Chapter 13
Terri was kept informed about everything as it was happening. The mission to rescue Kamil's family went without a hitch. They only hoped that they wouldn't figure out it was a rescue mission. That the Iraqi leaders believed they were trying to get information from them.
Terri got up and got ready for work. Dorothy could not believe Terri was going to work, while Stiles was missing. "Mom, I need to do this. I can't just sit here waiting anymore. I have a better chance of finding out what's going on while I'm at work." Dorothy knew she couldn't say anything to convince her, she gave Terri a hug and asked her to let her know if she hears anything. Terri smiled and drove to work.
She played the tape Stiles had left for her of him singing "My Best Friend", she would always consider it their song. She couldn't help smiling just thinking about her wedding. It was perfect. Part of the reason she wanted to be back at work was she didn't have to hide the fact that she is Mrs. Stiles. She liked being called that. She wanted and needed to hear that.
Terri arrived at OTS in time to meet Joshua and Lex on their way to get coffee. "Mrs. Stiles why don't you join us." Joshua said "It's great to have you back at work. You know how much I need you here." Terri laughed.
The three of them sat in the cafeteria talking. "I understand Stiles looked good in the tape they sent."
"Yes he did." Terri said with a smile. "I know everything is going to be ok now."
Terri went back to her desk and waited for word. Kamil's family was brought to DC. They showed his wife the tape. "We will do everything we can to bring your husband here safely." Gage told her. "I want you to meet Mrs. Stiles. Your husband met her and her husband, the man in the tape when he was here."
Gage called Terri into the office. After meeting her, she liked her right away. The two of them had a lot in common right now. They were both waiting to see if their husbands would be ok.
A few weeks later the news showed the US forces making it into Baghdad. The Iraqi's were experiencing freedom for the first time. They were cheering the American soldiers. Knocking down statues of Saddam Hussein. The men that were to rescue Kamil and Stiles went to the underground prison where he was supposed to be. They called into Central Command, who relayed the message to Gage and General Stiles.
Terri, Joshua, Jackson, Vicki and Lex were watching the reports on the news in Joshua's office. Terri was sure that Stiles would be home soon. Joshua's phone rang. "Yes sir, I'll send her up." he looked at Terri. "You are wanted in the director's office." Terri got up with a smile and hurried to Gage's office, she was sure this was good news. "Sir have they found Stiles?" Joshua sat down and put his head in his hands after what he heard."
Vicki just looked at "What happened?"
Terri walked in the office with a big smile, she wasn't prepared for what she was about to hear. She was expecting them to tell her Stiles was on his way home. As soon as she saw the expressions on their faces, she sat down and started to cry.
