Saving the World One Bra at a Time

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia had been rolled and tossed and tumbled more then she had ever been in her life, and when the blinding rays of light hit her she was ready to scream, if she could have. She had been trying desperately to communicate with the other occupants of the van, but hadn't been able to. It was difficult to tell someone of the shadowy figure in the corner, that was securely buckled in. However, now with the light from the doors being flung open, the figure was no longer shadowy but was about to pump a mess full of lead into whoever had just hastily flung open the doors.

She could see the man relax, and assumed he recognized whoever had opened the doors, then she knew there was more trouble when that same face curled in rage. Something or someone had screwed up the Russians plans for the girls, and now there was one more body in the mix of espionage and secrets. Her pinkie and thumb now had a bit of feeling in them, and she even had managed to blink a few times, and curl her toes.

“Fuck,” she thought to herself, as she listened to the man tell them he was there for Gabi and herself. His voice seemed to be stepping away from the van, and he hadn't had a real good look inside. He had known about Author and Greg, but not about the hidden Russian in the back. “Shit, he's gonna get himself killed, before I can figure out who the fuck he is!“ Sophia was getting more and more angry, and she glared at the figure, as he slowly moved to the front of the van. One of the doors had swung shut and the man was now crouching toward it.

“Well, thanks for trying... I think,” Sophia said to herself, anticipating the sounds of bullets riddling their “saviour”. Thoughts of Reese assailed her, and she pictured their bodies in the heat of love making. Thoughts of the quick fuck on the plane were nothing to her, she only wanted to be back in Reese's arms. It was funny, after all this time of being in and out of relationships, it was Reese she had always come back to. He owned her really, gave her things she wanted, she didn't even know she desired. “God, Reese, I'm sorry, you don't trust me...and now... I can't trust you.“ A tear trickled down her eye, as she waited for someone else to die.

Spinning around,both pistols out in a flash.He fell to one knee and both of his pistols wisped was the silencers cutting the noise of the shot down to nothing.His kept clicking the trigger,the slider kicking back each time and sending another bullet into the third Russian that had tried to sneak up on him.He fire five shots from each gun and the riddled corpse fell onto his ass and then fell to his back,blood pouring from every wound.

With a cold face and a stone like stare,there was nothing on his face,completely blank.Spinning the pistols around his fingers before sliding them into the holsters in a fashionable manner,Connor lifted his hand and drew across his body in the shape of a cross,speaking in Latin.Finally looking around,he noticed the four of them were naked and not moving.They must have used some sort of nerve killing sort of restraint.They were already wrapped in plastic,so it wouldn't be hard to move them.

Unzipping his military style bag,he drew out a bunch of massive sleeping bags and unzipped them.He carefully placed each plastic wrapped girl into one of them and zipped them up inside of them for warmth.He showed no expression to any of them,going about his job with a degree of supreme professionalism.To each sleeping bag,he tied a tough cable to it and placed safety clamps on the end of the cable.Locking the safety clamps to some hooks on his shoulder,he began to walk away from the van,pulling the girls bodies behind him.

He left the men there,they would be able to move in a few hours and no one ever takes this trail,so they wouldn't be killed.The keys were in the car and it could still go,if they changed the tires.Also there was some clothes and a couple dollars in the front seat of the car,so they would not die.His mission was the girls and no one else,if the men got in the way...Connor was ready to kill them.Walking normally through the snow,he easily dragged the weight of each girl,figuring they couldn't complain very much.

It had been an hour and yet he wasn't even sore yet.He kept dragging the girls through the snow,constantly looking back to make sure no one was following him.He had braved the blizzard pretty well and the cabin he had was only a mile away from him.Unstrapping both girls,he set them down and threw one over each shoulder...they were beautiful and inshape,so they didn't weigh to much.He slinked through the snow,working on leaving no tracks as he carried the girls towards the cabin.

The finally arrived.It was an old cabin from mybe the fifties.It didn't have much but it had a good roof and insolation.It was made of wood and it was sturdy.There was a fence up over the entire place with chicken wire.There was a postioned gattling gun on the roof,fully loaded: Connor didn't fuck around.Carrying the girls through the door,it was a small four room cabin:Main room/Kitchen,Girls room,Connor's room and Bathroom.The girls had the largest room and there was two seperate beds in their with a closet and that was about it.He placed each girl onto a bed.They were comfortable but old.The sheets looked recently washed and smelled nice.

Unzipping the sleeping bags and pulling the girls out of them,he looked at the plastic they were wrapped it.Who wrapped a person in plastic? thats weird.Pulling the plastic off of the first girl,he thought she was amazingly beautiful.He began to dress her with some spare men's pants and shirt.He would have to apoligize they had no undergarments,but Connor didn't carry bra's and panties,being a guy and everything.

He unplasticed the other sister.He noticed the strap on and since he had first seen her,it was sort of weird.He pulled it off and left it by the side of the bed.He then dressed her in some spare pants and a spare shirt of his.They were just regular gray shirts and black pants,what he usually wears.He turned off the pull off light.It became dark quickly and he pulled the covers over the two girls as he walked out of the room.

Taking a seat in an old,time worn chair Connor rested his head back against the top of the chair and sank into it.He was sort of tired and it had been a long walk,dragging both of the girls.He thought about those girls and wondered was secrets they held.They were the key and if he had any sort of chance at saving the world,he would have to keep them alive.By his life or death,he will protect them,to his last breath until the world was saved.

"Okay," Sophia thought to herself, "I can deal with this." She thought for a moment, her body, she hoped was warm enough. The drag through the snow seemed to have help her. She could feel more movement and sensations in her body. Her fingers were now flexing, all of them, as well as her ankles. "I can blink, and wiggle my nose," she told herself. "I wonder," she tried to make a noise, and thought she heard something, but she didn't know for sure. She blinked her eyes, and stopped to think for a moment.

