"Jamie!"
Jamie turned in the direction of the voice and saw that it was indeed his beloved brother. He tried to get up and rush over to him, but Marty waved him back down, fearing the guards would see. Instead, he wrote down on a nearby piece of paper an passed it to Jamie. The note said:
Hey kiddo. Sorry I took so long
These pricks are smarter and
Tougher than they look. Now
Pay attention. I've got a 9mm
In my holster and I'm gonna
Pass it to you before I leave.
Don't worry I'll be nearby,
But don't use that gun until
I come back and get you guys
Are we clear?
Jamie nodded and waved for the gun. Marty passed it to him carefully and put it in the back of his shirt, hidden under his tail.
'FIND HIM!'
Before his savior disappeared, Jamie mouthed the words 'I love you' and Marty did the same. Then he was gone. Jamie turned and saw Blake was watching.
"Was that the Doctor?" Blake asked in wonder, "Is he here to help us?"
"Yes Blake, it was him." Jamie answered with tears, "And yes. He will save us."
"FIND HIM!"
I was able to give his guards the slip and got well across the store. Easy enough, considering there was hardly any cover. In the layaway area, I hid my self in the bathroom and recollected myself. Now, I'd have to rethink my plans, seeing as I've drawn attention to myself. I had to use the bathroom anyway, and I did so and set my supplies down at the side of the bathroom stall. My rifle only had one shot left and I had given the 9mm to Jamie. There was a mirror on the wall I was facing.
"Got any other bright ideas, genius?" , I said to my reflection.
Then came something I didn't expect. The cell phone I picked up from the security guard, rang with an unknown number. I answered it and I almost I almost freaked out over who it was.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Marty Drake? This is President Jennifer Addams. What is your current situation?"
"Holy shit. Madame President? How'd you get this number?!" I asked.
"Your dispatcher friend thought you could use some back-up. What's your situation?" Addams asked.
"I've killed three of the terrorists and the general's getting scared. The hostages are still alive and I've made contact with my brother. Two guards are watching them. My rifles only got one shot left, so you better do something fast. I'm running out of ideas here, and the general's men are looking for me."
"Son, you've fought bravely and you'll be commended for it, but right now you need to get ready for the final battle. Our swat teams are on their way to the Wal-mart's over hanging windows and they'll mop up the rest if you can take out the guards nearest to the hostages."
"But Ms. President, what about the nukes?!" I asked earnestly.
"Relax son. We've located and neutralized all of the nukes with your mother's help. Now she's on her way back to the white house and she's being informed of your situation."
"How long until the SWAT teams are in position?" I asked.
"5 Minutes. Why?" She asked.
"Tell them to get into positon and wait to hear a rifle shot." I said.
"Agreed. They'll wait for your signal. And good luck, Mr. Drake. To all of you." Addams replied.
"Thank you Madame President. Good luck to us all." I replied.
With a click on the other end, I smiled to my reflection and said, "Now it's a party!" I picked up the rifle and loaded the last shot in the chamber. I kicked the door open and crept around the corner. No guards...they were still searching for me. I jumped up onto a well hidden shelf and watched the window. Now all I could do was wait for the SWAT teams. Every second made me more jumpy. I was getting very sick of waiting. Then I saw it. The SWAT team was in position. They saw me and I saw them. They positioned themselves around the window, waiting for the signal. I aimed the rifle at the thug nearest to me. To the SWAT commander I motioned 3...2...1...I fired the last shot then all hell broke loose. The SWAT Crashed through the window
And the guard I shot hit the floor. I jumped from my perch and grabbed the downed guards' guards gun and Kevlar vest and ran for Jamie.
Jamie and the other hostages were in conversation about Marty's appearance. Jamie was so excited at seeing his brother he almost got them into trouble for being loud.
"Are you sure it was him?!" The iguana girl asked.
"Yes it was him! I know my brother and that was him. He gave me this!" Jamie excitedly said. He showed them the 9mm he was hiding with his tail.
