What the hell are they doing here? That RAT Morelli I swear if Terry weren´t pregnant I would have shot him the moment he stepped into the cave. They better have a good explanation for being here. If this indeed should be an attempt to kill me or mine, it was pitiful. Mentors and friends or not, try to harm what´s mine and you won´t live long enough to regret it. They'd be dead before they hit the ground.
Luckily that didn´t seem to be the case. As soon as I looked them in the eyes, I knew something was going on and that they were here for me not after me. Nevertheless, I followed protocol and had the Merry Men disarm and search them for trackers.
When the Merry Men were finished I introduced them. I know I shocked Ranger and the others but I couldn´t care less right now. I threw my arms around all four and whispered.
"I am so going to kill you for the stunt you just pulled." They all chuckled.
These men are my family, they forged me into the woman I am today and through the last three years, and they kept me sane, especially after I learned about Tank. Sure Ranger and the Merry Men always supported me and I love them dearly but due to my mission, I could never be my true self with them.
"I don´t suspect this is a courtesy call. What´s up?" I asked.
However, before one of them could answer a very irritated Ranger interrupted.
"Just a moment" he said as he grabbed me by my arms. "You were trained by Col. Sanders? Jesus Stephanie, you said you was trained by soldiers, Sanders is a damn Rangers legend. He.."
"MANOSO" Sanders´ barked, "Stop this nonsense. Unhand Nyx we have more important things to discuss."
"Sir, yes, Sir" I saluted. I couldn't help it I might not be in the Army any longer but I will always be a soldier.
" At ease soldier." Sanders said.
"Nyx we have a Mordor15. " The Spymaster added.
I froze.
`Those Stupid Dumbshit Goddamn Motherfuckers.`
"Report" I barked and Sanders immediately obeyed.
"Alert at 0700 hours. Contacted Morelli at 0715. All clear when we arrived. No traps. Tango went off the grid in Curlew minutes before we came in. Alpha is half an hour behind."
That´s why I love working with these guys; no chit chat and no questioning my competences. They once had been my teachers but we have been equals for years now. They accept that I am in charge because it´s my backup plans we are executing; following my lead no questions asked.
"Steph" Pike said. Uh- oh, I´m only called by my given name if something I won´t like is coming, otherwise I´m only addressed as Nyx. The name of honor they gave me after I successfully finished my training.
"Alpha is Leland´s team."
Leland!
"Ass kissing, cock sucking, back stabbing Son of a BITCH"
Suddenly the stakes became so much higher. Automatically my mind palace switched into combat mode.
I am Nxy.
The Goddess of Night.
Tonight I will bring terror and despair.
15 Mordor is a obviously a code. The Name however is from LotR.
