We grew up in an orphanage under the watchful eyes of the head mistress Rachel. We faced everything life could throw at us together. We left for the navy after graduating high school. Navy seal training was brutal but not as bad as this. We're stuck in the middle of South America in a rainforest south of Brazil. We were sent on a mission to take out a world famous drug lord named Stephan Delgado that no government could touch by law. This drug lord apparently has a mansion somewhere in the jungle. Most of our team have been killed on this mission or so everyone else besides certain members of our team thought. All that's left is my long-time friend Sheryl and I. Our team was ambushed at a warehouse in the middle of nowhere that was supposed to be the lab where these no good thugs were developing a deadly mix between cocaine, meth and heroin. Our team already took out three labs a few days before the ambush. I can't even count on both my hands how many times Sheryl and i saved each other's lives in the past three weeks. Our radio was destroyed in the ambush at the warehouse, so we had no communication with our people back home. It's dark, quiet and misty in this jungle; the sun was just starting to rise over the eastern mountains. We can't have any light and we can't cook what we catch so we wouldn't draw attention to our location. We have been living on raw fish and edible fruits from the jungle. Sheryl and I have been on our own for two weeks now. We built a camouflaged tree house in the highest tree in the jungle out of harm's way. We could see everything in a seven hundred meter radius. We used equipment to survive we gathered weeks before when we all raided the other labs. As I was patrolling around our area looking for food I heard voices and ducked for cover before anyone could see or hear me. Sheryl was watching my back through a lens of a sniper rifle from the tree house. Two guys passed me. I watched them in silence, and then suddenly my foot slipped from under me in the mud. They stopped and turned in my direction weapons ready. One of them suddenly fell dead on the ground. Sheryl took him out. The other one turned to his partner. I stood up silently, snuck up behind him as he reached for his walkie talkie and broke his neck in one swift move. I grabbed their weapons and bags, hid their bodies in the bushes then headed toward the tree house. "That was way too close for comfort." I said over my headset. "I know Joe, don't worry. You know i always got your back." She answered back. "I know you do; I just can't imagine my life without you Sheryl." I said. "And I can't imagine mine without you Joe. That is exactly why you and i make such a good team." She said letting out a sigh. "Why the sigh, Sheryl?" I asked her. "Oh, nothing I was just thinking about something, nothing important really." A few months ago I realised that Sheryl was checking me out. It actually occurred to me that she might feel something for me. Every time she looked at me I could see something else in her eyes, a kind of needy and lustful look. The trouble was that I was doing exactly the same. It was against military rules to have a relationship with another member. We could be thrown out of the military if caught. This was our last mission then our four year service contract would be completed. After that we could do whatever we liked. When I got back at the tree house we checked inside the bags and found tinned food, spare ammo cartridges and a map of the jungle with the location of one last lab and the mansions blueprints. This was defiantly our lucky break we were waiting for but it doesn't feel right. I looked at Sheryl suddenly noticing how beautiful she really is, her eyes and her lips. I could feel my eyes traveling down her neck and shoulders down to her breasts. I was admiring every inch of her body. "What are the odds of us finding these, Joe?" Sheryl asked with a smile as she caught me staring at her body. "I don't know Sheryl, but this seems way too easy for me. Either those two men were prone to get lost or this is a trap." I said in disbelief over our findings. I was undressing Sheryl with my eyes and she caught me doing it. I suddenly blushed, my ears feeling very warm. "Oh Joe, this is the break we needed to catch these guys and end this drug parade. Then we can go home. What's wrong Joe you look like you are burning up or something?" Sheryl said watching me. "Oh nothing I just felt a little feverish all of a sudden ... okay, let's just pack out the rest of the stuff in these bags and see what else we can find." I answered her knowing that she knew i was lying. I couldn't look her in the eye when i lied about anything. She caught me out every time. "Okay, if you say so Joe." She said digging in one of the bags. Sheryl held up two id tags in her hand. "Apparently those two goons were builders for Stephan. It looks like these tags were used to get in to his grounds. See the barcodes Joe?" "Yes I see Sheryl. So they get scanned in, I wonder what they need all the security for? What else are they hiding in there?" I said grabbing the map of the mansion grounds. "I sure would like to find out Joe?" Sheryl said as she yawned stretching her arms into the air exposing the form of her chest and breasts. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, something about her just lured me in deeper into an abyss I could not get out of. Sheryl just smiled at me lowering her arms. "I think we need some coffee, don't you?" I said as I got up taking our tin cups in my hand. I heated some water in a tin camping kettle on a one plate mini gas stove connected to a nine litre gas bottle. It is quite amazing what you can find in a lab. As I prepared our cups with coffee and sugar, I could feel Sheryl standing behind me. I turned around with my eyes connecting with her beautiful clear light blue eyes. We were standing face to face. I could see a sparkle in her eyes I have never seen before. I could smell her every scent come from her. She smelled like jasmine; the perfume she loves so much. "Joe, I want to do something that I wanted to do a long time ago." Sheryl said looking into my green-brown eyes with a sly little smile on her face. "I ... what ... Sheryl ..." I stood there stunned as she pressed her lips to mine silencing me. I sank deeper into this new sensation as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist wanting more of her. Her lips tasted so sweet, so perfect. We broke our kiss looking deep into each other's eyes. "Wow ... you ... I ... never expected that." I said still stunned. "That was better than I thought it would be. You should see the look on your face Joe; I wish I had a camera." Sheryl said grabbing my ass with both her hands. I jumped in surprise then we both fell to the floor. I landed on top of her cushioning her head with my one hand and my other hand landed on her breast by mistake. We spent about a split second looking into each other's eyes which felt like an eternity. I leaned in and kissed her. She tasted so sweet. Sheryl wrapped her legs around my body pinning me closer