Abby, Connor and Becker stood in the armoury, loading guns with live ammunition and hooking them in holsters or swinging them around their shoulders with straps. They had three guns each, except Becker who had four, and all the ammunition they could carry without it being to much of a burden to carry.
Connor pulled back the top slide of the browning 9mm pistol to check the round was in the chamber before applying the safety. He then stuck in his hip holster on the opposite side of the other pistol, and then slipped the strap of an M16 rifle around his neck. Glancing at the others, to see that they had finished their weapon checks and he gave them a thumbs up. They all wore body armour, the bullets impact should be absorbed by it but there could still be enough force to bruise or break a rib. The last piece of equipment was the earpiece, so if they got split up they could keep in contact.
"Becker?" Abby said.
Becker looked up, his face showed little emotion but his eyes were a giveaway to his fear. The fear wasn't of being shot or caught; it was for his family and friends.
"There'll be fine. We'll find them, don't worry," she smiled.
He nodded, before fiddling with his Kevlar vest.
Once again the sound of someone running down the corridor entered the armoury room and they took up hiding positions from which they could fire from if chaos broke out. The sound began to grow louder as it became obvious it was coming their way. However the sound was solo, there was only one set of feet. Edging forwards Becker poked his head out the doorway since he was closest. He smiled at the sight.
Lt. Forn came to a stop, before recognising his captain and jogging towards him, dropping Alexis to the ground. Becker grinned as he let the rifle swing around to rest on his back and lifted his daughter into his arms, checking for any injuries.
"Thank you lieutenant," he nodded towards the breathless soldier.
"You're welcome, she saved my life."
Becker raised his eyebrow and looked at his youngest child. "Really?"
"Yeah, I was fighting this one guy who was on his own he had me pinned and my gun was out of reach, and then I see this kid walking towards us. She knocked the gun so I could reach it and I knocked the guy out and ran."
"Where are the others?" he asked.
"I don't know, she was on her own." The soldier answered as he entered the armoury to grab some extra ammo.
"Nursery," Alexis mumbled into her father's shoulder.
Everyone looked at her in shock, except for Michael.
"What did you say?" Becker said.
Alexis lifted her head from his shoulder and looked around the room, "They're in the nursery. I wanted to find you."
Becker grinned and threw her up in the air and caught her again. Connor and Abby just stared at her in amazement, but Michael still didn't understand what was so good.
"What's the celebration for?" he questioned.
"Didn't you notice how she doesn't talk?" Abby said.
"No, the whole way here she was a chatterbox and telling me her name and who she was looking for."
"She hasn't spoken since she was two years old," Becker looked at the soldier before turning back to Alexis.
"Daddy," she grinned.
