Chapter 5
A Well Deserved Vacation
"Come on, everybody get ready!" The sound of the commander's voice clashed through Sonya's ears. Three thugs were following behind her. "I need back up!" She threw open a capsule containing some type of genetic material. The material formed melted the titanium floor just as Sonya jumped away from it. A high swinging chain was next to her. As the material melted away the ground, she jumped up onto the chains as it kept swinging. The ground melted away completely, and the genetic substance fell into the thugs' hands.
Sonya watched as their hands melted away slowly. They began to scream as the burning sensation covered their entire mouths, filling Sonya's nose with the horrible stench. A small microchip flew from one of their hands. Sonya jumped off the chains and caught it. She pulled open her gear, and swung back onto the metal railings. Holding onto the hard chains, she reached into her pack and pulled out her radio. "This is Lt. Blade, is anybody there? Over!" Only a static sound was heard as a reply.
"This is Lt. Blade, is anyone there?" As Sonya pulled her radio closer, a bullet smashed through it. She dropped the radio, watching it crash and explodes on the ground below. Sonya looked up and saw a masked man holding a gun. He fired another bullet, barely missing Sonya's legs. She dropped down onto the ground and rolled over to the nearby boxes. Another shot was fired down at the boxes, causing her anger to rise. Sonya pulled out her shot gun and fired with great aim. The man fell from above and landed on the hard earth.
Sonya motioned her shotgun at the man; ready to strike if he tried to fire another shot. She saw his gun lying four feet away from him. Sonya grabbed his neck and pulled him up. "Listen, where are the master controls?" She asked. The man grunted and spitted at Sonya's face. "I'm not telling you anything," he responded. "So be it." Sonya twisted his neck, hearing the spine crack as his head fell over to his shoulder. She dropped him on the ground and kicked his face.
"Over here!" Four hooligans ran through the railings above and took out their handguns. They aimed their guns at Sonya just as she dashed over to the arsenal controls. "Fire!" The bullets crashed down over the machines, causing them to blow up. The electric currents filled the room with an eerie feel. Sonya pulled out her grenade just as the gangsters made a run for it. "Take this!" Sonya chucked the mechanism at them. Taking cover, the entire railings above broke apart. Bones and blood splattered over her as she closed her eyes.
The computers began to burn up in a flare. Sparks flew from the pieces of equipment Sonya was tampering with. "Shit!" Parts of the machine erupted from inside, causing the others to move apart. Sonya leapt onto the tops of one, and began to dash through. Sonya took out her compact bungee and fired it. Jumping off of the machine just before it exploded, she shot up at the ceiling. 'This is gonna hurt.' Crossing her arms, she smashed through the roof and into the sky.
"Back up, I need back up!" A foggy plateau loomed over her legs. The building began to emit smoke from the inside. Windows around it broke open, and black smoke came out. "Back up!" The smoke swirled around Sonya as she kept falling. All of a sudden, a static voice came out of her second radio. "Coming right over Sonya! Look to your left!" Turning her head, she saw a high-speed jet passing by. A hatch opened up at the bottom, sucking Sonya in.
"Finally you got here; those freaks down there are really getting messed up." "No problem Sonya!" Sonya turned on her video camera, recording the exploding factory as they passed by. "Jax, I think I need some new batteries. I can't pick up the readings!" "Try the ones on the bottom left containers." Sonya reached into it and took out a cylinder shaped rod. She stuck it into the camera, and it started recording again.
"We better get back to headquarters," she said. "What did you find out Sonya?" "Well, I did locate some files from the Black Dragon. Seems to me like Jarek and his bitches been here recently. The computers were tapped. I could tell from the viruses in it." Jax turned his head back and stared. "Jarek? I thought he died!" "I think he did, but all the clues led up to the Black Dragon's attempts. There's no one else that can pull that kind of thing off."
"How do you explain the factory blowing up then?" "Don't worry, I have evidence from what happened." A small tape slipped out of her pocket. Sonya grabbed it and inserted it into the main controls. "We better tell commander about this," Jax assured, setting the coordinates. A large bang was heard when they finally flew off the island. "Guess that place is blown up now." Jax shook his head. "This isn't going to look good." "Don't worry, I'm sure he won't take this as a threat."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What!" The commander slammed his papers down on the table, making a loud noise when it landed. "Sonya! What the hell did you do?" Sonya closed the door behind her, and took in a deep breath. "I did my job commander. I investigated the facility and then these freaks come out. They were trying to kill me, so I had to destroy the factory so they wouldn't escape." "And what proof of that you might have?" Sonya dug into her pocket and pulled out the tape. "Watch this."
