Chapter 28 Plan B

Chapter 28

Ty POV

Once we learned of Ghost's hideout we headed over to that location and got into positions.

We surrounded the large pearly white house surrounded with hedges. It was one of Ghosts old bases. We had been here before when i was younger. A bit before i met Seto. We had visited.

All I could feel was the nervousness running through my system, my heart was beating a thousand miles an hour and my hands were starting to sweat.

Why were we doing this again? Why couldn't we just disappear? Forget it all happened?

My eyes drifted to the side and I could see the reasons why standing along side me.

Adam, the one I originally knew as Sky, we were gonna start a life together..start a family some day. We both wanted a son named Gryffin or a little girl named Phoenix. Something beautiful and unique just like them.

Seto, my brother, though not by blood but entirely by heart. The one who stood by my side the longest. The main reason I was choosing to fight today. Not that I didnt love my partner but my brother was the reason I was breathing today.

"Are you okay?" Seto asked under his breathe shifting closer to me alongside the hedges. I nodded pressing my lips together until they were white.

"No but let's get this bullshit over with." I shut down my emotions and took a deep breathe. Now wasnt time to be sentimental and think on the past. Now was time for strategy and brutal attack.

Deadlox POV

3 Hours Earlier

I spread out a map of the complex across the dining room table. The house was big but between Seto and I we managed to get up a good memory of the inside of the building.

"Ghosts room and library are located on the east wing. We need eyes on him as soon as possible so he doesnt try to take an escape route and get out from under our feet." I exclaimed pointing to the location on the map. All eyes were on me, everyone here was expecting me to be the leader and the guide. Bring them to success.

To free them.

"This is called Plan B. B stands for Bullshit so everyone's anywhere" Seto said smirking, "Bullshit. You heard me. Bullshit like my life."

Their was a quiet murmur of a agreement and a snicker around the room.

"Focus!" I snapped, "This isn't a fourth grade classroom. We have shit to do." I composed myself and cleared my throat loudly to draw attnerion back to me. "I want Seto and Brice running point on the front doors with Lachlan and Vikk. I'm keeping couples together because I'm not stressing or having anyone breaking rank because their significant other Is at risk. Your unit is YOUR responsibility to protect."

"So were going up to the front doors?"

"You can even knock if youd like" I offered Vikk sarcastically, "But yes. It's a major entrance point into the living area and kitchen. Most likely you'll find Bodil and Simon around. Along with anyone else hes accumulated. Their social creatures."

Seto jumped in pointing to the west wing, "Nonthreatening Units sleep here. Aka the techys. We don't want any unnecessary casualties that may have information. If they dont know anything or even if they do-"

Seto reached under the table and produced a box of duct tape, all a variety of colors and patterns.

"You restrain them with as many rolls as you feel you really need. Remember best way to duct tape someone Is wrists under their knees. Or wrists to ankles. Either way make them immobile."

He rattled the box and everyone took 2 or 3 rolls, many sliding them on their arms like a bulky bracelet.

"Now as I was saying. They're going  in front, myself and Sky along with Rob and Preston will be blowing a hole in the ceiling. I want that Heli-pad non useable. If they call for air reinforcements they have nowhere to land close enough. It gives us more time.

Anywho I didnt explicitly say, I want you guys all going around back, except Sidearms. You'll be going with Seto's unit but your sole goal. Find Ghost. I know you're quiet and you'll get the job done. I dont want him dead but I want that freak an inch away from it begging for his life. Understand me?

Sidearms stone cold face slid into a wild sadistic grin.
"Yes. Sir." He said with more happiness than I'd ever seen.

I looked around at everyone. Ready. Prepared.

"Then what are we waiting for?"