The guy, wasn't killing them, at least not now. He hadn't bothered with Aurther or Greg, so he wasn't after them at all, and had left them alive. Kinda indisposed, but alive, so he wasn't one to kill just for the thrill of it, that was good. She was dressed, at least she knew or was pretty sure he hadn't molested her, she prayed that Gabi was okay, and she hadn't been mistreated either.

Her eyes blinked several times, and she took a deep breath, one that she herself took in, not one her body naturally consumed while she had been imobile. "Hey," the word barely a whisper to her own ears, "shit, she muttered, not knowing if she was loud enough or not. She looked up at the ceiling and began to count the knots in the wood. Sophia made it 1000, before she fell asleep.

Cassandra moved from the bed, and headed to the shower. She had this cabin built, then had the people who had built if for her taken care of. She wasn't a mean woman, but her past told her to cover her ass, and she did what she had to in order to do it. Filling the tub with hot water, she slipped her sexually satisfied body into the steamy bath.

The water covered her, and she allowed it to relax her body. Recalling the details of her past had opened wounds, and she had kept them closed so long ago. They hadn't discussed his past, his secrets or his reasons for leaving the girls in the system. They would discuss it sometime, when it was necessary, right now, Cassandra just wanted to stay here with him, at least for a few hours. She would make contact with the girls, she would find them, explain everything to them, let them know she loved them, then they would be a family again.

The door to the bathroom opened, and she looked up into the eyes of her soul-mate, her perfect match.

"Got room, for another," he asked.

"Always," she answered back.

Alex moved into the bathroom, and Cassandra moved up. She felt his body slide behind her, and she sighed against him, as she leaned back into him. His cock pressed against her back, and she relaxed as he washed her body.

His fingers found every patch of flesh, and stroked it tenderly. "We haven't even begun to relive our lives have we?"

"No," she answered. Turning her head, she captured his lips.

"Do you keep the things we like here?"

"Yes, I've never used this place except to come here and think of us, and the girls, and all I lost."

He ran his fingers through her wet lips and soon was entering her pussy with two fingers. "I think we need to play with them, later."

"Mmmm... yes," she moaned against him. "Later."

 

[Rockingham]

"Yeah, that's it... come on," The knife slid against his forearm, blood pouring like spilt wine from his arm. Three other gashes were already there, large clawmarks that still spilled fresh blood.

They had him tied to a chair, leather straps keeping him from moving. Two other Russians were inside the room besides Dolph. Dolph had the knife, while the others sat in the shadows. One was a woman, with incredible legs. She smoked a cigarette and watched as Tom was being mutilated.

"Where are they?"

Tom's whole arm felt like it was about to buirst into flame, "Ohio. I left them there for the Oktoberfest. Told them I'd just be a few minutes. They were supposed to start witho..."

Dolph let the knife slip beneath the flesh and grind against bone. Tom screamed out pain, blood squirting up in the air, only to fall uselessly on the floor. A wonderful cumstain that needed to be cleaned up.

"Oh God!" Tom screamed, "You fucking bitch... you motherfucking bitch. I'm gonna get you for that one... Oh god. I'm gonna fuck the shit out of you and your little Barbie friend over here. You just give me half a chance. You fucking cunt, give me half a chance..."

"Where are they?" She lit another cigarette.

"Up my ass. Wanna go check?"

The knife pressed again. Tom could actually see the bone now, it stared up at him, pearly white against the red blood and muscle. He tighened, and could see his muscles flexing and loosening. Blood was everywhere... he could taste it in his mouth, smell it in the air. Even Dolph got some in his hair.

"Their blood is important, Tom. Your's isn't. How long you want to keep this going?"

Tom felt himself grow weak, and cold. His body shook once more, involuntary. He could feel his strength leaving him.

"I can go all night, baby. My record was thirteen hours, and what was with some fucking whore who didn't know what she was doing. I am sure you and I could break that record if you want.

"Go on bitch, I ain't tellin you nothing. Cut me up as much as you want. Cut it off for all I care. Haven't you heard about me? I love pain. My Sophia is going to rescue me, you just watch. I'll be walking out of here."

Dolph looked over at the woman, who nodded. In the shadow Tom could barely see it. At that point he turned back around and started unzipping Tom's pants.

"You sure you wouldn't mind if we cut it off Tom?"

The knife slipped against Tom's penis, breaking the skin open. Red blood poured against his rock hard penis. Dolph grabbed it with a less than loving grip, held it in his hand. During all this, he couldn't help but think of his Sophia, the pain they shared together. He was rock hard, and even the knife wouldn't shrivel it.

"Castration. You aren't a very good negotiator. We need to work up to that. Threaten my nose... maybe stab me in the lung or something... and then go to the penis. Perhaps then you could..."

The knife slipped further, pressing against muscle.

"ON a plane heading to Arizona!!!! ARIZONA!!! OH GOD! Flight 318 out of Poland. A private jet, won't be on many log books. Six passengers, including a couple of twins, they are bodyguards for the girls, to make sure nothing happens to them."

The Russian woman came out of the shadows, and planted a kiss on Tom's forehead.

"Good boy."

Tom never felt so turned on in his life.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

It had been snowing really hard all through the night as all three of the agents slept peacefully(or at least Connor did).The cabin was cold by the time Connor was up.The heater was run by a boiler and fire,really old school technology and he hadn't kept the fire going through the night,so it was pretty cold inside the cabin.It was dry though and that was a plus.Also the king size bed was slightly old yet it was comfortable and the blankets kept Connor warm: He almost didn't want to get up...Almost.

Routinuely,he was on his feet and dressed in a fresh pair of clothes: All white,heavy snow camo pants and a white shirt with a large white snow jacket.He walked into the one small bathroom and turned on the sink,cold water pouring out it and onto his cupped hands.He splashed some onto his face and looked into the mirror,at the reflection of him in it.He looked into his own emerald eyes and sighed.He looked burdaned yet he was well rested.Rubbing sleepies out of his eyes,he strentched a little bit and then brushed his teeth and used some mouth wash,spitting it into the sink.

