The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 81Maddox’s point of viewIt's been a couple of hours now, and Jake and the team have already started to move men into the hospital. Three teams have managed to gain access so far and Adam has links to all of the hospital security cameras, so that we can see the teams as they move their equipment inside on the live feeds. The snippers have also managed to gain access to the roof of the building now..It’s just a matter of getting them in position and waiting for the right time.I turn to Jake as I ask, When do we move in, Boss?” I'm beginning to feel antsy; I need to be down at the hospital; I need to be as near to Ruby as I can get. “Zane’s loading the trucks up now; we'll be moving out soon, Maddog”, Is his reply.“Good”, I mutter.Thank good for that I’m going insane waiting around here. He turns back to me and says, “Go and check on Adam. Make sure he has everything that he needs for the communications van,”I nod my head as I reply, “Sure

The Swift Security SeriesMaddog83Ruby’s point of viewI’m sitting with my back against the wall; between myself and Ian, we somehow managed to get everyone sitting against the wall the way Maddox had asked. I don't think the terrorists have noticed, as it looks as though we are just trying to get comfortable for the night ahead. Iad had managed to find more blankets and pillows as we tried to make everyone as comfortable as possible.After a hushed conversation, we have also decided to keep what we know to ourselves for now, as we don't want the terrorists to become suspicious. There is nothing more left to do as we wait nervously and listen to the seconds on the clock slowly ticking by.Ian turns to look at me as he whispers,“Are you okay, Ruby?”I sign as I reply, “Yeah” although I feel nothing, but I’m worried for Maddox and his team; these people have a lot of weapons and explosives with them.“I just pray that we all get out of here alive,” I say as I turn back to IanIan gra

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 85Ruby’s point of viewAfter hugging Maddox and promising to ring him as soon as I've got Ysabel settled, I walk towards the supply tent, looking for Ian and Ysabel. I smile as I see them sitting at a table, and Ysabel is eating a cake,“So this is where you two are hiding.”I say as Ian smiles and replies, “Yes, second chocolate cake and one in our pocket for later, isn't that right, Ysabel?”Ysabel looks up at me with a smile on her face as she says, “can I go to your house now, Ruby?”I sigh as I take a seat at the table and whisper, “Not yet, sweetie”, She starts crying. This poor child. I take one of her trembling hands in mine as I look her in the eye and say, “Listen, Ysabel, I need you to be a really big girl for me, I know that I promised to look after you, and I meant that, but Mary here is going to do everything that she can so that you can come home with me. I’m so sorry, Ysabel, but that isn't going to happen tonight.”She looks

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 87Ruby’s point of viewWere sitting on the floor of the day room where Ysabal has laid a blanket on the floor as we sit amongst a pile of stuffed toys and a plastic tea set; I smile as I look over to Maddox holding a tiny little tea cup with his pinkie finger held out. He catches me looking at him and sends me a wink, not in the least bit fazed by any of this.It makes me so happy that Ysabel looks pretty comfortable with him, and Maddox is equally at ease with her. I look at him as he smiles back at me to think that I once thought of this man as nothing but an arrogant player; how wrong was I? He's amazing.Carmel returns to the room again, looking at me as she says, “Ruby, Maddox Mary is waiting for you in the office; Ysabel could you be a sweetheart and pour me a drink.” She sits down on the blanket as Ysabel passes her one of the plastic cups pretending to pour her tea into it before she takes a pretend sip. Maddox takes my hand, pulling

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 89Maddox’s point of viewWe're heading back to the bunker after collecting Ruby's belongings and fitting her house with the new security system; Zane turns to me as he says, “Have you packed everything that she needs?”“I hope so; this is all kind of new to me, I say as he chuckles. I have no idea what a woman needs. To be honest, apart from the sexy underwear, of course, Zane grins as he says, “I hope you packed her some comfortable underwear and not all of her sexy lingerie.” I blush, and Adams laughs as he says, “Haha, your in trouble, Maddog.”“I tipped the whole drawer into a suitcase; I’m not sorting through a woman's knickers,” I laugh. Honestly, though, I couldn't care less what kind of knickers Ruby wears because if I have my, way she won't be wearing them long.Zane shakes his head, “haha, you shithouse, I bet you are quick enough at getting them off though” Mindreader much!I change the subject before they carry on with their ban
