Mike dug into my pocket and pulled out the car keys as Ben helped me to the car.
"I haven't been strangled in a long time. Now I remember why I don't like it." There was a beep
"God bless MI6." Mike commented
"I'll drive you shoot." Ben stated and I was swapped from Ben to Mike who got me in the back. Ben pulled out and I swayed
"Shit, the car's bullet proof not politician proof." Mike retorts
"Hey, I'm the president of the United states. I haven't driven a car in six years. What do you want?"
"Let me drive." I groaned in my husky deep voice, I would have that for a while, until my throat healed.
"No, someone just tried to murder you. I'm not letting you near the wheel." Ben snapped
"Fuck, take a left " Mike told Ben and I was wondering where we were going so i asked.
"Where are we going Mike." I lazily looked up at him
"The embassy?" he replied
"Embassy? You said they were expecting that." Ben snapped his head towards Mike shocked and confused as to why we were heading there.
"They are but we are shit out of options. Now take a right." Ben swung right and put his foot down on the gas
"Hey, husband, we are not driving in the F1 race and I would like to survive to kick ass again, take it easy with the gas." I scold from the back seat. Mike kept giving directions to the embassy. But as we got closer but something felt off. Mike noticed it too.
"Something doesn't feel right, slow." The car slowed down. "Left...okay stop." He did and I narrowed my eyes to look through the darkness. I saw figures moving and they were civilians.
"This doesn't look good." Ben breathed
"Love your optimism, Babe." I retort "But you're right, i doesn't look good." I ready my gun
"Could be worse....we could be walking." Ben replied and my face broke out into a smile.
"Attaboy. Don't stop for anyone." Mike was impressed
"Now you can drive like a lunatic." I added. Ben put the car back into drive and pressed his foot down on the peddle speeding up and into a ambush of bullets. I thanked modern technology because they stopped the bullets from doing any quick damage. but it was obvious that it wasn't going to be easy. They set explosions of to kill os or slow us down, either had the same effect. But we kept driving through till it went quiet.
"Are we clear?" Ben wondered and Mike looked past me and back
"Yeah, we made it." they chucked in relief.
"Don't say that." I snapped at them, first rule of survival, you're not save until your on home soil. We haven't got through anything till we're back state...." crash I was sent sideways and my head hit the window as something smashed into us and turned the car over. Everything went into slow motion as I fought to stay conscious. Me in black came and they took Ben.
"No!" my muffle yell came.I scrambled about for my gun and looked to see men coming round to my side of the car. bang, bang, bang I shot ankles and legs. Enough that they cut their losses and drove off. I groaned and turned to see Mike struggling to get out of the car. I made my self turn and crawl out but grabbed the knife from my boot and stabbed one of the man that tried to take me.
"Where is he!" I yelled "Where did the take him?" The man screamed in pain
"Tell me."
"Easy! Easy!" I was pulled away and take around the other side of the car and let down next to Mike.
"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.