He walked by the girls room and peeked his head into the room,making sure they were safe and sleeping.Closing the door softly,not to disturb them he exited into the main room.He wasn't hungry so he didn't need anything to eat but the girls might,so he was glad he brought a bunch of food,so they could at least last for a week in his blizzard.Moving over to his bag,he pulled out both of his silenced pistols and placed them into their holsters on each side of his hip.Zipping the black bag up,he slid it under one of the many nice chairs sitting by the fire place that was not burning anything.

Opening the door,he stepped out into the knee deep snow that had built up during the blizzard and fought his way through to the back of the cabin where a trunk sat with a maul sticking into it.Pulling out the maul,he pulled some already cut peiced of tree from under the snow and set them on the wood.He began to chop away,splitting on section.Then cutting another and another until he had a nice,organized pile of fire wood ready to burn.Pushing through the snow,he found the door that lead into the basement and opened it up,walking down the steps into the basement of the cabin.

It was dry and stone walled.It was cozy yet packed with all sorts of crates and things that were littered everywhere.In the back was a massive iron boiler that was full of warm water for a shower and warm water that was used as a heater.He opened the boiler to make sure there was water and there was a large supply of it.Arranging the fire wood in the fire pit below the boiler,he light a match blew the fire into existance.Soon it was roaring and eating up the fire he had placed there,the fire licking the bottom of the boiler and causing the entire thing to heat up.

Stepping out of the basement and into the deep snow,the wind had started to pick up again and the snow was comming down pretty hard yet he had some physical training he had to do now.He closed the basements door and threw some snow back onto it.Walking back onto the snow cover porch,he picked up a massive backpack filled with large stones.He threw it on his back and began to run laps around the perimeter of the fencing.He looked at all of the fencing,it had been erected pretty well and chicken wire was wound along the top of fencing.He looked at the locked metal gate that would be pretty hard to get through.He had secured the place himself,setting all the chicken wire up and everything.He did 100 laps around the perimeter.Taking a deep breath,he pulled the pack off and it crashed through the snow,it weighed a ton(figuratively).

Stepping back out into the snow,he began to run through some basic kata's of the tweleve styles of martial arts he had mastered.Doing some basic kicks,punches,throws and some training tricks,he trained vigerously and he attempted to stay in peak phyiscal and fighting condition.Taking a breather,he practiced during each of his guns at least 100 times simultaniously,making sure he was quick on the draw.Finally,he was about warmed up now,but it had been at least 4 or 5 hours and he would need to cook breakfust for the girls,at least one of them would be up by now.

He pulled off his boots and entered the now warmed up cabin and entered into the kitchen,it being a part of the main room anyways.He pulled out some pasta roni and some cookable chicken breasts.Washing his hands well with soap,he got out a couple of pans and set two different pots ontop of the stove,setting some water to boil.Deftly cutting some chicken,his butcher knife worked skillfully with the chicken,cutting off the fat and preparing the chicken breasts to be cooked.Setting three chicken breasts into the oven,the water was boiling already.Throwing some pasta noodles and the seasoning that come in the packages,he stirred the two different pots of two different kinds of pasta.He didn't plan on eating anything because it wasn't his job to survive: The girls were more important than anyone in the world right now.

Being the kind of guy who puts the weight of the world on his shoulders,he continued to cook,despite the rumbling in his belly.The food looked really good yet none of it was for him.As time continued on,the pasta was finished and steaming as he took the pot off of the oven and poured the stuff into a couple of clean,military style bowls.Then pulling the cooked chicken out,the oven was old yet it cooked better than most ovens because it didn't have all the restrictions on it,it was unsafe yet it cooked amazingly well.Dicing the chicken into little bits,he put peices of chicken into each of the two bowls and began mix the chicken in.It was a pretty healthy and warm meal.

Taking one of the bowls in his hand,he grabbed a fork and set it inside the bowl and slipped into the girls room,checking if any of the girls where awake and ready to eat anything.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia had awaken again, this time all of her feeling had returned, and she had been busy flexing her fingers, and toes. Her muscles were weak, and she was trying to gauge her surroundings. She could barely remember some man dragging her over the snow, "How chivalrous, she thought sarcastically, as she remember the feeling of being a sack of potatoes. She still had no clue as to who the person was, and who he worked for, let alone why she was still alive.

Her fingers had crept out, and she had rolled her fingers over her sisters limp hand, then she had managed to roll her weaked body over to gaze at Gabi's face, "Honey, wake up," she had asked her sister. Nothing had showed her even beginning to stir. Sophia had decided that her body was just taking longer to recover from the drug. Gabi had just come out of surgery and been globe trotting days later. She obviously was getting that much needed rest, and she'd be around soon.

Sophia's eyes were now counting the knots in the ceiling beams again, when she heard the door of the room open. "Oh fuck," she thought to herself. She laid there, her eyes following the man with the tray, and taking stock of him. He wasn't your typical good samaritan, she told herself.

Her eyes captured his well built form, and the way he walked cocky and sure of himself, but also aware of his surroundings. She watched him move closer, and her body tensed in anticipation of something, but she wasn't sure what. She was curious how close he was planning on getting to her. Her mind all ready working ways to protect her sister, as he watched her watch him.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

He noticed one of the girls was already able to move a little bit.The drug was wearing off.He had hoped to be able to talk with her because he had a injection that were cure the poison in their veins,but being a civilized man he would not just stick the poor girl without asking for anything.She needed rest anyways because they had been in the cramped van for at least a day of hard riding.He knew she was concious of him entering into the room.He put on his stone like complexion,being as professional as he could be.

He wore white snow pants and a plain dark gray shirt on his chest that was pretty tight on him.He still wore both of his silenced pistols at his sides and he looked dangerous yet when she looked into his eyes,she knew that he was as tame as a housebroken dog right now and was not here to kill her.Steam exsaperated from the hot bowl of food and he moved across to the side of her bed.

