During breakfast As we all gather around we were informed that there would be a party that night with all the people around. I look at Lian about it and he informed me that he wouldn't be going.
I was ordered to clean up all the fighting areas and no fighting of any kind today. The War Chief informed me that a lot of these men wouldn't be able to handle a women that can fight let alone someone that trains others.
Lian doesn't join me at all during the festivities, i go looking around for him as I'm handed drinks.
One of the other guys inform me it's for the better.
Simply don't understand why they would tell me it's for the better that he's not here. For the first time in my life I have someone who wants me to be with me for who I am.
I get upset, and decide to go outside to the fresh air. The war chief walks over to me. I can smell the alcohol on his breath "do us all a favor and don't say a word near any of our visitors. Your accent will give you away from not being around here."
"I can just say I'm from the new world" I tell the war chief
"One problem one of the men are and he doesn't sound Scottish so we know that wouldn't work" he tells me.
It seems like they tried to find a way to hide my identity and failed.
I sit quietly on the bench for drinking, wishing the Lian was near me so that it wasn't so bad. We all go in to eat and something catches my eye.
It's Gibson or looks like Gibson, I'm afraid of it not being Gibson and having them all realize it. He sees me and I knew it was him just don't know how it happens to he Gibson. I've been here for now 4 months, last thing I heard Gibson was in Sweden.
The war chief and Chief wave me over, I head over and next thing I know
"Ashely?"
It is him, I can see that his chief and war chief are freaking out.
"Airman 1st class Matters" he hollers at me with his thick New York accent.
I turn around "Senior airman Gibson" I run towards him.
I run into his arms, we stand their hugging for a minute, everyone is in shock realizing that we know each other and happen to not be from this time.
I release and hit him hard in the arm.
"What the hell! You were in Sweden from the last thing you told me?" I yell at him
"You went MIA but they found his body so I went looking for you? Another Assassin showed up I took care of him and than I end up here in the fucking past." He tells me
You see everyone pray, I start laughing.
"Do they know they truth?" I look at him
"Hard to hide it with the way I was dressed" he tells me.
"What do they have you doing?" I ask him, I'm curious especially with him being the best engineer I know.
"I'm trying to work on electricity, running water, and fix the sewage"
"How's that going?"
"A pain in my ass for the electricity since i have nothing.
"I brought all my bags when I got stuck here." He looks at me eyes widen
I have to stuff he needs to do what he needs to do.
Someone runs inside screaming that red coats are approaching.
All the chiefs and war chiefs looked stress.
"Uniform still fits you?"
"Yup"
"How many?"
"15"
"You got this?"
"Oh hell yeah"
"Go change I'll decoy them"
"I need your stuff." He hollers at me
I run up to my room and quickly change, grabbing all my gear and the stuff he needs.
I see them all in the dining hall, talking to Gibson.
I see more than 15, 18 to be exact.
Two are by the door.
I decide my best option with his body language is to do this slowly.
I creep up on the two. I get one of the little girls near by to grab one of their attentions.
She gets him to follow her and before I know it, I'm right behind him and snap his neck.
30 seconds later the other one goes looking for him
I creep up behind him. I snap his neck.
2 down
One by one, i snap all of their necks. I could tell with his arms he's loosing patients with me. He wants me to hurry up. I finish up all of them, so now it's just the one left that he's talking to. I decide I want to have fun with this one I give him the sign that I'm done and will be having my fun now. I see the war chiefs, the chiefs, and all their wives looking at us in shock. I slowly get to him and remove his gun. He realizes.
"On your knees" I tell him
"Guards" he tells
"Sorry I killed them all" I tell him
"Took you long enough" Gibson tells me
He walks over to where I am. We can tell this red coat is afraid for his life.
"Been killing a lot of red coats?" Gibson looks at me
"Just the ones that piss me off" I tell him without loosing contact with the red coat.
"Where can we take him to torture him for information?" He asked the war chief.
"Do it here." Another one says.
