Chapter 10

Previously…

When all of the men were on the ground we quickly took all the blueprints and evidence that we could get our hands on. Rachel called the CIA to get them to pick everyone up. Agent Townsend was making sure that Abby was safe and was talking to Joe. I was picking up all the evidence and papers that were there while Abby was trying to look at all the computer systems they had.

Little did we know we weren't safe.

[POV Joe]

"You alright Agent Townsend?"

"Yes, I am quite alright." Townsend replied.

I walked over to Matt who was now checking on Rachel.

"You alright Rach?"

"I'm fine. Let's just get out of here."

We collected everything we needed and we were scanning the blueprints for the quickest way out of here when twenty men bursted through the doors with automatic weapons.

The bullets were flying everywhere. Ouch! One grazed my arm. Everyone jumped behind the tables for safety. I pulled out my gun and started firing at the men; unfortunately they had also taken shelter.

"GO TO THE PANEL AND PRESS IT! IT'S A PASSAGEWAY TO THE OUTSIDE!" Abby yelled.

I went for it first. The others were firing their weapons trying to cover me. I pushed it and it revealed a passageway.

"Come on!" I yelled.

Rachel ran in first, followed by Matt. Agent Townsend came next and finally Abby. I closed the passageway and Abby guided us with the blueprints in her hands. We got to the end of the metal passageway when Abby pressed a very tiny circle in the middle of it and it swung open.

A helicopter was coming towards us and landed on the concrete. Rachel jumped in and talked to the driver. Matt shrugged at me and climbed in the back. We got in and I heard Rachel talking to a youngish looking man with brown hair and a small mole on the side of his forehead.

"Come on Mr Smith! We need to go NOW!" Rachel yelled.

Bullets started flying at the helicopter but the glass didn't budge. "Nice touch Rachel". She smiled at me. I could see several helicopters fly towards the base; they were CIA agents to collect the casualties and the rest of the men.

"Ok everyone it's a long wait to get back to the CIA so get comfy." said Mr Smith.

Matt used the first-aid kit in the helicopter to cover up Rachel's stab wound and her scratches. He then helped Agent Townsend.

Abby then passed out. I leaped over to her and got her in my arms before her head hit the ground.

I then saw the bullet wound in her stomach. I tried to stop the bleeding with the cloths that Matt was handing me. Rachel was crying and Agent Townsend was stunned.

Mr Smith said it was five minutes to landing, thank god.

We rushed out of the helicopter, me holding Abby bridal style. I rushed into the infirmary and laid her down on the hospital bed. The doctors got to work instantly.

Matt was helping Agent Townsend onto a separate bed for the nurses to help him with his bruises.

I led Matt and Rachel into the waiting room so we could let the doctors perform the surgery. Rachel was asleep on Matt as soon as we sat down in the really big comfy chairs.

It took 3 hours 47 minutes 23 seconds and 19 milliseconds for one of the doctors to come out of the operation room.

"She will be fine; she lost consciousness from the loss of blood. We have taken the bullet out and she will be up in about an hour."

One of the nurses then came to me and offered her assistance which I declined. I'm not the one who accepts help that would damage my ego too much.

We walked straight towards the Directors office to deliver him the evidence we collected from the base and to tell him that Abby is fine.

"Sir this is the evidence that will hold up in court against these criminals. Abigail is fine, she had some blood loss but the bullet has been removed."

"Thank you Agents." He shook all our hands.

We went back downstairs to wait for Abby to wake up.

Thanks for those special people who encouraged me to continue with the story. :) there will only be a couple more chapters. Thanks :)
