Must love dogs
Chapter 7

Rest of the week's training with the American Units in California went very well after that first day with the Secretary of the Army. Of course she was questioned by Mother on why she was home so early that first day, and when she explain what had happen and the 'B' word, Mother really flipped out and with her in tow, teleported to the USA Embassy. Let just say the Ambassador was not to please to get an ear full from Mother that day and placed a call to the President. By then the big cheese had already gotten an ear full from the Secretary of the Army but after hearing the report from the Ambassador he asked to be put on speaker. "Ladies I must first apologies for the Secretary actions and that I will be speaking to him in person here in the Oval Office very soon, rest assure you will no doubt be receiving a face to face meeting with him soon and he will be coming to you for that, so feel free to make him wait as long as you wish, again I am so sorry and for what happen, if there is anything I can do for you ladies you need only to ask".

"Mr President, my daughter and I thank you and give our best to the First Lady. Jill you have anything to add"?

"No I'm good, thank you sir".

"Good, Good, then goodbye for now, Ambassador thank you". "Thank you sir"! The line went dead with a soft click as the President hung up.

"Ambassador King, thank you for your quick action, since Jill is home so early I'm afraid my schedule will have to change for the rest of the day and that I'm going to make this a Daughter-Mother outing today".

"No worries Jackie, I will have my secretary reschedule our stuff for another day.

Well Mother's day of Mother-Daughter outing was shopping, she had a Gold card and mother put some damage on it that day, they must have visited every Target, JC Penny, K Mart and Walmart Super Center in the area. She had her try on at least 60 outfits, and that when she realize that she was going to become a clothing horse. But she did agree with mother that she looked cute in the clothes. She asked mother if she could have some pants shorts, but was veto by mother.

"Not till you grow out of your Tom boy ways young lady"!

"But Mother"?

"No buts, and no pants or shorts, now let get something to eat. Burgers or pizza"?

"Pizza"!

A late lunch at the local Pizzarella was fun, then one last stop at the Walmart to check some more outfits. Through out the shopping trips mother had teleport home with the purchases, dropping them off and popping back in a blink of an eye. There been no problems but when she went to pay for our last purchases she was gone just a little bit longer, hung up at the check out line, more then enough time for some shaded character to see a little girl all alone, he been eyeing her and her mother and had almost given up of getting the girl alone, but after losing sight of them for one second and then seeing her alone he decide to grab her and run.

Jill felt his presents more then she could see the man behind her, and before she could turn he grabbed her his one hand covering her month while he held her in the other. She knew they were moving to the closes exit and could have called the dragons but decided that she was going to do this one right here.

Suddenly his little red hair angel felt like she weight a ton, he trips, falling hard on his face, the little girl is on her feet, her falling, feet first, cracked a tile under her. He stands, wiping the blood from his nose, he reach for his prize once more and fines himself flying through the air, a simple judo toss, but done by an eight year old girl. He feels some weight on his chest and when he open his eyes there is a huge black doberman with its feet on his chest, then the girl's mother appears as if from no where and the light comes on in the frig, he had tried to snatch a rider. Later the security tape times would show that this all took place under two minutes.

He tries to move but a growl from Jupiter makes him freeze, turning his face towards Jill he says, "Can I have you autograph, please"?

A smile breaks across her lips then a giggle, then laughter so hard she sits on the floor, her mother, also laughing, join her. The stores security fines them all in the center of the aisle laughing.

Chapter 8

When the Police arrived the store security turn the would be kidnaper over to them, and no he did not get the requested autograph, seems Mr.Blankenship was a known sex offender, and this was his 2nd strike. The video of his attempted kidnaping was turn over to the law as well. The Officers were having fun with that, seems it was leaked to the Internet and posted to Youtube. By the time Jill had returned from the training with the American Units in CA, it had gone to 2.5 million views and was still climbing.

A week after Spring Break Jill was showing Mother a new trick she learned using the Dragon Bracelet, her gravity powers and a crazy dismount 100 feet in the air. Since the bracelet allow you to store the flight outfit and did a instant change storing the street clothes the person had on Jill found she could dismount from her pet, use gravity to slow her decent to the ground and change from the flight uniform to her street clothes in mere two seconds. The bright flash of the bracelet did not allow anyone to see anything when her mother got a call from the Ambassador.

Seems the DA needed to see Jill concerning the case of State Vs Mr.Blankenship, and that the court appointed Public Defender had also requested a meeting with her. Since Jill was a minor her mother would have to be present for both meetings. She would miss most of school on the days talking to these Lawyers, but mother said that her homework would be sent to her.

Getting the contact information for both party from the Ambassador, mother called both, setting up appointments, the first was with the DA office tomorrow 10am, the 2nd would be the next day 10am with the firm of Jackson & Jackson, this meeting would take place at the DA office also.

