Secret SEAL

Chapter 14

I woke up the next morning and got dressed to go downstairs, today is Saturday but I have the day off to spend the day with my family. Once I got downstairs I saw my aunt and uncle already up with dad and Nick was in dad's arms. "Good morning guys." I said and they all looked to me. "You got the day off?" Dad asked and I nodded.
"The admiral gave me a day off to spend time with my family, by the way when do you two return to Siberia?" I asked my aunt. "Tomorrow morning, so it was convenient that you got today off." Aunt Alexandria said and I nodded.
"So who's up for the beach?" I asked and everyone said that would be good so I decided to fix a small breakfast and when Georgia and Sarah came down for breakfast I would tell them what we were doing today.
I fixed bacon and eggs and told everyone it was ready and went to get Georgia and Sarah. Once we ate breakfast and I told Georgia and Sarah what we were going to do today we all got in the hummer and got ready to go.
We got to the beach and got out to go down to the water. "It's not that crowded with humans this morning but it will be crowded pretty soon." I told everyone and they nodded.
Sarah went to get in the water and I told her not to go too far from land. "Ok daddy, I won't." She said and I nodded.
Georgia sat Nick on the sand and he began playing with it. "Having fun little man?" I asked him and he laughed. "I'll take that as a yes." I said smiling.
"So how are you liking the States so far aunt Alexandria?" I asked and she looked up at me. "It's nice, some beautiful scenery, we're gonna have to come visit more often." She said and I nodded. "That would be good, just call before you do so we can tell you if it's a good time to come or not." I told her. "Sure thing Lucian, we will." She said and I nodded.
"Good, because it wouldn't be too great if you came and something was happening that could get you two hurt." I told them and dad agreed.
I looked out towards Sarah and she looked to be having fun. She started to swim on her back and something pulled her under. I jumped up and began scanning the water for her, when I didn't see her I told Georgia what happened and went to see if I could find her.
I dove in the water and looked around under the water and saw Sarah struggling in the arms of a man so I swam towards them at top speed. I got Sarah from the man and sent her to the surface and fought with the diver. I finally got the upper hand and knocked him out and began pulling him towards land.
Once I got on the shore I dragged the guy onto a spot on the beach and told dad to find a rope or something to tie him up. He came back with rope from an old shipwreck and I tied the guy up and we waited for him to wake up.
As the minutes passed more humans began to show up to the beach and finally he woke up. I took his mask off and began the interrogation. "Why did you try to take my daughter?" I asked him and he remained silent so I punched him.
"I said why did you try to take my daughter?" I asked him again and he still remained silent so I put my foot on his manhood.
"If you don't answer my questions, for each question you don't answer I will put more weight on my foot until you answer." I told him and he looked scared. "Now answer the question why did you want my daughter?" I asked him and he finally told me. "My boss wanted her, she's got a special mutation in her DNA and he wanted to run some tests on her." He said and I began to get angry.
"What mutation does she supposedly have?" I asked him and he didn't answer so I put more weight onto my foot. "What mutation?" I asked him again. "I don't know, he wouldn't share that information with me." He said.
"Last question, who is your boss and where would I find him?" I asked him and he looked away so I pressed my foot down harder and he yelled in pain making people look. I bent down so I was face to face with him and asked him again. "His name is Jose Deidre, and he's a few miles from here, please, I'm just a scientist, I have a family." He said.
"Give me the coordinates and I'll let you live for now but you will be put in a cell as our prisoner." I told him and he told me the coordinates of the place so I knocked him out and stood back up.
I heard the police sirens and soon the cops showed up as we were dragging the guy to the hummer to take him to the prison chamber at the territory. We lay him on the parking lot behind the hummer and the cops came to us. "Good morning gentlemen, we got a call from here from people saying you were torturing some guy." One said and I nodded.
"That would be correct, he tried to take my daughter so I began interrogating him and every time he wouldn't answer I would hurt him until he answered my questions." I told the cop. "And who are you?" He asked and I told him. "Captain Lucian Phillips of the United States Navy SEALS." I told him and he nodded. "Have a good day." He said and left so we loaded the man in the back of the hummer and left.
By the time we got to the territory our prisoner was awake and so I got him out of the back of the hummer and took him to the cells. "Why are you working for a terrorist or whatever he is?" I asked the guy and he hung his head. "He threatened my family, said if I didn't do what he told me to he would torture and kill my wife and kids." He said and I nodded.
