Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Beijing, China

Duan flinched at the blaring of an alarm, followed soon after by several popping sounds. Pan sprang from his chair and hauled the door open, disappearing into the corridor as more gunshots rang out, confused shouting joining the cacophony of sounds. Something was going on, something completely foreign in China. He could see people assaulting a police station in America, but not here. It had to be a rescue attempt. It had to be Kane coming for him, but there was no way in hell he was leaving without his family.

He rose and peered out the door. Several people were poking their heads out like he was, fear in their eyes, the braver ones heading toward the fight. He sucked in a breath and squared his shoulders.

Act as if you’re supposed to be here.

He stepped into the hall and strode in the opposite direction of the gunshots, his jaw clenched, a scowl forced where a trembling lip demanded to be. A few people glanced at him, but nobody said a word. He stepped aside as two armed men raced past him. He reached the end of the hall and opened the door to his right, crying out in relief at the sight of his family cowering on the floor. His wife rushed into his arms and he held her tight.

“Is everybody all right?”

Tearful heads bobbed.

“Good. Now, I need everybody to be brave, everybody to be quiet, and everybody to do exactly what I say. We’ve only got a couple of minutes at most. Understood?”

More head bobs.

“Then follow me.” He poked his head out into the corridor, finding all attention still directed toward the gunshots. He pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, relieved it wasn’t locked. He beckoned his family through, cringing at every whimper, at every sniffle. He gently pressed the door closed behind them and looked around.

They were in an office area, but no one was in sight. The gunfire from the front had stopped, so they didn’t have much time. He spotted an exit sign and led his family toward it, pushing open the fire door. An alarm sounded but it was drowned out by the security siren. He led them out the back of the building and toward the street, uncertain as to where to go, but certain he had to get as far away from here as possible then contact Kane.

Only the Americans could help them now.
