"Yeah, that was pretty much it," Margo answered, "She just, didn't see you fit to be king; she thought you would make Lehana look bad."

A commando smacked the man across the face and ordered him to keep quiet. "A bullet in the head, quite honorable" the commando replied in a sarcastic tone.

Gordon fell to the ground. He could feel Willy's blood. With his hand he touched it. "He died in honor because he followed orders and was the best soldier anyone could ask for." Gordon got back up and stayed quiet.

Atticus sighed "Well, she's the one making everyone look bad instead of me" he replied.

OOC: So Kulikovo you want to speed up time so Chester and Gordon get to the rallying point.

The van drove for several miles more and made a turn off onto a dirt road. The van bounced around before they reached the end of it. The commandos took the prisoners out of the van and headed up to a clearing. A helicopter descended from the skies and landed on the field. The prisoners were shuffled onto it and the commandos boarded as well. The helicopter lifted off...

"Can you aleast take off this maskes? That is all I ask for. Also what do you do with our friend?" Chester asked.

A commando smacked him across the face "Your friend's gonna rot out there in the woods" he said over the hum of the chopper "The hoods stay on"

Gordon knew that no one deserved that kind of burial. If he ever got out of this he would find Willy's body and send it back home. Back in the Canadstein the Black Jacks had their own cemetery. Willy was going there. Chester closed his eyes and remebered his days before the Civil War in Kulikovo. "Did you fight during the Halloween Riot?"

"Shut up!" the commando said and hit him again.

Chester knew that he should be in the hands of Tarayshian military personnel not Kulikovo commandos. They had no right to take him away. Plus he was getting beaten and Willy was dead. Moving closely to Gordon he whispered. "Be quiet until we get to where we are going."

OOC: Do another time wrap since nothing is going to happen in the helicopter.

OCC: Your guys can keep talking and I could just beat them some more :D

IC:

After several hours in the helicopter it began to descend onto a military airfield. A truck pulled up and the prisoners were unloaded. The one commando said in a sarcastic tone "Nice chatiing with you".

OOC: Wow this is a lot of traveling. How many more place are Chester and Gordon going to go?

Chester said nothing. Gordon wanted to say something, but he knew he would be beaten.

The truck drove further down to a building in the base. The morning was coming and the prisoners were huddled into the building. One in one cell. After a while one of them was taken out of the cell and into an interrigation room. Master Lt. Hylland stepped in as the prisoner was still handcuffed, his hood taken off.
"Have a nice ride?" he asked with a smile "First off, what is your name?"

Chester looked at man. Chester had a black eye and was bleeding from his mouth. There was a small amount of dried blood. "What do you think, sir? I'm Captain Chester Martin."

"I think you're a criminal and a terrorist, Chester" Hylland replied "What were your orders? Who gave them and why?" he asked.

"My orders where to kidnap Queen Lehana and who gave them. I don't know. We were just hired and given a point to drop her off. For why. We don't know the person just gave us only information about our orders. I don't even know who the person behind." Chester replied.

"So a ghost gave you these orders then, eh?" Hylland asked as he rolled up his sleeves. He was a tough man in his thirties and was a veteran of several conflicts. Most of his life was dedicated to Kulikovo and preserving socialism.

"Yeah you could say that." Looking at this man he looked to be atleast thirty. That means he was about his age during the Halloween Riots. "What's your name, sir?"

"My name means nothing. Your name will mean nothing soon enough" Hylland replied "What did you think was the purpose of kidnapping the queen?"

"I guess not to marry Atticus. You looke about my age. So I'm guessing you fought for the communist during the Halloween Riots? I was there. It was hell." Chester replied.

"Socialist is the more appropriate term to use. Well, you have nothing to give me. We're done here. Guard! Take 'Chester' away and bring me the other" Hylland called out. "I'm not here to chat, I'm here to get information." he said as two guards entered the room.

Chester was put back into the cell. Atleast he had that damn hood off his head. Gordon came into the room and his hood was taken off. He looked at this mysterious man.

Hylland cleared his throat "State your name" he said, eyeing the prisoner as he walked around him. The door shut and was locked.

"Sgt. Gordon McSweeney, sir." As Gordon glupped then stated the information. He was nervous. He knew that Chester and himself could be killed without mercy. So he would give all the information he knew.

"What were your orders? Who gave them and why?" he asked as he put his hands on the table. Hylland hoped that this one would have more information.

"To kidnap Queen Lehana, sir. The person had some high position in the War Department. Also he justed to keep Queen Lehana for his own reason, sir. The person never told us why or who he was." Gordon stated.

"Interesting, your friend failed to mention anything like that, that won't do at all" Hylland replied "But you're doing great. So, there is a pimp that works for the Canadstein War Department, eh?" he said and patted Gordon on the shoulder.

"Where was this drop off to take place and when?" he asked

"Well a day after the wedding at noon in the Northern Forest of Canadstein. I don't know the exact coordinates, but the only person that would surely know would be Willy. He can't tell you since your men killed him." Gordon started to have tears from his eyes.

"Gordon, don't start breaking up like that" Hylland said "Try and think, did he say anything, I'm sure you know something else. Tell me everything" Hylland demanded.

"He didn't say anything. Willy was the only one to know. If your commando wouldn't have killed Willy he would have told you!!!. Even Chester didn't know." Gordon stated.

Hylland smacked him across the face "Don't yell, Gordon. When you yell you make me nervous!" he said in a commanding tone. "Try to think, that area is pretty big, are you sure he didn't mention anything?"

"Sorry sir." Gordon calmed down and stated. "Willy told me that we could stay nearby a Hudson Lake, so it must be nearby there."

"See, Gordon. When you cooperate, it makes life easier for the both of us. Is there anything else you would like to tell me about anything?" Hylland asked with a smile.

"No, sir." Gordon replied.

"As in no you won't tell me anything or no as in you don't know anything?" Hylland asked.