"I'll check out your story further but for now, you can stay down here in one of the cells." I told him and he nodded. "Just check on them for me will you?" He asked me and I asked where they were. "They're at home, hopefully safe." He said and told me his address.
"Ok I'll check on them and get back to you and if your story checks out I'll get you back to your family after we eliminate these people." I told him and he nodded thanking me as I put him in a cell.
I went back to my family and told them what was going on. "He claims to have been forced into following this Jose's lead so I'm going to check his story out and I'm going to the base to talk to the admiral about this and see if I can get my team so we can go find these people." I told them and they nodded. "Sarah, he didn't hurt you did he?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"Just held me in place, looked unsure about what he was doing." She said and I nodded. "Good, maybe he's telling the truth." I said and then left after taking my family back to the house.
I got to the gates of the base and after a guard saw my face he let me through. I got out of my hummer and went to find the admiral. "Do you know where admiral Sutherland is?" I asked someone. "He's in the training facility training some guys." He said and I thanked him and went to the training facility.
The ones he was training were my guys and once Sam looked my way he told the admiral and they all came over to me. "I thought you took the day off captain." The admiral said and I nodded. "I did, but we have a problem, someone tried to take my daughter and I found out who he was working for and where they were staying." I told him and he nodded. "Well if you want to go after them take your team and go, but who's their leader?" He asked and I told him.
Once he heard the name he seemed surprised. "What? Do you know of these people?" I asked him and he nodded. "Jose Deidre is the leader of a terrorist group we've been tracking for a year now, I think I'm going to join you on this one." He said and I nodded.
"Alright, but where it's at is a little community and we need to use stealth to take them down and we need to do it quickly." I told them and they nodded. "Alright team get ready for this, I wanna be home for supper." The admiral said and we all went to get ready.
As I was getting my shirt on Sam came to me. "Hey, captain, who are we going against this time?" He asked and I told him. "It's a terrorist group, they wanted Sarah because she has some kind of mutation in her DNA and they wanted to do some tests on it and wanted to use it for some reason." I told him and he nodded.
"Let's go get them then." He said and I nodded smiling. "That's the spirit, now remember, stealth only." I told him and he nodded.
We went back to meet up with the admiral and the team made it to us a minute later. "Alright, you know the drill, stay silent but take them all down and if there's any hostages, rescue them." He said and we nodded. "Hooyah!" We all shouted and loaded up in the Jeep.
We got to where the place was and parked on the side of the road a little distance from the place. We got out and went into the woods so we could see the house and see if anything happens in there. "Do you hear anyone?" Sam asked me and I nodded. "A few heartbeats and someone arguing, one heartbeat sounds bad slow, I think they have a hostage in there." I told him and he nodded. "You and Sam move in and signal if you need help." Admiral Sutherland said and we did after shifting into birds. I was a raven and Sam was a cardinal we would use my call for backup and his for all clear and that's what I told the admiral. I flew away and perched on a limb near a window so I could see inside, there was a guy tied up in a chair so I tapped on the window to see if he would look up and he did.
Once I saw his face I knew exactly who it was, it was captain Johnson, why do they need a retired SEAL? I wondered and flew around looking in all the windows. There were about six guys total and so I flew to the back of the house to meet up with Sam. "It's captain Johnson, he's the hostage, and there are about six guys total." I told him and he nodded and we went to the front door, I tapped on the door and when someone came to investigate I slipped inside without a sound.
Once I got to where I could shift without being seen I shifted back to my form and took out the first guy quietly and let Sam in. "Ok, stay close and watch my back." I whispered and he nodded. We went up to where they were holding captain Johnson after I hid the body of the first guy and went in the room. "Captain Johnson, you're safe now." I told him as I untied him and told Sam to get him out of here as I shifted to look like captain Johnson and sat in the chair holding the ropes to look like I was tied up.
A few minutes later with my enhanced hearing I heard Sam slip out the front door with captain Johnson and then someone came in the room. "So Johnson, where are captain Phillips and his family, the one we sent to find him never came back so now you have to tell me." He said and I didn't answer.
He got up and got in my face. "Where are they, his daughter is something special, she has a mutation in her DNA that could turn my men into super soldiers and we need that to take over America." He said and my temper flared but I kept my cover.
"So you want to know where they are do you?" I asked him making my voice sound weakened until it was time to show him who I really am. "Yes, and you're going to tell me." He said and I smiled and looked at him. "I'm right here." I said shifting back to my form making him stumble back in surprise.
I took him down quickly and shifted into a wolf to find and kill the rest. I took everyone down and shifted back to my form and went to the leader's body and carried him out to the team. "Mission accomplished, gonna need to clean up that mess in there." I told them dropping the body of Jose on the ground.
