New Year's Angel (R5 Fan Fiction -Rydellington)

Not Quite the Plan

May 7th 2014

Riker

                “Okay does everyone have a sling shot, ammo, and knife?” Rocky had just given all of us our weapons as we ran over the plan one more time. Everyone nodded at him and Ryland said the plan in bullet form ensuring that we were all on the same page. With five band members working together it was not hard for something to go wrong. Oh great, why don’t I just freak myself out before the plan even starts. “Riker...Riker...RIKER!” I came back to reality to see Ellington yelling in my face. “What? Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to space out. I am just panicking as usual.” Ellington placed his hands on my shoulders. “Listen, you have spent the last 4 months staring down useless evidence begging for some real saving grace action. This is that moment! Don’t get lost in the stress of it all. Rydel needs you clear headed and ready. Now what is the plan?”

                Okay if Ellington is able to think clearly in this situation, I obviously needed to pull myself together. “You are absolutely right. I do know the plan. Ryland is going to stay and keep the car running for a clean and fast get away. Rocky and Ross and you and I will search the warehouse for Rydel. You and I will go together and Rocky and Ross will go together. Officer Nichols is around the corner in a squad car waiting for our signal. Once we find Rydel, I will hit my pager to let him know that we have here and he will come around with back up and take down the kidnappers. Did I miss anything?” No one said anything so I am assuming that means that I had gotten it all right. Alright then here goes nothing.

Ellington

                Everyone split up and suddenly we were actually doing this. Riker and I took the main doors while Rocky and Ross slipped into the back of the warehouse. The hallways were echoing so badly I swear someone was going to catch us just based on Riker’s deep breathing. “Riker, would you stop breathing like that. I can’t even hear myself think.” I whispered. I heard Riker suddenly stop breathing and he very softly whispered “Sorry, I can’t help it. My nasal passages naturally make it difficult never mind the amount of tension I am feeling from nerves and....” Riker had suddenly stopped walking mid sentence. “Did you hear that?” Over Riker’s breathing it was hard to hear much but as he clearly had heard something I held my breath to listen. “Ellington I hear voices. I think they are coming from down that hall way right there.” Riker was pointing to his left and that was when I realized there was a faint light coming from that hall way too. We started walking towards the light. We had taken about 30 steps towards the light when it happened...

Rocky

                “OH MY GOD ROSS WOULD YOU STOP BREATHING DOWN MY FREAKING NECK!” The kid was practically on top of me. He was either extremely scared or had forgotten what the term personal space meant. “Sorry, I just wanted to see over you. I don’t like being in the back.” There was always something with this kid. “Well then walk in front of me Ross! Honestly, why do you need to make everything more difficult than it needs to be?” I moved out of the way to let him pass me. That was when I had heard the voices. I grabbed Ross’s shoulder accidently freaking him out. “WHAT THE, Rocky why did you grab me?” I put my finger to my mouth telling him to shut up and pointed down the hall to my right. His face slowly lit up as he heard the voices too. “Oh, let’s check it out.” Heading down the hallway, I could hear Ross’s breathing getting louder. I was positive he was going to have a panic attack when he suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs!

Ross

“AHHHH!” We had only gone a few paces towards the voices when I was suddenly being tackled by a dark figure that had begun yelling at me. “I’ve got you he-devil! Tell me where you are keeping her!” Did I just get called a He-Devil? What the hell is that? There was only one person who could come with something as lame as that for an insult. “Riker you idiot, it’s Ross. LET GO OF ME!” The tackling suddenly stopped and I was swept into a giant hug. “ROSS! Oh thank god I had no idea what I was going to do if you had actually been a bad guy.” Rocky started dying of laughter behind me. “No kidding! I’ve got you He=Devil?  Oh my god Riker you have to be the most adorable 6 foot 22 year old guy on the planet.” We all stared at Rocky as he wiped tears of laughter out of his eyes. Ellington had startled giggling, making me laugh as well. “Shut up guys, it was a tense moment. I just said the first thing that popped into my head.” Riker had folded his arms over his chest and was about to continue arguing when a deep rather angry voice came from somewhere behind Ellington. “You know, for a secret rescue mission, you guys are absolutely horrible at being secretive. We all turned towards Ellington and...