"I told you everything, sir." Gordon replied. He got up and walked toward the door to go back to the cell.

Hylland became infuriated. He grabbed Gordon and threw him up against a wall "I never said you could leave!" he shouted and picked him up to his feet.

Gordon started at Hylland. "Sorry, sir. May I have the permission to be taken back to my cell?"

"Guards! Take him back to his cell" Hylland said. Two guards came in and grabbed Gordon. "I'll see you later. Think while you're in your cell. Think of any bit of infortamtion you may have in that brain" he said.

"Ok I will try to remeber any information." Gordon replied. When he got back to his cell he wondered where Chester was located. Chester sat in his cell that was right next to Gordon's. He wondered if they would get any food. Probably not. They just wanted information then they would both be killed.

Hylland went to his superior's office and briefed him on what the prisoners said. The location and connections will be looked into. Hylland returned to his desk and looked over documents. A guard came by and gave them food through the slots.

Chester ate his food slowly. He could hear Gordon also eat his food slowly, but faster then what he was doing.

Several hours later the guards came back and brought Chester to Hylland who's feet were kicked up and a cigar in his mouth "Grab a chair, Chester. Have anything to tell me?" he asked.

Chester sat down. He faced him. "Well that he was in the War Department and the location was near some lake. Willy knew, but Gordon might know. I couldn't remeber those things because my mind went blank, sir."

(OOC: I thought it would be fun to join in this part of the rp..)

IC:

Just then a knock sounded upon Hylland's door, "Mr. Hylland, I am Captain Marino Stunt I'm from the Tarayshian military. May I come in? I believe that my securtary sent you the message that I would be coming."

It was a few hours later that Lehana found herself sitting on one of the many balconies eating a late lunch with Atticus.
"I want to thank you for talking to the advisors today," Lehana stated, "About two hours ago I sent a message to the captain of my military and he should be ariving at the secret location soon."

"So your names Hylland. Hello Captain Marino Stunt. I guess Hylland can tell you all the information his gotten some far." Chester replied when this new man came.

"Hello Captain Stunt. I was just about to engage in further questioning with Chester here" Hylland replied as he shaked the man's hand.

"It was no problem." Atticus said as they ate "That's fine that you sent someone there. Hopefully an answer to our questions will be found"

"I think I have told you everything I could Mister Hylland. Unless you just want me to tell you old information." Chester replied then started to cough. He literally felt like shit.

Hylland wanted to smack him for calling him mister but he refrained "Yes, tell us some old information" he said.

Captain Stunt shook the other man's hand before taking a seat.
"Well," the captain began, "I have the information that Gordon told you. What I am looking for is the name of the person that gave you these orders. I sure as hell don't believe that shit about you not knowing. Make things much more easy on yourself Chester, you give us a name, we may just give you your freedom."
The captain took a slip of paper off his clipboard and handed it to the other officer in the room. The captain handed it to him face down so as Chester wouldn't see it.
"Here are some addresses where we'll take them if they give us a name," the captain said.
However, when Hylland would read the paper, there would be no such thing on it.
In short readable hand writing the slip stated:
Get a name, then dispose of them. No threat will come to our royal family and new alliance.

Hylland looked at it and nodded to Stunt. He cleared his throat and asked "Do you have family, Chester?" Hylland stared at him, his eyes not blinking "We can get to them. Don't think we can't."

Stunt nodded, "The same with Gordon's family; I would just flat out confess Chester, who gave you these orders and why our queen Lehana?"

Lehana smiled, "Still, I want to thank you; you're going to make a wonderful partner by my side, I just know it."

Atticus smiled and kissed her. "Margo did some checking and found that no one else was involved or had a clue" he said.

Lehana grinned, "that's great, Margo is good at that stuff; so what now?"

Chester looked at this men. "Oh every memeber of the Black Jacks has no family. The only family they have is us. Why should I tell you anything more? You will probably just kill us." Chester started mutter about a alleyway with a girl name Jess.

Hylland laughed "Black jacks? What an odd name for a group of criminals" he said. He walked around "So, have any bit more info on anything to tell us?" he asked.

Atticus thought for a moment "I haven't the slightest idea, Lehana" he replied.

"Black Jacks is a mercenary group Hylland. We are not criminals. We are soldiers for hire. Very much like you. Why should I tell you anymore? How will I know I wouldn't end up like Willy?" Chester replied.

''I am not a mercenary, comrade" Hylland laughed "I am an officer in the SAO. You don't know that you won't end up like Willy. If you don't tell us then you'll be wishing that death comes to you like an old friend"

"I meant were both soldiers. Most likely in this situations the person will tell then will be killed. That's what Stunt gave you right. We aren't living. Were enemies of the Queen and Atticus." Chester replied. He was exactly right.

"If you don't tell then you'll wish you were dead. At least by talking we can spare you the agony of what surely awaits if you don't" Hylland replied with a stoic face.

"You know what I might die, but you will never find out the person behind these. Also Gordon doesn't know who exactly behind this whole thing. So I'm the only one." Chester replied.

"Do you honestly believe we'll never find out? You must not think highly of our intelligence gathering, despite the fact that we uncovered the plot and foiled it" Hylland replied, he was adgitated a bit "We'll see what happens with you"

"Fine I will tell you if you do one thing. Put Gordon and me on a helicopter going out of wherever we are located. I will tell you as we are on the helipad." Chester replied.

"Chester, I thought you didn't know anything else? This means you lied" Hylland said "How can I trust a liar? How do I know that on the helipad you won't give me you mother's favorite recipes instead of what I want to hear?" he asked.

"You know why? I will tell you because I want Gordon to get the hell out of here. Also you can perform a lie detector test on me. My memory has been coming back to me since that damn commando knocked the shit out of me." Chester replied. He knew the information and they didn't believe he didn't care. Gordon was going to find a way to escape.