The commander inserted the tape into his computer. "This better be good." A blank screen began to show static. A blurry picture began to take shape; it showed Sonya holding out a gun at a man. "What was happening then?" "They just came out of nowhere and began to attack. I think they were after me because I knew a lot about Jarek and his gang." "The Black Dragon?" Commander raised his eyebrow in disbelief. "Did you have any time to search through the files on the disk?"
"Yes, I did. I found a file on Cano and Jarek. They were there before, as it seems." As the tape continued on, the picture broke out. The last thing Commander could see was Sonya escaping through the roof. "A very dramatic escape I presume?" Sonya managed to crack a smile at the comment. The commander took off his glasses and glanced over at Sonya. "Lt. Blade, I'm thinking that this mission was far too difficult for you." "No, it wasn't." "Sonya, I think we've given too many missions for you and your partner. I'm thinking, a break from your work?"
Sonya groaned at the idea. "What do you mean? Me take a break from my job?" "Sonya, this may be a good thing for you. You are one of our top agents, but I think that every once in a while we all need to take a vacation." "Commander, I have a job to do here. I can't just slack off while everyone else is working. That's not me." "I think you're overreacting. When you return, you may continue to protect out citizens. For now, I think a vacation is best."
Sonya crossed her arms and sighed. "Where am I supposed to go then?" The commander smiled and took out two plane tickets from his drawer. "We at the U.S. Special Forces decided to send you and one friend to the Caribbean's! There, you will relax, soak up some rays, and even be able to meet new people. You will be flying first class going there and back." Sonya rolled her eyes in awe. "How long did you plan this commander?" "A long time. We were going to give this to you sooner, but you were just too stubborn to go. Now's the best time."
"I'll have to think about this commander. I doubt this will get me to be more relaxed during work, but I might consider." Sonya left the office, slamming the door behind her back. She walked up to Jax's back and nudged him. Jax turned his head, "What?" "Listen, the commander gave me two plane tickets to go to the Caribbean, so I can have a decent vacation. Should I go?" Jax leered at her about the idea. "Hell yea. Come on Sonya, it's the Caribbean!"
"Jax, I don't think I should go. We have a duty to uphold here," she said. "You should feel lucky you're going to go there! You can go windsurfing, swimming, and even meet some cute guys. I know I'd go, to meet some hot babes on the beach." "Stop exaggerating Jax. You're not going." "I know I'm not, but think of all the opportunities you have now." Sonya turned her back at Jax, and walked away. "Come on Sonya!"
She walked back into the office, just as commander was about to stash away the tickets. "You're back! Have you decided yet Lt. Blade?" "Well, I really want to go. However, my duties are here. So I don't think I can go. I mean, where will I stay?" The commander's eyes gleamed at the remark. 'That's not a good sight,' she thought. "Well," the commander started, "you will be staying at a very luxurious hotel. You will have access to a country club as well as the new nightclub going on! Did I mention that it's all expenses paid?"
Jax's heart began to pound heavily. "Damn commander, all expenses paid?" "That's right Jackson, all expenses paid. You don't have to pay a single penny, except for snacks of course." Jax nudged Sonya's shoulder. "Sonya, we are in the house! A free trip to the Caribbean. Who can say no to that?" "I can!" Sonya screamed. Commander pounded his fist on the table. "Sonya, come on. You really need a vacation. I'm doing you a favor here. You and Jax can both go." "Fine, I'll go. If it'll make you stop talking to me." Commander's smile became a firm grin. "You're flight leaves in two hours..."
Later that day, Sonya and Jax boarded first class on their flight. As they boarded, they couldn't help but notice a man taking aboard a large piece of luggage. Sonya guessed it was a very bug vacation for him too. "First class seats right up here," the flight attendant appointed. As they passed by, Jax couldn't help but stare at her legs. "Hmm, I wish we had her for a secretary back at the office." "Whatever Jax."
Sonya pulled open her compartment and threw in her bag. A small pistol dropped out. Jax noticed it and grabbed for it. "Damn Sonya, how the hell did you get this aboard?" "Shut-up Jax. I found a way. I only brought it up here just in case something bad happens." Jax gave her the gun, and she zipped it back into her pack. "Passengers, we are ready for take off." Sonya and Jax sat down on their comfortable leather chairs. She looked around and saw only five more passengers aboard. "Gee, not very many people are aboard this part." "Who cares?"
