Chapter Five: Moving Mountians
"Bosco?"
"Yeah Jimmy?"
"You okay?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah. Billy?"
"I'm ok. Let's dig out.....we need to find Seajae." Billy started to dig the snow away from the entrance way.
"Billy are you sure your okay?" Jimmy took a step toward his friend.
"I just think we need to get out of here."
"Billy?"
"I'm a little closterphobic....ok." Bosco looked at his friend.
"Take a deep breath buddy. We'll get out of her soon enough." Bosco knew Seajae was okay for now. He felt her in his heart. She would be safe. For now.
"I'm sorry man.....I never felt like this." Billy looked like he was ready to have a complete breakdown.
"Take it easy.....we'll get out of here and get Seajae then get the hell off this mountian. You need to get home to your fiance and little girl." Bosco put his hand on Billy's shoulder. "I won't loose you too man." Jimmy took the shovel off the snowmobile and started digging.
"I hope that big old grizzly decieded to sleep on the other side of the mountian this year." Jimmy laughed.
"You had to go and mention him hah Jimmy." Bosco stated digging too. "I think he's long gone this year. We didn't see him at all last summer or fall."
"Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll dig his way in here."
"We couldn't get that lucky." Bosco continued digging just in case the bear had given up.

Seajae hated the cold. And she was colder then she'd ever been. She was from Texas. Her blood ran warm. She had a husband to keep her warm on those cold New York nights. That's what she wanted now. Her warm husband. Tears threaten to fall. Her face was freezing as it was and she couldn't move.
"Bosco......God please......." Things felt strange and she could barly breath. The snow around her was melting into the air pocket that had formed around her head. "I'm going to die here." She wispered to herself.
"Now what kind of husband would I be if I let you die in a cold snow bank in the middle of nowhere." Seajae knew she was dreaming. Bosco wasn't there in that tight melting air pocket she was in.
"I can't make it Bosco. This is it. I'm going to die on this mountian."
" Seajae Marie Boscorelli your sronger then that."
"No. Bosco I'm not." She heard digging.
"Don't you dare give up on me."
"I......." She felt two strong arms pulling her toward the surface. Seajae was dazed and confused when she felt gloved hands taking the snow from her face. Coughing she looked up to see the faces of stranges. Strangers who wern't dressed for the cold. Strangers that looked like they sepent the night in a cold car. "Who the hell are you?"
"Your worst nightmere little lady." Seajae closed her eyes and opened them again hopping indeed it was a nightmere. The men they stayed away from last night were here now. Three of them. And they had her. Hopefully the kids were safe with Bosco.
"Wish they made cousolers like this when I was a kid. Maybe I would of listened a little more." The man looked at her sholder. Blood stained her jacket. "Got her good we did."
"Your going to hope you killed me."
"Sweetheart the days still young." One man helped her up. The other two looked toward the way she had come. "Nothing left over there. Think the kids are dead?"
"Might be." The man holding Seajae looked at her. "Where were they?"
"The cabin. Sleeping. I took off hoping to be back before they woke up."
"So we kill her and we have no witnesses." The sound of a hammer being pulled back and two rifals being cocked made the men turn.
"Think again ass hole." Bosco stood ten feet away. Billy and Jimmy were on either side of him. "Get your hands off my wife. NOW!" The man holding Seajae let go and she fell to the ground. She was weak from the loss of blood. Bosco went to help her up but she shook her head.
"They have guns.......belts.....sholder holsters."
"Take them out slow guys. I've been itching to make you guys pay for my night out in this feezing hell so don't try anything funny." Bosco watched as the men dropped thier guns next to Seajae and he went to her and helped her to her feet. "You okay?"
"No." Was all she said. He looked at her and knew they needed to get her help fast. "Just take care of them. Bosco the kids?"
"Safe." He brushed the hair from her face. "We're going to get you out of here Sunshine." Bosco picked up the guns the men had dropped. "And by the way guys, whatever you thought those kids overheard, they didn't. Whatever your up to....well I'm sure one of you will fess up to something. Attemted murder charges tend to make people turn on one another. Attempted murder of a police officer brings a bigger stake. You all have till we get back to the city to figure that out." The sound of a helicopter made the groupe look up. Seajae watched the trio in front of her.
"Take cover!" She rolled taking Bosco with her. An echo of gunfire suprised them all. Bosco helped Seajae to the tree line as Jimmy and Billy followed close behind firing back at the low flying chopper. The four scrambled behind a grove of pine trees. "I knew those guys wern't amachures. Damn it." Seajae gripped her arm. "CIA."
"Then we just call Caleb. He'll know how to call then off right?"
"Call them off Jimmy? These guys don't get called off." The helicopter came and hovered just above the ground and the three men got in. With a spray of bullets the helicopter took off and flew south toward the city. "Then again...."
"Too easy. Let's head to Dawson's. We need some help to get out of here."
"Bosco, I don't think I can make it." Seajae looked at her husband.
"Yes you can. We'll carry you if we have to." He looked at Jimmy and Billy.
"We're not leaving you here. No way." Jimmy handed Billy his rifle and hoisted Seajae over his shoulder.
"Brute."
"Keep it up woman and I'll drag you the half mile to Dawson's.....on your head."
"I owe you one Jimmy." Bosco started toward the old man's cabin.
"You owe me a hell of a lot more then that Boscorelli and don't think I'm not keeping track because I am." Fifteen minutes later Jimmy eased Seajae down and leaned her aginst the house. He dug under the rocks and snow to find the extra key.
"Okay, I got a question." Billy sat on the frount step. "Who the hell do we call? I mean isn't the CIA the mother of all agencies. If they want us dead.....who's going to save us?"
"We call the president?" Jummy unlocked the door. "Hey Seaj? You still got his number don't you?" When she didn't answer he looked over at her. Her eyes were closed. "Don't you dare give up on me now woman after I halled your ass here in waist high snow!" He bent down and checked her paulse.
"Quit yelling Jimmy. I didn't get much sleep last night." She opened her eyes to see three men who would move mountians for her. Panic filled thier eyes. "Im down but I'm not out guys." She smiled weakly. "And I think if we can just get someone to get us out of here we'll have a fighting chance. Call Caleb. He'll find a way." Bosco carried Seajae in and put her down on the couch.
"I'll start a fire." Billy said as he took off his coat. He watched Bosco tenderly take off Seajae's jacket. Her arm bloody and swollen. He wondered what Olivia and Miranda were doing right now. Worring about him no doubt. He smiled as he made quick work of the fire. Seajae had done so much for so many people. Her friends would do anything for her. Including going up agaist the CIA. She had done so much for them, now it was payback.
Sorry it took so long I had writers block so bad it took a wrecking crew to break down the wall. I promise it won't take so long next time.
"Bosco?"
"Yeah Jimmy?"
"You okay?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah. Billy?"
