Chapter 29: An abnormal situation!? (Part 2)
“Dammit! Just go already!” Greg puts on the headset in the helicopter, “Ground crew! Relay to the control room that we need a trace on that video feed!”
“Already tracing sir!” As I put on the headset in the helicopter I hear the voices of many people relaying information to Greg.
Saunderson and I sit in the helicopter as its blades continue to spin just slow enough to avoid take-off, but fast enough that we could take off at a moment’s notice.
I sit strapped into the helicopter not knowing what to do… my arm hurts like hell from the vibration of the helicopter though…
“Okay! Co-ordinates set! Go as fast as you can in this thing!” Greg yells through the mic on his headset.
I pull out my phone with nothing else to do and start writing a list of important things that need to be done and remembered.
First. Destroy Ryan and everything he enjoys.
Second. Listen to Claire all the time, never keep an argument going.
Third. TBA
……
*Claire’s POV*
“Ryan… are you sure you should do this? I mean… doing this will gain no one’s favour and you will only be hunted do-“
“Shut the FUCK up! I can do what I want to do! If you can blame anyone, blame that FUCKER! He’s the one that stole Claire from me! Claire is mine! You have something to say about it!?” Ryan was yelling at the man behind the Camera.
Why did this happen? Isn’t this a little too far? I mean, he isn’t even going about this the proper way and asking me my opinion…
I’m scared… I’m so scared…
Tears have been falling from my eyes since they took me from my room last night.
At who knows what time, they broke through the window of the dorm room Logan and I sleep in after repelling down from the roof. They threw a modified smoke grenade into the room and at the same time, a man ran in and put a gas mask on my face.
Logan woke up but not before falling unconscious immediately because of the gas in the room.
They grabbed me and then the empty smoke canister before leaving the room. Another man was talking into a phone as I left and I only caught part of the conversation before they took me down the wall.
“He’s unconscious! What else do you want from me!? No! That wasn’t the deal! Fine! I want extra money for this shit.”
I didn’t hear anything else from the room as I was taken away. After removing the mask I tried to kick and bite them. A gag was quickly put in my mouth and my arms and legs bound.
They never roughed me up at all. At the time I wondered who they were… but now…
Help me Logan…
*Logan’s POV*
“How long until we get there, Greg!?” I yell to Greg who was nervously playing with his hands.
“Fifteen minutes. We have to just hope that they don’t touch Claire at all before we get there… or…” Greg looks down at a loss for what to do if they touch Claire. I had a plan for them if they touched Claire.
“Kill them all.” I say this with an expression calm enough to scare even Saunderson.
Saunderson and Greg look at me and then Greg shakes his head and Saunderson nods.
“Logan,” Greg pats my good shoulder, “Claire wouldn’t want you to have blood on your hands… You also wouldn’t feel too great after killing someone…” Greg smiles slightly, “Trust me.”
“Yeah.” I tightly ball my usable hand into a fist as I stare off into the distance.
Wait for me Claire.
*Claire’s POV*
“We have been hacked!” One of the people manning the equipment shouts as he backs away from the computer.
“I thought you said that wasn’t possible!” Ryan shouts as the ceremony was once again interrupted.
“We didn’t know they would be so determined! They found a small hole and just shoved a god damn grenade into it! It opened up out whole network to them! I told you we should have waited longer for this!” The man continues to talk with an almost pleading tone to Ryan.
“Fuck you! Out! Where’s the replacement!?” Ryan points the man to an exit of the church and calls for another person.
“He was the replacement! You need to calm down Ryan! This is still being televised!” Ryan’s father walks in from the door the man just ran out of.
“I told you to stay out of this you fucking piss ant of a father!” Ryan yells towards his father not caring at all.
“Fine. I will just sit here and watch, but just know that I refuse to take responsibility for anything you do here. From the moment you were born to the foreseeable future you are no longer my son.” Ryan’s face changes momentarily but returns to furious.
“Fine then! I will do this with the men that I hired! Continue you fucktard of a priest!”