into her. I could feel her nipple growing firmer under my hand. She started unbuttoning my shirt Revealing what she wanted to feel under her soft hands. Sheryl moved her hands slowly and softly over my body down to my belt. As she started to undo the buckle I stopped her. "You really surprise me, you know that Sheryl?" I said smiling. "Oh Joe, I need you so badly. I was just starting to have fun." Sheryl said with a mischievous smile. I looked at my hand on her breast, removed it and brazed myself over her with both my hands. "Sorry Sheryl ... we ... can't ... I ... think we should get back to work." I said as i got up to my knees. Sheryl grabbed my hands pulling herself up to her feet. Still on my knees I looked up at her with her hands in mine. I felt like proposing to her, this felt so right. "Don't be sorry Joe, I know we can't. My feelings for you have grown so much. I couldn't hide it anymore." Sheryl still smiling pulled me up to my feet. She stood in front of me fastening my buttons again while looking deeply into my eyes. "You were always the gutsy one between us Sheryl." I said looking into her eyes, getting lost in her blue eyes. "Yeah I've got the beauty and guts; you got the brains and strength." Sheryl said walking past me pouring water in our cups. Passing me a cup we sat down looking at the map of the mansion and that of the last lab. We spent the rest of our afternoon planning an assault on the lab and mansion, constantly steeling glances at each other. I was the demolition expert And Sheryl was the snipping expert. We both were crack shots with any weapon. During our two week stay in this jungle we collected quite an arsenal taking out Stephan's goons. I started thinking to myself about what was going on between us. What was this? Were we just acting on our 'lonely, horny and lost in a jungle?' Impulses or were we actually falling in love with each other? Were we going to? Break the navy rules and start having a relationship; a lesbian relationship. Our plans were set; we would go in tomorrow night late check things out and make our plans from there. Right now we needed to get as much rest in as we could. We decided to go to the nearby waterfall to have a swim and cool down as we usually Did and catch our dinner for the night. At the waterfall I got undressed as I always did. This time it felt different because I could feel Sheryl's eyes undressing me. I caught her checking me out as I got into the water. She started undressing herself in a flirty strip tease manner watching me intently. My eyes followed her hands every move. Sheryl got in the water and walked straight toward me, her body sinking deeper into the water with every step. The water kissed her nipples making them rise in excitement. Just the visual of her aroused me. I could feel my heart skip beats and my pulses race. I never felt like this before. It felt like i was high on something, maybe love. She wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her. Our tongues seemed to dance to a song we could not hear. My hands felt every inch of her body. I swam with her in my arms behind the waterfall into a cave. I spotted a flat rock and laid her down gently onto her back. Laying on my side next to her with my one leg draped over her i ran my hand slowly down her body. Sheryl arched her back slightly tilting her head back, her breathing heavy and her heart speeding equal to mine. She put both her hands on my breasts gently kneading them. I could smell her Arousal and she could smell mine. I leaned in to kiss her. Our lips locked as we both yearned for more of each other. She rocked her hips matching my rhythm, her mound rubbing against my leg and mine rubbing against her leg. I could feel her hands sliding around my chest and her nails digging in my back. We followed a slow rhythm gradually picking up speed; our sighing was being drowned out by the waterfall. I moved my body so my mound would rub against hers, making the tingling inside of us even stronger. I could feel her and my orgasm growing like a bomb ready to blow. Sheryl sank her nails even deeper in my back. Our orgasms grew even stronger and closer to exploding. We locked lips just as both of us exploded in ecstasy together. Sheryl screamed into my mouth as we started over again. Several orgasms and hours later we returned to the tree house with our raw dinner. We decided to cook our dinner, because we both knew that this could be our last meal we were ever going to share. We ate our dinner in silence keeping in mind what was to come the following night. After dinner we cleaned our dishes and relaxed a bit on our sleeping bags. I watched Sheryl as she fell asleep. She looked so innocent and perfect in her slumber. I couldn't sleep so i got up and sat outside on our little deck under the moonlight. The moonlight lit up the whole forest around us. I could feel the light breeze kissing my skin. Everything seemed so peaceful and quiet. How were two navy seal women going to take out a whole army of weaponed drug enhanced goons protecting their lord Stephan? We needed to get our hands on a radio and get some help in with this. We needed to get this done and reach the rest of my team. "What's wrong Joe?" Sheryl asked hugging me from behind. "Oh, I'm just thinking of what the two of us could do against a whole army. I thought that you were sleeping?" I said with a sigh. Sheryl turned me around so i would face her. She looked at me with those soul searching eyes of hers. "We came this far without anyone's help Joe, you and i against the world as always. I truly believe that the two of us can get this job done. I am worried too, but I'm not going to let fear get me down. By the way i could never sleep if you weren't by my side." Sheryl spoke such wise and true words. She always knew how to cheer me up. We were always in trouble when we were together, which was most of the time. 'I remember the first day we met at the orphanage. We arrived on the same day, both of us with the same abusive history. Dinner time at the orphanage was war. We literally had to fight for food. We had a bully that took food from the weaker Of us, he was bullying Sheryl for her food. This guy was twice our weight, little taller than Sheryl but shorter than me. I walked up to them and asked her to hold my food. As she did i drew one fist back and knocked the bully out cold. I had enough food with me for two, so i sat next to her.' Since then we became best friends and shared dinner every night. We always got in trouble by Rachel because Sheryl always crept into my bed at night. She eventually gave Sheryl and me our own room. 