As the plane left the docking area, Sonya reached under her seat and pulled out her radio laptop. "Why did you bring that?" Jax asked. "In case I need to reach commander. I'm not just going to have a vacation you know." Sonya inserted her floppy disk, revealing profiles on the Black Dragon. Jax reached over and nudged her shoulder. "You're still mad about your partner's death?" Sonya shook her head and continued to look up the files.
"Jarek, that bitch." Sonya punched in a couple of keys and a low quality photo of Jarek appeared. "Remember at the last tournament Jax? Jarek was there, and he tried to kill me." "Don't worry about it Sonya. He's gone now." Jax opened up a bag of peanuts and filled his mouth with the salty substance. "Are you sure? I have a sick feeling he's still out there." Sonya closed her laptop as dinner was being served.
"So, what do you think we should do when we get there?" Jax asked, stuffing a piece of boiled chicken into his mouth. "Will that be chicken or beef, miss?" The attendant asked. "Chicken please." She grabbed her food and opened up the seat in front of her. "Well Jax, I haven't really decided yet," she said, watching the attendant pour some tea into her cup. "Maybe we should go swimming first, and then soak up some rays." "That's a plan."
About five hours later, their plane arrived at the coast of Jamaica. The hot sunny beach awaited them as Sonya and Jax got off the plane, carrying their packs. As they got off of the plane, a man greeted them near the entrance. "Hello there," he said, shaking Sonya's hand. "Welcome to Jamaica. You two are from the US Special Forces Association, correct?" Jax nodded his head, and he continued. "I will be your guide for the next ten minutes or so. I will take you to your hotel, as well as showing you the country club."
"We get access to a country club? That's cool," Jax cried. The guide nodded, and began to walk into the gates. "If you will follow me, I will show you to your ride." Sonya and Jax both nodded, and followed him as they walked past the security systems at the airport. "Shouldn't we check our luggage first?" She asked. "Don't worry, they'll be in your room by the time we're through." Sonya turned her head at Jax, and all he could do was shrug. "Come on, let's go," the man urged.
As they exited through the entrance of the terminal, Sonya couldn't help but feel someone spying on them. She turned her head back and forth, but saw nothing wrong. "Ms. Blade is there something wrong?" The man asked. Sonya shook her head, and they continued. Disturbing thoughts began to enter her head. She could feel it. Someone was spying on her. A sudden shock of feeling entered her neck. "Hmm..." Sonya looked back and grabbed the hand touching her.
Looking back, she saw a familiar face touching her shoulder. "Well, what do we have here? Just another spineless jellyfish I presume?" Sonya released his hand, and began to grin. "What are you doing here Kurtis?" Sonya asked. "Stryker? You're here?" Jax cried. Indeed it was. He was still wearing the same uniform he wore when he was fighting with them. The badge represented him a true hero in his city.
"I thought you were dead!" Jax cried. "Well," Stryker started," I guess I'm not dead. I didn't know you guys were here in Jamaica." Sonya crossed her arms in awe. 'He should have died,' she thought. "How've you been Sonya?" He asked. "That's none of your business, Kurtis." She said. "Hey, call me Stryker." "Fine, Kurtis." Sonya appointed the guide to keep walking. Sonya followed, and urged Jax to do the same. "Hey, let me come with you," Stryker proclaimed.
"No," Sonya cried. Stryker took some steps back and laughed. "You're not still mad at me about that time when I..." Sonya ran forward and slapped his cheek. "I told you to never mention that night again." Stryker rubbed his cheek, getting rid of the pain. "Calm down Sonya. Did you grow an attitude over the years?" "I guess I did." Sonya and the guide left the building, causing the high-intensified energy to rush in. "Don't worry Stryker, just follow me," Jax said, grabbing his pack.
Afterwards, Sonya saw a large limosine parked in front of the entrance. "Is that limo supposed to be here?" She asked. "Well it's your ride," the guide said. He opened up the door, revealing black, velvet seats. 'Wow.' Sonya stepped inside and felt the cool air breathe through her skin. Inside, were two more side seats, each one containing mints and beverages stashed next to it. A small TV was at the side, along with a box of hot, baked pizza.
"Is this all just for us?" She asked. The guide nodded, and tolded her to enter the seat. She dived into the side one with her own personal window. Jax followed in after that. "This is tight man. A free limo, just for us!" "We aren't keeping it Jax, just borrowing it!" After Jax comfortably sat down on his seat, Stryker came in. "Wait! What the hell is he doing here?" "Come on Sonya, why are you trippin'?" Jax asked. The guide closed the door. Sonya turned her head away from Stryker, staring at the pizza boxes.