The wolf family had smiles on their faces when they saw he was telling the truth. The ferret woman and her boyfriend just ignored them. The old bear just observed and kept quiet. The pig boy was just lying up against the wall, like he had been doing the entire time. He hadn't moved this entire time, and Jamie was starting to wonder if he was okay.
"Hey. Are you OK?" Jamie asked.
The pig boy slowly shuffled to face Jamie. What Jamie saw made him cover his mouth in horror. The pig boy's arm was bloody and mauled. He was sweating and wheezing in pain.
"Oh my God...what happened to you?" Jamie Gasped.
"I was...over...I...I don't remember." He wheezed.
"What's your name?" Jamie asked.
"Maury" Maury replied.
"Do you have any family?" Jamie asked with a smile.
"Yeah. My mom's waiting for me at home. So's my little sister and brother." Maury said.
"Then you listen to me, and listen good." Jamie said sternly. He took off his sweatshirt and started to wrap Maury's arm. "You've got to hold on for them. You hear? They're waiting for you."
"Aah! Damn it, alright. I'll hold on. I promise." Maury swore.
Then, glass shattering could be heard at the other end of the store, followed by shouting and gunshots.
"Go time!" Jamie said and with those words he drew the 9mm and got revenge on the two guards.
Running back the same way towards Jamie's position, I had to dodge stray bullets here and there to stay alive. Finally I found Jamie standing over the two guards. He popped his neck side to side and turned to me and said, "Damn I've been waiting to do that all day. And where the hell have you been, brother of mine!?"
He ran to me and jumped into my arms and just cried. He said nothing, and neither did I. We both felt the same god given relief at being reunited. We didn't care who saw us. I put him down and gave him a kiss that he was owed. At that moment all we felt was the happiness of being together again we forgot about the ensuing chaos. An explosion from the hot zone snapped us out of it and I picked up one of the dead guards' automatic guns and armor.
"Marty!" It was the SWAT commander.
"Over Here!" I said.
"The front doors to the mall are clear of explosives. However, our infrared scopes found other heat signatures. You and your brother are to lead the hostages out the front. Medics are waiting, as well as your mother and father. Be careful." The Commander explained.
"You be Careful! See you in hell, Commander!" I shouted as he left.
"See you there!" He shouted back.
"OK hon, how much ammo do you have?" I asked Jamie.
"About 2 and a half clips worth of firepower. You?" He replied.
"3 clips. Should be enough between us to get out of here. You ready?" I asked with a smile.
He loaded his gun and cocked it, smiled, and said, "Always! Let's go!"
We ushered the hostages out and past, the candy machines, me in front of the group and Jamie behind. So far nothing. Then Jamie shouted, "CONTACT REAR!" The hostages ducked and Jamie and I opened fire. First guard down. We continued forward and passed the DVD store. I heard a noise to my left side and saw two guards to my left.
"CONTACT LEFT!" I shouted.
"GOT THEM!" he shouted back.
Two more guards down. We continued on our way down the walk and passed the Pharmaceutical shop where I healed myself. We hurried around the corner and saw the exit was blocked by 3 more guards. We reloaded and sorted out a game plan.
"OK you lot. Stay here and wait for us to tell you its safe. Jamie, how are you on ammo?" I asked, out of breath.
"Enough to take the last of these assholes out. On three?"
"On three...THREE!" I shouted. We rushed out from behind the corner and opened fire. I dove behind a fake tree, its pot taking the bullets meant for me. Jamie hid behind a collapsed wall from a store. Jamie jumped the first guard and shot him in the forehead. I rushed the second guard and broke his neck, while the final guard just threw down his gun and surrendered. Jamie knocked him unconscious with his gun stock.
"All right guys it's clear! Lets go!" Jamie shouted.