"Good morning Sophia,My name is Connor" He introduced himself formally.He had a beautiful irish accent and a mellow bass voice.He put a slight smile on his face and it seemed to brighten his entire complexion."I am not sure your strong enough to get up or anything,but I have the cure to the nerve dampening poison in your veins and with your premission I will remove it so you can get control over your body again.Also,I brought you some food to eat.Its chicken and noodles,plus its really healthy for you." Connor said as he set the bowl and tray on a nightstand next to her bed.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia said nothing for a moment, just watched him. She had been tricked, lied to, decieve, almost raped, druged, dragged, and now some man she had never met before was offering to shoot her with some freakin' medicine that would either make her better, return her to her numb state, or fuckin' kill her.

She squinted suspicously at him, shit, she was trained to she could look like an innocent babe from toyland if she wanted to, right now she had to work on gut instinct, and remember being fucked over by Reese and almost fucked by Tom, her gut instinct was doing to well.

The food smelled divine, but that to was probably laced with some poison. Why did people think she was just going to roll over and trust them? Shit, he had come in here armed with two silencers, what the heck for? She sure couldn't attack him, and he only needed them to put a bullet in her head.

Sophia had only her life to lose, and that of her sisters, but she also couldn't wait for this damn drug to wear out on its own. She wiggled her arm free of the blanket, and with only two words answered him, once more taking a chance on a plan that she was quickly forming in her mind. "Do it."

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Drawing out a needle,it was filled with a gooey green liquad in it.He had made it on the way here,made out of all natural herbs.The poison they used was elemental school crap and would be cured easly.It would take her a couple of seconds to feel her limbs but after that,she would be able to move and with Korean Jinseng in it,it would give her amazing stength for a second.Connor was ready for her to attack him.He unstrapped his silcenced pistols and set them on the nightstand next to her food.

"If you want to shoot me,then go right ahead.Since your trusting me,I am going to trust that you will not shoot me."He said in his flawless irish accent.Being raised with his sister in an one hundred percent irish rowhouse,it was to get the accent down and even Gaelic down as well.Taking her arm in his hand gently,he traced the major vein in it and stuck her with the shot as softly as he could.

He pushed the end of the needle in and shot the liqaud into her body.All of the muscles in her body tensed at once and he guessed that it hurt.After that they all loosened up and worked their way out of entropy.It probably felt weird,all of her muscles loosening and squirming in her body yet they were working their way out of stiffness.Nodding to her without a word,he left his guns and the bowl of warm food sitting out for her.Pulling the needle out,he exited the room and went through the door into the main room.

Lighting some wood in the fire place,it became a roaring fire and not time.Bringing a large reclining chair up for himself,he let the other bowl of hot food just sit there.He couldn't tell what was going on with the other sister but Sohpia would be able to tell him whether he would need to bring the other bowl of food in.He planned on her being able to come speak to him soon,though he knew she would want to eat first...so he waited by the warm fire.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia watched him leave, and she laid back allowing the medication to work through her. It began as a warm wave of heat, then a burning sensation, then each muscle began to twitch and convulse on its own. She took her first real deep breath, the earlier ones had been nothing compared to this one, it was powerful, and fueled her body.

She soon was feeling the needles in her body, as her skin felt it was crawling all over with them. Pin pricks of sensations rocked through her, and she hissed back the pain that she was feeling. "Fuck," she muttered over and over, until she finally felt only the tension of what resembled the feeling of a good workout at the gym.

Her eyes fell on the guns, and the food. "Shit," she sputtered and rolled her eyes. She pulled the blankets from her body, and slipped her feet to the floor. She watched her toes flex, and her legs slowly stepped down, and she steadied herself, as she absorbed the weight of her body once more.

Stretching her muscles, she walked around the room, and looked at the raging storm outside. Her fingers ran across the window seals, and along the seams of the wooden frame. She walked the perimeter of the room, looking for loose floor boards, or hidden spaces. Her eyes looked carefully at shelves, tables, inside lamps. She didn't find any cameras, bugs or gadgets. Trust was something she was no longer going to just toss to the wind.

She went over to Gabi, and smoothed back her hair. "I don't know why your not awake yet hon, but until I know what is going on this shit wears out all by itself on you." She placed a kiss on her sisters brow, and grabbed the guns, opened the windows, emptied them and tossed the whole lot outside. She brushed off the snow, and then went back to the bowl of food.

Walking to the bathroom, she tossed it in the toilet and flushed the food down the toilet. She pulled her fingers through her hair, and walked toward what she hoped was the kitchen. She stayed close to the wall, using it for support incase her muscles decided to play a trick on her.

Reaching the kitchen, she passed the man in the chair, and opened his refridgerator door. She grabbed a pack of unopened and untapered with hotdogs, the package still tight and air sealed, along with a single serving bottle of orange juice. Ripping the package open, and twisting the lid off the juice, she carried both to the room, where the man was, and sat down on a chair near the window. "Sorry... until I know you... your not cooking my food, or my sisters."

With her head cocked to oneside she stared at him, "Your guns are outside my window, you can fetch them later. Who are you and what the fuck do you want us for?" She ate a second raw hotdog and waited for his answer.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

"Those are only a pair of many guns I have in this place.I will fetch them when I need them,which is not soon I hope.This place is an abandonded russian place.I put up the fencing and all the wiring just incase some people decided to come in and try to get to us.I am hoping the Russian Army doesn't show up and find us here before I can get us a helicopter out of this frozen wasteland" Connor said as he lifted his head to look at the woman sitting by the window.

"Its alright if you do not want to eat my food,I am alright with that.It is not drugged with anything,so you do not need to worry about that,but if you do not want to trust me,than that is fine.My name is Connor as I said before and I am a rogue agent as you have gathered.I work for and head a group known as the wolves.We are a band of rogue agents that has only one goal in life: Save the world,no matter what sacrifice must be made.You are very important to the saving of the world and that is why your friends Resse and Tom are captured and everyone in Russia is looking for you.I saved you from the truck,it was my sniper rifle that stopped the Russians from killing you...so that there plan could be unhindered." Connor said in a professional way,not trying to sound matter of factly or arrogant,he was not the kind of guy who showed off his skills and to be arrogant.

