You're Beautiful. (A James Conrad Love Story)

Chapter 2

I was happy and a bit excited too because two months later I am going to see my family again in India.

I marched towards the big ship called Athena pushing through the crowd. I thought I was the only woman but later I spotted a blonde haired woman with a camera. I walked towards her.

"Mason Weaver. ." The man at the entrance of the ship said.

"Yes?" The woman replied.

"Is a woman! ?!?!" He finished.

"Is there a problem? " I said standing beside Mason.

"Commando Aalia Rustom." I said and extend my hand.

"Colonel Packard. M'am. Welcome aboard." He said and let us in.

"Hi I am Mason Weaver." She introduced.

"Commando Aalia Rustom in short Amber." I said and shook our hands.

"Where are you from?" She asked.

"India,  if I am not wrong." A British voice said. We turned around and saw James.

"Right." I said. They introduced each other. Ignoring me. So I left them and walked towards my room. I entered, drop my bag on the bed and relaxed for a while.

Then I exited the room and went on the dock. I see mostly soliders playing and cheering. I stood quietly at the railing observing the beautiful sea.

"Commando Aalia Rustom?" A man said I turn around and saw a man in solider uniform.

"Yes." I said. He extended his hand,

"Major Jack Chapman. Nice to meet you m'am." He said amd we shook hands.

"Nice to meet you too sir." I said.

"The meeting will start soon, I am here to escort you there." He said.

"So what are we waiting for. Lets go." I said and walked towards the meeting room.

In the meeting room I sat in a chair with my hands crossed. Then Houston came and started explaining.  They were dropping bombs to shake the island. 

"You're dropping bombs? " a British voice said,  turn our heads to see Captain James leaning on the steel wall of the ship.

"Scientific instruments." Houston said. Then a solider sitting behind joked on it.

After meeting we had our lunch and now the night had showed up.  I was standing near the railing and thinking about the island. They said they need me to protect them. What is out on that island?  What are they hiding? I thought to myself.

"I need answers." I said to myself and went in the restricted part of the ship where they keep their ammo and informative files. I quietly opened the door and enterd. I closed the door behind me. I lit my lighter and roamed around the room but I only found the crates of explosives and some files but there were nothing about the island.  I sighed and turn to leave. Suddenly I hear whispers of two people.  I immediately put my lighter out and ran towards the door, I put my one foot on the crate pushed my body up and grabbed the pipe on the cealing.  I backflipped and climbed up and stick my back to the cealing. I gripped the pipe firmly and my feet on the other pipe on the cealing.  I watched as two people enters the room and turned on the lights reveling their faces. It was Mason and James. They too started searching all the crates and boxes of files. I watched them as they didn't noticed me. Suddenly a solider brust in.

"What the hell are you two doing here? " he asked. They both kept silent searching for words. I sighed seeing their silliness.  I removed my knife from behind my belt and jumped behind the solider making not a single sound.  I put my knife on his throat from behind him.

"Shhhh, if you care yourself for not being killed then walk away from here and don't tell anyone what happened here. Understood. " I said. He nodded in fear. I turn him around to face the door and pushed him out. I then closed the door and turn around only to see their shocked faces.

"What?" I asked putting my knife back in its holder.

"How did you get in we didn't see you come in? " James asked.

"I was here before you and before you come in I hid up on the cealing." I said. James surprisingly looked up at the cealing then at me.

"Did you find anything?" Mason asked.

"No. I think the papers of island are with Houston or with other scientists. Now I am going back to my room. Good night guys." I said amd waved them amd exited the room.

"Hey wait, I am coming too." I hear Mason say. Soon they both joined me, we were walking down the passage.

"Well you did was really impressive. I don't know about James but you impressed me." She said.

"Yes you impressed me preety nice too." He said immediately.

"Okay guys I am going to sleep. This is my room. Good night." She said and waved us. I waved her back and smiled.

Now I and James were walking alone. I sensed disappointment in him.

"Are you okay, Cap?" I asked.

"Don't call me that I am not a Captain anymore." He said rather rudely.

"Woha, woha, woha, hey, hey, hey why suddenly so rudeness?" I asked stepped in front of him stopping him.

"Last night we played together, we won together and we fought together. Now why so rudeness?" I asked.

"Because you lied to me. " he said in anger. I knew what he was talking about.

"I didn't lie, I hid my identity, just like you did. You didn't tell me that you are a Captain." I said.

"But I told you my real name." He said. I kept my index finger on my chain and made a thinking look.

"Hmmm tell me how will people react knowing the person is dead and yet that person is still alive?  Obviously they gonna freak out and think it is none other than a ghost.  I don't want people to run away from me. We are trained for them not to harm or scare them. I believe in equality." I finished and looked at my watch,  it was real late. I looked up at him. He was about to speak but I didn't gave him the chance to.

"Go get some rest its real late at night. Good night." I said and left him alone in the passage.

I went straight to my room, got fresh and slept, basically I tried but the nightmares don't stop. So I simply lie on my bed and stare up at the sky from the window.