"How does this sound, we release Gordon, you tell us what we want to hear and if the information checks out, you're free to go. If not, I will bring Gordon back and torture him infront of you then kill him and do likewise to you" Hylland responded in a serious tone.

"You release Gordon right now and I see him leave, then I will tell you everything." Chester replied.

"Well, we're not going to let him go yet. I and my associate here must talk with him first." Hylland replied as he paced the small room.

"Gordon doesn't know that much. Just release him now and I will tell you everything." Chester replied in a more demanding tone.

"Don't raise your voice to me" Hylland said, he rolled up his sleeves "He may know some more"

"Your wasting your time then." Chester replied. "Then take me to the cell and get Gordon in here."

"How many others are in this Black Jack group?" Hylland asked.

"52 men Hylland." Chester replied quickly. He wanted Gordon out of here.

"Where are the rest of them? Are they committing other criminal acts in other nations?" he asked.

"Nope there back in Canadstein." Chester replied with regret. He knew that the Black Jacks were going to be attacked.

"Well, if the information is leads to what we want. Then you and Gordon will be the only remaining members of the Black Jacks. Are they part of the military?" he asked with a pleased look.

"Yes they hired as a military group right now. So unless you want to start a war with a country that helped you during the rebellion go ahead. So are you going to get Gordon in here or what?" Chester replied cooly now. They weren't going to get to the Black Jacks. Their base was in the North in a secert base in the forest.

"You think we can't get to these 'Black Jacks'? I don't give a damn about a war. One day, all 52 of them will just disappear, never to be seen again. You'll see Gordon later, don't worry. The information you have just better be good." Hylland replied coldly. He would do whatever it took to get the Black Jacks. "Hell, you trying to kidnap the queen of Tarayshia and possibly cauing harm to Atticus could cause an incident all on its' own. Do you know why you were caught?" he asked.

"Trying to kidnap Queen Lehana. So do you want the information?" Chester replied. It would be a cold day in hell before he got to his men. They had all been trained well and could survive any attack.

Hylland leaned in close to his face "Your whore lover, Saweta betrayed you" he replied with a sinister tone.

"I already knew this. How would I be here without Saweta betraying me." Chester replied. It didn't really matter to him. He only had one person he loved.

"Do you know what's going to happen to her?" Hylland asked. "I'm glad you already knew, saves me the trouble of explaining it"

"Probably exile." Chester replied with no emotion. She betrayed me. He didn't really care. "So let's get down to business."

"Whay business would that be?" Hylland asked in a smart tone.

"To give you the information and get Gordon out of here Hylland." Chester stared at Hylland. This prick was going to die somehow.

The was a knock on the metal door. Hylland went towards it "I'll be back, you sit here and think" he aid and walked out.

Chester sat in the chair and remebered the days in the Halloween Riot

Hylland walked back into the room a half hour later. This time he had another folder with him. He took a seat and laid the folder on the table "Chester, do you know a woman named...Jessica?" he asked.

"Yes I know many. There were dozens in Canadstein that I can remeber." Chester replied.

Hylland took out a picture and slid it across the table "Take a look" he said.

Chester looked at the picture. It brought back memories. "Oh Jess. Yes I remeber her."

"Why do you think I have this picture and information about her?" he asked as he took back the photo,

"Because I served during your revolution. Hell I helped give you money and supplies. I helped your current government very much. Oh I know why because your going to kill he right. Well I have one question what happen to Yuri?" Chester asked.

"Yuri...Alenski?" Hylland asked "He's a sentor to the General Assembly" he replied.

"I know there was something between you and this Jessica. She is another reason why you should give us the right information. If not, then she will die.
" Hylland said as he put the photo back in the folder.

"I will tell you for Jess and Gordon's sake. Can you tell me what happen to Jess after the Riot and what job she has? Also Hylland where were you doing the riots?" Chester asked. He could remeber the way Jess looked. Also her beautiful blue eyes and blond hair. Jess was his only true love.

"Jess survived and is now happily married with children" Hylland replied "She is a professor at the University of Jonensberg now. Myself, I was part of the riots and the revolution as a soldier."

"Well atleast she is living a good life now. So let's get Gordon on the helicopter and I will tell you the information." Chester started to have tears from his eyes. Jess was happy even though he loved her, but it could have never worked. They belonged to two different worlds.

"Yes, she is living a good life. It would be a shame to end it. That's why you better give us the correct information when you give it to us. Just in case you were thinking of lying, am I understood?" Hylland asked.

"Yes, so let's get Gordon out onto a helicopter." Chester got up and motioned toward the door.

"Guards! Take him back to his cell. Bring me the other one!" he shouted. Two guards came in and grabbed Chester to take him back to his cell.

"What? Why are you questioning Gordon again?" Chester was dragged off. Gordon entered the room and faced the man. "What do you want?"

"Anything you want to tell me, Gordon?" Hylland asked as he shuffled through his papers "Another question: Where is the Black Jack base?"

"I don't know anymore and the Black Jacks base. Well the base is in the capital of Canadstein." Gordon replied.

"Chester said it was near Lake Hudson to the north, who's telling the truth here? Please don't lie if you are" Hylland said.

OOC: Ok Chester never said where the base was located. He just thought about it.

"Gordon, do you know why you were caught?" Hylland asked.

"Yes because of that women Chester brought she betrayed us." Gordon answered. If he ever saw Saweta he would kill her.

"Chester has redemned himself to an extent. You are free to go. You will be boarding a helicopter that will take you wherever you want. In exchange, Chester will be telling us who gave the orders, along with other information. If it checks out, he will be released as well. If not, you and he will die horrible deaths, you get me?" Hylland asked as he got to his feet.

"Yes sir." Gordon looked happy, but he knew that Chester was going to die so that he could escape. Gordon got up to his feet and waited to be taken away to the helicopter.

