“Fuck off spook boy, we leaving or not?” No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lo’s phone went off again. He walked away to answer and came back after a few minutes.
“That was our guy on the inside, something’s going down. Quinn what the fuck?” He was sniffing the air and swear to fuck he went into battle mode. A quick look around didn’t reveal any immediate danger, but the six of us knew that something was up. It had been a while since he’d had an episode, but we knew enough not to ignore that shit.
“We have to go NOW.”
“Hold up brother, we have to secure the women before we head out.” I wasn’t about to leave Susie without making sure that the place was safe. If something was going on at the base chances are we were in the middle of it, and since she was the last one they’d gone after I wasn’t taking any chances.
I headed for Zak’s while the rest of them followed and Quinn and Dev went to put the place on lockdown. I didn’t like that Quinn’s little anomaly chose now to rear it’s head, and with that last phone call I was even more on edge. If I’d had any doubts about leaving before, this shit sealed it for me.
“Susana.” She was in the midst of the women getting reacquainted when I walked in. At my use of her name her face lost some of its joviality as she stood to come to me. Lo and Con weren’t too far behind and their women were soon being cornered along with Nessa and Vicki.
“Cord what is it, what’s wrong?” Stark fear was in her eyes. “Is it mom?”
“No-no, shh, listen to me, I don’t want you to worry. I have to go take care of something, stay here, do not leave the others no matter what do you understand me?” She nodded her head as I pulled her into my chest.
“Where are you going?” She held on when I tried to leave.
“I won’t be far and I won’t be long. Now go be my brave girl and look after your sisters.” I dried the tears that escaped from her eyes. “I love you more than anything, nothing is going to keep me from coming back to you, not ever.”
“I’m holding you to that.” I wish there was more time but the others were already heading back out so I kissed her forehead and left her to go out into the night once more.
