Billy’s and Sara’s Apartment, Santa Monica, California:
Sara was working at her workbench developing a new electric dart that keeps a charge but delivered 2,000 volts to a person when it is fired at them. She’s been working on the design for a while now and has miniaturized them down to the size she wanted.

The problem was, she was trying to build them into a specialized wrist shooter like her needle types are. She already designed a handgun to use them. But she wanted to be able to use them in a newly designed wrist shooter.

“Sara, lunch is ready.” Billy comes walking over to Sara’s workbench.

“Okay, let me make this last connection.” Sara carefully solders the capacitor she was installed in the new shooter.

Billy watches as her wife solders the capacitor into her new shooters. It has taken her wife several months to design and build her new wrist shooters. She knew the new wrist shooters will come in handy out in the field.

“There, I’m done.” Sara removes her soldering glasses and plugs the shooter into charge.

“So, does everything work?” Billy was curious as she leans down and look at Sara’s wrist shooter.

“I won’t know until the batteries are charged.” Sara turns to look at her wife.

“Well, lunch is ready. I was thinking about going down to the beach today. Why don’t you come with me?” Billy wanted to get some sun.

“Okay.” Sara gets up and heads towards the kitchen.

Billy and Sara sit down at the counter and eat their lunch together. Billy had made subs for them for lunch. Lately, they have been spending more time at home, because of the pandemic.

A few members of Billy’s family and some of Sara’s family caught Covid-19 and were in the hospital. If the president had reacted faster, instead of playing political games. Their family members wouldn’t be sick in the hospital now.

“How is Alice doing, Billy?” Sara knew Billy’s cousin Alice had contracted Covid-19 and was in the hospital.

“She’s doing okay. They caught it in time, and she should overcome it. I just wish they would hurry up and develop the vaccine for it.” Billy was worried about some of her other relatives. Especially, the ones that were first responders.

“I know what you mean. My brother has to wear a mask when he pulls anyone over and sterilizes his patrol car after his shift.” Sara has been staying in contact with her relatives.

“Well, don’t forget your mask.” Billy grabs her beach bag and their chairs.

“Okay.” Sara puts her mask on and follows her wife down to her car.

It was a short drive to the beach. When they arrive, they noticed that there weren’t very many people at the beach. Sara helps Billy with their gear and carries it out to the beach. They find a nice area that was away from the people already on the beach sunbathing.

Billy lays their blanket out on the sand and sets their small cooler on the blanket. Sara takes her mask off because no one was near them. She squirts some suntan lotion onto her hands and starts rubbing it onto Billy’s body. She loved touching her wife’s body.

When she is done rubbing lotion onto Billy’s body. Billy rubs some onto her body. Sara smiles when she feels Billy’s fingers slip under her bikini bottom. She looks at her wife “are we having fun?”

“Yes.” Billy gives Sara’s butt a light slap.

Sara just smiles as she watches Billy lay down next to her. She was enjoying the mandatory shutdown. Some of their favorite take-out places were hurting due to the shutdown and losing some of their staff. But they were still opened unlike a few places, that relied on foot traffic to come inside their place.

“I wonder how this is going to affect our missions.” Sara was curious.

“Me, not that much since I’m in the surveillance van. You, on the other hand, might want to consider wearing a head covering or mask while in your uniform.” Billy just hopes Sara doesn’t catch anything while working.

After about an hour, Sara and Billy head out into the ocean and chase each other. The two of them loved swimming and were experienced swimmers. They goof off for a while in the water and head back to the blanket to dry off. Sara sits down in her chair and looks around her.

There were families out enjoying the beach and ocean. Billy hands Sara flavored water.

“Thanks.” Sara opens it and takes a sip from the bottle.

While Sara is drinking her water, her cellphone starts playing the theme song to Hawaii Five-O. She pulls her cellphone out of Billy’s beach
bag and presses accept.

“Hello Alcides, what can I do for you?” Sara wonders what her brother wanted.

“Are you and Billy home right now?” Alcides was out on patrol and needed his sister and her partner to do a job for him.

“No, we're at the beach.”

“How long are you planning on being at the beach?”

“Alcides what is going on?” Sara wonders why her brother was pestering her.

“Look, I need to speak to you and your wife in private. It’s important.” Alcides hated going outside the chain of command, but he couldn’t trust anyone in his command.

“We can be home in an hour. Meet us at our place.”

“Alright, I’ll see you in an hour.” Alcides ends the call.

“What was that about?” Billy caught half the call.

“Alcides needs to talk to us about something. He wouldn’t tell me over the telephone what it is about.” Which has piqued Sara’s interest.

“I wonder why he is reaching out to us. He’s a police officer for the city of Santa Monica.” Billy was curious because her brother-in-law wanted to talk to them.

“Who knows.” Sara gets up and starts gathering their things.

She folds the blanket after shaking the sand off it. She puts it back into Billy’s beach bag.

“So, much for spending the day at the beach.” Billy was hoping they could get some sunshine.

“You know Alcides wouldn’t ask us for help or favor if it wasn’t important. He doesn’t like that we work for Mr. Bounty.” Sara follows Billy back to her car.

“I know.” Billy gets into the car.

Sara puts their things in and gets in the car as well. She fastens her seatbelt as Billy starts driving towards their apartment. Once they are inside the apartment, Sara starts stripping out of her bikini. She walks up to Billy and yanks on her bikini strings.