The next day we are off to the big city. Mother wanted to quietly enter by herself so teleported alone to the side entrance but Jill wanted to come in the main door with her pets, they had discussed the night before that her pets may not be allowed inside but a plan was hatched that would push the envelope, she would enter the building, her pets would follow, when asked to remove the pets she would refuse. The morning of the appointment with the DA, a huge shadow suddenly drops over the area of the DA office, looking up they see three dragons in the sky above, then a body, a child, jumps from the back of the white dragon, falling to the steps below. People scream, many moving away as the dragons vanish and three dog appear on the steps. The child seems to slow almost stopping then a flash of blinding light and there is a little girl wearing a dress and a hat, white knee high, black shoes. Stepping inside the door the first thing she see are the medal detectors, her pets are right on her heels. A deputy sheriff officer steps up and says, "I'm sorry miss but pets are not allowed here unless they service dogs".

"I'm a rider and these are my my dragons", her hands pointing down to the dogs, "They go where I go".

"Miss, I'm sorry but they still cannot come in, pets are not allow, please have them wait outside".
Turning to her pets she says one word, "Go", the dogs vanish only to reappear on the other side of the medal detectors, not wasting any time Jill walks through the detector joining her pets on the other side. The deputy seeing the pets inside then orders Jill to remove her animals.

"Miss, I am going to tell you once and once only to remove your pets or else action will be taken".

"Sir any action taken will be you and your comrades sitting on the two flag poles outside like the NYPD SWAT did last year at the UN. I am a rider and my pets go with me always"! Then homing in on mother's signal the four of them teleported to DA office on the 2nd floor.

"Problems dear"?

"No mother, just some over zealous officer of the law".

Chapter 9

The meeting with the DA went pretty good, the DA, Mr Blacksmith, was doing this one himself, of course there was some concerns about the pets, and even more when he heard what had happen downstairs, so paper work was put in declaring the three dogs service pets. This way they would be allow into the court room during the trial. Mother ask and got the location of the room they were to use when schedule to meet the Public Defender. Seems they were doing this one pro bonus, but the DA said it was a slam duck with the Video evident. Knowing the rooms location would allow them to teleport directly to it. The meeting over mother took her hand and teleport home, her pets right behind her.

The next day, at the DA office, the public defender, Mr.Blankenship, (who was out on some bond), the DA, were all sitting in the room schedule for the meeting, at exactly 10am Jackie, Jill and Jupiter teleport in. Comet and Starfly were out side the rooms only door. Seeing them pop in was something new to the PD, but he quickly recovered, shuffle some papers and then introduce himself.

"Welcome Ladies, my name is BB Wright, I'm a associate at Jackson & Jackson , and I am defending Mr Blankenship on the charges of attempt kidnaping". Again as before they watch the video evident, Mr Wright asking just about the same questions the DA had asked the day before. Through out this Mr Blankenship had his eyes on Jill most of the time, any move he made was watch closely by Jupiter.

After the video was over, Mr Wright turn to us and tossed an large envelope to the DA. "There was no kidnaping, just an uncle playing with his niece".

Opening the envelope the DA see pictures of Mr Blankenship on Dragon Pacific with Jill and others.

"Where did these come from"?

Mother was quick, using her bracelet she scan them, "They all fakes Mr Blacksmith, all photo shop on a PC.

"Prove it in court Ms Madisome, we plan on showing these as evident that Mr Blankenship was just playing with his niece, a fact that all of you were aware of since at the end of the video when security arrived you were all on the floor laughing".

"He asked for my autograph, as you can plainly hear in the video, it just crack me up after him trying to carry me off. Now if he pleads guilty to all charges in court I will give him a 8x10 autograph picture he can hang in his 6x6 prison cell".

Mr Blankenship turns and whispers to his lawyer, Mr Wright then picks up the papers off the desk, places them back in his briefcase closing it. "We have a deal, my client has agreed to your terms, I believe we done here today".

After Mr Wright and Mr Blankenship have left, the DA turns to them both, "Well shut my mouth, I wish all my cases were like this one, for a minute after seeing the photos I had some worries that he could get off, but not now, its a open and shut case, my thank little lady".

"Jill which picture will you autograph for him"?

"Mother", a small grin on her lips, "the one where he is flying through the air." Everyone in the outer office stops as loud laughter from the DA escape from the conference room.

This story is developing

Robyn B's picture

This story is developing reasonably well. Some assumptions have to be made by the reader as some things/ideas develop very quickly without previous mention. Prior reading of other fictional dragon stories helps the reader understand the bond between dragon and rider and how the sum of the parts, in this case, is greater than the whole.

As others have posted after the previous two postings, the principal detractor from this story is the overwhelming need of an editorial process. Punctuation, grammar, syntax and spelling all need attention.

I eagerly await the next instalment, but don't let that desire shortcut the need for an editor. I have done editorial work for writing on this site before should you wish to avail yourself of my services.

Quaaaack

I'm tempted to ask what a 'slam duck' is, and how is the 'video evident'?
I know these are only typos, but it would be a good idea if you went through it and corrected them before the item was posted.
There are of course several more typos, but I'm not going to slag your work, it's just a bit of a distraction

Fun!

This story is a lot of fun. The tone reminds me a lot of the stories by Andy Hollis and a couple other writers.

Wonders . ..

I don't know how I missed adding a comment before. I think I read this chapter because I can't leave a kudo but it's been a long time.

I like the part about the dragons coming into the courthouse as dogs. The stupid court officer just didn't get it. Hah!

Thanks! Please keep it up. It looks like chapter 4 is up. That's what made me think to go back to chapter 3. I'll read that next.
