And Brady would always protect her.
Brady looked her over and drew a laser gun.

Brady joined her and pulled the door closed behind them.
Brady started down the trail towards the darkness of the forest.
They looked barely able to hold her, let alone Brady!

Brady's voice was quiet and even.
Brady's tranquility steadied her, and she searched through the box.
She looked again at what awaited them and then up at Brady.

Brady muttered a curse, reached for his laser weapon, and fired at an angle at the ceiling.
The helo teetered, throwing Brady off his feet.
Brady, please sit down!
Brady, we're going to fall.
The helicopter righted itself fast, and she saw the parachute Brady had been trying to release by smashing his fist against the control box in the ceiling.
Her heart leapt as Brady was flung out of the helicopter.
She looked around, unable to see Brady or the other soldier.
Brady could've lost it in the river, but she should still pick up some electromagnetic fluctuation, if he was anywhere except the bottom of the river.
Brady hurt her, yet he'd been her only friend and protector.
For Brady, she told herself.
Brady's caution and Mr. Tim's words returned to her as her thoughts cleared with the exercise.
The woman was armed as well as Brady, Lana noted.
She couldn't stop thinking of Brady.
She wanted Brady back.
Brady's world was one of cold and darkness.
Brady relaxed, unable to clear his head or move his body.
Brady sat in silence for a long moment, thinking hard.
Brady struggled to move his body.
Brady released his breath.
Brady's gaze went to the window.
Tim cared for Lana—that much Brady could see—but Tim cared as much for his career and getting what he wanted.
Brady was a different kind of man.
Brady's stomach roared at the scent of real food.
Five men, from our unique pool of soldiers, Brady said, exchanging a look of understanding with the Undersecretary.
And you, Major Brady, need to eat all you can if you plan on walking out of here in the morning.
Brady grunted in response and dug into the steak on the plate before him.
Brady ate until he was too stuffed to eat more, his mind racing.
I need more than your brawn, Brady.
Brady nodded and stepped around Tim.
Brady didn't care for power, which was why he'd always gotten along with Tim.
His grandfather had an almost subservient relationship to Tim's, but Brady had left the shadows on many occasions to remind Tim of what really mattered when the politician's ego started to get the best of him.
Elise knows her better than anyone, Brady said with a glance at the blond woman.
Brady and Elise exchanged a grim look.
Brady's chest had tightened at Dan's words, and he felt fear for the first time since he was a kid in basic training and had his first brush with his own mortality.
Brady focused on the micro, trying to figure out where Lana might've gone.
She dreamt of what life with Brady might've been like, away from the war and betrayal.
She'd seen what the PMF did to feds; if not for Brady, she'd be raped and dead by now.
And Brady, who had been in both worlds.
Her thoughts went to Brady again.
The eerie hulls of burnt-out cars up the road had been creepy even to Brady.
Brady scanned the surrounding forest again, trying to figure out which way Lana had gone.
And that she holds the keys to the world's survival in her hands, Brady added silently.
Elise needed no other motivation than her friend was in trouble, and Brady hadn't yet digested how such tiny devices could collapse the countries of the world.
Brady started around the crater towards the southern route.
Brady pushed her from his mind, focusing on the deer path leading away from the condo community into the forest.
I gotta go, Brady said and touched his net to close it.
Brady belonged in the field with his men, and life after they found Lana was not going to get easier.
Brady brooded then dismissed everything to focus on his surroundings.
Brady asked, alarmed by the grimness of Dan's voice.
Brady almost sighed in relief.
Brady's attention shifted again to the forest.
Brady tapped his foot, frustrated they'd wasted half a day without finding any trace of her.
Brady waited impatiently as his friend manipulated the data.
Brady looked over the newest results then called for a helo to airlift them.
Brady and his team climbed in and were lifted up.
Brady watched the helo lift off then turned to the abandoned city.
Brady asked, gazing at the empty highway system on one side of them and the city on the other.
Brady identified it long before they arrived.
Something rustled in the back, and Brady drew a knife, entering.
Brady cursed and darted around the shelf, sprinting after the kid.
The youth turned a corner, and Brady followed then stopped.
People have expanded them since then, Brady added.
Brady reached the intersection and saw the tunnel running perpendicular opened into a crowded underground city.
Brady stepped into the bustling world.
Brady stopped and waited for the soldier to approach.
Brady's eyes took in the occupants of the underground world.
He knocked on the door briskly and opened the door, motioning Brady in.
Brady lifted his chin to the rest of their team, and they obediently left the commander's small quarters.
Brady asked, exchanging a look with Dan.
The way Charlie's gaze glowed at the mention of the reward made Brady uneasy.
Brady glanced up at Elise's hard tone, sensing she'd not yet absorbed the fact the government she served had splintered.
I think that's why they stuck you in Arkansas, Brady said.
Charlie's gaze was amused, though he said nothing of Brady's long look at the picture.
Brady began to recall why he never liked Charlie that much in the first place.
It was Charlie's seedy character that disturbed Brady.
The thought of his Angel in Charlie's reach infuriated Brady.
Brady studied the map.
Brady looked at her pointedly, and she crossed her arms.
One north, one south, Brady answered.
Brady signaled to the two team members going with him then looked to Tony.
Brady couldn't help the feeling that they were still shooting in the dark.
On instinct, Brady opened the channel to Lana's net.
She'd seen Brady thrown from it and no bodies wash up on shore.
Brady's voice held the gravelly note it had since his neck was injured.
There are … Brady went on.
Brady's comment made her stifle a laugh.
At the first drop of laser missiles, Brady had figured there was one thing that would make the fed jets target the inconsequential town, and it was Lana.
I don't think you called in this strike, Brady answered, looking over the flattened city grimly.
Brady, I don't need to tell you that there are more rats in the fed ranks than I can find.
Brady repositioned his weapons so he could help and began slinging debris away.
Brady was the first in.
Brady glanced at Dan.
Dan snorted, and Brady joined Elise as she held out her micro.
Brady turned to see his friend leading three medics.
Brady asked, reading the blond woman's face.
Brady asked the remaining soldier.
Brady couldn't help but hope not all elite security forces were as high-maintenance as this one.
Mike hesitated long enough for Brady to assess the civilian knew where she was.
