Chapter 19

[I have found them and they are alive, still in stasis but alive. I can save them but ... I’m going to need help, also I found out that they were cured years ago it appears the doctor had to cure them or they would have died.]

Natasha started to growl at this [That little fake! How did they get sick, don’t tell me HE infected them also?]

[Yes, it would appear so] Tahir could feel her anger and held her still so she wouldn’t explode.

[Release me, so I can kill him slowly and painfully] she growled at Tahir.

[No, if he dies before they are gone, the leader would know, they were very important to him.] Sighing Natasha calmed while Tahir told her the plan.

The thirty men inside and outside the bunker were bored but tried to take their duty seriously. In the control room the three men there were playing cards, Tahir and Natasha appeared behind them just as they went to sleep. Motioning to her, Tahir reached out to the five in the hall as they crumbled. Next he started down the hall deeper. Upon reaching the chamber each man crumbled at almost the same time. Reaching the stasis tubes Tahir removed 4 vials from his coat. After the first two injections he knew it’d be an hour before they could be moved. Damn it! Everything the doctor had done was always in a hurry except this. Now the bastard did something right.

[Ok Natasha, we have an hour to wait till I can open the tubes and remove them. Any movement from outside yet?]

Natasha looked at all the monitors [No, not yet but from what I saw with you, they are supposed to do an exchange in 30 minutes. Can you manage that?]

[Yes, I looked through all their minds it shouldn’t be a problem.] Watching the two women he began to search for the right men. With only 5 minutes to go Tahir had programmed each man and had them at the door ready to go. After the exchange, the ten that came in went to bed (per orders from Tahir.)

[How long do we have now Natasha?] he asked.

Looking at the monitors again she replied, [We are good for another two hours. Will that be enough time?]

Sighing Tahir shook his head, [That will barely be enough. After I remove them I have to inject them again, this one will take an hour and a half to restore normal functions.] Natasha shook her head finally she’d be free, for now.

The time was fast approaching, after the second injection; Tahir had monitored the women, watching as their vital signs increased. With 5 minutes to go each started to stir.

Letting Natasha know, she was there when they opened their eyes. At the appointed time Tahir sent them to a predetermined place then he went after the doctor. Still unable to awaken the doctor was fighting the sleep with everything he had, he had almost overcome Tahir’s sleep command when he felt himself move. At the west coast branch the doctor awoke 2 hours later in a sound proof cell his head very fuzzy.

When the door opened, his eyes got huge, in walked Natasha’s mother, sister, Natasha and Tahir. Tahir held up the doctor’s weapon he had made to use on Tahir. Smiling Tahir fired point blank causing the doctor to jump retreating to the back wall.

“You can’t do this! I have information!” he screamed.

“No, you DID have information. For what you did to Natasha and her family, I will let her punish you. Oh yes, in case you didn’t notice Natasha has more abilities than she had. When you sent her to your old lab, she used HER Rad Coats. Her power has been growing for over a week now she is far stronger than she was.”

“Natasha,” Tahir said as he and her family left the room, “Try to not take all week ok? We still have that debriefing to go to.”

Smiling sweetly, though Tahir could see the rage and hatred behind her eyes when she spoke, “I will do my best but I have two years of frustration to make up for.”

“You can’t let her do this!” the doctor screamed, “It is against the Geneva convention!”

“Doctor,” Tahir stated a lot calmer than he felt, “This is war, you are an American who committed treason, the penalty is death by firing squad. We are foregoing this but rest assured, you are going to die, I just can’t say when or how. I am sure your punishment and execution will be befitting of your crimes.”
