Kate's past, Mike's future
Chapter 11
Caution for tear jerker's in this chapter as there is an unexpected reunion and the Main Baddie is revealed. Hope you enjoy!
Kate didn't know where she was for a moment. As she started to become more aware of her surroundings she could tell you three things. One, she was on something, better yet, she was on someone; two, she was cold and sore; and three whoever she was on was crying above her. As she slowly opened her eyes, she could see the room around her. The walls were a light blue and the floor had a dark blue carpet. The ceiling was mirrored and rounded in places. Monitor cameras, like they have in the department stores. There was a door that was opened which looked like it leads to a bathroom, also in blue. She slowly turned but realized she hurt all over. That was when she noticed. Her dress had been ripped from her chest, her black push up bra gone. There were bruises forming on her breasts and she knew why she was sore all of a sudden. She had been sexually assaulted. That was when she remembered the person who was in the room with her. Now with her clearing mind, she could understand what the person, a woman was muttering as she stroked her hair softly.
"I can't believe you're alive. We had all hoped and prayed. Now here you are, my precious Katie. I'm so sorry they hurt you. I wish I could have been there; I would have tried to stop it. Oh my precious Katie, my little Katie-did, I'm here now and your father will come soon, I promise"
Kate turned over and startled the older woman instantly. Even with tear streaked eyes, Kate recognized the agony filled face of Frances Buckingham-McGregor. She wasn't even thinking as she lunged for the only woman she would ever call mom and hugged her with all of her might. Frances held her just as ferociously and it took Kate a few moments before she came to her senses.
It was then that she recognized she was on a bed. A queen size bed in fact, with blue and silver sheets. It was pretty; bad it also held a dark promise within it. A horror of what else was to come. It made Kate feel even more repulsed. She looked down at herself more clearly now. Her dress was ruined, but that was fine. As soon as she was out of here, she would change. She didn't expect to hear what her step mother had said next.
"When he found out you had been raped, the men were punished and they gave you a shot to prevent you from getting pregnant. I think that pervert wants that option all to himself."
That got Kate's attention real quick. If they were going to escape, she needed to know what they were up against.
"Mom, tell me everything you know about what is going on. I can't do anything until you do"
"Kaitlin, what could you do? I mean I know you survived your mother, you would have had too to be here, but that is all"
Kate just gave the woman the smirk she had inherited form her grandmother.
"Mom, I will get us out of this I can promise you, and all because of who I have become in my life. I am Kaitlin Louise McGregor, Lady of the House of McGregor, a lieutenant in the Royal Australian Navy, I'm the XO on board of the HMAS Hammersrly and I'm the fiancée of Commander Mike Flynn. I, Mom, can do anything"
Several times during the car ride to the HMAS Hammersrly, Alistair noticed not only his anger and fear where penetrating the car. Mike's hands were gripped so tight, his knuckles were white. The glare in his eyes could match his own, and you could hear him grinding his teeth in Anger. When they parked, they didn't wait for the others, the both got out of the car and Alistair followed him straight in the Ship. When they reached Mike's Cabin, Alistair was confused.
"Why are we hear Mike?"
Mike wasted no time throwing a pair of Camoes to the man. "Put these on, it will cause fewer questions for later"
Mike went into the Bathroom the change while Alistair changed in the main room. Soon both men were ready, but Mike had one final touch. He ripped off his name tag and placed another on top. Alistair quickly recognized his own name and realized they were extras of Kate's tags that Mike held on to for her. He quickly, grabbed a third pair and did the same. Alistair knew they were for his son Chris. When they reached the weapons depot, it looked like Dutchy had done the same for Marshal, except the name tag had his rank and name written in with marker. He threw Chris is pair and told him where to go change. Chris did so quickly and came back to see everyone suiting up, and Dutchy and Mike helped him with his.
After all were finished, all followed Robert up to the Com Center. From there Robert was able to better track down where the tracking beacon signals were coming form. Mike, Dutchy, Steve and Swain were going to drive, and brought in their GPS's inside with them. Robert put in the coordinates into them and handed them back.
"Let's go get the X" Said Dutchy for the Mike, telling everyone how serious this rescue mission was. You didn't mess with the Navy.
Kate was shocked, if not a least big scared, of what she had been told by here step mother.
"Who has taken us again?"
"Aaron Parmialy. He became big in the oil rigging business and mining industry several years back. He is the ill get son of Lord Augustus Sinclair. He apparently has a grudge against you Father, but I don't understand why. "
Before the women could talk more, a voice comes over a loud speaker in the far side of the room.