“You couldn’t wait until we got to the bathroom, could you?” Billy stands in the middle of the living room naked looking at Sara.

“No, because I like looking at your naked body.” Sara walks up to Billy and kisses her.

Billy returns the kiss and grabs Sara’s hand “come along my lovely wife.”

The two of them walk into the master bedroom and the bathroom. Sara sets the water temperature and switches it to shower mode. The two of them step inside the shower and wash each other’s bodies.

An hour later, Alcides, Sara, and Billy were sitting in the living room looking at each other. Alcides was in his police uniform wondering why he was sitting in his sister’s apartment. He knew she worked for a dangerous man and did a lot of things that would be considered illegal in the court of law. However, he needed someone who operated outside of the law to get evidence/ information about a company and what it did.

“So, big brother, what’s on your mind?” Sara looks at her big brother with a confused look on her face.

“I need a favor and it has to be kept off the books.” Alcides looks at Sara when he says those words.

“What’s the favor and why does it need to be kept off the books?” Billy was curious and wondering what was going on.

“Have the two of you ever heard of a company called Avari Pharmaceutical?”

“No, can’t say we have. Why are you so interested in it?” Billy wanted to know why Alcides was interested in the company.

“I’ve been hearing rumors of illegal experiments going on inside the place. The problem is the information I got came from a known drug addict with no proof to back up his statement. I can’t go the legal route on this.” Alcides wanted to get proof that experiments were going on inside the building.

“So, you figure since we do a lot of questionable jobs for Mr. Bounty. That you would ask your little sister and her wife to get what you need, am I right?” Sara looks at her big brother with mischief in her eyes.

“Yes, since you two can operate outside of the law.”

“We don’t technically operate outside the law, per se. We play in the grey areas of the law.” Sara was trying to make what they do sound not so dirty.

“You know what I mean, Sara. If you get caught or investigated, it can’t be traced back to me or the police station.” Alcides has always played by the rules. There’s only been a few times he has stepped over that invisible line.

Sara looks at her big brother and could tell this was bothering him. He has always tried to work within the system. It was one of the traits she loved about her brother.

“Don’t worry about it being traced to you or the police station. We are classified as Special Agents and there’s nothing you or the law can do about us.” Sara never told her brother about their classification before.

“How can you operate outside the law?” Alcides looks at her sister for an answer.

“Special order signed by certain individuals no longer around.” Sara knew that much about their operations.

“So, you're classified as black ops or kites?” Alcides knew a few people like that.

“Something like that. How soon do you need this information?” Sara would like to have time to scout the place out, so they knew what they were facing.

“I can give you at least a few days, Sara. This job needs to be done as soon as possible.”

“That is a short time frame, but we can do it.” Sara was sure they could do the job.

“Keep in touch with me, sis.” Alcides stands up to leave.

“I will, big brother.” Sara gives Alcides a hug.

Alcides returns Sara’s hug. He hopes everything goes okay. He turns and leaves the apartment.

Sara watches as her big brother leaves. She turns around and looks at Billy “so, what do you think?”

“I think we need to get to work. Are you up to this job?” Billy stands up off the sofa and walks over to Sara and looks into her eyes.

“Oh yeah.” Sara leans towards Billy and kisses her on the lips.

Billy returns the kiss and afterward, she walks over to her computer desk and starts looking up Avari Pharmaceutical. While Billy is researching the company, Sara grabs her keys and helmet.

“I’m going to do some physical scouting.”

“Alright, be careful.” Billy turns around in her chair to look at Sara.

“Always.” Sara grabs her backpack and walks out the front door of their apartment.

She heads down downstairs towards her motorcycle and mounts it. She starts it up and brings up the location of Avari Pharmaceutical on the HUD display on her visor. She pulls out of the parking lot and rides towards the location of the company.

According to the map on her HUD, it was going to take thirty minutes to arrive. When Sara arrives at the location. She finds a place to observe while being cloaked from view. She sends one of her scout drones out to survey the place.

The building was five stories tall and had a gleaming outside exterior. All the windows were the type of glass that absorbed solar energy from the sun shining on the glass. The parking lot was separate from the building and from the look of it, used card readers to let you in.

She sends the drone higher up above the building to get a bird’s eye view. There was an elevator service shack on top of the building, but you had to get to it from the roof access door. She couldn’t tell if there were any security systems up there.

She sends the drone around the building, being careful not to let it be seen. She scans each floor, locating where the big wig's offices were.
She summons it back to her and puts it back into her pouch. She glances at her watch and wonders what time they shut down for the night.

“Hey, Billy, what time do they shut down for the night?” Sara was curious.

“With the shutdown mandate in effect, they should send their employees home around six or seven o’clock.”

“Unless they are working on the vaccine.” Sara wonders if they were working on the vaccine, like the rest of the companies.

“Not according to their web page or any other government sites.” Billy had done a complete background search on them while she was at home.

“Can you penetrate their systems and help me bypass their security measures?” Sara knew Billy was a good hacker.

“Not with my desktop here at the apartment. I’ll have to use my computer aboard the mobile command center.” Billy couldn’t get into the systems from her homebound computer.

“Alright, why don’t you head to the command center and I’ll keep scouting this place out.” Sara figures it was going to be a long night.

“I’ll contact you in twenty.” Billy puts her system in sleep mode and grabs her security badge and keys for the mobile command center.

