Hope In Their Eyes: book 2

Chapter 14: Getting Warmer

"We will need to search the whole perimeter, including the woods. We all have to be very cautious, this man has as many followers to be an army." I reminded. " We all have Walkie talkies to contact immediately if were ambushed or the victim is found," Issac reassured. "No harm can come to the victim, be very careful, does everyone understand?" I asked, seriously.
Sam's lethal army stood before him in complete confidence. "Yes, sir!" They saluted Sam. Then his men started to head off into their positions that they had been given.                                                           While some stayed behind with Sam and Isaac, these men the most experienced and top class. But even with this Sam made sure that every position and squad had very experienced soldiers as well. This was a fight to the death and a fight to protect a citizen and also a lover as well. After his soldiers left to their positions then Sky's loyal friends approached. "What do you need us to do?" Josh asked.                                                                                                                                                             I gave them a curious look."Your sister trained us while you were recovering," he stated. I turned to my young sister raising my eyebrows. "They needed to learn to protect themselves if they were gonna be in this," Crystal added. I sighed in frustration. "Of-course you did." I looked over to them and said," Nothing just stay out of the way," I commanded. "Your joking right? No, I refuse too, we didn't train a month and a Lahr to sit on our asses," Josh said.                                                                                                                                                                        "You're defying a commander?" I questioned. "I'm well aware of that." Josh stood his ground. I clenched my fist in anger, nobody defies me. "You know I could have you slain for that?" I said, flatly. Josh just stared at me not backing down. "But you won't, and I have every right to help rescue my Best friend, all of us do," he demanded.                                                                                       I gave them a hard glare and turned to walk away but Josh gripped my wrist and I fought the urge to hit him. I gritted my teeth annoyed. "Your her friends and I will not risk any of you getting hurt and her coming home feeling guilty," I snapped.
"I refuse too, we came to help not too sit on our asses and sing kumbaya by a campfire," he refused. I groaned aggravated by his stubbornness.                                                                                                                Josh showed a gleam in his eyes and released my arm. " Fine then, yeah well just sit here and wait till someone comes and kills us and buries us alive, however, we don't even have weapons," Josh said.
                      I gave him an intensive disapproving look. " I know what your doing," I said. Josh gave a questioning look. "What am I doing? Besides sitting like a goose ready to be gobbled up," Josh said. I hated them for this, they were wasting our time to find her and it was pushing me off. "Get some armor and guns, but just realize that your life is at stake, don't get decapitated," I stated, bluntly.
                  A gleam appeared in my eyes and I smirked as I saw their fear flash in their eyes. We all cautiously approached the woods ready for anything. Now as we all grew very serious and they were even more because of what I said. "Stay together and don't die." I reminded. I heard someone gulp behind me. "Wow that's reassuring," Josh said.
                       I smirked with an amusing smile. "Cut it out Sam, their gonna pee their pants," Crystal called out. Crystal looked a bit frightened as well though and was nervous. Zack caught up to her and said," I didn't think you'd be frightened of all people, you always act tough but I guess you being young explains it." She gave him a sharp glare but answered," I may be young and all but that's  not because I'm frightened, I have a whole life ahead to get back too."  Zack gave her a worried look and caressed her back a bit trying to relax her.
              Crystal stopped in her tracks and grew serious. "Don't pity me and worry, I  can take care of myself," She said sternly. Zack gave her a worried look again. "It's okay to be afraid your still a teen, if it makes you feel any better I'll protect you," Zack reassured. Zack saw crystal relax some and her eyes flashed a safe feeling but soon disappeared quickly.

            "Don't be ridiculous, I can take care of myself, I don't need you," She snapped. Then she walked away quickly and I saw Zack smiling and shaking his head. I walked up beside him and said," she's very stubborn and has trouble trusting others but it's who she is and you gotta like it." Zack gave me a curious look," I thought you hated me?" I let out a small breath not wanting to explain but I knew it was the right thing to do.  "It's not that I hate you, I'm just overprotective of those I love and I wanna keep them safe."                                                                                                                       His jaw dropped and he gave me a shocked expression. "Don't look so surprised, that may sound cheesy, but it's the truth." He nodded his head some starting to understand because of what he told Crystal. "Plus, I realized being without her has changed me into more of a bad person than I usually am toward people and so I know Sky wouldn't want me to let her being gone... change who I am." Zack stood and looked at me and gave me a friendly, brotherly smile.              " I totally understand my man, I would feel the exact same way if it was my girl and she was taken from me," he said. He clapped my shoulders in a way of friendly comfort. "But we're getting her back man, she will be in your arms very soon, I know it." I nodded. "Then you can both eat each other faces off as you please," he teased. I shot him a death glare because I knew he was trying to lighten the mood some.                                                                                                                              Then once again the mood was shattered as everyone had gone into alert as walkie-talkie came in static, this was it. It's time to get Sky back and my baby. "Boss we found a huge mansion, and there are over a hundred men guarding the premises sir," he whispered. I grunted feeling impatient and frustrated with everything slowing me from getting to her. "Do you see any easy entrances?" I questioned.                                                                                                                                                   "Negative sir, every entrance is heavily guarded. The guy was smart and I'll give him that but I hated his guts. Desperate to see her, my frustration increased and turned into anger. "Damn it," I said aloud. I took a moment to calm down a bit. "Okay here is the plan," I explained it thoroughly. "Yes sir, understood." Then I asked,"What's your coordinate's soldier?"                                           The other soldiers nodded in understanding. "88240450, Fm 3-25 -26," he answered in code. "Thank you, you've done well soldiers, see you soon." They all thanked me respectfully and the walkie-talkie disconnected and we headed our way.

              Soon enough we had reached our destination and repeated the plan to make sure everyone got it. We had come up with a brilliant plan to surprise attack them and it was bound to be successful. We were so close to getting her back and I was determined to succeed and finally getting my child back after these terrible five months alone. I couldn't wait to hold them in my arms and finally be the man I have chosen to be and always wanted to be. I'm coming for you my love and I am willing to sacrifice everything to get to you and our child. It was time to give back the pain the enemies caused me for months.
