Chapter 2

"We are here, ma" the driver announced interrupting the two lovebirds who couldn't take their hands off each other.

"Fuck" Jake cursed releasing Leila who took deep breaths to ease her breathing.

"This got to be the fastest journey we made back home" Jake remarked and they both started laughing.

Amidst the laughter Jake leaned towards Leila and started plastering kisses all over her face.

"Let's stay five more minutes umm?" he asked.

"No, let's go in" Leila replied still laughing.

"Okay" he agreed and then they got out of the car, the rain had stopped completely leaving a chilly atmosphere behind.

They walked to the front door holding hands, "hope you have your keys with you or did you leave it in the office?" Jake asked jokingly when they reached the front door.

"Of course I have it !" she opened her bag and started looking for the key.

"Are you sure you have it?, I bet you forgot it at the office"

"Gotcha!" she exclaimed dangling the key at Jake who smiled.

Leila reached for the lock, inserted the key into it and opened it, she then stepped into the house with Jake behind her.

"Babe, this house looks different, did you..."

Jake trailed off while walking towards the bedroom, Leila had gasped staring at her pet cat's bed that was beside the door.

"what's wrong?" he asked walking to where she was standing.

"This wasn't here when I left this morning" Leila muttered, her eyes fixed on the bed.

"You mean Molly's bed?"

"Yes, I think someone broke into the house" she whispered, her eyes nervously scanning the room to look for any sign of the intruder or maybe other signs he left.

"No one broke into the house, Leila, you must have left the bed here and forgot about it" Jake commented after scanning the room and not noticing everything.

"But Molly's bed wasn't ......"

"You left it here and forgot that you did, no one entered here so don't worry" he assured hugging her from behind.

"Now that you mentioned it, I remembered that I was rushing to work this morning, Must

have left it like here you said" she agreed.

"Good, now go to the bedroom, I will fix dinner for you"

"Thanks babe" Leila pecked him on the cheeks and started walking towards the bedroom.

Arriving there, she threw her bag away and flopped on the bed sighing as the soft mattress came in contact with her skin, "what a day" she whispered.

Her phone then started ringing so she got up from the bed and trudged to where the bag was lying on the floor.

She picked the bag up and pried it open, taking out the phone she stared at the caller ID.

"Ivy, are you home" Leila asked after she pressed the answer button.

"Yes ma, how about you?" Ivy asked.

"Same, I am just waiting for Jake to prepare a delicious meal for me"

"Oh that's great, make sure you take your vitamins before sleeping and tell Sir Jake not to tire you" Ivy said.

"What do you mean..." she trailed off when the phone beeped indicating that he call has ended.

"I am going to kill that girl tomorrow" Leila muttered and and went back to the bed.

She kept the phone on the small table beside the bed and laid down back, she just wanted to take a quick nap while waiting for Jake but she ended up falling asleep.

"Babe, food is ready" Jake announced entering the bedroom.

When he saw that she has fallen asleep, a warm smile crept unto his face as he walked towards the bed.

He adjusted the quilt over her, leaned down and kissed her on the forehead.

"Sleep tight, babe" he whispered before walking out of the room.

"We are home, home !!!"

"Home, here we come !!!"

"Home home home!!"

Reid gazed out of the window staring at the flush green vegetation, which seemed to be racing with their bus. The wind blowing them in all directions without mercy.

It has been two years since he left America with his team members for a highly classified mission, a mission that was a massive success.

"It feels good to be home, doesn't" Luke, who was sitting beside Reid asked.

"Yes it is" he agreed tearing his gaze off the window.

"Everyone is so happy especially Robert" Luke remarked referring to their team leader who was started at the front seat and singing at the top of his voice. He didn't even care that no one was joining him in the singing.

"It wasn't an easy mission Luke, everyone is supposed to be happy' Reid said.

"Yeah it isn't" Luke agreed.

Reid is a member of SSAOA (SECRET SPECIAL ARMY OFFICERS OF AMERICA), an subsection of the army which helps to eradicate terrorists and high threats against the country.

They consist of young men who are specially skilled and trained to fight, defend and protect the country till they take their last breath.

They are one of America secret weapon that all the nations of the world are afraid of.

Reid and some of the members of SSAOA were just returning from a mission in Iran, they were to help them fight off a deadly terrorist group that was terrorizing the country.

And they went and did just that and not only that, they also captured the leader of the group that has been wanted for years.

Now they are back for a one month vacation to relieve the stress of the fighting.

"We are here !!!" someone yelled .

Reid looked out of the window again, it was true they have arrived at the organization headquarters office at Washington DC.

"Everyone out !" their team leader yelled when the bus parked at the parking lot.

They started coming out of the bus till the bus was now empty, they watched as it drove away from there heading back to the airport.

"Let's go, guys" Robert said.

They all carried their bag and started walking towards the building entrance.

"Welcome Sirs", the two soldiers at the entrance saluted them.

"Thank you" they all acknowledged and walked through the door.

"Good morning Sirs, welcome Sirs" were the series of greetings they received when they entered the building.

"Attention !!" a loud voice boomed making everyone to stop keep quiet.

Then a man who seemed to be in his late forties started walking towards the team, his face expressionless and taunt.

"Good morning sir" Reid and his team member chorused when the man came closer to them.

"Ahem, welcome soldiers and congratulation for a successful mission. So far the best since this organization was created. Good job everyone, now go and wait in my office" the man said.

"Yes Sir" they chorused and walked to the man's office.

They reached there and they all stood In the office waiting for the man, ten minutes later the man joined them.

He sat down on his desk looking at them, "welcome once again guys" he began.

"How is the mission?"

"Hard sir, but it was not a match for SSOAO" Robert, the team leader replied.

"Good and we didn't loose any member, you guys are amazing. Now guys a slice off reward for you is here" the man patting a big box that was on top of his desk.

"And believe me, I have never seen any like this in all my time in office" he added.

"What could be in the box?" the soldiers wondered in their thoughts.

"Colonel, hope it is not another mission" Robert asked meekly trying not to get him angry.

"No, it is not" the colonel replied.

Without wasting their time he brought the box closer to him and opened it, what was in the box was envelopes, lots of them.

"I knew that this was what will be in there" Luke commented.

"Are these letters?" Reid asked because the envelopes the colonel was holding just looked like it contains letter.

"Yes" he sighed.

"Of course it would be letters obviously from the The President" Reid replied.

"You really think so?. I think it is letters from our loved ones"

"It is letters from The President" he insisted.

"Now, come and take yours when I call your name" the colonel said.

He then began calling their names one by one till all the envelopes were gone.

" No way, a vacation trip to Mexico !" one of the soldiers exclaimed staring at the letter that was inside the envelope.

Everyone rushed to open their and they all ended up seeing the same thing, a vacation trip to a country.

"Which place did you get?" they asked among themselves.

"This is a good reward" Reid remarked, his eyes fixed on his letter.

He has been posted to Hawaii for the vacation trip and it and it was one of his "to visit island".

"Now everyone go and report to captain Sherry" the colonel ordered.

"Yes Sir !" they replied.

They all began moving after the office one after the other, Reid was at the back waiting for everyone to leave so that he would.

When everyone has left he wanted to walk to the door only to be stopped " stay back, Donovan" the colonel said stopping him in his tracks.

The colonel got up from his desk and walked to where Reid was standing, "good job, Donovan. I received a report about your huge contribution to the success of the mission" he said patting him on the shoulder.

"Go freshen up boy, you have a meeting with The President of America. You can go now"
