Screaming in unprecedented rage, Ryder threw off his headset and repeatedly punched the command monitor until it sprouted spider web cracks. The map of the train station gave way to a fully pink screen. It flickered, then went pitch black.
"Ryder, I don't see Chase anywhere on the roof. Do you think he's okay?" It was Skye, the anxious cockapoo appearing in one of the smaller monitors, her binocular goggles zoomed in at full.
"Skye, head back to the Lookout right now. Chase has been captured by the kidnappers."
"What! I need to go rescue him." cried Skye, "These jerks have one too many of our dear friends!"
"Abort immediately, Skye, there's nothing you can do about Chase. It's my entire fault; I underestimated the potentials of these people." Shutting off the entire system, Ryder settled back and reviewed the current situation in his mind. Some ill-fated decision he made in the past resulted in Katie being held as a hostage. Chase's mission to provide recon on Katie's whereabouts had failed miserably. Nevertheless, hope still hung to his soul. He wasn't going to give up just yet.
"I'm coming for you." Ryder whispered to himself.
