Chapter 1

Tristan POV

The moment we came along Tex and Doctor Rachel Scott we knew there was something wrong. At first my sister Angel and I were shocked.

The whole world thought that the Doctor Rachel Scott has died from an attack by an immune. We told them about what is happening with the government and that we wanted to stop it. Tex told us that they needed to bring Rachel somewhere safe.

They had been trying to contact the Nathan James, since that is the safest place at the moment they could think of. When with the help of me and my sister it didn't work we decided to head back to St. Louis. That's about where we are now.

When we crossed a gas station Tex suddenly hit the brakes. He climbed out of the car with me following behind him with my gun ready to shoot. ''Angel stay in the car with doctor Scott!'' I ordered. She nodded her head.

I ran after Tex. ''Tex man what are you doing!'' I said when he hid behind a car. He put his finger to his lips and pointed over the car. I took a look and saw two guys attacking a men and a woman. ''That is Kara Green. She is from the Navy, she was also enlisted on the Nathan James. She was their TAO.'' Tex explains quickly before moving forward ready to take the two attackers down. Tex took one down who was attacking Kara while I shot the other one.

The girl turned around ready to shoot us. ''Hold on sweetheart! It's Tex'' Tex quickly said while holding his gun and other hand in the air. Me following his actions. She slowly lowered her gun. ''Took you long enough'' was the first thing she said before going over to him to give him a hug. The moment they let go of each other she turned to me.

''This is lieutenant Kara Green Foster. Trained Navy. Kara I would like you to meet Tristan Roberto King. He also is from the Navy'' Tex introduces me to her. I hold my hand for her to shake it. ''Nice to meet you ma'am. I have heard good things about you'' I say to her while giving her a small smile. ''Likewise. Please call me Kara.'' She tells me while smiling.

Tex puts his arm around Kara and smiles at her. ''I think we have someone with us who you would love to see'' he tells her while giving her a wink when he sees her confused face. We walk towards the car when I see the car door being opened.

''Kara!? Kara?! Is that you?'' Doctor Scott almost screams while climbing out of the car. Kara gasps and runs towards her, doctor Scott doing the same. I walk towards Angel and put my arm around her. ''That is Kara Green Foster. She served on the Nathan James. She was their TAO.'' I explain to her while we watch the two woman reunite.

Third POV

After introductions being made we followed Kara towards an abandoned cabin. She told us all about what was going on. That she was on her way to St. Louis to get the president away from Shaw's hands. How she is a fugitive at the moment along with the reporter whom travelled with her. Tex told Kara about how their plan was to protect Rachel at all times. And keep her out of troubled hands.

At the moment they were thinking of a plan to get the president, but also how to protect Rachel at the same time. They were all thinking when suddenly Kara shot out of her seat towards her backpack. Pulling out some papers before looking at them. The rest looked at her expecting her to say something.

''What are you thinking KFC'' Tex asked the question which we were all thinking of. She held her hand up while thinking some further.

She walked back and cleared the table before laying out a map of Asia. She circled some places with a marker. ''In Haiphon the crew was abducted from that night club. In Shanzhai Captain Chandler's land team was attack by the MSS. And during the rescue operation of the crew the MSS also showed up. It all made no sense those attacks. The only thing we could come up with is that Peng was trying to kill us. But the last I heard was that the destroyers Hayward and Shackleton were destroyed by missiles. Only the president and the staff knew where they were located. Shaw has been behind this all along. Before I left St. Louis I heard something about a plan to arrest CNO Chandler and demanding that the Nathan James would return to San Diego so it could be destroyed.'' Kara explained to them.

She looked around at their faces. They looked shocked by the last piece of information. She put her hands together before standing up. ''This goes against my instincts, but I think the best thing for us to do is to split up. Looking at it I think we can all agree that we can't take Rachel to St. Louis'' she paused looking at them. Seeing them all thinking and nodding in agreement. Only Rachel not completely convinced.

''I have a friend with an helicopter that I can borrow. Angel here told me she can fly it. So my suggestion is that Doctor Scott, Angel and you go in the direction of the Nathan James. I suggest Kathleen stays with me for safety reasons. So you guys don't have to worry in case you come across Peng. I have a close friend whom I trust that will keep her save if it is necessary.'' She explains while looking at Tex making the teams clear. ''While I along with Tristan and Jacob over here go back to St. Louis to get the president. Jacob is the only one that can get us in there. So we have no other option that he comes with us. Otherwise I would have send him with you guys. I picked up satellite phones on the way so we can keep in contact. And I have the equipment to send out a short message to the James.'' She finished looking at the rest.

They seemed to think about it for a moment, before Rachel stands up. ''I think you are right. I have samples with me so I can try to find a cure on the ship again. For the people that have come in contact with the green mist in Japan. I may even have a cure already.'' She says while putting her hand on Kara's shoulder. Kara looked at the rest of them.

Tristan and Angel seemed to be having a discussion. Angel turned towards Kara. ''There is only one problem with your plan. We don't know where the Nathan James is. We know that it is somewhere in Japan.'' She says looking thoughtfully at the map.

Kara chuckles softly causing the rest to look at her. ''I have served all of my Navy years under the command of captain Chandler. So I know him pretty well. Assuming that Takahaya is aboard his ship and they don't know about the government take down yet. I think they are going after Peng. Whom I last heard was headed for the Japanese Archives.'' She explained while pointing it out on the map. ''Assuming that they are going there we don't have a lot of time. We have to leave as soon as possible. The helicopter is an hour or so away from here. My friend told me that we can just take it. He will be there to help you if it is needed. I will inform him that he can ask for you serial number if that is alright Angel? So he is sure that he doesn't give the wrong people access.'' Kara finished looking at Angel. ''Of course. Give him everything he wants. He's helping us a lot.'' She answered with a small smile.

About half an hour later everything and everyone is ready to go. Unfortunately they haven't been able to send a very clear message to the James, but Kara and Tex were sure they would understand it.

They agreed to keep in contact as long as possible with the satellite phones, but they don't know how long they will last. Kara's friend had also informed her that Angel, Tex Rachel and Kathleen could get weapons from him. Seeing as he doesn't need it.

The only thing left now was to say their goodbyes for they don't know how long. Angel walked towards Tristan to give him a big hug. While Rachel, Kathleen, Kara and Tex did the same. Tex gives Kara a big hug. ''Take care of yourself girl. Or I will have Danny on me if something happens to you.'' Tex says while smiling at her. Kara looks up at him and smiles back. ''Of course I will look after myself. And you look after yourself to and those woman for me'' she responds. He nods.

Both teams walked towards their own cars, turning around one last time to wave before going on their way.
