Their team had signed up for the paramilitary course her father owned and operated in Scotland. The same one she trained at. She checks their background reports and finds that none of them have any serious criminal offense except Becky. She was arrested along with several others for hacking into Homeland Security computers. She was never officially charged, but they believe she was responsible for the hack.
Their names had been run through Interpol and the CIA. If the CIA only knew her company had back-door access to their records. She had Mouse run their names through MI 5 & 6 records and they came back cleaned.
She sends an email to the Commandant of the training facilities informing him that she is sending eight new recruits to be trained. All releases have been signed and emergency contact information was recorded. She checks their passport information and all of it was up to date.
She enjoyed her time at the training camp. Sure, it was cold as hell when she went through, but she did have fun. She makes arrangement for the team to be flown to Montana. She figures since she and her father were going to New York and meeting up with Anika and her team. Why not have them fly with them.
She glances at the time on her computer monitor and notices it was getting close to the time she had to pick the girls up at school. She finishes making arrangement to have the Golden Eagle teamed picked up. She sends all of them an email explaining what they would be allowed to bring with them and how long they will be gone.
Once Gina was done with that part of her work. She gathers her purse and beef jerky for Cadmus. She looks down at her faithful companion
“you ready to go home, boy?” As she hands the beef jerky in her hand to Cadmus.
Cadmus chops the beef jerky and follows Gina out to the hummer and jumps in. Gina puts the hummer into gear and drives towards the girl’s school. She spots the girls standing and waiting for her. She pulls up to the curb.
Haylee hops into the passenger seat and hugs Cadmus. Cadmus tolerates Haylee hugging him. Alyona gets in first, then Arabella and finally Silvia.
“How was your day, girls?” Gina looks in her rearview mirror at the girls.
“It was fine mom.” Arabella looks at her mother’s eyes.
“Silvia got caught kissing her boyfriend.” Haylee was giggling.
Silvia blushes from her cousin teasing her. She didn’t think she would be attracted to someone after what was done to her.
“Haylee, stop teasing your aunt.” Gina looks over towards Haylee.
“Yes, ma’am.” Gina knew how Silvia felt.
She didn’t think she would be attracted to Arnold, but he got past her defenses and into her heart. She knew how Silvia felt and she hopes the boy she is in love with, doesn’t hurt her. Gina drops Haylee at her grandfather’s house along with Alyona and Silvia.
“Haylee, your mother will pick you up when she gets off work. Your other mother says she’ll be home in two days.” Gina knew Christmas had to fly out to Florida because her father was in the hospital from a heart attack.
“Okay, Auntie.” Haylee gets out and heads towards the house.
“Thanks, Sis.” Alyona and Silvia follow behind Haylee.
They watch as all the wolves on the porch and her little collie come running to her. Alyona looks at Silvia “I can’t believe all the wolves like her more than us.”
“Dad said she was good with animals. They seem to just like her.” Silvia watches as Roxy jumps around her human.
Arabella watches as her aunts and cousin head into her grandfather’s house. The wolves and the border collie follow Haylee. She couldn’t wait to get home and play with Trigger.
Gina takes the short cut from her father’s property, over towards her place. She pulls up next to Arnold’s Black Range Rover.
“Come on kiddo, lets head inside and see if your father has burned the place down.” Gina gets out of the hummer and head inside.
Arabella follows behind her mother. Just as she walks into the house, Trigger jumps on her.
“Hey girl, have you been good?” As she heads towards the kitchen where her mother keeps the treats for Cadmus and Trigger.
Arnold spots his wife and daughter coming in. The dinner he was working on was almost ready. A smile appears on his face as he watches Gina walk towards him.
“Hey, sweetie.” Arnold gives Gina a kiss.
Gina returns the kiss. She was happy to see her husband.
“Hey, you.” She hangs her purse on the stool on the other side of the counter.
Arabella heads upstairs with Trigger following her to her bedroom. She puts her backpack on the back of her computer chair. She changes out of her school uniform and into a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt with Wonder Woman on it. She grabs her fur-lined jean jacket and heads back downstairs to take Trigger outside.
“Mom! I’m heading outside.” As she slips on her boots.
“Alright, sweetie.” Gina and Arnold watch as Arabella heads outside with Trigger.
Outside the House:
Arabella looks around for a stick for Trigger to fetch. She had one left over from yesterday she was playing with Trigger with. She finds where Trigger dropped it and picks it up.
“Fetch, girl.” As she throws the stick for Trigger.
Trigger chases after the stick as it flies. She jumps up and catches it in her mouth. She has gotten bigger since they came back from Florida. She was half the size of Cadmus.
Arnold and Gina watched as Arabella played with Trigger outside. They had the security cameras on to watch Arabella as she played with Trigger.
“You know, this feels like we're spying on Arabella.” Arnold looks towards his wife.
“We’re not spying. We’re making sure she is safe. Plus, Arabella knows we turn the cameras on when she is outside playing with Trigger.” Gina stands on her tip toes and gives Arnold a kiss.
“I’m going to go and change.” As Gina walks off with a little wiggle to her walk.
A smile forms on Arnold’s face as he watches as Gina walks off. He liked the fact that they had gotten married and was living together. He was also proud of Arabella. She had accepted him and didn’t flinch around him like she uses to. He didn’t take it personally.
Gina explained what happened to her and was asked not to take it personally. He works on getting dinner and looks up when he hears the front door open. Cadmus had looked up from his pillow when Arabella and Trigger came walking in.
Tammy Beck’s house, San Diego, California:
Tammy looks down into her boyfriend's eyes as she rode him. Normally, she would be the one handcuffed and spread eagle to the bedpost. However, today she wanted control and talked her boyfriend into letting her handcuff him to the bedpost.
Jason looks up into Tammy’s eyes as she bounced up and down on him. He loved watching her breasts bounce as she rode him. He couldn’t get over how sexually active she was. He didn’t mind trying some of the things she wanted too.
He came home early and found her dancing around in the nude. She had the music turned up loud and her eyes closed as she danced. She was only a little surprised to see him when she opened her eyes.
The next thing he knew, she was on him and taking his clothes off. He managed to get her to stop for a few minutes and move the lovemaking to their bedroom. She managed to talk him into letting her handcuff him to the bed.
They continue for the next twenty to thirty minutes. Tammy collapses on top of his chest. She was hot, sweaty and sore from bouncing up and down on Jason. She had unlocked the handcuffs restraining Jason arms.
Jason wraps his arms around Tammy and holds her against his sweat-soaked body. He rubs her back and kisses her forehead.
“Are you satisfied?” As he rubs her spine.
“Oh, yes.” Tammy looks up and kisses Jason’s chin.
She wiggles free from his arms and gets up off the bed. She opens the bottle of wine they kept in the bedroom and pours herself a glass and a glass for Jason.
As she hands the glass to Jason “our team is going on a training exercise and we’ll be gone for sixteen weeks.”
Jason nearly spits the wine out of his nose. He looks at Tammy “you’re going to be gone for sixteen weeks? Where are you going and who is providing the training?”
“I and my team are going to Scotland and the company providing the training is called Cerberus Private Security Contractor. Since you and everyone else feel me and my team shouldn’t be out stopping bank robberies. We got together and decided to get extra training and maybe join Cerberus as employees.” Tammy finishes off her wine.
“Why Scotland and what do you know about this company?” Jason gets out of bed and walks over to Tammy.
“Scotland is where the training facilities are, and Cerberus Private Security Contractors are well established and has a very good reputation. Stanley did some digging around and found out that the company is owned by a company named Chaos Armory. They have several government contracts with England, Ireland and a few other European countries.” Tammy couldn’t believe what Stanley found.
“All that could had been made-up.” Jason was suspicious about the company.
“Well if it is made-up. They are sending a private plane out to pick me and my friend’s up.” Tammy shows Jason the email she got from the company.
Jason reads it and grabs his cellphone and calls a friend of his at the office. He listens as they research the company. He looks at Tammy as she stood nearby and sip on her third glass of wine.
Tammy looks at her boyfriend as she sips her glass of wine. She was only paying half attention to what Jason was doing. Stanley had already done a background check on the company. The President of the Armor company and the owner of the Private Security company was a Gina Bounty. Her picture was on the company website. The email she received this afternoon was from her as well.
Tammy takes the empty wine bottle and walks into the kitchen to retrieve another bottle. She was going to miss this for sixteen weeks. That’s not counting if they will have a job waiting for them once they graduate.
She grabs another bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and opens it. She pours herself another glass. Just as she takes a sip from her fourth glass of wine, Jason comes walking in.
Jason had gotten the information he needed from his friend at the office and went looking for Tammy. He found her in the kitchen opening another bottle of wine they had bought the other day.
“Aren’t you hitting the bottle a little hard?” As he puts the cork back into the bottle.
“Maybe, but then again, I won’t have access to any wine, liquor or beer for sixteen weeks. So, I want to get in as much as I can.” Tammy licks her lips as she looks at Jason.
She walks up and starts kissing Jason. They end up going back to the bedroom and going at it like rabbits They finally end up falling asleep in each other’s arms.
Departure Day 0500hrs., Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, San Diego, California:
Tammy looks at all her teammates as they stood around waiting for the private plane, they were told was coming for them. Most of them weren’t fully awake yet.
“Are you sure that were supposed to be here?” Dave looks towards Tammy for an answer.
“I sent you a copy of the email I got, Dave.” Tammy takes a sip of her coffee.
“I think this is our plane.” Stanley had been watching for their plane.
“Good, I need some more shut eye.” Becky covers up a yawn.
The Lear Jet that just landed and was pulling up to them, come to a stop. A fuel truck pulls up to it and starts refueling. The door opens and a woman wearing a white short sleeve shirt and black dress pants with red hair exist the plane. She walks over towards Tammy and her friends.
“Hi, I’m Patricia and I’ll be your pilot. Let’s go ahead and get your bags and gear loaded onto the plane.” Patricia escorts Tammy and her team to the plane.
“Here, we’ll help you load the plane.” David and Greg give Patricia a hand loading the plane.
Once the plane was fueled and load. Patricia shuts the door and looks towards everyone.
“We have one more stop to make. So, make yourself comfortable. There are refreshments on the plane if you would like a snack or coffee refill. Also, there is a bathroom at the rear of the plane.” Patricia was told to pick these people up first and then fly to pick Jack and Gina up.
Tammy and Stanley couldn’t believe this. They were going to stop and pick-up someone else up.
“I’m going to get some shut eye.” Zak finds a nice comfortable spot and closes his eyes.
Greg pulls out a crossword puzzle book and starts working on a crossword. Dave and David play some video games against each other, while Tammy and Stanley go over what they knew. All of them were looking forward to the training.
Becky curls up in one of the chairs and falls sleep as well.
Two and half hours later:
Patricia lands at Jack’s private airstrip. She notices that Jack and his daughter Gina was standing near the hangar waiting for her. The people in back look out the windows to see where they were. Tammy and Stanley notice they were at a private airstrip.
“I wonder who we are picking up?” Tammy looks towards the door once the plane came to a stop.
A few seconds later, the door opens and an oriental woman dress in a nice business suit climbs in. A few seconds behind her, a huge muscular gentleman with some grey in his black short hair comes aboard. He was wearing a black business suit.
“Well, hello. I’m Gina Bounty and this is my father Mr. Jack Bounty. We’ll be flying with you to New York. Once we are there. Patricia will refuel and take you guys to our training facilities in Scotland. Also, if you have any question on route, I can answer them for you.” Gina takes a seat among Tammy and her teammates as Jack heads up to the co-pilot seat.
Patricia turns the plane around and takes off towards New York.
0500hrs, Glenborrodale, Scotland
Drill Sergeant Winter had a gleam in his eyes as he goes into the barracks and starts banging on the trash can. All the new recruits that had signed up for training had finally arrived late last night. Some of them had only had four hours of sleep. He keeps banging on the trash cans until everyone was awake.
“Alright you maggots, I want you out in formation in five minutes.” Sergeant Winter makes sure everyone is up before he heads outside to wait for them.
Becky fell out of her bunk and onto the floor. She was still half asleep and confused where she was.
“Get a move on Becky. We signed up for this.” Dave walks over to her and helps her off the floor.
He was already dressed and ready to go outside and get into formation. He quickly gets Becky dress and the two of them are the last to get in line. Dave noticed they had a lot of people in their training group. There had to be at least twelve women among the fifty people that had been in the barracks with them.
He and his friends were surprised to learn, that the barracks were co-ed. That included the showers and bathrooms as well. As he is standing in formation, there were two other drill sergeants that they haven’t met yet outside with Drill Sergeant Winter.
One was a tall African American woman that was fairly built. She looked like she played American football or something. The other drill sergeant was an Asian guy that looked to be in his late forties or fifties, maybe. He looked like someone you didn’t want to mess with.
They are led through warm-up exercises consisted of jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups and finally into a five-mile run. By the time the group got back. They were shown how to stretched to cool down.
Becky looks over at her teammates to see how they were doing. She knew Tammy wouldn’t be bothered by the running. Neither was Stanley, but Dave and Greg were like her, exhausted. The rest of her friends were so-so.
Tammy spots Dave, and Greg laying on the cold ground “get up guys. Laying down isn’t helping you.”
“But were exhausted, Tammy.” Dave moves slowly as he gets up.
“She’s right, guys.” Becky comes walking over. She was a little paler than she normally was
“Are you alright, Becky?” Tammy was concerned about her friend.
“I’m fine. We better hurry and get breakfast or we aren’t going to get any.” Becky leads the way to the mess hall.
Tammy looks for some coffee, but the only thing they have is either milk, juice or yogurt. She spots they have egg, bacon, hash browns, toast, fruit, and porridge.
“What? No coffee?” Tammy wanted a cup of coffee.
“Not here young lady. Not till you finish the course. Now, get your breakfast.” Captain Burghoff had spotted the new recruits standing around talking.
“Yes, sir.” As Tammy and her group grab their food and head towards a table.
“Well, well, well. It looks like the youngsters have finally joined us.” Oliver Jones had been observing the youngsters since they arrived late at night the other day.
He wonders who had hired them or paid for them to come to this training camp. He couldn’t believe how young they looked.
Becky looks over towards the guy that spoke to them “better watch it old man. We can do stuff you old folks have never seen.”
“We’ll see how you kids do.” Oliver finishes his breakfast and heads out to the training field.
Casey was standing out by the gun range waiting for the new batch of recruits to show up. She hated leaving Leslie in the dark about what she’ll be doing for the next two weeks, but those were the rules her cousin had for the training facilities.
She watches as the group came down to her and her assistant. She had all the weapons laid out for them to shoot. She was going to see who the best shooters were in the group and see who she had to help.
“Good morning recruits. I am Specialist Holland, and this is my assistant Specialist Hickok. We will be your instructors for the next two weeks. Today, we are going to see how proficient you are with a gun. The guns we will be using here at the range are Glock 17. We will be doing this in four groups of twelve, with the last group having fourteen shooters. Now, I am going to choose the first twelve. Specialist Hickok will choose the second group.” Casey walks among the group and chooses twelve random people.
Tammy and Greg are two of the ones that were chosen along with Oliver and two people from his group. Tammy goes and takes the first position with Oliver next to her.
“You ready to learn how to shoot, little girl?” Oliver looks towards Tammy.
A smile appears on Tammy’s face. These guns might not be her XD’s but she was a surgeon with a gun. She couldn’t wait to demonstrate how much of a surgeon she was.
“All rules will be followed on my gun range. There are shooting glasses on the table before you. Put them on before you fire the gun.” Casey walks up to Tammy.
“Go ahead and fire.” Casey steps back to observe Tammy.
Tammy picks up the first magazine and slides it into the gun. She slides the slide back and chambers a round. She takes aim and fires the
Glock. She places all the rounds from the gun in the same spot. She drops the first magazine out and slides home the second magazine and hits the same spot as before. Once the gun was empty, she puts the gun down.
Casey looks at Tammy and couldn’t believe how well she did “Where did you learn to shoot?”
“I’m a National Match medal winner. I’ve won every year since I was 14yrs. old at Camp Perry.” Tammy had a smile on her face when she looked at Oliver.
Oliver couldn’t believe a youngster was a better shot than he was. He also couldn’t believe that same youngster was a medal winner from Camp Perry either. He vows that by the time their training was over, he was going to be better than this youngster.
Specialist Hickok had spotted several others in the group that didn’t need any additional gun training and figures they would be excellent cadets for the next phase of training. She walks up to Casey and leans in towards her “there is at least four more I spotted that could move on.”
