The Swift Security Series

Maddog

Chapter 80

Rubys’s point of view

At 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

    The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 82Maddox’s point of viewI get changed into my full tactical gear, and we run through the necessary checks on each other one last time. Once Jake is satisfied, we can start to make our way around to the front of the building, the closest point where the terrorists stand as they watch over the hostages.It's finally time to make our way to the next point; Swifty, Tank, Bulldog and Bear all volunteered to be by my side on the front line. Of course, my crazy Ass Little Sis wanted to be with us, but she has been through so much lately, and I have enough to worry about keeping Ruby safe. I’m thankful to Adam for convincing her he needed an extra pair of hands with the surveillance van.The time is now 11.45, just fifteen minutes until we hit the building; Jake nods as he whispers, “You Okay, Maddog?” “Yeah, I’m scared for Ruby,” I reply; Jake knows how tough this is from his own experience with his wife.”I take a final look around, watching as th

    The Swift Security SeriesMaddog83Ruby’s point of viewI’m sitting with my back against the wall; between myself and Ian, we somehow managed to get everyone sitting against the wall the way Maddox had asked. I don't think the terrorists have noticed, as it looks as though we are just trying to get comfortable for the night ahead. Iad had managed to find more blankets and pillows as we tried to make everyone as comfortable as possible.After a hushed conversation, we have also decided to keep what we know to ourselves for now, as we don't want the terrorists to become suspicious. There is nothing more left to do as we wait nervously and listen to the seconds on the clock slowly ticking by.Ian turns to look at me as he whispers,“Are you okay, Ruby?”I sign as I reply, “Yeah” although I feel nothing, but I’m worried for Maddox and his team; these people have a lot of weapons and explosives with them.“I just pray that we all get out of here alive,” I say as I turn back to IanIan gra

There is chaos all around us, but I never want him to let go.Jake is standing to the side of us, and he clears his throat before he says,“Ruby? We need to get you checked over, honey, you have a rather nasty bruise on your head, and we have a complete medical team with us here.I nod my head as I reply, “okay…Maddox?”He smiles down at me. “I’m not going anywhere, baby.”He gently takes my hand as we walk over to an area where the medical

I smile as I see them sitting at a table, and Ysabel is eating a cake,“So this is where you two are hiding.”I say as Ian smiles and replies, “Yes, second chocolate cake and one in our pocket for later, isn't that right, Ysabel?”Ysabel looks up at me with a smile on her face as she says, “can I go to your house now, Ruby?”I sigh as I take a seat at the table and whisper, “Not yet, sweetie”, She starts crying. This poor child. I take one of her trembling hands in mine as I look her in the eye and say, “Listen, Ysabel, I need you to be a really big girl for me, I know that I promised to look after you, and I meant that, but Mary here is going to do everything that she can so that you can come home with me. I’m so sorry, Ysabel, but that isn't going to happen tonight.”She looks

I thank her before I turn around and walk wearily to my front door; it's been one hell of a day. I look up to see Maddox sitting on my porch. My heart melts. I’m so grateful for him being here. I really need him just now.He stands up and starts to walk towards me, that cheeky grin on his face as he says, “Hey baby, tough day at the office?”I giggle as I reply, “yeah, you could say that” Before walking up to him, he pulls me into that big hug of his…I already feel better.”He puts his arm around me and steers me towards the front door, “Come on, babes, let's get you to bed. You must be exhausted.”Maddox’s point of view.I take her key from her hand before opening the door and leading her inside, pulli

He catches me looking at him and sends me a wink, not in the least bit fazed by any of this.It makes me so happy that Ysabel looks pretty comfortable with him, and Maddox is equally at ease with her. I look at him as he smiles back at me to think that I once thought of this man as nothing but an arrogant player; how wrong was I? He's amazing.Carmel returns to the room again, looking at me as she says, “Ruby, Maddox Mary is waiting for you in the office; Ysabel could you be a sweetheart and pour me a drink.” She sits down on the blanket as Ysabel passes her one of the plastic cups pretending to pour her tea into it before she takes a pretend sip.

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

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.

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