She grabs a soda from the refrigerator on her way out the door. She knew it was going to be a long night. She walks down to her car and drives to where the mobile command center was stored. When they didn’t need it or the mobile medical center, they parked it at a business owned by Chaos Private Security.

It takes her twenty minutes to arrive at an old bus terminal that had been turned into a storage lot for buses. She enters her code into the security console and watches as the gate opens. She pulls into the lot and heads towards the back storage area. She pulls up to the garage doors and enters her code into her cellphone. The doors were open for her as she drives into it. The doors close behind her as the lights come on.

She parks near the command center and walks over to the command center and enters her code to gain entry. She walks over to her station and power everything up. The command center was connected to the building power grid. She logs onto her computer and goes to work trying to break into Avari’s computer system.

Sara finds another place she could observe Avari from, without being spotted. She grabs some food from a nearby vendor and watches the company. The next few hours she records everything that goes on. The changing of the security guards, how many were on duty, what their routines were. She also monitors all cellphone traffic going in and out of the place.

She takes pictures of every employee, executive, and researcher that comes and goes from the building. She thinks she might have found a point of entry through the delivery area. She could easily blend in and slip inside. Security was kind of lacking in that area. They only checked the driver's identity coming into the place. They search under the trucks or anywhere else either.

Around two in the morning, Sara sends a text to Billy letting her know she was heading home. She puts her helmet on and heads home for the night. While she is heading home, she notices the car behind her had bright flashes of lights going on inside it. She watches as the car loses control and plows right into a parked car.

Sara wonders what caused that and turns her motorcycle around heads towards the wrecked car. When she approaches the wrecked car, she spots a young girl wearing some sort of yellow and black bodysuit. You could see her light brown hair underneath the lights.

Yellow Jacket spots a woman wearing a black helmet on a motorcycle coming towards her. She couldn’t see any weapons or anything on her. She looks at the men in the car she just escaped from. She raises her right arm, and a yellow energy beam comes from her gauntlet and incarcerates the men inside. Before the woman gets any closer, she shrinks down and flies off.

Sara stops and sits there in amazement at what she just saw. Whoever that girl was, possessed an amazing gift. She has heard of people who possessed amazing gifts, but she had never encountered one before.

“Billy, you aren’t going to believe what I just recorded.” Sara turns her motorcycle around and heads back to Billy.

Yellow Jacket follows discreetly from above the woman. She couldn’t fly as fast as the motorcycle was going, but she could still follow the person. She wonders who the person was and why they were dressed all in black. The motorcycle itself didn’t look factory, but custom. It didn’t make any noise.

She continues to follow the woman to an apartment complex. She continues to follow the woman up to an apartment on the third floor. She watches as the woman punches in a code on an electronic lock on the door. She darts in before the door closes on her. She spots a place she could hide and observe what was going on.

The woman she followed, removes her helmet. She could now see that the woman was of some sort of Asian ancestry. She watches as the woman strips out of a black suit and puts the backpack she was wearing on the back of a chair.

She keeps observing the woman as she moved about the apartment. She notices the place was decorated with all sorts of things. There wasn’t a central theme of how the place was decorated.

Twenty minutes go by and another woman with dirty blonde hair comes walking into the place. She walks over to the Asian-looking woman and kisses her. The two of them head into the bedroom.

Yellow Jacket waits an hour before she grows and starts looking around the apartment. She looks at some of the pictures mounted that showed both women she saw. When she walks by a small statue of a jaguar, the jaguar’s eyes flash red and turn its head towards her.

The next thing Yellow Jacket knows, she is on the ground doing the 50,000 volts jig. Sara and Billy come out of their bedroom in the nude and look at the figure jerking around on the floor.

“Get the zip cuffs and the collar. She can shrink.” Sara had the remote to the robotic jaguar in her hand.

Billy walks over to Sara’s workbench and grabs the zip cuffs. She makes sure to grab the collar as well. She grabs a set of rubberized gloves as well and puts them on. She walks over to the strangely dressed young woman and slips the collar on and the cuffs.

“Okay, you can stop shocking her.” Billy stands up and away from the person.

Sara presses the remote and the needles that had shot from it retract back into the statue and goes back to security mode. Sara walks over to her wife and looks down at the young woman “why are you trespassing in my home?”

Yellow Jacket turns to look at the woman and couldn’t believe she had been caught. Normally, she was careful about hidden security systems. She looks at the two naked women standing nearby. She tries to shrink to escape but gets a shock instead.

Billy and Sara look at the young woman and notices she starts jerking again. A smile appears on Sara’s face “I wouldn’t try that again. That collar measures your nerve impulses. It can tell when you try to use your special gift because your nerve impulses increase.”

“Now, why did you come inside my wife’s and my place and who are you?” Billy looks at the young woman.

Yellow Jacket looks up at the two naked women. She doesn’t know if she can trust them.

“Before I tell you why I am here. Who do you work for?” Yellow Jacket watches both women.

“Why should it matter?” Sara wanted to know why this young woman wanted to know who they worked for.

“Because, if you work for the government people that gave me my abilities. I am going to kill you.” Yellow Jacket wanted revenge for what the government turned her into.

“We don’t work for the government. We work for Mr. Jack Bounty.”

Yellow Jacket has heard his name among some of the people where she was created and trained. The people there wanted him and his organization wiped out because he didn’t play by their rules and they couldn’t control him.

“Look, I’ll tell you why I came here. But you need to stop these shocks, first.” Yellow Jacket was getting frustrated from the electrical shocks being given to her.

