Alright, so last chapter, David, Penny, Bolt, and their new ally Blonski followed the helicopter and Lori to a military research facility in France that was being infiltrated for a satellite, but David and his group were caught as soon as they reached the satellite, and Penny was taken hostage as Lori and the soldiers made their getaway. I'm really glad that a lot of you have been reading my story, and I will continue to work on it until it's done. I hope you guys like the new chapter. Oh, and if one of you PM's me after you read this chapter, I'll give you a sneak peak at the plot for my next story. Please review when you're done and enjoy.

Chapter 14

Time: 0600 hrs
Area: somewhere in France
Location: French military research facility

David sat down on a detached wheel, looking off into the distance, Bolt was at his side, and Blonski was setting up shop nearby, placing his weapons on table, and taking a quick drink of liquor that he brought in a . It has been half an hour since Lori got away with both the satellite, and with Penny, he knew that she was taking them back to Calico's main hideout, and he was trying to think of a way to rescue her, but couldn't think of anything at the moment as he was recovering from the incident that had occurred. Bolt whimpered in sadness as he was upset that they took Penny as much as David was, feeling that he had failed his owner, and that Calico had won. David looked at him, knowing that he was hurt, and patted him on the head. Bolt looked up to him, and David gave a smile or reassurance to him, although he still felt angry on the inside.

"Don't worry Bolt" David said to him "I'm worried about her as much as you are, but I promise you I will get her back" Bolt was starting to look a little reassured, seeing how friendly he was with Penny, how he had been found of his owner ever since they first met him, and how she also liked him, but the dog was starting to like this guy as well. Soon they both heard Blonski walking to them from behind and turned around to see that he was carrying a canteen of water in one hand, and a bottle of scotch in another. He raised his arm that was holding the water canteen and threw it to David, who caught it as it came right to him.

"You'll need that to refuel" Blonski said to him. After hearing what he said, David unscrewed the top of the canteen, raised it to his lips, and took a few gulps of water from it, he was starting to feel better as the cold liquid came rushing down his throat.

"How's it going over there?" David asked Blonski.

"It's going good" he replied "I've set up shop here and have several more weapons in case they decide to come back"

"Well after they've just gotten away with what they came for, along with something extra, I doubt it" said David. Blonski looked at him in concern. He knew how David was feeling at the moment, and was attempting to try to make him feel better.

"Look David" Blonski said to him "I know you're upset about this, but she'll be ok"

"Ok?" David asked looking back on him in an angry tone "Ok? The girl that I had cared about just got captured, and Calico is probably going to use her father for whatever reason he needed him in the first place for that satellite, how's that for ok!" Blonski took a step back as David breathed heavily, after that, he calmed down a for a bit before he brought his head up to his forehead "Sorry Blonski, it's just, helping this girl feels like the only good thing I've ever done in my life, all those men that we killed over the years I found out were not as bad as they said they were, they probably had families too, and they're gone because of us"

"We all can't change the past" Blonski said to him "But I think that what you're doing for that girl might give you a different future"

"You ever felt that way" David said.

"Yeah" he replied "Before I trained you all, I did a lot of things that I wasn't proud of, hurt a lot of people. But when I came in to train you and the rest of your team, I felt like I was doing something good, like I was preparing you for something better, but know I realize, that helping this girl was the thing I was preparing you for"

"Thanks" David replied "You always were a good teacher, and your skills have always come in handy for every one of us". Blonski smiled at the comment, until suddenly, he turned his head to the forest as if her were hearing something. David was curious as to what the matter was and turned to where he was facing.

"Did you hear that?" Blonski asked him.

"Hear what?" David asked. He didn't know what he was listening to until he finally heard what he was hearing. There were sounds of trucks on the nearby road and men shouting orders at each other.

"We've got company" Blonski said "Get back to the tent" he then started running back to where he had put his things, and David and Bolt soon followed him. Once they made it, David looked around the table to find a good gun to use, and spotted an M-14 assault rifle. He took the gun while Blonski took a sniper rifle. They all ran outside, with their guns raised, seeing that the newcomers had just come into view on the other side of the bridge.

