On the way home, Aylin was listening to her favorite music in her BMW. Traffic was nothing but stop-and-go. She hated New York traffic at times, especially when she was in a hurry to get home. Today's only good thing that kept her in a good mood was that the property she had been trying to buy finally came through.

She felt her uncle had his hand in it, but she couldn’t prove it. Construction of the new low-cost income apartments she would build on the site was ongoing. She had a good chunk of her money tied up in the project, several investments, and grants from the city and government.

The whole project used green technology, such as solar panels and windows, so the tenants wouldn’t have to pay much money. The sidewalks used the same green technology as Jack's driveway at his place.

Aylin controls her anger when a box truck comes out of nowhere, cutting her off and into her lane. Just as she honks her horn at the driver. There is an explosion, and a figure comes flying out of the back of the truck and right into her front windshield. The person had a set of wings on their back and wasn’t moving.

Aylin had slammed on her brakes when the figure hit her windshield. The box truck in front of her that had cut her off was now on fire. Aylin feels her car jerk from someone tapping the rear of her BMW. She gets out of her car to see if the person who smashed into her windshield is okay.

She noticed that the person was wearing a costume. She spotted a huge scorched mark on the front of the young woman’s chest. There was blood coming out of the person's nose and a cracked falcon-shaped helmet covering the young woman’s head.

Two spikes stuck out of the woman's shoulders. Aylin reached towards the exposed part of her neck to check her pulse. She felt a pulse, but it was very weak. As for the box truck in front of her, Aylin could feel its heat.

Fire trucks, the police, and paramedics show up to get everything under control. Aylin takes a picture of the woman when the paramedics remove the damaged helmet covering her head. She looked like she went twenty rounds with whoever she got in a fight with.

Aylin was surprised the woman was able to function after being beaten so severely. At the same time, the police take Aylin’s information and statement of what happened. She listens carefully to what hospital the woman is being taken to. She’ll visit the woman later to find out what had happened.

As for the box truck, the firemen find four charred bodies inside. They find out what caused the fire as well. According to what survived the fire, there were many weapons.

Aylin had to wait for the tow company to come and tow her BMW home. She couldn’t drive it with a smashed windshield. The damage she took from someone tapping the car's rear wasn’t too bad, but it would need minor body work.

By the time Aylin arrives at home. Everyone was eating dinner. She caught a ride home with the tow truck driver.

“Well, it looks like you guys are dinner.” Aylin walks over to the dining room table and sits down at her spot.

“Sorry, sweetie. Hollace was getting hungry. Also, little Mark has been fed as well.” Mark looks over towards Mickie when he says that.

“He was getting a little fussy, Mom.” Mickie looked at Aylin when she spoke.

“That’s fine. That’s why I left all those breast milk bottles for you. He hates drinking baby formula.” Aylin knew her youngest son hated formula.

“So, what happened, Mom?” Bree was curious why her mother was late getting home.

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” Aylin still wondered what had happened and why the young woman she saw was wearing a blue suit shaped like a falcon.

“Please, mom?” Bree liked hearing about her parent's adventures.

“Fine. A box truck cut in front of me while I was in traffic. The next thing I knew, an explosion and a person wearing a blue suit with bird-like wings smashed through the box truck door and right into my windshield. Soon after the person hit my windshield, the box truck exploded.”

“What caused the box truck to explode, sweetie?” Mark was curious.

“It seems it was transporting a bunch of weaponry. The police didn’t go into detail about what exactly was in the back of the truck.” Ayin tried to find out, but the information was being kept close to the chest of the officer in charge.

“Is the person who wore the bird suit going to be okay?” Mickie wonders who the person is.

“I don’t know. I’m going to go check on the person tomorrow morning.” Aylin knew the person took one hell of a beating.

Aylin eats her dinner and finds out how everyone else's day has been. She helps clear the table and put away the leftovers. She is continually amazed that they have leftovers. She knew Mark took some of the leftovers to work for lunch.

Since it was summer, the kids didn’t have to go to school. She allowed Bree to stay up until midnight because she knew Bree would be video chatting with her friends online. She gives Hollace, Julie, and little Mark a bath before putting them to bed.

Aylin knew Mickie was working on her online college courses. She was proud of Mickie for returning to school and getting her degree.

Mark watches as Aylin undresses and puts on her nightshirt. The front of the shirt features the Mad Hatter, which wasn’t a Disney design, pouring
tea. He looks at Aylin’s cute butt as she bent over to pick something up off the floor. The nightshirt exposed her naked butt.

He knew Aylin kept her groin area shaved. She’s been doing that since their trip to South America. He knew she was considering having her pubic hair removed with a laser so she wouldn’t have to shave it when it grew back.

Once they lay in bed, “What do you think was happening?” Mark looks at his wife.

“I don’t know. All I do know was the woman wearing the Falcon-shaped helmet had been beaten. Her face was black and blue from being hit repeatedly.” Aylin could still recall the young woman's appearance once they removed her helmet and head covering.

“So, what is your next move?” Mark knew his wife wouldn’t let this go.

“I’m going to investigate the matter and find out what happened to the young woman.” Aylin looks at Mark with a mischievous look on her face.

A smile appears on Mark’s face when he notices the mischievous look in Aylin’s eyes. He puts his arm around her shoulders and pulls her against him. He kisses her lips while holding her close to his body.
