The Facility

Chapter Nine

Getting out of a hostile country is hard, it's especially harder when their leader and his wife were just assassinated.

Luckily though we got out with only a couple guys lost and Jordan's wounds, his brother Israel checked on him frequently.

"So what is it like growing up with a brother?" I asked Jordan after Israel went back to check on our progress getting away in this busted down truck.

"It was fine I guess, we grew up around here and while we didn't have much, as long as we had our family we had everything we needed" Jordan said.

"You love your brother?" I asked.

"Of course I do, why do you ask?" he said getting suspicious.

"I have siblings and I can't relate to them or feel anything for them, for my parents either and I've tried" I said.

"Bonds are formed over time, once you get to know them and they get to know you, it will come. Tell me though if you don't feel anything for them, then why did you do what you did to save them?" he asked.

"Because I don't like being responsible for people's deaths anymore, they didn't choose to be blood related to me and I couldn't let them die for it" I said.

We finally made it to the plane to get out of there, the whole world was abuzz with the news of the assassination of the tyrannical leader and his wife.

"Is this all you wanted me for?" I asked.

"This wasn't some small thing Callie, we took out a man who attacked his own people and wouldn't give up his power, there is many more jobs for you to do and many more leaders who need to be dealt with" Israel said.

"And if I say no?" I asked.

"Then we'll just have to pay your whole family another visit" Israel said looking me in the eye.

"He didn't mean that" Jordan said pushing Israel towards the cockpit.

I could hear them talking and I guess they thought I didn't speak the language because I could hear Jordan tell Israel not to threaten me or I'd kill all of them, then Israel said I'd like to see her try and questioned his manhood and his commitment to their cause.

"What cause is that?" I asked.

"You speak Arabic?" Israel said agitated.

"Of course I speak the language, you know I spent most of my time here what did you think I just played the stupid American the whole time, I've been trained in many other languages as well" I said.

"Don't you want to eradticate the world of leader's who won't give up their power?" Israel said.

"Not by threats" I said.

He looked like I had been the first to take a stand against him, who knows maybe I am.

"Very well, then why not a shared desired to take down these tyrants" Israel said.

"I'll think about it" I said as we finally landed.

When we reached a private hanger a bunch of SUV's came charging up, Daniel jumped out of one of the first ones.

"Callie are you ok?" Daniel said as his agents held guns on the others.

"Yes I'm fine" I said.

"They had you take out Ashir?" Daniel said.

"Yes" I said.

"Did you also take out his wife Amina?" he asked.

"Yes even though she wasn't an intended target" I said.
