screams of the young children became louder and louder. Suddenly, the lone hostage-taker started laughing hard. He laughed and laughed loudly looking down on the mayor. Once again, his lunacy resurfaced. He turned around and faced the crying and screaming young hostages.   

           "Keep quiet, my daughter is sleeping, psst... silence you might disturb my sleeping daughter..." he whispered to the crying children.

           But the young children's cries and screams continually grew louder inside the big mansion. "What, didn't I tell you to keep quiet, quiet my daughter is sleeping!" he ordered and saw a green baseball bat belonging to one of the young hostages resting against the side of the elegant sofa in the living room. He immediately grabbed it and started hitting hard, aimlessly, around the living room damaging many things inside. The young children cried and screamed even harder.