“Alright, separate them from the group and let’s see who else can move on.” Casey didn’t want to waste their time or her own.
“Do you want to move the medal winner as well to the next phase?”
“Yes, let's see how good she is.” Casey found this interesting and was wondering how Leslie was doing on her first day.
“Alright, first group move back. Second group move forward and load your weapon.” Casey walks down the line and helping who needed help.
While Casey is supervising the next group and the reloading of the guns. Sarah removes the six shooters that had done well and has them stand away from the others. She wonders who from the second group would be selected.
Greg was among the first group that had been selected. He leans towards Tammy “you know, both of those specialists are cute.”
“True, but we’re not here to get boyfriends or girlfriends. You heard what the drill instructor said about relationships and what would happen if anyone is caught having sex. Its an automatic expulsion and forfeit of the money we paid. Also, did you notice the way specialist Holland and specialist Hickok carry themselves? I bet those two are trained assassins.” Tammy watched how they moved and how they were always aware of what was going on around them.
“Well, this is a paramilitary training camp. My question is, why is it here in Scotland.” That had been a question he wishes he had asked Gina.
A curly red hair teenage girl had been standing near Tammy and Greg and heard the question. She leans towards the two of them “because the family that owns this place are from here. Also, most of them are either British military or British Security Service.”
Tammy looks at the girl. She looked younger than Becky.
“How young are you?” Tammy couldn’t help but ask.
“How young do you think I am?” Sophie had a mischievous smile on her face.
“Fifteen or so.”
“Nope, I’m actually twenty-two years old. But my body hasn’t caught up to my actual age. Oh, by the way, I’m Sophie Ann Bounty.” Sophie extends her hand out to shake theirs.
“Are you related to Mr. Jack Bounty and his daughter Gina Bounty?” As Greg shakes her hand.
Tammy shakes Sophie’s hand as well. She notices that Sophie had one green eye and one blue eye.
“They are my uncle and cousin.” Sophie didn’t know her uncle was sending people to the training camp this month.
“Your uncle and cousin? How many are there of you guys?” Greg was wondering how big the Bounty family was.
“That is a secret, Mr. Davenport.” Sophie just smiles as she walks off to join her group of shooters.
“God! Tell me why I agreed to do this again?” Sophie was limping by the time they got back to the barracks.
“Because your family owns this place.” Greg was watching Sophie’s ass as he walked behind her into the barracks.
“No, I don’t think that was the reason.” Sophie takes her heavy backpack off and sets it next to her locker.
She shivers as the wet clothes she had on turned cold from the A/C turning on. They had just gotten back from doing a twenty-mile hike with an eighty-pound pack. Sophie’s feet were bothering her. She could tell that a blister had formed.
“Then why?” Greg takes his backpack off.
His bunk was diagonal from Sophie’s. Dave and Tammy shared a bunk and was next to his. He watches as Sophie strips down to her bra and panties. She had a nice figure and was admiring it.
“You know, a picture lasts longer.” Sophie was looking through her trunk for the small sewing kit she brought with her.
"Sorry. You never did answer my question." Greg watched her as he peeled himself out of his wet clothes..
Sophie finally finds it buried underneath some of her things. She takes it out along with a book of matches. She sterilizes the needle she takes out of her small sewing kit, by heating the needle with a match. Once the needle was sterilized, she pops the blister on the bottom of her right foot. She squeezes the water out of the blister.
“Ow! You know it's going to hurt later.” Greg was down to his underwear and was getting ready to go and take a hot shower.
“I know and I don’t care.To answer your question, I thought it might be fun.” Sophie has had blisters in the past from working in the circus.
Greg just shakes his head as he heads towards the showers with one of his teammates. He wasn’t sure about this coed living arrangement the training camp had at first. But now he was enjoying it. He has taken a liking to Sophie and it wasn't because of her body.
After their first day of being at the camp and talking with her. He had found her interesting. After talking to her that day. He and some of the others from the group of people that had passed some sort of test with their handguns. They were moved onto the next steps, which was learning how to use various assault rifles. The ones they trained on were the Adaptive Combat Rifle, M4A1, Galil, Steyr AUG, Heckler & Koch G36 and the AK-47.
They spent a week learning about the advantages and disadvantages of each weapon and how they worked. They also learned how to clean and maintain the assault rifle they had chosen for themselves. Greg knew from his father that the US military used the M4A1 and the M16.
He spoke with Tammy since she was second in charge on which weapon, they were going to use the most. Tammy said that from the selection they had before them, they were going to go with the M4A1.
Members from their group were going to go with the M4A1. The rest of their group managed to join them later that day. Sophie had been the last one to join their special group. Specialist Holland and Specialist Hickok trained them the proper way of using their weapon and a few other things about the weapons they had chosen.
The rest of that week they learned how to use grenade launchers and sniping rifles. Tammy and Stanley proved they were extremely good with the sniping rifle they were using. They were taken to a building that had been set up to train them on how to properly enter and clear a place. Once they were familiar with how to do one. They were taken to another one and shown how to enter and clear that one as well.
They were shown several different ways to enter and clear places. There was a bus, a full fledged passenger and cargo aircraft that they had been taken to. A standard boat and finally a cargo ship.
They were tested by another instructor to see who could swim and who couldn’t swim. The ones that could swim were taken to another building and we're getting additional training. Those that needed to be trained, learned how to swim.
Those that were getting specialized training in the water, were being put in difficult situations. The situations changed after two days. Tammy did fine in the water, because of her father’s training. The rest of her group needed extra training. Sophie trained with the other members of the group.
During the building training, they learned Sophie was good with heights and laser grids. She was extremely agile and flexible. She had no problem getting through them. As for heights, the higher the better. She loved high places.
After Greg and several members of his team headed into the showers, Sophie comes walking in and joins them. Normally, the women in the training group stuck together while they were showering. Some of the women, when they saw the men gawking at them. They would put on a little show in the shower but stopping before it got too serious.
Two people had already been sent packing because they broke a couple of the rules. No one knew exactly what rules had been broken, but all of them had been called out to the field. The ones that broke the rules were paraded out in front of them and beaten before they were carried off the field.
Becky walks over to Stanley with a slight limp. She twisted her ankle the other day during their ground jump training. They were slowly building up to the point where they would be jumping from the jump tower on the base. Her team members, except her, had gone jumping out of an airplane before they came to the training camp. She had a family function she had to attend and couldn’t get out of.
“What’s up, Becky?” Stanley had watched their Puerto Rican hacker as she limps over to him.
“What are our plans after we finished the training here?” Becky was curious.
“Well, from what Mrs. Bounty said. We might be assigned a security job, depending on how well we do here. Why do you ask?” Stanley was
wondering what was going through her mind.
“I just wanted to know. Do you have any idea where she might send us?” Becky stood naked before Stanley.
“Nope, I have no idea. Why don’t we go and get dress. We can talk more afterwards?” Stanley was feeling a little uncomfortable talking to Becky in the nude.
“Okay.” Becky heads out of the showers and towards her bunk. It was next to Tammy.
She had the bottom bunk, while another woman had the top bunk. The other woman had a Germany accent to her speech. She was here with her partner getting training.
Fiona spots her naked bunk mate walking back to their bunk. She had tried to help her while they were out hiking this morning. She knew Becky had twisted her ankle the other day.
“Aren’t you cold?” Fiona knew the temperature in their barracks was cooler than normal.
“Yes, but it won’t take me long to get dress.” Becky slips on a pair of clean panties and sweat pants. She also slips on a sweatshirt as well. Her breasts weren’t very big, so she didn’t bother with a bra.
She slips a pair of slippers on, as she brushes her wet hair. According to what their training officer said. They had the rest of the day to themselves. She was given permission to use her laptop if she wanted too.
Stanley was over at his bunk that he shared with his teammate Jerry. Jerry had the top bunk and Stanley had the bottom bunk. He had watched as Becky got dress. He didn’t feel comfortable talking to her in the nude.
“Hey Stanley, I’m going to the indoor gun range and train some more on my MP4A1. Do you want to come along?” Tammy had been told by the specialist that the recruits could use the gun range to practice if they felt like it.
“Nay, I’m going to stay here and catch a nap before dinner.” Stanley was feeling tired after the shower and the hike they went on.
“You’re lost.” Tammy grabs her rain jacket and starts heading towards the door. Dave and Jerry join her.
As they are walking by Sophie, they notice she was walking upside down with her hands. She was balancing a chair with her feet.
Jerry stops to look at her “what are you doing?”
“Practicing.” Sophie would have used the beach ball she brought with her, but she didn’t want to blow it up.
“Why?” Jerry was curious.
“Because I’m a circus clown.” Sophie tosses the chair up into the air and flips up. She catches it before it hits the floor.
She sets the chair back down on the floor and sits in it. She had a big ole' smile on her face.
“So, why are you here, if you’re a clown?” Jerry was curious.
“Well, I don’t go back to work, till May 5. I figure I would get some training.” As she flips up out of the chair, without causing the chair to fall backward.
“Well, you’re welcome to join us at the gun range.”
“Okay, let me get my rain jacket and change my shoes.” Sophie walks over to her locker and changes her shoes and grab her rain jacket.
Tammy, Dave, and Jerry watch as Sophie changes and comes back over to them.
“Alright, I’m ready.” Sophie’s rain jacket had bright color polka dots on it.
Jerry just shakes his head as they head towards the indoor gun range. When they step outside, the rain was coming down hard. They make a run for it towards the gun range.
They make it to the building and head inside. They start taking their rain jackets off.
“God, that was some heavy rain.” Tammy couldn’t believe how hard it was coming down.
“You haven’t seen anything yet.” Sophie takes her jacket off and hangs it up along with the others.
“What, are you from here?” Jerry looks towards Sophie.
“Actually, I was born in Romania in the Roma community my mother is from, but I hold dual citizenship as well. I have citizenship here in
Scotland. Mostly, because of my father, hence my red hair. I carry more of my father’s gene’s than I do my mother’s, but I’m recognized by both countries.” Sophie had a smile on her face.
“So, your mother is a gypsy?”
“Yep, she’s a gypsy and a circus performer like me. I followed in her footsteps.” As she follows Jerry up to the range specialist on duty.
Tammy requested her XD’s and the MP4A1 she has been assigned. When she and her teammates arrived at the training camp. They had to turn over their personal guns. Since most of the team used Glocks anyway, it wasn’t a big deal. However, Tammy loved her custom XD’s.
Jerry and Sophie request the M4A1 assigned to them and two cases of ammo, along with some targets. They get a pair of goggles and ear protection. They follow Tammy to the range.
Tammy and several others come walking in looking red as a lobster and exhausted. She watches as Sophie drag her backpack in. Tammy felt sorry for her. She had thrown-up everything in her stomach the first few days they were on the life raft.
“I’m going to kill my uncle Jack when I see him.” Sophie barely makes it to her bunk, before she collapses.
“You signed up for this program.” Dave was taking his bloody torn t-shirt off while wincing.
He had to fight a shark while they were out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They just came back from a two-week survival training course.
“He could have done it without knocking us out and leaving us on a life raft in the middle of nowhere.” Sophie strips out of her clothes and heads towards the shower. She was as red as a lobster from being stranded for two weeks on a life raft with everyone from Golden Eagle squad.
She couldn’t believe her uncle’s trainers knocked them out and placed them on a freaking life raft out in the Pacific Ocean for two weeks. They were given minimum survival rations and no radio or anything. If it wasn’t for Tammy’s training, she got from her father and some of the other guys. She, Becky and Greg would have died out on the raft.
The objective of the survival training had been to not only survive on the raft but make it to a port. A cover story had been made available for why they were on the raft without their passports or Ids.
“Here, stand still Sophie.” Becky sprays her sunburned skin with some Solarcaine.
Sophie moans when the spray hit her poor sunburned skin. She started feeling better after the spray hit her exposed skin.
“Here, let me spray you.” Sophie takes the can of Solarcaine and sprays Becky’s sunburned skin.
“Thanks.” Becky felt better after Sophie started spraying her.
“Hey, don’t use all of it up.” Greg wanted to spray his sunburned skin as well.
“Come here and I’ll spray you as well.” Sophie waves the can at him.
Greg walks over and Sophie starts spraying his skin. Sophie bonded with the team during their two-week training out on the ocean. He felt better afterward.
“We have the day off to recover from our ordeal.” Tammy and Stanley come walking into the showers.
“How did the other team do?” Dave was curious.
“They had arctic survival training down in Antarctica. They won’t do the ocean survival till next week.” Tammy turns the water on and stands
under the shower head as the water comes out.
“I wonder what they have planned for us?” Stanley turns the shower on next to Tammy.
“You guys will be either going to Africa for Jungle training or the states for desert training.” Larry comes limping into the shower. Most of the people in his team had dropped out of the training. He and one other were all that was left of his team.
“Have you been to either of them?” Tammy looks towards Larry as she rinses her hair.
“Yeah, most of my team washed out in the jungle training. I and Frank were the only two that survived the training. We made it to Angola,
where the retrieval team was waiting for us.” Larry couldn’t believe his other teammates had quit and contacted the retrieval team.
“So, who do they have you and Frank teamed up with now?” Stanley was curious.
“With the team from Germany. Were working out pretty good.” Larry starts his shower.
The group finishes their shower and head back to their bunks to get dressed. Sophie crashes as soon as her head hits the pillow. Dave gets dress and grabs his training gear and head to the gym. Zak accompanies Dave and several others from his team. He looks over towards Tammy before he leaves.
“Are you coming?” Zak was curious about what Tammy was going to do.
“Nope, I’m going to take a page out of Sophie’s book and catch a nap.” She covers up a yawn.
“Your lost.” Zak heads towards the gym.
Tammy lays down on her bunk and gets some shut-eye for a while. She barely got any sleep while they were on the raft. She lays on top of the blankets and falls asleep.
“Hey, Tammy. Dinner is being served.” Sophie shakes Tammy gently.
Tammy slowly opens her eyes and looks at Sophie “how long have I been asleep?”
“You slept four hours. Come on, the mess hall is serving Mexican tonight.” Sophie has come to enjoy the Mexican food the mess hall makes.
“Alright, I’m getting up.” Tammy climbs out of her bunk and slips her shoes on.
She and Sophie walk to the mess hall. The place was crowded as they walk in.
“I think everyone had the same idea as you, Sophie.” Tammy looks at everyone in line.
“Don’t worry, we have enough for everyone to get seconds.” Training Sergeant Lechon had sneaked up onto the two women.
Sophie jumps slightly when the Sergeant spoke. She just glares at Sergeant Lechon “don’t do that. It’s not nice to sneak up on people.”
“That’s why you are here. You are supposed to be aware of your surroundings, Mrs. Bounty.” Sergeant Lechon looks at Sophie.
“Is everything a test here?”
“Yes, everything here is a test.” As he follows behind them through the line.
“So, does that mean you’ll poison the food as well?” Sophie wonders how far the training went
“No, we don’t go that far, but you should be aware that some assassins use poison to end their victims.” He grabs a tray and walks through the line.
Sophie and Tammy go through the dinner line getting their meal. They head over to an empty table, while Sergeant Lechon joins the table where the other instructors were. The rest of Golden Eagle squad joins Tammy and Sophie.
“Well, I got the word. We start desert training next week. We’re going to Australia for our desert training. We’re going to be dropped out in Alice Springs and we have to make our way to Ghan.” Stanley had talked to one of the Instructors.
“Who’s our instructor?” Tammy was curious.
“A person named Lucas White. He’s going to be our instructor.” Stanley wanted to know what their next survival training would be.
“So, what are we doing the rest of the week?” Sophie was curious.
“More physical training and mountain climbing.” Stanley now knew who of their group were experienced climbers.
“Finally, something I excel at.” Sophie was happy that they were doing mountain climbing.
“You’re good at mountain climbing?” Dave and Zak look at her.
“I do tight rope walking in the circus and climb the tents poles. Plus, I’ve gone with some friends and climbed Moldoveanu Peak in the Fagaras Mountains. “Sophie loved it and enjoyed herself immensely.
“I thought you said you were a clown?” Dave looks at Sophie suspiciously.
“I am. I also do trapeze acts and tight rope walking. Circus people do all sorts of jobs.” Sophie grew up in the circus while traveling with her mother and other family members.
“Well, it looks like we are going to be counting on you to help us.” Stanley just grins at Sophie.
