CHAPTER 1
I was laying on the couch scrolling through the T.V. channels when the doorbell rang. I rolled off the couch and walked over to the door, I peeked out the window next to the door, two men dressed in military uniforms where standing at the door, I opened the door all the way.
"Hello, are you Miss. Finley?"
"Yes."
One of the men handed me a white letter with my name scribbled on the top. I looked at the two men as they watched me open the letter, I scanned over it. I felt a lump in my throat start to form as I continued to read it, by the time I finished reading the letter tears were streaming down my face. My brother was dead. My older brother, the only family I had left. I heard footsteps on the porch, I looked up but couldn't see anything due to me crying so much.
"Baby, what's wrong?" I felt my boyfriend, Cade, put his arms around me and pull me into his chest.
"We are sorry for your loss ma'am and if there is anything we can do for you, all you have to do is ask."
Cade held me all throughout the rest of the day and night as I cried. As we laid in our bed, my head was on his chest as he combed his fingers through my hair, Cade asked me what happened.
"My older brother is dead."
I couldn't bear to say more as fresh tears streamed down my face.
Lennox's Pov
I felt nothing but guilt, George had died while under my orders. I stood in front of Georges casket as the priest said the prays and preached. I couldn't help but look at Georges little sister, Cecilia, she was young and gorgeous, she was short with long chestnut brown hair that fell in little ringlets down past the middle of her back, she had emerald green eyes that seem to shine even brighter due to the unshed tears, but the man who had his arm around her waist was different, he had pitch black hair that was spiked up and dark sunglasses on so I couldn't see his eyes. I was pulled out of my observing when Ironhide's Holoform grabbed my shoulder and leaned forward to whisper in my ear.
"The man who is holding Miss. Finley is Barricade's Holoform."
