Hunted

"Go ahead, clap 'em on. I may as well get used to them."

He put one hand cuff on her hand and one on his. He had learned that handcuffing the victum was stupid unless you were handcuffed to them. So what if she could slap him or punch him, it was a matter of security as well as for her own protection.

"So, do I get to know the name of my hunter?"

"Lieutenant Russell." He said with a salute, he was used to the salute so it came naturally. He led her towards the base, he knew a small base that was only a few miles walk. Even though it was a temporary base, seeing miltary wasn't part of the island's law. But it had been needed on this matter. He knew she had hostile feelings towards him but it didn't matter to him at all.

He continued to lead her along, he was a Lieutenant at a young age but he deserved it. His aim was for General or higher. He was a proud young man always aiming for something higher, with respect for people. He wanted to become someone who helped people and protected them.

Armand stood nearby at a attention position, he always seemed to be standing up straight at attention ready for anything. He was always formal and never looked his age in his actions. His eyes watched Frankie as she talked on the phone, he'd undo the handcuffs after this call.

He hoped that 'Honest-Abe' would pity his only daughter and stop his stupidity. Armand didn't figure that a person would really send people to kill their own daughter. But then again this man was flithy rich, more like flithy if he was to send people to kill his daughter. He waited listening to the conversation for developements. An earpiece was perched against his ear so he could hear the conversation so the girl couldn't lie to him.

"Dad. It's Frankie."

"Frankie. You don't sound ok. What'd goin' on."

"The Coppers kidnapped me. Look dad, they're threatening a whole lot of stuff against me if you don't do what they ask."

"You shouldn't have stayed alive. They're listening in. Well listen to this, feds. I DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM CLONES! THEY TAKE ORDERS FROM ME!"

"Told you so. For what it's worth, I hope you die."

Armand took the punch his face didn't change, he put the ear piece down. "Miss Ramirez, I appoligize. I'll personally ensure your safety, we'll get you back to your dorm so you can rest. I'll arrange some agreement with Headmistress Jenkins. Corporal!" He said waving down to his Corporal with a swift one way wave. "Corporal, did you get the tracking device?" The corporal nodded handing two small devices and their reciever device. He gave her a small chiplike clip.

"Put this on, if you put it in a unthought of place it's usually not removed by the enemy. I'll be wearing one as well so if we were to get separated you could find me without having the confusion of running through the woods unguarded. He handed her the device that looked like a cellphone. This is a cellphone/GPS you'll be able to find me or help if something happens." He looked towards her pockets, "If you have a weapon such as a gun feel free to ask the Corporal for more ammo." He unlocked the handcuffs.

"And ma'am you can rest assured, everyone dies eventually. And I will protect you with my life." He said with a bow of his head.

"Geez you're an idiot. I've been aprehended enough to know I get in trouble for posession of weapons. The only weapon I had was the one I kicked over to you. I need some food. And I'd like a gun. And you'd better pray whoever finds us first is the amateur."

"Then let's head to the cafeteria and then we'll get you two new guns with ammo." He said to her, noting she didn't looked too good. She looked sick, he looked kinda weak. This was shocking to the miltary boy, he wondered if the overwealmingness of her father wanting to kill her had just gotten to her.

"May as well just let me go..Most of these guys have more knowledge than you. That way you can keep on being a Dog of the Military. Maybe take down my father."

He looked at her, "No, you need protection. We'd have no proof if you died, and if you died I'd never be able to sleep at night. I promise you I will do my best to protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you Miss Ramirez."

"I need food. Now."

He knew there was no food in this section of the base, he looked at her and said something quickly. "Forgive me Miss Ramirez." He tooked her in his arms and ran towards the food area of the base. He had a comrade like her, if he ever had too low blood sugar he'd shake and then either go into a coma or something. That's why he was always beside him, he wondered why the girl was like that so soon. Had she even eaten all day? He sighed as he ran, soon they reached the room. He placed her in a chair and told the food provider about it. The food provider came with some food as well as a small clean needle and bottle. "Do you ever take the sugar you need from a needle?" He asked the girl quickly. He knew it would help her more quickly and get the sugar in her blood before she could go into shock.

He had been a food provider that had been studying to be a medical doctor. He knew most of the important things about medical care in emergencies as well as rare medical care. He knew most people with sugar problems weren't allowed to stay in the miltary unless they were important and irreplaceable.

Seeing the girl was too far in the shock to eat and get it in time he drew some of the liquid sugar into the needle then pierced it into her arm whilst the Lieutenant held her still so she wouldn't cause bodily harm to herself. The food provider injected the sugar into her blood stream and the Lieutenant let go of his hold. The food provider watched her making sure she recovered in time and didn't need anything else.

"Charlie, I need to prepare some things so I can keep a close eye on her. Can you stay with her and make sure she doesn't leave the base without me. Also make sure she gets all the food she wants."

((Sorry if the injection was against your plan. >.> I can take it out if you didn't want it for her.))

"I won't leave. Just don't freaking look at me. It's creepy."

The cook placed some food in front of her, it was a burger. Some salad and fries, it wasn't the healthiest. But it would help her blood sugar remain high enough that she didn't have a relapse. He sat next to her, "What did Armand do to you? Did he try to kiss you?" The guy said with a chuckle, he never got to learn much about Armand so he thought he'd pry.

"Heh... Guess he's not as dreamy with girls as we all thought. So did he even try to make a move or no? He's always so army centered, I guess that's what you get when you have no parents and are brought up by the General of the army. He even shines his shoes each day, most just do it when it's needed. He does everything by the book. He never brings his girlfriends to any social events, heh... it's got to be impossible for a guy like that to not have one. Or maybe that's why he's such a bookhead." He said with a chuckle, he wasn't watching her. He was just trying to find out info and help cheer her up.