“No problem. If you do what I say during training, you should be able to pass.” Sophie couldn’t wait till they started training.
“How are your wounds, Dave?” Tammy looks towards Dave since he got hurt while catching fish for them to eat. A shark almost got him.
“I’m fine. I never want to come face to face with a shark again.” Dave fought to keep the shark from getting him and Becky.
“Hopefully, you won’t encounter one again.” Tammy covers up a yawn. She was still tired from their ordeal.
After dinner, Becky spends time on the internet, catching up with her emails. Zak and David play chess against each other. Jerry goes to the
weight lifting room to work out.
“I don’t know about you guys, but I’m turning in.” Tammy heads back towards their barracks to her bunk.
“I’m going to go and stretch.” Sophie heads for the gymnasium to work out and stretch.
Sophie stops by the barracks first to change into her workout leotard. The clothes she had on weren’t meant for working out in. She walks into the gymnasium and stretch before she starts the routine she normally does when she is performing in the circus. She does a few cartwheels, somersaults and back flips. She repeats the routine repeatedly.
By the time Sophie stops, she was sweating and a little exhausted. She just looks around the gymnasium as she catches her breath.
“That was impressive. Is that what you do for a living?” Master Sergeant Wright had spotted the lights on in the gymnasium and came over to investigated why.
“In the circus, yes. I sometimes walk tight ropes.” Sophie looks at Master Sergeant Wright. She knew he was of Irish descent and served in the
British military.
“Your workout looked impressive.”
“Thanks. I try to make my performance unique.” Sophie does a handstand on one hand.
"Well keep up the good work." Master Sergeant Wright turns around and walks out.
Jaxon Dundee watches as a Lear Jet lands at Alice Springs Airport. He had been contacted by Captain Burghoff about some new recruits flying in for dessert and jungle training. He suggested that he takes them out for a week in the desert and to the rainforest for a week.
Jaxon didn’t mind and the person sponsoring the people coming in, paid him good money to put his recruits through the wringer. He wonders how many the training camp sent this time. He waits for the jet to come to a full stop, before approaching it.
“Wake-up, everyone.” Tammy and Stanley had stayed awake during the flight.
The rest of their team had fallen asleep on the flight to Australia. Sophie was curled up in her seat. Becky was reclined back in her seat. The guys were all sound asleep. The only two people in their group that were still awake was her and Stanley.
“Do I have too?” Sophie was slowly waking up.
She was having a nice dream and didn’t want to wake-up. She sits up and notices everyone was still waking up. She checks her watch and notices it was 0700 hrs. She had adjusted her watch before they left for Australia. They left at 2300 hrs. Saturday night and now it was Sunday morning.
“Come on people, let’s get up and moving.” Tammy grabs her gear and heads out of the Lear Jet.
Jaxon spots three Sheila’s coming off the jet and five Bloke’s following them. He watches as they mob up.
“G' day, mates! I’m Jaxon Dundee and I am going to be your guide while you’re here in the Outback. I have some camels for us to ride unless
you lot want to walk out in the desert. Now if you’ll come with me, we’ll load up and head to my ranch.” Jaxon escorts the eight individuals to his SUV.
Sophie looks up at the sky and wonders how hot it was going to get today. She looks towards Mr. Dundee.
“Jaxon, how hot is it forecast to get today?” She did some reading about the Northern Territory where they were and would be spending a lot of time in.
“In the high 70’s today. You’re lucky that your coming during this time, instead of later in the year.”
“Why’s that?” Sophie was curious.
“Because out in the Outback, the temperatures can reach into the high hundred’s during the day. That’s why you were sent out here.” Jaxon takes everyone to his ranch.
Greg and Dave were watching the way they took to get to Jaxon’s place. As they got closer, they could see he had horses and camels.
“Mr. Dundee, how come you have a lot of camel’s?” Zak was curious because he didn’t know Australia would have them.
“The ones I have, use to be wild. We have over one million wild camels here in the outback.” Jaxon wonders what the government is going to do with them.
“How many feral horses does Australia have?” Sophie liked horses better than camels.
“Close to five hundred thousand.” Jaxon pulls the SUV up to the bunkhouse where they would be staying for the night.
“So, have any you blokes and sheila’s ridden a camel before?” Jaxon wonders how many he was going to have to train before they go out.
“I have.” Sophie raises her hand. She rode one when she was traveling with the circus.
“Good, you can help me teach the rest of your mob how to ride a camel.” Jaxon shows them to the bunkhouse to settle in for the day.
The rest of the day he shows them how to ride a camel. He kills one to teach them how to cut into it and what parts they can eat from it in order to survive out in the desert. He shows them how to save the skin.
Sophie throws up when Jaxon removes the internal organs and such from the dead camel. She had gotten up and ran away from everyone to upchuck what was left in her stomach. A few minutes later Becky and Greg join Sophie as they upchuck their stomachs.
A smile forms on Jaxon’s face as he watches them chunder. He was expecting the sheila’s, but not the bloke to chunder.
“If you think it’s bad now. Wait till you need to use it as an emergency shelter during a sandstorm.” Jaxon could tell the others were paying attention and taking notes.
Sophie, Greg, and Becky come back over and clear their mouths out with some water from their canteens. Jaxon looks at the poor kids. The younger of the two looks like she has never killed an animal before.
“If you want anything stronger, there’s some coldies in the bunkhouse.” Jaxon points towards the bunkhouse.
“Water is fine. What do you call the bathrooms around here?” Sophie wonders if they are called what she heard on Crocodile Dundee and
Kangaroo Jack.
“There’s a dunny inside and another one over there.” Jaxon points to a small white building that had Sheila on one end and Bloke on the other end.
Late in the afternoon, they go to a nearby pub and have a country and a pint. The atmosphere in the pub wasn’t that bad. It had an old style feel to it and the draft handles look like they had been there since the pub opened. Greg and Dave get into a card game with some locals.
A bloke challenges David to a knife challenge. David takes it easy with him, so he doesn’t lose too much money.
“No mate, I’m full.” Zak had turned down another drink from a patron.
Tammy and the girls were watching their drinks as well. The last thing any of them wanted, was to be drugged. They stay at the pub till late.
“Come on guys, we need to head back and get some sleep.” Stanley herds his team back to the ranch and into the bunkhouse.
0500 hrs. Monday Morning
“Wakey, Wakey everyone. Time to load up and hit the trail.” Jaxon was in the bunkhouse banging on a steel tub.
“I’m ready to shoot someone.” David and Jerry fall out of bed.
Sophie gets up and heads towards the dunny to relieve her bladder. Tammy checks the weather on her cellphone before she starts getting ready herself. Everyone does their morning routine and meet outside.
“You’re going to be lucky this week. The weather is going to be in the high 80’s.” Jaxon heads outside.
Tammy lifts her pack and head outside. Stanley is directly behind her.
After yesterday’s lessons on how to ride a camel and how to pack their things on them. Jaxon watches and double check them after everyone’s gear is loaded and ready to go.
“I suggest you wear your shades and hats.” Jaxon had his shades on along with his dusty tan cowboy hat.
“Good idea.” Everyone who brought sunglasses put them on.
Sophie comes walking out with a tanned explorer hat. It matched the clothes she had on.
You're going to be hot. You are better off wearing dark clothing or some sort of checker pattern. Also, if any of you have on white soaks, you might want to change them. The dust around here will change the color of your socks.” Jaxon figures they should know that.
“Thanks.” Becky goes back inside to change.
Sophie and several others follow her. They change clothes and afterward come back out in different clothes.
“Alright, lets head out.” Jaxon leads them out the side gate of his property.
Tammy and Becky were given Satellite phones to call if they wanted to quit. The reason Becky was given one, she was given a challenge by the base IT specialist to perform while they were in Australia.
They were only allowed to bring their handguns with them and their normal gear. That meant they all had their specialty weapons like their bo-staffs, throwing knives, swords, and whatever else they normally carried with them.
After thirty minutes of riding Jaxon stops at a hole in the ground near some rocks. Jaxon waits as everyone catches up to him. Once they have
“out here in the outback, the Aboriginal people have places like this where you can find water. Unfortunately, this water well is empty right now, thanks to the drought we are experiencing.”
Tammy and some of her people get off their camels and look at the dry well. It didn’t look deep when they first looked at it, but as they got closer. They could see how deep it was and what the water level is normal.
“How would we find water, say like in the Sahara or in the deserts in America?” Sophie was curious.
“In the Sahara, you’ll find water at oases. In America, you can get water from some of the cactus. However, only certain cactus can be drunk from. The reason why is because certain cactus contains high levels of acids and potent alkaloids.” Jaxon starts moving.
Everybody starts following Jaxon as he takes them to a dry river bed. He waits for people to catch up with him.
“If you follow some dry river beds or creeks, you can find places where if you dig down, you’ll find water.” He keeps going down the river bed until Jaxon finds what he is looking for.
“Here, see how green the trees are and this patch of green grass and wildflowers. If you dig down, you will find water.”
“Neat.” Becky was listening while working on the task the training camp IT gave her.
“Another place you might want to consider getting out of the sun is in the shade of the rock formation.” Jaxon continues until he finds what he is looking for.
They finally arrive at a lake late in the afternoon. Jaxon figures this would be a good place for them to camp and enjoy the water. He watches his group reaction as they get off their camel’s.
“Is this place safe to wade out in?” Sophie was looking at Jaxon.
“This lake is safe for you to wade in and drink from. We’re going to spend the night here. Just collect the wood laying about. We're not trying to start a bonfire. Also, other creatures and such use that wood.”
“Yeah, like snakes and spiders.” Sophie heard stories about how Australia has nine of the most poisonous snakes in the world.
“You don’t bother them; they won’t bother you.” Jaxon has only encountered a few snakes while he has been training people.
Jaxon watches as everyone sets up for the night. He pulls his swag off the camel and lay it out.
“Hey Jaxon, what are you having for dinner?” Amy made sure they had enough MRE’s for the group.
She arranged for her, David and Jerry to have extra MRE’s to take with them. She knew this was a survival course and they more than likely we're going to learn how to hunt and learn what roots and vegetation they could eat. She wanted to be on the safe side and requested extra MRE’s for her group.
He pulls out a can of Vienna Sausages and shows her. He was going to show them how to hunt and identify tracks of the different animals Australia had to offer.
“I used to like them when I was younger.” A playful smile appears on her face.
“Enjoy what you have tonight. Starting tomorrow night, you’ll have to hunt for your food.”
“I think I can do that. My father was a navy seal and taught me the basics of surviving.” Tammy wonders what her father would think about what she was doing.
“We’ll see how well you and your mates do.” Jaxon pops open the can of sausages he brought.
“When is it going to stop raining?” Becky was under a rock ledge watching as the rain came down in buckets.
Everyone had taken shelter under the rock formation at Uluru rock. Tammy and her group managed to reach it early in the morning before the rain started to come down. They had been forced to come by themselves, without Jaxon guiding them. He left on the second day, during the night, saying he would meet them at Uluru rock.
He had shown them what reptiles, snakes and roots they could eat. He showed them how to prepare what they caught. Sometime during the night, he had managed to sneak away from their camp with his camel.
The group had been surprised to learn when they woke-up that he was gone. He had left a note telling them, should they get lost or wanted to give up, to press the button on the tracker he left. The tracker was no bigger than a lady’s lipstick tube.
“I don’t know, but it’s better than the heat we have been experiencing.” Sophie had her shirt and pants off and was just sitting in her underwear.
All their boots were dyed red from the iron content in the dirt they have gone through. All their gear and backpacks were dusty and red. The temperatures had been in the high 100’s this past week. So, most of the team was enjoying the rain as it came down.
Greg and Dave were cleaning their weapons. Tammy, Stanley, Jerry, and Zak were watching the rain as it comes down. David was sharping their knives. One of his knives had become dull, so he was working on that one and three others that belonged to his teammates.
“Did Jaxon say when he would be picking us up?” Jerry was curious.
“No, he just said he’ll meet us here to transport us to our Rainforest training.” Stanley had read the letter he left.
“Maybe all this rain is preventing him from showing up.” Becky had accomplished the task she had been assigned by the training camp IT administrator.
“Well, I’m glad we don’t have to eat any more lizards for dinner.” Sophie had taken one of the MRE’s in her pack out and was enjoying it.
“Don’t bet on it, Sophie. We still have the rain forest training to go through.” Jerry was ready to get out of this rain.
“What training do we have after this and the rainforest?” Sophie looks towards Stanley and Tammy for them to answer.
“Arctic and mountain training. We will either be sent to Antarctica or the North Pole for training. As for our mountain training. We are going to Everest to help clean up the trash that climbers have left behind and helped bring down any frozen bodies of climbers still up there.” Tammy was looking forward to that training.
“Unless Mrs. Bounty has a mission for us.” Dave would love a mission right now.
He feels that they have proven they could survive and take anything that might come up. They had skills that most military or law enforcement didn’t. He watches as the rain slows down some.
Late in the afternoon, a big semi-truck with two trailers pull into the parking lot. Jaxon hops down out of the semi and over to where Tammy and her group had taken shelter out of the rain.
“You mates ready to head to your next grand adventure?” Jaxon could tell this group was weary and tired.
Greg looks over towards the semi and the trailers “are we going in that?”
“Yeah, mate you are. How else do you think I’m going to transport the camel’s and you?” Jaxon figures he’ll drop the camel’s off first at his ranch and transport the group and some supplies for a town up near where he was going off.
“This should be fun.” As Zak and Dave lead everyone over to one trailer.
Jaxon helps them get the camels situated before the group gets comfortable inside the other part of the trailer. He hops into the cab and drives them back to Alice Springs. The semi he was driving belonged to a friend of his. It was midnight by the time Jaxon and the group he was training arrived at his place.
“Why don’t you mates go inside and get some sleep before we head out tomorrow morning.” Jaxon takes the camels out and put them inside the corral to graze.
Everyone drags themselves into the bunkhouse. They didn’t even bother to undress. They just laid down on their bunks in the clothes they were currently wearing. All of them were tired and fell instantly to sleep.
0500hrs.:
Jaxon bangs a trash can to wake the group up. He wanted to get an early start, so he could come home early afterward. The person who was going to train them in rainforest survival was a person he knew very well and was a park ranger at the rainforest.
“What is it with people getting up this early?” Sophie was still sleepy.
“Better get used to it, Sophie. We will never know when we’ll be called to go on assignment.” Zak was up and ready to go.
“She does have a point, Zak. We only got about four hours of sleep.” Dave covers a yawn up.
“Look, people, we signed up for this. We can always drop out.” Tammy looks towards her teammates. She was tired and sleepy, but they asked
for this type of training. They were going to prove to everyone that they could handle anything that comes up.
Jerry yawns as he puts on a t-shirt that had their logo on it. He resettles his pack, so it is easier to carry. By the time the group is ready to leave. They were all semi-awake as they loaded into the trailer, they came in. It was going to be a long ride to the rainforest.
Jaxon looks at everyone “there’s been a changed of plans. We’re not driving to the rainforest. I was instructed to take you to the airport and you’re going to fly to Kuranda National Park. You’ll meet your new trainer there.”
“How will we recognize our new trainer?” Greg wonders why they changed the plan.
“Oh, trust me. You’ll recognize her. She’s a big ole Shelia with big melons. She’ll also be wearing a ranger uniform.” Jaxon has met her a few
times when he has gone to talk with her about the person paying them.
Jaxon takes them to the airport, where they board a sky diving plane. Jaxon talks to the pilot for a few minutes. Afterward Jaxon walks off to take care of business.
The pilot turns to face everyone “put your parachutes on. You’ll be jumping out once we are over the drop zone.”
“I wished I had my squirrel suit.” Stanley knew Tammy, Jerry, Dave, and Greg loved sky diving.
Sophie looks at him as she puts her parachute on. She wonders what a squirrel suit was. She has never seen one.
“Hey, Stanley. What is a squirrel suit?” Sophie was curious.
“It’s a suit that allows you to glide on the air current. Have you ever seen the movie Tomb Raider? The one with Angelina Jolie in it?”
“Yes, I’ve seen the older movie,” Sophie remembered watching both movies.
“Well, it’s the suits they used to escape from the building being built.” Stanley figured everyone has seen them in the movies.
“Ah, but aren’t they kind of dangerous?”
“For an inexperienced person yes, they are. However, me, Tammy, Dave, Greg, and Zak are experienced skydivers. So, we know how to use them.” Stanley has done some crazy things like skydiving.
