The Awakening

Preparing for the Rescue Pt.2

Preparing for the Rescue Pt.2

Aug 23, 2024

Director Birmingham woke up, got dressed, and headed over towards the safe house. When he got there Sarah was making breakfast and setting up the table for everyone. "Good Morning Director Birmingham, Sarah said, as she finished up making breakfast. "Good Morning ma'am do you happen to have enough for this old man to eat?" He asked. "Oh yes we have plenty, why don't you go sit down and I'll set a spot for you at the table," Sarah replied. The director went to sit down in the living room next to Jack, as he waited for breakfast to be ready. "Good morning Jack, who is the lady in the kitchen? You don't want to be giving out this location if you don't want to be found," the director said assertively.

"What lady in the kitchen?" Jack asked. "The one making the breakfast," Birmingham said. Jack walked over to the kitchen and laughed deeply, "That's Sarah director Birmingham," Jack said laughing and pointing towards the kitchen. "Sarah!?" Birmingham said shockingly. "Yes, Ashley the facial reconstruction specialist, was able to use some substance to change her face and features," Jack said. "Hmm she did a good job. I didn't even recognize her," Birmingham said while laughing. Both Johnson and Ashley joined them a few seconds later. "Good Morning," both of them shouted. "Who is she?" Director Birmingham asked Jack. "Oh, this is Ashley Evans, she is the facial reconstruction specialist I was telling you about," Jack said, while gesturing for Ashley to come over to him. "And Ashley this Director Birmingham," he added.

"Nice to meet you," Ashley said, as she shook his hand. "Your work is very good, I didn't even recognize Sarah," he laughed. "Thank you sir, I appreciate the compliment and I'm glad to be of assistance," Ashley said with a smile. "Breakfast is ready," Sarah yelled. "Oooooo wonderful I'm starving," Johnson said, as he rubbed is stomach. They all sat down at the table, while Sarah brought a buffet of food, and everyone stared in amazement at the plethora of food she placed down in front of them. "This all looks wonderful," Birmingham stated. "If everything tastes as good as it looks, we are definitely in for a treat," Johnson said, smiling while rubbing his hands together.

"Oh trust me everything is going to taste amazing, just you wait," Jack said with a smile. "Have you tasted Sarah's cooking before?" Ashley asked. "Yes she cooked breakfast for me after she stayed at my house, and it was delicious," Jack said smiling and looking at Sarah. "She's been to your house!!?"Ashley exclaimed. "I've never even been to your house or know where you live," she added. Jack laughed, "Sarah ended up at my house because of this current situation and she asked for my help so I had her come over," Jack said matter of factly. Ashley caught on to Jack gaze and seen him smiling at Sarah and she felt uneasy, as she always wanted Jack for a very long time, but just never got the chance to express her feelings.

"Hmm okay, I see," Ashley said while looking down at her plate. "Okay guys I hope you enjoy everything that I made, you guys can dig in now," Sarah said with a smile before sitting down and making her own plate. Sarah made a huge breakfast spread of eggs, bacon, sausages, biscuits and gravy, hash browns, fruit platter, French toast, waffles, pancakes, toast, coffee, juices, and plenty of other dishes. Everyone started to dig in, "Omg this food is amazing," Ashley said while enjoying her food. "Yea Sarah this taste delicious," Johnson said seconding Ashley statement. "If I would have known you could cook like this Sarah, I would have definitely asked for you to come and cook for me sooner," the director laughed. "You are definitely a jack of all trades, director Birmingham said.

"See I told you it was going to be delicious," Jack added. Sarah started blushing, "come on guys everything isn't all that great," she said trying not to blush harder. "Girl you're crazy this is a 5-star service right here," Ashley said laughing. "Thank you Ashley for that, and thank you for helping me out in this situation as well," Sarah said with a bright smile, trying to not cry. They all had small talk while they enjoyed their food. "So what happened yesterday, Birmingham asked while wiping his mouth with a napkin.

The energy in the room quickly shifted. "Well when I first started following Amanda I believed that it was pointless, as she just seemed like a normal government employee," Jack stated. "However after about 1 to 2 hours she received a phone call and she immediately started speaking Russian," he added. "And that made my senses heighten immediately. As soon as she got that phone call she checked out the store and headed to this abandon warehouse on the outskirts of town. When she got there she just paced back and forth and mumbled words to herself," Jack said, while everyone listen intently to what he was saying. "I thought it was a trap and she had caught onto me, but then she walked out of the building and headed down a weird narrow path that then lead to another abandoned building that has been overgrown by shrubbery," Jack says. "She went inside and I heard a few words like Mike, oil, and home but I didn't hear anything and else," he added.

