Silky Doll Twenty-two hours later
Josh and the others dressed in jungle camouflage and waited for the chopper to arrive.
"Are you all ready for this?" Josh asked.
"Yea." They all said.
"Ok the teams are as follow. Kenny, Mike and I and everyone else its husbands and wives. Terry you're the sniper high ground is a quarter of a mile away from the camp." Josh said.
Josh heard the sound of an approaching chopper.
"Sounds like your ride is here lets go." Josh said and they all headed for the roof.
As they got to the roof and chopper came into view and landed. Josh and the others boarded the chopper and it dusted off.
"Welcome back aboard Arrowhead." The pilot said.
"Thanks lets get going." Josh yelled.
"I got all the weapons you needed." A man yelled from behind Josh.
Josh turned and saw Jack in the same camouflage as him.
"You going?" Josh asked.
"I love rescue missions you know that." Jack yelled.
"Beautiful Kenny you and Jack are partners." Josh said. "What's our ETA?" Josh asked.
"One hour." The pilot said.
"Ok." Josh yelled and took a seat.
Fifty minutes later Josh looked outside the chopper and saw that several more choppers were flying alongside them.
"Who are they?" Josh asked.
"I thought we could use some backup." Jack yelled.
"Who are they?" Josh asked.
"The whole 101's airborne rangers seventy-five in all" Jack yelled.
"That's beautiful." Josh yelled and laughed.
"Approaching landing zone." The pilot said.
"Lock and load." Josh yelled and they all loaded their rifles.
One by one the choppers dropped off their loads and dusted off. After all the Rangers were in the field they were dropped in Josh called them all in.
"Ok Rangers I don't know what your briefing was but we're on a rescue mission. There is at least one female a camp that's about 2 miles from here and she is gonna be executed in twenty-four hours unless we get her out." Josh yelled.
"Sir what are the rules of engagement on this mission." One of the Rangers asked.
"Check all the buildings kill anyone that has a weapon." Josh said.
"What's this woman look like?" Another asked.
"Its been two years since I've seen her but she will have brown hair and green eyes. She does not speak English so if you find her secure her and get her to the extraction zone But call me first I'll identify her." Josh yelled.
"Sir exactly who is she?" One of the Rangers asked.
"She's my wife." Josh yelled. "Ok lets move out. Sniper's find high ground overlooking the camp and on my mark everyone drop an enemy."
"Yes Sir." Everyone yelled and they all started running for the camp.
Ten Minutes later all the infantry Rangers were at the tree line looking at the camp.
"Ok snipers on my mark one shot one kill." Josh said into his head set. "Rangers after the snipers fire we move in kill anyone with a weapon. Ok snipers now." He said and several gun shots were heard and Josh saw several men fall to the ground.
"LETS GO!!" Josh yelled and they all rushed out from the trees and headed for the camp.
Linna's cell
Linna was awoken by the sounds of gun fire and she knew exactly what it was.
'Josh.' She thought with a smile.
"Your husbands here." The guard said,
"Yes he is." Linna said. "You should properly put your weapon down."
"Good idea." He said and threw his weapon to the ground and opened the cell. "Stay here until he comes."
"I am." Linna said standing on the bed and looking out a window. "Oh my God."
"What?" The guard asked.
"He brought the Army with him." Linna said looking out the window. "Oh my God. KENNY!! KENNY OVER HERE!!" She yelled.
Kenny heard his name and turned his head.
"LINNA" He yelled and ran to the window. "Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yes just get me out of here." Linna said with tears rolling down her face.
"Josh I found Linna she is at the south west building I need a C-4 charge." Kenny said.
"Is she ok?" Josh asked as he headed for the building."
"Yes she is." Kenny said.
"I'll be there in one minute." Josh said. "Form a perimeter around her."
"Already done." Kenny said.
Josh arrived at the building and looked in.
"What is this the fourth time I've hade to save you?" Josh asked.
"Just get me out of here already." Linna cried.
"Go out of the cell the door is open and go around the corner so I can blow a hole in the wall." Josh said.
"Ok." Linna said and her and the guard went around the corner as Josh placed a C-4 charge on the wall and inserted a detonator.
"Fire in the hole!" Josh yelled and pressed the button on the remote.
The wall exploded into thousands of pieces and Josh ran in before the smoke even cleared. He ran down the hall and around the corner where Linna was standing waiting for the smoke to clear. As soon as she saw Josh come through the smoke she really started to cry realizing she was gonna be on and be back with the man she loved. Josh wrapped his arms around her and was crying as she put hers around him.
"I'm here." Josh said.
"I know. Linna said. "I love you."
"I love you too." Josh said.
"Lets go we need to pull out." Kenny said.
"No." Josh said.
"Priss, Leon, Sylia, Nigel, Nene and Mackey evacuate to the landing zone Knights Evacuate to the LZ. Rangers this is in your hands now kill them all and bring back our dead no one gets left dead or alive." Josh said.
"Yes Sir." Several rangers yelled at once.
"Linna put this on." Josh said handing her a flack jacket. "And take this." He said and handed her an M16A2. "Lets go."
Josh secured the guards hands behind his back and they all ran for the extraction point.
"Arrowhead this is the Knight One we are ready for pickup the Rangers are mopping up the rest." Josh said.
"Roger that Knight One ETA 2 minutes." The pilot said.
As soon as the chopper landed Linna Josh and the others jumped onboard and they dusted off.
A few minutes later when they were out of danger they finally let out a cheer of relief and celebration.
There were many hugs and smiles on the chopper all the way back to the Silky Doll.
"Thanks again Arrowhead." Josh said as they got off the chopper.
"Anytime knights." The pilot said and dusted off and headed back to base to refuel and head back to the camp.
Josh, Linna and the others started walking down the stairs.
"My parents are gonna be shocked to see me." Linna said.
"They will be but their expecting it." Josh said.
"What do you mean?" Linna asked.
"Their down stairs watching the kids." Josh said.
Linna started running down the stairs until she ran into the living room.
"Mom Dad!!" She yelled as she hugged both of them.
"Oh Linna your safe." Lenn said as her eyes filled up with tears.
"Oh God I'm glade to see you." Bill said hugging his daughter.
Josh and the others came walking into the room and stood by watching the reunion.
"You should go to your husband." Lenn said.
Linna turned and faced Josh and started walking towards him and by the time she got half way across the room she was running. She through her arms around him and hugged him tightly. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. Josh leaned down and pressed his lips to hers and they kissed a kiss that has been waiting for two years to be kissed.
"Oh God I love you." Josh said.
"I love you too." Linna said and they kissed again.
After every one was showered and dressed they sat down to a feast that Lenn had cooked up. Afterwards Linna stood up.
"I'd like to stay and talk all night long but I want to go home really bad." She said.
"Well see you tomorrow." Lenn said and hugged her one last time as they walked out of the building.
"Is the apartment is gonna be a mess?" Linna asked.
"No I asked the landlord to keep it clean for me and I paid the rent for 3 years and gave him an extra 10,000 dollars to keep it clean." Josh said,
"Good I want to get in that bed right away." Linna said.
"Tiered aren't you?" Josh asked.
"Not yet." Linna said.
"Then why do you want to get into bed so soon?" Josh asked.
"Well I was hoping you would be in there with me." Linna smiled.
"I see now that you put it that way lets get moving." Josh said.
Josh got the keys from the landlord and unlocked the door. The roof had been fixed and the place was spotless. Linna and Josh headed straight for the bedroom and climbed into bed.
"So I think its time we really started working on a family." Linna said.
"Yea me too." Josh said and turned off the lights.