Hylland escorted Gordon to the helipad with several guards. Chester appeared shortly afterwards. He stood the two of them together. "This is a civilian helicopter, they'll take you wherever you need!" he shouted over the helicopter. "Better say what you gotta say now to each other"

"Gordon I know I will not see you again most likey. So tell the Black Jacks that I will always be there and to never stop fighting." Chester hugged Gordon then Gordon into the helicopter. "Pilot where going back to the capital of Tarayshia I want to see the end of this wedding." Chester saw the helicopter take off. Chester looked at Hylland. "Let's go back to the room."

The pilot turned to the man "Sorry, I was given an order by the military not to take you to Tarayshia. Pick some other place" the pilot said.

Hylland escorted Chester back to the room and they sat down "I kept my part of the deal. Now talk" Hylland said.

"Ok I guess Canadstein." Gordon replied. It was worth a try. He would go back one day to get Willy.

Chester looked at him. "The mastermind is Pascal Talon. He is a officer in the War Department. I guess this Pascal like Queen Lehana and wanted to keep her. Also since you know his name you can't find where he lives, but he lives at the eastside of Lake Huron."

Another man from Canadstein landed down at the airport he was the real ambassador. His name Anthony Dresser. He took a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Once in the hotel he decided to get some sleep.

The helicopter flew in the night time to Canadstein, it would take a while to get there.

Hylland looked at him "Pascal Talon? Thank you for that information. We will look into it. If this checks out then you'll be free to go. But until then you're still my guest."

"Ok" Chester went back into this cell.

Pascal sat at the balcony of his house. He looked out toward the sunset. He wondered if Chester and his men were doing. Pascal pictured Queen Lehana's face. She was beautiful and he wanted to have her, but that damn Atticus was in the way. He went back inside and closed the doors. Tommorrow was another big day. Pascal turned on the tv.

Hylland informed his superiors who briefed the Chief of the Foreign Security Bureau who then briefed Chancellor Dantes. He gave the go ahead for an SAO team to move on Pascal. They would be there in hours, to kill him.

Hylland was tired. It was a long night of interrogation. But, it got results and he didn't feel bad at all. He left the military base and drove back to his home, to his family. His wife met him at the door.
"Valerik" she said and they kissed. They walked in and his two young children were there playing on the floor. He picked them up and asked how their days were. "Why did you all stay up so late?" he asked.
"They wanted to greet their father when he came home...for once" his wife replied with a smile.
"It's great to see you kids, now it's time for bed. You two have school tomorrow." Hylland said.

Pascal turned off his tv then went to sleep and turned on his security system.

Chester was in his cell. He went to the bed. Then he started to cough up blood. The blood splattered all over the floor. Chester fell to the ground. The blood was all the floor.

A guard was on his watch and checked each of the cells. He would open the slits and peer in quickly. He saw the blood on the floor and several medics rushed in and took him to sick bay where the doctors examined him.

SAO Group 4 in their black helicopters entered in low over the forests and hills next to lake Huron. Ropes fell were dropped over the side and the twelve man group slid down them and disappeared into the forest and night...

The SAO Group was well briefed on the layout of the hosue as they traveled through the woods, silently. Two fighters were in a holding pattern outside Canadstein airspace incase the SAO Group failed. They rushed quietly throught the woods. Finally, they reached the tree line and surveyed the area for security.

"Hey doc what's the matter with me?" Chester asked. He noticed the blood on his shirt.

Pascal's security alerted him. The dogs were released. Pascal brought up a camera on a computer screen. It showed the SAO Group. Pascal's alarm made a ten man security sent to his house. They waited inside and watched the group.

"You've suffered some internal bleeding. Those guys can go overboard sometimes" the doctor replied as he examnined him.

There was no point to stealth now, they broke off, killing the dogs. They were now in two groups and made a pinscer move at the house. They place explosives on the door and it blew open. They tossed several grenades into the living room. A sniper in the trees began to pick off one or two guards. Others laid suppressing fire as they moved in, keeping low and careful.

Two of the guards saw the sniper and blew it to pieces. The sniper was killed. The another guard fired upon a man. He slumped to the ground. When the battle was over all the guards were dead and the SAO had five killed. Pascal heard the noise. He ran and hid in a secert room.

OCC: Rent-a-cops killing five elite special forces commando?

The SAO Group swarm through the house, searching every corner and room. They were tired from the battle and were in search for Pascal. There was a metal door that they heard nosies come from behind. They blew it out and threw a flash grenade in. They entered and carried Pascal out. He was dazed.

OOC: Nope no rent a cops. Special Ops Mercenaries.

Pascal struggled. "You will never get me. Who are you men? You will never get away with this."

Chester looked at the doctor. "Man those damn commandos killed Willy. Man, Willys gone." Willy was somewhere in the forest.

The doctor ignored his comments and treated his wounds "You need to rest" he said as he looked at his bruised eye.

The commandos surrounded him. Their leader jammed the butt of his gun into the mans' face. The others joined in and beat him. They lost some of their comrades and sought vengence.

Pascal pushed a trigger in on his belt. The house exploded. The fire ignited Pascal into flames. Then the frame started to come down and landed on him.

Chester started to fall asleep. He was back with the Black Jacks at their HQ. Some of the men were playing poker while others slept. It was so peaceful.

[QUOTE=Canadstein]Pascal pushed a trigger in on his belt. The house exploded. The fire ignited Pascal into flames. Then the frame started to come down and landed on him.

OCC: That is dumb

The SAO Group emptied their clips into Pascal and quickly ran out, gathering their fallen comrades. They hiked back to the pick-up point and they boarded the helicopter which lifted off.

OOC: I was kidding.

Pascal was bleeding all over the place. Out inside a cd started to play. It was "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. The men outside could hear it. Then a candle started to set the whole place on fire. The builidng fell on Pascal and final killed him Pascal. The fire department gave five minutes later and got rid of the fire. They found Pascal's dead body in the morning. The government had already found a replacement for his job.

