The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 74Maddox’s (Maddog) point of view.I've had the most fantastic weekend with Ruby in Vegas watching the big guy marry Emily. I've only been with Ruby for a couple of weeks after meeting her at the hospital..I was smitten the minute I laid eyes on her.I've never been a relationship kind of man, I've had more than my share of one-night stands, but I've never found anyone interesting enough for a second date until now. Ruby is different, though. She may be tiny at just over five feet tall, but my god, she's feisty, and I love that about her not many can tell me what to do and get away with it. I could talk to her all night. We had this instant, what you call connection. Attraction Oh, we have that all right. I really like this woman, and I find that just as scary as I do exciting! We're heading back to the bunker, and the first stop is the hospital where Ruby works in A&E as a nurse. I lean into her as I whisper.“Are you okay, Ruby?” she turns

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 75Ruby’s point of view.Josh pulls me away from the commotion, my vision is slightly blurred, and my ears are still ringing from the explosion.He has a worried look on his face as he says.“Fuck, Ruby, are you okay?” He keeps pulling me until we somehow ended up under the desk of the nurse's station; there is smoke and screaming people all around us.I look at his worried face as I say.“I’m okay, Josh; what the hell just happened?”He shakes his head as he says, “I don't know, Ruby; just keep your head down, okay.”I look up as Ian joins us. He looks at us as he whispers. “Are you guys okay?”Josh whispers back, “Ruby took the full force of the blast; it knocked her off her feet, and she banged her head pretty hard.”Ian crawls over to me as he says, “Let me have a look, there's no cut, but you do have a large bruise on your head. How do you feel?”I shrug my shoulder as I answer. “I’m fine, Ian, honesty”, before turning to Josh as I say.Wh

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 76Maddox’s point of view.“Fuck I’ve got to get down there,” I say, running my hand through my hair in frustration.“I need to get to the hospital; I need to see that she's okay.”Zane places a calming hand on my shoulder, holding me back as he says. “You can't, Maddog. We need to find out who we are dealing with first, Believe me when I say I know how hard this is, brother, but you will be no good to Ruby if you go in there all guns blazing, getting yourself injured or, even worse, killed….We need a plan, and we're going to need backup with this one, brother.”Fuck. I know he’s right but I need to be doing something. I look at Zane as I say, “I can't just sit here fucking waiting; what if she’s hurt? What if she needs me.” “Fuck”, I shout out as I let my frustration out on the wall... When I look up, Laila has returned to the room with Jake behind her.“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” I find myself pacing again. I don't know what to do with myself; I do

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 77Maddox’s point of view.The rest of the teams begin to pile into the meeting, not only my Team with my Swift family but every other team that works with the company, along with various experts and a hell of a lot of our old military guys, each one laying a hand on my shoulder as they pass me, that one little gesture means so much as they each show me their support.The last two to walk are Adam and Laila; Adam has a laptop tucked underneath his arm, and he, like the rest before him, places a hand on my shoulder. This is a man that not so long ago I wanted to kill, and today, I have nothing but respect for him…Do I trust him completely, I hear you ask…No, not ye but I’m getting there…Jake Stands in front of me, facing a room that is full to the brim, I’ve never seen this before, and I’ve been on many rescue missions.I’m honoured that they are all here for Ruby, well Ruby and a few civilians, but I know if it wasn't one of the Swift women inv

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 78Ruby’s point of view.At the Mansfield hospital.I’m sitting crossed-legged on the floor, holding this little girl in my arms, my heart breaking for her as her father's lifeless body lies only a few feet away. Thank God they let us cover the bodies up.I somehow managed to send a thumbs-up back to Maddog. I just wanted to let him know I’m doing okay. Well, maybe not okay, but I’m alive. He promised that he would come for me, but I am doubtful that we will make it out of here alive. The bodies still lie on the floor where they fell, and there is no remorse from these men for the people they killed. I look down at the little girl as I ask, “what’s your name, sweetheart?”, “Ysabel”, She whispers back to me.I smile, trying to keep her at ease as I reply, “Awww, that’s such a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl.”She looks at me through big brown eyes as she whispers quietly, “Are we going to die?”Oh god, If only I could be as sure as I

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 79Maddox’s point of view.Back at the bunker and I’m still sitting in the meeting room when everyone else has left, still trying to get my head around everything that's going down, but it's hard, knowing that this is going to be a really tough rescue operation; quiet possibly a suicide mission. I hear Jake’s phone ringing as he walks down the corridor heading to his office; his footsteps stop as he talks to someone, and a couple of minutes later, he pops his head back around the door as he says to me, “Maddox, you really need to hear this, buddy.”I raise my eyebrows as I ask, “Why, what's happening?”Jake walks into the room as he says, “I have a government agent on the phone, and apparently, he has just taken a call from a security guard at the Mansfield hospital. They are connecting us on a secure line now!”Jake places the call on the loudspeaker as we both gather around the phone.***Phone Call ***“Is this Jake?” A voice comes on the li

