A Chaotic Christmas Eve

As he spoke, Luke quickly searched the bodies of the criminals. He found three M1911 magazines and two for a UMP.

He also took a holster and tactical vest off one of the criminals, and strapped the magazines he had just looted to the vest.

Everything took him less than a minute.

Everybody was dumbfounded as they watched the young officer, who seemed too familiar with this looting business.

Luke nodded at them. "You'll evacuate when the police helicopter gets here. Tell them to come back again ASAP. I'll bring the rest of the hostages to the roof. Do you understand?"

All the hostages nodded.

Luke suddenly beamed. "Oh, I almost forgot. Merry Christmas."

The hostages were lost for words. Do we look merry at all?

Luke, in the meantime, entered the elevator and went down to the 30th floor.

But the electricity went out in the whole building at that moment.