The flight from Alice Springs to the rainforest takes them about five hours. Once they were over where the pilot was instructed to take them. He switches the lights in the back to let them know to get ready to jump.
“Alright, mates have fun.”
“I really hate my uncle.” As Sophie follows Becky and Tammy out of the plane.
Stanley, Dave, Greg and Jerry were enjoying themselves and showing off as they went down. Becky had pulled her chute and so did Sophie as well. They drift down to the landing zone they were told. There was a heavy-set woman with short brown hair, wearing a ranger uniform waiting for them.
Elizabeth watches as eight chutes drift down to her location. There were five blokes and three Shelia’s among the mob. She just waits as each one touched down.
Elizabeth looks at all of them “Welcome to Kuranda National Park. I’m Elizabeth and I’ll be your trainer for the week.”
“Oh man, I love it here.” Sophie was enjoying their training in the rainforest. The past few days have been nice.
“I know what you mean. I wish we had this the first day of our survival training.” Jerry finally secures the zip line they were helping the forest rangers install.
Jerry looks over towards Zak, as he tightens up the bolts holding the zip line. Him, Zak and Sophie were working together.
“Guys join us back at camp. Becky just received orders for us from Gina.” Tammy’s voice comes over their mikes.
“You heard it, people. Head back to camp.” Jerry twirls his hand in a circle like he was conducting a rodeo.
Zak and Sophie slide down the ziplines they just installed to the station they connected them to. Their four-wheelers were down at the base of the huge tree they had climbed to install the station and the lines.
Once they get to their four-wheelers, they head back to base camp. Once they arrive, they see all their teammates there. Becky was on her wrist computer double-checking their orders. She looks towards Stanley and Tammy.
“Orders are confirmed. We have an hour to pack everything up and be prepared to be evac out of here. The helicopter is going to pick us up, out at the entrance to the rainforest.” Becky couldn’t believe they were being called back.
“Where are we going?” Sophie was curious.
“To the airport, where the Lear we came in will be waiting for us along with all our gear. We’ll get our orders once we are on the Lear.” Stanley couldn’t believe they were being pulled out.
Becky had been adding the new zip lines to the map she had on her wrist computer. When she received a code 12 message from Cerberus Private Security. She double checked the encryption when she received it directly from headquarters. It was their new orders.
“Let’s pack everything up and head to the pickup zone.” Tammy starts loading her four-wheeler with the items they brought. The four-wheelers belonged to the rangers and there would be someone there to take custody of them.
Once everyone was packed up. They take the path back to where they came in a few days ago. Just as they arrived, a helicopter land at the clearing. A person gets out of the helicopter and runs over to Stanley and Tammy.
“We need to hurry and get you to the airport. Your plane will be arriving in about thirty minutes.”
“Alright, let’s get loaded up.” Stanley directs his people to pick up the pace.
They get the helicopter loaded with all their gear and themselves. Everyone looks at one another with a puzzled look on their face.
“What is so important you would interrupt a training mission?” Sophie was curious about why her cousin would interrupt their training.
“I don’t know, but I have a feeling, things are about to hit the fan.” Tammy was wondering why they had been called back.
The Lear Jet that brought them to Australia lands and once it comes to a complete stop. A fuel truck pulls up to it. The door on the Lear opens and a red hair woman comes out.
“Hey Patricia, what brings you to Australia?” Tammy walks up to her.
“You guys. I’ve been ordered to get you on that plane as quickly as possible and back to the states.” Patricia walks over and starts loading their gear.
Dave and Jerry give her a hand, while everyone else loads onto the plane. Once the Lear is refueled and loaded. Patricia gets permission to take off. She lifts off into the air and heads towards the states.
Tammy and Stanley make their way towards the cockpit. They wanted to know why they were heading back to the states.
“Patricia, where are you taking us?” Tammy looks at Patricia.
“Knoxville, Tennessee. I’ve been instructed to take you guys to Knoxville for some reason. Mr. Bounty said he would send instructions to your computer specialist.” Patricia didn’t get anything else after that.
“Guys, we got a message from Gina.” Becky just received a video from Gina.
Tammy and Stanley head back to the cabin area. Tammy takes a seat in a nearby chair. She watches as Stanley takes a seat in another chair.
“Alright, go ahead and play the video.”
“Alright.” Becky transfers the video feed to the television set on the plane.
“Good afternoon Golden Eagle Squad. You are probably wondering why your survival training was cut short. I am sending you to help protect some people that worked with me and my sister in Memphis, Tennessee. Half of your team will be on protection detail, while the other half of your team will be going with one of the owners of K&P Services. The ones that will be staying to protect his family is as followed. Stanley,
Dave, Greg, and Zak. The ones going with the owner of K&P Services are Tammy, Jerry, David, Sophie, and Becky.
Your mission will be revealed to you when you arrive in Knoxville. It’s important to me that you protect Mr. Paul Romano’s family. There have already been two attempts on his family’s life. The first attempt was on his children. The second attempt was on his wife. His wife is currently in the hospital in intensive care. I have a feeling the assassin is going to try again to kill her. Your job is to protect his teenage daughters and members of his team. All restrictions have been lifted. Use whatever force is necessary or torture if you need to.”
“Damn, I wonder why this assassin went after Mr. Romano’s family?” Stanley was curious about that.
Becky googles Paul’s name and comes up with K&P Services. She googles them “he is part owner of a Private Investigations and Bounty Hunting company.”
“A bounty hunting company?” Tammy looks over towards Stanley.
“Yep, a bounty hunting company.” Stanley wonders what he did to warrant an assassin after him and his family.
“Do you want me to continue with the video?” Becky looks at her leaders.
“Continue with the video.” Tammy wanted to know what else they should expect.
“Now, I know this is unusual splitting a team like yours up, but it is necessary. After this assignment, I will try to keep you guys together. However, for now, I need to split you up.”
Everyone could see that Gina was uneasy about splitting them up. It showed on her face.
“Now, this assignment will not be easy. The team staying to protect Mr. Romano’s family will also be protecting them while they are in school.
You’ll be working with members of his team and the local police force. I want you to fully cooperate with the police. Your contact with the police is Tony Butler. He’s a friend of their family. As for the second team, you’ll get your mission orders when you land. Your contacts are Deputy Marshall Bullock and his partner Deputy Marshall Running Bear. You’ll be working with them. Good Luck and be safe.”
The video stops after that. Becky brings up the files of each member of K&P Services, Marshal Bullock and Marshal Running Bear. She also adds recent current events.
Knoxville, Airport:
“Hey, wake-up Tammy. We’ve landed.” Stanley shakes Tammy’s shoulder lightly.
She had finally fallen asleep when they landed in Mexico to refuel. It was a nineteen-hour flight from Australia to Knoxville, Tn. Everyone was slowly moving around. Not only were they still jetlagged from all the flying, but from being on the plane.
Sophie slips her sunglasses on as she exited from the plane. She looks around and spots two SUV’s with a woman at one of them and a man at the second one. Both were dress causal, but she could spot their guns. The woman comes walking over towards them.
“Hey, Tammy and Stan. I think these two are for us.” Sophie had gotten her team leaders attention.
Tammy and Stanley turn around and notices a woman with brown hair walking towards them. Tammy noticed right away she had some sort of military training to her as she got closer. She noticed as the woman near. She didn’t take her eyes off the two of them.
Alexa and Luke received a phone call from Paul asking them to head to the airport to pick-up some people coming in on a private flight. When she asked how she would know them, Paul told them that there would be nine of them. He told her that they worked for Chaos Security and were sent to help them. When she asked where she was taking them, she was informed to bring them to the office.
“Hi, I’m Alexa and I work with K&P Services. I and my co-worker were instructed to take you to our office.” Alexa had extended her hand out to them.
Stanley shakes Alexa’s hand first “I’m Stanley and this is Tammy were the leaders.”
Alexa shakes Tammy’s hand next. She couldn’t believe how young they looked. She has seen kids like them in the military.
Tammy could tell that Alexa thought they were too young to be experienced agents. A sly smile appears on her face.
“Don’t let our young age fool you. Every member on our team is experts in their various fields and deadly as hell.” Tammy was proud of everyone on her and Stanley’s team.
“We’ll see about that statement.” Alexa wonders why this team was sent to them.
Patricia looks at everyone. She was tired after flying to England and from there to Australia. Then from Australia to here in Knoxville, Tn. She was going to get a hotel room and crash for a few days.
“Hey, can you drop me off at a good hotel, please?” She grabs her travel bag.
“No problem. I know the perfect place.” Luke opens the passenger door for Patricia.
“Thanks.” Patricia climbs in.
Alexa leads the way back to their office. Everyone should be there waiting for them. She watches in the rear mirror as Luke stops at the Marriott to drop one of his passengers off.
She arrives at K&P Services office before Luke does. Alexa looks in her rear mirror at her passengers.
“You can leave your gear in the SUV. I’ll be taking you to where you’ll be staying afterward.” Alexa was informed that the newcomers would be staying at a safe house Mr. Bounty was letting them use.
Luke pulls up beside Alexa SUV a few minutes later. He looks at the passengers in his SUV.
“You can leave your gear in the SUV.” He gets out and heads towards the open door for K&P services.
Sophie and the rest of the team follow behind him. She notices when she walks in that besides members of her team, there were seven other people waiting for them. She notices among them, one had red hair. There were three men that look like people you didn’t want to mess with. One was Native American. She had never seen a Native American before, except in pictures.
This one was wearing a business suit and she guess the way he was composed; he was law enforcement. The other man standing next to him, looked the same way and carried himself like a law enforcement officer. The other guy standing near the first two. He looked like he had some Irish or Italian in him. He was built like her cousin Craig.
She also noticed there were three teenage girls standing together. One she recognized form the briefing they had been given. Her name was Brittney Romano. The dark haired girl standing next to her was her younger sister Terry Romano. The older girl standing with Brittney was a member of K&P Services and her name was Crystal.
Tammy looks at everyone gathered inside the building and couldn’t believe why they were all here. She was standing next to Stanley as all of them gather around a rectangle wooden conference table.
Jackie had been talking with Marshal Bullock, Marshal Running Bear and Paul when the new people arrived. She tried not to read the guys thoughts, but it was so easy to do. When the rest of Paul’s team showed up. She felt anger, lust, protectiveness, confusion as they wondered what was going on.
Now, she was feeling more confusion, tiredness, pride, curiosity, and smugness from the people coming in. She puts her mental barrier up to keep from reading any more thoughts. She stands quickly and just watches everyone as they gather around the table. She saw there weren’t enough seats for everyone. So, she just stood near the front left-hand corner.
Paul couldn’t believe the team that Jack sent in to help him and his family. They all looked like they were out of college. None of them looked like they had any experience. However, he did read the file Jack left on them and was impressed by what he read. There was one, a curly red hair girl that was related to Jack in the group.
Once everyone was settled, Paul glanced around the room looking at everyone. The young woman standing to his side along with the two Marshals had asked permission to come along. He knew what the marshals were capable, but he didn’t know what the woman who gave him his wife’s assassin did.
“I want to say thank you beforehand for those of you who will be going to India with me. We will be hunting down who sent an assassin at my family. As for the others, thank you in advance for protecting my family and friends while we're gone. I know many of you have questions about what your assignment is. Those of you going with me, Marshal Bullock’s, Marshall Running Bear and Mrs.?” As Paul looks towards Jackie.
“Jones, Mrs. Jessica Jones.” A sly smile appears on Jackie’s face.
She had gone back to her Lear and changed her Identity cards and passport. She figures she’ll use her Jessica Jones identity for this mission.
“Mrs. Jones.”
Paul glances at Alexa. He knew he shouldn’t leave while Kat is in the hospital.
“Alexa, Luke, Crystal and Valentina, You guys will be working with half of the Golden Eagle Squad. They will be acting as bodyguards and your
back up while I’m gone. Girls, I want you to do everything they tell you to do while I’m gone. If your mother wakes up, tell her that I’ve gone hunting.” Paul could tell his daughters didn’t want him to go.
“Daddy, why don’t you let me come with you.” Brittney wanted to go with her father.
“Your better off staying here, Miss Romano. Where we are going, is very dangerous.” Tammy looks over towards Brittney.
“How dangerous is it, Mrs.?” Marshal Bullocks was looking at Tammy.
“Tammy, just call me Tammy. As for the danger, its rumor that the Thuggee have killed over two million people. We also have to be careful, because the assassins that belong to the group are known to ambush travelers or misguide them.” Tammy had Becky do some research on them.
“Do we have to worry about them attacking again?” Paul and Jackie were curious.
“Yes, if one of their assassins fail to accomplish their task, another one will be sent to finish it.” Sophie heard about them when she traveled with the circus in India.
Jackie took a look-see inside Sophie’s mind and saw all sorts of things. One of them was about what she heard about the Thuggee. She feels a brick wall go up fast, blocking her. When she looks at Sophie, a smile had appeared on her face.
Jackie just smirks when she looks at the girl. She wonders if the girl had some sort of training to keep people out of her head. Also, how did she know she was inside her head?
“How long do you think this mission is going to take?” Stanley was curious.
He wanted to know how long his people were going to be gone. It was bad enough they were splitting up.
“I don’t know, but I’m not leaving till I find who paid to have my wife and children killed.” Paul was still pissed off about that.
The rest of the meeting is spent going over what plans had been made for the other half of the team staying behind.
Stanley and his team take the rest of K&P Services crew back to Kats and Paul’s place to grab their gear and clothes. Crystal had Brittney in her car, while Terry rode with Alexa and Luke. Once the crew had their things and Kat’s place was locked up. They head towards the GPS coordinates Gina had given them for the safe house.
Dave and Greg were in one SUV. Stanley and Zak were in the other SUV. Alexa, Luke, and Terry were in the Terra Dyne. They noticed that they were heading to the outskirts of Knoxville. They pull up in front of a three-story brick warehouse. Stanley gets out of the SUV and walks up to the garage door.
The instructions he was given, told him to remove the fourth brick near the left-hand side of the door. When Stanley removes the brick, he notices a screen and watches as pictures spin like a slot machine. A picture of a wolf, a maid, The Cheshire cat and finally their symbol.
Stanley presses their symbol. He watches as the images disappear and are replaced with a message that says: Please speak passcode!
“Don’t Fear the Reaper.”
The garage door starts to rattle as it begins to open. He replaces the brick and waves the SUV to enter the warehouse. As the last one enters, he walks in and taps a button on the other side of the wall.
The lights come on revealing an empty floor. There was a loading dock that they could park in front of.
“We’re staying in a warehouse?” Terry gets out and looks around.
“According to Mrs. Bounty, the third floor is set up as living quarters and the second floor has a kitchen, living room and library and workout room. The bottom floor, which we are on, still have offices and this huge garage for us to park our vehicles.” Stanley was given a wrist
computer like Becky’s.
“How about the second two-story building attached to this one?” Dave had spotted a cover walkway over to it.
“It has a machine shop, an armory, and backup vehicles if we need them.” Stanley had a full layout of the place.
“Well that’s good to hear.” Alexa walks up onto the loading dock and finds where the elevators are.
“I found the elevators.” Alexa presses the button.
Crystal and Valentina follow Alexa. They wanted to see what the living quarters looked like. When the elevator takes them up to the third floor. The doors open and they walk into a hallway. There were three doors in front of them.
“Okay, who wants to open the first door, or do we want to explore the whole floor?” Crystal was curious.
“Let’s split up and explore the whole floor.” Alexa heads down the right corridor
Crystal heads towards the left and Valentina check the three rooms in front of her. The rooms had an electronic lock, instead of a normal lock. They had already been given the code for each room.
The rooms were rather plain looking. They were more like dorm rooms and with a few decorations, they would be nice to live in. She did notice that there were plastic packages with blankets, pillows and everything they needed to make the beds, sitting at the foot of the bed.
While Crystal, Valentina, and Alexa were upstairs looking at the rooms. The rest of the crew were on the second floor, checking out the entertainment equipment and the kitchen. They noticed the kitchen was fully stock already and had a walk-in freezer with meats and vegetables in it.
“Wow, they went all out in stocking this place.” Zak was impressed with the selection of food they had stocked the place with.
“How do we access the security cameras and such?” Luke was curious.
“According to the manual Mrs. Bounty sent me. You can do it two ways. The first is on the coffee table. There’s a built-in keyboard.” Stanley
walks over and looks at the table where the instruction said a switch was.
