A/N: Okay, I think this might be all folks, except for fixing it and tweaking some more…
Undercover- part 8
So, the wedding was the target after all, I really had suspected the honeymoon to be more of a target…The Chief rubbed his chin thoughtfully upon hearing Jason's report.
"I'm glad you're all okay. Oren and Diane are postponing their wedding and honeymoon. The wedding date and location will be top secret and will most likely be 'toned down' a bit to avoid any unwanted guests. You three did a hell of a job out there, considering you were down two members."
"Yeah, where are Mark and Prin, anyway? We should've heard from them by now." Jason leaned up against the doorway and eyed his communicator.
"I know. There's been a huge snowstorm in the Wintergreen Resort vicinity." Anderson leaned forward in his desk. "I haven't heard from them since it started. Their communicators have been blocked, and I only get Mark's voice mail when I try his cell phone."
"Can we trace it?" Keyop suggested.
"Exactly what I had in mind, Keyop, I have the coordinates of his cell phone for you. I'd like for you three to take the Phoenix to that area and search for them."
"What are we waiting for?" Jason motioned for the others to follow. "Let's go!"
Mark and Princess reveled in their time alone, but were eager to get out and complete their mission.
"Oren and Diane will be arriving tonight, and we're stuck in this abandoned cabin on the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere!" Frustrated, the Eagle punched at the cabin wall.
"Don't worry, Mark, the storm is bound to end soon, and Oren and Diane's plane will be delayed or even cancelled in this weather." She stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders in an effort to comfort him.
By late afternoon, they were feeling a bit weak and tired. "I hope the others are ok…I hate being out of contact during a mission…they might need us…and we're of no use to them here…" He sat down on the couch contemplating his next move. Princess sat next to him and laid her head on his shoulder.
The Phoenix landed in a smooth snowy field. The three birds exited through the top bubble.
"Leave no stone unturned, we gotta find them!" Jason yelled through the storm.
"Stones? What stones? There's nothing but snow and ice here!" Tiny noticed the trees bent down under mounds of snow. "There's been an avalanche here!" Tiny waved excitedly at the other two. "Quick, Mark and Princess must be buried alive!"
They all began digging frantically when Keyop uncovered Mark's cell phone.
"He's here! He's here!" He shouted to the others.
"Hold on, short stuff…" Jason noticed two large holes dug into the snow, not far from each other. "I think they're still alive!"
If I were you, Mark, where would I go? He grasped his chin and scanned the horizon. At the very edge, he noticed part of a cabin, half covered in snow. "THAT'S IT!" He tore off toward the cabin. The other two followed.
They forced their way into the cabin. Mark and Princess were cuddled up together on the couch.
"Well, don't you two look cozy…" Jason smiled sarcastically at the couple. He leaned an arm against the doorway.
They looked surprised to see their comrades and separated from each other immediately.
"What took you so long?" Mark returned Jasons' sarcastic grin. It's so good to see them. I was beginning to feel like we'd never see them again.
"Have you two had fun here without us?" Keyop crossed his arms in disgust and pointed his nose into the air.
"Oh, loads…we got stuck in the storm and tossed around in an avalanche…you should try it." Princess smirked at the miffed little bird.
"No thanks, we were too busy kicking Spectra butt…without you!" Keyop made kicking and punching motions to illustrate.
"They hit the wedding, huh?" Mark questioned his second.
"Yeah, nothing we couldn't handle, though, Oren and Diane are safe…and the wedding has been postponed." Jason replied
Tiny rubbed his stomach. " Hey, I wonder what they're going to do with all of that leftover food?"
"Oh Tiny!" The other four teammates scolded him in unison.
"C'mon, let's get back to the Phoenix and go home, we're starved, we haven't eaten since yesterday…" Mark stood up and motioned for them all to leave, and put his arm around the Swan.
His new tenderness with her didn't go unnoticed by the others.
"Well, Tiny says there's plenty to eat at the reception…I guess we can't let it go to waste…" Princess glanced over and winked to Tiny.
"My thoughts exactly…" Tiny said as he followed them out of the cabin.
