Chapter 21

Romotine paced the room his anger apparent from the many destroyed things around him. He had tried the doctor for over an hour then had gone to his place. They hadn’t found anything to suggest a struggle, robbery, nothing. Damn it! Without the doctor, there was no way he could recruit those they had captured. Sitting with a thud he stared at the wall trying to think of something. He had been there an hour when he remembered that Natasha was also a doctor, why the hell hadn’t he thought of this before!

Grabbing his cell phone, he dialed Natasha’s number. After a minute she answered sleepily, Romotine explained that he needed her as a doctor. It seemed that the doctor had disappeared, lying he also told her that the doctor had taken her mother and sister also. Smiling, because she knew he was desperate, she listened to him prattle on about what he needed, that she was the only one that could help him continue on with the glorious plan. Natasha looked over to Tahir sending him all that Romotine said. Saying she was far outside the city and it’d be a day for her to get back the leader thanked her and disconnected.

After getting dressed, they made their way to the Captain’s office to once again revise their plans.

To say that Roberts wasn’t pleased was an understatement. “If we lose either of you we might as well give ourselves up to Romotine without a fight.” Exasperated to no end, he shook his head at the new cockamamie plan that Tahir and the women had devised this time.

“Ok, the way I see it,” started Tahir, “he isn’t nearly as strong as May and I, we can paralyze him then transport. Kim you’ll have be our eyes and ears, Natasha with your heightened abilities no one is really a match for you, unless you start to tire, you can team up with Kim and keep us all safe.”

“Tatyanna, you’ll have to be the bait, I will do everything I can to find and return your son.”

Tahir hoped he wasn’t making a promise he couldn’t keep.”When I enter his mind you will have to keep him down till I can seal him or get him with the doctor’s apparatus. The way I look at it, either way will be dangerous; he has more command in his brain than any other I have ever seen.”

The Captain was about to speak when Natasha’s phone went off again. Quieting the others Natasha listened and only said yes for a few minutes. Hanging up Natasha’s face was grim.

“The little bastard wants me to find him some more women; I can’t do it knowing what he will do to them.” Natasha shook more from anger than fear, “I’m afraid I’d try to kill him if I saw him.”

“I know Natasha but we have to play this out,” Tahir said, “This is the only chance we will have to finally get this bastard.”

“We only have 12 hours to plan and get in place,” Roberts stated, “I am against this plan but I was against the last and it was a complete success.”

Tahir sat going over the plan as he had last time they couldn’t fail.

The next day as they were preparing to leave Roberts stopped Tahir for a moment.

“I was informed a few hours ago, that the military is standing by to render aid if you have need of it. They are on this frequency, the code to call for help is raiders are a go, good luck I hope you can nail that bastard.”

“Thanks Captain, this may take a few days you’ll be the first to know when we have him here.” Tahir went over the instructions again with Tatyanna, she was the one he was the most worried about.

With no abilities and none that he could awaken he was afraid for her the most. “May, remember, we have to shield her as much as possible.”

May was afraid also, though Tahir had taught her how to shield another, she had practiced for hours till Tahir was sure she could do it. Even with all this she was afraid she would falter and they’d lose Tatyanna, if that happened she just knew that Tahir would hate her and she couldn’t live with that. Hell for only the second time in her life she felt she was falling for a man; she had almost walked in on Tahir and Natasha the other night. She could only stare at them as they made love, god how she had wanted to join them! The funny thing was she had spoken to Kim, who was in love with him also, she hadn’t been jealous.
