What Will It Take?
Chapter 10
Meghan stepped out of the shower, feeling refreshed. She put on her pajamas, which consisted of a pair of short shorts and a tank top, ready to relax in her bed, not looking forward to most likely failing the course again tomorrow. At least, she could get a good night's rest.
Suddenly there three loud knocks on her door. "Hey dumbass, open up."
"Well, there goes that plan." Meghan thought. She walked over to the door and opened it.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Eliza asked as she stormed inside.
"Sure Eliza, you can come in, by the way, it's nice to see you too."
"Do you even know that Jack took Ela out on a date?"
"Yes, I'm aware, and I'm very happy for them." Meghan replied calmly.
"You're a shitty liar."
"I'm not lying."
"So, you aren't bothered that they're dating?"
"No."
"Even though they were making out in the lounge?"
"They what?" Meghan asked before she could stop herself. "I mean…damnit."
"I knew it." Eliza said in triumph. "By the way, I made that last part up, I just needed you to admit it does bother you."
"Alright." Meghan relented. "I'll admit, I'm not thrilled at the idea of Ela being with Jack."
"Because she should be with you."
"I didn't say that."
"You didn't have to."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"We can all tell you like her, especially after Monika found you in her room."
"Look, that wasn't what you guys think it was."
"Then what was it?"
"She was going through a rough time, and she needed someone to comfort her."
"So, you're saying that if Mike was having a rough time, you would spend the night cuddling with him?"
"God, no."
"See, Ela has a special place in your heart."
"That doesn't mean I have a thing for her." By now, Meghan was getting tired of this argument.
"You can say that all you want, I can tell otherwise."
"Oh really, how so?" Meghan asked sarcastically.
"Because you look at her the same way I looked at Monika before we dated." Eliza explained. "You're always concerned, and always protective of her. Even when she shut you out, you still waited patiently for her to trust you, and now she trusts you more than anyone one on the team."
"That doesn't mean I have a romantic interest in her."
"It means that you're willing to put in the effort."
"Why are we even talking about this, what goes on between her and I is none of your or anyone else's business."
"I'm looking out for my best friend, and I'm telling you she is a great catch for you."
"Why is everyone obsessed with my dating life?!" Meghan was now getting frustrated. "Why does everyone care who I date or whether or not I date anybody?"
"Because you're not happy Meghan!"
Meghan wasn't sure how to respond to that. "What are you talking about?"
"We've all seen it over the past few months, you keep this strong, confident look on you all day, but we can all tell, deep down, you are not happy. Ela makes you happy."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Remember when she got hurt, and you thought it was your fault because you were reckless?"
Meghan recalled that day. "What about it?"
"I know why you acted like that, you two were having fun." Eliza elaborated. "She was having a good time and you joined in. Right before she pushed you out of the way, you took me out. Well, you got me because I hesitated, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"I saw you smiling, a genuine smile. Something that I haven't seen you do in a long time. You weren't obsessed with assessing the situation, calculating risks, or getting your timing right, you were having fun. That was because of her, and no one has had that same effect on you since we've known each other."
Meghan was at a loss for words, she was confused and frustrated and didn't know what to make of what Eliza had just told her. "Get out."
"Meghan-
"Eliza please, for once just do what I say and leave me alone!"
Eliza seemed to get the message and said nothing more as she left the room, leaving Meghan alone with her thoughts. She laid down on her bed, she had planned on going to sleep, but that plan was out the window now that her thoughts were spinning, mostly because she couldn't figure out why she had snapped like that. As annoying as Eliza could be, Meghan knew that yelling at her like that was completely uncalled for. Looking back, she noticed that she had been snapping a lot at people lately, she was always used to being calm and collected, now she had been quick to anger several times in the past several days, every instance had involved Ela.
"Ela…" Meghan whispered out loud as her thoughts switched to the Polish girl.
For some reason, a lot of people on the team seemed to think that Meghan had romantic feelings for the new girl with green hair. She began reflecting on the interactions the two of them had since Ela arrived at Hereford, introducing her to the team, helping her when she was hurt, she even introduced her to Lena. Most of the operators knew of the hyperactive girl, but Ela was the only one who Meghan took to see personally.
