"Shut up."
The robber on the other end of the phone rebuked.
The hall fell silent again, and the robber said into the phone, "Are you satisfied now? Hm.
Starting now, the countdown begins again. In half an hour, I'll kill another person.
I'll say it again, I don't need a negotiator, my word is an order.
Don't call again until you're ready with what I want!"
The call was hung up once more.
"Fuck!"
Anthony pounded the car hard. "These damned thugs!
Where's the electrical expert? Bring him over immediately."
"Sir, he's on his way," an FBI agent replied.
Anthony took a deep breath and said to Luke beside him, "Tell your men to get ready, we're going in in 30 minutes."
The FBI had taken over the scene, and with hostages being killed, the FBI was to bear the brunt of the responsibility, increasing the pressure on Anthony.
