Agent for a Cause

It was five hours later after igniting one of nature's greatest furies that Anna and I checked into a hotel in Germany. Anna sat on the bed and I could see that she was all about done in. I sat down in a chair by the bed and began to mentally prepare myself for the phone call that I had to make.

My suspicions as to Kevin's abductors had been confirmed and that was a very bad thing. The chopper had met up with a seaplane and from there Kevin had been flown somewhere into Eastern Europe and I had a good idea where.

I couldn't rescue Kevin alone and hope to succeed in the survival of either of us and I needed permission before I could do anything. If permission wasn't given I could still try to do it on my own, but I doubted that I'd get far. My hand shook slightly as I reached for the cell phone on the table as Anna watched me mutely from the bed. I dialed the number in and waited.

"Hello?"

"Flint its Tyre. I need your help Flint."

There was a long pause and I could well imagine what he must be thinking. I never asked for help. I'd sooner die, but such pride was a thing of the past and I simply couldn't afford such a weakness anymore, not with a boy's life on the line.

"What happened Tyre?"

"Kevin's been kidnapped."

"I'm on my way Tyre!"

"No that's not what I need Flint. It's going to take more than two of us to rescue him."

"I can pick up Galloway." Flint said quickly.

"Flint in addition to needing more help I also need permission or you can't help me."

There was another long pause, "Who has him?"

"The Iron Wills Club."

"Are you sure Tyre, because that would be a direct violation of our treaty with them?"

"I'm sure! I saw the emblem on their choppers and I received word from a source who saw the plane that I believe to have had Kevin on arrive in Prague about an hour ago. It's them.

They caught me by surprise Flint! I think they thought they had me and Anna dead, with the likelihood of the incident getting back to our agency being an unlikely one. I need you to talk to Chantry for me. Would you do this for me Flint?"

"You know I will! This number's good to reach you for a little while?" Flint asked.

"Yes."

"Hang tight then."

The call ended and I set the phone back down on the table and looked at Anna.
