Chapter 12

"Jake give me my keys, I need to go!" Abigail shouted

When she'd rushed out her office to her car, Jake intercepted her in the car park taking the keys from her hand

"Where are you going?" Jake asked

"To an important meeting, that I need to get to now" Abigail said going to grab her keys again, Jake holding them above her head

"Tell me what's going on with Cyclone" Jake insisted "Cause I'm not letting him take advantage of my sister"

"He's not but he is going to kill me if I don't get to this meeting, so give me my keys!"

"Really?" He asked

"Yes really! I'm going to a meeting about a job promotion, Admiral Kazansky and Maverick can vouch for me"

"Abigail, Hangman, what is happening?"

"Family matters" Jake snipped

"He's holding my keys hostage and not letting me get to our meeting" Abigail said crossing her arms

"Hangman, Abigail needs to be at this meeting, it's very important and both you and her could get in trouble for her not being there, it will directly affect your career, her career and the dagger squad, so hand Abigail her keys back and go back inside, you have drills in 5 minutes" Maverick said calmly

Jake dropped the keys into Abigail's hand allowing her to open her car and put the address into her phone

It was bearly a 10 minute drive to a large corporate building

She found the meeting room opening the door

"You left after me" she said confused seeing Maverick already there, Cyclone and Iceman also there with other high up Admirals

"Bike" Maverick said simply

"Gentleman, Abigail Seresin, she is our advisor, she will be speaking on behalf of the aviators" Maverick introduced "Pleasure to meet you, Admirals," she said pleasantly, sitting down at the table

"Admiral Bates, please" Iceman prompted sitting down

An older Admiral stood up "Greetings everyone, I apologise for such a short notice meeting and appreciate you all being here, but there's been a recent development into the mission" he said

"Ms Seresin, how much are you aware of?" He asked

"I know nothing but it is a top secret and is very important," she said

"Okay, the aviators won't know anything, not until they are about to leave, they will be given the simplest information we can afford to give them"

"How much information am I privy to?" Abigail asked

"As much as we know" Admiral Bates assured "Which is?" Abigail asked

"We are sending in two planes, newly developed planes, stealth planes, as quiet as we can make them, we then plan to have one of them go in at night and scout out an enemy base, they stay in the air, The others land about 5 miles away and sneak in to get some information we need them to extract"

"Is that safe?" Abigail swallowed hard "Are we sure their combat training is up to standard?"

"We will be retraining them and picking our teams based on their best abilities and who we believe is best for each part"

"And each plane will have 2 Lieutenants in I must assume" Abigail asked

"Yes they will"

"And for the ground team, will both be infiltrating or will one stay with the plane"
