Author's Note: I have to admit I've been super excited to start posting these next chapters. Up until now the story has pretty much followed the 2023 Ice Princess storyline. Originally the story stayed on that course with a handful of extra scenes to wrap it up. Then a little plot bunny hopped it's way into the story which we'll start to see at the end of this chapter. That being said, this is a short chapter. Unfortunately unlike last week where i had time to post an additional chapter, I most likely won't have time. It's one of my busier weeks. Just a heads up. Happy reading and hope you all have a great weekend.
Jason came back into the office, "It's definitely snowing and it's happening up and down the east coast."
"I have get to back out to the main part of the warehouse," Kellie said, "See what's going on."
Kellie ran out of the office before Jason could stop her. She entered the warehouse with Jason and Lulu following behind her.
Kellie analyzed what was going on the screen as Lulu and Jason caught up to her.
"This isn't a warehouse," Lulu said, "This is a full-blown situation room. How did you manage to keep this from everyone?"
"It's the room no one is allowed to talk about," Kellie said, seeing the images, "Don't even tell Dante."
"I think I got a hold of Adam," Spinelli said.
"Kellie, did our signal come back in," Adam's voice came over the speakers.
"We can hear you loud and clear," Kellie said.
"I can hear the bombers in the distance," Adam said, "I found the Haunted Star. It's several miles away."
"Keep track of the Haunted Star," Kellie said, "but pull our people back. Get to safety and then look for survivors when it's safe."
"Copy," Adam said before he gave instructions over the radio to the rest of the boats.
Then they heard the sound of the boats moving followed by the sound of the bombers.
They all watched as the bombers came into view on the video and satellite feeds. The pilots chattered about coordinates and they watched the bombers change course.
"What are they doing?" Lulu asked.
"They're headed for the Haunted Star," Adam's voice came muffled over the feeds.
They all watched as the Haunted Star exploded.
"The plan changed," Kellie said, stunned "They didn't take out the island. Adam, can you still hear us?"
"Loud and clear," Adam said.
"Check the wreckage for survivors," Kellie said, "Send the rest of the teams to secure the island and recover the rest of the crew. Be advised the WSB is probably on the way to secure it."
"I'll let you know as soon as we find any one," Adam said, ending the call.
"I'm going to try to get a hold of the Commissioner or one of the Scorpio Brothers," Kellie said, "See if they know what happened. Jason, can you get a hold of Sam and let her know the latest in regards to Drew?
"Sure," Jason said, "I'd suggest not trying to call Robert or Mac given they are in official law enforcement positions and we're not entirely sure about the WSB right now."
"I was thinking Dante," Kellie said, "Or…..that might work too."
Jason went to make his call and Kellie made hers.
"Hi Felicia, It's Kellie Corinthos," Kellie said, "You haven't by chance heard anything about our mutual friends lately have you?"
"We heard from Laura that Victor was on the Haunted Star with the virus," Felicia said, "The WSB redirected the strike to the Haunted Star."
"I can confirm the strike was redirected," Kellie said, "But you didn't get that information from me."
"Of course not," Felicia said.
"I have my team checking the wreckage and headed to the island," Kellie said.
"Tell them to be careful. I'm sure the WSB isn't far behind," Felicia.
"They will," Kellie said, "They know how to disappear too if needed."

Meanwhile, Taggert had been looking for Trina and anyone else Victor might have been holding hostage. He was searching every room, nook, and cranny in the building. A frantic banging and yelling from the room at the very end of the hall caught his attention. A scruffy, unshaven face peered out of the dirty window.
