I walked into Albert’s private suite and nodded to Sergeant Harrison before crossing to snatch my cousin off the floor and toss him into the air screaming and laughing. I caught him and handed him back to Molly who grinned at her son squirming in my hands. Albert looked up from some reports he had been reading and grinned, “How did it go?” I smiled, “Like clockwork. You shouldn’t have any more trouble from that quadrant.” He nodded and tapped his reader screen, “This is my new headache, Reverts trying to get control of the common seats.” I grinned, “Not my business.” He shook his head, “Maybe they are. Dragon Intel is sketchy but something is stirring them up.” He looked at Molly and frowned, “Molly’s pregnancy is different this time, harder.” I crossed to the desk, “The doctors at the imperial hospital can…” He waved that away, “I know that.” He looked at the screen again, “The one thing Intel does know is that it is something to do with a birth.” I looked at Molly, “Molly?” He looked at Molly as she glanced at us, “They don’t know. They report the context as the birth of something…” I sighed and looked at Sergeant Harrison, “Smoky, tell Dragon Leader to send me everything I need to catch up.” She grinned, “Does that include Samuel’s escape attempt during the annual Dukes counsel meeting?” I grinned as Molly laughed, “Perhaps he can throw that in last.” I nodded to Albert, “Let me change and catch up.” I walked out and couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. I opened a private comm. channel to Tinker, “Tinker?” There was a long pause and then the sleepy sound of his voice came on, “Who?” I chuckled, “Your sleeping to soundly again. It’s Jason.” “Hey Captain wonder.” I grinned as I walked through the halls, “I need an updated check on palace weapon and explosive scanners.” I hesitated, “Have new remote scanners been placed in the Imperial Hospital?” There was a sigh, “No, the scanner units kept getting delayed.” I shook my head, “Get with the boss. I want those scanners in place before Molly goes into labor. Ask for some of Silver to help. Also tell Huntress I want to see her.” He groaned, “I just went to sleep.” I grinned, “You can sleep when you’re dead or retired.” He laughed, “Pretty much the same thing.” I closed the comm. as I pressed my palm to the sealed door pad. A moment later the thick door slowly opened. I walked into the large room stripping before the door even closed. I showered and dressed before sitting at my desk. The updated packet was ready and I opened it. A tiny window opened in one corner and I saw Colonel Beal. He looked up and grinned, “Welcome back Jason. Nice work with the Silvers.” I nodded as I started scanning the material, “What’s the word on the Reverts?” He looked at something, “Nothing we can pin down. They are definitely planning some action they think will change the empire. We have both Dragon and Fleet intel working on finding out what their plan is.” I looked at his image, “Albert is distracted by whatever this is. He also… absently mentioned Molly’s pregnancy not being normal.” He nodded, “She feels the baby kicking more this time, nothing more than spousal worry.” I sat back, “You know about my feelings. If he is mentioning this then we should be prepared. We can bring in our fleet surgeon as back up and have him studying birthing complications. Another thing, we need the scanners in place now not when we are rushing Molly in with Albert by her side.” He nodded and chuckled, “Tinker already read me the riot act and volunteered two Silver Vipers to help him.” He looked up and sigh, “Anyway, welcome back. Albert has a lunch meeting with Baron Newcomb in an hour.” The window shut down and I went back to flash reading everything before stopping and standing up. Huntress and Dancer were leaning against the wall when I walked out and started down the hall. I glanced at Huntress as they fell in, “I want a detailed check of everyone at or near the maternity ward. Use what you need.” She nodded and they turned to head down another hall. I stopped and looked after them, “Huntress?” She stopped and looked back with an eyebrow raised, “I have a bad feeling. Do it right and take Dancer to watch your… back.” She grinned at Dancer and nodded before turning to walk away. I walked into Albert’s suite as he was standing up looking at his time keeper. I smiled and glanced at Sergeant Harrison, “Put Molly’s detail on alert and tell the Lieutenant I said to go to plan Nestling.” She nodded as her eyes flicked to Molly. I looked at Molly as she stood and lifted Samuel to her hip, “And what is plan Nestling?” I smiled, “The salle is off limits until after your daughter is born. You will have a three man detail any time you leave the suite. You will wear the trackers all the time, regardless of where you are. Samuel will have his two man team at all times.” Her eyes narrowed, “Jason…” I shook my head, “You accepted Albert as your husband. You knew what that meant. Something doesn’t feel right and I have no intention of putting you or Samuel at risk when I am not there.” I looked at Albert and he grinned smugly at Molly, “I told you.” She stuck her tongue out and looked at the sergeant, “Sarah? Tell the… army, we are going to swim.” She turned to head through the far door and Smoky chuckled as she followed her. I led Albert out the door and his six man travel team fell in. He glanced at me, “Did you get a chance to look over the Reverts?” I nodded as I continued to scan the hall, “They seem radical but without resources. The intel is sketchy at best, but they seem to think they are going to take over the empire.” He nodded, “I agree. There is something I am missing. As far as I can tell I have never received a letter of complaint from any of them. We have three planets in the tiger quadrant that reverted. They only went so far before they realized what they were doing and