Getting everyone off the island was a chore and a half. They had to call to get some assistance from a British and American naval ship in the area. The seaplane Anika and her people came in had room for Sher Khan and Chaos. Samson didn’t want to travel in the same seaplane as the two giant animals, so he traveled with Jack and Nick on the British ship that was providing assistance. The five people Jack, Cheshire, and Nick rescued traveled on the US vessel. The department they belonged to authorized it.

As for Sataria, Cheshire chopped her body up and burned it down to the bone, and crushed the bones into dust. After Jack hollowed out a bamboo, they put Sataria’s ashes into the hollowed-out bamboo and sealed it. Jack made arrangements to launch the container into space with a company he used for the satellites his company built. They would make sure that everything they did to Sataria meant she wasn’t coming back to life.

It takes Jack, Cheshire, and Nick a few days to return to Boston. Jack and Cheshire wanted to make sure Nick’s family were safe. The people who worked for Jack were a team he didn’t use that much due to injuries they received while working for Jack.

Andrew, an older guy who had grey hair but looked extremely muscular, greets Jack and Nick.

“I thought I would never see you working together again.” Andrew knew Nick from long ago.

Nick looked towards Andrew and couldn’t believe he was still alive “damn Rock! Rumor had it that you passed away.” Nick shakes Andrew’s hand.

“Nay! I’m living off the grid with my wife and granddaughter.” Andrew has known Nick and Jack for a long time.

“Man, I can’t believe you got married. Who did you end up marrying?” Nick knew Andrew wasn’t the easiest person to live with. The man was as old as Jack and Nick were, but he didn’t show his age.

“A woman Jack hooked me up with. At first, it started with me protecting her from assassins, and then, after the case was solved, We ended up getting married and adopted some kids that lost their family in a house fire.”

“Man, I never took you for the family type.”

“Well, Maria changed me. Let me introduce the rest of my team.” Andrew turns towards the three other people standing nearby.

The first person Andrew introduces is a tall African American gentleman who was built as muscularly as he was. “This here is John Henry. He’s my second in charge. He’s a former Army Ranger and served thirty years in the military.”

John looks at Nick and extends his hand out “its nice to meet you.”

Nick shakes John’s hand. “Thank you for protecting my family.”

“It was a pleasure. You have a nice family.”

“Thanks.”

Nick is then introduced to a woman named Diane Connors. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes. She also looks like the splitting image of the cartoon character She-Ra from the late eighties cartoon show. She is the same height and build as the cartoon character and even sounds like her.

“Diane, it’s been a long time since we've seen each other. How are your husband and son doing?” Nick knew Diane had a son the same age as his youngest.

“He’s doing well. I’m now a grandmother.” Diane couldn’t believe she was a grandmother.

Diane knew Nick from her days of working for Jack. She retired from the spy business to concentrate on raising her family.

“Wow! So, how many grandkids do you have?”

“Four, and they are a handful.” Diane loved being a grandmother.

The last person Nick shakes hands with is a young woman who introduces herself as Circuit. Nick doesn’t know anything about her, but she looks to be in her early twenties. Nick notices that she has some sort of metallic ribbon running up her neck and heading towards her back. She is the shortest among the other people protecting his family.

Her hands had metallic strips running to the top of her fingertips, disappearing under her skin. He wonders why she had metallic ribbons running on her hands and neck.

“Circuit, if you don’t mind me asking.”

“Why do I have metallic ribbons on my hands and neck?” Circuit already knew what Nick was going to ask.

“Yes.”

“My nervous system is damaged, which causes me to lose control or unable to use my arms and legs. I also have brittle bones as well. So, I have to wear a specialized exoskeleton that I designed myself. It allows me to move instead of relying on others or being restricted to a wheelchair.” Circuit hated that her body wasn’t normal.

“I’m sorry. I wish there were something I could do to help you. However, Circuit isn’t the name you were born with. So, what is your real name?”

“Circuit. I had my name changed when I was thirteen years old with my adoptive parent's permission.”

“Well, thank you for protecting my family, Circuit.” Nick shook Circuit’s hand and could tell she had a good grip.

Cheshire, Jack, Anika, and her crew stay for a few days. Jack calls his wife to find out how everything is at the ranch. After talking with his wife,
Jack calls Clair and informs her that he and Nick are fine and will be heading home to his family. He authorizes the recruiting of more members for her team and says that the funds will be available to fix her place.

Jack and Cheshire stay at a high-class hotel and share a suite. They also go shopping to buy clothes for themselves. As for everything that was recovered from the island Sataria sent them to, the island didn’t belong to anyone in particular, so Jack was looking into buying it.

Jack and Cheshire end up in bed together again and this time the two of them take things slow, not like last time. Cheshire knew this might cause some problems with Debbie, but it wasn’t like the two of them haven’t spoken about it. Debbie knew how close she and Jack were. The last thing she wants to do, is hurt Debbie and cause problems for Jack.