Sara looks at Billy “should I?” Sara had used her Cajun language to ask Billy.

“Yes,” Billy responded in Cajun as well.

Sara deactivates the collar. She looks at the young woman “don’t make me regret this.”

Yellow Jacket stands up off the floor and removes her head covering. She looks at both women “the name is Yellow Jacket and I work for the government, or I use to.”

“Why did you leave, Yellow Jacket?” Billy looks at the young woman with short brunette hair. Her hair cut reminded Billy of the ones the men get in the military.

“Because I am getting sick of killing people.” Yellow Jacket couldn’t believe the last assignment she had been sent on.

The agency she worked for. They sent her to kill an autistic teenage boy that could crack their codes with ease. He could figure out any of the coded messages they sent without a decoder.

“Our government sent you to kill people, why?” Sara was curious.

“Before I answer you two, can you at least cover your bodies up first, please?” Yellow Jacket was having a hard time taking two people in the nude, serious.

“Does our nakedness bother you?” Billy was curious.

“It’s hard to take you two serious when you are standing in front of me naked.” Yellow Jacket wasn’t into women, not in a sexual way.

“No problem.” Sara turns and leaves Billy with Yellow Jacket.

Sara walks into her and Billy’s bedroom and grabs their nightshirts and a pair of panties as well. She puts hers on before walking back out into the living room. She wonders why the government created someone like Yellow Jacket.

Sara walks back into the living room and over to Billy “here you go, sweetie.”

“Thanks.” Billy gets dressed, while still watching Yellow Jacket.

“Is this better?” Sara wonders what Yellow Jacket was thinking.

“Yes, and thank you.”

“Why don’t we sit down and let you start from the beginning?” Sara walks over and takes the handcuffs off, and the collar as well.

“Thank you.” Yellow Jacket walks over to a nearby recliner and sits down.

Billy and Sara sit together on the sofa. They look at Yellow Jacket “alright, start talking.”

Yellow Jacket takes a breath and looks at Sara and Billy. She hopes she isn’t making a mistake telling them this information.

“As you know, our government doesn’t always tell the public everything they are doing. Back during the Cold War are government started experimenting with enhancing the human body. They would build on the experiments the Nazis did during World War II. Hitler would send out scientific teams to investigate rumors and look for alien devices and such. Well, one of his scientific teams uncovered a strange alien device that could rewrite the human gene. However, it didn’t do him any good because the war was coming to an end. So, the device was hidden away. If Germany couldn’t have it, no one could.

So, since 1945 this device has been hidden away in a secret location. It was eight years ago when a group of explorers found the bunker that this device had been hidden in along with a few other devices and items. Of course, the discovery was kept quiet and our government
smuggled it out of Germany.”

“I don’t mean to interrupt you, but how do you know all about this history of the device?” Billy was curious.

“Because I did some sneaking around and found the archives where they store all records of who has been experimented on and how many failures they have had. For the device to give people special abilities like mine. They have to be born with an extra gene in their DNA makeup.
They tried to give normal people abilities like mine but couldn’t. The first time they used their abilities, it killed them. It could enhance their
physical attributes or change them, but couldn’t give them special abilities.”

“What do you mean by changing them?” Sara was curious and so was Billy.

“I mean they could take the genetic make-up of a person and change another person into them. It didn’t matter if it was a man or a woman.
They could take a man and change him into a fully functional woman or take a woman and turn her into a fully functional man.”

“How could they do that?” Billy wanted to know.

“There’s a special chemical that is needed that Avari makes. It’s based on the same chemical that women carry in their bodies when they are pregnant with a developing fetus. It’s those chemicals in that developing fetus that can be used to rewrite a person’s genetic code and change them. However, it is extremely hard to reproduce, and other chemicals are needed as well. As for the device, it can use that chemical to unlock and reprogram a person's genetic structure to develop special gifts. However, the person has to have an extra gene in their makeup to be changed.”

“So, how many people have that extra gene in their makeup?” Sara was curious.

“About one percent do, but sometimes it manifests itself in unusual normal ways. Nothing like what mine did when it was activated.”

“So, this device you are telling us about, needs a certain chemical that is found in pregnant women to work? Why don’t they just pull the chemical from pregnant women?” Sara figures there has to be a lot of Pregnant women around.

“It’s not that simple and the quantity alone is extremely high. The device needs the chemical to change a person.” Yellow Jacket covers up a yawn. She has been on the run for the past four days getting very little sleep.

“You look like you tired. We can continue this in the morning. You’ll be safer here in our apartment. I’ll get you something to wear other than your working suit.” Sara gets up to head to her and Billy’s bedroom.

“Thank you.” Yellow Jacket starts taking her boots off.

Billy gets up and heads towards the linen closet and grab some sheets, blanket, and pillow for Yellow Jacket. She moves the coffee table and pulls out the hidden bed built into the sofa.

“It’s more comfortable than it looks.” Billy makes it up.

“It’s better than where I have been sleeping lately.” Yellow Jacket finishes undressing.

Billy noticed she was a little shorter than Sara and had a slimmer well-toned build to her. She also had small to medium size breasts. The type that would allow her to wear an A cup bra or a small B cup bra. She could also get away with wearing no bra with the right type of shirt.

“Here you go YJ. These should fit you. They are the smallest I have available.” Sara walks into the living room with a pair of shorts, panties with kittens on them, and an old Iron Maiden t-shirt.

“Thank you.” Yellow Jacket accepts them.

