Alex

"What the hell is taking him so long?!" Alex fumed at the fact Mike has not checked in with them for a few hours.

"Chill. He should be here any minute." Ted calmly said, trying to set Alex at eaase.

"Chill!? You want me to chill!?" Alex snapped. "My wife has been taken was a dangerous and horrible person, she's not with me, and I have no idea when I'm ever going to see her again! How in the hell am I supposed to chill?!" Alex conintued to rant.

"Alright, alright." Ted put his hands up in defense. "I'm just trying to ease the tension in the room, that's all." He shook his head, turning back to his computer.

Just as Alex opened his mouth to speak, the door opened causing both men to snap their heads in that direction.

"Speak!" Alex barked before Mike even had the door closed.
"Ch-" Mike went to say until he saw Ted shaking his head no.

"Status report, NOW!" Alex demanded.

"Woah. Since when were you in charge?" Mike glared at Alex.

"You'll have to excuse him. He's a bit...tense. Now, what have you got?" Ted said in a calmer tone.

"For one, I was almost caught. Two, he's not going to make this easy. He's already claimed her as his." Mike started.

"Hell no! She's no ones but mine!" Alex growled.

"Alex." Ted gave him a look. "Is sercurity the same?"

"As far as I know yes. I have not been taken away from her, but the others are going to be watching more closely."

"Why's that?" Ted asked.

"There was an incident at the pool. One of the men, Cody I believe, came onto her and I helped her get away, but then he told Wade she and I were getting to close. I think he has a thing for her and by the looks, he'll do whatever to get what he wants." Mike explained as anger grew in Alex's expression.

"Okay. So tomorrow, you're going to goo back. Act like nothing happened. Be soft with her, but not to soft. When they're around, be tough but, to an extent. When they are not around, act like you normally would without giving anything away. Got it?"

"Got it." Mike nodded.

"That's it?!" Alex yelled. "Nothing more? We need to get her back and now!" Alex raised his voice.

"Keep your voice down!" Ted demanded thorugh his teeth. "They could be listening. You never know."

"Fine." Alex grumbled, not happy at all.

"Get some sleep, we'll move out in the morning. I still have some work to do to figure out how we can get on the inside without being caught ourselves." Ted instructed.

"Do what you have to, but if you don't do something soon, I'll go get her myself." Alex's tone was beyond pissed as he walked to his bed.

"You will do not such thing." Ted smiply said, stopping Alex from walking to his bed.

"If I do?" Alex challenged.

"I'll have to send you home. You will no longer be able to be here through this. I'll get someone else to come and help us." Ted stood strong and defiant.

"You wouldn't." Alex was shocked his friend would say that.

"Try me." Ted smirked. "I'm in charged of this mission and you will do as I say, like it or not." Ted took charged of the situation.

"Whatever. I just want her back." Alex rubbed his head.

Ted walked over to his friend and fellow Marine, putting his hand on his shoulder.

"We'll get her back. Just get some sleep and let me get to work." Ted patted Alex's shoulder.

Alex nodded, heading over to his bed. He laid his head on the pillow looking up at the ceiling for sometime just thinking about Kimberly. He would do anything to get her back in his arms right now. As he laid there, he got a plan in his head. All he had to do was get out of the room and away from Ted long enough to put his plan into action.

-Not much, but I need to get an update out there. Sorry it took so long.-