'The next day the bully cornered me with two of his friends while Sheryl was with Rachel of the house. I took out the friends but when i reached the Bully i had no energy left to fight. Sheryl came around the corner and saw what was going on. She suddenly had a hellish look in her eyes. She grabbed the bully By his shoulder turning him around and kicked him in the groin. The bully never Bugged either of us again because we were always together, whether we were asleep Or awake. She never did tell me why Rachel wanted to see her.' "You are wright Sheryl as always. Do you still remember the day we met?" I asked her. "Yes i do remember i will never forget that day. It's the first day anyone ever stood up for me. Why do you ask?" "I just want you to remember that i will always be there for you Sheryl." I said As i cupped her chin in my hand and kissed her. "I know that Joe. Can you remember the day after that?" Sheryl asked me. "Sure i can, it's the day that David kicked goliaths butt." I said with a smirk on my face. "It's also the day Rachel offered me a home, which i turned down because of you." Sheryl looked at me with a tear in her eye. "Oh babe, you what ... Why because of me?" I asked with a serious face sitting down on my sleeping bag. "I wouldn't go without you Joe." Sheryl sat next to me and put her hand on my right leg. "So you passed up having a better life because you didn't want to leave me behind?" I asked putting my arm around her. ********************* Sheryl and i both came out of abusive families. My drunken grandfather and uncle used to rape me after they took me in. My parents died in a car crash, so i had no-one to fend for me. Sheryl's own father raped her in front of her drunken mother then beat her mother to a pulp. The welfare saved us both at the age of five. There was a man working under Rachel at the orphanage. He was the child psychologist. There was a story going around amongst the children that he was taking advantage of them; boys and girls. Rachel knew that something was going on but she could never prove it. All the children were too scared to talk about what he did to them. She needed proof to get rid of him so i offered to help after Sheryl told me that he raped her. What Sheryl told me just made my blood boil even more. She was just sixteen years old at the time and i was eighteen. What he did was schedule an interview with the children for the next day; giving himself a chance to read up on their history in their files. The next day during the interview he would use that against them. He would turn their stories around and tell them that he would tell the police what they did if they didn't do what he wanted them to do. Rachel got a small camera from the police and installed it in my cap. Rachel convinced him that he had to interview me because i was getting violent. He scheduled an interview with me for the next day. I was always the tough cookie everyone could count on. I left my and Sheryl's room heading for his office. He and i talked a bit about my temper. Then he sat next to me telling me that i should do what he said. I put the cap on the table next to me as i sat on the couch. I let him undo my pants and take off my shirt and let him touch me until i thought that it was enough. I kicked him in the groin and punched him in the face causing him to fly through his office door unconscious. I put on my clothes and went to Rachel's office and gave her the camera. The police were already in her office waiting for him. The police knew of everything and agreed with our plan the day before. After that all the children he hurt spilled the beans. He was arrested for twenty counts of rape. Chapter two I sat there holding Sheryl as she started to fall asleep in my arms. We were suddenly interrupted by a noise coming up the tree house. We both grabbed our silenced nine millimetres and waited. It was dark and silent. A silhouette came into light and just before either of us could pull the trigger it spoke. "Sheryl, Joe, don't shoot? It's me...jacks." "Jacks?" Sheryl asked amazed. "We thought all of you died in the ambush?" I asked as Sheryl and i helped him inside. "I almost did, if it weren't for the two of you taking out the doosh standing over me." He said breathless. "Wait a minute. Jacks, how did you find us?" Sheryl asked with a note of doubt in her voice. "Easy, i followed you from the waterfall. I got there and hid in the bushes just as you two left. I wasn't sure at first that it was you so i waited a while till i could see you more clearly." Jacks said with what looked like fear in his eyes, nervously looking around. I watched him carefully. I didn't trust him anymore. He had a few scratches and Bruises but he had no injuries on him. Nothing was broken. He looked to ...clean. Sheryl gave him something to eat and drink. She sat down next to me watching him as i did. "So what happened to you after that jacks?" I asked as Sheryl looked at me. She had the same scepticism in her eyes as i had. "I was captured and held captive in the mansion. They tortured me for days nonstop. I escaped four days ago after i heard them say that their men kept disappearing. So i figured someone of the team was still alive." He said wiping the remnants of food off his face. Well four days would be enough time four any wounds and bruises to clear up, but his story still didn't make any sense. He sat in the one corner falling asleep. Sheryl and i stepped outside taking our sniper rifles with us, keeping watch. "I don't trust him anymore Joe." Sheryl whispered in my ear. "I don't either Sheryl, but we could use it to our advantage. If he is a traitor to his own country we could use it against him. I got a plan." I whispered watching him from the door. All for Love We spent a few hours whispering our plans to each other, making sure that he didn't hear us. We went back inside to catch a few hours' sleep. I laid there holding Sheryl tightly in my arms keeping an eye on jacks. As i suspected jacks stood up when he thought that we were asleep. He picked up one of the radios we left out in the open where he could see it. Before he reported To Stephan himself that he found our location, Sheryl and i stuck our nine mills to his head and took the radio from him. "I knew it was too good to be true jacks. Neither of us remembers ever saving your life like you said we did. As we remember it you disappeared just before the ambush." I said as Sheryl tied him up naked and gaged him, making sure that he had no chance of escaping. "You see jacks; the base found out that Stephan is your cousin, so we all used you to get to him. The team is alive and well scoping out the mansion right now. It was all for show to catch you in the act." Sheryl said as i packed up all our gear in our backpacks. "We knew you would find a way to go to the mansion and we also knew that you would follow the survivors. We spotted you quite a few times. You got sloppy jacks and now you are done. What do you think your cousin would do to you if he finds you in an empty tree house or the military police gets their hands on you?" I asked him. We were given instructions to interrogate jacks to get information from him. We interrogated him till the early morning hours. We got all the information we needed. He told Stephan of all our plans and strategies. At least that what we wanted jacks to know. Jacks looked down in despair and closed his eyes. Before Sheryl and i left i put a cheap pistol on the floor with one bullet in it and released his hands. "Use it wisely jacks." I said to him as