Ch.1 Back On the Job
She glanced at the clock, one hour until her shift ended. It had been a long shift and she was ready to go home, and take a long bath.
"Mitchell, you got a call." The nurse behind the desk told her after answering the phone.
"Thanks." Dana said taking the phone. "Mitchell." She answered.
"Dana?"
"Dad, hi something wrong?" she asked, her father never called worked unless it was important.
"No, I was wondering if you could come by the base sometime today?" he asked, using the serious tone he used whenever he meant business.
"My shift ends in an hour, I'll go by after, does that sound good?" she asked. So much for a relaxing bath she thought.
"That sounds great I'll see you here." He told her hanging up the phone. The hour ticked by since things had gotten slow, but when she ended her shift Dana headed to the Aquabase. She was dying to know what exactly her father wanted to talk to her about. She was walking through the familiar halls, even though the base had been rebuilt it had been rebuilt too look the same as the old one. She turned a corner and ran straight into her best friend.
"Oh sorry!...What are you doing here?" Dana asked Carter. The rangers rarely came by the base anymore.
"Captain said he needed to see me. Do you know what it's about?" Carter asked.
"No clue. Where is he?" Dana asked.
"Conference room is what they told me." Carter informed. She nodded and they headed that way.
"It feels just like old times." Carter said as they walked on.
"Yeah but without the whole demon thing to worry about." Dana said, Carter chuckled.
"Yeah without the demons." He repeated.
"Well well Mr. and Mrs. Perfection late!" Joel teased as they came into the room.
"Very funny." Dana said making a face at Joel.
"Sir." Carter said and then he and Dana saluted.
"At ease, take a seat." He instructed. Dana took her usual seat and Carter took his, it was funny how even though they weren't rangers anymore they still maintained some of their old habits.
"So you're all wondering why I called you here today." Captain Mitchell began taking a seat at the head of the table.
"I received a call this morning from a nearby military base, and they have asked me to assemble a team. Three months ago they sent in four undercover agents to an island off the coast of Florida and Cuba. Two agents have been compromised. One was killed and the other has been in hiding. The other two agents have been helping the other agent stay hidden. They have asked Lightspeed to extract the compromised agent. This is her file." He handed them each a black portfolio. Dana opened hers and found a pretty burnet staring back at her. According to her file it said that she was 20 year old Stacy Verne.
"Capatin what exactly do you want us to do?" Carter asked as he looked through the portfolio. He was always the one who went straight to the point when it came to business.
"I want you to get her out." Captain Mitchell answered simply.
"So why Lightspeed, why not a regular military group?" Dana asked knowing there was a reason that they were being requested.
"The island is privately owned so for obvious reasons the military can't just send anyone in there to pick one of our agents. Lightspeed has the technology and the skills to get in and out undetected." Captain Mitchell explained, as he brought up a map on the main screen.
"So you want us to go into enemy territory and hope they don't see us. Just another day at work." Joel said sarcastically.
"And you'll have to travel through miles of thick jungle." The captain informed. Carter chuckled at Joel's expression.
"Mrs. Rawlings I need a scientist, and technology expert." Captain Mitchell addressing Angela.
"You know you can count on me sir." Angela said speaking for the first time.
"Good. Joel I need a set of wings to get in and out of that island safely and efficiently, what do you say?" Captain Mitchell said. He always had a way of making Joel see things his way.
"I'm in." Joel answered. He was always willing to help even if he always pretended he didn't.
"Great. Carter I need a rescue team, Dana I need a medic on that rescue team, are you in?" he asked them.
"Count on me sir." Carter said.
"Me too." Dana answered. Captain Mitchell then went over what they would need to do and all the details about the mission.
"Joel you will leave Dana and Carter on the far end of the island. Then you two will travel through the jungle to the place where Agent Verne is hiding, the island's guards will be monitoring the island. Our advantage is that because of the thick jungle they have to patrol the island on foot or vehicle, so no cameras to give you away. Joel you will pick them up in the same place where they were dropped off. Mrs. Rawlings will be monitoring you for as long as she can. We have one chance to get this right, you leave in three days." Captain Mitchell told them.
"Wont there radars pick up our bird?" Joel asked reffering to his helicopter.
"I've been working on some new technology that will keep your helicopter from being detected." Angela said earning a surprised look from Joel.
"Joel, you still have to make sure that you aren't detected and keep Dana and Carter from being seen as they enter the island." Captain Mitchell told him in a serious tone. "We will be training for the next three days." He added. They went over more details about the mission before heading home to get there things ready. When Dana went back to the base and settled into her old room, she was comforted to know that it was one of the only places that had survived the attack. She set her alarm and slept soundly after a long day.
