Age Is Just A Number || Miniminter FF COMPLETED

35

I woke up to the sound of the door opening.

"You two get up lets go" Eloise said standing there.

I heard the sounds of Rhys beginning to wake up and I didn't want her to cry. I got up quickly to see Tagnan licking her head making her a bit sleepy again. I picked her up cradling her, and carried her towards the door. I waited for Simon and D'Artagnan then headed to the main room in my pyjamas.

"We have a plan people" Morpurgo said walking in with his bubbly self in his suit.

"What is it?" Beth said yawning and resting against morning moody Jide.

Those two were like brother and sister already, JJ the big angry lump and Beth the bubbly chick, Beth had a way of using her humour to make JJ let loose a bit and be his old self. However, Eloise clearly didn't see it that way, she furrowed her brow every single time Beth and JJ had a brother-sister moment and she looked quite disheartened. Not that I care about her life or situation but I wish that they would just talk and get together and be happy again... For Jide's sake of course.

"We need the military" Morpurgo Said.

"Woah, woah, woah. The fucking military? Are you crazy? It's one thing sneaking under Dexter's nose and working with you to bring him down, but getting the military? That's a big no-no" I said like a movie character.

"She has a point, to be honest" Harry said with his arms crossed "I doubt there's not a single person thats corrupt in there, there's bound to be people in there that know about Dexter's plot. Which is most likely going to be the general and Lieutenant General" Harry said helping my case.

"Well then, we plan years ahead. Dexter's base data has been destroyed, his files, copies and codes destroyed, and I doubt he knows it off by heart. It's going to take him years with the little resources he has to get back to where he was, giving us enough time to plot of plan to assassinate and take down Dexter and the hierarchy" Morpurgo said and I knew he was adamant on doing so.

"You need to get ready like you've just got back to your old base, I'll send Simon's group to retrieve your stuff. Then we'll blow it up, whilst everyone is outside of course. So Dexter realises you guys have to move else where" Morpurgo added "Then you can stay under our base without him realising you're on my side" He finished.

"Now go get suited up" he said and we nodded.

I quickly got into my suit as Simon and the others left, I walked outside and handed Rhys over to Morpurgo "Look after her" I said.

"I'll guard her with my life" He replied and I nodded "What's her name by the way"

"Rhys" I said then headed towards the door.

I walked alongside of Kayleigh, Katie and Emily.

"Do you think Purgo's plan is going to work?" Emily said making conversation.

"Its a bit... rushed" Katie replied.

"Yeah, if the slightest thing goes wrong, then we're all fucked" Kayleigh added.

"Well then, lets not get it wrong." I replied quite dull.

I walked ahead of everyone on my own.

"Everything is out" Simon said through the com and I took a deep breath in.

I pushed forward and went to open the door. My eyes closed, time slowed, I felt the force and heat push me back and my body smash into the floor. The pain rushed in as I took more force than everyone as I was so far forward.

"Fucking hell, Morpurgo" I mumbled to myself and coughing.

I felt my face and noticed I had a few cuts, I turned and looked to the group with a shocked expression on my face that was purely acting because there were eyes and ears everywhere.

The guys acted like their shit was over, hopefully it was believable enough.

I dragged Mia away from the burning building "Come one Mia, we have to go" I said pulling her away.

I walked out onto the balcony of Murpurgo's building, shoving a cigarette between my lips and lighting it. I inhaled the smoke, feeling it flow through my lungs. My eyes scanned across the ruined land, I looked at all of the destroyed buildings and saw the darkness on our side then looked into the distance to see the hierarchy land, perfectly fine, the sunlight behind it, making it seem like this delicate dream land. I heard someone walk out onto the platform behind me, I could tell it was Eloise.

"We shouldn't kill them" She spoke.

"What?" I said, the smoke coming out.

"We can warn them, let them make their own decision. If there's life, things can change" She replied.

I furrowed my brow and turned to look at her, scowling "Do you hear yourself? They've killed hundreds, thousands, millions the near goddamn world population Eloise! and you think we should give them a chance? Where are your family right now? Where are all of our families right now?" I said getting angrier as she stared me in the eyes "Six feet fucking under! The people who killed my parents! JJ's parents! Freya's! Josh's! Simon's! YOURS! and you dared to say you want to give them a second chance! Pretty sure your brother would be disappointed in you if you made thats stupid decision." I said my eyes started to swell and her eyes developing tears.

"Look, although we've gone separate paths the past few years i'm still gonna be there for you. I'm gonna be there for you when you're down, when JJ's pissed you off, when you try to make stupid decisions like this one! This isn't a world full of sunshine, rainbows, happy endings nor forgiveness and mercy, this is a world full of vengeance, hatred and monsters" I said calming down and then looking away "It always has been" I whispered in a wobble, looking at my hands that fiddled with each other whilst my elbows rested on the railings.

"I'm sorry Ellis, I'm sorry for being a bad friend, I should have stuck with you when shit went down, but I didn't and I'm sorry for that" She said making me look down at her because of the height difference.

I smirked and giggled then pointed to the window "It's fine, you took care of him for me" I said smirking as we both watched Simon attempt to feed Rhys, except she threw her food at him and he slipped and fell, causing us to burst out laughing.