we left him alone to his thoughts. We left the tree house leaving him nothing not even his clothes or dog tags. He didn't deserve to wear them. A few meters away from the area we heard the gunshot go off then a loud thud from his lifeless body crashing to the ground below the tree house. We met up with the rest of the team outside the mansion. "Did it work Sergeant Joe?" Private Brian asked me. "Yes it did work Brian and please don't call me sergeant. Now let's get back to work. What has been going on here at the mansion?" I asked as Sheryl and i crouched down next to them. The men filled us in with all that was happening in and around the mansion. The Third lab was just another trap. The main lab was built underneath the mansion. They were also building war heads in the lab. They were going to rage a war against the world and take over buy selling drugs to the people. We had to stop them. We waited till dark before we made our move. Sheryl and i took our rifles and left the men to do their jobs. We found the highest grounds we could and set up our snipers and night vision scopes watching our team's backs. They were setting c4 charges all around the mansion and infiltrated the mansion, to make sure there were no civilians inside. Sheryl and i took out the guards patrolling the grounds one by one and blew out the engines of the vehicles on the grounds. The men came out with a few doctors that were kidnapped months ago. I looked through my scope and saw Stephan leaving the mansion with a semi-automatic weapon in his hands. "Sheryl do you see him?" I asked her. "Yes i do Joe, on one?" She asked me. "Let's waste this bully, on one." i said. We both counted together. "One." We pulled our triggers at the same time and watched Stephan fly backwards into a wall next to the front door of the mansion. When the men and doctors were at a safe distance Brian blew the charges. All the goons were dead and buried under rubble. Sheryl and i met up with the men and doctors. We watched the mansion blow up and burn down in bright orange and blue-green flames. With smoke providing us with cover we made our escape to the extraction point where we set up camp waiting for the helicopter. The men were discussing something when Sheryl and i appeared from our tent. They fell suddenly very quiet. I had a feeling that this mission was not over. This was way too easy for me. "So what were you guys talking about?" Sheryl asked them. The men looked at each other than at us. The doctors were catching up on some much needed sleep they lost during their long months of slavery under Stephan's rule. Brian spoke first: "We were talking about what's going on between you and the sergeant." He said looking at Sheryl then at me. "Oh, and what do you think is going on between us Brian?" i asked him with a sly smile growing on my face. John spoke next: "we know that you and Sheryl have something going on Sarge. We have decided between us that we aren't going to say anything about it. We can see that you make each other happy and that you're love for each other won't come between our jobs or put our lives in danger." "So how did you men figure it out?" Sheryl asked pretending to be confused. "We figured it out when you arrived at the mansion by the way you were looking at each other." Maxwell answered. "It's okay Sheryl; this team is like a family. We've known each other for five years. I think we can stop the charade now." I said to Sheryl. Sheryl and i looked at each other than i held her hand, my way of reassuring her That everything will be okay. "Thank you very much guys, we appreciate what you are doing for us." Sheryl said with a sigh of relief. Maxwell started a fire and we all sat there just enjoying each other's company. We were all joking about the job we just finished and of Stephan flying when we shot him. It was the first time ever that happened. The guys were sitting each on their own little stump; i was sitting on a blanket and Sheryl sat between my legs pulling my arms tightly around her. It was already early in the morning but still darkness surrounded us. Sheryl and i stood up to take a walk. We took a short stroll away from prying eyes. I saw a broken down tree, the broken stump laid flat on the ground. I sat on it with one leg on each side. Sheryl stood next to me curling my hair in her Fingers then she sat over my lap facing me curling her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. We sat like that for a few minutes just talking about our past years at the orphanage and what our future might be like. The next moment our radio technician Georgy reported an urgent call to me. It was from the base. I took the call in private. When i returned everyone had a serious Look on their faces ready for action. "Our jobs not done yet guys, Stephan has a brother who calls himself el' Diablo threatening to send warheads flying to every major city in our country. The base Already sent a copter to pick up the doctors and it's bringing more ammunition and supplies for us. We have to stay behind and take him out." "Yes sergeant!" Everyone said at once. While we packed up our stuff the doctors waited aside in anticipation to get home to their families. After we packed everything the copter arrived. We grabbed our new gear stashed our camping gear under a cameo net in the bushes and left for our mission. The copter pilot gave us a satellite printout of the jungle where our next destination is, it wasn't too far from the mansion we blew up. We stopped at the river and checked the map for the quickest route to take. "I guess the quickest route to take is downstream, hundred and sixty kilometres down then up at the bend. We stay hidden between the trees to avoid being seen. If we find any goons on the way, we take them out." I pointed on the map explaining our strategy. It was a long tiresome walk dodging snakes and dangerous creatures. About half way we stopped to take a short rest before continuing on our journey to a battle we knew we would win. Watching my team i couldn't help to think about anyone of us not making it out of here alive. They all looked worried but tried to look strong. This was the longest mission we have ever been on. We are on our fourth week in this jungle. We all miss our families and friends. Of course Sheryl and i don't have any other family but each Other, at least we have made friends which are like family to us. This team is our family and we will all come out this mission alive. Everyone was sitting, drinking water and having a snack. I was standing on my own when Sheryl stood next to me taking my hand in her own, her hand felt as soft as silk and so perfect in my own. We were suited for each other. To this day i still think that it was our destiny to find each other all those years back. "What are you thinking about again Joe?" Sheryl asked with a worried look on her picture perfect beautiful face. "Oh, i was just thinking about what you and i...all of us have faced together in the last four years of service to our country. We made it this far with only losing one member in the last two days, who