"The storm is bad here but I will make sure we get out of this alive.I have been keeping the fire going and the heat comming on.Were going to be here at least a week,so you might as well get comfortable.I don't have to be your friend if you don't want me to and I will not try to force anything on you.I want you to know that if by my life or death can protect you,I will." Connor said with utmost seriousness,looking into her eyes with a fierce look in them,showing her that he ment what he said.

"I sleep in that room,your room is that one and the other is the bathroom.We have enough food to last two weeks just incase and when I can we will be going back to Switzerland,where my headquarters is." Connor said as he leaned back in the chair,putting a hand out towards the fire and felt the warmth on his figners.He put on a handsome smile for half a second and then his face went cold once more,he couldn't make a slip and look like he was lying or had some alternate agenda.

"Any questions?"

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia listened to everything he said, and she wondered if he was legit. According to him, and by the looks outside they weren't going anywhere, for at least a week, and if it turned into two she'd be back to top form, and better able to deal with him.

She would go along for the ride, until it no longer was worth riding, and then she'd either find a way to leave with her sister or handle the man, the best she could. She finished her juice, and placed the remaining package of hot dogs on the table beside her.

Sighing, she studied him. He was a good looking man, and he had the looks of a ruthless killer and was obvious good at what he did. She wondered who had hired him to protect her, and if Gabi's suspisions concerning their blood was really worth the two cents she had on it. Everything was either crumbling around her, or it was being pulled from her, and she really only seemed to be a puppet in a play. Someone was always pulling the strings.

"Look Connor, you have to come at this from my angle. Put yourself where I am and tell me you'd just lie down and let me run your life, without question." She raised a brow, and stood up. She walked to the window and looked at the snow building and blowing.

"Think about it.. your on a plane, someone comes up shoots you full of drugs, freezes your body. Tosses you right and left, throws you in a van. Someone else comes along, kills the bad guys, drags you through the woods. Gets you all nice and comfy. You don't know them, your in the "business" and it is obvious they are too.... Your fed some medicine that suddenly appears, and then handed weapons to get you out... not to mention food that was prepared while you conviently slept... and your telling me... that if I did all this for you... You'd just come over curl up to me and say... Oh baby, be my friend?"

She turned back at him, her look asking him to doubt that he wouldn't be suspicious of her actions if he were in her shoes. "Tell me Connor, are you going to trust me, and not have doubts?"

 

[TheScarletBlade]

"If your wondering who sent me and why I am here,I can explain that" Connor said softly "I am the head of my rogue agency.He work for no one but a higher cause:Justice.I chose to came out here save you and your sister because you are the only key to saving the world before it gets over run with a virus that can kill human's within a day.I have no other information on it but I know you and your sister are the key to it." Connor said as he pulled his chair closer to the fire,he was sort of chilly.

"Listen,if I hadn't saved you the Russians would have cut you open,sponged out all of your vital blood and then picked and harvested each and every organ in your beautiful body.If you prefer that fate,I can escort you to the Russian's medical facility.I know you don't trust me,so I can start cooking your meals infront of you if you want.I have a friend that is an army cook and he taught me a bunch of things,so I brought a lot of cooking supplies.Also,the way this storm is looking,we won't be able to get out of here for at least two weeks.If we run out of food,I can get some food off of the Russians." Connor said assuredly as he sat with his back against the comfortable chair.

"I don't want you to think of yourself a prisioner here,so I want you to know I am not holding you here.If you want to kill me,I will give you the gun and even hold it to my head,if it saves the world...I will make any sacrifice.If you wanna leave us after we get to Switzerland then that is fine with me,we are here to make sure you get whatever you need because you are the key." Connor said without flinching as he rose slowly to not freak her out.He moved to the kitchen and took her sisters bowl of pasta and chicken and began to eat away as he went back to his chair.

"If you even care,my full name is Connor Smith and I am from South Boston.I am half Irish and Half Scots Irish.Ever since I was born,it was just me and my sister.My mom died giving birth to me and my dad left me and my sister to die in some slum in South Boston.Later we found out he died a day later in a mob shoot out.We lived in legal loft housing and I was raised by the people around me.When my sister was raped and murdered infront of my eyes and I was powerless to stop her,I swore to get stronger.You could say I put the world onto my shoulders.I entered the military as soon as a could and have been in every outfit and the top army schools in the world,where I have been a soldier ever since.I was recruited into an agency and after I saw the corruption in the Bureaucracy,ever since I went rogue.I got a bunch of rogues that felt the same way and now we do what we can to save the world." Connor said as he continued to eat.

"Excuse me,I am afriad I have said to much.You probably don't care at all.Also in this black bag of guns under my chair is books and some clothes.The books are mostly history books because I love history but also some fantasy books like Chronicles of Narnia,Lord of the Rings and the Wheel of Time,all good fantasy books,help yourself." Standing up,he set the empty bowl on the kitchen counter and moved towards his room.

"I am going to leave you alone because I doubt you wanna listen to me continue on about things.I am going to go into my room and read,so if you need anything...anything at all,just come and get me and I will do it" Connor said as he moved towards his room door.Stopping,he looked back at her "Also,if that red light goes off at anytime,get me immediatly because it means we have company and I will have to chase it away"

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia watched him and listened to him. She heard it all, she accepted some, questioned other things, but even she wouldn't have confessed everything, it just isn't done in this business. She moved to stand in front of him, "I'll find you if the light goes red."

"I haven't had it hard. I'm the first to admit that. I've been rather lucky up until I was recruited, then it kinda went to shit. Gabi, she lived it hard. I had the silver spoon, and she had the rusty knife. She can relate to you, I can't. I can only be who I am, and my trust doesn't come easily. I question everyone and everything. Its my job to do that. It is my job to take in everything, to not leave nothing unchecked. I've done that in the past, and almost gotten raped and killed, I'd like to avoid that."

