A week later
"Okay I'm leaving" Denahi told his brothers.
"Where are you going?" asked Sitka
"I'll go find more medical plants. We're almost done, see ya"
And he walked out of their tent.
Koda was playing with his friends in the village when he spotted Denahi acting very suspicious. Koda decided to follow his brother to discover what was going on, until Denahi entered the woods. Koda heard some kissing noises along with giggles, he sneaked out behind a tree just to find his older brother kissing and caressing Chayo while they giggled and were telling each other couple things.
"You're ready?" he asked Chayo.
"I am, I'm so nervous. Are you sure nobody saw you?"
"Affirmative, I can be very sneaky. The spring waters are not far from here. And the best part: it will be just the two of us, alone in those caves" said Denahi with a smirk and a sexy voice that made Chayo shiver.
The couple kissed before storming into the forest holding hands and laughing of excitement.
"I KNEW IT!" said Koda victorious.
He rushed back to the village to spread the knew, Koda was so excited that he didn't see Sonny and ended up bumping against him. Koda was now on the ground.
"Koda?"
"Hi Sonny"
"Why the rush little buddy?" asked Sonny as he helped him to get on his feet.
There Kenai realized that Kenai was there too. Even better!
"You're not gonna believe this. But Denahi has a girlfriend." Koda sang on a mocking voice.
"What?! Really?!" Kenai
"And who's your future sister-in-law?" Sonny
"Let's say it's a tough, brave and crazy warrior girl, who's left leg is missing, wears something called glasses and she has a k9 as pet sidekick."
"Chayo? I knew that kid was in love with that guy!"
Koda started to tell them the story TO DETAIL.
"I already know why the spring waters" Sonny
"Why?" Kenai
Sonny just lift an eyebrow, what made Kenai realize the true reason and then a picture of his brother with Chayo doing The Forbidden Dance appeared in his mind.
"I'll never get over that horror"
The formed Navy Seal just laughed at the teen's comment, when all the sudden, light bulb.
"Hey boys, what if we play a prank on them?"
Kenai and Koda looked at each other malicious looks on their faces.
"I'm totally in!" exclaimed Kenai "I'll finally get some payback for everything Denahi has done to me!"
The three leaved to the woods following the track of their victims, the whole time they were imitating and making jokes about the new couple. Kenai was imitating Denahi the goofiest way possible as Sonny was imitating Chayo in a very exaggerated way naming also stereotypical girls stuff. Koda was laughing so much that he started to feel his belly hurt and had to control himself for not wetting his pants.
Sonny was so distracted by their teasing until he felt a sting on his neck, he grabbed his hand to his neck and pulled out a dart which he saw with horror.
"Oh shit..."
Everything started to spin, his vision became blurry and, in a moment, he hit the ground half-conscious.
He could see some men capturing Kenai and Koda. Two men were holding the teen by the arms while he struggled, as another man, as big and strong as Sonny, grabbed Koda and put him over his shoulder while the kid was kicking and punching the man's back with no result. The boys were yelling their friend's name:
"Sonny!"
"Sonny!"
"No..." he whispered as he extended his hand to them.
Then...Blackout
He didn't know how long it had been when he started to wake up. His head hurt and his vision was still blurry, he moaned as he placed a hand on his head. Just like when he got hungover. Moments later he saw by his side Trent, Blackburn and Jason, Sonny realized he was back to the village.
"Ugh...wha...what happened?"
"What happened? That's actually what we would like to hear from you." said a pretty mad Blackburn.
"Ray and Full-Metal found you in the forest unconscious. What happened Sonny?" Jason
Sonny then remembered everything; panic took over him.
"Where are they?"
"Who?" Trent
"Kenai and Koda, I was with them in the woods, where are they?" asked Sonny with a really frighten, desperate and worried voice.
"Sonny..."
Sonny looked at Trent for an answer.
"...you were found...alone."
Sonny's eyes wide, he jumped from the bed and rushed outside the tent. He started to call the boys in desperation until he saw Sitka, Sonny rushed to the eldest in hope he had seen his brothers.
"Sonny are you alright?"
"Have you seen Kenai or Koda? Please tell me yes."
"No, why? What happened?" asked Sitka getting as worried as Sonny.
All the sudden someone said that Kenai was back to the village, so both men rushed to the direction where he was coming. A crowd was forming at the outside of the village, including the rest of Bravo. Kenai was back with a white blanket over him, something kind of suspicious.
"Jace" Ray
"What?"
"Look"
Ray pointed a dog sitting as he saw Kenai, another dog did the same, as another, and another, and another...
Including Cerberus and Saya.
"When a K9 sits, it means explosives" said Brock looking at the dogs and then to the boy. "KENAI DON'T MOVE! STAY WHERE YOU ARE!"
"Brock I need your help!"
As Kenai said that, he let the blanket fall and let see a time bomb attached to his chest. Bravo's hearts almost dropped at seeing the explosive on the teen's chest, the clock showed it missed just one minute and thirty seconds for the detonation. Sitka, ignoring what was a bomb, sprinted to his brother but then Clay knocked him down in the ground and got over him.
"What are you doing Clay?!"
"IF THAT THING EXPLODES YOUR BROTHER WILL DIE WITH EVERYONE NEAR HIM!" he yelled at Sitka's face.
Clay got off of Sitka and rushed to Kenai, when they were face to face Clay saw that he only had one minute left for the detonation.
"Clay-"
"Don't move" he growled to Kenai.
Beside the clock were some buttons that had something written in russian.
Fifty seconds.
Clay didn't speak too well Russian but he understood a little bit. The words were basic so he didn't have troubles with the translation. After all he was the team's translator dictionary.
Thirty seconds.
