The drug trafficker yelled at Ella Pemberton again.
Heeding his words, Ella Pemberton didn’t show any resistance, nor did she rashly make a move. Instead, she honestly moved to the diagonal above the hostage, completely blocking the drug trafficker.
The situation with the hostage was delicate; she naturally couldn’t take any risks.
The drug trafficker looked around, seized the moment, and forcefully pushed the pregnant woman forward, then quickly moved to the right. One hand wrapped around Ella Pemberton’s neck from behind, while the other, holding a dagger, pressed it against her throat.
The person had changed, but the posture had not.
The released pregnant woman, panicking, took two steps forward before the rushing SWAT officer quickly assisted her.
Taking the chance to fall, the pregnant woman’s face was covered with sweat and tears; she clutched the officer’s wrist tightly, gritting her teeth and squeezing out a few words, "I, I’m about to give birth!"
The SWAT officer was a man, completely inexperienced in this area, but he reacted quickly and lifted the woman horizontally.
No sooner had he tossed the woman over when they received an order from their deputy team leader, "The rendezvous point is a kilometer from here, get there fast!"
The SWAT officer paused slightly, obviously still concerned about the situation here.
"We’ve got this covered, saving her is what matters!" the deputy team leader said decisively.
Without further hesitation, the SWAT officer firmly acknowledged the command and sprinted away with the pregnant woman in his arms.
Saving her was critical!
Now that the hostage had been saved, she couldn’t be allowed to die in his arms.
Fast, fast, fast!
He ran desperately down the road.

And, just as the SWAT officer’s voice faded, those still standing heard the drug trafficker’s warning voice, "All of you back off!"
"Deputy team leader!"
At his side, a SWAT officer called out with palpable urgency.
They didn’t know that Captain Pemberton was also pregnant. They had just rescued one pregnant woman, and now another one was in the trafficker’s hands, and they had lost a sniper.
What a predicament!
The deputy team leader, frowning, weighed the situation in his mind and then made a hand gesture, "Back off for now."
Instantly, the other four officers all looked at him, surprised and reluctant, but no matter how complex their emotions, they all stepped back a few paces.
This put them about five meters further away from the drug trafficker.
Seeing them obey and back off, the trafficker holding Ella Pemberton let out a breath, which he hadn’t realized he’d been holding, and then shouted at them again, "Don’t follow us, or I’ll kill her at any time!"
It was a bluff, but following that, he planned to drag Ella Pemberton back step by step.
Continuing the standoff was not a solution; his goal was to escape successfully.
Moreover—
He still had a mission to complete!
He couldn’t linger in this place!
Determined, the drug trafficker’s steps were small, but he was indeed retreating, and the distance between them grew wider.
Not far away.
The few who watched them leave couldn’t contain themselves any longer.
"Deputy team leader, what should we do?!"
The Criminal Police officer who had spoken earlier couldn’t help but speak up again toward the deputy team leader.
Annoyed, the deputy team leader cast a glance at him and spat out two words curtly.
At times like this, he was out of options.
The drug trafficker’s eyes were on them, and any move they made would be noticed by the enemy, leading to actions detrimental to Ella Pemberton.
After a moment’s thought, the deputy team leader slightly turned his head and spoke quietly to his communicator, "Sniper number two, what’s your status?"
