head, there wasn’t much I could do.” He stood up and looked his brother in the eyes. Saw them turning an angry shade of blood red. “I saw Sally, she appeared to be knocked out, but coming to.”
Odin placed his hand on his brother’s shoulder. “I’m sorry . You did well. We will get them back and kill some terrorists in the process.”

Katherine clutched at her belly as she watched Colum, his father, and Travis suit up. Weapons were being inspected and re-inspected. Elsabet came up behind Katherine and wrapped her arms around her. “There is nothing you or I can do. This is a battle our men will fight without us.”
Katherine felt so vulnerable at this moment. She had the strength to wipe out a whole nest of terrorist s but not with the baby almost ready to be born. Then she would have to constantly feed.
Colum looked down at his wife. “We will get her and Olivia back, don’t worry.” He took Katherine in his arms. “All the women are here. Don’t worry, if this is a ruse to leave you unprotected, they will never know what hit them should they try to attack. You are to live below ground, you and the boys until we return.”
Katherine nodded her head which lay on Colum’s chest. She breathed his scent in deeply, not knowing when she would feel his body or smell his delightful scent again.
Colum let his finger slip under her chin. “A week at the most, my kitten. We will be back soon and in plenty of time for the birth of our baby.”
Katherine felt the baby kick a few times, steady rabbit kicks as she called them. She watched as Colum bent and talked low soothing sounds to her stomach. Covering her belly with his hand he gave it one final kiss and then caught Katherine’s lips up in a savage kiss.
Katherine watched as the men walked out of the house and then she and the boys along with the women went to the bottom levels of their home.

Odin got into the pilot’s seat of his Lear Jet. Thor threw their gear into the back. Odin talked with the tower and heard they would be cleared for take-off in ten minutes. Thor pushed the talk button on his phone.
“Yes, we are ready f or take-off, Uncle. Yes, we are meeting you all at Fort Drum. Yes, Wheeler Sack Army Air Field. Yes,” he typed something into the computer that he had on his lap, “yes, we’re at T.F. Green Airport. Do you see the map I am bringing up? I put a tracking devise on the car that took the girls. Yes, it stopped here but now we are tracking Sally’s phone. She has a GPS in it, plus her iPod. I’ve sent her messages but still nothing. OK, we are ready for take-off. See you soon.”
Odin taxied the Lear and they were behind two other small planes. “Once we get in the air, take the controls brother. I want to do a little investigative work.”
Thor was listening to air traffic along with his brother.
As they took off, Odin looked at the slip of paper that the young men who went to school with his Sally had given them. It had the license plate number for the car that the girls had been taken in. Checking it out before they had taken off, he found out what he suspected. They were apparently dealing with same terror cell that had sent men to kidnap and kill their Queen, Katherine. They had a few bases that they moved back and forth between. He was going to make sure, before they were too far into their flight overseas, that he found out which base they were going to.

Sally sat with her hands tied in front of her. She sat across the aisle from Olivia, who was looking more furious than she had ever seen her. The woman who had helped the men was really a prisoner, like themselves, and she sat next to Sally right now. Other than the three of them, there was no one else in the cabin of the plane as they flew to wherever.
“This is my little girl , if it wasn’t for her I would kill those men, but they hold her and will kill her or worse.”
Sally looked at the photo. She turned her