turned out to be a traitor? I want out of this lifestyle, i can't do this anymore. This is our last year of service. I want to know if you would come with me when we finish our contracts." I asked Sheryl. "Baby keeping in mind all that we have faced together so far, there is no way i will let you leave and face the rest of your life alone and i don't think i would ever be able to face the rest of my life without having you by my side." Sheryl said kissing me on the lips in front of the team. "Ooh!" The whole team exclaimed in laughter. "Oh guys, stop it. Is it the first time you have seen two women kiss?" I said with my face turning crimson. "In our line of work, yes it was Joe." Maxwell said. "Will it be possible for us to see more Joe?" John and Brian asked at the same time laughing. "No way guys, not even when hell freezes over." Sheryl said as we all broke out laughing. "It's almost noon so we need to keep moving guys." I said picking up my backpack still blushing. We continued on our journey. After hours more of walking we reached a warehouse with electric fence around it and guards all over the place. There were a few smaller buildings scattered around that looked like sleeping facilities and storages for weapons and ammo. There was a lookout tower tucked away in each corner of the grounds with snipers inside keeping watch. It was dark already so we had good cover. "Right guys let's do this. We need to take out the snipers in the towers and the small facilities. We can blow the facilities to create a diversion then take out their vehicles. Sheryl and i will take out the two snipers at the back. John and Brian you take out the snipers in front to clear a path, after that you cover Maxwell and Georgy. Maxwell and Georgy you place c4 charges on the smaller Buildings and blow them. We will all meet up at the warehouse. Then we go in from there. Any questions?" "No questions serge." Brian answered as he was second in command. We were all in uniform with our weapons ready and had our head gear with our communication devices at our ears. "Keep the comm's open. Let's go." I gave the order. Everyone split to their destinations. Sheryl and i found higher ground to get a clear view of the towers at the back. "Sergeant we got the two snipers at the front in sight." Brian said over the comm. "Good work Brian. Same here. We take them out at the same time. On one. One!" All four snipers fell to the floor. "I have the main terminal for the fence in my sight. I will take it out." Sheryl said as she shot at the box turning off the electricity to the fence. "Good work guys. Let's get in there." I said. Chapter three We all moved in, making sure we were not seen. Machine guns ready we took out everyone in our path. The smaller buildings blew up; men came running out the buildings on fire screaming of pain. Next all the vehicles burst into flames. The weapon storage caused the biggest blow; which brought more men out of the warehouse. We took them out and met at the front of the warehouse. "Okay guys we need to disable the warheads before they go flying. So disable them, Take out the cores and stash them somewhere safe because we are going to blow this Joint when we are done." I said while peeking into a low open window. There were a few men standing weapons ready at a flight of stairs leading down to what might be a basement. There were open crates standing around that looked like they could have been used to transport the warheads. We burst through the doors took out the men before they could fire off one shot. Then we moved down the stairs slowly and quietly taking cover behind some more crates. El Diablo was in a booth on our left facing the warheads he was getting ready to launch. The roof above us was opening creating a path for the warheads. There was a door to the booth on our side. "Right guys, this is it. Sheryl and i will take out el Diablo and his two goons in the booth after that the four of you disable the warheads as fast as you can. Ready?" I said. "We're ready serge." All of them said together. Sheryl and i burst through the door of the booth and took out the two goons. "Freeze el Diablo, you move a muscle we will shoot you." I shouted while my men stormed the warheads disabling each one of them. The men left the warehouse with the cores in their possession. Sheryl walked in Front while i walked behind with el Diablo in the middle. As we reached the doors Upstairs el Diablo kicked me and shoved Sheryl out of the way grabbing her gun trying to escape. "Sheryl is you okay?" I asked her. "Yes I'm okay." She answered standing up. "Good, i will go after him. You go report to Brian." I said as i left. He ran toward the river with me hot on his heels. Sheryl went to report to Brian on what just happened. I ran as fast as i could to catch him. He stopped at the river by the waterfall and turned around pointing a gun at me. I stopped dead in my tracks facing him with my nine mills in hand. "Let's settle this without guns el Diablo!" I said as i tossed my gun. He lowered his gun and tossed it toward mine. I launched myself at him as he through a fist my way. We both landed on the ground we wrestled then i kicked him off of me. He landed next to his gun and grabbed it. We both stood up. He pointed his gun at me. I stood right on the edge of the river with the waterfall crashing behind me. I sank to one knee pretending to surrender as i reached for my ankle holster. He fired a shot off at me and i drew my gun launching myself backwards. In the air i fired off a shot hitting him between the eyes. At that moment i saw the guys and Sheryl appear through the trees. I fell in to the river below with water crashing into me, keeping me under water. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. The bugger shot me. My whole life flashed by in front of my eyes and then suddenly i saw a bright light with a hand reaching out for me. It was Sheryl; she jumped in the river after me. She pulled me to the banks of the river and revived me. She patched up my wound as quick as she could. She used a tampon to stop the bleeding after she removed the bullet. The bullet was lodged between my vital organs. It missed everything. I looked deeply into her eyes before i loosed consciousness. The guys carried me toward the extraction point where a helicopter was waiting for us. I could hear the thunder of the propellers and the warehouse blow up in the far background. I could hear the men trying to calm Sheryl down. She had my head on her lap stroking my hair. A few hours later the helicopter landed at the military hospital. Nurses and a doctor rushed me on a gurney to the surgery theatre. The men went back to the base with the copter to hand over the cores while Sheryl stayed behind, waiting to hear from the doctor. ****************** Sheryl was sitting in the waiting area. She tried so hard to be strong. When she saw the rest of the team walk in she broke down crying. They consoled her as best as they could. They all waited an hour more before the doctor came through the doors; the doctor walked up to them and asked