He finds it and presses it. The huge 72-inch television screen comes on and goes through a startup. The system asks for a password. Stanley looks at the instructions and finds the password to log in.
The system goes through the startup and finally shows everything within a five-block area radius of the warehouse. They could see anywhere within a five-block radius of the warehouse and enlarge the picture.
“Damn! I’m impressed. We can even see the cars on the overpass, next to us.” Luke liked the setup.
Brittney looks at everyone “what are we supposed to do while mom is in the hospital and dad is tracking down the people who came after us?”
“What we normally do, sis. If there aren’t any cases for us to work on. We go and do some bounty hunting. Mom and dad both said that’s our bread and butter.” Terry knew their parents would want it to make sure everyone knew the company was still opened.
“I don’t think that is a good idea, Ms. Romano. We were sent to protect you from any more attacks. We can’t perform our job if you insist to go bounty hunting.” Greg looks towards Terry.
“You have to understand, sir. It needs to be shown that no matter what threats come at us, we don’t stop doing what we do best. If this assassin wants to come after us, then bring it. We’ll send his ass to the graveyard like all the others who came after us.”
Brittney was surprised to see her younger sister so pissed off. Normally, Terry was the quiet one and didn’t show her anger. However, this was something new from her.
Dave looks at Stanley “well, it looks like we're going to learn how to do bounty hunting.”
“I don’t mind.” Zak walks in from the kitchen.
Luke walks over towards Stanley “kid the one thing I have learned working for the Romano’s is. You never argue with them. If Kat was awake right now and out of the hospital, she would be out chasing criminals.”
“I still think it’s a little dangerous. That’s why we aren’t staying at the Romano’s house. I know you have a business to run, but it is still dangerous for Brittney and Terry to be out.” Stanley felt that it would open, up a new can of worms.
“Why don’t we talk about this matter later. I’m going to fix all of us some lunch.” Zak heads back to the kitchen to start on lunch.
“I’ll join you.” Brittney heads towards the kitchen to help out.
“Crystal, Zak the bunnies are heading your way.” Greg and Brittney were chasing after two heavy set guys, that had skipped out on a huge bounty.
One of the guys faces was bleeding from Greg punching its several times. His partner had tossed Brittney aside like she was a rag doll. She had a bruise on the upper part of her arm from hitting a tree.
“Got you covered.” Crystal spotted the guys Greg and Brittney were chasing were heading right towards them.
A smile appears on Zak’s face as he watches them come closer to him and Crystal. Right behind them were Greg and Brittney.
“You take the other one. I want the one that hurt my girlfriend.” Crystal was upset that Brittney got manhandled.
“Don’t make this personal.” Zak starts running towards the other fellow.
Zak intercepts the second fellow and sweeps his legs out from under him. He grabs one of the guy's arms and twist it behind his back and slap
a zip cuff on his hand. He grabs the guys other arm and twists that one behind his back as well. Once the perp is secured "you should have taken the easy way.”
Crystal attacked the man who hurt Brittney. She sweeps his legs out from under him and watched him fall. Brittney and Greg approached him and hold him down, while Crystal cuffs him.
Crystal leans in close to the guy that struck Brittney “next time you hit a woman, remember my face because I will come after you.”
Crystal and Greg lift the guy up onto his feet. They walk him over towards the guy Zak had arrested.
“Took you guys long enough.” Zak had a teasing smile on his face.
“Crystal wanted to play with her bounty.” Greg had to admit that Brittney and Crystal were pretty good at tracking down their bounties.
“How long have you girls been doing bounty hunting?” Greg was curious.
“For two years. Mom and Dad pretty much raised me to be a bounty hunter.” Brittney remembered the night Kat saved her from a pimp.
She had just been arrested by Tony and was about to be taken in and booked. When Kat and Paul showed up with a bounty they had captured. Kat got Tony to turn her over to her.
“You do know there are other ways to make a living.” Greg was driving, while Zak kept their prisoner from going anywhere.
“Yes, but being a bounty hunter is more fun.” Brittney loved being a bounty hunter.
They stop at the police station to drop their bounty off. Zak goes in with Crystal, while Brittney waited out in the SUV with Greg. They were taking a chance doing this, but Tammy agreed with Stanley, after talking with Mr. Romano. She didn’t like it, but people needed to know they were still operational.
Once the perps were in custody, Crystal and Zak come out of the police station. They get back in the Sentry APC Stanley picked up from a storage warehouse that belonged to Chaos Security. Sammy, Gina’s assistant had sent him the location. There were four vehicles stored at the location.
They took the secondary route to the safe house. Instead of using the entrance they used the first time. They used the secondary entrance, which was in the other building. They pull into that garage. Once the garage door starts closing, Brittney gets out.
The other sentry was still missing. Valentina, Alexa, Terry, Stanley, and Dave were still out. Greg calls Dave.
“What’s going on team 2?”
Dave, Stanley, and Alexa were stopping a group of guys from stopping Terry and Valentina from arresting the people they came after. The men were wanted for spousal abuse, possession of drugs and possession of child pornography. The one man that was being charged with drugs and pornography had a female partner that managed to lure the kids to where they were shooting.
She enjoyed the shows they performed with the kids and some teenagers. She managed to escape custody and the law didn’t know where she was. However, they got her partner and were hoping to get the information from him.
How he ever got parole, they couldn’t figure out. It didn’t take them long to find him. He had just shot himself up with heroin and was high as a kite.
“We’re almost finished with our perps. We need to drop them off at the police station.”
Valentina spotted a suspicious person in the crowd. They were trying to stay hidden among the people Alexa and the others were holding back.
“Alexa, at three o’clock.” Valentina helps her perp up off the ground.
Alexa nudges Dave directs his gaze towards the figure trying to hide among the crowd. Dave spots the person but couldn’t see their face. It was hidden under the hoodie they were wearing.
Out in the crowd, Jill watched as the bastard that molested her and ruined her life was arrested again. She had managed to track him down to this location and was going to do to him, what he did to her. She wishes she could do more to the bastard, but she couldn’t afford too.
She notices that a man and a woman were looking over towards her. She steps closer to the crowd to hide. Her injured leg was hurting her. She watches as they put Willy into the armored SUV they were driving.
Once they leave, Jill heads towards the moped she stole and head back to her apartment.
Dave and Alexa watched as the person blended into the crowd. They help Terry and Valentina load their bounties into the SUV and head towards the police station to drop them off.
“I wonder who that person was?” Alexa was watching the route they were taking, while Dave drove.
“Don’t know, all I want to do is get this bounty to the police station.” Dave didn’t like the idea of them out bounty hunting when they should be laying low.
An hour later, he pulls into the safe house garage, but over in the other building. Once the SUV was stopped, Dave gets out of the SUV along with everyone else. He wonders who that other person was and why they were watching them.
Jill watches as Freddy tries to lure another teenage girl to his van. She hated the bastard and wanted to kill him. He was the one that had kidnapped her and knocked her out. He had taken her to the perverts that abused her sexually and physically.
She checks the stun gun she stole from a law enforcement supply store. She watches as a young girl was about to be suckered into Freddy’s lies. She walks across the street and up to the driver door and opens it.
Freddy hears his driver side door open, just as he was about to grab the young girl he lured to his van. He spots someone in a grey hoodie climbing into his van.
“Get out of my van.” As he goes to push the person out.
Jill aims the taser at Freddy and pulls the trigger. The prongs shoot out and strike Freddy in the chest. She watches as he starts shaking like he stuck his fingers into a live outlet.
Jill lets go of the trigger “where is she, Freddy?”
“Go to hell!”
Jill pulls the trigger again and watches as Freddy shakes again. She holds it a little longer and then releases it.
“Where is she, JERK OFF!” Jill wanted the bitch that hurt her.
“FUCK YOU!” Freddy wasn’t going to tell this girl what she wanted.
“Fine, we’ll do it the hard way.” Jill pulls the trigger until Freddy passes out.
She shuts the van's door and drives off. She knew a place where she could torture Freddy to get the information she wanted. Jill wanted that
bitch so bad for what she did to her. She pulls into an abandoned factory. It’s where she has been hiding out.
Jill stops the van and ties Freddy’s hands together. She spots a beam she could toss a rope over and pull Freddy up into the air. She goes to where her stuff was stored and grab her climbing rope. She heads back and toss it over the beam and tie one end to the bumper of the van and the other end to Freddy’s bound hands.
She strips Freddy out of his pants and uses the van to pull him up into the air. After he was hanging by his arms. She tosses a bucket of water onto him to wake him up.
Freddy wakes up when and splatter from the water hitting his face. He spots a girl in a grey hoodie.
“Who are you and why am I hanging up here in the nude?” Freddy was worried and pissed.
“I want to know where she is and if you don’t tell me. Well, we will see how your flesh smell while it is being brunt.” Jill lights a small propane
torch.
She brings it close to his testicles and burns the pubic hair off. Jill was going to show this prick what the two perverts did to her and the young boy. She could smell the burning pubic hair and screams from Freddy.
Jill steps back away from Freddy and looks up at him “now, are you going to tell me where the bitch is hold up, at or do, I burn more than your pubic hair?”
“I swear bitch, I will kill you.” Freddy looks down at Jill with a murderous look on his face.
“Nuts it is then.” Jill reignites the torch and step closer and burns his left testicles.
In the end, Freddy gives the location of Violet de Vere, just before he passes out. Jill looks at the brunt testicle and was glad it was cauterized.
She should burn the other one, for what he has been doing with children. She thinks about it and does it. He deserved it.
She waits till dark, before moving his body. She figures Violet wasn’t going to risk running into the bounty hunters again. She pulls Freddy unconscious body into the van and heads out of the factory.
Jill dumps Freddy’s unconscious body in the middle of an alleyway and heads towards the motel Violet was hiding out in. She looks down at her bag of goodies that she was going to use on her.
Safe House:
Dave was waiting for Brittney and Crystal to come out of a pool hall. They knew a person inside the pool hall that might know where Violet de Vere might be hiding. The person was a snitch that Kat and Paul have used in the past. He should be in there with them, but Crystal warned him, that the men inside the billiard hall were nervous around new people.
If Tammy or Stanley was here right now, they would have gone in. He glances at his watch and just as he was deciding to get out of the car and go in. Brittney and Crystal come walking out. Brittney was straightening her blouse.
As they get inside the SUV “what took you two so long?”
“In return for the information. I had to give the guy a lap dance in my bra and panties.” Brittney didn’t care that the man she talked too wanted a lap dance from her.
Her mother might have an objective, but she doubts it. Crystal made sure no one recorded the act, while she was doing it. She felt when he erupted in his boxers.
“So, where is this bunny?” Dave had started the SUV.
“Not far from the safe house. She’s at a motel that truckers go to, to have fun some fun.” Brittney remembered her mom and father telling her
about the place.
Crystal gives Dave the directions to the place. The motel itself looked like it could use an upgrade to it. There was a dark van parked in front of the room Brittney had been given. They park next to it and get out of the SUV. They could hear some moaning and screaming coming from inside the place.
“Sounds like she has company.” Brittney was ready to charge the place.
“Then, let’s go in and introduce ourselves.” Dave runs up and kicks the door in.
Brittney and Crystal follow behind him. They stop as they enter and couldn’t believe what they were seeing in front of them. They saw a naked young short hair woman with half-healed red marks on her back that continued down the back of her body. The marks went across her
buttocks and the back of her legs. Her right leg was bandaged up and some blood had seeped through, staining the wrapping.
Around the young girl’s waist, was an inch wide raw whelp. It had scabs on it, but it was still red. Her wrists had the same marks on them.
The young girl had a cat of nine tails in her hand and had been using it on the woman spread eagle and tied to the four corners. Her back was and buttocks were bloody red, and the bottom of her feet was bleeding, from what looked like burn marks.
“Put the whip down and step away from the bed.” Crystal had her gun pointed at the young girl.
Jill heard the door to the bottom kicked in, but she didn’t care. She wanted Violet to feel what it was like to be tortured like she was. She had done to her, what she did to her.
Jill steps back and lay the whip down on the corner of the bed. The front of her body was covered in blood. She looks at the man and the two women standing in front of the door with guns drawn and pointed at her.
“She deserves what she got.” Jill had a nasty cut that started under her left eye and went all the way down her cheek and under her chin.
She also had half-healed whelps on the front of her chest and it looked like her nipples had been burned off. Her nose had a piece of tape going across it.
“You girls watch her, while I check her vitals.” Dave holsters his gun and moves to check Violet’s pulse.
Brittney looks at the blood-covered girl “your saying she did this to you?”
“She and her partner that you captured yesterday. They did a lot more to me and the young boy they kidnapped and messed up. Then I have done to her. She deserves more.” Jill watches the man as he checks Violet.
Dave pulls out some plastic gloves and slips them on. He didn’t know what this woman had in her blood. He manages to find a pulse. It was weak, but it was there “she’s still alive.”
“Good, I want her to remember this.” Jill wouldn’t be happy until Violet was dead.
Dave looks at the short girl covered in blood. She wasn’t wanted, but then again, she did commit a crime.
“Go take a shower, before the cops and paramedics arrive. You’re coming with us.” Brittney wanted to know more about what happened to the young girl and the young boy.
Jill heads into the bathroom and steps into the shower. She wants to break down and cry, but she doesn’t dare. She hurries up with her shower and walks back into the room, naked. She gathers her clothes up and slips them on.
While the girl was in the bathroom, Dave looks towards Brittney “she can’t come with us.”
“She’s coming with us, end of discussion.” Brittney steps outside of the room and calls Tony. This was going to take his special touch. They have never encountered anything like this before.
Tony was just leaving the police station when his cellphone starts ringing. He checks it and notices it was Brittney’s number. He presses the accept button “what can I do for you, Brittney?”
“I have a situation that is going to require your special touch, Tony.” Brittney looks at the black cargo van blocking her view of the street.
“What’s the problem?” Tony stops at his car.
Brittney tells him about the situation. She didn’t want to get the young woman inside in trouble.
“Look, just stay there and I’ll be there in fifteen minutes. Go ahead and call the paramedics.”
“Alright, Tony.”
Brittney walks back into the motel room.
“So, who did you call?”
“Tony. He’s on his way here right now. He’s going to handle this mess.” Brittney looks over towards the girl standing near Crystal “what is your name?”
“Jill Castro.”
“Well Jill Castro, I’m Brittney Romano. This is my girlfriend Crystal and our associate Dave. Your coming with us, after our friend Tony, arrives.”
Brittney looked directly at Dave when she said that.
Dave just looks back at Brittney and needed to clear this with Stanley. He takes a snapshot of Jill and sends it to be identified. He gets a reply to the message he sent to Stanley His reply was to bring her with them.
Tony shows up, after the paramedics. He said he would handle everything and submit the paperwork for Violet’s captured.
“Alright people, let’s head back.” Dave gets into the SUV.
Jill, Brittney, and Crystal follow suite. Jill knew who Brittney and Crystal were. She saw Brittney and her sister on television once about a gay conversion camp that had been run by a church. And just recently, she saw them helping down at the courthouse someone blew up. They had been working to keep the crowd back. While her mother, father and a few others of their crew were helping the injured.
Dave heads back to the safe house and uses the secondary entrance. Once they were parked and the garage door lowers behind the SUV. He looks at Jill and wonders what Violet did to her and how she got the marks on her body.
They head over to the other building. Jill was following Brittney and Crystal. Dave was behind them.
Alexa’s friend Dr. Horton looks at the whip marks on Jill’s body. The cut on Jill’s face looked like it had been done on purpose with a piece of glass or something.
“What happened to the little boy that had been with you?” Debra applies an antibiotic ointment to the whip marks.
Some of them were deep and nasty. Whoever whiped this poor girl, did a nasty job on her.
“He’s in the hospital right now. I managed to get him there before he passed out.” Jill did everything she could for the poor kid.
The abused she suffered at the hands of Violet and her male partner were stuff she wouldn’t wish on her worst enemy. She winces as the doctor applied the ointment to some of the marks that were still raw.
Jill looks down at her leg and at the fresh bandage, her leg was wrapped with. Her leg was still a little numb from the drug Alexa’s friend had given her. She used medical staples to close the long gash that went the whole length of her leg.
Jill tried to use super glue to close the gash, but it hadn’t work. Because it hadn’t worked, the gash stayed opened and she was going to have a nasty scar there.
“There, all done. Try not to put to much pressure on your leg. As for the rest of your injuries, I’ve put an antibiotic ointment on your marks. In two days, you’ll need to reapply the ointment again.”
