Night was about to fall, Lenno and his men were surrounding the village from the forest. On a moment Alekseyev appeared and got by Lenno's side.

"What are you doing here?"

"Keldysh's orders."

"Where's Sakari?"

"With Keldysh, you know, in case you think about betraying us."

Lenno saw Alekseyev with hate and rage, but he couldn't do anything else. He had to kidnap those children if he wanted to see his son back in one piece.

When the time had come, they approached to the village and surrounded the tents. Verifying that everyone was sound asleep.

Lenno was ready to give the signal, until a strange cylindrical object rolled out of the tent.

"What have you done?!"the mercenary glared at him.

The stunning grenade exploded.

(The Purge siren sounding)

The powerful lights on the trees illuminated the intruders as various troupes came out from the tents. All of them aiming at their target and ready to fight.

"GET DOWN! ON YOUR KNEES! DROP YOUR WAPONS AND STAND DOWN! HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!"

Lenno and his men dropped their weapons and got on their knees with their hands on the back head. The K9 started to check on them, the intruders were clean, so they proceeded to tie up their hands behind the back and put a black bag over their heads.

Previously Kenai had informed Jason and Mandy that while he was drugged, he could hear the Russians talking about attacking the village by night. Thanks to him they could install the lights and some heat cameras on the trees, program the alarm and get the troupes ready for the attack. The elders and the children were hidden in the plane along with Havoc, Delta Team and Pegasus Team. Both ready to protect them in case something went wrong.

Only that they didn't expect another tribe to attack them. They were expecting a crossfire, not spears against guns.

"They're a tribe just like ours" Sitka told Jason as they observed the prisoners.

"All of them are clear and ready for interrogation." said Chena, leader of Falcon Team.

"Alright" Jason "Chena take their leader with Mandy to be interrogated."

"Copy"

"Sitka, go tell the others to be on guard, we need eyes all around the village. May the elders and children stay at the plane, we don't know if this is a set up."

"Roger that"

Falcon leaded to the place where the prisoners were kept.

"Who among you is in charge?" said Chena with an authoritative voice.

At hearing the woman's question Lenno got slowly on his feet, but at the same time Falcon aimed at the head and the chest. Falcon 1 got in front of Lenno.

"Are you the leader of this men?"

"I am"

Falcon 5 and 3 grabbed his arms and took him to Tanana's tent for interrogation.

"Is it him?" asked Mandy

"Affirmative" said Falcon 1

"Sit him on the chair"

Lenno was placed before a table and his hands were tied up with some leashes on this one. The bag was removed from his head, Falcon team leaved the place leaving Mandy alone with him.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Lenno"

"Why did you attacked us?"

"I have no choice"

"What do you mean with that?"

As Lenno was telling Mandy his story the village was in maximum alert. Blackburn and Davis observed the security cameras, the elders and children were still in the plane along with Pegasus and Delta. Jason was patrolling the village making sure everything was in order.

He then saw his team was getting something to eat, when suddenly Brock abruptly got on his feet.

"Where's Chayo?" he asked the others. The worry and fear were reflected on his voice.

"You didn't say that she went for a run this morning?"

"Yes, but she should be back by now. I'm gonna call her, Bravo seven this is five, how copy?"

There was no answer.

"Bravo seven this is five, do you copy?"

That's when Sitka arrived as worried as Brock.

"Jason have you seen Denahi?"

"No, neither Chayo."

"He told me he was going to find more medicine plants."

Jason reasoned for a moment.

"And Brock said Chayo went for a run."

"Coincidence?"

"Come with me."

"Wait! I'll go with you too!"said Brock as he started to follow them up.

The three men went with Mandy, arriving at the tent she came out with an angry face.

"This is blackmail."

"What do you mean?" asked Sitka

"The Russians attacked his tribe and took their children. In exchange for them they must attack village after village and deliver the minors to the Russians."

"Serkin has using them to make the task easy and wash his hands, he's a coward."

"But even if they bring him more children Serkin would not return theirs, am I wrong?" Sitka

Meanwhile at the plain, Kenai couldn't hold it anymore. Some hours had passed since they were refuged at the plain and the only thought of Koda being in the hands of those murderers didn't make thinks better. Kenai even imagined already the fear his little brother should be going through.

