Since Stiles and Terri are now secretly married. I've changed some of the scenes to have it play out a little different. This next part involves an Isolated Incident.
Chapter 3
After they found out that Akil was going to be executed because Hamas believed he was spying for the CIA. Stiles was on the phone getting orders from Quinn. As Terri walked out of the bathroom she heard him say. "Sure. There's only a few hundred armed militia in the camp, and I have Terri."
She walked over to the table and sat across from him. "You have Terri what?"
He looked at her. "I'll call you back sir. They want us to save Akil and his family. Snatch him away from Hamas, take him home for debriefing and to stand trial. If we can."
"If we can?"
"If we can."
"Well, there's only a few hundred armed militia." he laughed "And I have you." He looked at her and they both smiled at each other. He called back and got a plan worked out. Tomorrow morning they would try to rescue Akil.
Terri and Stiles climbed into bed. Stiles was worried about how everything would turn out in the morning. Terri could tell. "Stiles, it will all work out."
"I know. You're here to watch my back." Terri laughed.
"I'll always be here to watch your back." Stiles kissed her. "I love you."
Stiles didn't sleep much he just held his wife in his arms and watched her sleep.
Terri went to the prison . Mustafa came running out yelling that the Israeli's were on their way. One of the guards looked at Terri and asked who she was, Stiles shot him with a tranquilizer dart. As Terri and Stiles started to go in they heard "Wait, Against the wall." it was Mustafa, he told them where Akil was and gave them the key. He also said. "It's ok I'm with Mussad." Stiles nodded to him as they went in to get Akil.
Terri and Stiles grabbed Akil. Stiles told him remember "We are the one's rescuing you. They are trying to kill you."
Stiles told him he was working for Israel. Terri looked a him, she saw how much pain Akil was in. Stiles seemed to be enjoying this a little. Stiles had no sympathy for this murderer. Akil was begging them to save his mother and sister.
Stiles waited in the car, while Terri went to get them out of their house. One of the guards asked where she was taking them. Terri said they were going to help at the food distribution center. Another guard looked in the back of the car and saw Akil. They dragged Akil out of the car. Stiles got out of the car with his gun at his side. Stiles told them you only need Akil, not the women or the baby. Akil was crying out to take him and let the rest go. Stiles signaled Terri to go to the car. Terri started moving them to the car. The guards raised their guns at Terri and the women. Stiles was yelling to stop. Mustafa shot Akil. Akil's mother and sister ran to him Terri and Stiles got them in the car. Stiles made sure Terri got in and Stiles walked around, and drove away.
As they drove away, Stiles could see that Terri was upset. "Are you ...."
"I'm fine." He knew she wasn't she seemed to be on the verge of tears. He reached over and took her hand.
"What are you reading?"
"Akil's letter to his wife." she read it out loud. "To do what I did I had to kill my heart first. Not for the sorrow I caused anyone else, but for the sorrow I caused you. The only reason I don't mind dying is alive I could never be with you again." Terri was very touched by his letter.
"How romantic." She just looked at him, she couldn't believe he said that.
"He threw it all away."
"For his tribe, for a thousand year old argument."
She looked at Akil's mother, sister and her baby in the backseat "For them." Stiles looked at her. He knew how sad she was, he squeezed her hand and just continued to hold it. He wanted her to know he was there for her, whether he agreed with her or not.
When they got back, they went home to Terri's place. Terri walked into the kitchen to get something for them to eat. Stiles sat on the couch replaying everything in his mind. He knew Terri was annoyed at him because he didn't see the romance in Akil's letter to his wife.
Terri walked out with sandwiches. He looked at it and it was exactly the way he liked it. Stiles put it down on the table. "I thought you were hungry."
"I want to talk first." Terri looked at him. "Terri, I can't understand what Akil did. I know he was trying to help his mother and sister." Stiles looked at her and brushed a piece of hair that had fallen on her face back. "Terri, you are so much a part of me. I couldn't walk away from you. No matter what."
"I know. I can't imagine what Akil's wife is feeling now."
"I could never put you through that. I love you."
"I love you too." she kissed him. "Let's eat, and then we can go up to bed. Stiles smiled at her. They finished eating and walked up to bed arm in arm.
Stiles and Terri fell asleep holding each other. Stiles began dreaming. In his dream was an attractive black woman standing on the other side of a fence from him. Behind him was a military chopper. The woman was calling him. Then all of a sudden he heard Terri calling him he looked and at another part of the fence was Terri. A mob of people came running at the two women. Both women were calling him to help. He kept looking back and forth from one to the other.
Stiles woke up sat straight up in bed, his heart was racing and he was out of breath. Terri felt him jump up. She sat up. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" she put her arms around him and felt his heart racing. "Stiles what's wrong?"
He put his hand over hers. "Nothing, just a bad dream." he laid back down and pulled Terri close to him. "I love you Mrs. Stiles." he said and faked a smile at her. "Lets just go back to sleep." Terri was too tired to fight with him to tell her about the dream, she just let him hold her, after a while she could feel his heartbeat go back to normal, then Terri finally fell asleep.
Stiles laid awake, he couldn't get back to sleep he couldn't stop his mind from racing. Dacia, he hadn't thought about her in years. He could now see parallels between him and Akil. He walked away from Dacia because of his job, at least Akil did what he did for his mother and sister. Stiles thought about what just happened. What if they would have been willing to let him go, if he left Terri. Would he have done that? No. He was sure he couldn't, but then he did it before. He didn't sleep the rest of the night thinking about this. He just looked at Terri, and wondered if he actually deserved her. He hoped she wouldn't ask him what his nightmare was about, how could he tell her what he did to Dacia, and assure her that he would never do that to her.
