Wow the view from up here is amazing! Iv never been so high up. Whilst in the helicopter I literally had my nose pressed up against the glass like a three year old. I had never been outside of Morganville, iv only ever seen the barren landscape of Morganville, Texas. Who knew there was loads more to see.
"Wow you guys, jeesh your acting like kids. And to think iv got to put up with your childish behaviour for another 3 hours" Agent Johnston complained jokily. We all laughed, finally glad to have left Morganville and more importantly to finally be getting our Claire bear back. But one thing still bugged me.
"Hey Agent Johnston, why do you guys call Claire Tiny Tot?" I asked. I mean I get that she is a little small but I liked it.
"You know she's been in the FBI since she was 5 years old right? Well I guess its because she's always been the Tiny Tot" she laughed to herself, a very small sad laugh.
"I take it then you don't know her story?" she asked us, at our confused expressions she continued "Of coarse not. Well it all started on March 23rd 1999. Claire was 5 years old when they found her and her sister, who was 7 at the time, beaten and raped in an alley" Eve, Michael and I gasped. Our little Claire bear had been beaten and raped? Oh God! "They were found by Commander Houston, who brought them back to the FBI. He grew attached to girls and later adopted them. He trained them to be the best Agents they could be. The only information that was gathered from the girls when they were found was that their parents had done this to them and had later fled the country"
When Cassie had finished, Eve was in tears and a shocked Michael was trying to sooth her. I was frozen. I couldn't believe what had happened to Claire and her sister. I was on the verge of tears myself.
"It is important that you don't tell Claire I told you, you aren't meant to know this information, its highly classified" she explained to us before turning to stare blankly out the window.
Claire's pov
I didn't think, I just ran straight for the warehouse. The only thing going through my mind was that poor kid. Inside I searched the first 6 rooms. I dreaded the seventh room, but I continued on. There in the corner of the room, hiding behind the bomb itself, was a little girl.
"Sammie?" I asked.
"I want my mommy!" she started crying. I checked the clock on the bomb. 01:29. I had to move. And fast.
"Sammie, come here, I will make sure you get to see your momma, just come here please" I said trying to coax her out of the corner. Instead she just go up and bolted to the door.
"Sammie!" I cried, chasing after her. It was only then that I realised someone was talking through my ear piece.
"Danvers, Come in Claire Goddamn it!" came a familiar voice.
"Danvers" I replied. I spied movement going into the first room. "Sammie!" I yelled after her before following her in."There you are! Come on sweetie we gotta leave"
"Claire get the hell outa there!" I heard her scream at me. I picked up a crying Sammie before resting her on my hip.
"Done and Done" I replied to Cassie.
I ran towards the warehouse door. Once out I heard the shouts and cheers from other Agents and bystanders. Once out I began to slow my pace. That was my mistake.
Ten paces from the warehouse door, the warehouse exploded. I felt the heat of the explosion on my back just as cloud of smoke enveloped me. I felt a searing pain in my hip and all the way up my back, but I refused to let anything happen to Sammie. I put her front of me telling her to put her arms around my neck, so that my body was between her and the exploding building. I could hear the screams of my friends and colleagues, also of the bystanders. I couldnt move any farther frward in th cloud, smoke and flames surrounded me. i found myself falling to my knees, making sure i sheilded the kids body with mine. I found that i coudnt move. Had i failed? had i just cost the kid's life as well as my own?
What ya think? any good? reveiw and let me know?
