Final Rescue Part 1______

Pacific Ocean,

Somewhere off the coast of Follomer

Tessa had no idea where she was, or how long she had heard the thump-thump of the rotor blades, which helped her deduce that she was inside a helicopter. Being no stranger to helicopters, Tessa knew this one wasn't as "friendly" as the others. After a while, she became more lucid, and sensed her wrists were tied behind her back, and ankles bound as well. Not to mention there were three armed men pointing the business end of their rifles at her.

Still trying to recover from the drugs injected into her body, she felt heavy. She didn't want to move, but over time she could move her fingers, then her whole hands.

Male Voice: There's the ship.

Male Voice: Taking us down. The captain would like to talk to the girl himself...don't rough her too badly.

Male Voice: He'll have her soon enough.

Tessa stayed on the floor, but fear took her. She could barely move. What was going to happen? What would they do to her?

The helicopter slowed, lowered and finally landed on an extended pad hanging off the edge of the cargo ship.

She was pulled and dragged out onto the deck by her arms and hauled past the men standing around outside, staring at her. The bright sunlight partially blinded her so she couldnt get perfect views of her surroundings before she was taken inside the ship. She could definitely hear the ocean though.

Once inside, she was taken to a crew quarters and thrown onto the cot inside. She turned and stared down the man who threw her. Her vision returned and she couldn't believe who it was.

Rua: Welcome aboard, Tessa.

Still tied and bound, Tessa stared at him with wide eyes, remembering him from the warehouse , the warning he gave her. Now he was her captor. He then took a few steps into the room as the solid metal door shut behind him.

Meanwhile...

Saint Krist-Uniden International Airport

The Chancellor's helicopter landed near the Airport's supply office with the military already on the ground. He stepped off with Commander Trellian right behind him. To him, a national tragedy is unfolding. Just several hundred feet away at the gates and terminals, normal civillians were boarding and leaving their planes.

Tristan walked up to the man standing before the groups of soldiers, fully clad and waiting. The man saluted and leaned in close.

Likisy: Chancellor, I wish it could be a pleasure.

Chancellor Tristan: Me too.

Likisy: I'd like to say sir, I was your daughter's protection during the New Lynais Op. I made a promise to keep her safe, and you have my word I'll get her back safe and sound.

Tristan nodded and patted his shoulder.

Chancellor Tristan: Thank you. She's all I have left, and you're one of the few left that I trust with her life.

Likisy nodded and pulled out a small map of the general area around the Capital City. He pointed at an area where the Bayfront Hospital is.

Likisy: She was abducted here and taken by chopper. That you already know. And we've plotted the course it took based off commercial shipping reports. However we ran out of leads before we could get a satellite in position.

He then traced the dotted lines to an "X" out in the ocean.

Likisy: Based off the last report and estimated speed of the target, we've placed it in this area. Intelligence is already scanning every square mile of ocean there, however we're not going to wait. Three squads of Marines, as well as myself will head for that area and begin searching for the target. We believe it'll be a ship of some kind.

Chancellor Tristan: Very good. Thank you for this. However that's miles of ocean, I don't want you wasting time returning to the mainland to fuel.

Likisy smiled and put the map away.

Likisy: Have you heard of the new "Ghost", sir?

Tristan raised an eyebrow. Certainly he didn't mean the experimental prototype?

Minutes later, over at the International flights terminal, a child and his mother stood in line to begin boarding for their flight to New Gelderland, when the child pointed something out passing over the ground.

Little boy: Look mommy! Big shadow!
