Emmett POV
Rose had gotten Bella's permission to join the team for this mission. It's been days and we still have yet to hear anything. I still haven't left the base, working with everything I am to find out where they are. I was in the breafing room looking over the maps again when James walked into the room. James was Jasper's ex. James still dearly loved jasper, and I could see that it took everything in him not to run after him, or beat Bella's head in for not letting him on the team. James just didn't have the training. We worked differently than the rest of the Army.
"Emmett, go home get some sleep" I shook my head and started looking for other area's to attack. James sat down beside me, and reached for my hand.
"Emmett…"
"NO!" I roared and stood. I ran my hands threw my hair, and stormed around the large map.
"I'm fucking missing something!" The potential area just seems to obvious! It's too easy, and I'm worried it's a fucking trap. I'd been toying with the idea of bombing a few known places and seeing what happens.
It just… something didn't sit well about the current plan we were making. There for one was way to many potential targets. What also bothered me was there was still no demands. This was something personal against one of them, and my gut was pointing at Jasper.
James stood and followed me around the table and put his hand on my shoulder. I shurged him off.
"Leave James. You're distracting me" He sighed,
"Fine but only if you go home tonight. It's been days Emmett, you're baby girl needs you too."
I sighed, he was right, but Katie was staying at Maggie's, Rose's Nona.
"Just get out" I growled under my breath, he was just starting to piss me off. I needed to figure out why this wasn't right, what was different this time, than any others.
James left closing the door behind him, leaving a black coffee on the table. I sighed, I'll thank him for that later.
I paced around the table looking at all the different marks on the map. I picked it up after about 30 minutes and taped it to the wall. I starting writing on paper I had grabbed from the printer in the room. What was normal for these kidnappings, and what was different about this one.
Normal J&E
Quiet taking Shots and bombs
Demands w/in 24 hrs3 days nothing
Never leaves evidence of who it isleft Irana flag on door
Never attacks at homeTaken from home
Thereats are issued before handNo thereat
Way of contact/ drop off pointno contact at all
Never large group Large group ambush
Always attacks the weakAttacked 2 specal op's
Fuck, nothing is matching up! WHAT THE FUCK AM I MISSING! This has to be a personal attack. No demands, Jasper nor Edward has had any threats. Fuck something is just not adding up. Were missing something
I slammed the papers down on the table. I need their files, I need to know how and when they've ever had ANY contacts with the Irana. Downing my now cold coffee, I left the room, and locked it. I was the only one with a key, I needed this room. Walking down the records, I decided how I was going to try this.
"Hello Emmett, what can I do for you?" Angela asked. She was our resident records officer.
"Angie, I need Edward and Jasper's misson rosters. From enrolment to now"
"Emmett you know I can't do that with out their permission, and Bella's"
"I know Angie, I do, but something is fishy about this one. It's been almost 4 days, and still no demands, no nothing. This is personal, and I need those records to see if I can find any connections. Please!" I begged. "I'll even put them all back, and I'll take ANY and all shit, just say that I got them when you were in the bathroom."
She searched my face for a moment, her eye's understanding, but unsure.
"Please, we need them home"
She nodded and whipped a tear from her eye, "I miss them Emmett"
This I expected, Edward was always down here on his breaks to spend time with Angie, she was all alone down in this dingy basement.
"Me too, Angie. We all need them back"
"Okay give me ten, and I'll have all of the files."
"I'm going to et a coffee, do you want one?" She nodded, and tried to hide her sniffle.
I crept up stairs and grabbed two coffee's making Angie's like Edward always did.
I crossed paths with Ben on the way back down.
"Ben, give Angie 5, then go see her. She needs someone"
He nodded, they were bestfreinds. I had a feeling that they both harbored more that just friendship in their hearts for each other, both were just too scared to say anything.
I sighed and traveled back down stairs.
I placed her coffee down on the counter and forced myself to pretend she wasn't crying behind one of the shelves. I grabbed the two stacks of files, and hit the elevator button. When the doors opened, I sighed and climbed on. Just as the doors closed, I whispered "I'm sorry Angie" I hadn't meant to hurt her.
Once back in the breafing room, I pushed everything off the table onto the floor and dropped the files down. I sorted them into their Edward, and Jasper staks, and grapped more paper. I started with Edward's files, and for each Irana encounter, I jotted down information about the mission, who we were going after in the cell, and their rank, or relation. I started on Jasper's then, Starting with when he started with the team 4 years ago, to now. They shared a lot of the same missions, but nothing that was really significant. The higest rank happened to be Alum Kimjaw's nefiew. Edward and Jasper had managed to kill him in the last mission. This flagged for me but it was nothing big. I set this piece down on the chair next to me with the two files. Now I started in on the missons Jasper had before he joined Delta force.
It tool me over two hours to go through them all. There was on file that was incomplete from just before he left his last position and came to us. There was a LARGE gap between the two. I know that James had broken up with Jasper a few months before Jasper joined us. I grabbed the file, and set off to find James. He had to know what had happened.
