Chapter 12: Countermine
Shiloh
The plan was set. Lydia had managed to hack into the security cameras two days before my meeting with Axel. She recorded over a day's worth of footage for 'just in case' purposes. The day of the meeting, she switched the current video feed with the recorded one. Liam, Lux, and I had four hours max before someone would noticed we were gone.
The place we met at was an inconspicuous restaurant in the middle of downtown. Axel was waiting for us at a table, wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Lux, Liam, and I were in similar garb. We were trying to blend in but when you have two daughters of the best fighter pilots on the planet and a guy that's six-foot-three with the looks of a supermodel, it's a little difficult. At least one person everywhere you go is going to recognize you. Sliding into the booth next to Axel, I asked, "Allison okay?"
"She hacked into her the Belkan military system and had herself stationed on my ship. She's safe and sound there, but anxious about your guys' safety. We've come with a plan, but it's dangerous, will probably involve a few jets and definitely helicopters. We were going to get tanks but figured that might be overkill."
"Because jets and helicopters aren't?" Liam remarked, raising his eyebrows.
"Who's this guy?" Axel inquired, pointing at Lux's friend.
"This is Liam Tomlinson. He's a friend and someone on the Gray Men's hit list," Lux explained.
"What did Simon talk to you about?" I interrupted before the two boys began bickering.
"He came up with an ingenious idea for us to find where you guys are when we come to extract you." Axel pulled a small bag out of his pocket. "Put one on your dog tags. One for each of you. We'll be able to track you with these, even from the ship."
"Where's Simon?"
"He's back at base where I'm pretty sure he's working on hacking into the electrical system so he can control it when we get you guys out of there."
"Isabelle and Lydia are probably helping him."
"So how exactly are you going to get us out?" Liam queried.
"Did you bring the map?" Axel turned to me.
"Here," I said, pulling out a piece of paper from my purse. I placed it on the table. My friend pointed to northwest wing of the base's barracks.
"This is where we're going to have the helicopters stationed for you to get on. It's closest to all your rooms, easiest for you all to get there. This part is flexible considering we don't know what the Gray Men are going to do. We're getting you out Sunday evening since it makes more sense to get you out of there before the whole thing goes down on Sunday night. Can you agree to that?"
"Yes," the three of us answered simultaneously.
"Good. Once you're on, we'll get you somewhere safe and work on what to do from there."
"Axel, you could be tried for treason for all this. You understand what you're getting yourself into, right?"
"I understood from the moment you asked me. Have you ever heard the saying 'the child shall pay for the sins of his father'?"