One by one, the hostages rushed to the door, opening it and running into the sunlight. Medics escorted all of them to separate ambulances. When Jamie and I stepped through, it was like receiving a hero's welcome. We looked at each other and just waved. Our parents were there, just as the commander had said. Our mom rushed to me and our dad to rushed Jamie. They were more excited than scared though. Although mom had tears in her eyes.
"Oh sweetheart I'm so glad you boys are all right." Mom cried.
Jamie and I embraced her both of us breathing easier now.
Dad Smiled at us both and said, "Hell of a birthday party!"
"You don't know the half of it." Jamie said.
While we were celebrating, a limo pulled up behind the barricades. None other than the wolf President Addams stepped out surrounded by secret service pushing their way past the press. I didn't notice due to Mom strangling me with her bear hugs.
"Marty Drake?" She said. Mom released me and I saluted in respect.
"Oh stop that. God I've been saluted so many times today. You and your brother are to be commended for your efforts and your success. Your family are to accompany me back to the White House for a press meeting, as well as an awards ceremony. That is, if you are comfortable doing so."
Jamie and me exchanged shocked glances, and so did Mom and Dad. I didn't care about an award. I was just happy to have my brother back.
"Are you serious?!" Jamie exclaimed.
"An award ceremony? Do we deserve something like that?" I said.
"Your damn right you do. The wolf family you saved? They were my daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. Ah! Speaking of which, my grandson wants to see the "Doctor" that saved him. And judging from the bow tie and that outfit, I'm guessing that would be you Marty."
"Jamie would explain that please?" I said with a crooked smile.
"I told him you were The Doctor and that you would want him to be brave. He was." Jamie said shyly.
"Ah."
I adjusted the bow tie proudly and smiled. The soldiers brought the family forward. I knelt down and motioned him to come forward. The boy stepped forward and was a little nervous. His eyes were a little shaky due him being so hungry.
"I heard you were brave for my brother. You are going to be a good man when you get older." I said with a smile.
"Doctor?" He said meekly.
"Who else?" I said with a smile.
"It is you!" He shouted then hugged me. I hugged the kid back and laughed. I picked him up with me.
"So you want to be like me when your older do you?" I asked him.
"More than anything!" He said.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Blake." He said proudly.
"Well! If you wanna be like me, you'll need one of these!". I said.
I sat him down and reached into my pocket and pulled out a Sonic Screwdriver. His eyes glowed with wonder.
"Now as I am a Time Lord, I officially grant you your own Sonic Screwdriver, making you a Time Lord in your own right." I said. He took it from my hands and just stared at it. "Make me proud kiddo."
He ran back to his mom and she walked over to thank me.
"Thank you. Both of you. My family has connections so if you need anything, let us know. By the way what's your name?" She asked.
"Why, I'm the Doctor!" I said with a smile.
"Doctor Who?" She asked.
Jamie Snickered behind me and I said, "Your son knows. Let him tell you."
I walked back to my brother and put my arm around his shoulder. We walked back to the limo, but I asked them to go over to the limo and wait; I wanted a moment alone with Jamie. They went and stood by it.
"Jamie? I got something to ask you." I said.
"I'm listening, love." He said staring at me with his green eyes. I know I've said this before but I love those eyes of his.
"I wanna marry you. I Don't care when, I don't care where or how. But I want you to marry me. Will you?" I said as I grabbed his hands.
He didn't say a thing. He didn't even blink. His eyes got as wide as they could with tears. Then the worst moment in my life happened.
DIE YOU BASTARD!
Sixclaw was too close for me to counter. Jamie stepped in the way and Sixclaw's blade pierced Jamie's heart just barely. Jamie fell to the ground and the soldiers restrained Sixclaw. The medics pulled Jamie from my arms and rushed him to the ambulance. Mom left with Jamie. I picked up the blade and roared so loud God himself wouldn't dare get in my way. I rushed the guards and broke Sixclaw free. I stabbed him again and again and again. Even after he was dead I couldn't stop stabbing him. Dad had to pull me off of him. Even he had to have four other soldiers help him to. I could hear nothing. There was silence in my mind and heart. I screamed so loud in aguish, but I heard nothing come out. My face was soaked with blood and tears. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. Dad held me in his arms and dragged me to the Limo. President Addams directed the driver to follow the ambulance to the hospital.