"Come on Sonya, what's the big deal?" Stryker asked. Sonya ignored his remark and took a slice of pizza from the boxes. "Sonya, what is wrong? You're not still mad at me about..." Sonya dropped the pizza into her plate and covered his mouth. "I told you never to talk about that ever again!" She said. The limo began to move, and the TV blinked on, showing a movie director on the screen. "I would just like to give a big thanks to everyone that helped contribute to the making of the movie so far. I feel so warm inside that Johnny Cage has agreed to make a sequel if this movie becomes a hit."
Jax stared at Sonya while she was flipping through the channels. "Hey Sonya, what are you doing? Stop flipping through the channels. You've done that for the past two minutes!" Jax grabbed the remote away from her. "Hey, I was using that!" "Come on Sonya, what's the big deal?" "Shut up Stryker," she exclaimed. Stryker leered at her a little. "Sir, where are we going now?" She asked. "Well, we are stopping by the hotel first. After that, then I can take you anywhere you want."
Sonya nodded in understandment. She turned back to her pizza, which was getting pretty cold by now. "All right, what should we do to start our vacation?" She asked. "Well, we could..." Stryker started. Sonya silenced him before he could finish. "I was talking to Jax." Stryker chuckled, and grabbed her hand. "Don't touch me!" She cried, taking back in her hand. 'Don't worry Stryker ol' boy. You'll win her heart someday,' Stryker shook the thought from his head and grabbed a slice of pizza for his own.
Jax turned off the small TV and yawned. "So Sonya, did you hear about Johnny's new movie?" She nodded in response. "Yea, it's about him saving these two girls from a villain. I think that idea's been taken though." "Should we go check it out?" Jax asked. "You know where it is being filmed right now though?" "It's being filmed right here. But I don't think we can see him, we have to get invited to go." The guide stopped the car suddenly on the red light.
"Forgive me for interfering with your conversation, but do you want to go to Mr. Cage's shoot later? I will gladly arrange the trip for you if you'd like." "That's an idea. Maybe we should go check it out, we do have time," she replied. Sonya nodded, and the guide continued to drive on. Sonya lay on her back and sighed. Smiling, she gazed up at the window above her. 'So, we finally meet again Johnny Cage. I wonder if he still likes me...'
When they reached the hotel, Sonya got out first and stretched her arms out. "So we finally made it. This place isn't too shabby." Stryker and Jax both got out at the same time, and fell down hard. "So boys, shall we check in?" Sonya asked hysterically. The guide helped Sonya grab her bags from the trunk. "Don't worry, I got it," she said, taking it off his hands. "Well, thank you. Those were pretty heavy," he said.
Jax and Stryker grabbed their packs afterwards, heading inside the grand hotel. Inside, they could see a clear glass chandelier dangling high above them. The ground was made of a rare marble, and the desks around them were covered with flowers smelling with great fragrance. The guide bid farewell behind them and went into a small coffee shop. Sonya, Jax, and Stryker went up to the desks and ringed the bell.
A scrawny old woman popped out, checking her glasses. "Can I help you?" She asked. "We would like to register into this hotel. I think it has already been paid," Sonya said, clutching her credit card in her hand. "Well, we will also need proof and the ID number, as well as the holder's name." Sonya reached into her pocket and pulled out her cello phone. "Could you wait just a moment?" She asked. The lady nodded silently as Sonya pressed the small buttons.
"Commander is that you?" "Oh Sonya, glad to hear from you. How's your trip going so far?" "Fine, but we need to get some information to check in at the hotel." "All right, let me speak to her." Sonya handed the lady her phone. She pressed a few buttons and said goodbye, giving it back to Sonya. "Now, would you all like separate rooms or would you like all of you to be in one big room? It's about ten PM, and you know what that means." She grinned over at Stryker.
Stryker managed to giggle. 'Damn, what is this lady kidding? A night with Sonya in bed would be perfect!' "It's separate," said Sonya. The lady grinned even more now. "Childs play I see. Would you like each door be connected to another room?" "Yes!" Stryker spoke out. Before Sonya could protest, the room was already set, and a beep sound came through. "Enjoy your stay. Here are your keys. One of your bellboys will help you out near the elevator."
Sonya and Jax thanked her and walked away. As Stryker was leaving, the lady grabbed his shoulder. "Say honey, if you wanna know, my room is down the hall from yours!" Stryker cracked a small smile, and ran off. "Wait, I forgot to ask if you were a virgin! I know I am!" Stryker rolled his eyes. 'An old lady a virgin, give me a break.' He managed to force himself into the elevator before it closed. He bumped into Sonya's chest, causing her radio to fall out.
