Darling listened and effected her, she heard of dead and the wounded, she had seen it too and hearing it from him, she stood and asked. "Are you full?" Theo wiped his mouth. "I'm good." "Are you sure?" she asked as he took one more bite of chicken, he grabbed his first glass of wine and stood.
"Follow." Theo looked at her, she walked to the elevator and pressed the button as he sipped and they went inside, then she pressed the top button. Theo sipped as she was done listening and the door opened and she unfroze time, the guards looked at her the Queen the door opened and knew she could and watched as he went back to the bars and the door closed. "You may finish." Theo sat and Darling went out the door and it shut.
She walked down the stairs and to the main bedroom, and there her children were playing with Angel having a good time; spending a lot of energy. She watched for some time as her husband Scott came in and he kissed her, they hugged.
Angel sat on their bed her grandmother and she came close and sat. Angel turned to her "Yes?" Darling first asked "What happened to my mother and father?" Angel said. "They stayed in America, they did not think we could live as well as them or better." Darling then asked as Scott sat beside her smiling.
"How did you build everything on the island so fast?" Angel said. "We didn't. You see after I won the lottery and wanted to get away. I wanted to get away so to build was not my interest. I found an auction for an island, owned previously by the US government. During World War II they were concerned about the Atlantic sea, U-boats came very close to the US soil. So just like maps of today they add or take away details so if copies your found out.
I happened to find it and won, relatively cheap if if you ask me, the boat cost more. Did you never notice that the buildings are shaped like the pentagon? Military, the port already built, and being the military when people face death; they need release. So huts on the shores, bars, hospitals; as usual when the US Government leaves they leave most behind for cost, so we had beds, chairs, tables; they even started a farm that was ready before we got there; It needing tending. There was even at the end of the war a nuclear facility and all we had to do was get some uranium." She stopped. "Maybe I shouldn't tell you that."
Darling nodded. "Continue" Her whole family was listening now. Darling asked. "How do you have internet?" Angel laughed. "What the world does not know, during world word two the world wanted to communicate and they made large, very large cable in the sea. As in so big sharks have a hard time biting through it cables upon cables connecting all of the earth from one point to another."
Darling nodded it made
sense, she watched her children get in their beds listening it had been a long time for that. And then Angels phone vibrated. "Hold up." Darling nodded. Angel looked at the auto text, and her face changed. "What is it?" asked Darling. "It says that contact to the boat Daring is gone." Angel watched and another auto. "The island is without power, emergency calls."
"What is happening?" asked Darling "I don't know." She read more. "Deaths are reported and there is no more signal from the ship Darling!" Darling stood and said I can get us there in a moment." Angel stood beside her, "What are they doing?" Another message. "Explosion's many, many feared dead, The Angel boat his and feared to sink."
Darling stood and her eyes instantly turned black, Scott stood he knew he could not stop her. "Wait" He said, she looked at him eyes fully black and he watched as she grabbed. She said. "I will be back." She kissed him and just as he was saying no she grabbed Angel's hand and said "Hold on." And in an instant they were there. She looked and they both put their hands on their mouths.
Angel looked and asked. "What is this?" Darling looked and watched, the island was on fire, many dead on the ground, her ship under water fire on the water, all over. But there was no light this night the electricity gone.
slm was the last to get to the island, they had everything they needed but an eye doctor, he enjoyed it enough but so few it was not his whole duty and he gardened beside Amlow. Shawn was the real gardener, he was calm tending to them and Amlow learned from him.
Amlow rubbed her shoulder. "Are you okay?" Amlowe said. "There must be a storm coming because my body aches." When that bullet tore her collier bone it was there forever.
She stood with a large shade hat on, white clothes long sleeved for the sun in the tropics, the food grew as the desalination of the water for the plant worked and gave enough water for all.
slm was close and watched her she walked. "Are you sure?" Amlowe nodded yes, after she was shot she was done, but did not get rid of her AR-15. She walked home and placed the food on the counter after entering her door and closing it.
She watched as SLM who she did not get concerned passed. Her children where on the TV playing a game online, and she began to cook as she watched the front the windows.
SLM felt welcome more than any other place and he liked to walk, and as the sun went down, he slowly enjoyed it. Palm trees, the crash of the waves, he imagined fish. He heard a giggle as he walked two teens passing by. "Are your sure?" the young teen male asked. "Come on, it will be fine, she took her top off and SLM turned. The Darling. He walked up the wooden plank guarded on both sides.
He looked around, all wood it seemed and very nice. A fridge, freezer, stove of gas. He nodded nice, he walked around saw the controls; he imagined pushing the throttle forward, and then gone.
The explosives places prior blew the ship in half on first spark, SLM was gone his body disintegrated in the blast. Amlowe just happened to look up.
"Children get down!" and as she ducked the outflow blew the windows out and the electricity stopped. Glass blew all over her and the spaghetti she was making. "Mom!" Amlowe rushed to her children her two boys afraid. "What happened." She responded. "Get to the bedroom now go." They went and she followed in the dark, the windows out but the moon shown some light.
She grabbed a notch in the wood under her bed and pulled it up. "Get down." "What momma?"
"Get down now!, do you feel the box?" Her eldest felt and said yes. "Give it to me." She pulled out her AR she never wanted again, and after putting in a magazine put on a belt holding more, she then took a helmet and lowered her night vision glasses, she did not like being shot and did not want her sons to be.
The fires she could see through the door and windows up front and she went and closed the bedroom door and waited, she heard the screams as people screamed for help and no. And just as she thought they passed her she heard it, footsteps on the wood, she chambered a round. She whispered "Boys put your fingers in your ears and close your eyes and no matter what happens do not make a sound."
And then it happened the flash bang was thrown into her house, she looked down her eyes closed and she listened and she heard. "The door." More than one, and as it opened she let fired, her life and her children on her mind and she tried to be precise, and it hit knees and blew them out and as they fell her night vision showed her and targeted to chests, the bullets came back at her and struck her goggles.
She went down the hole they were gone; but she was not done, she dropped the mag entered another and just put it over the top and pulled. The bullets sprayed. She heard the screams of pain, and slowly got up. She slowly went past the spent cases on the floor past her bed, her children under the floor and as she came through the door.
A man pointed a gun at her and he missed she fired and took him out, one more was there reaching for his gun and once more she fired two into his chest. She dropped her adrenaline flowing, she grabbed the ammo that would fit her rifle and she stood focused. She walked over the glass the spaghetti no longer cooking the electricity gone as she saw the darling burning in the water she could not believe it.
She went out looking and lowering her guard. "Kneel." A gun at the back of her temple and she raised her arms as she knelt down and kept her arms off her rifle. "You killed my men, this I can't allow." He started to pull the trigger when she went down in fear from the sound, and the bullet he fired went just past her ear.
She opened her eyes and looked left, the mans head had a hole big on the front from the exit wound; she turned left and saw JPF's nurse, she had a gun in her hand and came closer to her and as Amlowe was about to get up, the shots hit her in the chest, she looked down her blood flowing and she dropped bleeding out and Amlowe heard him behind her. She looked at the nurse whisper. "It's okay." as she died.
Amlowe waited for her turn and JPF's wife mad over watching it all fired first, she struck him in the chest he did not stop and started to raise his gun to her she kept firing and finally one to the brain. He dropped, so did she right beside the nurse. They hugged and started to cry together.
