To retrieve him

"Hey Tina what's up? I thought you were suppose to be at the briefing"? " I was but they sent me here to pick you up Delilah made a request to bring you along on the mission, after hearing about the events this morning we all agreed". I sigh but then give her a look of suspicion "why didn't she come and get me herself"? "Because she is being given the details of here mission as we speak". "Yeah I'm not buying that." She lets out a sigh of annoyance pulls something out of her pocket he tenses up slightly, "relax it's just a cellphone." She presses a few buttons on her phones screen and holds it to her ear. "hey it's me he doesn't seem to trust me." She hands me the phone "it's Delilah." He grabs the phone from her hand, "hello?" "Antonio it's me go with Tina I promise she won't hurt you ok?" Her tone is gentle but authoritative, "ok I'll go with her". "Good I'll see you soon." He hands Tina the phone, she looks me up and down "you might want to change it's cold outside." "Ok just give me a minute." he walks into the closet and changes into a pair of jeans and a black long sleeve shirt, "ok lets go." They walk out to the garage she has something that looks like a Honda Civic without the wheels of course. They get inside her car and buckle up she presses the remote and the walls disappears we are on our way.

About five minutes pass without a word being said between them. He's staring out into the star covered sky, it looks so peaceful out there he thinks. She breaks the silence "how are you liking it here so far?" He reflects on everything that has happened so far. "Well it's a little different from what I'm used to....actually a lot different from what I'm used to." "True but you seem to be a pretty adaptable person", he looks over to her and see a smile on her face. "Delilah is really happy that you're here, she would always talk about you." How big you were getting, how smart you were." Her smile fades "she also told me about the **** you were going through, she wanted to take you away from it all but she didn't want to put you in even more danger by bringing you here." His thoughts go back to when he was in the foster system. He never really liked to think about it too many painful memories. He puts on a smile "it's ok what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger right?" She seems slightly put off by his upbeat attitude but shrugs. "I guess that's one way to look at it." "So why did she request me for this mission anyways?" he ask. "Probably to keep an eye on you, she's very protective of those she cares about."

The vehicle comes to a stop, "here we are Fasdol Defense Headquarters or F.D.H for short c'mon they're waiting for us." He wonders who she means by they? They get out of the car and head for the huge glass door upon entering he notices the smell of cinnamon in the air. "Antonio this way." He follows behind Tina her heels clicking on the tile floor. "So why do you guys need me to come along"? She looks back at him, "we thought it would be a good way to break you in." His body starts to stiffen, "break me into what"? "The Fasdol special task forces." "Tamers are a rare commodity nowadays their abilities alone means the difference between victory and defeat." They stop at a pair of oak doors. "You ready?" His heart is beating a mile per minute he swallows hard "yes." She opens the door he sees a medium sized group of people sitting around a table staring at a holographic image of what looks to be some kind of base. A large man stands up and approaches him, he stops in front of Antonio giving him an appraising look. The man is massive he looks like a bodybuilder his hair is short and red and he has dark green eyes. " you must be Antonio I'm captain William Rider but just call me Will for short take a seat we were about to wrap up but I'll quickly go over what we talked about."

He takes a seat next to Delilah she gives him a warm smile, he turns his attention to William. "Ok so here's the skinny we at O five hundred lost communications with our most northern outpost this has happened in the past and it's usually do to weather it usually takes about an hour or two to reestablish contact but so far that hasn't been the case". "That can mean one of two things one their just stuck in a really bad storm or they've been attacked, that seems unlikely though seeing as we are still picking up on their vitals." "So the mission is simple go to the outpost and see what happened you will be carrying equipment for repairs in case their communications equipment has been damaged beyond their capabilities to fix it." "If the base has been taken by the enemy it will be decided by your commander if your forces are sufficient to retake it." "reinforcements will be available for this mission so don't take chances if you need help call for it." "Any questions?" The room is silent "good the mission will take place at twelve hundred hours tomorrow make sure to rest up, you're dismissed". Delilah looks at him "excited?" he gives her a worried look "not really." Is his reply. She giggles "don't worry you'll be fine plus." she grabs his hand "I'll be right beside your side so you have nothing to fear". H feels a pair of slender arms wrap around his waist and pull me into a massive pair of breast. He looks up to see Amanda staring down at him "so cute little Antonio is gonna join our group huh"? Delilah shoots Amanda an intense glare "Amanda let Antonio go." "Hey I don't see your name plastered on him anywhere." The two women just glare at each other. He breaks from Amanda's grip "hey what about my feelings?" They both glare at him "you have no say in this matter!" They both say this in harmony. "Ugh you two are impossible." He says this with a sigh. That's when he feels a large hand on his shoulder he turn around to see a man that's about two inches taller than him, his skin is red and the iris of his eyes are silver. He has a pair of small horns on his head and short black hair. "Man new guy has been here for ten minutes and girls are already fighting over him." This brings laughter from everyone but Delilah and Amanda who are now facing away from each other faces red from embarrassment. His body is starting to squirm from all the unwanted attention. "Aww what's wrong Antonio don't like all this attention?" A feminine voice call out from the group their laughter grows.

The playful banter continues for five more minutes William saves Antonio from his tormentors. "Alright guys lets give the new guy a break it's getting late and mission prep begins at O nine hundred tomorrow." The room clears out Delilah grabs his hand "ready to go home?" He gives her a smile than "haaaah." He yawns. "yeah I'm getting tired". The walk out of the room and head back to where the cars are parked. "So what was up with you and Amanda?" Her face begins to blush "that bitch was all over you." He smiles. "Delilah are you jealous?" Her blush deepens "n-no why should I be?" Her tone is getting agitated this causes his smile to broaden he grabs her and press her against a wall he smashes his lips into hers sliding his tongue into her mouth she moans into the kiss their tongues begin to massage each other gently. The kiss last for about two minutes he breaks the kiss with a loud pop, "Delilah you're the only girl for me ok?" Her face is now as red as a tomato "ok." She whispers out. They make it back to her car he falls into the seat and sleep quickly overwhelms him.