“I’ll make sure she does.” Alexa looks at Jill.
“Well, my job is done. Now, can you have someone take me back to my house, please?’ Dr. Horton starts packing up her stuff.
“Thanks for coming out, Debra.”
“You can thank me with a date with Luke.” Debra saw Luke once and loved how he looked.
“Fine, I’ll ask him.” Alexa puts a blindfold on Debra and leads her out of the safe house.
Stanley drives Dr. Horton back, where they picked her up originally. He was making sure he didn’t pick up a tail on his way back. According to Brittney’s Aunt, her mother was still out of it. He wonders why someone was trying to take the family out. What purpose did it serve? He pulls into the secondary garage and heads towards the entertainment floor.
When he walks in, he could smell that someone was cooking Mexican. He spots Crystal and Brittney along with Zak in the kitchen area cooking food for everyone. Jill was sitting in a recliner chair with her leg elevated.
Stanley hears his wrist computer beep, letting him know a file arrived. He opens it and notices it was about Jill. According to the file, she was from Chicago, Illinois and was considered dead. According to the file that came from Camelot Network Solutions. The police report that had been filed said she had parish, along with several students on the way to school. All the remains had been brunt so badly, that identification was impossible to make, but they did find items belonging to her on-board the bus. She also was placed into foster care, because the courts found her parents unfit to raise her and her brother. Her brother’s name was William Alan Hunter and had been adopted by a famous football player and his wife. There was a picture of Jill and it matched the one he sent to Camelot.
“Jill, how long were you Violet’s and Nathan’s captives?” Stanley was curious.
“A year and a half. They were arrested a few months ago and I have been looking for them. They left me and Teddy caged up while they were
imprisoned. I managed to pick the lock on my cage and found the key to unlock Teddy’s cage. I dropped him off at Chicago memorial with a letter telling the medical staff what happened to him, while I went to find Violet and Nathan.” It took Jill awhile to find someone who knew what happened to them.
Stanley made sure he was recording their conversation. He’ll check out the story about the kid.
“Alright, thank you.” He turns around and heads towards his room.
He knew Tammy and her group should be busy soon. The last message he got from Becky, was they were heading towards a village to help. Afterward, he lost satellite communications with her.
While he is sitting in his room going over the reports Tammy sent. A knocking sound could be heard coming from his door.
“Enter.”
Terry sticks her head in “foods ready. I hope you like Mexican. We made a lot for everyone.”
“Thanks, Terry.” Stanley looks over toward Terry.
“You’re welcome. I want you to know, I and my sister really do appreciate what you are doing for us. I know we are stubborn and compromise
our safety sometimes, but we have never run from anything, before. Mom and dad are people you don’t want to mess with. They have been bounty hunters for a long time and don’t take crap from anyone.” Terry knew her parents and what they were capable of.
“How did you and your sister come to be with Kat and Paul?” Stanley was curious about that.
“Brittney was the child of a powerful religious preacher in Memphis, Tennessee. The two of us were sent to a gay conversion camp that was run by Brittney’s birth father. The camp was doing all sorts of illegal things to the boys and girls sent there. Brittney had managed to run away and brought Kat and Paul back and freed us. Since my parents didn’t love me anymore. Kat and Paul adopted me as their daughter. The same thing was done to Brittney as well.”
“Didn’t Brittney’s biological parents fight to retain their paternal rights to Brittney?”
“They tried and Aunt Kristen tore them a new asshole in court. After that, Brittney’s father and mother left town and we haven’t heard from them since.” Terry gets a weird look on her face.
Stanley noticed the look on Terry’s face “what are you thinking about?”
“Well, this is just a guess, but we lost all track of Brittney’s parents. After the court case, they disappeared with all the money they had. I’m wondering if maybe they are behind the attacks on mom and dad?”
“Why now? Why come after your parents now?”
“I don’t know. Brittney has said she doesn’t want to have anything to do with her birth family, after what they did to her and the others.”
“Hhhmm, I think we need to find out what has happened to Brittney’s parents and see if they are behind this.” Stanley sends an email to Camelot to see if they could do a background search for them.
“Terry, Stanley, dinner is getting cold.” Valentina was sent to get them.
“We’re coming.” Terry turns around and heads towards the stairs that lead downstairs.
Stanley follows behind her, while thinking about what she aid about Brittney.
2330 Hrs. ICU Room 606 Knoxville General Hospital, Knoxville, Tn.:
All the alarms at the nurse’s station start blaring. The nurses on duty rush towards Room 606 and when they enter, Kat is sitting up in bed and looking pissed and confused.
“Easy Mrs. Romano, you’re at Knoxville General Hospital.” Nurse Sunmer approaches Kat slowly.
“Why am I here and why does my chest hurt?” The last thing Kat remembers is walking out the back door of her office.
“Someone tried to kill you, Mrs. Romano. We had to operate and remove the bullet from your chest.” Nurse Sunmer checks Kat’s vitals and the only thing that was a little high was her blood pressure.
Kat looks around the room she was in and saw balloons, plants, and plushies sitting around the room. She could see from the way they were arranged, it had her older sisters touch to them.
“I want to call my kids when you're done.” Kat wanted to talk to her girls and husband.
“Let me get all your vitals taken care of and you can call your husband and children.” Sunmer makes sure she gets all Kat’s vitals taken care of.
Kat watches as nurse Sunmer check everything. She was worried about her children and husband.
“Your cellphone is in the drawer next to your bed. Your sister made sure it was charged.”
“Thank you.” Kat reaches over and takes her cellphone out.
She checks it and noticed it was fully charged. Kat enters her code to unlock it and speed dial Paul’s number. It rings several times but then goes straight to voice mode.
“Paul, it's me. I am awake and want to know what is going on. Love you, Kat.” Kat ends the call.
Kat speeds dials Brittney’s cellphone. She hopes her children are alright. She was worried about the twins the most.
Safe House:
Brittney was cuddled up with Crystal in bed when her cellphone starts playing Eye of theTiger. The song it was playing was the one she assigned to her mother’s number. She reaches over Crystal’s sleeping from and grabs her cellphone.
“Hello?” Brittney sits up in bed.
“Brit, are you and your siblings safe and okay?”
“We’re safe, momma. Are you feeling better?” Brittney gets out of bed and starts getting dress.
Crystal wakes up when she hears Brittney’s voice and when she gets up out of her bed. She gets out of bed as well and starts getting dress.
“I tried calling your father, but he didn’t answer. How are the twins?” Kat hated being in hospital.
“They are safe, mom. They’re still with Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Ben in Kansas. As for dad, he’s in India chasing down an assassin clan.”
Brittney spoke to her aunt and uncle the other day.
“Why is your father in India?” Kat thought she heard her daughter said Paul was in India.
“He’s in India, mom. Look, I and Crystal are on our way down to you. We’ll be there in twenty minutes.” Brittney tucks her gun behind her back.
“Alright.” Kat ends the call.
When Crystal and Brittney exit their room and was heading towards the garage. They are stopped by Dave.
“Where do you ladies think you're going?” Dave had spotted them heading towards the garage.
“My mother is awake and were heading to the hospital.”
“Well, I can’t let you go by yourselves.”
Brittney and Crystal were about to complain.
“Look, it's against the rules. Let me wake Zak and we’ll come with you.”
“Hurry up.” Brittney wanted to get to her mother.
While they waited for Dave to return, Brittney goes and grab Terry. She knows her little sister would be pissed if she didn’t see their mother. Crystal and Brittney help Terry get dress. All three women put their custom vest on.
Dave and Zak show back up and notices Terry was awake and dress as well. They also noticed that the women had their bulletproof vest on.
“Good idea.” Dave puts his vest on.
Zak grabs his as well. He couldn't let Dave protect the girls by himself.
0100 Hrs. ICU Room 606 Knoxville General Hospital, Knoxville, Tn.:
Kat couldn’t go back to sleep and wanted to get out of bed and move around. Her chest still hurt, but she needed to move around. Also, why would someone in India want to kill her? She needs to go to ABM freight to talk with Kline Dish.
If anyone would know about people trying to kill her or her family, he would. You didn’t conduct business in Knoxville, without Kline’s permission or giving him a cut of the action. The last person who conducted business in Knoxville, without giving him a cut. He disappeared permanently.
Crystal, Brittney, and Terry arrive at the hospital. The nurses on duty tried to stop them from seeing Kat. Dave had to intervene to let the three girls see Kat.
Brittney and Terry run towards Kat and hug her. Tears were coming down their cheeks as they held their mother. Terry had tears as well as sliding down her cheeks. She was happy Kat was better. Kat just holds her girls and felt her eyes misting up. She was happy to see her babies safe and sound. She glances towards Crystal, Zak and Dave as they stood at the doorway to her room.
“I think whoever tried to kill her, is in trouble now.” Dave just watches the three women.
“You don’t know the half of it. Kat knows this city better than the cops and will tear it up for whoever took the contract out on her.” Crystal
knows Kat has contacts all over the city.
If there is one person who can get to the bottom of this mess, it will be her. Crystal knows, Kat is going to go hunting and god helps anyone who gets in her way.
0900 hrs., ABM Freight, Knoxville, Tn.:
Mr. Dish was looking over the trucking report in his office when his bodyguard comes flying through the door. He lands crumpled up several feet inside his office. He reaches under his desk for his gun, as Kat comes walking in. She had two people in full body armor standing behind her.
Kat looks down at the crumpled form on the floor. The poor sap should have known better to put his hands on her body. Normally, she wouldn’t have drop-kicked his dumbass, but he had the nerve to touch her body.
“You could have knocked or call Kat.” Kline looks at Kat.
She was wearing full body armor, without her head covered. He also noticed she had her guns on her waist. He knew she carried Hi-Power Brownings.
“Consider your henchman, me knocking.” Kat was trying to control her temper. She was pissed and wanted to know who was trying to kill her and her family.
“Fine! So, what brings you down here to my trucking firm?” Kline looks at Kat intensely.
Zak and Stanley were standing quietly behind Kat. They were her back-up should she needs it. They also wonder how Kat knew about this place.
Kat looks at Kline with a serious look on her face. She wanted to see the anger in her eyes “I want to know who put a hit out on me and my family?”
This was the first Kline had heard anything about a hit out on Kat or her family. If someone was operating in his territory without him knowing about it. Then he needs to find out who it is and why they didn’t inform him.
“This is a first that I have heard about a hit out on you and your family, Kat. You know I would inform you if I knew about it?”
“Why would you tell her if there is a hit on her and her family?” Zak was curious.
Kline looks towards Zak “who are you and what is your relationship to Kat?”
“Stanley Underwood and I'm Mrs. Romano’s bodyguard.”
Kline raises an eyebrow because he has never known Kat to need bodyguards before. He looks at Kat and back towards Stanley “because her
father saved my daughter’s life. That is a debt I owe him and since he has died, it carries over to Kat.”
Stanley could understand that reasoning. However, he has never known mobsters like Kline to honor such promises. He figures there is more to it then he was letting on.
Kat wonders who was dumb enough to operate in Dish’s area. She knew some of the other bosses around, wouldn’t do something so stupid.
“Look Kline, someone is operating in your territory and they are after me and my family. Paul got information that led him to India. Do you know anything about any assassins and such that operate from India?”
“No, I don’t, Kat. You know we either contract locally or from overseas, but never from countries like India or the Middle East.” Kline didn’t trust assassins or mercenaries from overseas or even South America.
“Is there anyone that might hire from overseas?” Kat wonders if there is someone else that might know?
“The only person who comes to mind would be Sam "Scotty" Kliner. He uses assassins from the Middle East and such. Why he would come after you, I wouldn’t know. Also, he wouldn’t operate in my territory without permission.” Kline figures if he was operating in his territory, there would be problems.
“Well, someone is operating in your territory. Maybe you should look into the matter?” Kat made it sound like a suggestion.
Kline looks at Kat and heard how she pitched her words. Normally, he wouldn’t allow someone to a suggestion like that, but he also knows.
That Kat and her husband could make problems for him if she wanted too. Most of his people knew better than to mess with her and her people.
“I’ll see what I can do for you, Kat. I make no promises.”
“Thanks, Kline. I’ll owe you.” Kat hated owing people, but she knew this was a big request.
Afterward Kat, Zak, and Stanley turn around and leave Dish’s office. They head back towards the armored SUV they arrived in.
“So, where to now?” Stanley looks at Kat.
“My office. I need to pick up a few things.” Kat wanted to pick up some of her personal weapons.
“That is kind of dangerous, Mrs. Romano.”
“I know and if someone is dumb enough to attack me at my place again, they will regret it.” There was anger in Kat’s voice.
Stanley just shakes his head as they load up in the SUV. He was driving, as Kat rode in the back. She didn’t like playing passengers when there was a target painted on her. They head towards K&P Services.
Zak was keeping his eyes peeled for any trouble while they were traveling. The travel to the K&P Services office building quiet and uneventful.
They pull up into a parking space and get out.
Carol, Kat’s assistant was inside the place. She looks up when the back door opens. She had her gun ready to shoot whoever it was. When she sees Kat walking in, she lowers her gun.
“God Kat, I almost shot you.” As she walks over to hug Kat.
“Sorry about that Carol.” Kat returns her hug.
“Its good to see you back on your feet Kat. We all thought that you might have died from being shot like you were.”
“I would have been if my heart wasn’t backward and on the right-hand side of my chest.”
Carol looked surprised at that. She didn’t know Kat’s heart was backward.
“Well, that is something new. So, any leads on who tried to kill you?”
“No, and that is what is bothering me. According to these two and my daughters, Paul went to India to track down the assassins sent after us,
with the other half of their team.” Kat points towards Stanley and Zak.
“That’s what I was told as well, Kat. Even your Marshal friends went with him.”
“Okay, that I didn’t hear.” Kat hadn’t been informed about Marshal Bullock, Marshal Running Bear being with her husband.
“Your daughter Terry had an interesting idea. She said that Brittney’s birth parents just up and left after you and Paul got custody of her. She thinks they might behind the hit.”
“It’s an interesting idea, but why wait this long to exact their revenge now? It wouldn’t make any sense unless Brittney was bound to inherit something they want to get their hands on? They know me and Paul will protect Brittney, so they would want to eliminate us.”
“That would explain, you and Paul, but why your children?” Carol looks at Stanley with a puzzled look on her face.
“Because I took Brittney from them. They would want to get revenge by killing my natural-born children.” Kat had a light growl to her voice.
“Let’s see what we can dig up on Brittney’s parents first and go from there.” Stanley already had Morgana and her team doing some work on them.
He would have Becky doing the research, but unfortunately, she is with Tammy right now in India.
“Well, let's see if we can find Brittney’s parents and what they are trying so hard to keep her from.” Kat couldn’t believe Brittney’s birth parents
were being such ass holes.
Kat, Stanley, and Zak spend time at K&P services with Carol. Kat wanted to go over what she has been missing and seeing what jobs have come in.
Camelot Network Solutions:
Troy was assigned the task of digging into Brittney's birth parent’s background. He looks at all the information he had access to and noticed they sold everything they owned. They also transferred all the illegal money they had hidden away to another account. He manages to trace them to Europe on a private jet, but after that, he loses them.
He sends an email to Mouse to see if she could dig up where they might have gone. He couldn’t get into the camera system at the airport without hacking into them and he knew it would flag Mouse. He hopes she is at work, as he checks the time.
MI 6 Cyber-Divison:
Mouse was sitting at her computer system chasing after some hackers that tried to access a government data base. The chase leads her back to a group of Russian hackers that she has run into before. She thought she put them out of business last time, but she must have missed one of them.
She launches the new program that she wrote and watches as the program infected their system. The program seized their system and prevented them from being shut down, while it infected other computers through the electrical wiring in the building. She rips everything from their system before they could kill the connection.
While she is striping the Russian hacking group computers. She notices an encrypted email arrived from Troy at Camelot Network Solutions. She decodes the email and reads it. She saw the information Troy sent her where he lost Brittney’s birth parents in England.
Mouse knew it was going to be a needle in a haystack to find them after all these years. They normally didn’t keep footage that long. She
manages to use her access to see if they boarded another jet. She checks all flights of that day but doesn’t find them. She checks the account they had used and notices a few days later it had been depleted. The money had been transferred to a bank in India.