She sighed and leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest, and her foot probbed up against the wall behind her. Sophia raked her fingers through her head, and shrugged her shoulders. "If your eating it, I'll eat it. Gabi isn't awake yet, at least she wasn't when I came in here to talk with you, and well... that worries me some. If you have all the information about us then you know her ordeal. The tumor was removed, we went through some mumbo jumbo, voodoo, hocus pocus kinda crap, and now she is cured, and back to 110%, yet she isn't awake. I don't know what is going on and I'm not sure who's who in this game anymore."

Placing her hand on his shoulder, she looked at Conner. "I'll accept what you say at face value until you do something for me to not believe you, then you'll be my enemy. I seem to be getting a long list of them." She moved her hand back to her side, no longer touching him. "I'll clean up, its the least I can do, after being such a witch," Sophia said.

She turned to head back to the other rooms, when she stopped and looked back at him. "Conner Smith, I thank you for saving Gabi's life, she's all I have now, and I would hate to lose her. Thank you for that."

 

[TheScarletBlade]

"If your going to do the dishes,I might as well join you because I did make the mess.You have nothing to be sorry about because I can relate to that.If I was in the position you were in I guess I would feel the same but I cannot be in the same postion.I never lived rich and I am not a beautiful woman either" Connor said as he moved back across the room,into the kitchen where the pots and pans lay just everywhere.Cooking was a messy buisness.

He walked into the kitchen he plugged up the sink.It was an old sink and there was no dishwasher so he had to wash everything by hand.Placing a even amount of soap into the rushing water,he pulled out a scrubber from under the sink and a couple of towels.They were soft and fluffy yet kind of old.He tossed one to Sophia as she came into the kitchen behind him.

"If you dry them off and put them in the cabnit overhead,I will scrub them and rinse them out.You didn't have to tell me about your past,I already know about it but I guess its nice to hear it from your mouth." Connor said as he began turned off the rushing water because the sink was about full and ready to be washed.The pans consisted of the two pasta can and a cassorole style pan that had the chicken cooking in it.Also there was the two bowls and a couple of plates from the day before when he stayed here before he recued the girls.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia worked side by side, doing her fair share of the work, and not complaining either way. She knew she had been lucky, her life had been generally easy, until she was recuited. Quietly she dried the dishes, and wondered why he thought her beautiful, she was just another woman, another face. He had called her that twice, the first time she allowed it to roll off her, and ignored it, this time she wondered why he'd say something like that.

She knew the agency was able to doll her up for assignments, and she knew her past lovers had said she was beautiful, but they were looking for the evenings activities to begin. Conner seemed to really believe it, she tried to see herself the way he was seeing her.

"Thanks for the dinner," she winked. "I bet it was better then raw hotdogs." She smiled at him, trying to erase tension and doubt, that she knew she had placed there." She grinned and put dishes into the cabinets, and then looked back to him, "I'll tell you something no one knows..." she leaned in and whispered. "My cooking sucks, and if you let me near that stove, you'll probably wish you had poisoned me."

 

[TheScarletBlade]

"Poison you? never! To be honest,I am sure that your cooking would be heavenly compared to some of the crap I ate while I was out on a mission for the Marines or for the Navy Seals.When your on a really big iron boat,you tend to get the worst of everything.I wouldn't mind eating your food,I mean it guess it wouldn't be so bad.My kitchen is at your disposal when ever you wish." Connor said with a slight,reassuring smile.

To be honest,Connor believed she was heavenly.He didn't want to say that because it would sound sort of weird and she would think he was a stalker or something but true beauty wasn't just on the outside.Sure she was really attractive phyiscally yet Connor was able to see passed that into the true depth of her character and it was that which he had admired the most.He noticed the slight expression on her face yet he said nothing at all.

"Well all you did eat is raw hot dogs,would you like me to cook something for you? It wouldn't be a bother at all.Also,if you would like to take a hot shower,there is really warm water and I won't peak or anything on you if your worried about it,not that I wouldn't be tempted to" Connor said with a fox like grin as he moved about the kitchen,checking all the cabnits and everything to make sure things were in place and most food stuffs were upstairs and readily accessed for any of the members of this cabin as he awaited her answer.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia chuckled, "Raw hotdogs are on that list of once you've eaten them, your not sure your stomach will tolerate adding anything else to it. I'm fine, but I'm sure what you had would have been much better. I tend to be a bit stubborn, I'm working on that." She folded her towel and laid it down on the counter.

"You have a great place here, and it looks pretty secure from the inside, perhaps once the blizzard calms down, then I'll take a gander around outside."

Brushing her hair from her eyes, "A shower would be great. You mentioned spare clothes also? Where were they again, and is this one of those conserve the hot water showers, or do I get to just stay in there for as long as I wish." Sophia flashed a smile at him once more, "I think we should hold off the peeking in the shower, until I know you better," adding a wink to her statement.

Conner was a nice looking man, and had done his best to set her mind at ease. It hadn't been since her relationship with Reese in Panama that she had felt so at ease with someone. What she had with Reese now, or had, was now something she was hurt and confused about. Had she been to quick to trust him? Probably, she thought to herself. Shd didn't want to fall into that trap again, but she also didn't want to feel like she couldn't trust some people.

Shaking herself from her musings, she brought herself back to the present and looked up to Conner again, "Yep... afraid we'll have to know each other better before I let you in my shower, Mr. Smith."

 

[TheScarletBlade]

"We have got enough water for you to take as long a shower as you want.He hot water has yet to be used today and the boiler is full of warm water from this morning.Go right ahead,I will leave the house if you don't trust that I won't peek or anything." Connor said as he drained the sink of the dirty water from their dishes and moved into the main room and pulled his long black bag out from under the chair and set it in the main room.

"Its full of heavy snow clothes.I am sorry but being a man,I don't carry bras or anything like that so I hope you dont mind wearing a man's shirt or something" Connor said as he pulled a spair set of clothes out.It was a dark gray shirt like his and some red snow pants,neatly folded and well organized:Years of militart service did that to a man.