"Move it Kurtis, I need to get my radio," she hollered. Stryker grabbed her radio before she could, and handed it over. Sonya grabbed it immediantly and stuffed it back into her pocket. "Don't do that again, I can get it myself," she cried. 'Man, she looks so hot when she's mad.' As the door, opened, they took off with their pack, flicking a quarter to the bellboy as the door closed. "Well, that went well," Jax commented, nudging Stryker.
Sonya found their rooms eventually near the vending machines. "Ok, I'll be in here if you need me. Try not to disturb me at night Stryker," she said, closing the door behind her. Jax and Stryker both took the rooms next to them. "You better hit the shower before going to sleep," Jax reminded, stepping into his room. He flipped on the lights, revealing a TV, couch, air conditioner, as well as a king-size bed. "Damn, never been inside one of these fancy rooms before."
Stryker went into his room, and found the same things. A small wooden door was at the side. He figured it lead to Sonya's room. He dropped down his stuff and dropped down on the soft bed. "Maybe I'll go take a peek at what Sonya's doing," he said. Stryker unlocked the room and found Sonya's clothes lying on the ground. Steam was coming into the room. He figured she was taking a shower. Reluctantly, Stryker sneaked into the open gap, and...
"Hey Sonya!" He pushed open the door and saw Sonya rinsing herself off in the shower. Sonya screamed as she saw him staring at her breasts. "Damn it Stryker, get out!" She threw a soap bar at him, hitting his chest and foaming it with bubbles. "Sorry, sorry!" "Get out, get out!" Sonya screamed. She grabbed her towel and pushed opened the door. "Leave Kurtis!" She screamed, pushing him out of the side door. "You look hot by the way!" Sonya groaned and slammed the door, locking it. Stryker tried to pry open the door, but it wouldn't budge.
"Hmm, I wonder is she has implants..." Stryker snickered to himself as he heard Sonya's loud groan.
"Come on, everybody get ready!" The sound of the commander's voice clashed through Sonya's ears. Three thugs were following behind her. "I need back up!" She threw open a capsule containing some type of genetic material. The material formed melted the titanium floor just as Sonya jumped away from it. A high swinging chain was next to her. As the material melted away the ground, she jumped up onto the chains as it kept swinging. The ground melted away completely, and the genetic substance fell into the thugs' hands.
Sonya watched as their hands melted away slowly. They began to scream as the burning sensation covered their entire mouths, filling Sonya's nose with the horrible stench. A small microchip flew from one of their hands. Sonya jumped off the chains and caught it. She pulled open her gear, and swung back onto the metal railings. Holding onto the hard chains, she reached into her pack and pulled out her radio. "This is Lt. Blade, is anybody there? Over!" Only a static sound was heard as a reply.
"This is Lt. Blade, is anyone there?" As Sonya pulled her radio closer, a bullet smashed through it. She dropped the radio, watching it crash and explodes on the ground below. Sonya looked up and saw a masked man holding a gun. He fired another bullet, barely missing Sonya's legs. She dropped down onto the ground and rolled over to the nearby boxes.

"Listen, where are the master controls?" She asked. The man grunted and spitted at Sonya's face. "I'm not telling you anything," he responded. "So be it." Sonya twisted his neck, hearing the spine crack as his head fell over to his shoulder. She dropped him on the ground and kicked his face.
"Over here!" Four hooligans ran through the railings above and took out their handguns. They aimed their guns at Sonya just as she dashed over to the arsenal controls. "Fire!" The bullets crashed down over the machines, causing them to blow up. The electric currents filled the room with an eerie feel. Sonya pulled out her grenade just as the gangsters made a run for it. "Take this!" Sonya chucked the mechanism at them. Taking cover, the entire railings above broke apart. Bones and blood splattered over her as she closed her eyes.
The computers began to burn up in a flare. Sparks flew from the pieces of equipment Sonya was tampering with. "Shit!" Parts of the machine erupted from inside, causing the others to move apart. Sonya leapt onto the tops of one, and began to dash through. Sonya took out her compact bungee and fired it. Jumping off of the machine just before it exploded, she shot up at the ceiling. 'This is gonna hurt.' Crossing her arms, she smashed through the roof and into the sky.
"Back up, I need back up!" A foggy plateau loomed over her legs. The building began to emit smoke from the inside. Windows around it broke open, and black smoke came out. "Back up!" The smoke swirled around Sonya as she kept falling. All of a sudden, a static voice came out of her second radio. "Coming right over Sonya! Look to your left!" Turning her head, she saw a high-speed jet passing by. A hatch opened up at the bottom, sucking Sonya in.