After thinking on it for a few minutes, Meghan realized that to a bystander, it could seem like there was something going on between them. But there wasn't, they were just friends, right? Was she even attracted to Ela? According to Eliza, she made the SEAL happy, was Meghan truly unhappy? Strangely enough, her mother asked her about it just the week before, and even then, she had trouble answering the question.
Meghan let out a frustrated groan, there were to many questions she had no answer to. She tried to close her eyes and go to sleep, to no avail. Her thoughts kept roaming back to Ela, they had spent a lot of time together, more than Meghan had with any other operator when they first joined. Taking her out for coffee, spending the night with her when she needed a friend, making breakfast for the team, seeing her naked.
…
Meghan's cheeks turned bright red, that's not where her mind needed to be right now.
Or was it?
Meghan's thoughts once again went back to the image of Ela's naked body. She had only stared for a couple seconds, but it was enough to capture every detail of the Polish beauty. Her pale skin, her B cup sized breasts, her wide hips, the fact that she had just showered and was still soaking wet, if only she had kept staring after she had turned around to get a view of her-
Meghan gasped and opened her eyes, she looked down and realized she had absentmindedly started rubbing herself through her shorts. She knew she shouldn't, but the heat was already building up between her legs. It was too late, she needed some relief, and this was the only way she would get it right now.
She continued to rub the sweet spot between her legs through her shorts. It honestly felt amazing, Taina was right, she needed a release, the last time Meghan having done anything sexual, alone or with someone else was when they had slept together a year ago.
By now Meghan was very worked up, she had begun to soak through her panties and her shorts. She decided to slide them both off her legs and simply threw them aside, she would have to wash them later anyway. Now that the obstructions were gone she could get back to work, she closed her eyes and went back to sweet image of Ela's naked body. Was she a horrible person for imagining her friend like this? Probably, but right now she didn't care.
Her right hand made its way back down to her pussy, which was getting wetter. Her fingers finding her clit, slowly began rubbing circles around the sensitive spot. The sensation was amazing, sending waves of pleasure through her body. She couldn't control the soft moans that came out of her, as she began to rub a little faster. Now her imagination was going a little more wild, she wondered what Ela would be like in bed, what sounds would she make? What would she let Meghan do to her?
Now she was really worked up, she stopped rubbing and slowly inserted a finger inside. She moaned even louder as she began to move her hand back and forth. At first, she moved slowly, then she started fingering herself at a much more rapid pace.
She began to imagine herself and Ela in bed together, what would she feel like? Her hands running along Ela's smooth skin. The feeling of her soft breasts. Her lips pressed against her own.
Her free hand reached under her tank top and grabbed her left breast, gently squeezing and pinching her nipple adding to the ecstasy. The amount of pleasure she was feeling was incredible as she inserted another finger into herself, by now her whole hand was wet. She began thrusting even faster, she was now writhing from the pleasure, knowing she was close.
She then imagined Ela doing this to her, if it were her hands instead of her own touching her this way. How would Ela's tongue feel licking at her center? How would Ela taste if Meghan were to go down on her? She imagined Ela writhing in pleasure and moaning her name while she tasted her sweet nectar. The mental image was enough to finally send Meghan over the edge.
"Ela!" She let out one final moan as her walls tightened around her fingers as one final wave of pleasure hit her. She couldn't control her body, her back arched and her hips bucked several times. Her whole body spasmed as she came hard all over her hand and even onto her bed. She kept moving her fingers inside herself, so she could ride out her orgasm even longer.
After about a minute, she finally came down from her pleasure high. Her breathing was heavy, her body even built up a small sweat. She removed her hand and looked at her cum coated fingers. She was partially disgusted with herself, but now she felt like she could finally fall asleep.
Maybe after another shower.
"How much longer are they gonna keep us out here?"
"Seriously dude, about the complaining…"
Norman and Irvin were still at their post, now that they had discovered the enemy base, they had carried out part two of their mission, observing the theme park.
"I mean, we already found the place, what else do they want?"
"We've been over this, we need to update command just in case anything changes."
"It's been almost two weeks and nothing's changed."
"So, we have nothing to report to command. Now shut up before someone hears us."
"I'm just so bored."
Norman didn't respond, he only continued to look through his binoculars.
"What? No snappy remark?"
…
"Norman?"
"I think I found a cure for your boredom."
Irvin grabbed his own pair of binoculars and looked over at the park. After focusing the lenses, he noticed a large cargo truck pulling up to the enemy base.
