Dinner was a subdued affair as they sat around the table, eating quietly and watching Elodie slurp up the noodles. The tiny girl's eyes started to droop, and they both got up at the same time to get her out of the chair she had been sitting in. "Mestwo?” she asked. "I SLeeppee."
"Okay, Elodie.” He said as he picked her up. She looked at Sarah and grabbed at her hand to pull her along as well; it brought a smile to Sarah's face as she looked at the girl over Mitsuhide's shoulder. She was glad that the girl felt comfortable around them despite what had happened to her in the past few days. She had always heard that children were resilient but never understood until now what that really meant. She watched as he gently placed the girl down in the playpen and covered her up. Her eyes were half-closed already when he went over and turned off the light and left the door half-open. He took the Princess's hand to lead her away from the room and upstairs to wh
"Wha—," she found herself back in his arms being carried toward the back of the house. He kicked open a door on the opposite side of where Elodie was fast asleep. She looked about the room bathed in darkness as he placed her down on the bed. When he climbed in and stayed looming above her, she couldn't place the look in his eyes as anything but desire. They glowed in the darkness, much like an animal when the light hits them. His mouth took hers gently, but as the dam burst that he must have held back since the first time they met, she could feel everything he had built up. He cradled her head and then rolled her on top of him. Everything that he felt was shining in his eyes in the darkn
She awoke while it was still dark. She felt relaxed beyond anything she had ever dreamed of. A heavy arm was tossed over her side, and she quickly remembered why she was so deeply relaxed. His soft breathing behind her brought her back to reality from her dreams. As she turned slightly, she saw that he was also awake as she looked into his haunting eyes."Did I wake you?” he asked as he moved closer and nipped at her nose lightly. His arm still heavy on her side, tucked her closer to him as he rubbed her back gently. He had been enjoying just watching her as she slept so peacefully in that sated state."No.," she said. He rolled over on to his back, and she curled up next to his side. She felt it was her place to be there as he gently chuckled. He was also warm, and the air around them had chilled a bit."Then go back to sleep, Princess,” he said as he kissed her forehead."I don't think I can.” She said. Imagines of the pr
Two weeks later......"What do you mean you lost him?” Col. Oda nearly yelled in the middle of the main floor of the building. "We had the son of a bitch now you can't find him?""Sorry, sir.” the tech said."Don't be sorry. Just find his ass again.” Col. Oda said.Col. Oda stomped away, and the slammed the door behind him. He sat down in his chair and knew he should take a break. He couldn't, though. He looked at the picture on his desk, his team. They were a ragtag bunch, but he genuinely cared for all of them. All but three of them were gone now that were in the picture, and he would give his last breath to make sure the other two stayed alive. Aaron could easily take over for him when he did retire as long as he still had a hand to guide him, and she was that hand. She was the reason the team was founded in the first place, this building, these people they probably didn't know her story or her origins, but
A Few Days later…."Why did he leave Elodie alive?” she asked to herself as she was pacing the room. She had been thinking about the case and how unusual it really was. Sarah was trying to separate herself from the actual case by thinking about it as something that was happening around her instead of to her. Though she was remaining neutral, she knew that was difficult when she let her mind wander to how this was affecting her life. It had changed it completely.Sarah had always been the go-to person to handle things like this in the field. Her detachment had been things all the soldiers that met her had commented on at some point. She was so good at it people often wondered if she even had feelings at all. She knew the downside to it, though. She could focus on the task at hand, and it would hit her later on out of the blue. It could easily sideline her without much warning.Though she also knew that this was her life on
"Colonel, it isn't as easy as running a search,” Marie said as she handed him the report for Mitsunari's lab. "We are working as fast as we can, but sir, it is just the two of us, and we have to search every facility's records."He looked up at the smaller woman who had never said anything more than hello to him as she would scurry away as fast as she could away from him. He was surprised to see her handing the report to him instead of the mild-mannered young man who ran one of the labs underneath the princess. Oda was consumed with the thoughts of bringing her and Aaron home as it was now close to a month of having them in hiding. Aaron had been holed up traveling with one of the spec ops guys moving every three days, the two were now at each other's throats and would soon come to blows if they didn't act fast. The princess, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy her captor a little too much, another reason to bring them home. Col. Oda couldn't place the unde
In the dim lighted room that was attached to the labs in the main building that everyone worked in the two people sat as they went through the databases one by one to find the entries they needed to find. The only way that it seemed to locate where this person who hid in the darkness could be. Four of their people were in the wind and hiding because of them and they needed to bring them home safely.Mitsinari's amethyst eyes lit up. He started making notes as he waited for the copier to print. "I found it!” he said with an exclamation that wasn’t normally in his voice. Almost of two weeks of searching he thought he really did have the answer this time. They would be one step closer to bring the princess home along with Aaron and the two people they used to guard them."You did?” Marie asked."Worse than looking for a needle in a needle stack, but yes, I did,” he said."Where?” she asked."Outside of DC,&r
The four agencies moved fast and were in place within a few hours. Six teams were standing by ready to breach the building and hopefully take down the person responsible for the many deaths and the fact that two of theirs had to go into hiding for a month. Colonel Oda and a small team stood off to the side, waiting for the breach to happen.The teams entered and went radio silent. This was the part he hated, the waiting. He held his breath as he heard the gunfire started, he hoped that no one would be hurt in this. He listened to the "clear" over the comms and went in to see what went on. He walked into a small room in the back and saw everything. It was almost too much to take in, but he did. Not only had this man planned every detail of the torture he documented it as he applied it. Photos tapes to the wall, details written out explaining every bit of the process, he also had a kit on the table with the drugs that lead them to him, the most distu
"WHAT?” Aaron exploded."I see.” Oda responded."Now? You pick now to tell people?” Mitsuhide asked. Throwing his hands in the air."I was going to tell you later, and you weren't supposed to hear that now.” She said as she smiled at him.