"We need to know why we are being harassed"
"Okay" Gibson says he began a tying him up.
Once he's tied up. I go to sit down.
"What do you want?" I look at Gibson.
I'm going to enjoy this as he takes his pocket knife out.
I go over to the Chief " you sure you want to do it here. It can get messy"
"Your not doing it?" The war chief looks at me.
"No you want Gibson, he can get anyone to talk. I just get rid of all the problems so he can get the answers he needs."
They all look at me weird.
"We do a lot of missions together, I have to leave him one body so he can get info out of but he chooses the person."
Next thing I know one of the war chiefs starts throwing up. Obviously they don't have the stomach for what he did.
The guy starts screaming. "I'll talk, I'll talk"
He begins talking to Gibson telling him everything.
The war chiefs are impressed with his ability to get whatever he wants out of them.
"Anything else?" He asked the chiefs,
"No that's impressive" one says.
"We done" he looks at them all
They all agree that we are done. I pull out my hand gun and shoot him in the forehead near where they all are.
The looked shocked by this.
"We can't have him say anything" I looked at them.
Luckily all the bodies are already taken care of. So we go to help remove the last body and before we get a chance two others come over and remove him.
"I better go change" I look at Gibson.
All the war chiefs look at him in shocked.
"Where did you learn all that lad?" One asked
"Same place Harden became a trained killer" he tells them.
"We're trained to make sure, no terrorist acts happen. She went on mission without me. One and only in a year. She goes MIA, I lost it. I had to go find her. I ended up here. I though I would never see her again." He get tears in his eyes. Lian walks behind him.
"Are you two together?" He asked wanting the truth, but not knowing if Gibson knew about him.
"Oh no, she's like my little sister. She's my best friend. You don't stick romance and missions together it ruins the bond. Besides she's not my type and she knows it. We've never seen each other that way" he looks at Lian.
"I need to go find her, talk to her she has something I can use really bad."
"I'll take you" Lian tells him
They walk to where her room is. Lian knocks, "you decent?"
I head Lian knock on my door.
"Come in" I wonder what Lian has been told
He walks in with Gibson. Oh this shall be interesting.
"You were told to keep a low profile." Lian tells me as he sits on my bed.
"Yeah well something happened" I tell him
Gibson looks at us both curious.
"David this is Lian"
He give me a look like okay and he's what to you.
"How do you know David?" Lian asked me curious
"We worked together back in our time. She's my wingman" he tells him as I hand him the parts he's after.
"Wingman?" Lian asked.
"We do a lot of missions together, work close together. Lian you have nothing to worry about. He's basically by big brother and my best friend." I tell him
"Does anyone here know?" I look at David
"Nope, wrong era to come" he tells me.
"So what do you do?"
"Nothing til I have to. They keep trying to get me to meet girls." He gives me a gross look.
I start laughing
Lian looks at us confused.
"Do you know any Lads that aren't interested in Lassies, but lads?"
"Jackson is believed to be one but nobody will ask him. I do know his wife sleeps around with other men like his friends and his son looks like his friend"
"Jackson who is he?" David is curious
Lian looks shocked. Like he just realized what we were telling him.
"She's not your type because you don't like Lassies"
"Bingo" David says.
"Oh" Lian had to sit down
"You ok Lian?" I asked him
"How?" He asked
I could tell that David is annoyed
"Lian we come from a different time, we're it's okay and acceptable to be into the same sex. You love the fact that I can fight and stand on my own two and defend others."
He looks at me and nods.
"You finally found someone that can handle that you can beat his ass" David starts laughing
Lian gets annoyed by this comment
"Bro I'm happy, I've seen her hurt time and time again once they find out that she can fight. I can't tell you how many faces I've punched because of them not liking it." David tells Lian. He gets up to shake the mans hand.
"Your suppose to shake it" David tells him
Lian shakes his hand and they let go "what does that mean?"
"Has different meanings hello, agree, thank you"
"Okay, well the party is still going do you want to meet Jackson?"
David smiles and we leave
