Sonny had never felt this helpless. He braced himself against one of the only unturned desks and surveyed the broken room. Blackburn was furiously trying to get ISR up and running as well as tap into the security cameras from the facility but he was working alone. Two of his team members were dead and two were missing. He had been working on it for over thirty minutes - thirty minutes that Lisa was still with her captors. Sonny knew all too well what could happen to someone in thirty minutes. Torture took seconds.
Sonny fought the urge to scream and put both hands on his head, looking to the sky. He wasn't a man to pray often, but he felt this situation warranted it. He prayed for Lisa's safe return and for her to be unharmed and untouched. Sonny would do anything.
"Got something!" Blackburn said loudly. Sonny and the other members of Bravo rushed to stand behind him and waited for the grainy video footage of the outside of the embassy to load which could take minutes. The country they were in was a very old, very poor, and very crime ridden place. Their embassy was minimally staffed and many employees lacked in competency. According to Davis, Jane had been the only employee with any insight on the region, possible roadblocks, and any kind of matter that could have affected the project.
When this mission came across Blackburn's desk, he had shared with the team that he was unsure of how it would go with so little support. But the higher ups were firm - they needed to make sure that this arms dealer was out of business in order to provide stability to the region. It also didn't hurt that this particular arms dealer was selling weapons to anti-western terrorist organizations. This guy had been on the most wanted list for years.
It had seemed like a quick grab mission once the intel had been verified. Sonny had had very few reservations in the beginning. Good intel put information in a residence not far from town and though heavily guarded, it was nothing Bravo hadn't handled before. Bravo completed the job quickly; downloaded the information to the harddrive which then immediately locked anyone else out. Command would decrypt the information once the harddrive had been returned; the information would be shared, and somewhere down the line Bravo or another team would find the weapons and capture the arms dealer. The hope was that the dealer would provide information regarding terrorist organizations and their plans. Half of the plan had worked.
Now they had the hard drive but were missing a member of their team. It couldn't have been a coincidence, Sonny thought. He looked for Jason who he knew had the harddrive in his pocket. They hadn't even had time to check it yet.
Sonny's train of thought was broken by the sudden movements on the computer. Though the footage was jerky, Sonny could clearly see a team of ten insurgents enter the embassy swiftly after putting down what few guards there were. Blackburn fast forwarded the footage, trying to see them leave the embassy.
23 minutes later, the team exited the building and Sonny's heart seized as he watched a man in the back of the crew exiting the building with a small body over his shoulder. Even with a sack over her head, Sonny would recognize her anywhere. She hung limply over the shoulder of a large man and Sonny stepped back and put a hand over his mouth. He turned around, feeling numb. Not only was she captured, she was injured and who knew how badly. The only good thing was that by them taking her, it meant she was alive.
"Sonny." Blackburn said loudly.
Sonny turned around and saw as Blackburn rewinded the footage. Sonny couldn't bare to watch the footage again and was about to tell Blackburn so when he saw what Blackburn was pointing out. After Lisa was taken from the building, he saw a blonde girl walking swiftly behind. She was clearly under no duress and spoke urgently to the person next to her. She touched his arm lightly before they were out of the frame all together.
Jane wasn't a victim. Jane was an accomplice.
Sonny would show her no mercy.
