Synapse: Jane was part of a covert op known as the Demon Unit, but Cobra killed all of the members except her. Soon after the Joe's were cleared her Uncle started up the elite force and now she's a part of it all. Now Jane is brought into a world where people can come back from the dead.

The Demon Rose

G. I. Joe: Renegades

Chapter 29

Jane struggled to keep up with Rodger as he maneuvered their way out of their prison. Once he got them out Jane stared at the open space before them. "A desert, I'm in a desert. That's just great, at least we don't have to cross an ocean."

"You still don't know how to swim?" Rodger countered.

"No, I was thinking about asking Flint to teach me actually."

"Argh…you are hopeless Demon." He grabbed her wrist and continued to pull her through the terrain.

The hot sun beat down on them and Jane felt like she was going to pass out. "this is hopeless, we were better off waiting for the Joe's in the prison."

"Do you really want to spend time in a Cobra cell while they get ready to experiment on you, again?"

Now Jane was about to confront him on that when she noticed something floating towards them from the prison they had just escaped. "Quick, we need to hide!"

Rodger shook his head and started dragging her again. The thing wasn't able to catch up with Rodger as he ran them both to a small cavern. He shoved her inside and then crawled in after her. The devise hovered around then went off scanning other places.

…

Baroness stared at the two guards who had been sent to the cell where they kept Jane and Col. Rodger. She was angry that they had let the two escape, but she was even more angered that Viper hadn't reported back yet.

"Henderson, I want you to round up the escaped prisoners."

Henderson looked at the screen. It was Jane, and the one they referred to as Boy Scout. "Yes Baroness."

…

Rodger waited until nightfall to start their trek again. It would be easier for them to travel at night rather in the day time because of the heat. "Come on Jane we need to get moving."

Jane slowly got out of the small crevasse; it had been barely big enough for the both of them to hide in for some reason. "Rodger, we need to get to a main road."

"If there are any roads."

Jane strained her ears and eyes. It was unusual for her to force her enhanced senses but they needed to know where they were going. "I can hear one due north of us."

Laughing Rodger glanced at his friend. "You mean to tell me you can hear a road?"

"No, but I can hear the cars." Jane said in a blatant tone that spoke of frustration and irritation.

"Oh, well in that case let's get going."

Rodger started off to his left and Jane laughed. "That's not the right direction…that way is north." She said while pointing in the opposite direction.

"How would you know?"

Jane pointed at the North Star.

"Oh, guess I'm a little rusty."

"A little lousy is more like it." Jane mumbled a bitt loud.

"I heard that Major."

"I'm not in the military anymore. I'm a civilian Consultant now."

Rodger chanced a glance back and then nodded his ehad. Figured she would leave the military.

"But I did reach the rank of Lt. Colonel."

He stopped and stared at her as she walked up beside him. "Really? That's amazing Jane."

"Not really, it was my self sacrifice that got me there, not my hard work."

"whatever you say Jane. Let's keep going before they get the bright idea to send a search party with dogs."

Jane picked up the pace a little.

…

Henderson followed the trail that his former teammates left behind. It was too easy to track them. Far too easy. They made it like hunting for a kid in a candy store. He lifted the flashlight a little to see that they were heading towards a major highway. Now was his chance, now he could redeem himself.

…

Jane trudged along, her feet dragging ever so tired. She hadn't gotten anything to eat or drink at all before they escaped. Now her body was feeling it. She had had her last meal breakfast before leaving the pit and she had no clue when that was. It could have been hours ago, it could have been days. Now her stomach was actually saying it, loudly. The grumbling of her belly caused Rodger to glance at her and she shrugged. Her mouth felt like cotton and it was painful to swallow. "Do you possibly have any water?"

"No, and if you ask for food I'm going to slap you." He said in a sardonic tone.

"Wasn't gonna, I want to stop for a minute." Jane pulled her feet to a stop and dropped down to her knees in a squatting position.

"It's almost dawn; we need to find somewhere where it would be shady."

"Like that's going to happen Rodger…we're in the middle of a desert…maybe in America."

"Oh this is America; I know it is because I was conscious when they transported me."

"Lucky you, do you know what state we are in?"

"Nope, it's all new to me."

"Of course it is, that's because you two aren't exactly 'spend more time in our homeland to see it's natural wonders' you're more like 'let's go shooting things in another country because our President says to,' people." A mocking voice said from behind them.

Jane spun around and held out the spoon that Rodger had given her.

"You really think that's going to work against me Demon Rose?"

"Henderson?" Rodger questioned.

"Yup, now I want to redeem myself."

A/N: oh no...bad, bad, bad...no...evil me! anyways r&r please...maybe Henderson will be nice and not chew me to bits.
