Calling for backup

Hailey and Amanda were lead to another room in their factory, perp walked by Karen and Emily. Once there, the mother and daughter pushed the two naked woman into a couple of chairs.

"Now, how do we keep their lips sealed about this?" Karen thought to herself, tapping her chin.

"Well," Emily suggested with an evil smirk as she eyed Amanda, "Ms. Gal here keeps wanting to destroy our merchandise with the incinerator, maybe she would like to see how it feels?"

"You are so fired!" Amanda growled.

"I know you are, but what am I?" Emily said sinisterly. Well, as sinisterly as she could.

"Tempting, Dear, but nah." Karen rejected, a smile coming to her face. "I have the perfect idea!"

Kayla and Caleb quietly snuck through the empty factory, the naked cop lifting her gun at the ready. Caleb, for his part, bit his lip as he followed close behind, only stopping once to look around.

"Isn't it a little weird that only those two guards were the only workers here?" Caleb whispered.

"A little, yeah, but - " Kayla responded, stopping mid sentence as she a voice from nearby.

"Hush! Get down!" She hissed as she pulled Caleb behind a crate, the two peeking out from the corner as they saw Karen and Emily talking to their hostages.

"I have the perfect idea!" Karen said with a smile, turning her attention to Hailey. "If you like pretending to be one of these little dolls so much, then we'll make you one. Emily here has been working on a prototype hypno recording that'll brainwash you until you're an obedient little puppet, just like the others."

"No!" Hailey whispered.

"Oh, yes. And the best part?" Karen asked, "With the actual doll running around as you and keeping your whale of a boyfriend busy, nobody will ever know. Then, we'll ship you out to the stores as a "Special, One of a Kind model" or something like that."

"And what about her?" Emily asked, pointing to Amanda.

"Simple." Karen replied, "We brainwash her as well, create a doll that looks just like her without the stupid tattoo, give the real one the tattoo, and ship her off to... I don't know. Antarctica? Some third world country? That hobo village on the outskirts of town? I haven't decided yet."

Amanda could only whimper.

"Hostage situation." Kayla said as she she and Caleb hid behind the crate once more. "That's not good."

"Hailey no!" Caleb whimpered as his eyes began to water.

"We'll save her, Caleb." Kayla whispered, trying to comfort the young man. "We just need backup."

"What 'backup'?!" Caleb quietly snapped, "You said it yourself. They bribed half the police ****!"

Kayla thought for a minute. It was true that these two must have been the ones who bribed half the precinct to keep, and the half that wasn't corrupted wouldn't be able to get here without the the corrupt half interfering. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she turned to Caleb. "Give me your phone!"

"What?"

"Give me your phone!" Kayla repeated, just as quiet despite the added ****.

Not wanting to argue, Caleb handed Kayla his phone and watched as the naked police officer dialed a number and brought the phone to her ear.

"Hello, Cindy?" Kayla said with a whisper once the phone answered, "It's Kayla. Yes, I know I'm only supposed to call your personal number in an emergency. That's why I'm calling! I'm calling in a solid you owe me. Yes now! This is a matter of life and ****! I'm a police officer, little sister, do you actually think I would joke about that?! It's a hostage situation and I can't get anyone else! Yeah, now you're listening. Two perps and two hostages, but... Let's just say I'm not dressed to the teeth at the moment. I need you to send everyone you have to Gal Industries Factory. Yes everyone available! This country only has one Gal Industries. You of all people should know that! How fast can you get here? That should be enough time, I think we can hold them 'til you get here. Thank you! Oh, and tell Benjamin I'll be sure to make it to his play on Tuesday. Bye!"

Hanging up the phone, Kayla handed it back to Caleb. "We got our backup."

"What?!" Caleb hissed, a mixture of anger and bewilderment. "How the hell is your little sister constitute as backup?!"

"You'll see when she gets here in half an hour." Kayla replied with a knowing smile, looking out from behind the crate again.

Her smile faded as she and Caleb saw Emily pull a pair of headphones from off a wheeled cart, getting ready to preform the deed as Karen stood back and smiled evilly.

"What'll we do until then?" Caleb asked, panic in his voice.

"Okay." Kayla replied, "I got a plan. I'll go and distract the perps, leading them away from your girlfriend and Ms. Gal over there. Once they got there sights on getting rid of what they think is the only witness, you go up to the hostages and untie them."

"But what if one of them stays behind?" Caleb asked, "I'm just a big, fat nerd. I can't fight! And you need your gun!"

"Listen," Kayla whispered, "I believe you can do this. Besides, even Neville Longbottom got a moment to shine against Voldemort, right?"

Upon seeing the confused expression on Caleb's face, the woman said, "You're not the only one here who's a nerd, pal."

Caleb was still unsure when he looked back at Hailey, silently gasping in horror as he saw the fear in her eyes as Emily placed the headphones on her head. His horror turned to anger as he whispered, "I'll do it! For Hailey!"

"Thatta boy!" Kayla said as she got ready. "Remember to wait until I lead either one or both away to untie those two. Ready? One... Two... Three!"