them a few questions. "Does Jolene have any family?" He asked them all. They all stood around Sheryl. Nervous for what is to come, all of them expecting the worst. "No dock, Joe and i both grew up in an orphanage. I'm all she has...she is all i have. These are our friends." Sheryl answered the doctor. "Okay well, her heart stopped twice during surgery and she has lost a lot of blood during her flight here to the hospital. She is stable now but critical. We are going to keep a close eye on her for the next twenty four hours." The doctor said to them. "So she is going to be alright?" Sheryl asked the doctor. "Oh yes she will be fine. By the way, who patched her up?" The doctor asked. "I did doctor." Sheryl told him. "Well, you did a very good job. You saved her life by removing the bullet and patching her with a tampon. It looks like the bullet was millimetres away from her stomach. If it moved and her stomach was punctured she would have died." The Doctor looked very pleased with her. "Can we see her doctor?" Brian asked him pointing to the men and Sheryl. "At the moment she is resting but yes, since you are her closest family you may see her. She is in a private room at the end of the west hall." The doctor answered. They all gave one sigh of relief and started walking to my room. They all stood There talking to me while i was knocked out. Sheryl sat on my left side next to the bed on a chair holding my hand. Half an hour later the guys left. "Will you let us know when she wakes up Sheryl?" Brian asked her. "Sure i will." Sheryl said looking at me with sadness on her face. *********************** I woke up in a private room with Sheryl lying next to me on the bed sleeping. A nurse came in checked my wound and asked me if i needed anything. So i asked her if she would do me a favour and buy me female engagement ring and bring it to me when she comes in the next time. When i stroked her hair and gave her a kiss on her forehead she lifted her head and looked at me with tears of happiness in her eyes. "Hey babe, did i get him?" I asked her with a smile on my face. "Yes you did get him, baby." She said sitting upright taking my hand in her own. "Good." I said as the general walked into the room. Sheryl stood and saluted the general, i still bed bound saluted him trying to sit up straight. "At ease soldiers, I'm happy to see you up and awake sergeant. You and your team did a very good job out there." He said standing next to me. "Thank you sir. We always do our best." I said with a painful look on my face from moving. "Take it easy soldier. I just came to give you two your pay cheques for your four years of service plus a little extra. Just take it as your retirement funds." He said as he handed a cheque to each of us. "Thank you very much sir. Does this mean that we have completed our contracts sir?" Sheryl asked him as he headed for the door. "That's correct Sheryl. Before i leave i would just like to thank you two for the loyal service you provided." He said facing us. We saluted him one last time then he left. Sheryl and i couldn't believe the Amount they paid us. Sheryl let the guys know that i was awake. An hour later they pitched up with flowers and chocolates. "Hey guys, how's life treating you?" I asked them smiling. "Hi Joe. Oh, life is just miserable without you." John answered. "How are you feeling Sheryl?" Brian asked her putting his hand on her shoulder. "I'm much better now that Joe is awake. I can't wait till she is strong enough to go home." She said with a mischievous smile. All for Love "And why is that babe?" I asked knowing exactly what she meant. "Oh you'll see baby. Let's just say that you will need another doctor when I'm done with you." She said kissing me on the lips. The men burst into laughter. "Oh guys wait, please don't make me laugh it hurts?" I said trying not to laugh. "Ooohhhh, Joe you are going to be in big trouble." Maxwell said tapping me on the leg. "I know i can't wait to get home." I said smiling because laughing hurt too much. The doctor walked in the room and the men left to give us some privacy. "We will be back later Joe. You take care now." John said waving from the door. "Okay guys. See you later. Thank you for the gifts." I waved at them. "No problem Joe." Georgy answered. The doctor took a look at my chart, then looked at my vital signs and wrote on the chart. "Well Joe, everything looks promising so far. As soon as you can start moving on your own you can go home. Let's say in about two or three days at the most." The doctor said looking up at Sheryl and me. "Well, then that is very good news, isn't it doctor?" Sheryl asked him. "Yes, it is. The nurses will be in here shortly to change your bandages Joe." He said leaving the room. "Thank you very much dock." I said, my eyes following him out of the room. The nurse came in later removed my old bandages, cleaned my wound and put new ones on. "Your wound looks very good soldier. You sure are a lucky person. If you feel up to it i could help you up so you could start moving again?" The nurse said standing next to me. "I would be very grateful nurse. I can't expect my better half here to carry me around all day." I pointed toward Sheryl. The nurse looked at me then at Sheryl and just smiled. She helped me sit up then she supported my back with one hand and passed me a small black velvet covered box without Sheryl seeing. I winked at the nurse mouthing the words thank you and stood up very slowly and hid the box under my hospital gown. "I would like to go outside for a while please nurse?" I asked her. "Are you coming babe? This hospital smell is nauseating." I asked Sheryl. "Sure I'm coming baby." Sheryl answered. The nurse led us out the back to the most beautiful green garden i have ever seen. There were colourful flowers everywhere and stone tables with seats based in the middle of the garden. "Thank you nurse. I will take it from here but please stay close in case i need you?" I asked the nurse while she left me to stand on my own. I took Sheryl by the hand and led her to the table. Sheryl sat down staring at me. I stood next to her and dropped slowly to one knee and removed the small box from under my gown. "Hum...Joe...what are you doing?" She asked me in wonder. "Sheryl, you have saved my life too many times to count, i wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you. The main reason i am here today is because you saved my Life the day we first met each other, which is the day i truly fell in love with you." I opened the box and revealed a beautiful thin white gold ring with a small rare blue diamond. Sheryl gasped at the ring in front of her. "Sheryl will you marry me?" I finally asked her. "Oh Joe. Of course i will marry you." She answered delighted throwing her arms around me almost making me crash to the ground. "Ouch, careful babe, I'm still hurting." I said trying to ignore the pain shooting through my abdomen. "Oh, I'm so sorry baby. I forgot about your wound for a moment there." Sheryl said releasing me and bringing her hands up over her mouth. "Nurse!" I called. "Yes, Joe." The