He looked at me, tears in his eyes, and then took me back in his arms. I cried into his chest. "Oh god, I made you cry. This is not how today is supposed to be going. I'm sorry, sweetheart, I shouldn't have argued." He rubbed my back.
"No, it's good I told you that," I looked up at him.
He wiped away my tears. "Ya, it is. But still I shouldn't have argued…I know you're strong and can handle situations that most people can't. It's just I care about you so much and if anything were to happen it would kill me."
"I know, I worry about that too. I would never want anything to happen to you either, it would destroy me. But, you were right since I'm injured it would safer if I ran comm. There's no way I can handle a gun. I should've thought of that. Forgive me?"
"Only if you forgive me."
"I do, even though it was my fault."
"You could blame it on the painkillers," he joked. I laughed as he tried to lighten the mood.
"I love you," I whispered.
"I love you too," he said. He kissed me softly.
Pete turned off the dirt road and parked behind a group of trees. We got out of the car, I slipped off my jacket, emptying my jacket pockets, I stuck my phone in my back pant pocket and attached the radio to my hostler. I tossed the jacket in the back seat then joined Keith and Jeff who had opened the trunk and pulled out the weapon compartment. They were reloading their guns and putting silencers on. Pete quickly joined us and did the same. He handed me the SUV's keys.
"Another team will be joining us, they'll stay with you and if we need back up, you'll send them down to the compound."
"All right, when will they be here?"
"Five minutes."
"Ok, I'll get you set up. You need to move before we are discovered." I ran around and took the computer out then sat it on the hood of the SUV. I refreshed the real time images and put the comm piece in my ear. I then sent the layout to Pete, Jeff and Keith's PDA's.
Keith came behind me and put his hands on my waist. I turned around and hugged him. "Be careful."
"I will."
"Amy, let James know it's a go," I said into the radio.