"Blonski, you might wanna put your weapon down" David mentioned over to him "I don't think these guys are going to attack" he was right, as these people seemed to be American, judging by their uniforms. So both men lowered their weapons and David eased Bolt and told him not to attack. The soldiers soon noticed them as they went through the gates and soon started to walk towards them.

"It's alright!" David yelled to them "We're not a threat to you, we've just been staked out for a while, waiting for you guys to come" They revealed to be a U.S. special task group judging by their uniforms and high tech weaponry. One of the soldiers came up front and faced the two of them.

"Drop your weapons" the soldier said to them. David and Blonski obliged and threw both of their guns onto the ground so that they can show that they aren't a threat "Who are you, and what were you doing out here?"

"We're hunters" Blonski said to them "We noticed smoke coming from here and we decided to check it out" The soldier then noticed the stash of weapons that Blonski laid out back at the tent and started to look suspicious at the two men, suspecting that they may be lying.

"Well, it's not common for hunters to walk into a restricted area" the soldier said to them "And besides, those aren't the kind of weapons that an average hunter would carry, who are you two really?" David knew that they were caught and looked at the soldier.

"Take us to your commanding officer and we'll tell you everything you need to know" David said to the man.

"We'll secure this area first, and then you can see him" the soldier replied to him.

After a while, the task group and set up a perimeter around what was left of the facility and securing the area. David, Bolt, and Blonski had waited for a while to see the man who was in charge so that they could tell them whatever they wanted to know. As they sat by their area, a soldier walked up to them, and they all looked at him.

"He'll see you now" The soldier said to them.

"Took you boys long enough" Blonski replied. David smirked at his comment as they all got up and started to walk to another tent that had just been set up. They all stopped outside of the tent, and then proceeded to enter. Inside, they saw a desk with a man who looked to be in his forties. He had thin brown hair, a white shirt, and several other features including a gun belt that David could tell made him from a government agency. The man looked at the two of them, then down at Bolt, and then turned to the soldier.

"You're dismissed" he said to the soldier, who nodded before he exited the tent. He turned to David and Blonski and motioned them forward "Sit down" they both took a seat, and then faced both of them "Are you gonna tell me why you two are here?"

"Aren't you gonna introduce yourself first" David asked the man.

"Of course" The man replied and held out his hand "Felix Lither, CIA"

"I'm David" he said shaking the man's hand "And this is Blonski" Felix shook hands with Blonski, and then he noticed the dog that was lying down right beside them on the mat.

"Who's your friend over there?" Felix asked looking at Bolt. David turned around and noticed Bolt as he did.

"That's Bolt" David said to him. After the introductions were done, Felix decided to start asking the two some questions.

"What are you two doing out here" Felix asked them. David was the first to answer.

"We've been tracking down a man by the name of Dr. Calico" said David. After he mentioned that name, Felix started to get even more suspicious thinking that they may be mercenaries.

"Funny thing" Felix said to them "Because we have been investigating Calico's organization for years, and I didn't hear that mercenaries were after them, so who sent you"

"Nobody sent us" David said to him "I've been after him myself, with some help, for something that Calico did to me"

"What do you mean?" Felix asked him. David then began to explain how he had been trained by Calico's organization to become a specialized assassin along with others to work for him, and showed him the tattoo on the back of his neck that he's had all his life. Then, he continued by saying how he and his team were set up in Shanghai and how one of them sold them out while the rest of his team were killed but he escaped. He then explained how he found Penny and Bolt, how he agreed to help them, their adventures across the globe, his attachment to Penny, and how they found Blonski and ended up here. What he didn't mention however, was how he was taken from his birthparents, and what Blonski told them when they had found him. David kept it to himself since he didn't want to share those thoughts for now. After he was done explaining everything, Felix was amazed, and felt bad for David, since he had gone through so much.