“You know, we need to come up with a better name for you, other than YJ or Yellow Jacket when you are out of uniform.” Billy looks at Yellow
Jacket.

“I haven’t used my real name in a long time, but you can call me Katelyn.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Katelyn. I’m Billy and that black hair woman standing in front of you is my wife, Sara.”

“Thank you both.” Katelyn felt she could trust these women.

Once she lays down on the foldout bed, she falls instantly asleep. It felt so soft and better than where she has been hiding out until her capture. She falls into a deep sleep.

“Come on, sweetie. Let’s go to bed as well. We can ask her more questions in the morning.” Billy takes Sara’s hand and pulls her into their bedroom.

The two of them lay down in bed and snuggle. As she falls asleep, she thinks about what Katelyn told them. She feels she could trust her. She was good at reading people’s body language.

For the next two days Katelyn, Sara, and Billy work together to map out every security system, guards, and everything they needed to know. Katelyn had informed Sara and Billy that Avari does do some testing onsite. However, the testing normally took place down under the building in the lower levels where security was to the extreme. Biometrics scanners, body reading software that could compare how you moved with what was on file.

The servers that contained all the information from the experiments and development of the chemical, weren’t connected to the main. It was an isolated system that you had to access. Which for her, wasn’t a problem, because she could use the ventilation system to move around in. However, there was no way Sara could get to them, without setting off a security system.

If the volunteers they were experimenting on were still on the property. They were kept in hotel-quality rooms.
Sara looks at Katelyn “do you think you could get into the server room and plug a device in?”

“That’s if they haven’t shut those ports down, yeah, I could get in there. What do you have in mind?” Katelyn knew she could easily get into the system.

“I was thinking I could come down the elevator shaft.” Sara was looking at the plans they constructed.

“Okay, but what are you going to do after that? The security system down there will pick you out right away.”

“Not unless you haven’t entered her metrics in the server.” Billy looks at Katelyn.

“Ah! I see what you are getting at. Once she’s in the system, she could pass all the systems easily.”

“By George, I think she has it.” A smile appears on Sara’s face.

On the third night Sara, Billy, and Katelyn put their plan into action. They chose nighttime because the place didn’t have so many people in it. Sara manages to get past the security guards on duty without a problem.

She uses a fire key to access the elevator that went down to the lower levels. She uses the climbing grips she had to climb down the shaft. If she had to, she could release them to free-fall faster.

Once she reaches the floor, she needed access. She covers her working suit up with a white lab coat and fake badge and exists onto the floor. Katelyn had given the okay to Billy that she was in the system.

She walks down the hallway without setting the security system off. She had her jammer on just in case they go back to review the footage. They would get nothing but a distorted image.

“So, far so good, guys.” Sara continues to walk to where the people were held.

“Don’t jink it, Trickster.” Billy knew how her wife sometimes gets overconfident.

“Killjoy.” Sara checks the holding area but doesn’t find anyone.

She checks the computer system and finds out that the ones that had been here, were moved out to something called The Citadel. She records the information and turns around to leave. She knew a lab was nearby. She couldn’t get the evidence her big brother needed, but maybe she could get what they were working on instead.

Sara walks into the lab where the chemical and device was being used. She takes pictures of it and the whole setup. As she looks around, she spots the chemical itself. It was a blueish color crystal substance. She takes two of the bags it was in and leaves the lab.

“Alright, I got what we came for. Let’s get the heck out of here.” Sara heads back towards the elevator and goes back up the cable.

Once she gets to the top floor, she opens the elevator door. As she opens the elevator door, a security guard was standing on the other side of it. Sara was surprised that there was a guard there.

“Hi, do you come here often?” As she swings out of the elevator shaft and knocks him down with her feet.

Sara lands on her feet, as she starts running towards the front doors. She spots several more guards trying to cut off her escape route.

“Sorry guys, but I can’t stay and play.” Sara tosses some flash pellets at them to blind them.

One of the guards manages to pull his gun and fire at her. The bullet hits Sara’s left shoulder but doesn’t do any harm to her.

“Better try again fellows.” Sara runs past them and tosses several of her explosive balls at the glass door.

The glass door explodes, sending glass and debris towards her. Several pieces of glass cut the skin on her neck. She ignores them and runs out into the night. She has already planned her escape route. She disappears into the night and meets up with Katelyn and Billy later.

When Sara meets up with everyone, she shows them what she took. When she looks at Katelyn, she notices she wasn’t sure about something.

“What is it, Katelyn?” Sara looks at Katelyn for an answer.

“That doesn’t look right. This stuff is different than the stuff they used on me and several others.” Katelyn looks at Sara.

“Are you sure?” Sara picks up one of the bags and looks at it.

“It’s got the same markings and such, but it's different.” Katelyn didn’t know what to make of it.

“Damn! That means I got the wrong stuff.” Sara lets the bag drop to the table.

The bag rips open and a small cloud of the stuff shoots upward towards Sara. She inhales it and gets it on her skin where the cuts are. She falls to the floor and her body starts shaking.

Billy and Katelyn run over to Sara’s shaking form. Billy looks at Katelyn “what is going on with her?”

“I don’t know.” Katelyn tries to get Sara to stop shaking and gets zap from touching her.

“That stuff is activating the dominant gene in her DNA. Don’t touch her right now.” Katelyn knew that gene that the stuff worked on, only
occurred in one percent of the population.