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 80Rubys’s point of viewAt The Mansfield hospital.I’m sitting with my back propped up against the wall as Ysabell sleeps with her head resting on my lap, with Melanie sitting by my side; I've tried to get her as comfy as possible, managing to find some spare pillows and blankets, but this is beginning to take its toll on her, she looks exhausted God knows how hard this is for her being in this situation on her last trimester. I hope that she can keep calm. The last thing we need right now is Melanie going into labour.Professor James is still taking care of the patients; he has this way of keeping everyone calm. I guess it comes with his years of experience. He's such a compassionate man and a caring, dedicated doctor. Dr Ian is trying his best to remain calm, but I can see the frustration on his face; he walks over to me with more blankets and pillows, smiling as he says, “You should try and get some sleep girls. It has been one hell of a d

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 81Maddox’s point of viewIt's been a couple of hours now, and Jake and the team have already started to move men into the hospital. Three teams have managed to gain access so far and Adam has links to all of the hospital security cameras, so that we can see the teams as they move their equipment inside on the live feeds. The snippers have also managed to gain access to the roof of the building now..It’s just a matter of getting them in position and waiting for the right time.I turn to Jake as I ask, When do we move in, Boss?” I'm beginning to feel antsy; I need to be down at the hospital; I need to be as near to Ruby as I can get. “Zane’s loading the trucks up now; we'll be moving out soon, Maddog”, Is his reply.“Good”, I mutter.Thank good for that I’m going insane waiting around here. He turns back to me and says, “Go and check on Adam. Make sure he has everything that he needs for the communications van,”I nod my head as I reply, “Sure

If you can remember, Maddog married Ruby a few months after she was released from the hospital, not only because he loved her more than anything in the world or because he knew he had found the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, or because being in a stable marriage would help speed up the adoption process for Ysabel and not because she was carrying his child, but simply because Maddox being Maddox, just couldn't wait another minute longer, and he wanted to show the world that Ruby and Ysabel and the new baby were his. Edward Hall still remains in a wheelchair; three months later, the family welcomes their new baby girl into the fold Baby Eleanor and just a few weeks later, they officially adopted Ysabel.

The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 143Mishka’s point of viewMadame Cara drags me into the room by my hair; as I look up to see Ben, the look on his face breaks my heart.“Oh, so this is your woman, Such a pretty young thing.”She whispers as she runs the blade along my neck. I stand frozen on the spot as she laughs,“I could make some money off this one…I wonder how much my clients would pay to fuck two pretty sisters?”I watch Ben’s face turn red with anger as he stands with his hands in the air. Madame Cara’s men are pointing their guns at Ben and his team.She chuckles, pulling me back by my hair as she says,“Well, boys, I’d like to say it’s been a pleasure doing business with you, but that would be a lie. You can't take me down. Yes, you may be able to close this brothel, but I have so many others and so many pretty girls just like this one.”She pulls me closer, and the knife digs into my throat as Ben pleads.“Please don't hurt her.”Madame Cara chuckles once more as she s

The Swift Security SeriesBenChapter 142Ben’s point of viewI’m not fucking happy that Mishka is coming with us; I know this is her sister we are trying to save, but still, I’d be much happier knowing she was somewhere safe. I made her promise me that she would stay in the van with the doors locked until we come out.I kiss her sweetly on her lips before I pull my balaclava down over my face.“I love you, baby,” I say before heading off into the night alongside the rest of my team; Bear is going in through the front door. Thanks to Adam, we know there are always two guards at the gate; I nod to Bear before our teams split up. Bear takes his side, and I lead mine around to the back of the house. Click throws the rope ladder over the railings before we all climb over; checking my watch, Bear should have taken the gate by now. I count down the last few seconds, knowing as soon as midnight hits, chaos will rain down,Those ten seconds tick by agonisingly slow before Bear's voice booms

We are talking about what if she needs me. I have to be there…I have to go…I have to make him understand.I look him in the eyes as I say“She’s my sister Ben. I cannot sit round here wondering if you got her out, if she’s okay if you're okay…Please, Ben, it will drive me crazy what if she needs me.”“Fuck”, He mutters before carrying on, “Okay, you can come only if you promise me you will stay in the van until your sister is bro

He knows how much Alyona means to me, and I know that man would do anything to make me happy. It was such a relief when Jake asked Bear to come along with his team. I’m so glad Ben is not going into that house alone.It feels like forever until I finally hear the key turn in the lock; I turn to look at the door as I whisper,“Thank you, God.” before throwing myself in Ben’s arms, “Thank god you are okay; I’ve been so worried about you”.He laughs as he replies, “Baby, this is what I do every day; I’m fine.”Maybe but that still does not stop me from worrying; this man has become such a massive part of my life that I will always worry.“Did you see Alyona?” I ask excitedly,“Yes,” He says wit

I’ve rescued many women while working for Jake Swift. I push any thoughts of Aloyna from my mind; I’m here to do a job and cannot afford to lose concen
