Hey guys been really really really busy so my betas took over. Hope you guys like this one.
Chapter 34
Ben's POV
I blinked open my eyes, my headache finally subsiding. Apparently I had fallen asleep for the hour we had until we launched our, hopefully successful, rescue mission.
"Ben, get up. Grab your gun and get hydrated, we need to go," Erica said, walking up to where I was seated.
I nodded and wobbled to my feet. I looked around on the ground, assuming my gun would be somewhere near me. I started to panic when I couldn't find it.
"Grandad..? I don't know where my gun is," I said walking to him.
"Oh, don't worry. Sam has it. Also, are you feeling alright?"
"I'll get it from him then, and yeah I'm fine now. We're heading off in a few minutes, right?" I asked.
"Yes, my boy. We're going to save Emmy and Mike!" Grandad answered.
"Come here everyone, we have to finalize our plans, so we can make sure this is a successful attempt at rescue and finishing this mission," Cyrus' rough voice rang out.
We all grouped together, weapons ready, faces determined. Uncle Sam handed me my gun.
"You know, Grandpa, maybe you shouldn't announce your plans so loudly," Erica frowned, pointing to our prisoner.
John was still tied to the tree, apparently asleep. But you could never trust a SPYDER agent.
"We have the coordinates now," Grandad nodded to me approvingly.
"What are we waiting for?"
"What about John?" Alexander pointed out.
"Take him hostage?" Warren suggested.
"They have Mike and Emmy, we have him!"
"I think it's risky," I said. I cast another glance at the enemy agent. He was snoring loudly. "He could escape, attack us, misdirect us..."
"We've got him under our watch," Cyrus said.
"So we leave him here?" Zoe asked.
"Bringing him will be a hassle wouldn't it?" She added.
Another discussion was about to break out when something happened. It was so fast we didn't even have time to react.
John scrambled up, free of the ropes that had tied him down, and vanished into the foliage.
"Hey! Catch that-!" Cyrus barked a curse.
We immediately raced into action.
I didn't see where John went, but I followed Erica; Zoe, Warren and Alexander behind me.
We streaked past trees,sprinting. I had healed from the bear attack, but a sudden sprint like this was not a good way to start the day.
"Dad, split up!" Erica ordered, her gun already in her hand.
"Zoe, on the other side! Corner him!"
Zoe sped up and ran to corner him. I pumped my legs faster, ignoring the slight fatigue I still felt, to try to end up next to Erica.
Breathing hard I sidled up next to her. She gave me a glance, and I knew that's all she could do while pursuing an enemy agent anyway.
There was a crash and a loud groan.
"We got him!" Sam and Zoe's voice rang out from a little ways off.
Erica and I slowed, as did the others, although they reached them first. We paced ourselves in a jog instead, and ran to Sam and Zoe. But right before we reached them, I heard an unfamiliar voice.
"What a surprise! We found you. Poor SPYDER isn't as good these days are they?"
There was a loud noise and then silence. Erica and I exchanged heavy and worried looks.
Who was the man? And what just happened?
LINEBREAK TALKS WHEN IMPOSSIBLE SAYS SO
Emmy's POV
"Emmy. Emmy. Emmy!" Mike said.
"What!?" I said in an outburst.
I could not believe we were still trapped in SPYDER's headquarters. I thought everyone would've rescued us by now. We had tried to escape once, but that resulted in us being knocked out and moved to another room, this time with glaring lights, a metal door and a concrete floor.
"Are we ever going to get rescued?" Mike asked.
"Mike, Ben will save us. No matter what. And don't forget about the rest of them either;they're all trained spies who know what they're doing. Now shhh, I need to think," I finished.
He nodded and for once, shut up. From what I could tell, we were somewhere near a forest..but that's all I could figure out.
I, a top spy, was next to clueless.
The only thing I knew for certain was that we were in some SPYDER headquarters, and were being watched by cameras. I figured that out because we were only brought water(and some measly, drugged food) when we were sleeping, and they wouldn't know when we were asleep unless they were watching us, since I tried to go to sleep at different times each day to hopefully cause some confusion. I tried to think of an escape plan, but drew another blank.
"Emmy?"
I sighed, "What now?"
"Wanna go out with me?" Mike asked, beaming at me.
My jaw dropped and I didn't utter even a single word.
Then, "Of course not dimwit! We're being held hostage by a dangerous organization and that's what's going through your mind?"
"Geez, calm down, I was trying to lighten up the mood. It was just a joke," he said.
"Fine, whatever," I grumbled. Secretly, I was a little relieved that Mike was trying to lighten the atmosphere; getting kidnapped could really down someone's sense of joy.
Right then there was a squeak and a bang of a door. I leaped up into a fighting stance.
"Who's there?" I tried to say strongly.
"Young girl, I'm just a SPYDER agent. Nothing to worry about," said a tall man dressed in black.
I bit back a remark. However, Mike didn't know how to keep his mouth shut.
"What do you want now stupid?" Mike unwisely said.
The man stepped forward and I did not budge from my fighting position.
"I see you got out of your bonds very fast," he noted, nodding towards the cut ropes on the floor, underneath the chairs Mike and I were originally tied to.
I still said nothing, and glanced at Mike hoping he'd get the message to be quiet as well.
"Playing silent, aren't you? Well it does not matter. I am only here to escort you."
That piqued at my interest and I knew I had to say something.
"Where. Where are we being so graciously 'escorted'? We're just being relocated aren't we?" I said, the words rushing out.
"Smart you are. Yes, I may as well tell you. You're being relocated. Trust me, your friends will never find you," he gave an evil grin.
"Come on now," he beckoned.
"Not without a fight, I won't," I grounded out.
"I expected that. Sorry about this," he said, not sounding sorry in the very least. He then slipped on a mask.
My eyes widened and I whirled around to look at Mike. He seemed to come to the same conclusion as me and his face mirrored mine.
The air filled with a toxic smell and I collapsed. I tried to hold my breath, but it did nothing. The poison tainted air filled my lungs and I shut my eyes.
