HAYES
(SECRETS)
"Sir, that that came from the sky has just hit the north of Europe, in Norway and sir, it is, it is an Invid ship"
"What?" I could not articulate another word, an invid ship, it was supposed that, they were banished, the regent left the earth and went to her planet to that strange hive where she kept us there on a whim to not want to experience loneliness , it was assumed that, when leaving the earth, he would never return, or perhaps, he had been planning this, his revenge? Against the entire human race, he sensed that we were trying to return home and now that we were here he would launch his final attack against all the races that in his view hurt him, the Zentraedi or Tiroleans for feeling abandoned after Zord left her. alone after taking her to madness by falling in love with her, the praxians for not surrendering to her, the Sentinels and all of us for ending their army, especially the humans who convinced their daughter, Ariel to fall in love with another human and that would be enough to banish her, God, what now? "I'm going, I'm going there" I took my phone, the keys to my car and walked to the room where Lisa was resting but before opening the door she appeared quite distraught
"An Invid ship, right?" He listened with fear, in his voice, I just nodded.
"I must go to the base," I said almost in a whisper, I knew that, even though she supported my return, I was not entirely convinced I wanted a quieter life so she agreed to be the diplomatic representative of the base on behalf of the UEG.
"I know, Admiral, I'm going with you" taking his things we left the house in a hurry and from there to the base that was chaos. "I'll see you later I'll call the leaders" a kiss and I said goodbye to my wife, in the huge hall an officer came to me handing me a report from Reggie that was the only person who was close to that ship just hitting.
"Lisa! They are waiting for you, say something "I glanced at my wife who was oblivious to what was happening, until Miriya took her by the shoulders to make her react, but before I articulated a word I approached the intercom
"Sorry sir, we must review the plan, we will be in contact, outside" and I closed communication, I turned to see Lisa who seemed to already be on earth looking at me and Miriya and the others who were present in the room "What the hell happened to you? Lisa, you're not like that, you're always firm in what you do but now, now it seemed that something took you away from us, you almost put the recognition plan in jeopardy, Hayes replies! "Many years ago he did not raise his voice and least to reprimand her for something
"I, I do not know, the maneuvers that Cheryl was doing, her words distracted me is everything" began
"I did not do anything," Cheryl began, "If he was talking, but not with you, that reflects that he can not concentrate well, his mistake is not my problem" he shouted in frustration
"Of course if I" - hit hard on the command console so that both closed their mouths and paid attention
"I do not care about your problems, personal, academic, or whatever, or they fix this or both are left out" shout
"You can not do that I can not" I stopped Lisa before she continued talking
"I can't? Are you sure? I am the commander in chief of the armed forces, you gave me command of the fleet long ago Hayes, my position here is the highest one and you stayed as diplomatic representative so do not come and tell me that I do not have that authority, you (point to Cheryl) you will be suspended from being a squad leader and you (look at Lisa) will be relieved of your position, will be occupied by Miriya Parino, and it would be better for both of you to fix this before they kill each other or kill us us in your dispute, is that clear? "My heart was pounding.
"Yes sir, It's clear" Cheryl saluted and left the communications room, now waiting for Lisa.
"Yes, sir" again that dispute of an eye for an eye had returned between us, but it was enough now it was her turn to comply with the orders, "with permission" and left the room also leaving me with Miriya.
I left the office frustrated, angry, hurt and at the same time embarrassed, it had been a long time since I had this kind of discussions with Rick, and unless he spoke to me in that way, but he was right is the commander in chief, and the Admiral, and I, of my own free will, had decided to derogate and remain as a representative in diplomatic relations, I could guide him, but not make decisions, and even less to oppose his orders. I was walking down the corridor that led to the rest rooms. On my way, I ran into an officer. and I asked for Cheryl but she could not tell me where I could find her, I kept walking, but I preferred to leave the base and return home, to clear my mind and settle things with her, suspending her from her position should not have been easy for Cheryl , I knew how the pilots react, I sighed, and before I could react I felt the cold metal on my neck, it was a weapon I was sure of that, I had felt it before, my heart was pounding, someone who I would hurt myself or Rick through me, but my surprise was another.
