The Story of Jenny Christmas ---- An Expendables Fanfiction

Chapter 4 -- Where is Everyone?

========= Jenny's POV ==========

The guys had been up all night planning for our latest mission. Aparently some guy named Church had cornered Barney in the plane after the big fight with Lee. He told him that he needed to go to Russia, I think, and retrieve this box with some girl named Maggie. I was half asleep during the meeting, my head on Barney's shoulder, so I couldn't remember all of the details. 

I woke up around 8am, this was weird because Barney said that he liked to leave early. I guess he changed his mind or something. He wasn't in bed when I woke up but I figured that he was downstairs making final preparations. The entire house was silent as I walked downstairs. There was no one home. Where was everyone? I walked into the kitchen and a yellow piece of page taped to the refridgerator door caught my eye;

Jenny,

I'm sorry but I couldn't take you with me on this mission. It's dangerous, and I couldn't bear the thought of you getting hurt. Lee was okay with the idea so we left before you woke up. I'm so sorry, and I hope that you will forgive me. This job should be easy but if anything happens I want you to know that I love you. I know that I have only known you a week or so but, it just feels right. Please just stay home, I cannot lose you too.

Love Barney.

ps.

Hey Sis, it's Lee now. 

I know that you will listen to me, or at least I hope you will. Just stay here please. Barney and I couldn't take loosing you. Please.

Love Lee.

GOD DAMMIT! They had left me here because they thought that I couldn't take care of myself. But who had taken my place? It must've been the Billy kid who was here last night. I thought he was just another mercenary, not my fucking replacement. 

And Barney said that he loved me, but we will get to that later. I am seriously pissed. How dare they leave me like this. I wasn't going to let them stop me. 

I ran up the stairs and packed my usual bag; leather and kevlar suit, retractable bow staff, mask, 4,000 dollars cash, civilian clothes, laptop, chargers, maps, cell phone, combat boots, hair ties, and a bunch of other crap.

I walked down the stairs, only to be headed off by Tool. I guess he didn't go with them on this mission.

"Where do you think you're going missy?" He asked me with a toothpick in his mouth.

"Well, Tool, I'm going to find my brother and my lover and kick their asses." I retorted.

"Okay, well do you even know where they are?" He said, and it dawned on me that I had absolutely no idea where they had gone, other than Russia or something. 

"No, I don't. But I'm assuming you do. So just spill it Tool." I replied

"No can do missy. Sorry, but you'll never get me to talk." He said with an air of confidence about him.

Before he could say anything else, I had him pinned up agaist the wall with my bowie knife centimeters from his neck.

"Ooo, your fast missy.." He began to say before I cut him off.

"Where are they?" I spat angrily at him, "I don't want to hurt you Tool, so just cooperate." 

"fine, I'll give you the maps and everything they left behind if you just let me the fuck go."

"Fine" I replied. 

I felt horrible for having to threaten Tool, but my boys were out there somewhere and I'll be damned if I won't find them. Tool led me into the other room and showed me the duffel filled with maps and tech that they were using last night.