"Clay what the hell do you think you're doing?!" Trent
"IF YOU DON'T LET ME CONCENTRATE KENAI DIES ALONG WITH US!"
Fifteen seconds.
It was a race against time, he just needed one word more.
Five, four, three...
"Okay this one says Stop so this might BE!" he said pressing the button at the last second.
A voice came out of the electronic explosive saying that the bomb was defused in Russian. Hearing the sentence Clay let himself fall backwards, sighting of relief. Now his heart was rating so fast that he could have a heart attack.
"I did it!" Clay said on a high voice lifting a thumb. But at the moment he calmed down he got on his feet and faced his teammates.
"The bomb has been neutralized but it doesn't mean is inactive."
"And what's your plan now Captain America?" Sonny
"In DEVGRU we did an atelier with explosives"
"A three-month course doesn't make you an artificer Spenser." Ray
"Anybody has a better option?"
Everyone turned to see Jason.
"Boss?" Trent
Jason thought for a moment before speaking again.
"Davis do we have equipment to inactivate a bomb at the plain?"
"I always carry one just in case."
"Okay, give it to Clay along with a communicator. We'll stablish a security perimeter as Clay works the bomb on Kenai."
"We have to warn the people, I'll go find Tanana." said Mandy going back to the village.
Once she found her both women leaded to Bravo while Mandy explained the shaman what had happened. When they finally arrived Tanana saw the bomb on the teen's chest.
There Jason passed the message to the villagers:
"Your attention please! As you can see, Kenai has a very dangerous explosive device attached to his chest. So for the safety of everybody we must stablish a perimeter so Clay can neutralize the bomb and put Kenai safe."
"You heard Bravo One people!" Sonny "Everybody step back!"
Bravo started to make the people backoff putting them at a safe distance in case of detonation. Once the perimeter was stablished, Jason gave to Clay the artificer kit and a communicator.
"One mistake, and it's over." Jason told him coldly and looking at Clay on the eyes.
Clay sent him the same look and nod with the head. He was about to make way to Kenai when Sitka put a hand on his shoulder.
"Be careful Clay."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing"
Clay started to walk to Kenai, he was nervous, he was conscious of the danger and the consequences of the most insignificant mistake. He felt his heart was going to come out of his chest. He couldn't fail, so he had to keep his head cool.
Once he was in front of Kenai he put the kit on the ground and placed the communicator.
"Clay please help me."
"Stay still."
"They have Koda Clay, they have Koda! They took him!"
"Hey, Hey! Let me put this straight: You move, we die. We die, Koda is gone forever."
Before starting, Clay did a radio check:
"Havoc this is Bravo Six, do you copy?"
"Copy Bravo Six" answered Blackburn.
"Starting explosive extraction now."
Clay started to work right away, the bomb was composed of a dynamite charge with a black box in front. At the right was the clock screen and the left were the command buttons. At the top of the box were connected four small wires: the colors were black, blue, yellow and red. At the right side of the box were connected six wires more at the dynamite sticks. Clay took some tweezers from the kit, he started by cutting the blue wire, slowly, when this one was cut off nothing happened, so he kept going with the black wire, then the yellow one. It only missed the red wire, Clay had to do a big effort to try to calm down, since his hands were trembling. He could hear his heart beats each time he got closer to the wire.
This one was already between the tweezers, Clay was slowly pressing the tweezers until...
Nothing happened, the bomb was still the same, now he had to take the explosive off Kenai's chest. They had secured the bomb with grey tape in the shape of an X. Clay had to verify if there were no more wires hidden through the tape layers, lucky for him there were no more wires. So he could easily cut the tape with the scissors. When finally finished, he carefully putted the bomb on the ground and turned to see Bravo team.
"Here's Bravo six, explosive neutralized, repeat, explosive neutralized."
Bravo and Havoc could finally breathe.
"Nice job Goldilocks" said Sonny through the radio.
...
The bomb had been kept on a safe place, Kenai and Clay were resting from that terrific experience, even Tanana had to give them a tea for the nerves.
Jason and Mandy went to the shaman who received them outside her hut.
"How they doing?" asked Jason.
"A bit more calm, Trent is checking on them right now on my hut."
"You think it could be a good time to ask Kenai some questions?"
Tanana nodded with the head, she then open the entrance of her tent and let pass Mandy and Jason first. They saw the boys taking some dog therapy with Cerberus and Saya while Trent took their pressure.
The moment Kenai saw them he felt his heart was about to come out of his chest. He got on his feet from a jump and ran to them.
"Jason! They took Koda! We have to save him!"
"Hey whoa, whoa, Kenai, Kenai! Calm down" Jason told him as he grabbed Kenai by the shoulders "We're gonna get him back. I promise you, but you have to tell us what happened first."
"I... I was with Sonny and Koda on the forest...then someone knocked Sonny out with a kind of dart and...when he got unconscious some men captured us. I tried to fight them but... I think they gave me something because I felt a pinch in the neck..."
"What? Did they drugged you?" Mandy
Kenai was confused before the question, so Trent tried to help a little.
"Kenai what did you feel after the pinch?"
"Well...I felt really tired, my nose was irritated, my eyes were wet and I started to slowly loose vision. I also felt nauseous and constipation."
"Heroine" concluded Trent.
"Kenai"Jason"Were the Russians who did this to you?"
Kenai nodded.
"When I woke up I was in the forest with that thing on my chest."
"You did well in coming back to the village" Mandy"Otherwise the bomb had exploded and killed you."
"Could you at least something while you were drugged?" Trent.
Kenai tried to remember something.
"Yes...now that you mentioned it...while they were tiding the bomb to my chest...I heard them talking about something."
"What were they talking about?" Jason