Luckily I found a back door to get inside and there were no cameras or guards in the area. When I walked deeper inside, two Russian spies came out of no where, so I had to hide behind some boxes. When they passed, I was able to find Amanda and a Russian guy talking. After that I proceeded to explore the abandon building some more to see if I could find Mike," he said, his voice sounding low. When I found him the door was locked and I could only see what was on the inside through a small window," he said, as his head hung low. "It's okay Jack you did amazing and because of your hard work we were able to locate Mike and now get the chance to save him," Sarah said with a smile. "I know you are right I just wish that I could have brung him back with me," Jack said sadly.

"You were outnumbered, with no weapons there was nothing you could have done," Ashley said placing her hand on his shoulder. Jack said thank you while gently removing her hand from his shoulder. "Okay since there are more Russian spies than we anticipated we are going to need to create a tactical team to execute this operation," Birmingham said. "You are correct sir," Johnson added. "Johnson you can recruit a few man from your team, but make sure to keep the reason top secret," Birmingham added. "Yes sir will do," Johnson replied. "Jack and Sarah since Sarah haven't been...," before the director could finish his thought his phone began to ring. "Excuse me for a second," he said as he got up from the table.

"I wonder what's that about," Ashley said. "Probably something to do with this mission," Jack replied. "Ok since we are going to have a few extra men from your team Johnson, we can enter from the back door and your guys can handle the other spies, while I'll handle the man that Amanda was talking to and Sarah you can go rescue Mike," Jack said. "Oh I almost forgot," Jack said, as he reached in his pocket for his phone. "I took a picture of Amanda and the Russian man together. Is this who you met with that night in the warehouse?" Jack asked, while passing the phone to Sarah. Sarah took the phone and looked at the picture, her body felt hot inside, as she stared at the man who threatened her and Mike's life. "Yes that's him," Sarah responded her words seething with rage.

"I figured," Jack added. "Let me see," Johnson asked. Sarah handed the phone over to him. "Is this the guy that took Mike?" He asked. "Yes," Sarah said her blood boiling, as she clinched her fist so hard, that it drew a little blood. "I think I know him," Johnson replied. Sarah, Ashley, and Jack all snapped their neck so fast, that they had whiplash. "What do you mean you know him," Sarah asked angrily. "Whoa calm down, not like that," Johnson said throwing his hands up defensively. Jack placed a hand on Sarah's shoulder to try to calm her down. "It was a few months back, but he was meeting with Amanda in the parking lot. They were having an intense conversation when I came out to head home, but I couldn't make out what they were saying," he said. "Then what happened?" Jack asked.

"When I came out and they seen me, they both immediately stopped talking. Which was odd at the time, but I didn't think really much of it," he stated. "When I walked over to Amanda to see if she was ok, the guy stepped in front of her and I slowly backed up. She then whispered something in his ear and he backed off. I then proceed to ask her who is that and she said it was her boyfriend or brother I don't really remember, but after I checked if she was okay and she told me not tell anyone he was there, she then got in the car with him and drove off.

That whole situation was weird, but I didn't think anything of it, as I thought she didn't want anyone to know, as this is a government secret building that only people with a special clearance should know," he says. "Why didn't you tell director Birmingham," Sarah asked still a little pissed off. "Tell me what," Birmingham said, startling everyone, as they jumped in their seats. "Johnson seen Amanda with the Russian spy that kidnapped Mike and threatened my life about two weeks ago," Sarah said, as she snatched the phone outta Johnson's hand to give to the director. Birmingham took the phone from her and analyzed the picture, "you made contact with him Johnson?" The director asked.

"Yes sir I did, but I didn't talk to him he just kind of walked off before I could," Johnson responded. "Well it would have been important information to know back then, as our building is now compromised," the director bark. "I am extremely sorry sir," Johnson said. "How can we trust you and your team if you are withholding something like this from your own boss?" "Are you working with Amanda?" Sarah asked, as she stared in disgust at him. "No no no it's nothing like that, it was just a one off thing I thought it was nothing serious and she said she had the ok from Birmingham so I just went on about my business," Johnson spoke, as he tried to clear his name and defend himself.

"Ok let's all calm down we don't have time to be fighting with each other," Jack said as he got up. "Director what was that call about?" He asked. "That was a call from one of my connections at the police precinct, they have found "Sarah's body" and a few of the other "dead" sleeper agents," he stated. "Ok that's good, we can still fool Amanda into believing that their plan is working and use that to our advantage," Jack said. "You are right," Sarah said still glaring at Johnson. "We need to execute our plan before we can't bring Mike back alive," Jack said.

"This is what we are going to do, we are going to round up Johnson and his team and you all are going to head to the hideout and rescue Mike, while you do that I will give Amanda the news about Sarah and the other agents, so she can call her contact and let him know what's going on while your on the way. Once I do that I will keep Amanda busy so she will not be around her phone to get a call and be tipped off about what is going on. When you are finish give me a call and I will then proceed to arrest Amanda and take her in for questioning," Director Birmingham said, running down their plan. "Ok let's all get ready and head out," Jack said.