changed directions.” I chuckled and then stopped Albert at the door to let the two lead men step out. When I got their all clear signal, I led Albert out and across to his waiting vehicle. The ride to Baron’s Hall was quiet with Albert looking over notes. While they had lunch and talked over budget matters I used my screen to finish updating myself. I got Tinker’s comm. as we were walking into Albert’s office back at the palace, “Jason?” I glanced around making my checks, “Yeah?” I heard Tinker sigh, “You were right. The company sent the new scanners twice and someone stole them before removing it from inventory.” I looked at Senior Sergeant Muldive, “Stay with him and go to condition Amber.” Albert looked up from his desk as I turned to the side door and opened the Gold Company comm. net, “This is Crimson Dragon, as of right now we are moving to condition Amber. All teams go to fifty percent. Boomer, contact Bronze and Frost for our back ups. Get Amber and Black on the perimeter and contact the Silvers.” I switched to the Dragon command comm. net, “Dragon leader this is Crimson. I have taken us to Amber status. Request a meeting with you and Silver Dragon.” I heard Colonel Beal’s calm voice, “I’m with Silver now. We’ll meet you in Albert’s side office.” I looked back, “Stay here sir.” I used the palm lock before opening the door. I opened a private comm. to Sergeant Harrison, “Smoky?” “I heard boss.” I smiled as I stood in front of the bank of displays, “Keep an eye on her Smoky.” I started doing checks on some of my hunches and worries and the screens flickered as I went through everything rapidly. I glanced at the door as the Colonel and Major came through. I opened a private comm. to Tinker, “Tinker?” The reply was instant as if he had been waiting, “Boss.” The Colonel and Major stopped beside me, “Have a team of Silvers bring the backup scanners from the palace and get them in place today.” He sighed, “Will do.” I looked at the Colonel, “someone hijacked the scanners and deleted the inventory logs.” He frowned and looked at Major Hibson, “Someone is inside. Have our fleet surgeon brush up on birth complications and send a team to the hospital to secure one room now.” She nodded, “I’ll put Raptor around the ward and all routes in.” The Colonel nodded and looked me, “Start using the combat transports for any movements.” I nodded and looked at the Major, “I would like to use Griffin for support, one platoon in stings ships doing patrols and the rest around the hospital in covert hides.” She looked at the Colonel, “You think it will be that bad?” I looked at the Colonel, “I have a feeling and I don’t want another Wayne. I would also move the insystem ship limit out to the ten light minute mark and bring the planetary shield to standby.” Colonel Beal looked at me for a minute while Major Hibson was silent. He finally nodded and looked at the Major, “Fine, but use Raptor for the sting ships. I want Silver in covert positions before nightfall. You are to go silent unless myself or Jason contact you. Make sure you have a complete weapons loadout.” The Major nodded and turned to leave. I looked at the Colonel and he sighed, “I’m getting to old for this Jason.” I grinned as I headed back into Albert’s office. It was the next day that I got a warning of what was to come. The transport had just left the palace, headed for the nobles monthly counsel meeting. The missiles fired at the transport had barely left the launcher when reactions started. Three stings ships fired on the launcher within the first second. The transport dumped its load of counter measures. The decoy ship flashed between the seeking missile and the transport. I grabbed Albert and threw him into the sealed shock pod as the transport went to emergency acceleration. The launch site exploded in a storm of plasma. The decoy transport lurched as the countermeasures failed to distract the missiles and they exploded against its side. In the screen I watched as the decoy transport seemed to hang in the air before starting to fall. We swept into the counsel with a full platoon of dragons around Albert. I was still getting intel up dates when the counsel ended. At first the huge chamber had stirred with all of us around Albert until he briefed them on what had just happened. I had Alex running facial response checks on every one of the nobles. So far they all showed no foreknowledge of the attempt on Albert’s life. I scheduled a return transport but surprised Albert at the last minute by pulling him out of line and towards two dragon sting ships sitting beside the transport. I stopped him beside his bird, “You fly forward on the starboard side. If I see you so much as wiggle in the wrong way our evening sparing match will be very painful.” He grinned, “For a ride in a dragon sting ship, I’ll behave.” I nodded and headed towards the other ship. We had just taken off when the next action occurred. Whoever was directing the attempt was very good. The launch site that targeted the transport exploded before it could launch and we went to full acceleration. When a dozen launch signatures appeared I cursed and opened my comm. “Go to Dragon Flight, full power Lieutenant.” I slammed my throttle back as the back up stings ships swept down and started firing. The rest of the sting ships began a wild dance around Albert’s ship as we flashed over the city at mach 10. The shields of all the sting ships glowed and our trails were streaked with fire. Albert did an emergency landing at the palace field with four of us around him, the other six ships hanging overhead with active scans screaming a warning to anyone foolish enough to try targeting him. I ignored shut down protocol and vaulted out of the ship to run towards Albert. I had already opened my comm, “Black Dragon this is Crimson. We are down and proceeding to the field entrance.” “We have you. Gunslinger is