Leave No Stone Unturned Chp. 12

Printer-friendly version

Cora puts her ear against the back door of the house and listens. She could hear movement inside the house. She did a quick look around the house to see if there were any opened windows, but all the windows had blinds. She pulls out an old fashion hand drill and drills a hole in the back door. She looks through but doesn’t see anyone in the kitchen.

She pulls her lock picks out and unlocks the locks. As she opens the back door, it was stopped by a chain lock. She pulls her bowie knife out and slides the chain off. She puts her bowie knife back into its sheath and slips into the house. She quietly shuts the door and moves towards the living room. There was barely had any furniture in the place.

She spots two men watching some news on a portable laptop and their backs were to her. She pulls her blowgun out and dips the darts into a morning glory mixture. She puts the coated dart into her blowgun and shoots both men with the darts.

Both men brush the darts out of their necks. A few seconds later, the men are experiencing an incredible high. A smile appears on Cora’s masked face as she goes about looking for the others. She spots one guy coming out of the bathroom. Before he could react, she strikes him quickly and quietly. She catches his body and drags him back into the bathroom. She secures his hands behind his back with a pair of quick cuffs.

Cora looks around for the fourth guy and spots him coming out of one of the bedrooms. She darts him like she did the two guys in the living room. She watches him as he falls to the floor all drugged out. The concentrated morning glory juice covering the darts was going to give these guys a psychedelic trip.

While she is waiting for Warewolf and Rachel to show up. She goes through the place, looking for who their next targets were. In one room, she spots the layout of some sort of building. What it was, she has no idea, but maybe Warewolf or Rachel might.

There was a stack of plain-looking paper sitting on a makeshift table. She picks it up and as she looks at it, the writing on it appears. She knew it was the magic inherent in the mask that was causing it to appear. The writing was written in Arabic and her mask couldn’t translate it.

She pulls some buffalo jerky out of her pouch and munch on it. She continues to explore the house as she munches on the jerky. She does check on the men she darted. They were so out of it from the morning glory, that they were drooling.

“I hope you guys are enjoying the trip you are on.” Cora knew what the effects of the morning glory did to the user.

One of the shamans on the reservation showed her how to make it, but before he did. He gave her some and boy did she have a wicked trip from it. She thought the dream she had when she was given the mask and suit was real. The experience she had from testing the morning glory, felt so real. She pulls the guy from the bedroom into the living room. She makes sure he is zip cuff as well.

Half an hour later, Warewolf and Rachel show up. Warewolf knocks on the door of the house.

Cora opens the door “hi guys.”

Warewolf and Rachel look at Cora and notices she was dressed in a skintight bodysuit. She had a belt that went around her waist. The buckle of the belt was silver and had a large Turquoise shape fox head in the middle of it. She had a pouch slung across her chest and lace-up knee-high black moccasin boots. She was also wearing a large bowie knife on her waist with a fox head-shaped handle.

“You have changed.” Warewolf walks into the house.

Rachel looks at Cora as well. She noticed everything Cora had on was of Native American style. She also noticed the four men when she
walked into the living room. One guy was unconscious and laying on the floor, while the other three were stoned out of their minds.

“What did you do to these men?” Warewolf was examining them.

“I darted them with morning glory essences.” Cora shuts the front door and walks into the living room.

“How did you managed to find them?” Warewolf was suspicious of Cora.

“I wish I could tell you. All I can tell you, is I’m very good at finding people and things.” Cora couldn’t tell him it was because of the mystical nature of her mask.

“So, what else did you find?” Rachel wanted to know what Cora found.

“In here.” Cora leads Rachel and Warewolf into the bedroom that had the blueprints and list of names.

Rachel and Warewolf walk into the room and stop when they see the blueprints and names. Rachel walks over to the make-shift table and looks at the stack of papers that had Arabic writing on them.

“Did you find these papers like this?” Warewolf looks at Cora for an answer.

“No, my mask made the invisible ink they were written in appear. The problem is, I can’t read Arabic.”

“It’s a good thing I do.” Warewolf looks at the first few pages.

Rachel was looking at the building blueprint on the wall. Something about it seem familiar to her.

“Warewolf, doesn’t this look like the VA center in Salamanca, NY.?” Rachel has visited the place a few times.

Warewolf turns around and looks at the blueprints “now that I think about it, it does.” He walks over and stands next to Rachel.

“Do you think they were going to attack the VA center?” Cora was curious.

“It's possible. We need to find out what their plans were.”

“Well, you have four people in the living room you can interrogate.” Cora motions towards the living room.

“I think we better call Patton and Hondo.” Rachel figures Hondo would be able to extract the information they need better than she could.

“Yeah, we better get the boss and Hondo in on this.” Warewolf pulls his cellphone out and texts both men.

A few minutes later, he receives a response from both men. He looks at Rachel “they’ll be here in about an hour.”

“How long does the drug last that you gave them?” Rachel looks at Cora.

“Two hours. I have more, but I wouldn’t recommend giving them anything extra.”

“Why’s that?” Warewolf was curious.

“Because the effects are like LSD. All you will be doing is keeping them high as a kite.”

“At least they wouldn’t be able to resist our questions.” Rachel didn’t mind that.

“If they can. I do know of a plant that will make them cooperate.” Cora has been studying under a shaman lately.

“Oh? What would you recommend?” Warewolf wanted to know.

“A concentrated dose of Devil’s Breath. It will loosen their tongues.” Cora had some in a vial in her pouch.

“We’ll see what Hondo and Patton say when they get here.” Rachel will let Hondo make the decision.

“Well, while we are waiting for them. I’ll dive into the laptop and see what I can find.” Warewolf goes and gets the laptop.

Those four are awfully cocky, thinking they wouldn't be discovered in that house. Or having some type of alarm on the doors and windows.

Guess they won't get a chance to correct their lasps of security. But they might get an early retirement.

Others have feelings too.

Can be a powerful tool in the hands of a trained operative.
