Chapter 10
“Mom, I saw what I was doing and I couldn’t stop. I saw myself kill him.” Kat sobbed.
“I know baby, I know, sh-sh it will be alright.” Irina said rubbing circles on Kat’s back.
“No, it won’t because.....” Kat’s watched beeped. It started to count
backwards. “Sh*t” she said. She dried her eyes on her sari and looked up at her
mom “Look we don’t have much time, we need to get Dad and Syd out of the
cells. The ‘copter will be here soon, Annika come here.”
Kat pressed a button on her watched and a laser came out. She aimed it at the
lock on Annika’s hand cuffs and they popped open. “Wow” said Syd “cool watch,
could I get one?”
“MI-6 standard issue. It contains a laser, heartbeat monitor, tracker, time, date,
and <A TITLE="Click for more information about mp3" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="

to give you one.” Kat headed over to Sydney’s cell, while Annika took Jack’s cell.
It took less than five seconds for both girls to pop the locks. “Dad you look
horrible.” Kat said looking at a huge bruise and a cut lip on Jack. She turned to
look at Irina and asked “How do we get outside”
Irina quietly led the group passed the guards. They had emerged outside just in
time to see a helicopter land in the clearing. Gun fire erupted after them as the
group made its way to the helicopter. Kat motioned for the pilot to move over a
seat so she could fly the aircraft. She took the helmet he gave her and said “This
is tiny dancer, I have the package” Kat brought the aircraft up “switching to jet
mode” Kat started hitting buttons on the panel, two engines popped out of the
sides and started to turn. She brought the helicopter up and up. After a few
seconds she stopped and pulled a lever down. The plane sped off. “Where are we
headed?” Kat asked the co-pilot beside her. “To the H.M.S. Victory” Kat nodded.
She gained altitude and headed southeast
towards the Indian Ocean.
Great- she thought to herself- I have to land on an aircraft carrier. A beeping
sound started going and a red dot showed up on the radar panel. “Tiny dancer”
her com inside her helmet said “an unidentified plane is coming up on your
starboard side, look out” Kat took and dive and replied “I guess then its time for
some fun”
The plane followed Kat downward. She pulled up and so did it. Kat flipped a cap of
the panel in front of her as she headed down again. Kat rolled the plane over and
brought the plane up around the other plane. She fired three shots from the
button under the cap and the plane slowly dropped out of sight.
**********************************************
Kat landed the plane slowly and jumped out. “Wow, I haven’t done that in years”
said Kat excitedly. The rest of them got out and headed toward the ship’s interior.
Jack raced ahead and grabbed Kat’s arm. “We need to talk, now.” Kat turned to
look at Jack. “Why are you KGB?”
Kat shook her head “I don’t know but can’t this wait until we are inside” she
motioned to a door. They headed inside to the captain’s quarters. “Princess
Sydney Cavanaugh, the pride and joy of her majesty, what exactly brings your
grace to my presence?”
Kat looked at a man sitting behind a desk typing on a laptop. He had graying hair
and was highly decorated by looking at his suit. Kat started to laugh, “Captain
Walters, always the joker, I came to visit the most funniest man I have ever
known, oh and head to shore so I can grab a plane home.”
“Your grandmother has already sent the Cadbury over when she heard you were
MIA. You may sit in the captain’s dining room until we dock. My men will come by
every once and a while to see if you are comfy.”
Kat nodded “Thank you” She took her family and Annika down the hall to a
mahogany wood decorated room. She took a seat at the head of the table,
followed by her parents at her left, and Annika and Sydney to her right.
“May I ask, do you know everyone in the world?” Syd questioned Kat.
“No, I was there with grandma when the christened this ship, so I know my way
around”. Sydney had a thoughtful look on her face for a moment but then it faded
away. Irina, Jack, and Sydney had many questions for Kat, while Kat had many
questions for Annika and herself.
“Ok, so lets do this orderly, you guys can ask me one question, but in return I get
to ask one question from you guys, ok?” Everyone nodded.
Sydney said, “I think I should start, what is the Cadbury?”
Kat smiled “It is one of my planes, but I use it more often because it is a jet, and
a fast one at that. My grandmother is notified every time it goes airborne but I
don’t give a d*mn whether or not I’m wasting fuel to fly myself out of a country
with no airports, I don’t like to drive long hours.” Sydney smiled, “Now I believe
it’s my turn, How well do you like Lauren, no hold backs or kind lies.........I want
the straight truth”
Sydney’s smile faded “Truthfully, I hate her. She is nosey and when ever I go on
a mission with Vaughn she gets pissed off. I wish she would grow up, I mean I’m
trying to make things work, but it......gets complicated. Why did you ask?”
“I understand you situation. I just wanted to know how you felt of her before I
start blackmailing her, she will be leaving soon.”
“What!?! You are going to black mail senator Reed’s daughter, Kat are you nuts,
why would you do that.............so help me if you try to play matchmaker..........”
Kat started to laugh “Sydney, Lauren Reed is a conniving witch who will do
anything to get her way. I believe you heard she grew up in England?” Sydney
nodded “She went to Cambridge when I went, and lets just say it is not a good
thing for her to be working for the NSA. I don’t need her trying to play in a big
girl’s world, when she clearly is not fit for it. Lauren Reed was failing her classes
until her daddy made a little donation to the school, I even have proof of the
changes in her grades, I hacked into the grade system once or twice to check on
peoples grades for them....it was sort of a black market thing at school. They get
a few points added to their extra credit block and I got a beer.”
“Oh I remember that, wasn’t that when we were going for the English Lit. or was
that your psychology and my pediatrician?” asked Annika.
“I think Lit. But I’m not sure, I actually can’t see why I took it. I don’t really see
myself teaching or anything of that matter.............ugh wasted time in my short
life”
“You took English Literature?” asked Sydney.
“Yeah, grandma said I needed a bigger vocabulary so I took it. I still don’t use big
words or anything but I have a diploma to wave in her face if she ever tells me to
broaden my vocabulary. So who’s next”
“I am” said Annika. “I take it that these people are....”
“Family” Kat said. She then filled in Annika about the CIA and her family. “So
Annika, how are you still alive?” it was Annika’ turn to laugh.
“Moriarty just shot me in the arm, stupid fool. He kept me under close watch for
the past 4 years. But he died about six months ago in a drug raid. I was taken by
Jimmy. He said you would be by soon to pick me up, I never knew I was a
prisoner, so I guess I owe you a thanks for finding me”
“What happened to Nicky?” asked Kat.
“I have no clue......probably put in an orphanage”
“Well when we go back to the states, I’ll see about adopting him. Poor kid.” said
Kat
“I thought you had to be married?” said Annika.
“Well, for the past 3 years, I have no damn clue where I was, but apparently I got
hitched to Julian and I know have a daughter named Emma”
“What!?! You and Julian, ha-ha, I always knew you were destined to marry rich,
but snobby rich? Come on, are you sure the kid is yours?” Annika said
“She has my curls and my blonde hair, heck she even has blue eyes, and......and
she calls me mommy..........you know I can’t refuse a kid that does that.....heck I
couldn’t refuse Nicky”
“Kat you don’t have blonde hair, and its not curly” said Sydney confused by that
last statement.
Annika and Kat looked at each other, Kat looked down, depressed so Annika
answered “She used to be the prettiest girl in school, blonde hair, blue eyes, and I
hate to admit it but she even had fabulous curls. But her grandmother makes her
dye her hair to keep her from looking pretty, but she says it’s to keep the press
from making her look ditsy .”
The captain came in “Excuse me for interrupting but we are docking now” The
group got up and headed to deck.