Please hurry Logan…
*Logan’s POV*
“Reporting! Ryan’s father has officially disowned Ryan. He said it loud enough to intentionally be heard by the microphone. He is sitting in the back of the church!” An excited man relays the information to everyone.
“Great! Remove everyone in the Arclight family from the suspicious list and change it to hunting down those who have deep connections to the former Ryan Arclight.” Greg quickly gives his next order. “We are five minutes from reaching the LZ. You guys ready?” Greg looks to Saunderson and myself.
I smile nervously as we start lowering the altitude to land as fast as possible. Saunderson finally puts away his phone and smiles
“I have managed to secure the missing manpower! A chopper has departed from the nearest location and they shall arrive thirty seconds before us via parachute, so I declare!” Saunderson and I high five.
“Fantastic!” Greg happily cheers into the mic. “Now Logan. Your role is the most dangerous, as we want you to highlight this rescue… despite the danger, and you also have a handicap. However, we’ve gone through it, you should know it. Did you come up with a mission name?”
“Yep,” I smile slightly “Operation Crush and Rescue!”
“Sounds poorly planned out, but, good enough for now!” Greg smiles as the helicopter nears the church.
Who would have thought that Ryan would take over the same church that Claire and I got married in.
*Claire’s POV*
“Hurry the fuck up!”
“Sorry sir… but you are the one that asked for a proper marriage.” The old priest makes a depressed face as he shakes his head.
“Who the fuck cares anymore!? Just hurry and finish so I can leave here with my wife!” Ryan yells louder…
I’m so scared… he looks at me with those perverted eyes constantly and makes me want to cry. Why is this happening to me?
Why?
“Okay sir… You may now k-“
“OBJECTION!” My eyes widen as I see Logan walk into the room, “I mean, I refuse to let this go on any longer!”
*Logan’s POV*
“Greg! Let’s hurry!” I unbuckle myself from the helicopter before we even completely land on the ground.
“Wait! At least remember to roll when you land! Take this too!” Greg tosses me a walkie talkie and gives me a quick salute.
I nod as I jump out of the helicopter that was still ten meters above the ground.
Below was a soft-ish landing target so I will take advantage! I jump down and land on one of the guards that had become surprised at the helicopter trying to land directly in front of them.
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
I land with my feet on his shoulders and roll forwards to diffuse as much momentum as possible. His legs bend at angles they shouldn’t be bending at as he is used as a landing platform.
After I stand up, several large men run around the corner to assault the guards.
“Logan!” Greg’s voice sounds from the talkie, “I give you six points for the landing, and those men are there to help you. Just keep going!”
“Like a few people could have stopped me!” Greg laughs as I run towards the church clearing the small amount steps that were in front of it with a small jump.
“Good luck in there Logan! You’re on your own! Cameras are rolling! Make it a good show!” Greg laughs as he yells through the walkie talkie.
I don’t respond and think about what to do if there are more guards on the inside… I can always take Ryan hostage if I am fast enough…
I near the church and from within I hear talking.
“Who the fuck cares anymore!? Just hurry and finish so I can leave here with my wife!” It was Ryan probably yelling at the priest… and heh… you think she’s yours?
I make my way to the final door, thankfully no one was guarding it. This was poorly planned wasn’t it?
“Okay sir… You may now k-“
“OBJECTION!” I raise my left arm and use my index finger to point in their direction. I can’t believe I finally had a situation where I could finally use this! I guess it is a little inappropriate though “I mean, I refuse to let this go on any longer!”
I see Ryan’s face go pale and Ryan’s father starts to smile. Claire has tears streaming from her eyes She was looking at me with an expression that showed she was truly afraid.
“Now then… Ryan. Any excuse before I crush your face with my working arm?” I smile as I raise my left arm.
“How are you here so soon!? I told them to poison you and break your right arm!”
“Oh, yeah, it’s so broken I want to roll on the ground crying.” I look at my right arm and smile slightly. The pain really is intense… good thing I have more important things to do.
“How are you here then!?” Ryan looks to his father that notices my arm. His father just looks away.
“So…” I start casually walking up to the front while checking the sides for guards… there really isn’t anyone… how unprepared is he, “I’m here… what now?”