Who knew she would run into someone else that had that gene in their DNA. The shock she received felt like it was electrical energy. She wonders if Sara will be able to generate her own electric energy.

After a few minutes, Sara’s body stops shaking. She just lays there looking tired.

“I’m going to change, touching her.” Billy starts reaching for Sara.

“Be careful.”

“I will.” Billy kneels beside Sara’s body and touches her.

She doesn’t get shocked by touching Sara. She also notices that Sara’s hair now had blue streaks of neon blue highlights in it. She picks her wife up and lays her down on the sofa.

“I thought you said you need that machine to activate the gene with the stuff.” Billy touches Sara’s forehead and felt that she had a slight temperature.

“You did. They must have refined the process and created something else.” Katelyn was confused about everything.

“Is there anything else we should be worried about?” Billy didn’t like that they were in the unknown here.

“I don’t know. That stuff is new, and I don’t know what it is capable of.” Katelyn looks at the bag and saw where it had popped open.

“Looks like we are spending the night here.” Billy makes Sara comfortable as she puts a monitoring device on Sara’s forehead. It looked like something they used in the movie Star Trek.

“So, what do we do now?” Katelyn wonders how long they are going to wait here.

“We’ll see how she is by morning.” Billy walks over to the refrigerator in the command center and grabs a frozen dinner. She looks at Katelyn
“would you like one?”

“Yes please, I’m starved.” Katelyn hasn’t eaten anything in the last forty-eight hours.

Billy pulls out another frozen meal for Katelyn and puts them in the microwave. While the microwave is warming the meals, she looks over towards the table where the stuff was. She wonders what it was and how it worked.

After the meals are ready and the trash is thrown away. Billy goes back to downloading information from Avari’s servers. She watches as Katelyn sits down in a nearby chair and slowly starts to doze off. She looks at the medical data she was getting from Sara and notices a spike in her electrolytes.

Sara’s brain activity was normal for her and so were the rest of her vitals. Billy makes sure she records everything, that way they can go back and compare Sara’s vitals to her old ones. As for the information she was receiving from Avari’s computer network. She finds what Sara’s brother needs, but the problem is. There weren’t any experiments going on when they penetrated the place. The rest of the night, she gathers the intel, while Sara and Katelyn slept.

Alcides receives an email from Billy. He opens it and it shows pictures of experiments that had taken place at Avari. She also shows him the chemical they recovered and informed him his sister has been exposed to it. She does inform him, that she is doing fine.

He sends a reply that he’ll be by tomorrow evening to check on her. Alcides worries anytime his sister is hurt. She has a bad habit of getting either injured or hurt.

Sara’s and Billy’s Place, The Next Day:

Billy looks at her wife as she sat on the sofa. She still looked so tired and worn out.

“How are you feeling, sweetie?” Billy hands Sara an energy drink.

“Thanks.” Sara accepts it and takes a sip from it.

The ring app on Sara’s and Billy’s cellphone let both of them know, someone was at their door. Billy looks at who it was and saw Alcides at the door. She walks over to the door and opens it.

“Hi, Alcides. Please come in.” Billy steps aside to let Alcides into the apartment.

“Hey Billy, it's good to see you again.” Alcides walks into the apartment and spots his sister curled up on the sofa.

Billy closes the door behind him. She knew Katelyn was in the bathtub taking a nice long bath. She was so happy to take a nice relaxing bath.

“It’s good to see you as well, Billy. How have things been with you?”

“I think you already know that answer, Alcides.” Billy walks over after closing the door and sits on the sofa next to Sara.

Alcides sits down in a recliner nearby. He looks at his sister and his sister-in-law.

“So, tell me. What happened last night.”

“Okay, but don’t get mad.” Sara knew how her brother was.

Billy tells Alcides everything that took place and what happened afterward. She watches his reaction the whole time. She explains that they had no other choice in the matter.

Alcides listens to what his sister and her wife tell him. He shakes his head at certain parts of the story and gives his sister a look of I can’t believe you did that type of thing. When both of them are finished explaining everything.

“So, what are you going to do with the rest of the chemical you found?” Alcides looks at his sister when he asks that question.

“It’s going to be turned over to whomever my boss tells me to turn it over too. This stuff is too dangerous to let out on the streets.”

“You could give it to me as evidence.” Alcides it would help his case.

“You know as well as we do, someone will take it out of evidence and replace it with a fake. So, I rather deliver it to whomever my boss tells me to. Then I would know it would be safe.” Sara didn’t trust the police with evidence this sensitive.

“Why do you trust the people your boss would want you to deliver it to?” Alcides has never met his sister’s boss.

“Because he isn’t a man you want coming after you. If you give your word to him, you better live up to it. He doesn’t tolerate betrayal.” Sara knew the rumors of Mr. Bounty and what happens when you betray him.

“Well, just keep me in the loop, little sister and I hope you feel better.” Alcides gets up and hugs his sister.

“Thanks, big brother.” Sara hugs him back.

“You’re welcome.” Alcides turns and leaves the apartment.

Two Days Later:
Katelyn was watching a movie and enjoying a nice hot sub that Billy made. Sara was over at her workbench working on some sort of gadget that could harness her electrical ability. Billy was at her computer desk looking over everything they downloaded from Avari’s severs.

The ring app on Billy’s and Sara’s cellphone beep letting them know someone was at their door. Sara looks at her cellphone and notices it was two men dressed in black suits and wearing dark sunglasses.

