Learning What It Means to Be Tammy Beck Chp. 8

Printer-friendly version

Nyx changes out her chest plate for her armor. She’ll have to rebuild her older armor chest plate. While she is getting the replacement, she runs the list of local supply places you could get what was needed. She knew that the material needed to repair the other armor was special.

It was going to require specialized equipment as well. She does some research to see if she could locate some companies that would either carry the equipment. A long list appears on her computer screen. She tries narrowing it down, but there were just too many places.

A message from a member of her LARP group appears on her computer screen. It was Sabrina from House Vizsla.

“Nyx, are you alright?” Sabrina saw some footage that had leaked online.

“I’m fine. How did you find out that I had been hurt?” Nyx was curious.

“Some footage of you showed up on the dark web. Who was the woman that saved you?” Sabrina had been impressed with her shot.

“Her name is Tammy Vega and she’s a sharpshooter.” Nyx was impressed with the shot she did.

“Well, that was a hell of shot she did. I’ve never seen anyone do anything like that before.” Sabrina has gone to a few shootings competition because of her cousin.

“Yeah, she’s a hell of a sharpshooter. Hey, do you know who could have stolen that armor?” Nyx figures she could ask Sabrina because she kept up with development like that.

“Not really. Hawk Innovations doesn’t put out a lot on what they are working on. They try to keep everything in-house, but I might know someone inside their organization. Do you want me to do some snooping around?” Sabrina didn’t mind helping Nyx out.

“If it’s not too much trouble.” Nyx didn’t want her fellow house member to get in trouble.

“Hey, I’m a Mandalorian. Trouble is what we do.” Sabrina likes being a Mandalorian, even if it is make-believe.

“Just be careful. Do you need anything special for your armor?” Nyx didn’t mind helping a fellow clan member.

“Nope, but I was contacted by a member of Boogie Storm, and they want to know if you wouldn’t mind making several more suits of Storm
Trooper armor for them?” Sabrina had several friends that were dancers in their group.

“Not at all. Just send me the sizes of the wearer so I can custom fit the armor to them.” Nyx has met a few members of Boogie Storm. They were pretty good dancers.

“Alright. I’ll get in touch with you later.” Sabrina logs off.

Nyx downloads the information she has and heads towards the convention center. She had footage there from one of her display units she can get and analyze. She grabs a drink on the way to drink.

Defense Innovation Expo, Convention Center:
Nyx had to show her badge that she was issued when she entered her equipment to enter the place. As she approached her display, she spots Leland at the Wolf display site looking around. She doesn’t see Tammy anywhere. She retrieves the security footage from her display and walks over to Leland.

“Find anything?” Nyx looks at Leland for an answer.

“A few clues, not a lot. How about you?” Leland knew Nyx was supposed to do some research on places or equipment that the person would need to fix the damage Tammy did to it.

“I have a list of possible sources.”

“How long will it take to check them out?” Leland wonders if he should have some of his Pride mates check them out.

“About a day or so. It might be good to see which ones are nearby first and then check the isolated ones and by themselves.” Nyx figures they
could narrow the search some that way.

“Sounds good.” Leland looks around for Tammy and spots her walking towards them.

“Find anything?” Tammy looks towards Nyx and Leland.

“A few things. I pulled the security footage from my company display to see if I can spot anything.

“You had a security device at your display?” Tammy looks at Nyx with a puzzled look on her face.

“Yes, it allows me to see who was truly interested in my stuff and who was just browsing or investigating how made my items.” Nyx wanted to make sure no one copied her designs or process.

“Well, there’s not much we can do here. Let’s go ahead and leave.” Leland figures they weren’t going to find anything else at the place.

“Sounds good to me.” Nyx already contacted some of her people to come in and pack up her stuff to ship back to Georgia.

The three of them walk out of the convention center and head towards Leland’s SUV. As they are walking towards the SUV, a black SUV comes charging towards them. Leland wasn’t worried about himself, because he could take the hit. He pushes Nyx and Tammy out of the way.

He manages to jump onto the front of the SUV. There are guns shots as Tammy pulls her guns and starts firing at the SUV. The windows on the SUV shatter as the driver manages to shake Leland off the front of the SUV.

Leland lands on his feet like it was nothing. He looks towards the back of the SUV and memorizes the license plates. Tammy tries shooting out the tires but misses.

“DAMN!” Tammy watches as the SUV speeds off.

Tammy puts her guns away when she notices Leland standing near her. She looks at him “did you memorize the license plate number?”

“Yep, I got it.” The cat inside Leland was pissed because their prey got away.

“Looks like someone is interested in us.” Nyx figured it had to be whoever stole the armor.

“I would say so. We need answers.” Tammy looks at Leland.

“I know someone who can help us.” Leland knew a person who could run the plates.

“Who is it?” Tammy was curious now.

“You’ll see.” Leland takes Tammy’s hand and escorts her to his SUV.

They ARE GOOD! Now to the story....I wonder who Leland has to run the plates. Leave it to HEX he WOULD have things set up to watch his equipment. Now to track down the materials that are needed to fix the Armor that Tammy put a hole in.

Love Samantha Renée Heart.
