Author's Note:
See what you get when you review? A chapter only two days later! You guys have gotten me on a writing rampage! With all your sweet comments on how you love this story and want more, I had to, well, write more!
We're on chapter twelve today, so this is a big deal. My first couple stories ever ended after tweleve chapters, and those weren't even near a thouand words long, so be happy since this story isn't stopping anytime soon!
Okay, hold on a second, I need a cookie. *runs to kitchen to get cookie*
*runs back and lands on bed* Alright, now I can work.
Cougar and the K-Unit: Chapter Tweleve: Movement and Molly
"Guys," Cub called. "We have movement across the street."
We all turned our heads in the direction Cub was in and all jumped up when we noticed he was still watching the building. He wasn't just trying to stop everyone from fighting. I nearly tripped over at least two cots on my way over to him, but the rest were doing the same and no one noticed my clumsyness. "Appearence?" I asked, grabbing the notepad from his outstrethed hand and picking up the pen sitting delilcatly on the chair he wasn't sitting in. "Mid-thirties, balding, prison tats saying he is from Florida State Prison; was there for murder of the third degree and kidnapping of a minor."
You can get all that from a tat? I thought, but didn't voice it out loud. "He's holding onto something. It's a...oh my god."
Hearing him utter the words oh, my, and god, messed with my head; it swirled violently. "What is it?" I managed to ask. "A little girl."
I must have paled considerably since Snake was coming up to me. "Hey, you alright Cougar?"
I shook my head slowly and the room spun. They took another little girl from her parents?
"European desent, blonde hair, blue eyes, age seven to nine, rose dress-" Cub rattled off, but I couldn't write them on the notepad, so Wolf grabbed it along with the pen out of my hands and copied what Cub said in messy handwriting underneath the man's descriprion. He handed to Eagle, "Go look her up in the database."
All Eagle could do was nod and do what he was told. By then, my head had slowly stopped spinning and fainting wasn't a concern. Snake held into my arms and lowered my slowly onto the floor, then crouched beside me. "You okay?" he asked again, most likely hoping for a better answer than last time.
"He took a little girl, Snake." I mumbled, tears gathering in my eyes. "He took a little girl away from her parents and brought her to Afghanistan, the unsafest place I can think of." I said, stronger this time. I looked up into Snake's eyes. "I need to help her."
He nodded. "Okay, Cougar. We'll help you, but right now you need to tell me what your thinking about."
Tears spilled over my eyes and I roughly wipped them off of my cheeks. "I'm thinking about how scared that little girl must be, how her parents must be looking everywhere for her, how much I want to kill that sick son of a-" I was cut off by Eagle.
"Got it!" he yelled from the computer. "Molly Baum, German, eight years old."
"Are her parents in BND?" I asked, momentarily forgetting about Snake and focusing on the girl's picture on the computer.
"Yeah, in Munich. How did you know?"
"I can see a pattern." I replied, not giving too much of my thoughts away. "What is their latest assignment?"
"You mean what did they do to piss off the Enforcers?" he asked.
"Sure, we'll go with that for now."
"Uh, from what I can translate, they took some flashdrive and gave it to them."
"So, they're traitors?"
"Yeah, they're in big trouble; demoted to the bottom and on trial in the U.S."
"How did they get into the U.S?" Fox asked.
"They were-" he stopped, "Okay, I can't speak or read German very well, can someone else please translate?"
"Yeah, I know German." I said, standing up. I didn't notice Snake looking at my face intesly, I was to caught up in Molly's backround to think about where she was anyways, so it wasn't like I was going to pass out from shock or something. Eagle looked skeptical, so I added, "I'm three quarters German, my grandparents live in Munich, I visit a lot."
Only then did he nod.
Gosh, I thought, since when is Eagle serious?
When something's serious. I answered my own question.
"I'm fine, Snake." I assured him when he followed me over to the computer.
The computer was littered in German words and I skimmed over them then gave everyone the rough version in English.
"During their leave in America, the couple was caught in possession of the flash drive they were instructed to leave behind. Before law enforcement could catch up with them, they had sold the flash drive to a group called the Enforcers. An English SAS unit numbered K has an ongoing investigation on the group.
The couple's daughter, Molly, suspected to have been kidnapped by the group, is still missing."
"So they know about our mission?" Wolf asked from the window where he was still writing down everything Cub was rattling off.
"Yeah, it seems like it." I replied, looking his direction.
He nodded, "I think we should inform BND of Molly's whereabouts."
"You're probably right." I said, then pushed Eagle out of the chair. He landed with an omph! on the ground and muttered incoherently under his breath before getting up. By then I had my feet planted firmly on the ground and my back to him, facing the monitor.
I clicked "Compose A Message to Bundesnachrichtendienst" and scrolled down until I found the Munich location option.
"Ich bin Cougar von K-Unit in der britischen SAS. Wir haben Informationen über den Verbleib von Molly Baum. Ich bin eine operative Arbeiten am Enforcers Fall. Bei früheren Umgang mit ihnen in meiner Kindheit, ich weiß, dass sie vielleicht nicht lange halten in ihrem Hauptquartier. Bitte antworten Sie mir bald."
"Uh, what does it say?" Snake asked.
"It says, "I am Cougar of K-Unit in the British SAS. We have information on the whereabouts of Molly Baum. I am an operative working on the Enforcers case. With previous dealing with them in my childhood, I know that she may not last long in their headquarters. Please reply soon."
He nodded, "Oh, okay. Are you going to send it?"
"No, I think I'll stare at the screen until they telepathically get my message and reply back."
"Okay then, I'll be quiet."
At least he isn't worrying, I thought as I clicked on the blinking "Send to Bundesnachrichtendienst" button in the corner of the page.
"What now?" Eagle asked, apparently not mad at me for quite literally pushing him out of his seat.
"We wait." I bluntly stated, wanting to lean back in my seat, but not quite ready as Eagle was beside me.
I clicked on the Home button with the mouse, trying to find something to do.
"Hey," I yelled to Wolf, "should we tell homebase about Molly?"
"Tell MI6 since they're the ones we're doing this for."
I nodded and clicked "Compose a Message".
I scrolled down the list of possible recepients untill I found British Military Intelligence Sector 6.
"You know, " I said, "if they would abbreviate their names, we wouldn't have to have such a large monitor."
Eagle shrugged. "Maybe,"
I copied what I sent to BND and pressed send.
"At least I didn't have to translate that," I commented and Snake snorted, amused.
The computer beeped loudly and I nearly jumped out of my chair.
"BND replied!" I told the two people on the other side of the room.
Clicking on the blinking "Message Recieved" button in the corner, I translated to the rest of the team as I went.
"We understand that you are in Afghanistan on a mission involving the Enforcers. If that is where Molly Baum is, then we request that you rescue her; she is a person of interest. We will speak to you superiors on this matter, but please be prepared for what may come. Thank you for informing us of out POI's whereabouts, Cougar of the K-Unit."
"Well," Wolf said, coming across the room with Cub behind. "It looks like this mission just got more interesting."
I wrote this in a recordbreaking hour and a half! Go me, go me! =D
Review and maybe we'll make fast updates a usual thing.