“The Men In Black are here.” Sara gets up and walks over towards the front door and opens it.

Agent Ronald watches as the front door opens at the apartment of Sara and Billy Evans. He spots Sara Jefferson opening the door. It had taken them only a few days to locate their resident.

“What can I do for you, sir?” Sara looks at the older man standing before her.

“May we come in?” Agent Ronald looks at Sara.

“That depends, Mr.?”

“Ronald, Agent Ronald.” He looks at Sara.

“Well Mr. Ronald, what are you here for?”

“It’s a sensitive matter, Mrs. Jefferson. One that I would prefer not to talk about out on your apartment landing.” Agent Ronald knew his partner was standing behind him and that a tact team was nearby.

“Okay, please come in.” Sara opens the front door wider and steps aside to let Mr. Ronald and his partner in.

Agent Ronald walks in first, followed by Agent Brinkley. Once they were fully inside the apartment, Sara closes the door behind them. She walks around them and stands in front of them.

Katelyn spots the two men and knew agent Ronald. He was in charge of capturing her. She puts her sub down on the paper plate on the coffee table and looks at him.

“Hello, agent Ronald. I hope you got my message.” An evil smile appears on Katelyn’s face.

“I’ll deal with you later, young lady.” Mr. Ronald gives her an evil smile.

“I don’t think so, Mr. Ronald.” Katelyn lets her fingers glow.

“Gentlemen, must I remind you that you are a guest in my home. Any violence that occurs here, will be met by an equal or greater force.” Sara wasn’t going to allow any fighting in her apartment.

“Very well, some other time.” Agent Ronald and Agent Brinkley look over towards Sara.

“So, gentlemen, what can I do for you?”

“You can give back what you took.” Agent Brinkley had answered.

“Umm, No! I don’t think so.” Sara wasn’t going to turn over anything.

“You will if you don’t want to go to jail for stealing government property.” Agent Brinkley was willing to have backup come in and arrest these women.

“We don’t think so, agent Ronald.” Billy had a smile on her face.

“Ladies, we’re not going to ask twice.” Agent Brinkley wasn’t going to put up with any sass.

“This is what going to happen, Agent Ronald. You and your partner there are going to leave and never come back. As for the stuff I took from you, it’s going to go to my boss, after I inform him what was going on. If he decides to return it, then that is up to him.” Sara will let Mr. Bounty decide what to do with it.

“And who is your boss?” Agent Brinkley looks at Sara.

“The big bad wolf. He is someone that you never want to come after you.”

“You don’t mean Jack Bounty, do you?” Agent Ronald has heard about him.

“The one and only. So, how about you walk away and go back to where you came from.”

“I don’t think so. Give us what you took, or we’ll take it from you.” Agent Brinkley was getting tired of the talking.

“And I am telling you, Mr. Agent. That it's going to my boss and if you want it back. You can talk to him. And believe me, if you try to take it by force. You’ll regret it.” Sara was willing to go to war.

“Are you daft, man? My wife said no and if you don’t leave now. We will call the cops to remove you.” Billy had her cellphone in her hand.

Katelyn was ready to spring into action. She has been sitting quietly watching both agents.

“You do know we have back-up, outside.” Agent Ronald looks at Billy and Sara.

“You do know we don’t care, don’t you?” Sara had their apartment wired to take out any intruders.

Agent Ronald looks at Sara and the other two girls. The question was, was he willing to start a war with someone who is known to leave crarters where cartel homes use to be.

“This isn’t over.”

“Yes, it is, and if you want to go to war, with Mr. Bounty. He’ll be happy to let you dig your graves.”

Agent Ronald looks at his partner “let’s go. This is a lost cause.”

“Are you sure?” Agent Brinkley looks at his partner.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Agent Ronald turns around to look at Sara “there will be a consequence for this matter.”

“I’m more than happy to send you to the hospital or jail any time.” Sara opens the front door “your time has expired gentlemen.”

Agent Brinkley and Agent Ronald turn and walk out of the apartment. Sara shuts the door behind them.

“You better tell our boss.” Billy looks at Sara when she says that.

“Oh, I will and I bet he’ll handle this his normal way.” A smile appears on Sara’s face.

Twenty years ago, St. Elm Hospital, Santa Monica, California:
Agata and Ghalen Jefferson look at their first grandchild through the glass window in the nursery. Their second oldest daughter and her husband had just had their first child.

“She looks so much like her mother, Ghalen.” Agata looks at her granddaughter with a huge smile on her face.

“I know, wait until Brenda has her child.” Ghalen couldn’t believe both his girls were pregnant at the same time as each other.

Agata spots a lone child all by himself. She couldn’t read the card attached to his crib. She looks around and spots a nurse she knows “hey Britney, why is that little boy all by himself?”

Britney walks over and stands next to Agata “his mother died giving birth to him and we haven’t been able to find any relatives, to take him. So, he’s going to end up going to a foster family. He’s lucky he is a baby because most foster families want a newborn.”

“What race is he?” Ghalen spotted the little boy, that his wife and Britney were talking about.

“He’s Filipino and was born a week early.” Britney felt sorry for the little guy.

Agata kept staring at the little fellow and her heart went out to him. Most of her and Ghalen’s kids were grown and were leaving home. The only one still at home was Harry and he was planning on joining the military as she and her husband did at his age.

Agata looks at her husband “let's adopt him.”

“You know, it might be difficult for us, being African American.” Ghalen knew social services normally try to place newborns with their kind.

