Chapter 19
Trickle has been tight lipped until now, never revealing any information or details on Rob’s whereabouts.
He gets one meal a day, but is chained by his wrists and ankles, naked and without pain relief which is taking a heavy toll on his mutilated body.
Doc stopped giving him pain relief a few days after my initial interrogation, and the fucker is struggling with the forced detox from all the shit he used to consume and that’s torture all on its own. His body isn’t healing and infection has taken hold, do I care, fuck no, but it is horrid and he smells putrid. I’m hoping a little prodding today may just push whatever he’s been holding back out of him.
“You’ll be getting an upgrade in accommodations soon; I’ve made it really comfortable for you.” I say in an eerie tone.
Trickle starts thrashing coming close to pulling his arms out of their sockets.
“N-No, no, I’ll t-tell you.” He yells.
“What did you just say?” I roar, hitting his right kidney.
“H-He h-hasn’t c-come f-for me, h-he c-can g-go to h-hell, t-they c-can both g-go t-to hell.”
I’ll hand it to him he’s lasted longer than I expected, a month ago we started construction on our land and if I can help it, I really don’t want his filthy fucking soul dirtying our tranquil surrounds. The multiple construction teams I have working round the clock have constructed the main house and Harrington Headquarters and it’s ready for fit out, the first thing to be constructed was the deep into the ground holding cells under Harrington Headquarters. So, I thought I’d inform him of a change in location to see if he’d break, let’s hope this information is good. I want this shit over with.
“Where. The. Fuck. Is. He?” I enunciate leaving no room for argument.
“O-Old tunnels, p-prohibition t-tunnels, u-under m-my g-grandma’s o-old h-home.”
I look to Reid and he’s shaking his head and, in an instant, I see his mood change and he moves fast and steps in front of Trickle grabbing a handful of hair, he yanks his head up hard and speaks real quiet, ‘Where, Trickle, tell me the access point.’
Reid’s not a real heavy hitter, but when push comes to shove, he can rival the best of us, he just prefers to keep his hands able to fly across the keys than someone’s teeth.
‘T-There’s an o-old w-well, e-entry is in t-the g-graveyard. M-Mausoleum h-has b-been b-built around it.’
Reid lets go of his head and steps away to check the Comms for conformation.
Jackson steps in and takes his place, ‘What weapons does he have? And are there any explosives? Because if I find anything more than what you tell me right now, I’m going to come back here with my dog, he really likes fresh slices of meat to chow down on. Although he may reject you, you filthy rotten prick.’
Trickle thrashes and this time he does pull his left arm out of its socket and lets out a long groan. I walk behind Trickle and get into position.
‘S-Shotgun, g-grenades, h-hand guns, a-and k-knives. N-No explosives, n-not t-that I k-know of.’
My next move is going to serve two purposes, Trickle will think he’s in for more torture and likely tell the truth, but really, I need to put his arm back in, the pain from a shoulder dislocation is immense and I will not allow him to die before Rob is found.
Jackson leans into his face and asks, ‘You sure, asshole?’
At the same time as I whack the back of his shoulder blade to put his arm back in, he screams and defecates himself, fuck get me out of here.
‘Y-Yes, h-he c-can r-rot in h-hell, j-just s-stop, p-please, k-kill me-me, j-just k-kill me!’
The art of interrogation is establishing dominance which we did weeks ago and the rest is a series of mind games, they always do the most damage, a captors mind will withhold initially but when they’ve run through escape strategies constantly, or they’re not rescued, reality sets in and they break themselves.
I circle around the front and growl, “You’d better have told us everything or Halsey is going to enjoy his meaty treats!”
Trickle nods slightly before he passes out. The pain from the dislocation and relocation too much for him to handle on top of the serious injuries he’s already got, this latest one may just do him in.
“Doc, give this fucker something to keep him alive, just in case.”
“Yes, Chief, I’ll hook him up to some IV antibiotics and pain relief to take the edge off. Davies will have to check in on him morning and night while we’re spun up.
“Good, let’s head upstairs it fucking reeks down here.” I say, with my stomach recoiling.
“Hooyah.” The boys cheer.
Doc hooks Trickle up and then we make our way up to the war room. Blake is on Comms organizing with The Night Stalkers to have a Hawk dropped on the roof, Cuddy is analyzing maps with Reid and Jackson is making sure our ALICE’s are packed with all we need, we keep them here now for safety, away from Alexa. The only person not here is Tiny.
I call his cell and he answers on the first ring, “Chief, everything good?”
“We’re spinning up within the hour. Trickle spilled a location.”
“Be there in 20 mikes,” he says and disconnects the call.
We have security protecting Janelle and Caroline when we’re not there but still, I know this will be hard for Tiny. He hasn’t admitted it yet but we know Caroline has a hold over him, whether he feels it’s brotherly or more, I don’t know, but I suspect the latter.
My next call is to Davies, “Commander, we’ve been spun up.”
“JSOC?” He enquires, obviously picking up on something in my tone.
“No, I need you leave Central Park and watch my family, also that fucking mongrel in the cell, Doc has an IV hooked up and I need you to make sure that fucker doesn’t die.”
“With pleasure.” The drawn out way he says pleasure makes me smile.
I excuse myself and head up to the apartment and find Lily in the shower washing her swollen belly and my cock stands to attention, fuck she’s beautiful, I don’t really have time but I’ll make it quick, Lily explodes at the slightest touch anyhow so it’ll be good.
I shed my clothes like a freshman at a pep rally and walk in behind her, “Handsome, I thought you were working?” Lily squeaks out.