"I'm sorry to hear" Felix said.

"Don't be" said David. Felix was sitting down thinking about all of this, until he had an Idea.

"Since you're after Calcio as well, I was thinking maybe a deal could be made" Felix said to him. David was curious, as to what this deal was.

"What do you have in mind?" David asked him.

"If you help us get to Calico, we can provide assistance and backup for you" Felix said to him.

"You want our help?" David asked him.

"Yes" Felix replied "You two seem to know more about Calico than anybody else does, you know every base, every crime, and anyone that works for him, which could come in handy" David thought for a minute, he wouldn't feel comfortable helping someone else find Calico, but he had no other option, and they were running out of time. So he decided that helping them while they helped him would be the best thing to do.

"Alright, I guess I can help you" David said "What do you think Blonski" his friend turned to him, then back to Felix.

"Yes, it looks like because of the state we're in, we are definitely gonna need help" Blonski said to him "We're gonna have to bring Bolt too"

"Now why would we bring a dog?" Felix asked them.

"Trust me" David said to him "He's a lot handier than you think"

"Alright, it looks like we've got a deal then" Felix said to them.

"Yeah, but the only problem is I don't know where they took them" David said. Suddenly a soldier came into the tent, and the men turned to him.

"Sir, we found one enemy soldier that survived" the soldier said to them "What should we do with him?"

"Keep him alive" Felix said to him "He may have some information that may be useful"

"Yes sir" the man said before exiting the tent. Felix then got up from his chair and started walking towards the door.

"Well gentlemen" Felix said "It looks like we'll find out where they headed"

As soon as they got to the medical tent, the prisoner was already being treated for his wounds while some guards were watching him to make sure that he didn't try to escape. Felix then turned to David.

"Alright kid" Felix said to him "He's all yours" David nodded then went over to where the prisoner was resting, and sat down on the bed next to his.

"Well" the prisoner said in a weak voice "Lori did say that you always were hard to kill"

"Yeah" David said "You know my reasons, I could kill you right now, but the only reason that I am letting you live right now, is so you and I can have a little talk"

"Like I would ever talk to you" the prisoner said to him said to him. David suddenly threw a blow to the face in disgust, then pulled a gun off the table, and pressed in against the man's chin. The man pleaded for mercy, since he didn't want to be killed "Alright, alright, I'll talk"

"Good" David said to him "Where did they take the satellite and the girl?"

"They took them to one of his facilities, where they will use the satellite, Calico himself will be there"

"Where is this facility?" David asked.

"In the Swiss Alps" the prisoner said to him.

"Which mountain?" David asked him.

"I don't know" the prisoner said "But I do know the coordinates: 12, 43, 11" David listened carefully, and then turned to the group that was behind him.

"Did any of you get that down?" David asked them. One soldier had a pencil and a pad, and was writing down the information. He turned back to the prisoner.

"Thank you for sharing with us" David said to the prisoner.

"It won't matter for long" the prisoner said to him "After he takes over and kills both the professor and his daughter" David stopped, he knew that they were gonna kill both of them after it was done, and soon felt anger boiling inside of him. Then, he threw his fist out, and punched the soldier in the face hard, knocking him out cold.

"What did you do that for?" Felix asked him.

"Relax, I didn't kill him" David said "Besides, we have what we need"

"He's got a point" Blonski said to Felix, and soon felt that he was probably right.

"Get him out of here" Felix said to a few soldiers.

"Yes sir" one of them said before they rushed to the soldier, and proceeded to carry him away, where he will remain a prisoner. After this, David turned to Felix.

"Now, you said you were gonna help us" David said to him "So let's talk about how we'll get to that base"

Alright, looks like they've now got some help, and know where they'll go next. I hope you guys liked it. There's only a few more chapter and the finale will be coming soon. I added another James Bond reference into the chapter which is the character of Felix, who in the films is a friend of James. Please review and I will update as soon as possible. The end will be near, so see you next chapter.
