As planned, this will be the penultimate chapter. Due to the amount of content that I've got in mind to finish this off, this chapter might be one of the longest before wrapping everything up in the twenty-fifth and last chapter.
Like most of the chapters in 'Book 2', there is a suspension of belief somewhat required but it's all written with that in mind and simply meant to be all in good fun. It's all fiction and fantasy in the end!

"ASIO officers will be present upon your arrival, Captain." Looking at Julia, I almost smirked at the use of my old rank. "Get used to it, Nate. The boss told you that you will be brought back to life in more ways than one."
"What about my family?"
Her face fell. "Nothing yet, Nate. This isn't a normal kidnapping situation. The Russians want blood. They want their vengeance. They want you to pay for embarrassing them."
"Well, I'm not going to just hand myself over and I doubt they've managed to get them out of the country so where do they think they are?"
"A secure compound, hoping to make the exchange. You for them. They'll threaten and bluster. As soon as we get a fix on their location, you're going in."
"Good."
Katie was sitting next to me, listening in to the conversation. Feeling her cuddle into my side, I turned and hugged her tightly as she needed a cry. "You'll save them, won't you, Nate?"
"You bet your sweet little arse."
The giggle she released warmed my heart. Hannah and Emma were snoozing on the other side of the aisle, covered in blankets. We'd spent two days in Montana, the Director having everyone available going over all the intelligence available. What he could confirm is that the enemy had gone after me and Julia, Katie, Hannah and Emma, and my family back home all at the same time. By the time the word was sent to intelligence back home, it was already too late.
There had been only one message so far. I was to return home and surrender myself to those who had taken Amy and my parents. My captors would then be allowed to leave by plane. I knew exactly where they'd take me and what would happen rather quickly upon landing. Interrogation. Torture. Eventual execution.
"I don't want anyone else fucking this up, Jules," I finally said, "This will be a two-person operation. You and me. We figure out where they are, I infiltrate, take the fuckers out, and save my family. That's the only thing that matters."
"Not sure the locals will appreciate that."
"I don't care. Get the boss on the phone and he can authorise it. It will take one phone call from someone high up elsewhere to somewhere high up back home. I don't care how many noses are put out of joint."
"Some would say you're too emotional, Nate." I gave Julia a look which earned a smirk in return. "I know you're pissed off. However, I've worked with you long enough to know you don't operate on emotion. Facts, logic and the occasional gut feeling."
Landing at an airport outside of Sydney, we were greeted by a trio of ASIO officials. To my surprise, they'd already been briefed, offering their assistance, the lead agent informing me that he'd received a call hours ago stating the operation would be mine and mine alone, and while I would require assistance, it would be up to Jennifer and I to resolve the issue. He admitted it was highly unusual but the call had come from near enough to the top that he didn't argue. Leading me away for a private conversation, my first concern was the three women with me.
Hannah, Emma and Katie were naturally worried when I was in conversation. Julia wouldn't be going with me, at least on the operation itself but would join me until we found them. Otherwise, she would simply be giving me all the information I needed, our two people act the same as always. Perhaps the last time we'd work together in such a manner. We had only one cache in Australia that I was going to make full use of. Although my home country was considered incredibly safe, it was always best to be prepared in case the worst happened.
"I can assure you that the authorities will be kept in the loop regarding what I'm doing," I told the lead ASIO agent before we started to split up, "But what we know so far is that we will likely not be dealing with Russian nationals, so a diplomatic incident should be afforded. We've received word on the way here that military contractors from the region were deployed here to take care of the targets."
"Do you know where they are?" he wondered, "We haven't been able to get a fix on them yet."
Nodding, I replied, "Within the Sydney Metropolitan Area. My two priorities are to rescue to the targets and prevent civilian casualties. Once we locate the targets, the hope is that they are not in a suburban setting. I will need a message sent to all stations across the Metro Area for them to not involve themselves once we locate the targets."
"If you get us word of where they are, I can spread word to keep the area closed until you give us the all-clear."
"Thank you."
He paused before asking, "Is this personal?"
"They've taken my family because of what I've been doing. I took the job with the near assurance my family would be safe."
Gesturing to one of the large vehicles, he explained the three women would be taken to a secure building to wait for my return. He promised to also keep them in the loop of what I was doing, and once I have found and rescued my family, ensure they would be told of our condition. Before they were driven away, I made sure I hugged each of them tightly, whispering how much I loved them. I was still expecting anger from Hannah and Emma. Maybe that was still to come. Instead, all I'd received so far was endless hugs and cuddles, both women still crying occasionally at my return. It was a little different for Katie, as she knew I was alive, left feeling a little guilty that she knew but I'd sworn her to secrecy. Hannah and Emma said no forgiveness was necessary as they understood enough already.
"Where are we going?" Julia asked once we were in the car provided.
"I'm still getting used to calling you Julia in front of other people," I admitted.
"I think our old identities are dead now so you might as well get used to it." Taking my hand as I drove along, she smiled at me. "So where are we going?"
"An industrial site in the inner west. We had to be careful getting everything we needed into the country. Gun laws and all that. What information do we have on possible locations?"
"We're currently cutting out possibilities. We know they won't be stupid. They'll want somewhere with plenty of exits, a clear lay of the land, and where they will have the upper hand against the sort of force they'll anticipate facing."
"But there's a good chance they won't expect a lone operative?"