Kenai then approached to Blackburn and Davis.

"Uhm Eric..."

"Yes?"

"Do you think I can come out?"

"No Kenai, is too risky."

"I just need to talk to my brothers, I need to know if there's something about Koda or not."

"Bravo one this is Havoc, do you copy?" Davis

"Copy Havoc, what's going on?"

"Kenai needs to know if there's any news about Koda."

"Negative. Neither about Bravo 7 or Phoenix 5."

Hearing this Kenai rushed to the door of the plane, he opened and jumped out of the plain. He started running to the village, he was making way through the troupes as he was desperately looking for at least one of his brothers.

Kenai passed before the group of prisoners when one in particular caught his attention. In his neck were a wolf totem and two military plates. Kenai's heartbeat was getting faster at each step he took.

When he finally had the prisoner in front of him he could prove his theory: It was Denahi's totem and Chayo's plates. Without removing the bag, he managed to take off the totem and the plates from his neck. He then started to run looking for Jason, he found him three minutes later along with Sitka, Mandy and Brock.

"Jason! Sitka!"

"Kenai what are you doing here" asked an angry Sitka "You're supposed to be at the-"

Sitka was cut when Kenai showed the necklaces with fear on his face, as the adults showed horror on theirs.

"Where did you get those?" asked coldly Jason

"One of the prisoners had them"

"Wich one?" Mandy

Kenai started to guide them to the prisoners and pointed at the one who had XXI's century's clothes. Sitka and Brock lifted him and took him to interrogatory, Jason ordered to other soldiers to take out Lenno and next sit the mercenary on the chair and tie up his wrist to the table.

"Kenai could you give me the necklaces please?" Jason

The teen did as he was told and got by the side of his older brother, as Jason, Mandy and Brock got in front of the table. Jason took off the bag from the head unmasking no one else than Alekseyev. Kenai saw him with fear, what caught Sitka's attention and worry.

"Are you alright Kenai?"

"It's him. The man that drugged me and tied the bomb to my chest."

Sitka looked at the mercenary and then to his brother. He surrounded Kenai on his arms.

"Where did you get these?" asked Jason to the mercenary putting the necklaces in his face. Jason's voice said he was at the limit and done with the games.

"I see the bomb didn't work as I thought" said Alekseyev looking at Kenai.

"Answer the fucking question. Where the hell did you get this?!" said Bravo one as he smashed the table with his fist.

The mercenary smiled.

"I think that instead of wasting your time asking stupid questions, you should be out in the forest looking for your partners...before something else happens to them."

Brock had lost it, he rushed himself to Alekseyev and grabbed him by the shirt.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DAUGHTER?!"

"Brock calm down!" said Sitka as he and Jason tried to get him off of the mercenary.

"WHERE IS SHE?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?"

Brock was dragged out of the tent, Sitka tried to calm him down as Jason did a call by radio.

"Havoc this is Bravo one, we have two missing frog men out there in the woods"

"Roger Bravo one, do you know their status?" Davis

"Negative, Phoenix and Bravo will be sent to find them"

"Copy Bravo one, be careful out there"

The three men rushed back to their teams, Sitka told Phoenix by radio to join Bravo Team. Once there they saw both teams ready for action.

"Alright guys, we got two frog men out there. Unknown status, so we got to move fast. Brock"

Jason showed the collars on his palm, Brock just snatched them from him and gave to Cerberus and Saya to get the scent. But all the sudden they saw Kenai coming with a spear on his hand.

"If you want to go hunting you wait until tomorrow" Clay told him sarcastically.

"I'm coming with you"

"No you're not"

"My brother is out there!"

"And that's why I AM GOING Kenai" replied Sitka

"But-"

Sitka just sent him THE Look, Kenai then felt a Hand on his shoulder.

"I'll watch him" Full Metal "Go"

Both dogs started to follow the scent to the woods with both teams behind them, they were getting deeper and deeper in the forest until Cerberus and Saya got behind some bushes.

Jason and Sitka stopped lifting a fist making the two teams stop at the sign. With a hand Sitka told Jason to take the left while he took the right. They were surrounding the bushes, guns up ready for a confrontation, when they heard one of the dogs whining.

"Stay alert" said Jason through the radio.

They slowly approached to the place.

Until...

"NO!"
