Desperation on the Rooftop

Desperation on the Rooftop
With a smash, the emergency door flew open, exposing the rooftop in all its coldness and wind, Vivienne's final act of retaliation was appropriately accompanied by the thunderous roar of the chopper blades, The gurney rattles wildly on the concrete as Vivienne wheels Evelyn onto the rooftop, Behind the glass, the pilot's nervous visage is just barely visible as the sleek, black helicopter waits with its motor already spooling,
"Assemble her, " Now Over the deafening din, Vivienne's voice, raspy with excitement and triumph, screamed, "Get her out of the wind, "
With his knuckles scratched raw from his struggle with Marcus and a drop of blood leaking from his mouth from Marcus's earlier hit, Dominic stumbles a little as he follows, He moved like a caged beast, its energies wounded and frantic,
"Did you secure the package?" Pushing the gurney in the direction of the open chopper door, Vivienne urged,
Pulling his own weapon, a large black handgun, from his belt, Dominic yelled back, "The main access is clear, but the police are coming up the service stairs, " Beneath the bleak sky, the last battleground was set, terrible and austere,
Dominic staggered in the direction of the open bay door of the aircraft, his gaze darting wildly to the stairwell door as if Isaac would suddenly break through, Despite having his own revolver out, he moved clumsily due to pain,
Dominic yells, "We need to go, now," in a painfully strained voice that is hardly audible over the engine, "Everyone in the city is aware of our presence, We're going to lose our window,
The security alarms roar from below, a melancholy, ceaseless shriek resonating up the hospital's structure, and the chopper pilot hesitates, his face a sickening green, His palms were sweaty as he grasped the controls,
The pilot shook his head angrily and retorted, "I can't lift off with police interference, I'll lose my license, this isn't worth it, "
"You idiot, it's worth a million dollars, " Vivienne yelled, "Get us airborne!" and tore off her pointless surgical hat,
The pilot refused to release the collective and stated, "I won't move until the landing zone is clear, I see red flashing lights in the street below, " Knowing that the legal window for the kidnapping was soon closing, Dominic muttered venomously beneath his breath,
Vivienne's anger reached its zenith when the pilot refused, The raw, homicidal aim of a woman losing control of her last, desperate plan superseded all the artifice of the heartbroken mother or the sophisticated socialite,
With wild eyes, Vivienne yelled, "You fly now, " On the stairway, she whirled, lifting the little silver revolver she had taken from her scrub pocket, She put the pistol's muzzle up against Evelyn's enormous, bare belly curve,
"Take off, Or the infant passes away, Vivienne's voice, frighteningly firm in spite of the commotion, said, "And you, pilot, will be legally responsible for the murder of an unborn child and a mother in labor, " The threat was a promise, not a bluff,
When he sees the obvious intent in Vivienne's eyes, the pilot's face becomes completely white behind the glass, his eyes wide and terrified, "Stay calm, I'll call the tower, " Simply put down the weapon, "The baby gets on this chopper alive, or she goes out with a bullet," Vivienne said, keeping the cold metal's ruthless grip, "Flyboy, you have an option, "Life or mass slaughter, "
At last, Isaac's shoulder's ruthless force caused the steel door leading to the rooftop access to collapse, The rotor wash and the sun's dramatic descent over the city skyline temporarily blinded him as he exploded onto the windswept platform,
The sight came into terrifying focus: Vivienne, the silver handgun brutally placed against the exposed bulge of Evelyn's tummy; Dominic, revolver drawn and covering the entry; and Evelyn, pallid and unconscious on the stretcher,
"Mother Stop" Isaac yelled, aiming his own firearm straight at Vivienne's skull, Despite the commotion, Isaac's voice remained firm, and his years of corporate control gave him an unsettling composure in this last moment of reckoning, "Set the weapon aside and release her, This is finished,
Over the spinning blades, Vivienne yelled, "I told you I wasn't finished, Isaac, " "You should have stayed in prison because you forced my hand, " "You lose, Mother, " Isaac retorted, "The police are ten seconds from this roof, and Marcus has the recording of you and Crane talking about the kidnapping, " He approached her slowly and deliberately,
When the recording was mentioned, Vivienne's eyes briefly flashed with terror, but the unadulterated, raw anger soon returned, She changed how she held the pistol, applying more pressure to Evelyn's silky skin,
With a bitter laugh, Vivienne says, "The recording means nothing if the child is legally mine and the adoption petition is already filed, " The sound is lost in the wind, "She tried to take the one thing that was meant to be mine, my bloodline, and my legacy"
"The child is mine and you will not touch her" Isaac tightened his finger on the trigger and leveled his gun more steadily, warning,
"Son, you've already lost her, The instant you decided to choose that whore over your own family, you forfeited your claim to fatherhood, Vivienne's retaliatory remarks were a last, ditch effort to shatter him, "She has robbed me of everything, I take everything away from her now,
With a vicious sneer of unwavering hatred, In a terrifying, last, ditch threat to both her present and his future, she pushes the rifle barrel against Evelyn's growing tummy, With his hands up in surrender, the pilot let out a scream from his cockpit,
The gun barrel is pressed up to the life Isaac vowed to defend, and Vivienne's finger is on the trigger, Dominic is armed, and the police will arrive shortly, In order to exact her final, devastating retaliation against Isaac, would Vivienne pull the trigger and sacrifice the child?