"Now what do we have here?" Irvin asked.
Once the truck finished pulling up to the building, the two rear doors opened up, but due to the angle the two men were unable to see what was inside. After a few moments, the ramp began to extend. Immediately, several White Mask members stepped inside, presumably to offload whatever cargo it held.
"Let's see what's behind door number one."
After a minute, they began to step back out, they were offloading two very large boxes, each requiring four men to move. The two observers noticed that the terrorists started to celebrate upon seeing the crates.
"What do you think is inside the mystery boxes?" Norman asked.
"Hmm, maybe it's just some supplies." Irvin guessed.
"We've seen them drop off supplies before, never in boxes like those."
"Maybe some guns?"
"They already have a lot of guns, why would they be celebrating a few more?"
"I don't know man, maybe they're celebrating their new porta potties."
"Hang on, it looks like their opening them."
They observed a couple men wielding crowbars begin to open the two wooden crates. After a few moments of prying, the front panel to each box fell and they were finally able to see what was inside. Both observers were then filled with a sense of dread.
"Oh fuck."
"This is bad." Norman immediately put down his binoculars and grabbed the handset to his radio. "HQ, this is Orchid one, we have a problem here."
Eliza was back in her room grabbing a fresh set of cloths, getting ready for another day of running the theme park course, and probably failing at it, again. It didn't bother her though, she had finally patched things up with her girlfriend and it felt great, not even today's training could ruin her mood. She had just changed her outfit when there was a knock on her door, she walked over and answered it, not surprised to see none other than Meghan Castellano.
"Meghan, good morning." Eliza greeted.
"Hey." Meghan said, quietly. "Can I come in?"
"Sure."
Meghan walked in and took a seat, Eliza sat on her bed, waiting to see what Meghan wanted talk about. For a while, Meghan didn't say anything, she just patted her knees, wondering how to start the conversation. Finally, she decided just to come out and say it, albeit very quietly. "You were right."
"What was that?" Eliza asked with a smile.
Meghan sighed in defeat. "You were right." She said louder. "All of you were right. I like Ela, a lot."
"Hmm."
"Eliza please, I don't want to hear 'I told you so'."
"I know, but I want to say it so bad." Eliza's smile grew even wider. "Can I just say it one time and you cover your ears?"
Without saying anything, Meghan put her hands over her ears.
"I told you so!"
"Well, I'm glad you feel better."
"I do a little, but I feel like I could feel even better if you heard it."
Meghan smiled at her friend's antics. "Well, what now?"
"What do you mean, what now?" Eliza asked in confusion.
"I mean, what do I do now?"
"You idiot, you go and confess your love for her and claim you girl."
"Yeah one problem with that." Meghan explained. "She's with Jack."
"Oh please, you two have always had a connection, just tell her how you feel, and she'll be all yours."
"But that's not fair to Jack, he beat me to her, I let her get away. I don't even know if she likes girls either."
"You're really going to put Jack before yourself?"
"Yes, I've had boyfriends stolen from me before, it feels horrible, I won't do that to anyone else."
Eliza thought for a moment. "Well yeah, but its Jack. How long do you think that will last?"
"And when that happens, I will make a move, until then, I just have to accept that she's happy with someone else."
"You really are too good of a person, I never thought I'd have to say that as an insult." Eliza said. "Do you know how I got Monika to go out with me?"
"I don't know, and I really don't want to know."
"It all started with-
A sudden knock at the door interrupted her, she walked over and opened it to see Mike standing in front of her with his back turned.
"Mike, what's up?"
"Are you dressed?"
Eliza sighed. "Yes, its safe to turn around."
He turned to face her. "Great. Anyway, meetings now going at ten-o'clock, spread the word."
Eliza and Meghan looked at him in confusion.
"But we always start at noon." Meghan said.
"Not sure why it got changed but it came directly from Six, so it must be urgent."
"Ugh, fiiine." Eliza responded.
"Don't be late." He said as he walked off.
"What was that about you being dressed?"
"Don't ask."
Ela sat in one of the corner seats of the briefing room, trying to keep herself awake. After her awkward date with Jack, she couldn't fall asleep and she didn't quite know why. Perhaps she was worried that she wouldn't be able to find the right person, she really didn't even know how to look for the right person. On top of that, there was also the fact that they had yet to complete this theme park course, and the fact that she had no idea how to approach Isaac, or whether or not to approach him at all. She had an entire list of problems that she didn't know how to solve, and it was eating away at her. She was too lost in thought that she didn't notice someone take a seat right next to her.
