The kicker, and what makes this specially mean? Rika is pregnant, and HE is the baby's father.

Air Gear: Sora brainwashes his girlfriend, Rika Noyamano, into fighting Kilik and the Sleeping Forest team, which Rika used to be a member of.

If the hostage-taker specifically wants to trade their hostage(s) for something, see Hostage for MacGuffin. Contrast Baby as Payment, which is when a baby is taken permanently to pay for something else, and Political Hostage which is the 'polite' version of this used by polities throughout history as a form of alliance, subjugation and suzerainty. unorthodox solution to this is to Shoot the Hostage, while only someone with Improbable Aiming Skills could try to Shoot the Hostage Taker.

Frequently involves Put Down Your Gun and Step Away. Or (one of) the hostages is secretly working with the bad guys.Īlso see 'Die Hard' on an X and Caught Up in a Robbery. In some instances, the hostage crisis could be used as a smokescreen or distraction for other plans by The Syndicate. Often this overlaps with its more spontaneous, desperate cousin, Human Shields.

Things get a bit more complex if the hero has been unwittingly taken as one of the hostages, and both complex and ironic if the hostages were taken to lure in the hero who has been unwittingly taken hostage. There may also be a hostage who just completely panics and starts screaming and flailing about in a way that frightens a bad guy into shooting them. A hostage who decides to raise the stakes by calling the bad guy's bluff.

A particularly noble hostage who tells the hero not to worry about them and kill the bad guy anyway. This might be a case of death by Genre Blindness. A hero-wannabe hostage, for instance, whose primary job is to try something stupid and get killed. A really unhinged SWAT leader might muse about nuking the building from orbit.Ī few additional characters are required for this scenario.

The negotiator's primary assistance in perpetrating this lie will be a wild-eyed SWAT team leader who is panting for a chance to go in with More Dakka and kill all the bad guys.

In spite of this, most city police forces on TV employ a negotiator specializing in these situations who has the job of convincing the bad guys that this time it could all turn out differently, if they are only judicious and fair in the way they release hostages. The true gauge of their desperation, that no degree of Genre Blindness can excuse the bad guys from knowing, is that their demands for a helicopter or jet plane are never met by the police.

The situation for the bad guys has gone so far sideways that they're trapped by law enforcement, and the only way out is to trade hostages for a means of transportation and free passage.
