The Soldier Queen

Back Again

MILES POV

“OH s**t, OH s**t, OH s**t!” I said out loud, pacing my office.

“Sir, is everything okay?” the new Rookie that I am going to be putting on the Gunwise team asked.

‘They’re not going to be happy. Not at all. Especially, not her!’ I thought to myself.

“NOPE, nothing is okay Evan,” I said. “I’m going to die. She’s going to murder me.” I mumbled looking at the clock.

“Sir, I doubt that anyone is going to be able to murder you here, no matter how bad of a situation this is.” He said acting all cocky.

‘Yeah, until she shoots the place up,’ I thought.

“Get Parker and Thomas to come to my office,” I said dismissing him. She will be at the airport in 2 hours. Time to get someone to go fetch her, ‘Just enough time to prepare my funeral,’ my inner voice sneered at me.

Ten Minutes later there is a knock at my door.

“Come in,” I said, not looking up from my files that are scattered all over my desk. ‘You know, she’s going to be mad to find out you live like a slob right?’ That inner voice snaps at me again as my eyes widen and realize that its 100% right.

“You asked for us sir,” Thomas said.

“Yes, I need you guys to go to the airport and collect her for me. She will have 2 maybe 3 others with her so make sure to take a vehicle that is appropriate,” I said. “A civilian vehicle Parker,” I added because I just knew that he would take the chance if I did not elaborate.

“Awww c’mon! She would love to be picked up in the unicorn sir,” he retorted

“Even so, the answer is no,” I said shaking my head at the silly nickname they have for the tank.

“Fine,” stated Thomas. “We’ll just take the puma,” he finished walking out.

“Hey Parker!” I shouted, getting his attention before he followed Thompson out.

 “Yeah boss?” He asks

“Give her this, she will need it.” I tossed him the phone as he finally set off.

I started frantically trying to tidy everything up. Now you might say I am being crazy or that I need to find or grow a set, but let me tell you this, this woman is the ONLY person that can make me cower. She made me who I am. She helped me when no one else believed I could do anything. So I thought back to that day I met her. To that day I became something again.

* FLASH BACK *

I stood in the gym getting hollered at and teased for my small stature and “beanpole” arms, ready to give up, just like I gave up on everything else. I came here to start new and again, people are being cruel. Just as I was turning to leave, in walked in a 5 foot goddess with hair silver like the moon and eyes so dark you can get lost in them like a black hole. With her was a 6 foot man with black hair with eyes and features that were similar to this goddess.

“Hey, mudak!” (ass hole) The goddess hollered at my tormentor as she walked to stand by me while the man went to sit at the weights, watching everything go down.

“Hey babe, this ain't no place for a woman,” the jerk said back.

Just as I was about to say something I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see the man shaking his head at me.

“Just watch this” he said with a smirk on his face.

“WHAT THE f**k DID YOU JUST SAY KHUYESOS?” (cocksucker) she bellowed, stalking towards the ring where he was standing.

“I said your place is not here, frau,” (woman ‘german’) he spat. Just as cocky as before adding, “Your place is in a bedroom pleasing a man.”

She turned to me with a smirk and said, “This is what you do when someone don’t know s**t!” Just like that her fist landed square in this guy’s face. The next thing I knew he was out cold, laying on the mat while she spit on him.

“Anyone else think a woman doesn’t belong here?” she asked, looking around, not waiting for a reply before walking toward us.

“C’mon, sestra. You only just got here and already you’ve knocked someone out?” the man joked turning to me holding his hand out. “Hey, I’m Malechai,” he said.

“Hi, I’m…” I started, only to get cut off by that melodic voice.

“…Miles. Nice to meet you, I’m Thola. I’m here to help you train,” she said.

With that I thought, ‘Oh great! They sent someone to train me because I suck,’ but it surprised me even more when she continued…

“I read your file and we want to help.”

* FLASHBACK OVER *

Coming out of my thoughts my desk phone started to ring.

“Hello?” I answered only to hear the panicked voice of my receptionist.

“S-Sir, I-I think you should c-come out here,” she said, making me slam the receiver down and rush to the front just in time to see her. Thola, knocking out some guy just like she had that first day I met her, making me chuckle causing all eyes to be on me.

“AND YOU....” she trailed off eyes narrowing in my direction.

‘OH s**t…’
