Chapter 9: Sydney (Part 2)
Jackson's POV
I see Heather outside of my house, I open the door for her to come in.
"What's going on?" I asked facing her as I close the door.
"Sydney is alive." She blurts out sitting down on my couch.
"Heather, we just came back from her funeral like an hour ago." I'm not understanding this.
"Jackson, there's a tape in there with a guy hitting Sydney in the head." She opens the envelope and takes out some pictures and a tape.
"What the hell is this shit?" I asked picking the pictures up.
"Pictures of the three of us from our army days. Someone was a spy over there." Heather spits.
"Is this Jaron?" I look at the picture closely.
"Fuck yeah that's him. This was two days ago!" She yells in anger.
"So Sydney was taken two days ago or did the kidnapper just wanted us to think that?" I place the pictures back onto my table.
"I think they wanted us to think that. We haven't seen Sydney ever since I came back home. We need to find her Jack." Heather says.
"I know, but we're going to need help." I pull out my phone and dial a number.
"Who?" She looks over at me crossing her arms.
"Sadie." I know Heather is going to freak out.
"Hell no! Jaron's cousin?!" She yells at me in anger.
"Sadie doesn't even like Jaron." I tried to reason with her.
"Who does?" She rolls her eyes.
"Heath, come on." I put it on speaker.
"Fine." She groans.
"What is it Jackson?" Sadie asks.
"Come over. I have a problem." I tell her.
"I'll be over in 5." She hangs up.
"Nice way for her to answer the phone." Heather says looking at me with a raised brow.
"She's always been like that." I chuckle shrugging, I hear a knock on my door, I go over to open it and Sadie is standing there.
"Hey Jackson." She greets me taking off her glasses.
"Hey." I step aside to let her in.
"Heather." Sadie says with no emotion.
"Sadie." Heather just crosses her arms staring at the blonde.
"So…" I say awkwardly.
"What's going on?" Sadie sets her bag down by the couch.
"You're cousin has Sydney, or we think he does." Heather blurts out.
"Are you kidding me?" Sadie asked scoffing at Heather's comment. I know this is about to get ugly, so I go over and pull out to Whiskey, because we're going to need it.
"No." Heather hands Sadie the pictures, Sadie takes and looks at them.
"Shit, this was two days ago." She looks says not looking up from the pictures.
"Yeah, someone delivered this shit to my sisters door, Naya and I already gotten a picture. So is he doing?" Heather asks harshly glaring at Sadie.
"I don't know, I haven't seen Jaron in 4 years. I don't talk to him, because he got my deported back to Nepal. Jaron could never keep his fucking mouth shut." Sadie sighs as she pinches the bridge of her nose to calm down.
"How did that happen?" I ask in confusion, sipping on my drink, waiting for Sadie to continue.
"We adopted Taylor when he was 8. His parents left him alone. We went to go visit Nepal that summer. So when Taylor was 15, Jaron put drugs into his locker and they sent him back. Now, my brother is all alone. Jaron has been on my list for years." Sadie says wiping her tears away.
"I'm sorry Sadie, I couldn't even imagine losing a sibling like that." Heather says.
"It's cool Heather, don't take your for granted, be happy that they're here with you." Sadie says sitting down grabbing the whiskey bottle.
"Okay, so how do we find Syd?" I asked looking at the two women.
"We're going to do this on our own. Commander Brown can't know about this, if he does he will call all units on this case." Sadie downs her drink and pours her another one.
"She's right, but what am I supposed to tell my wife? Naya's already worried about me going back. I told her that I would always tell her the truth, I'm not lying to my pregnant wife." Heather says crossing her arms.
"I trust your wife Heather, I've had dinner with her before we all went to the army. I know you and I have some issues with our friendship, but I'm counting your wife out, she deserves to know about this." Sadie gives Heather a small smile.
"Thanks, look here's the video." Heather puts the CD into my DVD player and the video comes on. I look over at Sadie with a shocked face, Heather is standing there balling up her fists as she watches this video again. After the video is over, I make my drink a fucking double.
"We have to tell Mary and Lindsey too." I say to them.
"Agreed." Heather nods.
"She's not here." Sadie says.
"How do you know that?" I look over at her.
"Don't you guys recognize that building?" She asked.
"We were in Pakistan." Heather says in fear. Man, I remember that mission we had over there. We did a hostage rescue that day and it was horrible.
Flashback
Sadie's POV
I run towards Heather with my injured leg, I have to keep going. I finally reach her.
"Shit!" Heather says looking down my leg.
"Fuck, it hurts!" I collapse into her arms, and she catches me. We sit down on the ground and lean up against the wall.
"What the fuck happened?!" Heather ties her bandana onto my leg.
"Fucking assholes shot me! We have to hurry up and fine these girls. I'm ready to leave." I say winces as she helps me stand up, my leg is so bad. I'm losing a lot of blood.
"Where's Jackson?" Heather asked looking around for him.
"I don't know, he was right behind me." I start to breathe heavy, my leg hurts so fucking bad.
"Come on." Heather and I head towards this warehouse looking place, it's all fucked up looking. We spot two guards by the door that must be where they're holding the girls.
