Bludd frowned this was too easy. Where was the challenge in kidnapping children? This was almost like grocery shopping, even have a damn list. Bludd glanced up at Zartan; he knew the mercenary wasn’t enjoying this either. What a waste of manpower and talent. We could be blowing something up or something, he thought. Serpentor wasn’t a good leader but at least he never gave them an assignment this insulting.

He sighed the men had just finished loading the last child. They had been forced to take a couple of the nannies with them, since some of the children were quite young. Trinity had approved them to do so for the younger brats. This felt all wrong to Bludd but he couldn’t place why.

Duke frowned at the report in front of him, another officials kids kidnapped. So far that was well over 600 kids, at least from the countries that were reporting it. You think these people would have better security he thought.
He took another sip of his coffee and a name caught his attention. He promptly spewed it right back out. “What the fuck!” he said out loud.


The fourth name on the list was his nephews’ name. He swallowed reading further, even though he didn’t want to. He wanted to call his sister prove that this was a lie. Instead he read on, one of Scarlet's nieces, Bazooka's estranged son. Oh shit! Every one of his team members had a family member on this list. They even had some of the foster moms snake eyes had stayed with. He read further his stomach churning, who has them he thought. Then he caught the last line on the page, suspected Cobra activity. But they tried this before it didn’t work.

Trinity/Xenia turned examining herself in the mirror. The Egyptian themed outfit was fit for a queen. A queen I soon shall be she thought wickedly. Placing the Cobra headdress on her head to complete the ensemble. Now I even look like a queen she thought. “My lady, the cameras are ready,” said the crimson guardsman. “Good, I’m ready to address the world” she crossed the floor towards the camera. She could hear small isolated groups of children crying in the background. They would heed her demands or they would watch their children die.


She smiled to herself. The children of the most powerful families in the world were at her mercy. Wouldn’t they be scared if they knew I had none? Trinity/Xenia walked in front of the camera. “Ready when you are said the camera man.


She gave the signal and waited for the countdown to finish.
“4-3-2-1” “ladies and Gentlemen please don’t adjust your sets, I’m on every channel” said Trinity. “As of 3pm today I have with me, in my possession the children and wives of every nations leaders. As well as the families of the G.I. Joe team” she paused for effect letting the words sink in. “if you do not concede to my demands I will kill them,” she stated matter of factly
“In case you think that I am bluffing” She waved her hand at one of the guards signaling them to bring the young woman forward.

The Joes were gathered around the T.V. watching the super bowl, when she interrupted the transmission. Now they watched in rapt attention as a young woman was brought in front of the cameras and forced to kneel. “I’m sure someone out there recognizes this young woman,” said Trinity “ my dear why don’t you tell them your name?” said Trinity

The girl swallowed tears forming in her eyes “Please I don’t want to die,” she pleaded “Angie, Angie Sharp” she whispered “well Ms Sharp how old are you?” Trinity/xenia purred, “I’m fifteen” she whispered back meeting Trinity’s eyes. “What a sweet child" said Trinity looking again at the camera. She took a step back so both of them were within view of the camera. Trinity pulled a gun placed it on Angies’ back and pulled the trigger.

The Cobras jumped, they really hadn’t expected her to do it. At the Joe base there was chaos and outrage. Except for in one office, in there was only heart wrenching sadness. As tears welled in colonel Sharps eyes at the loss of his fifteen-year-old daughter, He dialed his sister's number, with shaking hands.


Oh my god, she just shot a kid thought Cobra commander. Even Serpentor wasn’t that heartless. A to top it all off it was a kid related to one of the Joes. Oh shit we are screwed he thought.

“Furthermore if any military or civilian groups attempt to rescue these hostages, I will begin randomly executing them one by one regardless of their ages, is that understood?” she said “I will contact you all regarding the nature of my demands, good day ladies and gentlemen,” she said ending the broad cast.

She stepped out from in front of the camera. She walked towards the slumped girls form “remove this” she said waving towards the body like it was a piece of garbage. The guard looked at her in disbelief. He could see that She was still breathing.
“What are you deaf?” I said get rid of her” she said, “she’s still breathing" said the guard “so, what get rid of her!” said Trinity “Mam, she’s a child, surely some mercy” he started to say stunned by her callousness.

Trinity paused mid stride did he just question her orders and ask her to show mercy? She turned the guard was kneeling beside the girl promising her help. How disgusting thought Trinity, her anger rising at this man for his disobedience. She slid her gun out of her waistband and shot the kneeling guard. He fell face down on the girl. She walked back over to the bodies placed two more rounds in both their heads and walked away.

“Now remove them both from my sight” she stated angrily walking away from the group. They watched her go in stunned silence. She shot one of their own. As if shooting the kid wasn’t bad enough. Thus began the seeds of rebellion.