"Finally you got here; those freaks down there are really getting messed up." "No problem Sonya!" Sonya turned on her video camera, recording the exploding factory as they passed by. "Jax, I think I need some new batteries. I can't pick up the readings!" "Try the ones on the bottom left containers." Sonya reached into it and took out a cylinder shaped rod.

"This isn't going to look good." "Don't worry, I'm sure he won't take this as a threat."

"Sonya, I think we've given too many missions for you and your partner. I'm thinking, a break from your work?"
Sonya groaned at the idea. "What do you mean? Me take a break from my job?" "Sonya, this may be a good thing for you. You are one of our top agents, but I think that every once in a while we all need to take a vacation." "Commander, I have a job to do here. I can't just slack off while everyone else is working. That's not me." "I think you're overreacting. When you return, you may continue to protect out citizens. For now, I think a vacation is best."
Sonya crossed her arms and sighed. "Where am I supposed to go then?" The commander smiled and took out two plane tickets from his drawer.

"Jax, I don't think I should go. We have a duty to uphold here," she said. "You should feel lucky you're going to go there! You can go windsurfing, swimming, and even meet some cute guys. I know I'd go, to meet some hot babes on the beach." "Stop exaggerating Jax. You're not going." "I know I'm not, but think of all the opportunities you have now." Sonya turned her back at Jax, and walked away. "Come on Sonya!"
She walked back into the office, just as commander was about to stash away the tickets. "You're back! Have you decided yet Lt. Blade?" "Well, I really want to go. However, my duties are here. So I don't think I can go. I mean, where will I stay?" The commander's eyes gleamed at the remark. 'That's not a good sight,' she thought. "Well," the commander started, "you will be staying at a very luxurious hotel. You will have access to a country club as well as the new nightclub going on! Did I mention that it's all expenses paid?"
Jax's heart began to pound heavily. "Damn commander, all expenses paid?" "That's right Jackson, all expenses paid. You don't have to pay a single penny, except for snacks of course." Jax nudged Sonya's shoulder. "Sonya, we are in the house! A free trip to the Caribbean. Who can say no to that?" "I can!" Sonya screamed. Commander pounded his fist on the table. "Sonya, come on.

"You're flight leaves in two hours..."

I only brought it up here just in case something bad happens." Jax gave her the gun, and she zipped it back into her pack. "Passengers, we are ready for take off." Sonya and Jax sat down on their comfortable leather chairs. She looked around and saw only five more passengers aboard. "Gee, not very many people are aboard this part." "Who cares?"
As the plane left the docking area, Sonya reached under her seat and pulled out her radio laptop. "Why did you bring that?" Jax asked. "In case I need to reach commander. I'm not just going to have a vacation you know." Sonya inserted her floppy disk, revealing profiles on the Black Dragon. Jax reached over and nudged her shoulder. "You're still mad about your partner's death?" Sonya shook her head and continued to look up the files.
"Jarek, that bitch." Sonya punched in a couple of keys and a low quality photo of Jarek appeared. "Remember at the last tournament Jax? Jarek was there, and he tried to kill me." "Don't worry about it Sonya. He's gone now." Jax opened up a bag of peanuts and filled his mouth with the salty substance. "Are you sure? I have a sick feeling he's still out there." Sonya closed her laptop as dinner was being served.
"So, what do you think we should do when we get there?" Jax asked, stuffing a piece of boiled chicken into his mouth. "Will that be chicken or beef, miss?" The attendant asked. "Chicken please." She grabbed her food and opened up the seat in front of her. "Well Jax, I haven't really decided yet," she said, watching the attendant pour some tea into her cup. "Maybe we should go swimming first, and then soak up some rays." "That's a plan."
About five hours later, their plane arrived at the coast of Jamaica. The hot sunny beach awaited them as Sonya and Jax got off the plane, carrying their packs. As they got off of the plane, a man greeted them near the entrance. "Hello there," he said, shaking Sonya's hand. "Welcome to Jamaica. You two are from the US Special Forces Association, correct?" Jax nodded his head, and he continued. "I will be your guide for the next ten minutes or so. I will take you to your hotel, as well as showing you the country club."
"We get access to a country club? That's cool," Jax cried. The guide nodded, and began to walk into the gates. "If you will follow me, I will show you to your ride." Sonya and Jax both nodded, and followed him as they walked past the security systems at the airport. "Shouldn't we check our luggage first?" She asked. "Don't worry, they'll be in your room by the time we're through." Sonya turned her head at Jax, and all he could do was shrug. "Come on, let's go," the man urged.