"I can't go in there like this. The have fucking hounds dude." I point to the vicious looking dogs who's sniffing around.
"Good point. I have 4 bullets left." Heather cocks her gun back getting ready to shot.
"Woah, four bullets, bitch please." I lean up against the car we're hiding behind. I pull put my gun as well looking over at Heather who's ready. We were about to shoot until we hear rapid gunfire. We look back to see Jackson running up to us.
"Where the fuck were you?!" Heather yells hitting his shoulder angrily.
"I had to take down those bastards. They almost killed Sadie." He says to us giving us some bullets.
"I think this is the place, let's go." I limp over to the door with Heather and Jackson who are covering me. I take one of the guards guns push the door open. We hear footsteps behind us and I was about to shoot, but it was Sydney.
"Girl, I almost shot you." I hug the woman tightly.
"Sorry, I found this location on the map. Let's go save these girls." Sydney helps me down the steps. We see all 7 of the young girls tied up with blood on their clothes. We go over to untie them all, they all cry and hug us. We call in our team to meet us at this location, but the warehouse starts to crumble down. We rush all of the girls out of the building, but we got trapped inside of the falling building and we're trapped. There's no way out of here. Everything turns black after that.
End of flashback.
Back to Jackson's POV
"Fuck man. I thought we were all going to die over there that day. Then we had to be in Afghanistan after that." I raise up my pants leg and trace the scar I got from that hostage rescue in Pakistan.
"So we have to go back there?" Heather asked as she starts to shake.
"Apparently." Sadie nods sadly.
"Naya is going to fucking kill me." Heather says groaning. I know Naya is going to kill her for real.
"Look, let's sleep on this. We'll meet up tomorrow." I tell them.
"Okay, sounds good." Heather nods grabbing her phone and keys.
"I'm staying here. We need to think this through. We'll text you Heather." Sadie says putting the pictures back into the envelope.
"Okay." Heather leaves.
"We're in deep shit." She says looking at me.
"I know." I sigh.
…..
Heather's POV
I walk into my house, and I see Lea and Dianna talking to Nay. They all turn their heads toward me.
"Hey baby." Naya gets up and kisses my lips.
"Hey." I say rubbing her stomach. I'm glad my wife is pregnant again, but I have a bad feeling about talking to her about Syndey.
"You doing okay Heather?" Dianna asked coming up to hug me.
"Yeah, Di. I'm good." I nod at the short blonde with a small smile.
"Are you guys coming to Kevin's party tomorrow night?" Lea asked.
"Yeah, we got to go shopping for him to babe." Naya says holding me.
"Sounds good." I go to sit down on the couch across from Lea and Dianna.
"Heather, what's going on?" Naya asked sitting on my lap.
"Something bad has happened Nay, and you're not going to like what I have to say." I look up at my wife with sad eyes. Naya is going to fucking bury me alive over this.
"We'll call you guys later. This sounds serious." Lea says standing up along with Dianna."
"Call us if you guys need anything." Dianna says kissing both of our foreheads.
"We will." I nod at them. They leave the house and I look up to my wife.
"Heather what's going on baby?" Naya caresses my face.
"Sydney is alive baby, and we think that she's in Pakistan." I tell my worried wife.
"How?' Naya frowns at my confession, I know this must be really weird for her.
"A video and some pictures were left at April's doorstep from when I went over there this morning. Sydney was yelling for me and Jackson to saver her." I explain.
"So, what's the plan? Are you guys going to go over there, and fucking get killed?" Naya stands up from my lap and walks to the kitchen.
"Naya, she's my best friend. If it was Madison, you'd do the same thing." I say to her truthfully.
"Heather, baby, I can't have anything happen to you. We're having another baby, and think about how this is going to affect Lyric and me!" She slams her hands down on the counter top in anger.
"Naya, I can't let her die over there. She'll do the same for me and if it was you trapped over there, don't you know she'll go out of her way to get you back for me as well? She loves her family, Naya, just like I love mine. I'm not letting her get killed over there." I feel my tears falling, she's my best friend.
"I can't think about this right now." Naya walks to our bedroom and slams the door. I'm about tired of this shit. I pour me a drink and down it before I head to our bedroom. I see Naya holding a picture of us, I hear her crying.
"Baby, stop crying please." I walk over to her and pull her up.
"I can't lose you." She sobs into my chest.
"You're not. I promise." I kiss her head and rock us back and forth. After this sad moment we had we decided to go see that new James Bond movie, then we went out to dinner in Burbank. After, we've had dinner and watch the James Bond movie it was late. We both take a shower together then we headed off to bed. I spoon by wife from behind rubbing her belly. I hope Sydney is okay. I wake up to noises downstairs in my house. I get and see that Naya is still sleeping. I grab my gun from under the mattress. I check on Lyric and she's still sleep as well. I got downstairs and see that my back door is unlocked. I check on Lucy and Zachariah and they're both fine. I go out back and check around my backyard, but nothing is there. All of sudden I feel a cloth being put over my mouth. I elbow this person in the stomach making the stumble back. I punch them in the face knocking them down on the ground. I kick them in the face knocking them out. I bend down to take of the mask, but everything goes back after that.