When we got there, Jamie was already in intensive care. They said one of the valves in his heart was severed to the point of needing a replacement. He was in and out of surgery in a few hours. I never left the hospital. I was gonna be there when he woke up, even though My clothes were still stained with much of the general's blood. Mom got some clothes from home and brought them to me. I still wouldn't move, until he woke up. I just sat there for four straight days. Mom and dad left to take care of things at home.
I spoke for the first time since he was hurt.
"You asked me what would I do if I lost you. When you first asked that, I really didn't answer. I didn't want to because I didn't want to think about it. Losing you would be the only nail I would need in my coffin. I don't want to live without you sweetheart. I never will want to. I'd kill myself just to be with you in hell. Every night we sleep, I secretly thank whoever's watching this sorry excuse of a life for giving me you."
All that could be heard among my crying was the EKG machine. That night, I cried myself to sleep, thinking I would never hold him again.
They next day I groggily woke up to a silent room. I was wearing the clothes Mom brought me, and I was where Jamie was. The bed was made and Jamie was no where to be found. I panicked and broke out of the room in a hurry, grabbing and asking every doctor and nurse where the hell my brother was. No one knew, and I fell against the wall, tears threatening to fall.
"Why so sad Brother?"
Like in a sappy chick flick, I turned my head to see Jamie Standing next to Mom, Dad, and the President. I ran to him and Kissed him in front of Mom and Dad and the President. Frankly, I didn't really give a fuck. He kissed me back and wrapped his arms around me, holding me as I cried. He let go and kissed me again.
"You asked me to marry you. I have an answer." He said with tears of his own.
I tried to caution him in front of mom and dad. "I've told them everything. They are a little apprehensive, but they ultimately are happy."
I embraced him again. All I could say amongst my happiness, were three words. Words he returned. Words I will always say past the day I die.
I love you.
A few days passed and it was time for the award ceremony. We were picked up by the presidents limo and the clothes Jamie and I asked for were inside. As my last 11th Doctor outfit was covered in blood and virtually destroyed, the President was kind enough to set Jamie and me up with new ones. Well, he got the 10th and I got the 11th, that is. We changed in the car on the way and when we got there, the press swarmed the car trying to get a look at us.
"Ready to meet the people, hon?" Jamie said.
"I don't think I can do this. I never liked big crowds." I said with a little fear.
He placed a hand on my cheek. "I'm here. Don't worry baby, everything will be fine." Jamie said after kissing me.
"But your wound. Are you sure you're up for this? The President said we could reschedule" I asked.
"I'm sure. Besides, I want to get this over with so I can have you all to myself." He said cheekily.
I smiled and took his hand. The secret service were outside the limo waiting to help us get to the stage. We opened the door and followed them to the stage. Mom, Dad, the first lady, her daughter and her family, and our old Combat instructor were there waiting. The press and spectators were seated and the president walked to the podium.
"My fellow Americans. Today, we honor two of our most bravest citizens, for their exploits against impossible odds. A few days ago, America was once again threatened by terrorist Attack. The Forest Glen Shopping mall was besieged by remnant soldiers of former soviet Russia. The Leader of this outfit, General Sixclaw, called for our American ways to be silenced, and our homes to be surrendered to them. Many inside the mall were sadly killed when the attack took place, and only 11 survived. Every family of the fallen has been cared for, and deeply compensated for our lack of vigilance. At first, it seemed as if there was no hope in the darkness. But, then an agent burst into my office and informed me of a survivor that had infiltrated the Wal-Mart where the terrorists were based. He and his brother stood against death and the devil himself to bring our citizens and my daughter's family back home safe and sound. They are here with us today, and I would like to introduce the Heroes of Forest Glen, Marty Drake, and Jamie Drake!"
