Hey guys! Very sorry for the long delay!

I been busy with school work, plus writing, putting a lot of effort into my Valentine's Day special one shot! But it was all worth it because it was a success!

And enough of that, let's get back to the story!

Chapter 4: Back Home

Many hours later, back stateside, Alex has just arrived at his hometown of Moose Lake, Minnesota after a long and stressful plane ride across half a world. All throughout the trip, all he could think about was the pain Lisa was experiencing at the hands of the terrorists and that made his head ache.

As Alex arrived at his house, in a taxi, he saw a large crate on his driveway. He knew exactly what it was. He got out and taking his bag with him, he paid the taxi driver.

"Here you go." Alex said to the driver as he paid with cash.

"Thank you and have a good day." The driver smiled at Alex.

"Yeah right." Alex said in his head. "I will." Alex lied to the driver.

As the taxi driver drove away, Alex walked up to the crate and looking around and not seeing anyone looking in his direction, he pushed the crate into the garage. Alex then closed the garage door and turned on the light to fill the dark space now. He then looked for a crowbar and after finding it, he opened the crate to reveal the weapons and gear Ralph promised him he would deliver to him.

"Wow sir, you really did it." Alex was amazed at the arsenal Ralph managed to get to him.

The primary weapon was an M4 assault rifle, with a holographic sight, a silencer attachment, a fro grip, as well as extended mags. There was also an MP5SD, an MP5 with a built in silencer, attached to it was a reflex sight and also extended mags attached to it. There was also a number of frag and smoke grenades, as well as flashbangs. There was a complete body armor kit and for hand to hand combat, there was a sharpened Ka-Bar knife. And there was one more thing Alex recognized, but was unusual in the Seals' choice of weapons.

It was a modified M1911 pistol, that was owned by Major Ralph. Alex was shocked looking at it and saw a note taped to the gun.

"I thought you could also use this lieutenant, for backup and also luck. I also found out the address of the warehouse and have that below. You are really putting our asses on the line here! You are lucky you have our back!" The note read while Alex chuckled at his officer's comment. "Again, good luck lieutenant." The note finished and Alex went back to gearing up.

After all was set, except for putting on the body armor for later when he would go fight to save his sister, he put everything in the trunk of his car and drove out. Before Alex could go, he needed to check on all his brothers' families and loved ones and say his goodbyes if he should perish. One reason the Seal squad was so close to each other as brothers was because they all lived in the same town, it was believed that made a stronger bond between brothers in arms, so they were all put together in a squad.

As Alex made his way to his last stop, Kelly, he took out the engagement ring that Jameson had and sighed sadly.

"Almost there buddy, she will get it." Alex said to himself as he stopped in front of Kelly and Jameson's house.

Alex knocked on the door and was greeted by a Kelly that clearly has been crying since she heard the news of Jameson's death.

"Hey Kelly." Alex greeted with a deep tone of voice.

"Alex?" Kelly replied, shocked. "What are you doing here?"

"You have not heard the news?" Alex asked, but realized probably all Kelly did was cry.

"No." Kelly simply replied.

"Lisa has been kidnapped and I'm going to rescue her." Alex answered.

"What?" Kelly became alert. "Are you sure that's a good idea, alone?"

"Yes, she is my only family remaining, I can't lose her." Alex sighed. "But before I go, I need to give you something."

Alex took out the ring and extended his wing out for Kelly to take it. Kelly was confused and took the ring, looking at it, it was decorated with two owls standing in between a heart. Clearly it was custom made, Jameson wanted the best for his loved one.

"Jameson had that all the time. He wanted to propose to you, but he was just so afraid and kept it all the time on him as good luck. He thought he had all the time to tell you how much he loved you." Alex told Kelly.

Kelly just looked at the ring in silence and tears started flowing out of her eyes. Surprisingly she was happier, at least some part of him was still with her.

"Thank you Alex, I feel a bit happier now." Kelly cried.

"Hey anything for my brother, we all will miss him dearly." Alex replied.

Kelly came forward and gave Alex a thank you hug, which Alex returned. The two stayed that way for a couple of minutes before Alex decided to break it. He really needed to get going.

"Well Kelly if I don't come back with her, I am probably gone too. I want you to know it was a real pleasure to know you and Jameson really well."

"Good luck Alex, please save Lisa, I don't want a friend to die." Kelly said as tears kept coming.

"I will."

Alex waved goodbye and got back in his car. As he was driving away, he saw Kelly put on the ring and kiss it, trying to hold back more tears, Alex just sighed as he continued on his way. Soon he drove out of town and into the countryside, he briefly enjoyed the snow covered land, it was a relaxing sight after so many months of seeing miles of sand and feeling hot all the time. However, he also remembered all the fun he had with his sisters when they were younger, having snowballs fights and making snow angels. So many memories that he still wanted to experience with his one family member that was still alive.

Soon enough Alex saw the warehouse in sight and stopped a short distance away, driving behind a hill to cover his approach and suit up and lock and load while not being spotted. After he checked his armor and weapons, he took out a pair of binoculars from his house and laid low while looking at the warehouse, to find an unguarded spot he can sneak inside and make a sheath attack.

As soon as Alex spotted a safe way in, he waited until it got darker to bust in and start killing everyone, and hopefully, quietly at the same time. As the sun got down, and everything started to go dark, Alex got up and quietly jogged his way to the warehouse, in a blind spot of view from the terrorists and got to the door, M4 ready in his wing as he slowly and as quietly as he could, opened the door. After checking the inside and seeing no terrorists around, he stepped inside and quickly got behind some cover.

For Alex, there was truly now no turning back. It was now life or death, two dead or alive family members. However Alex knew the risk, he was going to save his sister and nothing could stop him.

Well guys, a bit shorter, but the next chapter we will get into the big fight! One Navy Seal versus 20+ terrorists!