"Hey Ela." It was Jack.
Ela internally groaned, she really didn't want to sit with anyone at the moment, especially him. "Hey Jack, I'm sorry but I'm really not interested."
"I know, but you said we could still be friends, right?"
He wasn't wrong, but still Ela wasn't in the mood for his company. "I guess so."
She then noticed a familiar patch of blonde hair enter the room, it was Meghan. She actually wouldn't mind talking with her, it had been a while since the two had spent time together. Unfortunately, just as she was about to wave her over, the blonde turned around and went to sit on the other side of the room, much to Ela's disappointment. Much to her annoyance, Jack tried to begin a conversation with her about their date the night before.
Meghan walked into the meeting room wondering what the brief was going to be about. One of the first things she noticed was Ela sitting in the corner, with Jack. The sight disheartened her to the point where she turned away and sat with Eliza and a few other team members. Every now and then she couldn't help but glance over at her crush.
"You should just tell her how you feel."
Meghan jumped at the surprise voice behind her. She turned around to see Taina staring at her. "Where do you keep coming from?"
"I like to surprise people, it's kind of my thing." Taina smiled. "Now are you going tell her or not?"
"I can't, she's with him now."
"Even after your little practice session last night?"
"You were spying on me?!"
"I live in the room next to you sweetheart, you weren't exactly being quiet."
Meghan's face turned red. "Please don't tell anybody."
"Don't worry."
"Thanks."
"Also, if you ever need any 'help' with that, I'm more than willing-
"No!"
"Everyone quiet down, the brief is about to begin." Once again, the lights dimmed as Six and her advisors entered the room.
Isaac stepped forward as the projector turned on. "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that this meeting was short notice, but we now have a matter of utmost urgency." He explained. "Last night, my scout team noticed an increase in activity coming from the theme park, upon closer investigation, they discovered this." The screen displayed what was clearly two very large bombs, surrounded by a lot of White Masks.
"What the hell are those?" Eliza asked.
"Class A chemical explosives." Isaac explained. "Though not nuclear by any means, each one is capable of leveling and entire city block, and they now have two of them."
"How on earth did they manage to get a hold of them?" Meghan asked.
"We're not entirely sure." He answered. "Normally, these types of explosives are used in large scale mining excavations. The manufacturer of the explosives reported the two explosives missing about a week ago."
"How on earth did they go missing? How do you lose not one, but two explosives of that scale?" Marius questioned.
"They were lost in transit, but it goes even further than that. In order to avoid accidents and theft, the company that manufactures the explosives ships them out disassembled into three different parts, on three different shipping routes, on three different dates. That's six pieces total, all six were accounted for when their respective ship departed, and all six were gone by the time they arrived."
The room went quiet as everyone tried to wrap their heads around the mystery.
"Look, right now it doesn't matter how the White Masks got these devices." Six explained. "What matters now, is the fact that they have them and they are more than willing to use them. In addition to that, we are also shorter on time, we have no idea when they plan to utilize these weapons of destruction or when they intend to ship them to intended targets. We must put a stop to them while we know where they are being kept."
Everyone agreed. "Does that mean we are leaving earlier than scheduled ma'am." Mike asked.
"That's exactly what that means, by about 10 days, since we still have training to do."
"But ma'am, we have yet to successfully run the practice course, will we be ready with less time?" Gustave worried.
"I believe so, our mission has now changed from liberation to bomb defusal, and on that note, I have approved IQ's idea of increasing the team size and have formulated a new strategy for how we will execute this mission."
Everyone's eyes were glued to the screen as the listened to Six's new plan, taking in every detail, listening to every word. One thing was universally understood by all of them, things were now way more intense, and the stakes were about to get much higher.
Author's note: Ever since this story was merely a thought bubble in my head, I've debated whether or not I would be adding any sexual scenes. I finally decided to go for it, if anything just to test my writing abilities. So those of you who read it tell me what you think, if I should add more, or would the story flow better with out it. Also, it seems no one caught the easter egg in the last chapter, and I give you props if you find this one. As always, hope you enjoyed and feel free to leave a review. Until next time.