"Good work Phillips, thanks for saving me." Captain Johnson said and I nodded. "No problem, you've saved me a few times so I returned the favor, what we're you doing in Mississippi?" I asked him and he told me. "I was coming to see how you and the team were doing." He said smiling and I nodded. "Everyone's great, still following some of your advice you gave us when we first joined." I told him and he nodded.
"So how are you feeling?" I asked him. "Good, just a few bruises here and there but nothing as bad as what you've been through when you were captured." He said and I nodded.
"We need to check on someone when we get this cleaned up." I told the team and they nodded as we went back in to get rid of the bodies then the cops showed up before we got in the house, I guess the neighbors called them.
"Hello gentlemen, can we help you?" I asked them when they got out and one looked at me. "Got a call about a disturbance, what's going on?" He asked. "A terrorist group was staying in this house and we got rid of them, we're United States SEALS and I'm the captain of this team, and the guys behind me are the admiral of the base, my old captain from Florida Douglas Johnson, who they were holding captive, commander Marcus Hart lieutenants Alex Ferguson and Silas Martin, and Ensigns Jacob Rice and Sam Nicholson." I told him and he nodded.
"Need any help getting rid of the bodies?" They asked and we nodded. "Sure, just gonna warn you, there is a lot of blood." I told them and they nodded. "You did all this?" Sam asked when we got inside and I nodded. "Scared their leader when he came to interrogate Johnson and I shifted back to my form then I broke his neck." I told him once the cops were out of earshot and he shuddered. "Remind me to never get on your bad side." He said and I laughed. "Sure thing." I told him.
We got everything taken care of and after the cops left we began walking back to the Jeep. "Who is it you need to check on?" The admiral asked and I told him. "The guy that tried to take Sarah claims he's a scientist and he was forced into working for the terrorists since they threatened his wife and kids and he asked me to check on them." I told him and gave him the address.
We went to check on the family and when I got there I knocked on the door. A woman answered and I spoke up. "Miss, we have a guy claiming to be your husband. He says he was forced to work with some terrorists who threatened your life." I told her and she nodded.
"Yes, that's my husband and it's all true. Where is he?" She asked. "Would you mind coming with us?" I asked her and she nodded. "Sure, just let me get the kids I can't leave them alone." She said and I nodded.
Soon she came out with a little boy and a baby girl and I helped get them in the Jeep. We got to where I took the guy and told the woman to wait out here while I got him since the team went home and the admiral dropped captain Johnson off at my place.
I got to his cell and woke him up. "Your story checks out, your wife is here to get you and I'll drop you by your place." I told him and he nodded. "Thank you so much, did you get rid of the terrorists?" He asked and I nodded. "They're all dead." I told him and he blew out a sigh of relief.
"Good, now get me out of here." He said and I did. I took him outside and his wife ran straight into his arms. "I missed you so much." She told him and he nodded.
"I guess we better go, I need to tell my family what I'm doing so follow me." I told them and they did.
We got to my house and I told Georgia what I was doing and got back to the couple and their kids. "We're going to have to walk to the base, you gonna be ok?" I asked them and they nodded. "And if you want I can carry your son, it's going to be a long walk." I said. "Sure, go to him Tommy." She told her boy and he did so I picked him up. Before we started walking Sarah ran up to me. "Can I go with you daddy?" She asked.
"I guess but you know it's a pretty long walk don't you?" I asked her and she nodded. "I know daddy." She said and looked at the man who tried to take her and smiled at him.
"I forgive you." She told him and he smiled. "Thank you, I didn't want to try to take you I'm just not a bad guy." He said. "I know." She told him and we started walking.
Twenty minutes later we made it to the base and I set the boy down and went in to get the hummer. I drove outside the gates and everyone got in.
Once everyone was buckled in I drove towards their house and once we got there before the guy got out he looked at me. "Thank you for this." He said and I nodded. "No problem, turns out my admiral was after that group for a year and it's also part of the job making sure terrorists don't succeed in their plans." I told him and he nodded and got out.
I drove off with Sarah sitting beside me in the passenger seat and she looked over to me. "I'm glad you let him go." She said and I nodded. "He was telling the truth so I had to let him get back to his family." I told her with a smile.
We got home and got inside and saw Georgia waiting for us with supper finished. We all ate our food and went to bed, I have to work tomorrow so I gotta be up early. I fell asleep with my wife in my arms and my family on my mind.
