The next morning I wake up at 5:30 in a pool of my own sweat. Aaron and Grace are still sleeping so I quietly get up and go to the balcony and gently push open the doors. The cold air hits my skin and starts drying my white pyjamas. I close the door behind me and sit on one of the old metal chairs that are sitting on the small balcony. I watch the sun as it starts to rise as I replay the events of the past 24 hours. Omega point still there, dad stabbed, Rosie gone. Omega point still standing, dad nearly killed, Rosie kidnapped. Omega point: alive, dad: alive, Rosie: unknown. But one thought is coming around more than often in the hurricane in my mind: Rosie is missing, Rosie was kidnapped, Rosie is possibly dead.
After a while, when the sun is nearly risen I look down and notice I have been biting my finger nails, a habit I thought I stopped when I was 16, and some of my fingers are bloody. I sit on the cold metal for a half hour or possibly two hours before I hear Aaron shouting my name in a panicked tone. "Juliette, love, where are you? JULIETTE?" I stand slowly and shove open the door to see Aaron standing in his pyjama bottoms, his t-shirt over his shoulder and Grace gurgling in his arms. "What were you doing out there sweetheart? I was worried." He blurts out. "I'm sorry I woke up early and was a bit warm. I didn't want to wake you" I say as I walk over and take Grace from his arms. "What time is it?" I ask "eight o'clock" he says. His T-shirt had spit up on it and he threw it into the washing basket. "I seem to be going through twice as many t-shirts now but I look into her tiny little face and I don't even care about walking around with no top on" he says as he gently pats her tiny tufts of hair. "You have more clothes than me, walking around bare chested is your decision, don't blame Grace" I say with a smirk. "Well if it means you look at me more with awe in those gorgeous eyes then I'd be mad not to" he says as he pretends to flex his muscles. "Stop it" I say as I hold his arm down with my spare hand "but your not wrong, but if you walk around base with no top on so will Kenji and I don't need that image in my life" I giggle. "Yeah I know poor Paula" he says as he comes closer to my face, being careful not to squish Grace, "I don't know how she lives with it" I whisper and Aaron bends down and meets my gaze and our lips gently brush together then becomes something much more powerful and meaningful but as I lean into him Grace starts to giggle and we break away from each other and smile down at the little baby. My mind suddenly steps out of this little wonderland with my family and the harsh reality hits me all at once and tears start streaming down my face. "Sweetheart what's wrong?" Aaron says "my parents might never have a moment like this with Rosie again." I weep. "Yes they will. But we have to get to work making a plan so we need Kenji" he says "okay, you take Grace while I go in the shower"
We walk out of the bedroom door and Aaron locked up the room. I carry grace in the baby carrier and the gentle rocking lets her fall asleep Aaron and I walk down the long corridors until we reach Kenji's room and Aaron knocks on the door. I hear a grunt coming from inside and I open the door. Kenji was lying with his face flat in the pillow and a sticky note stuck to his head. "Clearly you don't understand grunts, I obviously said "go away" you guys suck" he groans. I step over the clothes on the floor, probably what he was wearing the night before, "sorry sleeping beauty but we have an emergency" I say as I pull the note off his head "Paula says she'll see you tonight around six" I say "thanks for the update princess. What's the emergency?" He says as he sits up on the bed. "Rosie was kidnapped last night and we need a plan of attack to get her back." I say as I pick up a pair of jeans and throw them at his face. " put them on and come with us" I say "I'll meet you in twenty minutes. I'm going in the shower first" he chokes out "fine. Board room two in half an hour"
"So do we have a plan?" I ask Kenji, Aaron and Adam. "Yes I think we do" Adam says. "We will go to the "Alpha Point" early tomorrow morning to avoid as many people, we will go in a secret entrance that I know of, and look for any uniforms to use, we will split up, Adam and Juliette will go one way and Aaron and me will go another, we look for Lucy and Rosie, if we get caught we press the tracker device button which will tell the other group where to go. No matter what we stay together. If we find the girls with no issues we get out quickly and safely and come back to base. Then I can go to bed. Yes?" Kenji asks, we all agree "okay so we all meet at the front steps of base at four o'clock and we drive towards Omeg... Alpha Point and stop about three quarters of a mile away and walk the rest. Wear dark clothing, If Kenji can't cover us all the way, we want to blend in." Aaron says "okay guys see you at dinner, don't mention this to anyone, I will tell my parents. Get lots of sleep, you will need it" I say and we all walk out the door.