Chester started to fall asleep. He was back with the Black Jacks at their HQ. Some of the men were playing poker while others slept. It was so peaceful

Several hours later Hylland awoke and got ready to leave. His wife cooked breakfast and his family sat at the table. he looked at his watch.
"I have to leave, I love you Fyodora" he said and kissed his wife. Then, he said goodbye to his kids and told them to behave. Hylland reached the base and was told of what happened to Chester and the operation by SAO. He walked into the infirmary and talked with the doctor.
"You and your men roughed him up pretty bad" the doctor said.
"Without my men and me, you'd be out of a job" he joked and walked towards Chester.
"Wake up, prisoner" he said.

"What? Oh it's you Hylland. What do you want?" Chester said dazed he still asleep, but also awake.

"Pascal is dead. When you recover you will be released" Hylland plainly said as he sipped his coffee.

"When will that be? Also can I have some coffee." Chester asked.

"Don't push it. You'll be out in a few days, a week tops" Hylland replied.

"Yes it because you think I might do something at the wedding. Well since the benfactor is gone the job is done. Also can I have some coffee?" Chester asked again.

"I should've had you killed. But you've been spared as well as your friend. You're extremely lucky, no coffee for you. Don't ask for anything" Hylland replied.

"Thank Hylland. Take me back to my cell then. I want to rest there." Chester said.

Gordon finally got off the helicopter and onto Canadstein. The helicopter took off. Gordon saw a jeep waiting for him. Inside was another memeber of the Black Jacks, Tom Colleton. Tom was wearing some sunglasses. Gordon hopped inside. "Hey Tom. Well Chester was in prison and Willy is dead."

"Gordon, that sounded like a hell of a bad first mission."

Tom started to drive up north.

"You're gonna rest here" Hylland responded "Also, when you get out...I suggest you find another line of work"

"Ok Hylland I will rest here, but I will not stop being the commander of the Black Jacks." Chester replied.

"I shouldn't release you then. But my superiors have finally decided to allow it...If you join back up with them, then you'll die with them" Hylland replied. Hylland sat there and thought, they injected small tracking devices into Gordon and Chester when they were unconsience. So, it really didn't matter if they left or not.

"That's a chance I might take Hylland." Chester talked as he got some rest.

Tom knew that Gordon had to be checked out first. He led Gordon to the "main bases" of the Black Jacks in Canadstein. It was just a temp. base and they rarely ever used it. Tom was going to check that the men had held Gordon hadn't put anything into him. He stopped in front of a building. Gordon and Tom walked inside.

OCC: This could make a good seperate rp thread.

OOC: Yeah let's end it there. since you have more experince making threads can you make it?

OOC: Yeah let's end it there. since you have more experince making threads can you make it?

It's nice to hear you admit I am your better :D

OOC: I guess at making threads.

OOC: I guess at making threads.

And rping...

OOC: No Reponse

OOC: So will you make it?

OCC: Whenever I fell like, perhaps tomorrow.

OOC: Ok good night Kulikovo. Also fell? You mean feel.

(OOC: I know I haven't been around, I had some friends come in from out of town and I was spending time with them. Also Kulikovo and Canadstein, can I be in this new rp thread that you're starting? It would be interesting, and well;if it weren't for this wedding thread none of this would've happened. I wish I would've been around this weekend;when this was taking place!! Damn real life... Should I make a separate thread for the, "wedding part?" Or no...)

The queen of Tarayshia stormed onto a balcony where she had been chatting with Atticus.
"I just took that phone call," Lehana began, "Seems that they got some info from the Candastine nation and they let one of the guys go. Also, they're planning to let a second one go cause he gave the information about what was really going on. This guy named Pascal wanted me and those 3 guys were sent to kidnap me, the third guy is dead."
Lehana kicked a relling in frusturation and anger, "That's just great,they say that Pascal is dead but now what? God, I don't even feel safe in my own country and please don't tell anyone that because well, no one wants or needs to know that there queen feels that way."

OOC: No don't make a new thread for the wedding. Also you can join the new thread about Chester and the Black Jacks.

Anthony Dresser recieved a call from the President. President Mahan called and told him to the find the body of a air force general's son, Willy Knight. He knew that whole fiasco with Pascal and the Black Jacks. One of their memebers had told the Willy's dad about the whole thing. Well first he needed to find out where the body was located. He started to write up a letter to Atticus.

Dear Atticus,

This is coming from Ambassador Dresser. I have come to the wedding between you and Lehana, but I have also come to find the body of Willy. Can you please tell your security if they can find his body and ship the body back to Canadstein. This order is cooming direct from President Mahan.

From,
Anthony Dresser

Finishing the letter he gave it to a servant which would be sent to Atticus. Pulling out another piece of paper he started to write.

Dear Queen Lehana,

I'm Ambassador Dresser of Canadstein. I have come to see the wedding between you and Atticus. Also I want to set it straight that Canadstein government does want this wedding to happen. I hope your wedding goes well and the President gives his thanks.

From,
Anthony Dresser

Atticus was confused just as much as she was. 'Those boys over at SAO are up to something' he thought. The confused man stood up and said.
"I'm not sure why either. But, seeing how the man who gave the orders is dead then they'd have no reason to try it again. Especially after one of them was killed." he said. He walked towards her, trying to comfort her "They were probably let go so that they would lead the military to the rest of the group"

Atticus was upset and angry at this developement as well. But, he knew why they did it and understood why. The SAO wants to get the rest of these Black Jacks and will stop at nothing to do so.


Hylland returned to Chester's bed. The doctor finished his check-up and left. Hylland cleared his throat.
"Do you know why I'm letting you go? It's not because I'm keeping my word. It's because Senator Alenski leaned on us and the Head of the Foreign Security Bureau ordered me to. You're luck will run out someday" he said.

Hylland leaned in close to him "Remember this when you try and return to the Black Jacks: We can get to Jessica, we can hurt her and her family. So you think about that when you get the urge to see your comrades again." he said in a serious tone.

