So, when Aaron kidnaps Brian from the hospital, York and his team decide to bring Maxwell as a hostage negotiator. (If they use someone who's close to Aaron, maybe they'll get somewhere faster) So they get there and give him a megaphone. Nothing works. York and Maxwell decide that he needs to go in while they wait for the professionals (hostage rescue/bomb squad). They hook him up with a wire and an earpiece, give him a pistol, and sneaks him in.
Maxwell finds Aaron huddled near the window, clutching a gun.
