Bab 113: I Am The Victim!

"This is Lieutenant Rex Abares.  He is assigned to this case."  Clark introduced the police officer to Erik.  Erik took the hand he extended and shook it lightly.

"Can people enter from the roof?"  Erik asked the lieutenant.

"Yes. Our alpha team is on it while the bomb squad is deactivating the bomb at the main entrance of the building."  The lieutenant said in a polite manner.

"How long have they been inside?"  Erik asked as he started pacing.

"Two hours."  It was Marlon who replied.

'Two hours.  A lot could happen in two hours!'  Erik took out a cigarette and started smoking.  He was anxious.  Clark cast him a curious glance.

Out of the blue they heard a horrendous cry.  It was a male's voice. And then silence.

"What's that?" Marlon asked.

"It looks like a man's cry and it came from the third floor.  Have your men reached the third floor?"  Erik asked the lieutenant.

The lieutenant spoke on his mouth piece.