As they exited through the entrance of the terminal, Sonya couldn't help but feel someone spying on them. She turned her head back and forth, but saw nothing wrong. "Ms. Blade is there something wrong?" The man asked. Sonya shook her head, and they continued. Disturbing thoughts began to enter her head. She could feel it. Someone was spying on her. A sudden shock of feeling entered her neck. "Hmm..." Sonya looked back and grabbed the hand touching her.
Looking back, she saw a familiar face touching her shoulder. "Well, what do we have here? Just another spineless jellyfish I presume?" Sonya released his hand, and began to grin. "What are you doing here Kurtis?" Sonya asked. "Stryker? You're here?" Jax cried. Indeed it was. He was still wearing the same uniform he wore when he was fighting with them. The badge represented him a true hero in his city.
"I thought you were dead!" Jax cried. "Well," Stryker started," I guess I'm not dead. I didn't know you guys were here in Jamaica." Sonya crossed her arms in awe. 'He should have died,' she thought. "How've you been Sonya?" He asked. "That's none of your business, Kurtis." She said. "Hey, call me Stryker." "Fine, Kurtis." Sonya appointed the guide to keep walking. Sonya followed, and urged Jax to do the same. "Hey, let me come with you," Stryker proclaimed.
"No," Sonya cried. Stryker took some steps back and laughed. "You're not still mad at me about that time when I..." Sonya ran forward and slapped his cheek. "I told you to never mention that night again." Stryker rubbed his cheek, getting rid of the pain. "Calm down Sonya. Did you grow an attitude over the years?" "I guess I did." Sonya and the guide left the building, causing the high-intensified energy to rush in. "Don't worry Stryker, just follow me," Jax said, grabbing his pack.
Afterwards, Sonya saw a large limosine parked in front of the entrance. "Is that limo supposed to be here?" She asked. "Well it's your ride," the guide said. He opened up the door, revealing black, velvet seats. 'Wow.' Sonya stepped inside and felt the cool air breathe through her skin. Inside, were two more side seats, each one containing mints and beverages stashed next to it. A small TV was at the side, along with a box of hot, baked pizza.
"Is this all just for us?" She asked. The guide nodded, and tolded her to enter the seat. She dived into the side one with her own personal window. Jax followed in after that. "This is tight man. A free limo, just for us!" "We aren't keeping it Jax, just borrowing it!" After Jax comfortably sat down on his seat, Stryker came in. "Wait! What the hell is he doing here?" "Come on Sonya, why are you trippin'?" Jax asked. The guide closed the door. Sonya turned her head away from Stryker, staring at the pizza boxes.
"Come on Sonya, what's the big deal?" Stryker asked. Sonya ignored his remark and took a slice of pizza from the boxes. "Sonya, what is wrong? You're not still mad at me about..." Sonya dropped the pizza into her plate and covered his mouth. "I told you never to talk about that ever again!" She said. The limo began to move, and the TV blinked on, showing a movie director on the screen. "I would just like to give a big thanks to everyone that helped contribute to the making of the movie so far. I feel so warm inside that Johnny Cage has agreed to make a sequel if this movie becomes a hit."
Jax stared at Sonya while she was flipping through the channels. "Hey Sonya, what are you doing? Stop flipping through the channels. You've done that for the past two minutes!" Jax grabbed the remote away from her. "Hey, I was using that!" "Come on Sonya, what's the big deal?" "Shut up Stryker," she exclaimed. Stryker leered at her a little. "Sir, where are we going now?" She asked. "Well, we are stopping by the hotel first. After that, then I can take you anywhere you want."
Sonya nodded in understandment. She turned back to her pizza, which was getting pretty cold by now. "All right, what should we do to start our vacation?" She asked. "Well, we could..." Stryker started. Sonya silenced him before he could finish. "I was talking to Jax." Stryker chuckled, and grabbed her hand. "Don't touch me!" She cried, taking back in her hand. 'Don't worry Stryker ol' boy. You'll win her heart someday,' Stryker shook the thought from his head and grabbed a slice of pizza for his own.
Jax turned off the small TV and yawned. "So Sonya, did you hear about Johnny's new movie?" She nodded in response. "Yea, it's about him saving these two girls from a villain. I think that idea's been taken though." "Should we go check it out?" Jax asked. "You know where it is being filmed right now though?" "It's being filmed right here. But I don't think we can see him, we have to get invited to go." The guide stopped the car suddenly on the red light.
