Chapter 120

The cycle continued. The Master Sergeant would let his men begin the interrogations with the stubborn Utopians, then when they were more adamant then they were to begin with that they were NEVER going to talk, then he'd step in, make them think that they were looking a ghost and promise that if they talked, they'd die last. They'd spill, then he'd cap them. It's not that he wasn't a man of his word, it was just that they had a million different prisoners to interrogate, and not all of them could die last.

As the prisoners spilled their guts, the Master Sergeant had a man recording everything they said. If they already knew the bit of information, he got a little rough, then he got new tid bits about the old Intel. Every little bit was helpful.

"Is the Master Sergeant crazy or what?" one of the men laughed as he and another man walked to the retrieve another prisoner.

"Not crazy, just knows the information he wants and how to get it."

"Why is it they all seem to be under the impression that he's dead?"

"Do you know what his name is?"

"No."

"Remember a little over a year ago the Utopians had a spy in custody and they were putting him on trial?"

"Yeah. He escaped and was allegedly shot in the woods as he ran toward what they THOUGHT was Disturbed's safe house." The other guy just nodded. "You don't mean..."

"Shh. Don't tip the Utopian scum off."

"HOLY SHIT! I THINK IT'S TIME!!!" Natalie screamed at about 3:30 in the morning.

David and Brie jumped out of bed. "You call for the transport, I'll go sit with Natalie", Brie said to David as she rolled out of bed.

"While I'm at it, I'll see if Danny and Nicole will keep an eye on the other four so we can be at the hospital with her while she delivers the new twins."

"I still say she's too big for twins", Brie called over her shoulder as she ran from the room." When she got to Natalie's room, Natalie was laying on her side in what looked like severe pain. "Natalie, I need to you talk to me, ok. On a scale from one to ten, how bad is the pain?"

"It's about a six and it comes and goes."

"Would you like a massage when the contraction hits? It will help with the pain."

"Hell yes, I want a massage. This shit hurts." Another contraction hit and she squeezed Brie's hand. "GOD! How the hell did you do this with four kids?"

"You'll at least have the option of an epidural. I didn't with my last two pregnancies. All natural." Brie rubbed her palm into Natalie's back.

"Geez, if someone would have told me this shit hurts this bad, I might not have considered it."

"I tried to warn you. This is a realm of pain that is not even fathomable by a man. They think that passing a kidney stone is akin to this, but no way in hell."

David came into the room. "Transport should be here soon. Have you been timing the contractions and all that, baby?"

"No, honey, I'm just sitting her massaging her back for nothing", Brie said sarcastically.