"I went to check on my girls to find they are both awake. How delightful. To answer your Stepmothers question, yes I do have a grudge against Alistair McGregor. He has ruined his life over and over again and I am now going to make the bastard pay. But I think I will rather answer the questions of the daughter first. I have a grudge because I was in love with your Mother first Kaitlin. Every time I tried to gain her attention, Alistair was always there ripping the rug out from underneath me. I hated him for it"
Kate couldn't believe it. This fool wants her real mother. Well he could have her.
"If you want Michelle so bad, you can have her! The Whore is serving 25 to life in Berrimah Prison in Darwin. I can see once you're captured that you have a cell right by hers."
Aaron just laughed. He could see the spark in the young woman eyes and decided to fill her in on a little secret of his.
"I see you haven't been informed yet. Pity, but oh well, at least you learn it now. Michelle McGregor was released this year and has remarried. She is currently pregnant with a child. My Child. You see you little wasted bitch, I got your mother off and she finally saw me for what I was worth. We were married immediately."
Kate's eyes widened drastically. Michelle was out! Why hadn't she been informed for her own safety?
"But we still have a little score to settle with your father. We were quite pleased to learn he still thought you dead. We even sent an anyomous letter to your father, showing we were wed. I hope it made him realize what he lost and what is now mine. We were going to take care of you separately, but then your Father found out you we're still alive. We couldn't have had that now could we? It spoiled our fun. Frances turned in Michelle for the apparent abuse she caused you growing up, which I don't believe and made your father gain custody. If it wasn't for that, I would have had Michelle long ago. But no matter, you will all pay for the sins father now."
This man was nuts. When she went to ask where they were, there was no answer. That was when Frances pointed to the light.
"When it's green, he's listening and watching. When it's red, he is offline. I acted stupid at first and asked what the light was for and he answered me, thing I was being a simpleton."
"Good' said Kate, as she quickly rushed to the bathroom. The ceiling was still mirrored, but she looked close enough to notice. She stood on the sink and felt around. When she felt the one mirrored tile move, the smirk on her face returned.
"What are you doing?" Ask Frances a little warring
Kate looked at her mom with a smile. God thank the Navy for survival training.
"I'm getting us out of here, that's what. Come on"
Mike's GPS took him to an abandoned train yard. He waited to see if there were any surveillance cameras. He didn't see any, so he parked. He quickly pulled his laptop out of his suitcase and begun searching the internet. This seemed to aggravate Alistair.
"What are you doing? We need to find Kaitlin"
Mike looked back at Alistair and understood he didn't understood.
"That is what I am doing. I'm looking for the blueprints online for the abandoned train yard we are in. From there we can determine where the best place to search first is. We can learn where the cameras are and avoid them, giving us the advantage. Plus we have to wait for the guys."
'Ok' thought Alistair, Mike is a very dangerous man if he was angry beyond belief yet could still think up a strategy to save his daughter and Mike's fiancée. Which reminded him...?
"Did you get to ask her before she was taken?"
Mike knew what Alistair was asking he looked at him with a half hearted smile.
"Yeah I did, and she said yes. I can't lose her again Alistair. Like you, I love her too much. It would kill me"
Alistair understood and placed his hand on his son- in-law's right shoulder.
"Then we won't lose her. We fight back, we save her. We kill the bastard's friend, and in the process I might find out what happened to my wife earlier this week"
This surprised Mike. He didn't know Alistair's wife was also missing. But then...
"Why didn't you say anything before Alistair?"
Alistair looked sadly into the Mike's eyes.
"They had just found their sister Mike, how could I tell them they gained a sister, but lost their mother?"
Mike understood completely and continued to search. He was going to make these guys pay, get Kate back, and find out where his new mother in law was so he could heal Alistair's pain as well. It was the least he could do.
Back at the house, a black van pulled up outside. All the lights were out so the men thought killing the grandmother and other sister would be easy. They didn't expect to have company waiting inside.
Bomber, now just known as Rebecca, was waiting with Jessica with guns at the ready. They knew there was a chance someone would come trying to take out Kate's grandmother and Kate's sister, that was the reason why guys had left them there armed. After the Guys left, the girls turned out all the light and hide inside Kate's bedroom. The grandmother and sister could hide in there with a night light, but Bomber and Bird were left in the dark, their only light given by the moon peaking in and out of the clouds in the night sky. They heard the assassins before they saw them. When they heard them picking the front door lock, they knew it was time.
Positioning themselves was easy. Bird creped quietly into the kitchen and dining room. She easily hid behind the island. Bomber positioned herself right inside Kate's bedroom door. When they heard the doors open, Bomber and Bird struck. They each took out three men. The assassins never knew what hit them before they hit the floor dead.