OCC: Should I make the thread just for the three of us. How does this sound for a title: The Deck of 51

(OOC: Yeah that sounds like a good title)

IC:

Lehana sighed, "I just hope you're right, should we still go to your country for our honeymoon?"

Atticus embraced her "Of course we can still go" he replied.

OOC: Yes that seems fine.

Chester knew that if he went back to the Black Jacks he would be a threat to them. These men were going to kill every single one of them.

"Yes I'm luck will run out."

He thought. 'But not my courage.'

"You just used up your nineth live" Hylland remarked. "You'll be out in two days. You just adhear to my advice and you might live a few more years"

OCC: So I should make the thread between just the three of us then?

OOC: Yes no more people.

"Ok, Mister Hylland." Chester replied. Once he got back to Canadstein he was going to go back to his house.

OCC: I have the thread up, we'll divert the Hylland and Chester stuff to that thread now.

Atticus would talk to Dantes about what was going on even though he had a rough idea as to what happened "All of those men will be tracked down and taken care of" he said to Lehana.

Lehana sighed then kissed him, "Good, they better be. I'm going to deploy some of my military to help your country out."
She then smiled, "Now, can we get back to planning our wedding? I can't believe it's in 2 days! Ok so, perhaps there's really nothing to do..."

OOC: Are you going to reply to the message the ambassdor sent you?

Atticus smiled "I don't know what else needs to be done for the wedding. It seems to be all taken care of." he said.

OCC: Bump

To: Hannibal Vulkano, President Of The People's Republic Of Moostolunk.

President Vulkano, I thank you for your letter and your congradulations. You are more than welcome to the wedding.

Signed,
Queen Lehana

It was a beautiful day in Tarayshia, and all had finally come to see the marriage of Lehana and Atticus.
"Are you ready?"
Margo asked as Lehana smiled, "Ready as I'll ever be, let's go."
Lehana walked out onto the beach, her dark hair pinned up, a white gown made from the finest silk and lace on her body, and her mother's wedding neckless on her neck.
Lehana began her walk down the ile;

OOC: I have been out of touch for a while due to some rl problems. So, I was wondering if anybody could give me a summary of what is happening before I jump back in?:D

(OOC: Woh, where do I start? Ok, to be very basic here...a nation was plotting to kidnap queen Lehana and one of the queen's advisors was going to betray her queen and help the teiorists get her so they could take her back to her nation. However, Saweta which is the advisor that was going to betray Lehana, cracked under the pressure and told Lehana and Atticus everything. The plot was stopped by Atticus's nation, and Lehana's. Now, there is extra security at the wedding, and upon farther investigation turns out that no one else had anything to do with the plot. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!)

President Ailani gazed in the mirror and thought he looked quite regal. He had lost 5 pounds in the past week, which contributed to the regal look. His hair was a silver color, and he was wearing a white button up shirt with his best looking deep blue sarong. Ailani thought, who knows I may even be able to find a young girl who will be willing to talk to me? It was depressingly hard to do so in his own country because he was never quite sure if the women he talked to were interested in him or his power as President. He turned around and walked towards the door and the limosine waiting beyond.

General Bellum was dressed in her usual pristine uniform and was gazing over military reports and war plans that she had brought with her. Then a voice drawled, "So, why am I here?" General Bellum replied, "The reasons why President Ailani brought you along to a formal state wedding escape me. However, if you try to put your hand on my thigh one more time I shall remove it from your arm." The rest of the ride continued in silence.

(OOC: Haha, I liked the last line of your post..very creative and cool!)

Atticus stood there on the beach where the ceremony was to held. He stood there, butterflies pinging through his stomach and heartbeat racing. He stood proud and handsome in his tuxedo. It was a gorgeous day out. The young man reflected on all that has happened. Reviewing the first time he wrote a letter to her, their first meeting, and all the time they spent together. Thinking of her calmed his nerves as he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. Dantes and sasha were nearby which made him a bit more nervous. But the joy in his heart was great. All of a sudden, Lehana began to walk up the aisle. She was so beautiful it made his one arm shake a little to see her radiance. 'What a stunning sight' he thought as she approached.

Lehana felt the nerves course through her as she looked up at Atticus and gave a smile. When at last she had aproached him she smiled again.
"This is it," she whispered as she thought back on the time that they had spent together and all that they had been through to get to this moment.
She saw the priest, a older man come up to the couple; he placed there hands together and stood back, "We are gathered here today to witness the wedding and union of Lehana and Atticus. If any do object, speak now or forever hold your piece."

Atticus held her hands and smiled. he said nothing but his eyes said it all as they looked lovingly into hers. he hardly heard the priest's words. lehana occupied his mind too much.

When no one spoke for exactly one minut the priest continued, "Atticus, do you take this woman to be your wife. Do you promise in front of god and all who witness that you will love, honor, obey and forsake all others as long as you shal live?"

Atticus looked into her and replied in a confident tone "I do". Lehana was the one woman he wanted to be with for the rest of his life and he said I do without hesitation.

When Atticus said I do Lehana gazed at him and smiled before the priest spoke again.
"Lehana, do you take this man to be your husband? Do you promise in front of god and all who witness that you will love, honor, obey and forsake all others as long as you shal live?"
Lehana gazed in to Atticus's eyes, "I do."
"Well then," the priest began, "With the power invested in me by god and the nation of Tarayshia, I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may kiss your bride."
Lehana smiled in joy as she leaned towards Atticus;

A soft smile of joy came over his face as she said yes. Atticus embraced her and kissed her tenderly and lovingly. "I love you" he said as he kissed her. Atticus was now whole in his heart. The pain of his past seemingly dissolved as he kissed his wife.

The queen kissed him back whispering, "I love you to."
Then the priest spoke, "What god has joined together let no man break apart. I now present to you the new Mrs. and Mr. Atticus Konovski."
Lehana turned and smiled as the crowd cheered at the union, she saw all her advisors bowing at the two of them and then rise and begin to clap and cheer.