nurse came walking from the door where she was having a smoke while waiting for us to finish. "I can't get up. Can you please help me?" I asked looking up at her with a smile. "Sure Joe. That is why i am here." The nurse said while helping me to my feet. "Thank you very much nurse. I think i have kept you out of your job for long enough now. My fiancé can take me to my room." I said to the nurse as i put my one hand on Sheryl's shoulder balancing myself. "It's my pleasure Joe. Just call if you need anything?" The nurse said as she turned around. Sheryl and i walked to my room on our own time talking about where we would live together and what we would do to have a steady income. She helped me onto my bed and sat beside me. She lived in the hospital with me until the day i was released. Chapter four After Sheryl and i said our 'i do's' with our four closest friends at the very small wedding reception all six of us went out drinking for the night. Sheryl and i showed them the land we bought. The men were very happy for the two of us. The next few weeks they spent their off time helping Sheryl and i with our new business. Sheryl and i spent our honeymoon working on our house after that. At least our business was running so we had something to take our minds off of a broken house we were turning into our new home. Sheryl and i bought a piece of land just on the outskirts of town with two buildings on it. We used our retirement funds to revamp the buildings. The one furthest from the road we turned into a house for the two of us. The other one right next to the road we turned into a small motel and restaurant. During school days Sheryl and i developed a love for cooking, so we thought that would be perfect as a steady income. Our restaurant was doing quite well despite the distance from town. The house took a bit longer than we thought it would. While we were revamping our house we camped outside in a tent. It was so wonderful outside the one night we decided to sleep under the stars in our double sleeping bag next to a burning fire. I woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and felt next to me. Sheryl wasn't there so i got up to go look for her. "Sheryl, where are you?" I called for her looking around in the dark. The fire was out. It looked as if there were water poured over it. Sheryl didn't answer me. I searched in the tent for the flashlight and walked up the hill toward the house. There was a light on inside. I switched the flashlight off and moved closer, trying to be very quiet. When i reached the front porch there was a note on the door that read; follow the jasmine. It was in Sheryl's hand writing. I opened the door slowly, peeking inside. There was jasmine on the floor leading up the stairs. I closed the door and looked around the ground floor, it was clear. I followed the jasmine up the stairs it lead me toward the main bedroom. I stopped in front of a closed door with another note on it. It read; you are getting warmer. Step inside and claim your prise. My heart started racing as i slowly opened the door. What i saw inside made my heart skip two beats at a time. There she was on the bed sleeping under pure cotton sheets, my saviour and my angel. I walked up to the bed softly and kissed her on the cheek. Sheryl's eyes fluttered open searching the room. Without saying a word she looked at me gesturing with her finger that i should come closer. I climbed on the bed as she lifted the covers revealing my naked prise. She sat up ripping my shirt off over my head. I climbed on top of her spreading my legs one on either side. She pulled me in closer hugging me, digging her nails in my back and kissing me on my shoulder. I felt her hands move down to my waist searching for my belt buckle and undoing it. I sat up giving her room to undo my button and zipper. Sheryl sneaked her hand into my jeans searching for her prise. She made me moan when she found what she was looking for. I leaned forward and kissed my bride, my better half and my soul mate. Sheryl played with my clit, making me very rowdy. In one swift and quick move she flipped me off of her onto my back. Now Sheryl was on top of me. The sheet flew off of us to the floor. She sat over me admiring my well-toned body. She ran her fingers up and down my body, slowly and sensually. She then pinned my hands over my head kissing me all over the place. Sheryl released my hands kissing down my body till she reached my mound. Looking up at me she gave one sly smile. I knew exactly what she was going to do. I closed my eyes, but i could feel everything my beautiful bride did. Sheryl was teasing me; licking up and down my outer lips of my neither region. I needed her to release me from this torture. Sheryl suddenly twirled my clit in her mouth with her tongue. I didn't know where to put my hands so i grabbed the sheet underneath us. Sheryl had me so wet already; she pumped her finger in and out of me still playing with my clit. I released the sheet and grabbed the head bored behind my head. I felt an orgasm rising from deep inside me. I opened my eyes watching Sheryl; i started bucking my hips up and down. Sheryl sucked on my clit causing my orgasm to explode. She gently licked up the juices flowing from me bringing me down from my high. She crouched up over me bringing her finger she used closer to my lips. I gladly sucked her finger clean tasting my own juices. Sheryl looked at me smiling as i put my hands on her hips gently laying her down on her back next to me kissing her soft lips. I massaged one breast with my hand while suckling the nipple of the other into my mouth. I twirled my tongue around it and flicked it. Her nipple hardened then i gave equal attention to the other nipple. I slowly suckled my way down her body making her squirm and beg for more. Sheryl started playing with her nipples as i kissed her on the clit. I teased her kissing and licking around her neither lips then up and down her inner thigh. Sheryl looked down at me with a pleading sparkle in her eyes bitting down on her lower lip. I just looked up at her smiling my mischievous smile. She tilted her head back with a grin and her hands over her face. I licked around her vagina then stuck my tongue inside of her. She looked down at me shocked grabbing the sheet. I used my thumb to rub her clit as i stabbed my tongue in and out of her. She bucked her hips and just as her muscles tried to clench my tongue i stuck two fingers in her. Licking and suckling on her clit i stabbed my fingers in and out of her. Sheryl bucked her hips faster matching my speed. I could feel her clenching my fingers as a huge orgasm took over her body, arching her back and tilting her head back. Sheryl fell flat on her back again. I licked up her juices and crouched up next to her knowing that she had feinted on me. She always did after a big orgasm. I laid there holding her in my arms thinking about how lucky i am to have met her all those years ago. Sheryl and i heave faced so many horrors apart and together through all these years. We are both at the age of twenty two now. We still