Stepping across the room casually,he extended the folded clothes her way "The bathroom is that way if you forgot and I am glad you think this place has a nice set up,I had secured everything so I don't think anything is going to get in that we don't want it,you completely safe her,you could say" Connor said assuredly as he waited for reply.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

"Oh, Conner, I didn't say I didn't trust you not to peek. I said we'd have to get to know each other more before I let you peek," she grinnned wide, and walked over to the clothes. "Bras are confining and shit, they suck too." She grabbed the T-shirt and pants.

"I'm sure it is very secure, but just like I'm sure you would if you were someplace unfamiliar, you'd feel more sure once you took a look yourself. I'm that way also. I trust you did an excellent job, and I don't doubt the safety of the place." Sophia walked up to him, and placed her hand on his arm.

"Conner, it isn't me I'm worried about, I could care less about myself right now, I just want to reassure myself that Gabi is safe here. Until her body is recovered from that damn drug, she's my responsibility as well as yours. I just have to set my own mind at ease, I'm not in anyway thinking your place isn't secure. My protectiveness over her, is growing. She just really is all I have left."

Her hand rest a moment on his arm, before she pulled it away, and waited for him to understand that she wasn't knocking him, just being safe for Gabi's life. She take her shower after he assured her that all was well, she didn't want to get off on the wrong foot again, he seemed like a decent man.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Connor only nodded as she explained that she wasn't insulting him or saying he did a bad job,she was just paranoid about the security of the place.She cared a lot about her sister and that was admirable.People were supposed to love their siblings,yet he could never know how that felt because his sister was abusive to him and used him a punching bag because he had screwed up her entire life,she was going to be a famous actress or wanted to be and she had to throw away her dreams to take care of him.

Turning away from Sophia,since she was going to be taking a shower and he was a man of his word,he picked up his heavy white snow coat and slipped his strong arms inside of the warm sleeves.He pulled the white zipper up and pulled his hood over his head.He grabbed the old door handle in his strong hand and turned it and pushed the door open as he exited into the intense blizzard that was raging fericiously about their living area.

He pushed through the snow,it was now waist deep and it was blinding.The cold wind whipping snow into your eyes as you fight to move even an inch in this terrible snow.Connor pushed through,bringing one arm over his face and using the other to push snow out of the way as he made his way towards the fence.He started at the gate and began to break his way through a perimeter of the fencing.She had began to make him doubt if he had done a good job and he was not a liar,so when he said it was secure,he ment it.

It was cold yet the snow could not make it past his warm coat.The only exposed skin he had was his face,so by now it was beat red and stung viciously yet Connor continued on,trudging this way through the snow around the fencing,making sure everything in it was perfect and he had not been a lair to Sophia when he assured her that everything was safe.He didn't know what kind of men she had met before in her life and what those assholes had done to her but he was determined to never prove to be like that to her,he needed her trust or everything he would do would be worthless.

He continued on for at least half an hour and he had at least 3/4th of the perimeter checked and it had been flawless is securing the place.He suddenly stopped as his legs begain to falter under him.His body was shaking from the cold and his face was numb.Closing his eyes,he fell face foreward into the snow infront of him.It was cold yet it was soft like your grandma's old feather bed.He sunk into the powdery snow and blanked out for a second.

"Connor!!" his sister screamed as she ran up the stairs to their shitty housing and she burst through the door,slamming it open in a hurry to find her little brother.Connor was about 5 and was sitting in the corner of the room with his toy gun.He pulled back the trigger once and a cap fired off.His sister stopped and looked like she was about to have a heart attack.

"Gotcha sister" Connor said laughing as he pretended he was a cowboy and spun the plastic gun on his finger and stuck it in his toy holster.Smiling for only a brief second,his sister rushed across the room to pick him up.Suddenly there was a slamming at the door as three men in trench coats,two with knives and one of the men with a silver .44 revolver.

"Why you little bitch,You think you clan blue ball me,still my money and get away without paying back? Get her boys" The man with the gun said as he leveled it towards Connor "If you attempt to resist,the boy will die" the man said.For the next couple of minitues,Connor watched as the two men with knives began to rape his sister.Finnally,when it was all done,the man with the gun came over and finished it executioner style(shooting her in the chest though),blood flying from the wound and landing on Connor's face.

"Connor,live on.No matter what you do,you have got to live on and try to make the world a better place so men like these do not commit over crimes like these...I love you brother." His sister said as she died.Connor pushed and prodded his sister,trying to wake her because he had no conception of death but she would not wake...

His cell phone rang yet he was freezing and it felt like his body was an ice cube,he could barely reach into his pocket and pull it out,on it it said there was one text message waiting for him to read...

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia watched him leave, then she turned toward the bedroom with Gabi, and walked in. She touched her forhead, and so no difference in the state of slumber. No fever, no hard breathing, it was like a comma. "I know you can hear me. I was in that state to. I'm going to shower then be back later to rub down your muscles. I won't tell you how many knots are in the wood beams above your head, why ruin the excitement." She tucked the blanket around her sister then went to the bathroom for her shower.

The water was soon shooting out of the shower head, and Sophia was underneath it. Steam filled the room, and soon she was allowing the stinging water to hit her muscles and cover her hair. Sophia stood under the steady spray for a long time before finally washing herself. She gathered soap bubbles and cleaned off the dirt, and sweat from the long ordeal of the past several days. She hadn't enjoyed a shower since the hotel room with Reese, where he had shot that guy that had been hiding.

Her body tensed at the memory, and she peeked out from behind the shower curtain. The room was small, and this time there wasn't a place for someone to hide. "Paranoid freak," she muttered to herself. She squeezed the shampoo into her palm and washed her long hair, enjoying the feel of her fingers working her scalp. She sighed as she felt her whole body relax, and finally feel human again.

