The com activated in Flint's quarters with a loud crackling sound, startling him from a deep and troubled sleep. "Flint, I need you in the briefing room ASAP!" Hawk voice boomed throughout the darkened room.
Flint groggily got out of bed. "This had better be good to get me up at." He groused, spying the clock on the nightstand beside the table. "0130 in the bloody morning." He sighed his irritation as he reached for his BDUs. "Maybe he's got news on Jaye," he wondered. Jaye had been swept away a week earlier without warning by the top brass. She hadn't called and no one would tell him anything. What the hell was so important that he couldn't even talk to her? He pulled on his black t-shirt and pants then his boots. He walked over to the mirror in his bedroom that contained many pictures of Jaye and him or of just her and quickly ran a comb through his hair before putting on his trademark beret and headed out the door.
Duke and Beach Head were standing with their arms folded outside the closed, and apparently locked, briefing room when Flint walked up.
"What's going on, guys?" Flint asked as he approached them.
"You know about as much as we do, Flint," Duke replied.
Beach Head walked closer to the both of them. "Hawk sent the guards on the runway away this morning. A couple of planes landed there, but that's all I've heard."
Just then the door to the briefing room opened and Hawk walked out. "Come in." The three senior Joes entered the darkened room and took their seats. They were unable to see anything behind Hawk. Hawk took his place up on the stage, as General Flaggstaff walked out and joined him. Hawk began to address the three men in front of him. "We have a problem," Hawk stated.
"This can't be good. Last time he said that to just the three of us we ended up in the infirmary for 2 weeks." Duke whispered out the side of his mouth.
"Yeah." Came the reply from both Beach Head and Flint.
"Our informant within Cobra has been found out and we have lost contact with him," Hawk looked over at the men, "It is of the utmost importance that we retrieve him."
"Who is the informant sir?" Flint asked.
"I will take it from here, Hawk." General Flaggstaff said and took Hawk's place. "I need to start from the beginning so you will understand because our informant is Destro." He held up a quieting hand to the three Joes in front of him and took a deep breath before continuing. "Many years ago before Cobra became as big a threat as it is now Destro was approached by Cobra Commander asking for him to become his arms supplier. Destro refused. About six months later his castle was invaded. Zartan killed his wife under the orders of Cobra Commander and nearly killed his daughter. The three senior Joes in the audience exchanged looks. He was supposed to make it look like GI Joe did it. Destro knew that wasn't true because his wife was Hawk's sister, Annabell. Destro made it so it appeared that his teenaged daughter died as well. He wanted to know for sure who killed his wife so he went to British Intelligence and to Hawk to tell them that he was going to join Cobra to find out who the killer was and make him pay as well as Cobra Commander. He's known the answer for awhile now, but has remained silent to protect the identity of his daughter, who upon finishing college joined the U.S Army, so Hawk could keep an eye on her and keep her safe." He motioned for a figure at the back of the large darkened room to come forward. " The figure walked around the side of the large auditorium and walked up onto the stage wearing what appeared to be a dressed up version of an Iron Grenadiers uniform as well as a decorated cloak. She had a thin gold and jeweled band on her forehead that glittered in the faint light. He gave her a new identity and a fresh start. She is now a member of the Joes." She slowly raised her head in a regal fashion as the general concluded his story. "May I introduce Lady Annalisa Moria McCellan"
A very shocked Flint whispered, "Lady Jaye?"