The assembled people began to stand and clap on the beach. It was a beautiful scene. Dantes stood to his feet and even cracked a smile as he clapped, a rarity. sasha was brushing awa a few tears. Atticus only wished his family was alive to see this, they'd be proud of him. But he knew they are. It was the happiest moment of his life. He looked up to the sky and the sun shinned down on his face as he held Lehana's hand.

(OOC: Hey K, I'm back at my pc..you signed off before i could reply if you want to sign back on.)

IC:
Lehana smiled as the couple made there way up the beach, the crowd cheering and clapping. Lehana wished for her parents to see this, however she knew they were looking upon her at this moment. Lehana saw Jamila in the crowd, and the older sister raised her hand and waved at her. Standing beside her, Eric did the same to Atticus as the couple made there way to the limo that would take them to the reception.

(OOC: Bump)

OCC: Sorry about that, I had to jet

The newly weds walked through the crowd towards the limo. He saw Jamila and Eric. Attiucs raised his hand and waved to them with a bright smile. They got into the limo as people continued to clap and cheer. Atticus gave a sigh of relief. The young man looked over to Lehana.
"We're married!" he exclaimed and kissed her. Alot had happened to get to that point.

(OOC: No problem.)

IC:
"Yeah, finally!"
She kissed him back, "All we do now is go to this party, stay for a few hours and then you and I can go... celebrate."
She gave a wicked grinn which soon turned in to a happy smile, "Seriously, I'm so glad for this day that it has come."

"You little devil" He grinned back "I've waited for this day for a long time. I'm so happy" Atticus replied. he put his arm around her as the limo began to drive off.

She leaned against him, "I also can't wait for our vacation, it's going to be awesome! Does Dantes know that we're going there for our honeymoon?"

''I wouldn't doubt that he knows. Dantes works in mysterious ways." he replied with a chuckle. "The honeymoon's gonna be great. Just us, Mr. and Mrs. Konovski". The limo continued to drive.

"Yeah," Lehana replied as people outside cheered, just the regular people of Tarayshia.

Atticus held her close, thinking about the whole thing with the plot to kidnap Lehana. [I]I'm not gonna lose you[I]. he already lost one love in his lifetime, he wouldn't let it happen again.
"There sure are alot of people on the streets cheering" he remarked as he looked outside at the people. He knew she was a good queen and the people seemed to know it as well.

Lehana smiled, "I know, I love my people however I can't wait to relax and to just not think. When we get back, I plann to deal with Saweta formily but for now she can stay where she is."

"I'm pretty good at not thinking, it's really nice" he joked. Atticus heard her remarks about Saweta but only nodded. He didn't want to think of that. However, the thoguht of lossing Lehana was one that troubled him, but she was safe and with him. The limo pulled up to the palace. Throngs of people wanting to see the newly weds.

Lehana exited the limo, people clapping as Lehana smiled and nodded towards them. When Atticus had left the car, Lehana chuckled as she saw women smile and wave at him.
"She's lucky, I'd marry you!"
A girl screamed and Lehana laughed as guards surrounded the couple and they walked in to the palace and went to the hall where much food was displayed and a band.

Atticus stepped out to the throngs of people. he laughed too at the woman's comments "Sorry, I'm taken" he said, but not too loudly. He held Lehana's hand as they walked into the hall. "You've apparently made alot of women jealous" he joked. The hall was finely decorated. Atticus saw the food and his stomach growled.

President Ailani walked over to the newly wedded couple and said, "Aloha, Queen Lehana." He did a small bow. "I have to say it was quite a wonderful ceremony."

Lehana stopped as she saw President Ailani come up to them. She bowed in return, "Thank you for attending Mr. president. May I introduce my husband Atticus?"
Lehana smiled;

''It's an honor to meet you president Ailani" Atticus said and shook the man's hand. hearing her call him husband made him feel warm and loved. It had a nice ring to it, he'd never been called husband before.

Dantes and Sasha emerged into the hall. he looked around to see all the people. There was also much food, his stomach growled but sasha said they should go see the newly weds first.

Dantes and Sasha weaved through the crowd "Atticus! Lehana! Congratulations to you both!" he exclaimed and gave Atticus a strong hug. His hand punding against Atticus's back.
"Thank you, Dantes" Atticus responded.

"You look beautiful, Lehana" Sasha remarked.

OCC: My AIM's acting up again, sorry

Lehana smiled as Sasha and Dantes came up to them, "Thank you Sasha, I'm so glad you two could come. Well now, I don't know about you however I'm hungry so all of you feel free to eat as much as you like."
Lehana placed her arm in Atticus's arm, "Ready to go?"

"We'll leave you two love birds alone" Sasha replied with a smile. "let's go get something to eat"
"Yes, dear" Dantes said as they walked away.

"Yes I am" Atticus replied with a grin. "Let's have something to eat, I'm starving. I've been too nervous to eat anything all day."

Lehana nodded in understanding, "Yeah, I know what you mean I was the same way."
She and Atticus sat down at a table, she waving over a servant who nodded at Lehana as she told the servant to bring her the food.
"What will you have your majesty?"
The servant turned to Atticus as Lehana had ordered the chicken along with steak and various side dishes.

Atticus looked up to the servant. Majesty? Was I just called that? He cleared his throat. he didn't want to be refered to as majesty or any title. It took him a second to register what the servant just said "Uh...I'll have steak, thanks" he replied.
"Can't say I've ever been called that before" he remarked to Lehana.

The servant nodded and left in order to get the food for the new couple.
When Atticus had made his remark about not being called Majesty Lehana placed a warm hand on his, "I know it takes sometime in getting used to, however you won't have to put up with it long, especially after we leave here. If you want, you can only be called that in public and in private everyone can just call you sir or something."

The servant nodded and left in order to get the food for the new couple.

