CHAPTER 6

It was nearing the twelve hour time limit for the bomb to explode when Terri was shot so, while Stiles was running toward the barn, the remaining guards were removing Terri so Elizabeth could remove the Symtex. As soon as it was removed, the guard threw it back toward the barn, climbed in the van with Terri and Joshua and took off.

Joshua stared at Terri's limp body as he sat across from Kim in the van. "We have to get her to a hospital."

"Her wound should not be life-threatening. It appears that she was shot in her shoulder. Elizabeth will take care of her while we are in transit."

"Are you a doctor now?" Joshua was getting loud. He felt bad enough that his friend had to be kidnapped, but he couldn't stand the thought of having to watch her die.

"Even if the wound doesn't kill her, it may very well kill her baby."

"She's pregnant?"

Elizabeth answered for Joshua. "Yes, she told me earlier. She seemed to be telling the truth."

Kim had in mind housing a single CIA agent for his country's intelligence purposes. He did not have in mind running a maternity ward.

"Joshua, you should have told me sooner. This changes things considerably."

Joshua looked down at Terri while holding her lifeless hand, hoping more than believing that she would be well. "As you heard, I was unaware of Mrs. Stiles condition." Looking up, Joshua addressed his Korean counterpart. "What do you mean this changes things considerably? What are you going to do, you said she wouldn't be harmed."

"As I told you, she will be a valuable asset to our technical support operation and to me in the future. However, I was not planning on a child. If the baby survives your friend's injury, my people and I will have to discuss our options. I'm sorry it had to be this way Joshua, but I warned you what would happen if your people got too close."

Joshua returned his gaze to his younger colleague and whispered to her, "I'm so sorry, Terri. I never meant for any of this to happen." As Joshua was talking to Terri, the van stopped.

Joshua was ushered out of the van by one of Kim's men. "I'll be in contact." Kim slammed the door and the van took off, leaving Joshua on the side of the road.

As Joshua approached the barn, he saw the FBI agents arriving. When Stiles saw Joshua her ran to toward him to give them a few moments before the FBI got too close. He also wanted to shake some answers from Joshua. Grabbing him, Stiles shook Joshua and started demanding answers. "How could you let them blow her up"

"Mr. Stiles!" Stiles kept yelling, the same thing over and over.

"How could you? She is supposed to be your friend!"

"Mr. Stiles!", Joshua finally got the younger man's attention. "They took the Semtex off before the explosion; Mr. Kim has her. What you saw was left to destroy any evidence."

Stiles breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Joshua, but stayed toe-to-toe with him.

"So she's with them? You let them take her. Do you have any idea what they will do to her if she gets to Korea? Tell me where they are going-now!"

"I don't know. She was shot Mr. Stiles, she needs medical attention. Maybe they'll take her to a hospital."

Joshua did not know the exact location, but he did know she would be on a truck out of the state within the hour. Since any medical needs she had would be taken care of by Elizabeth, they would probably leave the country with Terri the next day-assuming she survived.

Stiles did not believe a word out of Joshua's mouth. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Joshua's head.

"Where-are-they-taking-her?"

Joshua looked into Stiles' eyes and could see his rage and fear. Joshua was beside himself. "Mr. Stiles, we cannot go after them. Trust me on this."

Stiles cocked the gun, took a deep breath and let out a mirthless laugh. "Trust you? Trust you?! You're the reason we're in this situation! I'm going to ask you this one more time and then we'll find her without you. Where are they taking her?"

"Mr. Stiles, I care for her a great deal; she's like a daughter to me. You have to know that I would never intentionally hurt her, but this situation is out of my hands now. If I thought we could rescue her by running after them, I would go with you, but if we get too close, they will kill her. We have-."

"If they haven't already. She's pregnant Joshua. "

"I am truly sorry."

"How can you look at yourself in the mirror every day?"

Stiles saw agent Shelton approaching. He was no fool, so he put away his gun and stepped back.

"Good. Now, let's go to headquarters and speak with Mr. Quinn."

Stiles moved closer to Joshua. Joshua sucked in his breath in an effort to calm his breathing; he was a little afraid of Stiles right now. Stiles took a good hard look at Joshua then punched him as hard as he could. "No, why don't I go to headquarters." Stiles looked at Joshua lying on the ground then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

"Stiles, what's going on?" Shelton called after Stiles as he walked away. Stiles pretended he didn't hear her to avoid wasting time explaining.

Stiles called the only person at Langley only one at Langley he was sure he could trust. "Jackson, they got away. They took Terri."

With Lex's help, Jackson began searching small airports; they were afraid to contact the FBI again because of the situation with Joshua.

When Joshua woke up and saw Stiles was gone, he called Quinn to let him know the outcome of their unauthorized mission to rescue Terri. Quinn was sure Stiles would talk to someone so he made his way down to OTS and went straight for the weakest and most innocent link, Lex.

"Lex, have you seen Mr. Haisley?" Lex, still unaware of his boss' situation, innocently gave away what he and Jackson were doing.

"I think he went back to his office. I'm searching more itineraries for him. Is there something I can do for you?"

Quinn had the information he really wanted. "No, but you can tell me if you know where I can find Mr. Nankin and/or Mr. Stiles."

"Uh, no I haven't seen either of them for a while come to think about it. It's been at least an hour. Stiles may have gone to the farm with Agent Shelton."

"Thank you Lex." Quinn was not happy. His stooge had disobeyed his order about going back to get Terri and now he had taken perhaps his best agent with him. Quinn called Stiles in.
