Grace of Olympus

Chapter Seventeen - Not out of the woods, yet

"You've got to be Banning and Mrs Asher." A soldier removed his face covering "Will Davies, Captain 22, SAS. Trumbull sent us Code Jekyll Island." he introduced himself

"My husband has just been taken, would have taken me. These motherfuckers intended to publicly execute him." I huff out "code conformation would have surfaced right now."

"We know. At 8PM, It's all over the internet. We'll take care of it. Move up." Davies ordered

"Hey, hey wait!" Mike bent down and grabbed our two guns handing one to me

"Look, we can't let you come with us, mate."

"Excuse you, how many times have you saved this man's ass?" I retort he didn't say anything "That's what I thought, he's my husband and I'm gonna go get him. Now you can either shoot me or be my entourage." I sassed

"Oh demoted to entourage." Mike commented

"Shut up, Mike."

"Yes boss.  Destination work sire on broad wick and Lexington." he replied

"Okay let's go." I walk off down the street

"I wouldn't mess with her if I were you...mate." I glance back at Mike who caught up to me as the SAS followed. 15 minutes and we reached Brodick and Lexington. I ducked down behind a car, as i observed the area Davis came over to us and handed me a radio.

"box command." he handed it to me and i rolled my eyes

"Asher." I called over

"Grace Asher? Ma'am, Chief Inspector Hazard, Scotland Yard. Hold your location. Our military will be on your location in 20 minutes." came the response

"No offence but even I'm not that dumb to calculate that's 10 minutes to late, or are you attempting to get my husband killed." I snapped back

"You don't understand. We have NSA imagery of where you're going. It's their base of operations. There are nearly a 100 terrorists in there." Hazard informed me and I glanced at Mike

"Sounds like a party. Our invitation must have gotten lost." Mike snorted

"They should have brought more men." Mike added as i handed the radio back to Davis and readied myself "Things are about to get sporty."

"Just watch your balls." Davis replied

"Pardon you." I snip "Some of us don't need them. You ready danger mouse?" I turn my attention to my best friend.

"Rock and Roll." We fist bumped then rose to our feet guns out, we started shooting at them and they at us. We supported each other moving forward behind cars, bins and walls. To get closer to Ben.

"You know, I think Lioness was a appropriate designation." I breathe the threw out a grande to a van that just pulled up firing on us "Was that your idea?" I wonder

"Lynne's" he answered as I lent out shooting at a shooter. We moved out firing at enemy targets and slipping ever closer. We granddad out a room where they were shooting from and I jumped in without another thought using it as a quicker route. Mike followed as we came out in front shooting at them and clearing the way for the SAS. I reloaded my gun and went back out. This first plan wasn't going so well. ruling we joined back up with Davies.

"OK uck that." Mike breathed

"They're dug in like ticks on a fur back." Davis replied "We can't storm that building with a small force."

"Yeah, they'd kill the President the second we tried." Mike agreed

"Well we can't just sit here, I'm not becoming a widow before I've actually been a wife. Call Box command, make sure the utilities here are isolated and switched on." I glance out a plan or a idea coming.

"You sound like a woman with a plan."

"I've had better, but this will have to do. You see that generator, kill it." I tell them and Davis gives the order "Now i need a floor plan, Mike do the spooky mind reading shit." I tell him as we were given a tablet. He looked at me and I nodded

"This is what we've got. This a three story building. The entrance point is here." Mike explained as I kept a look out "There are two stairwells, one here and one here. We believe that the president is being held in this room on the second floor."

"Hold your position. Hit this building with everything you've got." I add "Keep them busy and the two of us will sneak in"  I handed him a controller

"Do not that push it till I tell you."

"Are you fucking crazy?" Davies asked us.

"Yeah, we are, wish us luck. And please don't shoot us." I ran out first and called the scaffolding with Mike hot on my heals we made our way through and jumped into the gaping hold we had created in the building and inside. I shared and exasperated glance with Mike and then picked myself up. We saw flashlights and hid out of sight till they passed, then moved forward stooping on their side of the half being a poking out bit that hid us. We took out our night vision gogle and slipped them on and gave each other a thumbs up. I saw a rope dropping down through a hole and signalled it to Mike who nodded. He gestured for me to go first and i did slipping down and moving out of the way. I lowered the lens. Seeing more clearly. I went on ahead setting the first charge then glanced back seeing Mike joined me.

I held my gun up and we staled closer, Mike took out the guard while I set another charge.