"I think we should talk, Lisa Hayes, or should I say aunt" was cheryl, turn slowly to see her still pointing the gun at my face "no, do not worry about the surveillance cameras, this is a dead end, nobody go, now if you do not mind, we will take a walk, get in your car that I will show you the way, or better not "and I felt a blow, then closed my eyes with the penetrating look of Cheryl.
I was sitting inside an interrogation room, but I do not know if at the base or elsewhere, but there was still Cheryl who was staring at me, the words aunt that I had spoken before were echoing in my head, I wanted to ask, to say something, but I preferred to keep quiet and let it be she who started everything and clarified my doubts.
"You will know the surprise that it will take me when I learned the nature of me, the knowledge that I am the daughter, of the unrecognized son, or beloved of Admiral Hayes" said Cheryl
"Brother? No, my mother, I "tried to understand those words together.
"Ah no dear" - he approached me with the gun still in his hands "When your mom died, your dad took refuge in alcohol and went to a pilots' bar where he met Priscila Addans, with whom he started a torrid romance, an idyll for you to understand me, and from that relationship my father was born, obviously the new Admiral Hayes should not have a child out of wedlock so, he offered Priscilla a lot of money to get rid of the problem "- she looked at me suspiciously
"That is impossible, if something I hated my father was that, the abortion, hurting others just for" - I close my mouth with a slap.
"Shut up Stupid !, certainly not hurting anyone just for their interests, I remember the Grand Canyon, kill thousands of soldiers just for his arrogance, I'm finally leaving the subject, so, imagine the surprise from my father when that bastard told him that, he only had one daughter and his name was Lisa Hayes? And he whipped the door in his face, but not before threatening him that if he saw him again at the base, he would send him to prison,
"I was not to blame for everything that happened, I did not even know that" - again another slap to shut me up "I still have a higher rank than you!" – I shout it
"No, the one who has that rank is Admiral Hunter, her husband, and although he is not Admiral, for the simple fact of being General Brigadier, the Commander in Chief of the armed forces owes him respect, not you, you are a diplomatic representative without military rank, which makes him appear that if you have him, it is something else "- approaching me, with that cold and penetrating gaze continued" Send me to court martial if you want, you should only explain to your husband the Why? And remember this, I do not obey you, I do not answer you, I answer Admiral Hunter, my commander in chief, and only if he asks me as an order, I will obey you, and do not worry it's at the base even in a warehouse, you can leave when you want, it's over, convince your husband to reinstall me, or the mask of the perfect man, your daddy will fall and you along with him, goodbye aunt " I heard her let out a laugh as she left that place.
I returned to the base between slowly to Rick's office to wait for him and talk to him, I would try to get Cheryl back to her job, I was not to blame for what had happened to her father, my half brother, or what I had made my father, but those words were crashing, his image of the perfect man, fell before me, and besides all that, there was something else inside me, that kept me more upset, nervous and very afraid, of failing me, of failing the earth, of failing Rick again.
Are you ok? I think everything was solved, cuz Cheryl, told me that you apologized with her, and she to you, so I'll consider reinstalling her, and "- she saw my lost look" I think you can not be with you, you know, we better see you later I still have to check some things for contact with that thing that fell from the sky, I leave you with your thoughts "said Rick and when he heard the door opening, it was when he reacted
"I'm pregnant" was what came out of my mouth, I wanted to tell you about Cheryl's revelation, about my father's secret life but the only thing that came out of my lips was precisely what I did not want, it was what kept me scared , fear of failing Rick again, losing another baby or dying with him.
Author's Notes:
1. Sorry in the previous chapters this GDTU I forgot to translate (UEG: United Earth Government)
2. My first idea was to be the half sister of Lisa Hayes, but the relationship between the timpa between one and another would not be, so I managed it as the niece of the unwanted child. And finally
3. Thank you all for taking the time to read each story on this platform.
