Chan ran down the corridor the where Adam Chou sat placing another bomb and setting the timer. By the time he reaches the spot he is nearly out of breath.
"What's going on?" Chou asked absently.
"We're surrounded. The police just showed up," Chan replies.
"What?" He stands, annoyance displayed on his face. "Do we have an escape route?"
"The whole place is surrounded," Chan replies.
"Tell the rest of the men to continue with the explosives," Chou says starting to walk away to set another explosive.
"What are we going to do? We've got to try to get out of here," Chan cries.
Chou spins around, grabs and lifts Chan, then slams him into the wall. Chou's muscles ripple through his shirt as he holds the other man against the wall. "We will finish our job, for the glory of China. We'll use these creatures to help aid our escape."
"And if that doesn't help?" Chan dares to ask.
"Then we will die for our cause. Our sacrifice will aid in China's conquest."
Chou drops the man and lets him fall to the ground. As he walks away he says, "Tell the men to finish."

Doug
is impressed with the display of police when they pull into the operation that is set up outside the power plant. SWAT was deployed awaiting orders, as a SWAT helicopter hovered overhead with its search light gleaming over the area.
Doug gets out of the truck and walks over to the sheriff.
"Mr. Wiltkins, thank you for coming," Croay says, shaking Doug's hand.
"Glad to be here, thank you for notifying us. Call me Doug."
"Alright Doug. You can call me Jonah. My men and the SWAT team are at your disposal," he says, sweeping his hand over the area.
After spending several minutes of greeting various people, Doug had the heads of each group and his men huddled around the strategy table in the semi.
"Here's how we are going to handle this situation," he says looking at each person in turn. "Jonah, your men will cover the front, handling crowd control and ensuring none of the terrorists escape that way. Robert," he says to the sergeant and leader of the SWAT team, "on my signal, your team will enter through the back, flush them toward my team. We'll take one floor at a time until we have all of them captured."
"Are we aiming to take them alive or shoot first ask questions later," Robert asks.
Doug laughs. "As much as I'd prefer the shoot first, we need to attempt to take a few alive. There's at least one more terrorist cell out there and we will need information to find them. Any more questions?" No one had any. Their assignments were simple. "Alright then, let's do this and try to come out alive."
The explosives were all set up and the men were ready. Chan found Chou on the top floor of the plant, two of those hideous creatures were with him and a smile was spread across his face. "Everything is done. We await your orders," Chan informs him.
"We have quite an operation against us. I have a task for you though. There is an emergency set of stairs that lead to the front of the plant. Once the police have entered, you'll take four soldiers and the four creatures and attack the police there."
Chan is surprised and a bit scared to have this task placed on him. The mixed emotions must have shown on his face. Chou notices his expression before Chan had a chance to hide it.
