He threw the man holding him to the wall off and started running towards Kate. Either he saves Kate or he gets killed. Not a bad deal.

The man smirked. "You stop there or your girlfriend dies," he stated.
He stopped and dialed 9-1-1 behind his back.
He grinned. "That's what I thought. As I said, Mr. Ren. I am not afraid to kill her."
"Don't call me that." He glared at the man. It was sickeningly formal to call him by his last name.
"Is there a problem with that name?" he asked, smirking. Behind his back, he signaled the man holding Kate.
He pulled out the phone in a rush and yelled into it, "There's a guy with a gun at Still Water Apartments! Come quick!"
He laughed. "You think the police can stop us?"
"No, but they can get you out of here."
"With that, you are right. Good luck," he remarked with a smile. One of the men threw a smoke bomb and all of them vanished, leaving Kate and August alone.
He ran up to Kate and hugged her. "Don't do that again. If they take you, they take me."
Kate stiffened and tensed.
He noticed her stiffen but he didn't point that out. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
In her mind, she was screaming. She wanted to tell him that she was there, and that everything would be alright. But instead, her lips shakily whispered, "I don't know you." She could feel her heart breaking.
Sirens wailed outside. He was going to catch them or have them catch him. "Goodbye.", he told her with a sad smile as he ran.
Kate's empty eyes watched him go.
As soon as he broke into the light of the outdoors he felt like he was being watched. Police cars were parked outside. I don't care anymore.
A woman with black hair approached him. "Who are you?"
"That's what I've been asking myself.", he said in all seriousness.
"Well, we'll start off simple then. What's your name?" she asked, clicking her pen.
He looked unsure. "How do I know I can trust you?"
The woman looked a little surprised. "Well… I'm a licensed officer…"
"Show me please.", he said in a monotone. He wasn't going to trust any stranger.
The woman arched her eyebrows and pulled out her badge so she could show him.
"August Ren.", he echoed. I'm wasting time!