Rinsing the shampoo from her hair, she then worked in the conditioner. While it was soaking into her wet locks, she climbed from the shower, and looked around the bathroom. "Gottcha," she smiled, as she picked up the razor and shaving cream. She climbed back in and rested one leg along the edge of the shower tub and lathered up her leg, then shaved it smooth. Sophia repeated the actions with her other leg as well as under her arms. Once she was finished, she rinsed all the conditioner off, and the soap and the specks of shaving cream. "Wonderful," she said as she turned the water off, and rinsed Conner's razor under the sinks facuet.

She shook it dry, and then placed it and the cream back where she found it. She dried off her body and squeezed the water from her hair, until it was just damp. Opening the bathroom door, she let the steam escape, then closed it again to get dressed. She slipped on the T-shirt, and then the pants. Her body felt clean and ready for anything. Sophia brushed out her hair, and then braided the wet mass. She held the end of the braid as she left the bathroom.

Sophia looked for something to keep the braid tied, and finally settled on the twist-tie from a sack of bread. She twisted it tight and patted the sides of her hair down. She noticed that Conner wasn't around so she headed down to the basement. She added some more wood to the boiler, stirred the embers, and headed back up the steps. "He's probably checking everything outside."

Walking to the window of the kitchen, her eyes gazed out over the landscape. She found herself staring out the window of the cabin in the Alps where her nightmares were just starting. A mass on the ground moved, and caught her attention from the corner of her eye. "Shit," she cursed, and hurried toward the room she believed was Conner's she pulled out a spare coat that was nestled deep in the closet and a pair of boots, that were way to big for her.

Pulling these items on she rushed outside. The snow hit her skin, and the wind bit into her. "Damn," she muttered as she tredge slowly toward the body that wasn't moving. The trek was tedeous, and she wondered how long he'd been out here and what the hell had happened to him.

Finally reaching his side, she bent down in the snow, and ran her fingers over his neck looking for a pulse. Sophia sighed in relief, and then ran her hands over his body searching for any open wounds. "Conner, wake up! I didn't cook for you so your not dead!" She hissed at him, as the snow whirled around them.

Rolling him onto his back, she looked over his body once more. Again she saw no wounds, but his exposed skin was bright read and felt frozen solid. She smacked at his face, and rubbed her hands together quickly until the were burning her own skin. Sophia placed them over his cheeks and leaned closer to him, "Conner!" she yelled at him, and tried to block out the wind and snow. She looked up and around the area. "Your to big for me to drag through this mess," she glared back at him, "Wake up!" she smacked at him gently trying to get him to respond to her.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Suddenly,from the darkness that he saw all around him,he heard a voice yet his skin was so cold and frozen,he could not even feel her slapping him.His coat was wet and it stuck to his body and he shivered only slightly as he turned onto his back,he wasn't dead yet he could barely move at all.He opened his eyes to find Sophia standing over him,trying to awake him.She was wearing his clothes,so she kind of looked like a man,but no amount of heavy snow clothes could really make her look any less beautiful than she was.

Smiling slightly,he forced his hand to extend the cellphone towards her.He fought with his frozen muscles in his face to smile ironically.He had looked at the text message and it was not anything good for them.It had taken the text message three hours to penetrate through the snow and get all the way from Swiss.

She took it from him and held it in her now red,cold hands and used her slender fingers to cycle through the message.It was sent to Connor from someone labeled as "Informant 1" and it read:

Dear Commander Connor,
I pray that this gets to you,though we all know you are stuck in that massive storm over in Russia and that is why we cannot get a hold of you in anyway.If this text message even gets to you,you will get it at least three hours after I send it because the radiowaves have to travel through that blizzard.Anyways,your screwed man,I hope you have enough guns to fight on the Russian Red army.It turns out some of the people trying to get your babe and her sister are part of a group of former Communist generals who don't like the current leaders in the world and plan to use that virus to kill everyone and the girls are the key as you know.Well one of those conspiritors is a five star general in the red army and has almost every gun in Russia,whether soldier or merc looking for your ass Connor.Your going to be stuck at least for two weeks up there,so I hope you have brought a bunch of ammo.They cant move anything bit out but infantry,so don't worry about jets or tanks but I mean there is going to be an entire army looking for you.Keep yourself safe Connor

Love ya,
Bro

He remembered it said babe on the text message and he couldn't erase it before she looked at it.Sighing,he would probably have to explain what it ment by that but Connor had liked Sophia for a while.They met for only a second at her campus because Colleges always have gadgets and information,so Connor always visited college campus' and he met Sophia only for a second there but he had always liked her after that,that was why he personally came to rescue the girls.He wondered how he was going to tell her that without seeming like a stalker.

"Well I might as well freeze because I don't know how were going to last against an entire army of people." Connor said as he worked on getting up,his body was shivering a little bit more now and his muscles were frozen yet he got himself to his feet.The snow was sort of piling up around them as the blizzard wore on.

"Lets get inside,quickly." Connor said

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Sophia raised a brow at the text message and the "your babe and sister" comment on it. Did he all ready know Gabi, and if so, why keep it a secret. Again that feeling of doubt and trust played with her mind.

Gritting her teeth she decided she'd not bring it up unless he seemed to be a threat. Maybe Gabi and him were lovers on a mission once, and it really wasn't her business. Perhaps that was why he seemed so responsible for them. Sophia had thought he was flirting with her, but maybe he was just being kind to a former lovers sister.

She walked with him toward the cabin, "We'll have to figure out what to do after your all warmed up. Your friend there," she nodded to the phone, "obviously has people placed in high levels of secruity so I'll take it he's legit and trusted."

The snow was still thick and hard to travel, but eventually she was there grasping the railing of the porch steps and pulling her cold body back up to the door of the cabin. "I added more wood, so we should be okay while you warm up. You need to get out of those wet clothes and you should shower the cold out of your bones, I'll start some coffee, and some soup. I'm that talented. Your probably not hungry, but the warmth will help, and the soup will be better then hotdogs."
