Suddenly, the curious male and female by standers saw Mayor Sotero who just arrived.

          "Sir Mayor Sotero is already here," stated one of the policemen.

          Hurriedly, the negotiator ran to meet the mayor who had just arrived.

          "It's good you have already arrived Mayor Donato, I'm worried our hostage-taker is getting more impatient and irritated by the minute," confessed the lead negotiator. "Mayor, I'll order some of my police men to accompany you, you might need help and protection, just in case," offered by the concerned negotiator.

          "I'm taking care of everything, don't you worry I can easily handle this. Okay, just stay here and wait for a short while and I'm definite, those kids will be running out of the mansion, one by one, like nothing bad happened to them," he added and immediately walked towards it.