She accesses their banking information and sees that the account was under a different name. The name the account was under, was Vishal Vaanee. The money in the account, was less then what had been placed in there. She searches India’s immigration system and their Regional Transport Authority to see if she could match a face to the name. She finds the name and a picture. The picture on the driver's license looked entirely different than what he looked like originally.
Mouse finds a picture of Brittney's birth mother and her new name. She was going under Kartika Vaanee and it looked like she had changed her facial features as well. She bundles all the information up and sends it back to Troy.
Camelot Network Solutions:
Troy kept searching the internet about Brittney’s family and come across an obituary of a person related to Brittney. According to a genealogy information he came across. Brittney was the great grandchild of a famous telecommunication billionaire.
Her birth father uses to use a network owned by her great grandfather. He checks the obituary listing and notices that Brittney’s name was listed as a surviving member of the family. He sends an inquiry to the lawyer handling the Will to see if Brittney needs to show up for the reading of the Will.
Kat’s bedroom, Safe House, Knoxville, Tn.:
Kat holds Terri’s sleeping form next to her. When they went to bed last night, Terri wanted to sleep with her mother. Kat understood why her youngest daughter wanted to sleep with her. Terri has always been a mommy’s girl. She strokes Terri’s short hair as she slept.
Terri’s face was buried against her neck and she was sleeping half on and half off Kat’s body. Kat thinks about the twins and misses them. She also misses Paul as well. This has been the longest since they started living together that he hasn’t slept next to her.
She feels Terri move closer to her, as she held her. She loved her children very much and was going to miss them when they leave the nest.
She knew Brittney wanted to marry Crystal as soon as she graduated from school. Kat places a kiss on top of Terri’s head as she rubs her back.
Crystal and Brittney’s bedroom:
Brittney was laying naked on top of Crystal body. She still had the strapon that Brittney used on her last night, still buried inside her vagina. She spent time with her mother most of last night after they came back from the office.
“You need to get off me, sweetie.” Crystal needed to pee.
“I don’t want to.” Brittney kisses Crystal. She loved feeling her girlfriend under her and in her as well.
“Sweetie, I have to pee really bad.” Crystal was doing everything she could to keep from peeing on her girlfriend and in her bed.
“Alright.” Brittney pulls the strapon out of her vagina as she gets off her baby.
Crystal hops out of bed and runs towards the bathroom still wearing the strapon. She didn’t even bother to grab her robe as she ran out of their
room, to the common bathroom. She nearly knocks Valentina over as she sprints to the bathroom.
Valentina was heading to the bathroom when Crystal nearly knocks her down. She noticed that Crystal was wearing a strapon and was naked. A sly smile appears on her face as the door to the bathroom shuts.
“Sorry about that, Valentina.” Brittney was standing in the doorway to hers and Crystal’s bedroom naked.
“I don’t even want to know what you two were up to last night.” Valentina knew Crystal and Brittney were lesbians.
She didn’t mind and wouldn’t mind seeing what it was like to have another woman make love to her. After working as a prostitute in order to find her sister's murder. She knew what it was like to have men make love to her. She became a girl on purpose to locate her sister’s killer.
Lately, since she has been working for Kat. She wanted to find someone she could help her relax and take her mind off the dangers she has been facing lately. She waits for Crystal to come out of the bathroom. She noticed Brittney went back to her bedroom.
Crystal opens the door and spot Valentina waiting to go inside. She blushes because she was holding the strapon she used on Brittney in her hand.
“Sorry for almost knocking you down, Valentina.”
“It's alright.” Valentina just smiles at her as she walks into the bathroom.
As she walks into hers and Brittney’s bedroom. She spots Brittney making the bed.
“You know Valentina saw you run out of here naked and wearing our favorite toy.” Brittney looks over towards Crystal with a smirk on her face.
“So.” Crystals walk over and place a kiss on Brittney’s cheek.
Brittney just shakes her head as she grabs her house robe and towel. She slips her slippers “I’m going to go and take a shower. Do you want to join me?”
“Sure.” Crystal grabs her robe and towel as well.
The two of them head to the showers. They spend a while in the showers and head back to their room to get redress.
Valentina looks at Jill as she sits across from her. The two of them were playing hearts. Valentina had to teach Jill how to play.
Jill looks at Valentina “so, what are you going to do with me after all this stuff is over with?”
“To be honest, I don't know what they are going to do afterwards. I work for Kat and her husband. How old are you by the way?” Valentina was curious.
“I just turned sixteen years old this year. My sweet sixteen birthday gift was being chained spread eagle style, while Violet and Nathan had their way with my body. Violet filmed everything they did to me and Teddy. They enjoyed inflicting pain on us. Violet especially, enjoyed the pain she inflicted to me. It was like it gave her a high, you could see it in her eyes.” Jill shivers just from talking about what Violet did to her.
The woman really, got turned on inflicting pain. Jill could see it every time she hit or cut her. As for Teddy, Nathan really enjoyed having fun with him and forcing him to inflict pain onto her. She could see that Teddy didn't like hurting her. Nathan on the other hand enjoyed inflicting pain to her.
He saw her as a piece of meat to be tortured. He use to hang her from meat hooks that went through her breasts. He enjoyed inserting surgical needles into her body.
Valentina could see that bad memories were hunting Jill. She was so still and there was a hunted look in her eyes.
“Jill, are you alright?” Valentina was concerned about her.
Jill didn't respond, she was lost in her memories and what Violet and Nathan did to her. She starts crying and shaking. Everything she has been holding back came flooding out of her.
Valentina moves quickly to Jill and hold her. She could feel Jill shaking against her body as the poor girl cries her heart out. Valentina just holds her as Jill has her breakdown. She figures Jill is going to need some serious counseling after all this mess is over with.
She knew how Jill felt, after what she went through to find the person who killed her sister. She gave up everything to find her sisters murder. She had her body changed to look like a porn star and worked as a prostitute to draw the murder out. It took time, patience's and will power not to let herself become a junkie.
“Ssshhh!” Valentina holds Jill and let her let out all the emotions she has been holding in.
Wright, Sneer & Bryd Law Firm:
Kat, Kristen, Terry, Brittney, Stanley, Dave and Zak were standing in front of the law firm, Brittney was told she had to come too. Kat,
Kristen,Terry and Brittney had headed upstairs to the office of William Bryd. He was the lawyer handling Brittney's grand fathers will.
Stanley, Dave and Zak were down in the vehicle they came in. None of the guys liked the idea of Kat, Brittney, Terry and Kat's older sister Kristen going into the law firm without them. The rest of the group were split up. They got a request from a bail bond company that has hired Kat before to chase after some clients of theirs.
Stanley had put up an argument with Kat that she or any of her family shouldn't take the job. Kat disagreed with him and sent Alexa and the rest of the crew with her. They left Valentina at the safe house with Jill.
Stanley shared the file he got on Jill with Kat. Jill's parents moved after they buried what they thought were her remains. As far as the world was concerned, Jill no longer existed. Which meant they would have to come up with a new identity for her.
“What do you think Aunt Kristen?” Brittney looks towards her aunt.
She had looked over the Will and the conditions that had been placed on what was left to her. Her aunt came along, because she had all the paper work Mr. Byrd might need to verify Brittney's identity. Since she was Kat's adopted daughter.
“I think, that you young lady are going to be very rich. Your grandfather left you stocks in all the companies he owns and a nice hefty bank account and a television company” Kristen looks at her niece.
“Nice.” Brittney was happy.
“However, young lady. Should anything happen to you. Everything your grandfather left you, goes to your father. It looks like he was
removed from the Will.” Kristen had noticed that Brittney's birth father's name had been removed from the Will.
“So, my birth father is after what my grandfather left me?” Brittney looks towards her aunt and mother.
“It looks that way. So, that is the reason he has come after you Kat and your children.” Kristen looks at her younger sister.
They were on their way out of Mr. Bryd's office. The paperwork that had needed to be taken care of, Kristen handle, since she was Kat's family personal lawyer.
“Still, how did he find out about the Will?” Kat walks next to her older sister as they leave the lawyer's office.
“That is a good question? Someone here has to still be helping him or maybe another relative.” Kat figures another relative or someone close to Brittney parents is helping them.
Stanley was and the others were relieved when they spot Kat and family. He didn't like letting them go into the lawyer office by themselves. However, if their was any one that was capable of defending themselves, it was Kat.
“So, how did things go?” Stanley looks at Kat as she climbs in.
“Everything went fine. However, we need to find out how Brittney's parents know about the condition of the Will.”
“He might know, because of my Uncle Frank, mom. Uncle Frank belongs to one of the extreme Christian groups that is against gays,
lesbians and transgenders among other things.” Brittney hated her Uncle Frank.
The man preached one thing, but had sex with young boys. He was a coach at a private school and she knew he had sex with at least three young boys. Boys that were valuable and didn't have a man in their life.
“Stanley, head towards my office.” Kat glances towards Stanley.
“Yes ma'am.” Stanley heads towards K&P Services.
Marcus winces as he gets out of coach Henreid’s SUV. It was a little painful to move around, after what coach Henreid did to him at the school.
“Remember Marcus, you need to keep this between you and me if you want to stay in school.” A smile appears on coach Henreid’s face.
“Yes, sir.” Marcus takes his gym bag out of the SUV and heads towards his front door.
He watches as coach Henreid drives off, leaving him in front of his home. His anal opening was hurting him. Coach Henreid was rough with him when he buried himself deep in his ass. He hated what coach Henreid was doing to him. The problem was, without coach Henreid help to pay his tuition. He would be thrown out of school. His parents didn’t know that coach Henreid was helping.
In return for Henreid helping him, he would perform any sexual act he asks of him. He didn’t like it, but he had no other choice. He walks inside the house and heads to his bedroom. His parents were out doing some shopping.
He strips out of the clothes he currently has on. Underneath his clothes, he was wearing a lacey corset, garter belt, stocking, and a thong. Coach Henreid loved him prancing around his office in the lingerie he was wearing. This wasn’t the first time he was made to wear them.
There were other times that the coach made him wear girly clothes and have sex with an older boy or another man. Sometimes, the coach would bring friends along and let them use him or make him perform for them.
He reaches behind his butt and felt wetness. When he pulls his hand back to look at it. There was some blood on his hand. He takes the lingerie off and hides it in a suitcase he keeps stashed underneath his bed.
Coach Frank Henreid House:
Stanley and Zak enter the house first. Kat wanted to come, but Stanley and Zak put a big no on that. They were going to surprise Brittney’s uncle. They found out where his place was and broke into it. He had no security at all.
As they searched the house, they find several locked rooms. Zak manages to unlock the door and enter the room. When he walks inside the room, he finds a young boy wearing a French Maid outfit with a ball gag stuff in his mouth. He had a chain attached to an ankle cuff.
“Stanley, you better get in here.” Zak couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Stanley had just opened another locked room and found a young boy dressed in a schoolgirls dress. He had make-up on his face and his hair
was in pigtails. He had an ankle cuff and a chain attached to his right leg.
Stanley sticks his head out and looks down the hallway towards the room Zak was in. He wonders what Zak found as he walks down to the room. Just as he walks in, he notices Zak trying to remove an ankle cuff.
“Damn! I found another boy dress as a little girl down the hallway. Let me get Brittney and Crystal in her.” Stanley couldn’t believe what he saw.
“I’ll see about getting this boy free.” Zak goes to work on the ankle cuff.
Stanley goes outside to the SUV where Kat, Crystal, Brittney, Dave, and Greg were waiting. Stanley walks over towards the SUV “Crystal, Dave, I need you inside.”
“What did you find, Stanley?” Kat looks at Stanley.
Stanley looks at Kat “its best, I don’t tell you, Kat. I need Dave and Crystal for now.”
Kat gets out of the SUV along with Brittney as well. Both women ignore Stanley and walk by him and into the house. When they walk in, they spot a young boy dress as a sexy French Maid standing in the hallway near another door. When they look inside, Kat notices Zak removing an ankle cuff that was attached to a long chain.
Standing next to Zak was a young girl with pigtails. She looked very pretty and had light brown hair. Brittney couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
She walks over to the young girl “did my uncle Frank do this to you? Chain you up?”
Teddy nods his head yes to the young woman standing in front of him. He was scared to speak because he didn’t know if she was going to hit him. The man she called Frank, made him call him Daddy.
Kat was trying to control her anger. She hated what she was seeing. The little girl didn’t smell like a girl, but a boy under all the perfume she was wearing.
Brittney noticed her mother getting upset. She knew how her mother was when children are abused or exploited.
“Mom, why don’t you take them out to the SUV.” Brittney lays her hand on her mother’s shoulder.
Stanley looks towards Zak “take them out to the SUV with Kat, Zak.”
“Yes, sir.” Zak takes the two young boys’ hands and walks them over towards Kat.
Teddy looks at the strange cat lady. He has never seen someone like, except in anime cartoons. The other boy didn’t know what to make of the cat looking woman. He has never seen anyone like her before.
Brittney looks at her watch “we better hurry up. Uncle Frank should be home soon.”
“Come on kids, let's get you out of here.” Kat and Crystal escort the kids out to the SUV.
“Come on Zak. Let’s put everything back like it was and set our surprise for him.”
“Right.” Zak goes and closes the rooms he and Stanley opened.
Kat and Crystal escort the two boys out to the SUV. Kat wonders where Frank got the boys and why he had them dress the way they were.
“Come on boys, let’s get you into the SUV.” Kat and Crystal help the boys into the SUV.
Twenty minutes later, Coach Frank pulls up in front of his place. He couldn’t wait to go inside and have some fun with the two boys. He so enjoyed the fact that he had two playthings to play with.
He parks his SUV and gets out. He walks towards the front door and walks in. Just as he walks in.
“Hello, Uncle Frank. It’s been a while.”
“Hello, Uncle Frank.” Brittney looks directly at her uncle.
Frank looks directly at Brittney “you’re supposed to be dead along with that freak that took you from your family.”
“I would be careful calling my mother, a freak. She doesn’t take kindly to words like that.” Brittney was controlling her anger. She didn’t like it when people call her mother weird, or names.
“Why should I worry about her? According to what I have been hearing, she’ll be dead soon.” An evil smile appears on his face.
“Stories of my death, are greatly exaggerated.” Kat had heard what Frank said, as she walked into the house.
The boys were being watched over by Dave and Crystal in the SUV. Stanley and Zak come out of the room that the boy dressed as a little girl was in. They stand nearby, as Kat walks closer towards Frank.
Kat moves closer to Frank “now, you’re going to tell me who you are dealing with and how do you get in touch with them. On top of that, you’re going to tell me who those little boys are that you had chained up.”
Frank looks at Kat “I’m not telling you shit, bitch.” As he spits in her face.
Stanley, Brittney, and Zak didn’t even see Kat move. The next thing they all see is Frank flying backward off his feet from Kat backhanding him.
“Damn! I didn’t even see her move.” Zak was surprised when Frank went flying backward from Kat hitting him.
Brittney walks over towards her uncle and looks down at him “if I was you, Uncle Frank, I would tell us everything. That includes what you were doing to those young boys we found chained up and if there are other boys as well.”
“I’m not going to tell you anything. Your father was right about you. You’re just a sissy that enjoys being fucked by anything that has a cock between its legs. He should have given me you to straighten out or become my…”
Frank didn’t even get to finish his speech to Brittney before she slugged him with a right cross. Her fist connected hard with his right jaw. She leans down towards Frank “you and my father are both evil people and if I had my choice, you would be dead right now. However, what my mother is going to do to you is going to make you wish I had killed you.”
Kat cracks her knuckles “boys, string him up in the master bathroom in his shower.”
Zak looks at Stanley for conformation. He knew one day they might have to torture someone, but he didn’t think it would be today.
“Come on Zak, let's get him strung up.” Stanley walks over towards Frank.
“You can’t let that bitch of a freak touch me. I have rights.”
“No sir, you don’t have any rights. Not after what you did to those boys. Also, we're not law enforcement and Mrs. Romano isn’t law enforcement either. She’s a bounty hunter and a private investigator. Which means she can do whatever she needs to, to bring a fugitive in.” Stanley helps frank up off the floor.
“Who are you?” Frank looks at the young man holding him.
“Me? I’m her bodyguard. My job is to protect her and her family. Pass that, I don’t give a damn to what happens to a pedophile.” Stanley starts escorting Frank towards the Master bedroom.
Outside in the Suv:
Crystal looks at the two young boys she and Dave were protecting. The younger of the two, the one dressed as a schoolgirl was smelling to high heaven from the perfume he was wearing. She looks at both boys and felt sorry for them.
