Behind Enemy Lines

Chapter Three

Olivia's POV
I walked with my sister down to the mess hall to eat dinner with her. I was starving and as much as she eats, I bet she was to. As we walked down the hallway, many people were walking by us away from the mess hall. It was strange because when it was time for dinner, everybody came to eat.
They walked in a group, dressed in all black and not speaking. At the head of the group, I recognized the man. He had short brown military cut hair with sinister look to his face. He was very big and muscular, with black clothing on as well. I frowned as they passed my sister and I, never giving us a glance like they were to concentrated to know that we were walking past them.
I grabbed my sister shoulder and held on to it, beckoning her to stop. She quickly stopped and turned around to look at me.
"What is wrong Olivia?" Kali asked with a concerned look.
"I have a really bad feeling about that group of men that just passed us." I stated as I looked back at them walking down the hall.
Kali laughed. "Olivia, they are probably security." She said.
I looked back at her. "On a ship full of military trained CIA agents? I highly doubt it." I said as dragged her down past the mess hall.
"Olivia what are you doing?" Kali yelped as she followed me down the hall to the emergency steps. I stopped in front of the stairs and turned toward her. Suddenly, the ship jerked forward causing Kali and I fall forward on to the emergency steps. The alarms stared to go off loudly and the power shut off, causing the emergency lights to come on. Kali moaned as she grabbed her head as blood started to poor from the wound on her head.
All the doors slammed shut in the hallway, the noise of people banging against the iron doors became loud. I struggled to get up as I tried to help my sister.
"Kali you need to get up, we have to get out of the hallway." I said as I helped her up and we both jog up the stairs to the outside. Our room was not that far after we jogged up the stairs, I safely dragged her to our room and sat her down onto the bed, kneeling beside her. She held her hand to her hand and cursed under her breathe at the pain.
"Here let me look at it." I asked as I removed her hand, slowly revealing the small laceration just above her eyebrow. It was not very deep and would not require stitches, but it still had to be covered up. I stood up and quickly grabbed the first aid kit from our bathroom, I can back and kneeled in front of her.  I quickly worked as I placed gauze on her laceration and tapped it.
"What is going on Olivia?" Kali groaned. "Why did the ship do that and why did the alarms go off?"
I shook my head. "I do not know Kali." I said truthfully. "Something has to be going on."
Kali nodded. "We just need to find the captain." She whispered. I could tell she was getting dizzy and disoriented, so I lead her to the hidden bed room beside the bathroom. The hidden room was built there in case something happened, like somebody was invading the ship, the hidden rooms would provide safety until the invasion was under control. I had to get her in there to keep her safe.
"Kali I need you to stay here and keep quiet." I said. "I will go and find Ben. I will find out what is going on and come back for you."
"Olivia no." Kali groaned. "I can help you."
I shook my head. "You will stay here until I say it is clear." I demanded. "You will listen to me, you are not okay to walk around."
Kali rolled her eyes. "Fine." She whispered. "Please come back safe Olivia."
"I will Kali." I said as I kissed her forehead. "I will come back for you."
"You better." She replied as I slowly shut the door, hearing her lock the door from the inside and then I pull back the sliding part of the wall to cover the door.
I exited the bathroom and walked out of my room into the hallway. My first mission was to find Ben Winters, who happened to be my oldest friend and boyfriend who was in the Navy with me. Ben and I were best of friends and he introduced me to my first love, Thomas Westbrook before he died in a tragic accident.
Ben, Thomas and I were a trio that did missions together. However, Ben was the one behind the computer while Thomas and I did the ground work. Although we were the best team the CIA send out to complete missions, our last mission ended tragically.
Our last mission together was us chasing down and capturing Elijah Erikson, the leader of The Underground. We pursed him all the way to abandoned building that was built next the Mississippi River, that was when it all went down. We eventually reached the fourth floor when an explosion occurred, the building started to collapse around Thomas and I. We started to run and jump through the window when I realized Thomas has fell, I turned around to go back for him but then suddenly I was shot and fell out the window, dropping into the icy cold waters of the Mississippi River.
I ended up a mile down the river from where the abandon building was, I climbed on to the river bank and that was where Ben found me. I was rushed to the Emergency Department and under went surgery. Once I awoke, I found out that the love of my life was dead and my sister was almost killed in our house in New Orleans. Someone had set up a bomb in our basement to kill me just in case I did survive the gun shot wound to the chest. Now according the United States database that records every death, my sister and I were dead. Olivia and Kali Stone were killed in a tragic house fire due to a gas leak that lead to a explosion of the house, out of their ashes, Olivia and Kali St. Claire were born.
Thomas' body was never recovered and was labeled as MIA, even though I knew he was dead himself because building crashed into the river and was washed away. Now, my vendetta lies with Elijah Erikson and The Underground.
I swiftly walked down the hall and reached Ben's room, I softly knocked on the door but nobody answered it. I frowned and tried to turn the knob but it was locked.
'He must be down in the naval office with the director.' I thought to myself and walked down toward the bridge. Once I entered the room, I was greeted with the sight of Jack's dead body. Jack was co captain with Ben on the ship, he was also a father to two beautiful twin daughters named Elena and Meghan; and a husband to a wonderful wife named Rachel
I was about to lean down when I heard voices just outside the bridge, I quickly ran over to one of the closets in the bridge and quickly hid in it. I locked the door and remained quiet as people started to walk in.
"I knew Ghost would finish the job like I asked him." One of the voices stated, it was a rough male voice with a German accent to it.
"Well the kid is smart and sneaky." A second male voice spoke, this one was fully American.
"Now that the captain is dead, we have full control of ship." The German male stated. "All crew and passengers are locked in the mess hall, naval officers below ship have also locked in with others."
"It should be easy to spot Frostbyte in the crowd sir." The American voice stated.
My eyes began to widen. Of course they were looking for me even though I have not done any ground missions since the house explosion and the American database declaring my sister and I dead. They should have not known that I was alive and on this boat, somebody from the inside is a traitor and knows. They have betrayed me to these thugs that I assume were from The Underground and they better hope I do not find out who they are.
"You think so highly of that thought Devon?" The German male spoke again. "Finding Frostbyte is like finding needle in haystack. She is to cunning and swift for my men."
"Listen Elijah, we have the whole crew and passengers locked in that mess hall." The American named Devon spoke. "We can go through the manifest and find her that way. We know her name now and also her sister's name as well. It will be very easy to locate her."
Of course they knew about my sister Kali, my weakness was her.
Suddenly, a gun shot rang out and something hard collapsed to the floor. I jumped slightly, but remained quiet as I continued to listen. I knew it was Elijah Erikson that was on the boat, but how he found me was a mystery.
"Do any think it will be easy finding Frostbyte?" Elijah asked. A mumble of muffled voices said no at him. "Good, because Frostbyte is cunning and swift woman, she is like viper. She will stay hidden until she is tempted to come out, we must find weakness she calls her sister and draw out Frostbyte."
Eventually I heard the group of people leave and I exited the closet, why did they want me? So much for being dead to them, now I have to find Ben and find out what is going on.
