Ada and Alya left to go back to Alexandria. They had work on Tuesday and had to show up. Jasmine helped with the cleanup along with the others still at the farm.

Jack and Gina show up later in the day with Cadmus in tow. Nick pulls up behind them in the Lincoln Town car he arrived in on Monday. A smile appears on his face when he sees his old friend and Jack’s daughter. He didn’t recognize the wolf with them, but he knew it wasn’t Chaos.

He remembered Chaos being a lot bigger and meaner. He walks closer to his friend and Gina. He saw the wolf watching him.

“Gina, come and give your uncle a big hug.” He was surprised at how beautiful she had grown to be.

A big smile appears on Gina’s face as she walks over to Nick and hugs him. She couldn’t believe how he looked. She remembered him being older around her father’s age before he was given a second chance at life.

Nick hugs Gina and can smell her perfume. It was stronger than he remembers. He could smell that her scent had changed as well.

He looks down into her eyes “Have you become a mother again?”

“It’s a long story, uncle. But yeah, I’m carrying a baby.” Gina figures her father informed her uncle Nick.

“How many kids do you have now?”

“Five. Two teenagers, a preteen, and two babies. This one will make number six.” As Gina places her hand over her belly.

“You’ll have to send me a picture of all of them.” Nick was honored when Jack asked him to be Julia and Gina’s godfather.

Gina stepped aside so her father and Nick could shake hands with one another. She knew how close the two men were.

“It’s about time you showed up, Jack. How’s your granddaughter doing?”

“Haylee and her friends are going to make a full recovery. They’ll need to take it easy for a week or two, but they will be able to go back to what they normally do.” Jack was relieved that Haylee was better.

“Is Haylee one of your daughters, Gina?” Nick looks at Gina.

“No sir. She’s, my niece. She’s Julia’s middle daughter.”

“Speaking of Julia, how is she doing?”

“She’s doing fine. She and her wife Christmas are expecting their first baby.” Gina knew Julia and Christmas asked Uncle Sheamus to be their sperm donor so that the baby would have Bounty blood in it. They talked about asking their father, but he said it would be too creepy for him to father his grandchild.

“Are you three going to stand out there all afternoon chit-chatting?” Clair spotted Jack, one of Jack’s daughters, and Nick talking.

All three turn to look at Clair. Gina knew who she was and why she changed her name.

“We’re just catching up, Clair.” As Nick starts walking towards the porch.

Gina looks down at Cadmus “Be careful boy.”

Cadmus takes the steps carefully. He follows behind Gina and the others.

“Uncle Nick, I’m surprised you didn’t bring your owl.” Gian knew her uncle had a huge owl for a pet.

“He’s guarding the house. He’s not as trained as your wolves.” Nick hasn’t gotten around to training Samson, like his past owls.

After hugging all three people, Clair escorts them to her office and shuts the door. She motions for them to sit down as she sits behind her desk. Clair looks at Jack, Nick, and Gina.

“I’ve already sent what happened here and who is responsible to you gentlemen and ladies secure email account. Nick and I were talking yesterday about turning everyone that was here to defend the place into a team.”

“What do you know about them?” Gina wanted to know what Clair knew about them.

“Well, Ada Franklin works for the DOJ and she’s working at the archives. She could have informed her supervisors about this place but hasn’t. Instead, she came out to explore it on her own. She’s a fairly decent agent and good with a gun. The other woman Alya Fuks is a curator at the Smithson’s Native American museum and has a very unique talent.”

“Oh? What is that?” Nick was curious and he could tell Jack was too.

“She possesses the spirit of the Fox.”

“What is that?” Gina was a little confused.

“It means, sweetie that the Native American Fox spirit has chosen a host to inhabit.” Jack knew what that meant.

“So, she has a spirit living inside of her?”

“No, it means she has some sort of amulet or totem that the spirit is operating through. I’m not exactly sure how it works, but sometimes the spirits the Native Americans worship will grant the bearer of that totem or amulet their abilities.” Clair has done some research about the subject through the years.

