Last night, an unresolved rescue


I was at an after school program when a father who I thought looked like Timothy Olyphant came in and talked about his step daughter. Her biological father seemed to be acting strangely (pictured above!) He was a war veteran and would turn up suddenly after missing for days.

He was, as it turns out, teaming up with a hit squad to take out a bizarre future version of Indiana Jones. This hit squad raided Jones' secret safe house complex and murdered his two best allies, a portly english professor and hard nosed miner. Unfortunately, there were two other people at the complex, and they were taken hostage. Jones' was murdered on the roof and the two hostages tried to fight/ bargain their way out of the situation. A Nicole Kidman look a like was able to console the war veteran father, almost seduce him into letting her live. He was having horrible flash blacks and was becoming increasingly more and more incoherent. I remember him holding a gun, sitting at the end of a long table in a dark, orange and green lit room, swaying back and forth and uttering nonsense as the woman shuddered at every quick gesture he made, not knowing if he was going to kill her.

I, along with a team of hostage negotiators, infiltrated the complex. Unfortunately for us, a team working for the crime boss who had sent the original hit team was right behind us. It turned into a bloody cat and mouse game. The complex was a maze, an old hospital that was abandoned right in the middle of renovation. It was on the outskirts of a new city. It began to rain hard, and water began to pour into some broken roofless hallways. The lights would go on and out, and there seemed to be an endless amount of floors and staircases.

Near the end, a ghost helped my find one of the hostages.