Jamie and I stepped forward and the crowd cheered. The press took their photos and shouted questions out at us. They silenced one by one and Jamie picked a guy in a fedora.
"Mr Drake how were you able to take down the terrorists yourselves?" The press man asked.
"My brother and I were both trained with Col. Harding, the man standing next to my parents. He taught us how to survive in cases like what happened. But it was mostly Marty that took them down. I was a hostage until the SWAT teams picked us up and armed us to lead the hostages out and clean up the last of the terrorists on the way out." Jamie Answered.
He stepped back and more reporters shouted questions. I picked a dark haired pig lady with a white dress.
"Marty, I'm with Teen Chic Magazine. What are those Faaaaabulous clothes you and your brother are wearing?" She asked with a smile.
"Oh um, these are replica outfits from the 10th and 11th incarnations of Doctor Who. We figured if we were gonna get honored, why not look good? He's wearing the 10th and I'm wearing the 11th." I answered, a bit jaded already.
"Perfect. Now she's gonna get girls and boys after us." I whispered to Jamie.
More reporters shouted questions. Jamie picked a horse man up front with a blue suit.
"Jamie, are you or your brother in a relationship, at this time?" He asked.
"Yes we both are and the only thing we both have to say about that is its our business, and we're not gonna get into the habit of talking about it." Jamie replied with chagrin.
I picked a Beautiful Cow lady that was, well...Gifted with big...oh you get the point. "Boys, I'm with C-SPAN and I have two questions. What are your plans now that you are heroes, and would you boys be willing to do an interview with C-SPAN this weekend?" She asked with glee.
"We're going home for some rest and relaxation. And uh..." I looked at Jamie and he nodded Yes. "Yes, we'd love to!" I said with a smile.
She walked forward and said she'd stop by some time and winked.
More reporters were shouting questions, but the President motioned them to back off.
"Now it is time to honor these two boys for their Brave Acts of selflessness. Marty," she opened the box that her daughter was holding, "first, I award you with the Medal Of Honor, a privilege usually given to military personnel." She pinned it on my right front coat pocket. As I looked at it, I couldn't stop smiling.
"Jamie," she took a second Medal of Honor. "You also receive a Medal of Honor alongside your brother. As well as, " I motioned and asked if I could give the next to him. She obliged and stepped aside.
"Jamie, years ago when Your mom and you came to dad and me, I wanted no part of you. But as time went on, I realized just how much I really needed you, and how much you mean to me. All the years we've been brothers, have been the best years of my life. The President awarded this to you, but I'm giving it to you not only for getting wounded in combat. You deserve this more than anyone in my eyes, because you were willing to die to save me. I am gifted to have a brother's love as wonderful as yours. And I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. And before we leave, I have one last thing I want to give you."
I pinned it next to his Medal of Honor then I pulled out a blue box from my pocket. In it, my mother's necklace, the one she entrusted to me.
"My Biological mother would be so proud to have you as a son. I want you to have this. She made me swear to take care of it and I have. Now its your turn. Take care of it like I have brother of mine. Take it with my love."
He was wet with tears as he bowed his head. I placed my mother's necklace around his neck and placed a hand on his cheek. He embraced me and just cried. The audience clapped and cheered. My mom and dad held each other and cried. So did the President, her daughter, and quite a few people in the audience. I pulled back, kissed him on the forehead, and put my forehead against his and just stared into his eyes. He stared back with love, his eyes more green than ever.
That was a year ago today. Holding him, I see him as the most precious person in my life. He woke once again and saw that he was in my arms. All he did was put his nose to mine and stare into my eyes like he always does. I kissed him and said I love you, he returned the feeling, Then we drifted off to sleep together. I have all I could ever want and all I could hope for.