Atticus put his hand ontop of hers "That sounds like a good idea, thank you, Lehana. Thanks for understanding" He really appreciated what she said. It made him feel even luckier to have her as his wife. "It'll be nice to esacpe all the formalities and such when we're on the honeymoon"

"Defenently," Lehana replied as the servant came back with the food and placed it in front of them then left.
"So," Lehana asked, "When exactly are we leaving for Kulikovo?"

Atticus looked at the food, then to Lehana "Whenever you want to leave" he replied.

Lehana laughed as she began to cut her chicken, "Hell, I don't care.. a vacation is a vacation to me. When do you think it's good to go? I can make the arrangements with in a few hours."

Lehana laughed as she began to cut her chicken, "Hell, I don't care.. a vacation is a vacation to me. When do you think it's good to go? I can make the arrangements with in a few hours."

Atticus couldn't wait, he took a bite out of the steak and enjoyed it "Well, tomorrow would be my opinion. Hell, we could leave tonight if you really wanted to" he replied and took a few more bits of food.

(OOC: Kulikovo, check your tgs)

IC:
Lehana ate in silence for a few minutes before saying, "I want to enjoy tonight, how about we leave early afternoon tomorrow; that way we can sleep in and not have to rush. Before I, go to bed tonight I'll tell my advisors what's going on and tell them to make the arrangements."

OCC: Okay

Atticus put his fork and knife down/ "I want to enjoy tonight as well. Tomorrow afternoon sounds good" he replied with a smile.

General Bellum cooly looked over the Duke as he tried to charm the 15th woman today. "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" The woman looked the Duke over and walked away with out a word. The duke walked back to General Bellum and said, "Sheesh, all the natives here are really cold." General Bellum replied, "Move that hand another inch closer and I will castrate you... with a spoon."

Lehana grinned, "Awesome! I can't wait, the beaches, hills, mountains and a whole bunch of other cool stuff to see.."
Lehana stopped talking, she could hear what some other people were saying and since she knew they weren't from her nation she wanted to see if they'd mention her. When she heard the comment about how women in her nation seemed cold, she frowned. Then she laughed out loud when a woman that was with the man remarked about castration with a spoon.
"Sorry," Lehana said, "I thought it was funny."

'I can't wait either. It will be a great and memorable time" he grinned "Oh, I didn't hear what he said, what was it" Atticus asked. he was too busy eyeing up his steak.

Lehana chuckled, "Oh, I'm not sure who these two people are, however this man had said that the women here are cold, and the woman that was with him replied that if he were to move his hand one more inch she'd castrate him with a spoon."

Lehana chuckled, "Oh, I'm not sure who these two people are, however this man had said that the women here are cold, and the woman that was with him replied that if he were to move his hand one more inch she'd castrate him with a spoon."

Atticus busted out laughing "It seems Tarayshian women won't put up with harassment" he remarked. "Well, it sounds like the guy deserved it"

"That I don't know," she said as she continued eating and sipping the wine that had been provided for the party.

"That I don't know," she said as she continued eating and sipping the wine that had been provided for the party.

Atticus shrugged and went back to eating. he scarfed down the steak and drank some wine. The food was delicious and he quickly got some more tom eat. Across the room a ways he saw Dantes who turned to him, raised his glass, and nodded. Atticus returned the gesture.

"This food is great," Lehana stated, "The cooks did good, I just hope everyone is having a good time."

"The food is delicious! I think my stomach's gonna explode" Atticus replied with a content smile. "It looks like everyone is having a good time"

A few minutes later, Lehana pushed back her plate as she stood up from the table.
"If you'll excuse me for a moment Atticus, I'm just going to freshen up," Lehana said as she gave him a quick kiss and left the table to head for her private bathroom where she could wash her face and such.

''You are excused" Atticus said with a smile as she kissed him. he watched her walk away and went back to eating. Alot had happened today but all he thought about at that moment was food.

Lehana came back a few minutes later. She eyed up Atticus, "I take it you're hungry? Do you want to dance?"

Lehana came back a few minutes later. She eyed up Atticus, "I take it you're hungry? Do you want to dance?"

"I was" he replied and patted his stomach with a smile "A dance sounds good, I could stand to shed a few pounds now"

"Couldn't we all?"
Lehana inquired as she looked down at herself, she couldn't wait to get out of her wedding gown that felt like it was going to come apart. She took Atticus's hand and lead him out on the dance floor.

"Couldn't we all?"
Lehana inquired as she looked down at herself, she couldn't wait to get out of her wedding gown that felt like it was going to come apart. She took Atticus's hand and lead him out on the dance floor.

"Nonsense!" he remarked "You're perfect" he replied as they went out onto the dancefloor.

"Thanks," Lehana commented as they began dancing to a fast song, then it changed to a more slow one.

Atticus held her close as they slow danced. he made sure not to step on her toes. the last thing he wanted to do was hobble her.
"I love you, Lehana" he said as they danced slowly.

"I love you to," Lehana said as she placed her head upon his shoulder, "I feel tired..."

"I love you to," Lehana said as she placed her head upon his shoulder, "I feel tired..."

Atticus held her, he was feeling a little tired as well. "Do you want to leave?" he asked. There were other people on the dancefloor too. Dantes still sat at his table eating and Sasha was admiring the banquet hall.

Lehana raised her head and looked in Atticus's eyes with a mystious grinn, "Sure, I wouldn't mind, we should say goodbye to Dantes and Sasha first, then thank all for coming and retire to our room."

"Alright then" Atticus replied and the two of them went to Dantes and Sasha.

"Dantes, we're gonna take off. Lehana's tired" he said to dantes as he rose out of his chair.
"Well, it's been great being here for your wedding" Dantes replied and shook Atticus's hand "Congratulations, Lehana. Be good to him. And you better be good to her!" he said.
"I will" Atticus replied.

"You looked stunning today, Lehana" Sasha said "It was a wonderful ceemony"
