Chapter 7
Confrontation
Watching a historical landmark isn't easy for anyone, but just watching go down was just was really hard for me. I tightened my grip on Snake Eyes and buried my head in his shoulder, I didn't want to see the final results of the nanomites.
Snake Eyes kept movering through the city, with the tower now gone we would most likely meet back with the rest of the team. As we rode through the city I couldn't help but think that I get to see what most normal people only dream of seeing. Normal people. The last time I was normal I was 5.
I found myself sqeezing my eyes shut. I don't want to go back to that memory.
I open my eyes and see that we are in an alley, wait why exactly are we in an alley?
Snake Eyes shuts off the bike, and we both get off. I give him an odd look and am about to walk out of the alley way when he pulls me by the arm leading me back.
"What the hell?"
He points the scene in front of us. The team is being arrested. Well that was unexpected, and- oh crap Ripcord just took a beating to the head.
I turn to Snake Eyes to his take on it but he is typing in a message into a pad on his arm. He looks up at me, and motions for me to run.
So I give a hefty sigh and say "fine."
And we start running I really don't think about where exactly we are running to till about 15 minutes into the run. So I speed up in front of him and stop.
Why did you stop?
"Well, my ninja friend where exactly are we running to?"
He stops for a moment to think. Well i just out smarted the ninja. I should feel very proud of myself. I roll my eyes.
We just need to get back to base.
"Lucky for you my friend, I know a guy. And he happens to be close by."
Alright, but why do you always roll your eyes?
And that's when I felt my eyes get wide, the nerve in this guy.
"that is none of your concern"
Before I gave him a chance to sign something back I started running to my ride out of here. Raymond.
When we finally get to his complex, I don't bother hitting the buzzer for him to let us in. lucky for me-us someone walks out of the building and is that scared of our appearance she just holds the door open. So I smile sweetly say thank you, and lead the way inside.
We have to walk up at least six flight of stairs when we finally get close to his door. When we finally reach it I smile to myself.
I get a tap on the shoulder, accompanied by a should we knock?
A just give him a smile, and kick the door down. "Honey! I'm home!"
Its then that I see Raymond come out of the kitchen area holding a baseball bat.
"Really Ray? "
"S-s-sorry, b-b-but you k-k-now h-how I a-am."
I give a warm genuine smile to him and walk over and give him a big hug.
"mon chéri, vous me manquez"
He pulled me away and said " I missed you too Chase."
I smiled at him, "So Ray this is my new ninja friend his name is Snake Eyes- he doesn't talk."
"i-i-it's n-n-nice t-to m-m-meet you" Snake Eyes just gives a strict nod, and turns his head to me.
I point to my eyes and I roll them. I can see a slight movement of his chest. Did he just laugh?
"Alright Ray, my bestest friend. My Allie, my trusted advisoary-"
"W-what do y-you w-want?"
"I would like to um, if its possible. Borrow one of your jets."
He just looked at me for a long time, and he walked away. Dammit Ray.
And that when he tossed me the keys. I gave him one last tight hug. "thanks Ray I owe you"
He just nodded "g-go"
I gave him one last smile and walked out. I was walking down the stairs when we reached the 3rd floor and Snake Eyes stopped me.
"what?"
Ray doesn't seem like the type of person you hang out with
I scoffed at him " for your information Ray is a VERY good friend. But your right, and I met him a few years back on one of my jobs. He was one of the few that I saved and didn't kill. So if we could just leave it at that, then we need to be on our way. We have an alpha team that we need to bail out of jail."
And with that we made our way to the jet, Snake Eyes decided to take the wheel on this one. It has been a while since I flew a jet and I wasn't really excited to fly one again. So I sat in the back passenger seat, and tried not to puke.
When we finally got to the base, it took a whole lot of convincing on my part for them not to shoot us down. But Hawk finally got on the line and let us land.
And next thing you know I'm on another freakin' plane back on my way to Paris. This is way to much flying for me in one day.
I close my eyes and try oh so very hard not to get sick right in the middle of the plane. I can see the ninja looking at me, but I'm to sick to really say anything to him.
When we finally land, and it feels like forever, but we get out and make our way to where they are holding the rest of the Joes.
We walk into dark corridor where we finally see them in a lifesize cage. Oh that would not go well with me. Snake Eyes and I decide to stay silent in the backround while Hawk tell them that they are free to go if they never come back ever. Poor Breaker, he must be hating this the most, considering he is the one freaking out the most.
And that's when Ripcord removes the ice from his head and says "what about Duke?"
Duke, I had forgotten that he wasn't here. I just thought he was off in the corner somewhere. What is the general going to say about Duke?
And that's when I'm surprised that Hawk says nothing. Whatever happened to the whole army slogan 'never leave a man behind'?
We make our way outside and I take my "place" next to Snake Eyes. Why do I feel like this is where I am always going to be?
Ripcord decided to ask one final time "what about Duke?"
That's when the General finally says " I said you where ordered back to base, but I didn't say when or what route to take." See now that's the hawk I like.
I look at Red and the smile she has on her face when she replies "maybe a notheren one."
I give a slight smile, not only at what just happened but at the fact that someone better give me a freakin' warm jacket. I am NOT freezing my ass off.