enroute with his platoon.” Albert popped the canopy as the rest of my dragons converged. I took his shoulder and started guiding him towards the far doors and the platoon of running men. We had barely started when I felt a tingling and glanced back toward the far side of the field. I shoved Albert down and covered him with my body, “Missile!” The field was suddenly laced with fire and the edge of the field exploded in a ball of plasma. A second explosion threw everyone to the ground as one of the sting ships flew into the oncoming missile. I yanked Albert up and pushed him in front of me as I started running. Before we reached the door the platoon of Black Dragons was behind us covering our back trail. Once we were into the safety of the palace I opened a private comm, “Dragon Leader this is Crimson. We are moving through the palace now.” “I have you on the scans Jason.” I glanced at a grim faced Albert, “Send out an imperial arrest warrant for the Reverts.” “Already done.” I closed the comm. “I hate assholes that hunt dragons.” Albert glanced at me and I kept hurrying him through the halls. When we entered Albert’s suite Molly was waiting. Little Samuel was in his play pen and Dragons where standing against every wall. She holstered the pistol she was carrying and I looked at Sergeant Harrison, “Why does she have a weapon Smoky?” She didn’t even glance at Molly, “If you want to take it away, go ahead.” The Dragons around the room chuckled as Albert embraced Molly. I shook my head and opened my comm. as colonel Beal called, “Jason?” I looked at Albert and Molly, “Yeah boss.” “The missiles they are using are ancient. Our countermeasures are not designed to counter them.” I spun as I heard Molly gasp, she was bent and holding her pelvis. Albert was bent over trying to find out what was wrong, “Smoky!” She was already moving as I opened the all Dragon comm. channel. I could see fluid running down Molly’s legs, “This is an all Dragon alert! Go to condition red! Move to start Dragon Hatching now! Tinker secure the damn room!” Two Dragons were already moving Albert back and another was running from a door with a stretcher. I nodded to the play pen as Samuel started to cry, “Get Samuel to his grandparents.” I wasn’t risking an air transport, “Bronze this is Crimson Dragon, we are moving to the south entrance. I want a full convoy waiting and get every sting ship up for air cover. Frost, move now to secure the alternate route to the hospital! Amber, we are going to need a rolling perimeter!” I was running with all the other Dragons as we surrounded Molly and Albert. Five minutes later they were helping Molly into a fast armored car and then all twelve vehicles sped off. Every intersection between the palace and the hospital was blocked. Over fifty sting ships hovered above us and another fifty was circling around them. I was tense the whole way but we pulled into the hospital safely. We were almost to the birthing room when Huntress and Dancer appeared from a doorway and screamed. Reactions took over as I tackled Albert and covered his body with mine. Smoky and two other Dragons were doing the same with Molly when the world went crazy. The explosion threw us up and slammed us back to the ground. Many of the Dragons were down, either dead or wounded. I screamed into my comm, “This is Crimson! Dragon Heart! Silver Dragons move in now!” I went to my knees with blood coming from my nose, eyes and ears. The group of men and women rushing into the hallway were carrying weapons and I started firing. One or two other Dragons joined me but they just kept coming. I was hit in the chest twice and slammed back. I grabbed the body of a dead dragon and yanked it over Albert as he tried to crawl toward Molly. I had to smile to myself because Molly was lying on her side screaming as she fired the Mark VI into the group of fanatics. The explosions that rocked the whole hospital made me grab Albert, “Evac now!” I yanked him up as Huntress and Dancer appeared to grab Molly. Two other Dragons stood on shaky legs and started firing to cover us as we pulled back towards the vehicles. At the next intersection Tinker and two more Dragons were covering the other hallways and fell in behind us. Huntress was half carrying Molly by the time we came out the doors. It was chaos outside but from the look, I knew we were winning. Silver Dragons were surrounding the drive and it looked like a full scale battle. I pushed Albert into the vehicle while Tinker pushed the body of the dead Dragon away and climbed in behind the wheel. As soon as we had Molly in, I nodded to Tinker, “Go! The palace!” I opened the comm, “This is Crimson. We are breaking away from the hospital enroute to the palace. If we have him, get the fleet surgeon to the vault. We need the Marines boss.” “I have two battle brigades on the way from the other continent.” I sat back as the adrenaline started wearing off. The pain in my chest was familiar and I knew I had more broken ribs. I looked at Molly and Albert before looking at Dancer, “I’m hit. Take over as Albert’s primary.” She nodded and Huntress looked up from checking Molly, “If we don’t get her to the vault soon she’s going to have the baby right here.” I nodded and looked towards Tinker, “Don’t lollygag, Tinker.” He grumbled, “Suck eggs boss. You just watch the rear.” Huntress and Dancer both grinned and Molly actually laughed. We sped through the palace gates and stopped at the platoon of Black dragons waiting by the door. Huntress handed Molly out and followed her before Albert could get between them. I moved slowly as they took off running. I looked around slowly before followed after everyone. It took the Marines two months to sweep the city for the last revert. Constance Teresa Amanda was born kicking and screaming almost as soon as she was out of her mother. Molly had chuckled to the doctor, “She’s a Drake Marine.” |
