The Swift Security Series 79
The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 79Maddox’s point of view.Back at the bunker and I’m still sitting in the meeting room when everyone else has left, still trying to get my head around everything that's going down, but it's hard, knowing that this is going to be a really tough rescue operation; quiet possibly a suicide mission. I hear Jake’s phone ringing as he walks down the corridor heading to his office; his footsteps stop as he talks to someone, and a couple of minutes later, he pops his head back around the door as he says to me, “Maddox, you really need to hear this, buddy.”I raise my eyebrows as I ask, “Why, what's happening?”Jake walks into the room as he says, “I have a government agent on the phone, and apparently, he has just taken a call from a security guard at the Mansfield hospital. They are connecting us on a secure line now!”Jake places the call on the loudspeaker as we both gather around the phone.***Phone Call ***“Is this Jake?” A voice comes on the li

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 80Rubys’s point of viewAt The Mansfield hospital.I’m sitting with my back propped up against the wall as Ysabell sleeps with her head resting on my lap, with Melanie sitting by my side; I've tried to get her as comfy as possible, managing to find some spare pillows and blankets, but this is beginning to take its toll on her, she looks exhausted God knows how hard this is for her being in this situation on her last trimester. I hope that she can keep calm. The last thing we need right now is Melanie going into labour.Professor James is still taking care of the patients; he has this way of keeping everyone calm. I guess it comes with his years of experience. He's such a compassionate man and a caring, dedicated doctor. Dr Ian is trying his best to remain calm, but I can see the frustration on his face; he walks over to me with more blankets and pillows, smiling as he says, “You should try and get some sleep girls. It has been one hell of a d

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 81Maddox’s point of viewIt's been a couple of hours now, and Jake and the team have already started to move men into the hospital. Three teams have managed to gain access so far and Adam has links to all of the hospital security cameras, so that we can see the teams as they move their equipment inside on the live feeds. The snippers have also managed to gain access to the roof of the building now..It’s just a matter of getting them in position and waiting for the right time.I turn to Jake as I ask, When do we move in, Boss?” I'm beginning to feel antsy; I need to be down at the hospital; I need to be as near to Ruby as I can get. “Zane’s loading the trucks up now; we'll be moving out soon, Maddog”, Is his reply.“Good”, I mutter.Thank good for that I’m going insane waiting around here. He turns back to me and says, “Go and check on Adam. Make sure he has everything that he needs for the communications van,”I nod my head as I reply, “Sure

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 82Maddox’s point of viewI get changed into my full tactical gear, and we run through the necessary checks on each other one last time. Once Jake is satisfied, we can start to make our way around to the front of the building, the closest point where the terrorists stand as they watch over the hostages.It's finally time to make our way to the next point; Swifty, Tank, Bulldog and Bear all volunteered to be by my side on the front line. Of course, my crazy Ass Little Sis wanted to be with us, but she has been through so much lately, and I have enough to worry about keeping Ruby safe. I’m thankful to Adam for convincing her he needed an extra pair of hands with the surveillance van.The time is now 11.45, just fifteen minutes until we hit the building; Jake nods as he whispers, “You Okay, Maddog?” “Yeah, I’m scared for Ruby,” I reply; Jake knows how tough this is from his own experience with his wife.”I take a final look around, watching as th

The Swift Security SeriesMaddog83Ruby’s point of viewI’m sitting with my back against the wall; between myself and Ian, we somehow managed to get everyone sitting against the wall the way Maddox had asked. I don't think the terrorists have noticed, as it looks as though we are just trying to get comfortable for the night ahead. Iad had managed to find more blankets and pillows as we tried to make everyone as comfortable as possible.After a hushed conversation, we have also decided to keep what we know to ourselves for now, as we don't want the terrorists to become suspicious. There is nothing more left to do as we wait nervously and listen to the seconds on the clock slowly ticking by.Ian turns to look at me as he whispers,“Are you okay, Ruby?”I sign as I reply, “Yeah” although I feel nothing, but I’m worried for Maddox and his team; these people have a lot of weapons and explosives with them.“I just pray that we all get out of here alive,” I say as I turn back to IanIan gra

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 84Ruby’s point of viewHe holds me tight, and I look up to him as I whisper, “I can't believe we survived…you came for me” Maddox kisses my lips as he whispers, “I will always come for you, Ruby…Fuck I love you so much, baby.”I smile as I reply, “I love you too, Maddox.” The tears start to fall now; I guess the adrenaline is wearing off now as the reality of the day finally hits me.Maddox pulls me into him as he says, “It’s all over now, baby, Your safe now” He holds me tight as I break down in his arms. There is chaos all around us, but I never want him to let go.Jake is standing to the side of us, and he clears his throat before he says,“Ruby? We need to get you checked over, honey, you have a rather nasty bruise on your head, and we have a complete medical team with us here.I nod my head as I reply, “okay…Maddox?”He smiles down at me. “I’m not going anywhere, baby.”He gently takes my hand as we walk over to an area where the medical

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 85Ruby’s point of viewAfter hugging Maddox and promising to ring him as soon as I've got Ysabel settled, I walk towards the supply tent, looking for Ian and Ysabel. I smile as I see them sitting at a table, and Ysabel is eating a cake,“So this is where you two are hiding.”I say as Ian smiles and replies, “Yes, second chocolate cake and one in our pocket for later, isn't that right, Ysabel?”Ysabel looks up at me with a smile on her face as she says, “can I go to your house now, Ruby?”I sigh as I take a seat at the table and whisper, “Not yet, sweetie”, She starts crying. This poor child. I take one of her trembling hands in mine as I look her in the eye and say, “Listen, Ysabel, I need you to be a really big girl for me, I know that I promised to look after you, and I meant that, but Mary here is going to do everything that she can so that you can come home with me. I’m so sorry, Ysabel, but that isn't going to happen tonight.”She looks

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 86Ruby’s point of viewMary pulls up outside the front of my house, promising me that she will get things moving as quickly as she can, and hopefully, Ysabel can then be placed in my temporary care whilst the search for any other family starts. I thank her before I turn around and walk wearily to my front door; it's been one hell of a day. I look up to see Maddox sitting on my porch. My heart melts. I’m so grateful for him being here. I really need him just now.He stands up and starts to walk towards me, that cheeky grin on his face as he says, “Hey baby, tough day at the office?”I giggle as I reply, “yeah, you could say that” Before walking up to him, he pulls me into that big hug of his…I already feel better.”He puts his arm around me and steers me towards the front door, “Come on, babes, let's get you to bed. You must be exhausted.”Maddox’s point of view.I take her key from her hand before opening the door and leading her inside, pulli
