Chapter 14: Heavy Security

Carter arrived at T.J. and Cassie's house and saw that he was too late, Mahesh had already taken Callie. He saw the two parents trying to get to him when he was already gone. "This can't be," he whispered. T.J. and Cassie looked up to find Carter getting out of the car.

"You're too late, Carter, Callie's gone," T.J. told him.

"I can see that. Don't worry, we're going to get her back. Along with the rest of the children," Carter assured them.

"What do we do now?" Cassie asked.

"We return to the Aqua-Base. Your friends, Andros and Ashley are already there."

T.J. and Cassie got in the car and they went to the Aqua-Base.

Ashley was walking down the hall when she saw her friends arrive. She saw that Cassie was a mess and knew that Callie was gone. She walked over and embraced her friend. "I'm sorry about Callie," she mourned. Cassie looked at Ashley.

"Alex and Alexa?" She asked.

Ashley sadly shook her head before they went to speak to Andros.

Carter entered the meeting room and slammed his hands on the table. Dana walked over and placed a hand on Carter's shoulder. "I can't believe I was too late to save them," he mumbled.

"You're only human, Carter," she reminded.

"Yes, but I'm also a Power Ranger. They must be catching onto our plans."

"Well, Andros has contacted Karone and told her not to come to earth or she'll lose Lacy and Kailey. So, that's another set of children saved."

"Yes, but we have four children missing."

"Four children that are protected and two children that we know of that haven't been targeted yet."

"We have to protect those children."

Dana nodded in agreement. Captain Mitchell came in as if on cue. "I have just the plan. We'll have to put security to a higher level. Dana, you and Carter are going to Silver Hills along with Ryan and Kelsey. You'll be protect Wes and Jen's son while they'll protect Eric and Taylor's daughter," Captain Mitchell instructed.

"Shouldn't we just bring them back here?" Carter asked.

"Give it a day. Tomorrow, travel back here with the family."

They nodded and went to protect the families.

Carter and Dana arrived at Wes and Jen's house and got out of the jeep. "Well, I guess they know how to live," Carter commented. Dana smiled and then they walked to the front door. Carter knocked and the housekeeper answered.

"Hello, how may I help you?" She asked.

"Hi, I'm Carter Grayson and this is my wife, Dana. We're here to see Mr. And Mrs. Collins," Carter replied.

"Yes, they've been waiting for you. Please come in."

They walked over and sat down. Wes and Jen came downstairs and they saw Carter and Dana waiting for them. They greeted their friends and sat down. "Captain Mitchell said that it's urgent, what's going on?" Wes asked. Dana saw Wyatt sleeping in Jen's arms. Jen saw that it had to be something about Wyatt, because of the look on Dana's face.

"What's wrong?" Jen asked.

"Our new enemy is attacking all of the Red Rangers and taking their children. They already have three out of the nine Red Rangers' children," Carter replied.

"And now they're after Wyatt," Wes added.

"Yes," Dana replied.

Jen held her son close and looked at them. "They're not taking Wyatt from us," Jen insisted.

"And they won't not as long as we're here. Tomorrow, we're going to bring you back to the Aqua-Base. That is the only known place where he can be safe. We have our children hidden there and they won't get Wyatt if you come with us," Carter explained.

Wes and Jen looked at each other before agreeing. Tomorrow they were going to travel to the Aqua-Base to keep their son safe.

Ryan and Kelsey arrived at Eric and Taylor's house. They got out of his car and walked to the door. He knocked on the front door and Eric answered. A loud baby cry could be heard in the background. "Ryan, Kelsey, what are you guys doing here?" He asked.

"We came here on an important mission," Ryan replied.

"What mission is that?" Eric asked.

"Let us in and we'll explain," Kelsey replied.

They came in and Taylor came out of the kitchen with a bottle in hand. "Eric, what's going on?" Taylor asked.

"I'm not sure yet," Eric replied.

"I'd love to stay and talk this out, but Erin needs her bottle before she drives me insane," Taylor informed.

She hurried upstairs and Eric led his friends to the living room. "What's going on?" Eric asked.

"Our new enemies are going after every Red Ranger's child. They already have four children. They're next targets are Wes's son and your daughter," Ryan explained.

Eric sat back in disbelief. "The rest of the children they don't have are protected either on the Aqua-Base or on Miranoi," Kelsey added. Ryan nodded and then Taylor came in with the crying infant.

"Eric, it's your turn to take her," she insisted.

Eric took Erin and as soon as the infant entered his arms, she stopped crying. "Daddy's little girl," Taylor commented. She sat down and looked at Ryan and Kelsey. "What's going on?" She asked. Eric sighed and explained everything to his wife. Taylor sat back in disbelief. "They're not getting Erin," she insisted.

"And they won't. We need you to come back to the Aqua-Base with us tomorrow. That's the one place we are sure of they won't take her," Kelsey assured her.

"Taylor, Eric, do you know any other Red Rangers that are fathers?" Ryan asked.

Taylor and Eric looked at each other before Taylor answered the question. "We knew that Alyssa was pregnant, but we're not sure if she had it yet," Taylor replied.

"You haven't kept in contact with them?" Ryan asked.

"We've been busy ourselves," Eric replied.

Ryan looked at Kelsey. "Kelsey, we have to tell dad this," Ryan insisted. Kelsey got up and went to call Captain Mitchell. "If Alyssa had that baby, we're all in huge trouble," he added. Taylor took Erin back into her arms and Eric looked at the Titanium Ranger. Kelsey came back in the living room.

"Someone has to go to Turtle Cove to get Cole and Alyssa," she informed.

Eric stood up. "I'll go," he told them. Taylor looked at him and Eric stared right back at her. "You have to stay with Erin. I can go and get them," Eric assured them.

"It's too dangerous," Kelsey insisted.

"Yeah, but I've been through worse," Eric commented.

"If you're going, then I'm going with you," Ryan insisted.

"Then it's settled. When do we leave?" Eric asked.

"Tomorrow, it'll make it look like we're all returning to Mariner Bay," Ryan replied.

Eric agreed and he sat down next to Taylor again.

Carter and Dana were talking to Wes and Jen when Carter's cell-phone went off. "Carter," he answered.

"Carter, it's Ryan," Ryan answered.

"Ryan, what's going on? Did you find Eric and Taylor?"
"We found them, but we have a problem."

"What's wrong?"

"We just found out that the Red Wild Force Ranger is an expecting father. We're not even sure if his wife even had the kid yet."

"Did you tell the captain?"

"Yes, Eric and I are going to Turtle Cove to retrieve the family."
"What about Kelsey and Taylor?"

"They'll be fine. It'll look like we're all there. We're leaving tomorrow."

"Perfect plan, let's hope it works. We have to be careful though."

"Right, we'll talk once we return to the Aqua-Base."

Carter hung up and explained everything to Dana. "Let's hope it works," she mumbled. Carter nodded and looked at their friends. They knew that they're all in trouble if Mahesh gets Cole's kid, that'd be another family they would fail.
