Chapter 11

*3rd POV*

Jake sat in his wheelchair with his head in his hands. Guilt swarmed his entire being. Norm, Grace and Jake were thrown into a locked jail cell. You needed a special key card to open the door, and there was no way there were getting out anytime soon.

Soldiers suddenly started coming back into the room outside the cell, shouting and blocking their view. Grace stood to her feet and started to look over them, while Jake bent down, looking between their sides. A table was rolled inside, and a blue body was laid on that table.

"Izzy!" Grace gasped. "What are you doing with her?! Let her go!" Grace demanded as she banged on the glass door that kept them in. Izzy may not be her daughter, but Izzy was raised by Grace, for Eywa, so Grace was protective.

"Izzy? Izzy! No! No!" Jake cried out in anguish. "She better be alive you giant assholes!" Jake was worried for one of his mates.

"Shut up, the lot of you!" One of the soldiers demanded, slamming his fist on the glass door. "The princess here is just fine. A bit knocked out, though." He grinned. "Had to use three tranqs to get her down."

"Three?!" Grace and Norm gasped.

"Just one is enough to take down an elephant! You could have killed her!" Norm shouted. 

"Yeah, well. She'll be fine. Too bad she's a massive savage. A pretty little thing, isn't she?" He laughed and stroked her cheek.

"Don't touch her!" Jake growled angrily, slamming his own first against the glass, protective of one of his mates. She had mates, and Jake was going to make sure, that they all made it back to each other.

"Lock her up." He demanded.

The table was pushed into the cell next to theirs and locked up. Jake sighed, as there was no window to see into the cell beside them. He was entirely glad Izzy was safe, but she was in this mess because of him and that made him feel even worse. And he lied to her. He lied to one his mates, the mate he told everything, but this time, he didn't tell her anything.

Hours passed and no one else had come in, until Trudy showed up with a lunch cart. She knocked on the outside door and was buzzed in by the desk soldier who sat on guard of them.

"What's going on, brother? Long time no see." Trudy greeted him with a large smile. "Jake, Grace and Norm sat up and looked out their glass door, after hearing her voice.

"Hey." He greeted her back.

"Personally, I don't feel these tree hugging traitors deserve steak." She chuckled.

"They get steak?" The security guard gasped. "That's bullshit. Let me see that." He leaned down to open the chart and peep inside at their food. 

Trudy chuckled again, walking around to the bend over officer, pulling out her pistol and holding it to his head.

"Yeah. You know that that is. Down." She demanded.

"Trudy!" Norm called to her, shocked.

"All the way down." Trudy forced the security guard down to the ground and then pistol whipped him in the back of the head unconscious. "Max!" Trudy grinned as she called out to him, placing her pistol back in her pocket.

Max quickly ran into the cell block as Trudy moved the body out of the way. He scanned a key card and input a code, allowing the doorway to open. Before he moved over towards Izzy's cell, doing the same. He quickly entered it and pushed the large bed, with the sill unconscious Izzy out. Jake rolled out of the cell and to the bedside, gently touching her hand. "You idiot...You should have went with our mates..." Jake whispered to one of his mates.
