A week had gone by since Renata ended up in the hospital. Her friends from the club came and visited her while she was in the hospital. They had teased her about the dilators and said if she was feeling that horny, they could find a stud for her to help scratch that itch. Even though a week had gone by and she was using the dilators like she was instructed to. It was both painful and embarrassing. Her stomach wound made it painful.

Kevin has been having a blast here at Sturgis lately. He has been making drug contacts with several bikers that could extend his reach. He met several women and had fun with them. This was the type of life he missed and enjoy. He didn’t like being tied down with a sissy son and a wife who loved their child more than him and was smarter then him. His wife wasn’t into the S&M games like some of the women he met here were this week.

What if you could fly? You, know, be a kick-ass superhero whenever you want. That's what happened to college freshman Ned. Though, here's the catch—every time he uses his powers he turns into a woman. Still want to be that superhero?

The next morning Kat and Paul were up early looking over everything Brittney could remember about the camp. They had written and drawn maps of the layout of the camp. The routines were written as well. So, they knew when they retrieved mail and when they went into town to get supplies. Also, when they brought new people to the camp.

Kat had her favorite jersey shirt on and was sitting on Paul’s lap. Brittney had stayed up late with them and was still in bed.

Big Tony had gotten a phone call from D.A. from the Sirens MC and wanted to talk. She didn’t say what the meeting was about, but she wanted it to be just him and his vice and her and her vice. The meeting was going to take place outside of Sturgis.

When Big Tony and his Vice shows-up at the meeting place. He notices D.A. and Her second/ wife was waiting for them. He knew D.A. from her days with another MC and her wife as well. Whatever they wanted to talk to him about must be important if they didn’t want anyone else around.

The first thing Renata feels when she wakes-up is numbness and a tightness to her body. Her throat felt dry and she felt so weak. She manages to move her head to the side and notice Jesse sitting there next to her sound asleep. He was holding her hand in his as a smile appears on her face. She squeezes his hand and closes her eyes as she drifts off to sleep again.

The next time she wakes up, she notices that Jesse was still holding her hand and watching her.

“Well, good afternoon sleepy head.” A smile forms on Jesse’s face when he notices Renata’s eyes opening again.

Carmen starts getting ready for her number. Her and Jesse had, had an argument this morning about her coming back to work. One, because she really isn’t of legal age to perform as a drag queen and two, because the cartel guys that were after her were laying low, because another group was moving in on their territory and they couldn’t spare any one right now. That’s what Jesse had gotten from that guy he had caught the other night. She was getting tired of being shut-up in his house with nothing to do except watch television and listening to his cd’s.

The following morning the girls were still a little confused about what had happened last night. However, last night had demonstrated to them that there was nothing their new family wouldn’t do for them. They also learned that the wolves were indeed vicious animals and would defend them. Julia and Gina was wondering where their father had gotten off too. They had seen him at breakfast, but he had taken off afterwards. He wasn’t out on the property or in his office. They also hadn’t seen Chaos this morning, but that was normal for him.

Brittney could smell the scent of bacon cooking in the air. She had woken-up early and decided to just stay in bed. The bed she was laying on had the scent of lavender to the sheets and blanket. She had been told that she could sleep in this room last night by Kat. The room itself looked to have belong to a teenage girl. There were posters of men on the wall and of bands. A vanity table and stuff animals and books. It had the same smell as the bed of Lavender, now mixed with the smell of bacon.

Renata has already told Jesse she wasn’t going back to a group home. She was going to go ahead and get emancipated. He wanted her to stay here at his home till he found out more about the Cartel that had kidnapped both him and her. Renata had called Lady Bird and told her what had happened. Her boss at her full-time job had spoken with Jesse and understood. She would still have her job if she wanted it when she came back.

Yariel and Kaleb watches from their hidden spot. There was no moon out tonight to give them away. Perry had sent the two of them in to do recon of the property. They had arrived in town early this morning and waited till dark to make their move. Tyler had done an over flight of the property a couple of days ago. So, they knew the layout of the property and where most of the buildings were and a few forest roads that cross the property they could use.

This story predates my work on Masks. It was the first written of a set called The Changeling Chronicles. It was largely to test the waters for the series on TSA. The other stories can be found here: http://www.dcr.net/~stickmak/Transformation/CHANGELI/

Cara’s plane had finally landed in Casper, Wyoming. Her brother-in-law Seamus had gone to get their bags, while she waited for Jack to show-up. The flight had been long and uncomfortable for her. It had been five years since she had flown back to the states. She had stayed in Ireland even after Jack’s father had died. She loved the emerald Isle and couldn’t image leaving it. She knew if she wanted to see her grandchildren in person, she was going to have to come to them.

Midland police took the arrested parents before the Midland County district attorney. Assistant district attorney Jim Watts drew the Gaynor cases.

“What do we have here, Joe?” Jim Watts asked officer Hines.

Angel wakes up snuggle deep under the blankets. He could feel the Rv moving as he lays there on the bed. He looks around for his mother’s and notices that both their helmets were missing. He crawls out of bed and heads to the bathroom and does his morning business. After washing and drying his hands, he heads up towards the front of the Rv where Angel knew Brenda and Kim would be.

“Well good afternoon sleepy head.” Kim turns to look at Angel as she stands between her and Brenda.

Angel looks towards Kimberly when she says good afternoon to him. “When did we leave?”

Renata and Ranger Jesse manages to make their way to an abandon warehouse. Jesse had managed to stop the bleeding from Renata’s gunshot. He looks at her and wonder why she is tied up in this mess.

Renata couldn’t believe the mess she was in. Why did Ichiko do this to her. She had never done anything to her. Why couldn’t the cartel just leave her along? Their leader was in jail and he deserve it for all the people he killed that day.

“So, any idea on how we are going to get out of here?” Renata had found a wooden box and turned it upside down to sit on.

Julia comes stumbling into the kitchen rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She wasn’t a morning person and had a hard time concentrating on things. Sphinx was following behind her as the two of them head over towards the breakfast bar.

“Morning sleepy head.” Gina just grins at her older sibling. Julia would sleep in, but they were going horseback riding with their father today.

He was taking them to his favor spot on the ranch.

Angel slowly opens his eyes and looks around. He was sandwich in between D.A. and Angie, lying on his side. He had buried his face against D.A’s chest during the night. He could feel Angie behind him with one arm draped over his slim body and her chest pressed against his back. Angel snuggles closer against D.A.’s chest and body. He felt safe between his mother’s body and didn’t want to leave.

The next two months were hectic to say the least. Luca and I went everywhere together. But it was all business, business and yet more business. Most nights we just collapsed into bed exhausted. There is such a thing as too much wining and dining and the endless travelling was always a pain in the bum.