“What has she demonstrated so far?” Jack wanted to know more.

“Well, from what I have observed so far. She can change into a fox and uses illusions to confuse her opponents.” Clair taps a few keys on the keyboard in front of her and turns her monitor around to show the images of Alya fighting.

“She’s a good fighter, but good uses some work.” Gina saw how Alya fought on the video and saw her weak points as well.

“Well, she is a museum curator, Gina. Not a fighter like you.” Clair Knew how well Gina fought.

Clair knew Jack sent Gina to be trained by the secret training center in England and she was a member of Alpha squad as well. She knew Jack didn’t want any of his children following in his footsteps. Neither did Nick either.

“Who drove that tow truck?” Nick saw the entrance of the tow truck.

“That would be Becky. She’s a little like Dave. She’s a speed demon and from what I know about her, she loves to tinker and build things. I think she would be a good fit for the team.” Clair knew it might do Becky some good.

“What does she do for a living?” Gina was curious.

“She works up at her great uncle’s garage as a mechanic and as a receptionist. She’s a good kid.”

“And of course you want Jasmine to join as well.” Jack knew how well Jasmine did.

“Yes, I think some of the assignments you have been sending her, could have used some backup.” Clair didn’t like Jasmine operating on her own without backup.

“Having a team here near Washington D.C. would be helpful, Dad. Aunt Anika is too far away to get here in time. Plus, they could act as backup for the New York team.” Gina knew it would take her aunt too long to get to Washington D.C.

“I have to agree with Gina, Jack. Plus, having two operatives that work and live near Washington D.C. helps as well, and with the way the political winds are blowing. It might be a good idea to have them here.” Clair was hoping Jack and Nick would approve.

“I might have two more recruits for you. There are rumors down in Georgia about a woman who dresses as a Mandalorian from Disney. I know there is a group of people down there that has adopted the way of the Mandalorian as a way of life, but this woman’s armor is more like Carla’s armor. I think this woman would be a good fit.”

“What is the second person you think would be a good fit?” Nick looks at Gina for an answer.

“She goes by the name of the Joker. She dresses like the Batman villain the Joker from the television series and the movies. I’m still researching her, but she has been known to help the other woman out.” Gina had one of her researchers looking into the two women.

“I wonder if she’s as crazy as the woman up in New York?” Nick has heard stories about two crazy women in New York. One dresses like Alice from the Wonderland story killing people and another that dresses like the Mad Hatter.

“If you’re referring to the Mad Hatter. Her husband is outside and she’s, my cousin.” Gina didn’t know if Nick knew.

“How about the one that looks like Alice? Is she related to you?”

“No, she is a different story. She is possessed by a vengeful spirit that wants revenge for what was done to her and others.” Jack knew about the woman.

“I’ll look into them. Anyone else you want to put on the team?” Clair wonders who else they had in mind.

Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Va.:
Brooke takes notes as the professor explains the day's lesson. She had her cellphone recording the lesson, just in case she missed something or needed to go back and listen to it again. After class was over, she walked out of the building towards the parking lot. She spots the old ambulance her ghost-hunting crew used and converted to hunt ghosts waiting for her. She walks over to it and gets in.

“So, where are we going today?” Brooke loved chasing after ghosts.

“No case today, Brooke. Today is Freddy’s birthday and we are going to celebrate it.” Jones was in a party mood.

“Sounds fun.” Brooke loved parties and she knew Freddy’s was going to be epic.

She puts her backpack in the back of their research van and fixes her makeup. She lifts her shirt off and takes her bra off while Jones drives the van.

“God, Brooke. Do you have to change while I’m driving?” Jones looks over towards Brooke’s melon-sized breasts.

“It’s nothing you haven’t seen me do a thousand times before, Jones.” As Brooke changes her bra. She adjusts the ladies as she puts on a different blouse.

She looked like the real-life version of Velma Dinkey from Scooby-Doo. Not only did she look like a real-life version of herself. But she was as intelligent as the animated character.

Once they arrived at Freddy’s place. They go inside to the party already in progress.