"Forgive me for interfering with your conversation, but do you want to go to Mr. Cage's shoot later? I will gladly arrange the trip for you if you'd like." "That's an idea. Maybe we should go check it out, we do have time," she replied. Sonya nodded, and the guide continued to drive on. Sonya lay on her back and sighed. Smiling, she gazed up at the window above her. 'So, we finally meet again Johnny Cage. I wonder if he still likes me...'
When they reached the hotel, Sonya got out first and stretched her arms out. "So we finally made it. This place isn't too shabby." Stryker and Jax both got out at the same time, and fell down hard. "So boys, shall we check in?" Sonya asked hysterically. The guide helped Sonya grab her bags from the trunk. "Don't worry, I got it," she said, taking it off his hands. "Well, thank you. Those were pretty heavy," he said.
Jax and Stryker grabbed their packs afterwards, heading inside the grand hotel. Inside, they could see a clear glass chandelier dangling high above them. The ground was made of a rare marble, and the desks around them were covered with flowers smelling with great fragrance. The guide bid farewell behind them and went into a small coffee shop. Sonya, Jax, and Stryker went up to the desks and ringed the bell.
A scrawny old woman popped out, checking her glasses. "Can I help you?" She asked. "We would like to register into this hotel. I think it has already been paid," Sonya said, clutching her credit card in her hand. "Well, we will also need proof and the ID number, as well as the holder's name." Sonya reached into her pocket and pulled out her cello phone. "Could you wait just a moment?" She asked. The lady nodded silently as Sonya pressed the small buttons.
"Commander is that you?" "Oh Sonya, glad to hear from you. How's your trip going so far?" "Fine, but we need to get some information to check in at the hotel." "All right, let me speak to her." Sonya handed the lady her phone. She pressed a few buttons and said goodbye, giving it back to Sonya. "Now, would you all like separate rooms or would you like all of you to be in one big room? It's about ten PM, and you know what that means." She grinned over at Stryker.
Stryker managed to giggle. 'Damn, what is this lady kidding? A night with Sonya in bed would be perfect!' "It's separate," said Sonya. The lady grinned even more now. "Childs play I see. Would you like each door be connected to another room?" "Yes!" Stryker spoke out. Before Sonya could protest, the room was already set, and a beep sound came through. "Enjoy your stay. Here are your keys. One of your bellboys will help you out near the elevator."
Sonya and Jax thanked her and walked away. As Stryker was leaving, the lady grabbed his shoulder. "Say honey, if you wanna know, my room is down the hall from yours!" Stryker cracked a small smile, and ran off. "Wait, I forgot to ask if you were a virgin! I know I am!" Stryker rolled his eyes. 'An old lady a virgin, give me a break.' He managed to force himself into the elevator before it closed. He bumped into Sonya's chest, causing her radio to fall out.
"Move it Kurtis, I need to get my radio," she hollered. Stryker grabbed her radio before she could, and handed it over. Sonya grabbed it immediantly and stuffed it back into her pocket. "Don't do that again, I can get it myself," she cried. 'Man, she looks so hot when she's mad.' As the door, opened, they took off with their pack, flicking a quarter to the bellboy as the door closed. "Well, that went well," Jax commented, nudging Stryker.
Sonya found their rooms eventually near the vending machines. "Ok, I'll be in here if you need me. Try not to disturb me at night Stryker," she said, closing the door behind her. Jax and Stryker both took the rooms next to them. "You better hit the shower before going to sleep," Jax reminded, stepping into his room. He flipped on the lights, revealing a TV, couch, air conditioner, as well as a king-size bed. "Damn, never been inside one of these fancy rooms before."
Stryker went into his room, and found the same things. A small wooden door was at the side. He figured it lead to Sonya's room. He dropped down his stuff and dropped down on the soft bed. "Maybe I'll go take a peek at what Sonya's doing," he said. Stryker unlocked the room and found Sonya's clothes lying on the ground. Steam was coming into the room. He figured she was taking a shower. Reluctantly, Stryker sneaked into the open gap, and...
"Hey Sonya!" He pushed open the door and saw Sonya rinsing herself off in the shower. Sonya screamed as she saw him staring at her breasts. "Damn it Stryker, get out!" She threw a soap bar at him, hitting his chest and foaming it with bubbles. "Sorry, sorry!" "Get out, get out!" Sonya screamed. She grabbed her towel and pushed opened the door. "Leave Kurtis!" She screamed, pushing him out of the side door. "You look hot by the way!" Sonya groaned and slammed the door, locking it. Stryker tried to pry open the door, but it wouldn't budge.
"Hmm, I wonder is she has implants..." Stryker snickered to himself as he heard Sonya's loud groan.