“Fine! If that’s how it’s going to be you useless fuck, I’ll bring the fight to you!” Ryan pulls a switchblade from his pocket and opens it with no grace at all, almost slicing his own fingers off.
“Okay then…” I panic slightly at the knife. “This wasn’t in the plan!” I yell into the walkie talkie as I start to turn around and run with Ryan chasing me with a knife.
“Fuck! He really doesn’t want you around… okay then… new plan… throw the walkie talkie at him and run up to him and tackle him to the ground. Make sure to take the knife away before you do anything… check him for more… and for the love of everything holy, don’t stab him in the church.” Greg makes a weak laugh after he is done talking.
So… throw the walkie talkie at him and charge after I hit him…
Here goes nothing!
“Hah!” I throw the walkie talkie using my left arm and hit him square in the forehead.
While Ryan was caught off guard, I kick the blade out of his hand and spin once more to kick him in the side of his head.
An audible cracking is heard in the silent room and Ryan stays on the ground, not opening his eyes…
Okay, that wasn’t to plan… Oh well. It’s looting time!
I take everything out of his pockets. His phone, another knife and his wallet. It has a couple hundred in it… A finder’s fee if I do say so myself… and I do! I take the money and throw his wallet onto his head face. I give him a good kick in the teeth while he was on the ground.
I know the saying, ‘Don’t kick a man while he’s down.’, but he deserves way more than this. I’m just repaying the favour.
I use the switchblade to cut the ropes holding Claire… isn’t this blade a little too sharp? As soon as Claire is released she hugs me… but I never removed the gag…
“OW!” I shout in pain as Claire squeezes me. My arm happened to be caught in the crossfire…
Claire removes the gag from her own mouth and kisses me.
“I missed you Logan!”
“I missed you too Claire. I’m sorry I took so long.”
“You were fast enough. He never even touched me…” Claire looks at the unconscious Ryan on the floor as the group taking care of the guards, Saunderson and Greg all walk into the church.
Ryan’s father stands up and starts clapping.
“Thank you everyone for the good show. Shall I help clean up the mess my son made? My restaurant shut down because of him and I had to sell my assets to other families, I’m basically homeless and so is he. The best place for him and myself isn’t here…”
Greg walks up to him and pats him in the shoulder while shaking his head.
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll arrange you a house deep in the countryside… however, your son won’t be there for… a year or so? I want to make sure Claire and Logan finish school before he is released to the public again. Sound fair?”
“I don’t have a choice, do I?” Ryan’s father sighs as he is escorted out by a couple of the people Saunderson called in. One of them grabs the unconscious Ryan and throws him on his shoulder.
“So… what now?” Greg looks at Claire who was hanging off of me. “Should I leave you two alone… no, doing it in a church is bad… at least wait until you get back.”
“Father!” Claire’s face goes red.
Saunderson walks towards the camera and stands a reasonable distance from it. The person manning it had long since disappeared.
“We thank you for viewing this unscheduled programming. It shall now return to the world news, so I declare.”

Hello everyone!
I hope you enjoyed to conclusion to this little thing. Poor Logan, he will now need others to help him until his arm has recovered.
A lot of you also seemed to think rape was going to be a thing. I HATE anything that has rape due to some circumstances that will never be mentioned. So I will never include it in my story. Talk about it in the earlier chapters is about all I will do. It will never actually happen and I refuse to even make jokes involving rape. That's too far, even for someone like me.
Also, the next chapters are shorter when compared to the last few chapters, but you don't need to worry about that until monday.
Another thing to note is that I now have a donation button. Not really too sure how it works, but I think it does. If you want to donate, go ahead, but for now, I will not be doing sponsored releases. (Patreon why are you so complex!?) Money may motivate me and cause a bonus chapter to come out on weekends though (Maybe. That is not a promise.) Also, if you don't want to donate, don't. I'm fairly sure you can scroll past it.
Finally, I decided to post this as soon as I woke up, so if there are any things I missed during the quick proofread, please tell me so that I can fix them immediately.
Thank you.
Have a great day/night!
