Hi, my name is Ben.

ME: Mr. Mayor--

It's been a long time since Davis and I had a rumble.

ME: --We need to talk.

But if I remember correctly, I won more often than I lost.

We had just arrived at the man where the gunman was holding three people hostage--one of them probably Paige and the other two Jeremy, Jackson, Ritchie, or who knows who?

ME: And he could take the hostages out with him!
LIAM: We have to take that chance.

But before he could continue, a body landed two feet from us.

ME: Did that just come from the roof?

Everyone went rushing to see who the body belonged to, but I just looked up at the roof to see who might be up there--
