Gematria held the taser on Peterson for several seconds, only stopping after a couple rounds had been fired from his gun. She then moved to kick the gun away from his hand, then turned to Rupa. "[color=f49ac2]You okay?[/color]" Gematria asked, but the sound of clapping behind Rupa was the answer she received. It was Ada Peterson, Sam Peterson's wife, and she had the two surrounded with her soldiers. Gematria froze, unsure of what to do now. Her mind raced furiously, trying to come up with a way to get them out of this situation. A few ideas did come to mind, but they were all exceptionally dangerous and did not have a guaranteed chance of success. When Ada began threatening Sam Peterson, Gematria realized that there really wasn't much of a chance for them to make it out, at least not if it meant keeping him alive. They were in a hostage situation, and Gematria didn't like it. 

"[color=f49ac2]You... you won't get away with this![/color]" Gematria futilely sputtered out. Gematria didn't know what else to do, but she could only decide to follow Ada and her soldiers out of the room to who knows where. I then occurred to her that maybe she should inform the others about their current situation. Gematria quickly typed out a text message and sent it to everyone else on the mission via their Hero watches: [i][color=f49ac2]Alchemist and I, hostage sitch. Peterson innocent. Wife Ada guilty. Help.[/color][/i] She hoped it would be enough to relay what was going on.