“I’m working you right now, Shhh, Angel.” I waste no time; I want to spend my last minutes buried deep inside my woman.
I bend my knees and line my cock up underneath Lily’s dripping pussy, I know my woman’s wet, she always is and I fucking love it, her scent drives me crazy and I swear I’m going to keep my woman full of my babies for years to come. In one swift move I drive up and enter her tight wet heat, my knees almost buckle with the pleasure that envelopes my rock hard cock. I wrap my arms around her sexy body to help hold her up and massage her breasts while kissing and nipping my way up the side of her neck.
“Ohhh, fuck, Alexxx, your cock feels so good.” Lily moans out.
“Want it hard and fast or slow and deep, baby?” I growl in her ear then give her earlobe a quick nip.
“Hard, I need it hard,” Lily pants.
Fuck me she’s already close to coming, I drive into her fast only holding back slightly.
“Like this, Angel?”
Lily’s pussy starts squeezing my cock and know she’s about to explode.
“Yes, yes, yes, Alexxx,” she screams.
Hearing my woman’s pleasure makes my balls pulse, I pinch her nipples and roar when my balls tighten and I feel the tingle in the base of my spine just as my angel’s pussy starts convulsing, her sweet little pussy milking my cock for all it’s worth.
“Alexxx.” Lily moans low with her orgasm.
“Angelll.” I explode filling her with my seed and Lily goes limp, I bend my knees once again and hold her to my chest.
“Angel, you with me?” I question.
“No, I’m in the stars.” She breathes out.
I slip out of her groaning as I do at the loss of her wet heat and turn her to face me. I kiss her with such hunger like I’m a starved man, I don’t want to fuck and run but I need to leave, as much as I don’t want to let her go, I have to.
“Angel, I came to tell you I’m spun up.”
Her eyes fly open with her gasp, “No, what if you’re away for weeks?”
Lily is shaking and tears flowing freely, “Angel, it won’t be weeks, I promise.”
I’m not telling her it’s not an official JSOC deployment, all she needs to know, is she’ll be safe and I’ll be home soon.
“I need to go, baby, I love you so much, you keep Alexa and our babies safe and happy. Davies and I’m sure Betty will protect you all at all times, okay.”
Lily laughs through her tears, “Yes, we’ll have double the protection.”
I kiss Lily again with hunger driving my every movement but pull away and give her a lingering kiss to her forehead.
“I love you, Handsome.” She says with such love in her voice.
“And I love you and our family so much, stay in the apartment until Davies is back, he’ll be here before we take off.”
“From where?” Lily asks perplexed.
I waggle my eyebrows cockily, “The roof, baby, you’ll hear the Hawk land any minute, then you’ll hear it take off again, as we spin up.”
I kiss her deeply once more because I’m a greedy man and press my hand over her belly before I exit the bathroom. I rush to get dressed in my fatigues and the last thing I see before I exit our room is Lily standing in the doorway to our bathroom in a white towel, looking like the angel she is. The flush of her cheeks making her freckled heart shine bright, the sight always stabbing me in the heart, she’s never looked more beautiful.
“Come. Home. Safe.” Lily whispers and I nod and leave before I can’t.
My babies kick and I have to laugh, it’s as if they’re saying, Come. Home. Safe. I’ll just think of it as a salute to their Daddy. Alexa and I are going to make a lasagna tonight so I move to the kitchen and gather the ingredients.
Alexa’s little feet can be heard running from the elevator, “Mommy, Mommy, you weady faw the loud noise, Daddy said the Hawk is going to land on the woof.”
I look down and smile wide at her, my little love is hugging my legs looking up at me with a face splitting grin and a twinkle in her eye.
“I am, Lovebug, did you want to help me make lasagna for dinner tonight?”
“I do, I do, I’ll gwab my special stool.”
The windows start to rattle slightly and I can hear the rush of wind and wow is it loud.
“Ah, I miss running and climbing into a bird,” Dad says coming to the island.
“Oh, this is so, so cool, Pa, do you think I’ll get to wide in the Hawk one day?” Alexa say bouncing excitedly inside her toddler stool.
“I’ll even fly it for you sweetheart,” Betty’s voice yells out.
I look to Betty and she just winks at me, I really need to know, I’m going to ask her tonight whether she’s ex-military but I don’t think my suspicions are wrong.
“You? Fly a bird?” Dad guffaws loudly.
“Yeah, ol’ man, and if you’re lucky I’ll let you come along for the ride.”
“I’s coming too, Betty, I wants to go fast,” Alexa’s smile says it all, she’s grinning from ear to ear.
I can feel the rattle and the rotor sound whooping as the Hawk lifts off the building and wonder if Alexander’s flying or if Blake is I really want a ride too and know my man would look sexy as sin flying. Dad is looking up at the ceiling forborne, it must be hard for him to not be with his boys. Alexander said it’s not easy leaving your SEAL life, especially DEVGRU when you retire, but he is still very active helping the team and has gone above and beyond for Alexa and me, and I really hope he and Betty follow us to the new house.
“I think Alexander should buy one,” I blurt out accidentally, meaning to say it in my head.
Dad and Betty swing their gaze from the ceiling to me and I busy myself in chopping the onion.
“What, I like to go fast, I can’t wait till my Beast arrives she’s going to look pretty but have some mean torque and really want to feel her power.
“Thata’ girl, Cupcake, I taught you well. Have the guys let you drive yet?” Betty smirks at me.
“No, and I really want to get on the road and give the Beast a workout.”
Betty should know, she’s the one who showed me the thrill of a good engine because she’s the one who taught me how to drive, and well.