have time to enjoy the rest of our years together. ******************** Sheryl and i spent our mornings volunteering at the orphanage where we grew up. We helped the children to adapt, to try and get over their past horrors. I started a self-defence class there. My self-defence classes taught them discipline and control over any situation they would face in life. The children always seemed so comfortable around Sheryl so she studied further to become a child psychologist. They opened up to her about everything. What made me happy is that my babe was happy. On Fridays we invited the children from the orphanage to eat at our restaurant for free. After we got all the children back at the orphanage, Sheryl and i just got in our car to leave when we heard all the children screaming and crying. They never did that when we brought them home. "That sounds like trouble my babe." I said looking at Sheryl. "It sure does baby. Why don't we check it out quickly?" Sheryl said looking worried. We got out of the car and sneaked around until we could see inside. There was a man inside holding the children, Rachel and her assistant hostage by gun point in the main room. It looked like he was alone. Sheryl phoned the police told them what was going on and let them know who we were. "I think we should take this freak out babe. He looks like he might crack any moment and kill someone." I said looking into her eyes. "I think so to baby. Doesn't he look kind of familiar to you?" She asked me trying really hard to remember. "Yes he does look familiar babe. Let's go." I remembered a window leading to the basement at the back where we always snuck out. Sheryl knew exactly where i was going. We snuck through the window and headed up the stairs as quiet as we could be. We looked around the house to see if there were any other perps; there were no-one else. We headed for the kitchen looking for something to use as weapons. Sheryl grabbed the broom and took the brush off while i grabbed the chef's knife. "Baby i know how we can lure him away from those children. Can you remember the rumours of a ghost haunting these halls?" Sheryl asked me. "Yes i can babe. Are you suggesting that we scare the living crap out of him?" I asked her with a big grin on my face. "Yes i am baby. He most likely will come check it out taking one hostage with him." Sheryl said. "That could definitely work. We can handle him with one hostage. We need a plan?" I said looking around. Sheryl and i split up gathering a few things. We found balloons, pee shooters, a needle with string, a helium gas bottle, some chilli powder and a small toy remote control helicopter. We put some chilli powder in the balloon and blew it up with the helium and tied the balloon to a counter in the middle of the kitchen with the string. I stood at the kitchen door looking through the small glass window and sent the helicopter flying through the door around the perps head over the children and back to the kitchen. The children immediately started crying ghost. As we suspected the perp grabbed Rachel and told the assistant to keep the children quiet or Rachel dies. He walked slowly to the kitchen with Rachel in front of him. As they walked through the doors Rachel saw the chilli powder on the table opposite the counter with the balloon. She never left it where the children would get it. Sheryl was hiding behind the counter and i was hiding behind next to the fridge half way behind the kitchen door so i could see when to pop the balloon with the pee shooter and needle. The perp moved closer to the counter pushed Rachel aside and examined the balloon keeping the gun on Rachel. I saw Rachel close her eyes without the perp noticing meaning that she got the hint. I put the needle between my lips and blew it at the balloon through the pee shooter. The balloon popped spraying the perp's eyes with chilli powder. He dropped the gun on the floor making it go off then furiously rubbing his eyes with both his hands only making it burn more. Sheryl stood up and knocked him in the face with the broom stick. He crashed into me where i knocked him out cold by hitting him behind the head with the handle of the knife and fell to the floor. We tied him up with rope we found in the utility draw and stuck a dish cloth in his mouth to keep him quiet until the police arrived. "Joe, Sheryl?" Rachel called us; coughing while falling to the floor. "Rachel!" Sheryl called out rushing to her side. I sank to my knees next to them checking the wound. She was shot in her shoulder just above the collar bone; a through and through basically just a graze. "She has been shot Sheryl. You try to take care of her while i go check on the children." I said standing up heading for the main room. When the children saw me they all stood up almost running me over. They all stood around me in one big group hug. "Are you guys alright?" I asked them checking each one of them. Just then the police stopped outside with an ambulance. The assistant went to the door and called them inside. They arrested the perp and one vehicle took him to the station. The ambulance took Rachel to the hospital while Sheryl and i explained to the police what had happened. The police almost wet themselves with laughter when we told them how we caught the perp. It turns out that the perp was the assistant's boyfriend whom she had dumped two days ago; which explains why he looked so familiar to Sheryl and me. He was here lots of times helping the children. The story of Sheryl and i saving the children ended up in the newspapers and on television. We each received a bravery medal by the local police and public. ************************* A week later Rachel was alive and still kicking butt thanks to Sheryl. Rachel received two new children at the orphanage; Sisters Angela age five and Lexy age ten. Sheryl and i fell in love with them since we first saw them. We talked about it then adopted the two girls, giving them the best home and family they would ever have. Lexy was very protective over Angela; it took them quite a while to warm up to us and the new home. They used to live with their older brother who is now locked up for abusing them. Their parents left them home alone one day and never returned. The truth came out later that their brother killed them and buried their bodies somewhere outside of town; he couldn't remember where though. Sheryl and i never had a major fight or misunderstanding over anything. We talked about everything. We told the children our life's stories and it did help them trust us a bit more. Within a few weeks the girls were calling Sheryl mommy and me mom. They made us so happy. We were proud to call them our children. We were all happy because we had the one thing we wanted the most; a loving and caring family. Our girls were doing great in school and had loads of friends. It was a little awkward for them to have two mothers and no father but they loved us none the less. The truth was that the girls reminded me so much of Rachel and i when we first met. The girls stuck together no matter what situation the faced.