“Do you boys have names?” Crystal was watching both boys.
“Yes ma’am, my name is Teddy and that is Jeff.” Teddy points to the boy dressed as a sexy French maid.
“Teddy, how did you end up with Mr. Henreid?” Greg was curious about how the two boys ended up there.
“Our so call foster parents gave us to him for money. They said no one would take in retards like me and Jeff.” Tears started leaking from his eyes.
“Why did they say that about you, Teddy?” Crystal didn’t see anything wrong with Teddy.
“Because I have trouble reading. The words look funny to me. As for Jeff, because he was just given Mr. Henreid. His parents didn’t want him anymore.”
Jeff didn’t even know why his parents didn’t love him at all. He has been beaten, abused, locked in a closet and barely had anything to eat. He never had a birthday party or been given gifts.
Jeff just sits quietly and tries not to cry. Every time he cried, Mr. Henreid punished him or made him do some disgusting thing.
“Was there ever any other boys Mr. Henreid would bring over and make you do things with?” Crystal was curious.
“Yes ma.am. There was a boy from Mr. Henreid’s school that came over and we were made to either do things to him or let him do nasty things to us.” Teddy wipes the tears that were leaking from his eyes.
Crystal scoops the little boy up into her arms and holds him close to her.
Inside the House:
Brittney, Zak, and Stanley stand around and watch as Kat dug her claws into the flesh of Frank’s body. She around raked her claws down the side of Frank’s body, leaving behind five bloody welts’.
“Now, I’m not going to ask again, uncle. How are you communicating with my father and how many assassins has he sent against me and my mother and how is he paying for all of this?” Brittney looks at her bloody uncle.
Frank looks at his former nephew. He doesn’t look like a boy anymore. He figures his nephew had extensive plastic surgery to make him look like he does.
“Brittney asked you a question.” Kat reaches forward and digs her claws into his scrotum.
Frank starts screaming when he feels Kat’s claws dig into his scrotum. They start poking into his testicle. He screams out when he feels her other hand cut into the flesh of his left thigh.
“Start squealing, or I’m going to start removing the flesh.” Kat lets Frank see her cat eyes and how excited she was at the thought of skinning him.
“Go ahead bitch! I’m not going to tell you anything.” There was anger in his eyes when he says those.
“Okay, you asked for it.” Kat squeezes his scrotum more and digs her claws in.
She uses her left hand to start removing flesh from the inner part of his thigh. She squeezes his testicle harder and cut the main vein that supplies blood to his testicle.
“Oop’s you won’t be needing these anymore.” Kat’s claws go all the way through and bite into her palm.
“Fine, I’ll tell. Just take your claws out.” Frank was in a lot of pain.
“Not until you talk.” Kat squeezes his scrotum lightly.
“There’s a satellite phone in my office I use to communicate with your father, Brittney. He is paying for their services in diamonds he gets from
Africa. He knows a warlord down there. As for the assassins. They won’t stop coming after you and your freak mother until you two are dead or until your father pulls the contract, he put out on you. Even if you managed to find and kill your father, the contract will still be active until you two are dead.”
“Thank you, Frank.” Kat severs the vein that supplys blood to his other testicle.
“Before you blackout, due to blood loss, are there any more boys you have molested?” Kat wanted to protect these boys.
“Yes, there are four more. Their numbers are on my cellphone. You are a fucking bitch.” Frank looks at Kat.
“Why thank you, Frank.” Kat watches as his eyes close.
“Call the paramedics and have him taken to the hospital. I’ll call Tony to book him.” Kat starts walking towards Frank’s office.
“They’re asleep, mom.” Brittney comes walking into the main meeting room of their safe house.
“That’s good. Those boys have been put through enough already.” Kat saw the abused look in their eyes. The same look she saw in her girls when she took them in.
“Did you call Aunt Kristen. Mom?” Terry wonders if her aunt will be able to identify the boys.
“I’ve already sent your aunt pictures of the boys and I have already called Morgana. Morgana is running their faces through every missing kids’ files and every social program out there.”
“I can tell you this, those boys don’t like being dressed as girls. If nothing else, they hate it.” Brittney had to borrow t-shirts and underwear from Stanley and the other guys.
“Did they tell you why?” Kat was curious.
“Yes, they said they aren’t girls and never liked being dressed and told to act like girls. My uncle did this to them.” Brittney could understand being forced to be something they weren’t.
“Well, it sounds like we are going to need to buy them some clothes. Also, they might be better off with my brother and his wife in Kansas.” Kat figures it was time for her to join her husband and friends in India to hunt down the assassins sent after her. She’ll deliver the message that she’ll bring the fight to them.
Kat pulls out her cellphone and dials Becca’s number. She hopes she is available.
Trenner’s Garage, Walker, Kansas:
August was walking through the garage to get Rebecca’s okay for some items they needed, when she hears Becca’s cellphone ringing. She reaches for it and accepts the call “hello, Trenner garage. August speaking.”
“August, its Kat is Rebecca available?”
“Yeah, she’s down in the pit doing an oil change, Kat. Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Maybe, I need two means of transport. One to come and get Brittney and a few other people and bring them back to your place. Plus, another
one to take me and a few others to India.” Kat was looking at Brittney and Crystal. While she was talking to August.
“I think we can handle that request, Kat. I’ll come and get whoever you're sending back here and my husband and his co-pilot will fly you and whoever is going with you to India.” August didn’t need Rebecca’s permission to do what she was talking about. She ran the air service with her husband.
“Good! How soon can you get out here?” Kat would like to move out by tomorrow morning.
“How’s tomorrow morning, sound?” August knows Rebecca wouldn’t let her go tonight.
“Tomorrow sounds good to me.” Kat figures they could get all packed up and secure the safe house.
“Alright, meet me and Butch at the airport around nine tomorrow morning. I’ll be in the Gulf Stream and my husband will be in the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III.” August knew whatever Kat had; they could carry in it. Plus, Rebecca made it, so they didn’t have to land to refuel. It had enough fuel to do one whole flight around the world.
Kat was surprised when August informed her that Butch was flying the Globemaster. She didn’t know her sister had a plane that big.
“Boy, you're bring the big boy in, aren’t you?”
“Yep, sis bought it from the Aussies.” August had been surprised when her sister bought the plane. They had to build another hangar to house it. Because the other one took up the first one, she horse traded for.
“Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow, August. Tell Becca thanks for everything.”
“I will Aunt Kat.” August ends the call.
“Crystal, You, Brittney and Valentina go and buy some clothes for the boys. Also, pick-up some clothes for Jill as well. Terry, you can either stay here with your Aunt or go with everyone else to Kansas.” Kat knew Terry liked staying with her sister.
“I think it might be better if I go to aunt Becca’s place.” Terry figures her aunt and uncle might need help with the boys.
“Alright, sweetie. Stanley, you and the rest of your people are coming with me to join the other group. It’s time I take the gloves off and show this assassin group some old fashion, Tennessee justice.” Kat was getting tired playing this cat and mouse game.
It was time for her to show this assassin group why she was the daughter of a SWAT officer. Plus, she was tired of the game. She never let something like this happened when she was bounty hunting.
“Mom, I want to go with you.” Brittney wanted to be with her mother and father on this assignment.
“Not this time, baby. I and your dad are going to let all hell loose and you and Terry don’t need to see that. Plus, I need for you to take care of the boys and help them adjust to a normal life.” Kat didn’t want her children to see the dark side of her nature.
“Brit, your mom is right.” Crystal wraps her arms around her girlfriend.
“But?”
“Sweetie, I promise I’ll be coming back. Do you honestly think your father will let anything happen to me or him?” Kat knows how deadly her husband could be.
“We won’t let anything happen to your mom, Brittney.” Stanley walks over to Brittney.
Brittney looks at Stanley “you better bring her back to me or I’ll come after you myself.”
Stanley sense she meant it. He could see it in her eyes. He wouldn’t want to be on her bad side if things went south.
“Alright, everyone let’s get some sleep. We have an early start tomorrow and you girls have some shopping to do.”
Terry brushes her hair out of her eyes as she watches as August lands the Lear Jet. The C-17 was landing on a different runway. She looks at her mother and wishes she was going with her. She slept with her mother last night. She may be a teenager and only have a few more years left before she heads off to law school. However, she wanted to sleep with her mother. She loved her mother very much and didn’t want to lose her.
The boys were standing with Jill and Valentina. They had on new clothes that the girls bought them last night. The girls also bought them a gym bag each filled with brand new clothes.
The boys look at the Lear Jet as it comes to a stop. They were told this morning that they were going somewhere safe. As for the other team members, they were heading to India to join the other half of their team.
August brings the Lear Jet to a stop and exits from it. She spots Kat and her family. She didn’t know who the other people were, but she figures they were working for Kat. She also spotted two young boys among them.
August walks over towards them. It’s been a while since she has seen everyone.
“So, who’s ready to go?” August knew Kat’s older brother couldn’t wait to see their nieces.
“I think all of us are, August.” Brittney looks over at her cousin.
August looks at Brittney and notices Crystal was standing nearby “so when are the two of you going to get married?”
“As soon as this case is over. We have talked about it and we want to go ahead and get married once all of this mess is over with.” Brittney has been thinking about it lately.
Kat looks at her oldest and Crystal. She knew they have been very serious, and she knew Brittney loved Crystal very much. She couldn’t hold it against them wanting to marry young. After all, August had gotten married when she was seventeen and had her baby just recently.
“Just wait until me and your father get back from India, before getting married, Brittney.” Kat walks over and hugs each girl.
“We will mom.” Brittney returns the hug.
“If everyone is ready. Those going with me, back to Kansas need to get on the Lear Jet. Those going to India, you need to head over to runway
seven and load up. Also, Kat. Rebecca loaded a fully loaded IAV Stryker for you and your team. It’s one she bought at a military auction and completely overhauled it and armed it.” August couldn’t believe her sister had sent the Stryker along.
“Damn! Aunt Becca is loading you and the others up mom.” Brittney looks at her mother.
“That’s only a small thing she sent. You should see what we have bought lately and what we are working on right now.” Special orders for
restored military vehicles have increased.
“Well, when I get back from India. I’ll take a look at what my sister has been up too.”
Kat walks over and gives each of her girls a hug. She looks at them “you two look out for each other and the rest as well.”
“We will mom.” Brittney returns the hug.
Terry steps up and hugs her mother as well. She hates seeing her mother going off by herself. She hopes everything works out.
Kat walks over to the two boys “when you two get to Kansas, my older brother and his wife will be there waiting for you two. You can trust them. My brother is a firefighter and his wife is a nurse.” She hugs each boy.
“Is your brother like you?” Teddy was curious.
“No, he is a normal person like you and everyone else. I and my sister are the only ones that we know of.”
“Is your sister like you?” Teddy watches Kat’s face.
“Let me show you what she looks like.” Kat looks up and over towards August.
“Hey August, can you come over here and show Teddy a picture of your sister?”
“Sure.” August walks over to Kat and Teddy.
“Teddy, this is August and she is Rebecca’s little sister.”
Teddy looks in August as she stood near them. She was the pilot of the Jet. She brings up a picture of herself, her husband, Rebecca and her
husband on her phone.
“See, she’s a mouse lady and August older sister. You’ll like her Teddy.” Kat had a smile on her face.
Teddy looks at August and then back at the cellphone “is she your sister?”
“Yep, she took me in off the street, taught me a trade and adopted me as her sister. That’s my husband standing next to me and that’s her
husband, Lev. He drives an eighteen-wheeler.” August knew how much Lev enjoyed driving trucks.
“He’s a truck driver?” Jeff liked eighteen-wheelers.
“Yep. When we arrive, why don’t I ask him to show you his trucks.” August figures Lev could help heal the boy.
“Okay.” Jeff would love to see the trucks.
“Alright, everyone into the jet.” August walks the boys to the Lear jet.
Kat watches as August gets everyone loaded onto the Lear Jet. She waves good-bye to her girls and the boys. Once they were loaded and taxiing down the runway “let’s go guys.”
They head towards the C-17. They are met by Butch’s loadmaster at the ramp.
“You must be, Kat.”
Kat spots a tall bald head, a muscular guy standing on the ramp leading into the C-17. He had a light tan to his skin. He had on a black t-shirt
that had Worldwide Transport on the left-hand side of it. He had on a pair of black BDU pants and black military-style boots.
“That I am. What’s your name?” Kat stops on the ramp.
“Mansur Bolivia. I work for Butch and his wife.” Mansur was watching Kat’s reactions.
“Okay. So, how long are we looking at for flight time?” Kat wonders how they were going to be in the air.
“Around twenty hours. So, you might as well make yourself comfortable.” Mansur heads back up the ramp and starts closing it.
Stanley and the rest of the guys sit down on the jump seats. They haven’t been on a plane this big before. They watch as Mansur walks over to an intercom unit.
“We’re ready to take off.”
“Roger.”
Mansur looks at everyone “better buckle in, people.”
Everyone hears the engines as they power up to take off.
Teddy and Jeff watch as the Lear Jet they were on starts taking off. They grab Brittney’s and Terry’s hand and hold onto them. Brittney just smiles as she feels Teddy grab her hand.
“We’ll be alright, Teddy. I trust my cousin.” Brittney reassures Teddy.
Two hours later, they land at a private airport. Brittney and Terry were amazed at how bigger it has gotten since they were last at the airfield. August guides the Lear into the private hangar that had the planes that she and Butch personally owned. Once she comes to a complete stop, she powers down.
“Alright, we can start unloading.” August starts moving towards the passenger section.
“When did you get your own hangar?” Terry was curious.
“When Butch and I took over the air transport business. We transferred all our aircraft to this hangar.” August opens the door and steps down first.
Two ground people enter the hangar and start unloading everyone’s luggage. While the men unload the luggage. August helps everyone out of the Lear. Valentina helps Jill out of the Lear.
“Jill, Valentina, if you two want. You can ride with Louise and Fred over to the building you’ll be staying in.” August saw that Jill was moving a little stiffly and that Valentina was helping her.
“Thanks, August.” Valentina smiles at August.
“No problem.” August escorts everyone else across the airfield to where Rebecca’s place was located.
The boys hold onto Brittney’s and Terry’s hands as they followed. August takes everyone to one of the old office buildings they used during the war.
“We renovated this old building to act as a safe house here on the airfield. It would take a heavy tank to break into it.” August walks up to the
door and enter her code and let the retina scanner, scan her eyes.
“Damn! You and Rebecca aren’t taking any chances, are you?” Brittney couldn’t believe what you had to go through.
“Nope, we’re taking no chances. After that one assassin managed to break into Rebecca’s place. We made back-up plans and double security
around here.” August opens the door to let everyone in.
“This building is completely self-contained. It has its power, heating and cooling, air purification system, water, communications, and the internet. All the windows are blast-proof and it would take around from one of the tanks we refurbished.” The contracting company they used, were the same ones they used to tornado-proof all their aircraft hangars.
“Cool.” Valentina liked that they were contained.
“Once you guys are settled in. Just call me and I’ll give you a tour of the place. Oh, your aunt and uncle Brittney and Terry will be coming over to speak with you as well.”
“Okay, thanks.” Brittney and Crystal pick a room for themselves.
Teddy and Jeff are put in a room across from theirs and Terry’s. Jill and Valentina were on the other side of Brittney and Crystals' bedroom.
“You know, Brit if we ever decide to have children. We could ask your uncle to knock us up. That way we can keep it in the family.” Crystal
looks at her girlfriend to see what she thought about the suggestion.
“You do know my aunt will have to agree to this?’ Brittney liked the idea. It wasn’t like she was related by blood. So, there wasn’t any worry about incest.
“I know, but I don’t think it will bother her. She’ll still be the aunt of our children.” Crystal had a smile on her face.
“I’m hoping my uncle and aunt adopt the boys.” Brittney knew her aunt wanted children.
“Maybe they will. Why don’t you want your mother to adopt them?” Crystal was curious.
“I don’t think that would be a good idea. Mom got the twins and she’s not used to raising boys. Plus, the boys need a stable environment to get
over the trauma they have been through. Life in our family isn’t stable. We’ve been shot at, blown up, and kidnapped.” Brittney knew life has been weird with her family and she still was going to follow in her parents’ footsteps.
“And you want to stay in this life.” Crystal looks at her girlfriend.
“Yes, I want to stay in this life.” Brittney couldn't see herself doing anything else.
“Let’s go and check on the boys.” Brittney hopes they are alright.
