Chapter Seventeen

Adam

I wake up and try to take a swing at the person stabbing me in the side. Strong hands push my shoulders down, and I realize it’s Ian. There isn’t anyone sticking me. Becks is cleaning the gunshot wound to my torso.

“It’s a flesh would ya big baby.” She says and takes a big gauze bandage out of a black plastic case.

“Rebecca wouldn’t let me call an ambulance. She told me she could handle it, and that we’d lose Vladimir and the girls if you went to the hospital.” Ian says through gritted teeth. He strikes me just now as the type of man that isn’t used to being ordered around by a woman. The really strange thing is that there seems to be some sort of spark between them, but Becks told me she was gay.

The sharp pain in my side from her taping the gauze down lets me know that I’ll have to continue those thoughts later. Becks hands me a sports drink and two Tylenol.

“You really love this stuff, don’t you,” I say, but I’m grateful for whatever pain relief I can get.

“I do, and drink all that Gatorade. You’ve lost some blood, and I don’t want you getting dehydrated.” She says and watches me swallow the pills.

“Yes, Mom. But, I’m not entirely sure that’s how it works.” I say and take another swig of the sweet, blue liquid.

“Shut up and drink it. We have to figure out how we’re going to get Sophie and Lilith back.” She says and stands up.

“I really need to call it in, guys. This whole thing has gone off the rails big time.” Ian says and runs his hands through his short hair.

“Vladimir will be calling me soon,” I say and chug what’s left of the drink.

“Yeah, Adam and I had a backup plan for this,” Becks says and puts her hand on Ian’s shoulder. The gesture is more affectionate than purely consoling.

Gay huh?

“What do you mean?” Ian asks.

“I had a dummy drive on me too. This is the real one.” I say and pull out the hard drive. “I thought he might pull something, so I took one of Beck’s patented destroys your shit forever drives. It’s got a virus on it that will spread like wildfire once he attaches it to his computer. It will destroy his files, his computer, and then jump to any equipment and servers connected to his network. That includes his phone. It even worms it’s way into already sent emails. Becks is the only person who can shut it down, and she’s not going to do that until we have Lilith and Sophie back.”

“Wow,” Ian says looks at Becks with total admiration.

“Yep. Russian Mob boss brought down by a computer geek.” She says and high-fives me.

Ouch.