“I don’t care. We both have successful businesses and are in good standing in our community.” Agata so wanted to adopt that little boy.

“I think I can help increase your chances. I know the social worker handling his case. She’s a good friend of mine.” Britney knew her girlfriend
Laura didn’t care about placing kids with their own culture. She tried to find parents who wanted to give their love and such to a child.

“Any help you can give will be grateful, Britney.” Agata wanted that little boy.

“I’ll see what I can do for you two.” Britney knew Agata and Ghalen would make good parents to that little boy.

Six Years Later:
“Agata, your son looks so cute dressed in that Princess outfit.” Betty looks over at the table Danilo was sitting at and was coloring.

Agata stops what she was doing and looked at Danilo. He was dressed as Bella from Beauty and the Beast.

“He does look cute. He is very picky about what he wears.” Agata has noticed that Danilo wanted to dress more and more like his female cousins.

He already liked playing with baby dolls and having tea parties. He was nothing like his older brothers and wasn’t interested in anything that was for boys unless it was electronics. He loved electronics and learning how things work from his father.

Betty looks at Agata “does it bother you and Ghalen that Danilo prefers girl things, instead of boy things?”

“We are a little concerned, but if it makes Danilo happy. Then we are happy as well. We don’t care if Danilo prefers to dress and act like a girl.”
Agata and Ghalen had talked about it and they were going to let Danilo be who he was meant to be.

Two Weeks Later, Darlene’s Acrobatics, Gymnastics, and Cheerleading:
Officer Jefferson had been dispatched to Darlene’s because of a complaint from some woman accusing another woman of kidnapping a child. When he pulled up to the gym, he spotted his little brother and older sister facing off with an outraged white woman with black hair. The woman’s young daughter was standing away from her.

Diana felt embarrassed with the way her mother was acting towards Danilo’s sister. She knew they were related because she has ridden home with them. She also has met Danilo’s mother as well.

Brenda looks at the white woman accusing her of kidnapping her little brother. Saying that he couldn’t be related to her, because she was black, and he was Asian. Which, Danilo wasn’t, he was Filipino. She was ready to smack the woman, but she was controlling her anger. She spots a police car pulling up and notices it was her younger brother. A smile appears on her face as she watches as he walks over to them.

Danilo was standing behind his older sister still dressed in his leotard and tights. He was scared for his sister and himself. The woman arguing with his sister was scary.

He spotted his older brother Alcides getting out of his police car. He relaxes as he watches him walk towards them. He could tell his brother was confused about what was going on.

Alcides walks up to his sister and the white woman standing in front of her. He looks at them “what seems to be the problem, here?”

Virginia looks at the police officer that just spoke. He was fairly tall and well built. He was also African American as well.

“This woman is trying to kidnap that young Asian girl.” Virginia points towards Danilo, who was standing behind Brenda.

“What makes you say she is kidnapping that young boy?” Alcides knows Danilo has been mistaken a few times as a girl, because of the way he looked.

“Because she’s black and he’s Asian. There’s no way they could be related to each other.” The woman looks at Brenda and Danilo.

“She’s my sister, you stupid woman.” Danilo had grabbed Brenda’s hand.

A smirk appears on Alcides's face. He was proud of his little brother.

“Ma’am, I happen to know for a fact that this young woman is this child’s sister. I also know for a fact that he isn’t a girl, but a boy, and on top of that. He isn’t Asian, but Filipino.”

“And how do you know that officer?” The woman looks at Officer Jefferson.

“Because they are members of my family. The woman you are accusing of kidnapping is my older sister and the young boy behind her, is my little brother. Now, why don’t you and your daughter go ahead and leave, and I’ll classify this matter as a misunderstanding.”

The woman looked confused. She couldn’t believe that all three of them were related.

“Come on Diana, let's head home.” The woman turns and walks away from Officer Jefferson and his older sister.

They watch as the woman and young girl get into a car and drive off. Danilo was glad the matter was over. He looks up at his older brother “thank you, Alcides.”

“You’re welcome, Dani.”

“God! What is it with people nowadays? Haven’t they heard families can be from different cultures?” Brenda shakes her head.

“Stupid is as Stupid does.” Danilo quotes Forest Gump.

“That is so right, little brother.” Alcides ruffles Danilo’s hair.

“Hey!” Danilo tries to flatten his hair.

“We need to speak to mom about getting you a haircut.” Brenda looks at Danilo.

“I don’t want a haircut. I like my hair long. I want to grow it down to my butt, like some of the girls in my class.” Danilo looks at his brother and sister.

Brenda and Alcides look at each other. They wonder if Danilo should have been born a girl or if he was like their gay cousin William. They figure they should talk to their parents about this.

“Let’s go home, so you can change out of your leotard.”

“I like wearing it. It makes me look like a girl.” Danilo follows his sister to her car.

Officer Jefferson just shakes his head and walks back to his patrol car. He calls in to let dispatch know the matter has been handled. He wasn’t looking forward to filling out the paperwork.

Halloween of that year:
Danilo looks at his reflection in the mirror in his bedroom. His mother had gotten him the pink power ranger costume to wear to the party his friend Billy’s parents were throwing for all her friends. Billy was dressing as the red ranger.

“Dani, come on or you’re going to be late,” Shanice yells up the stairs to her cousin.

“Alright, I’m coming.” Danilo leaves her bedroom and head downstairs.

Just as she reaches the bottom step, there is a flash of light. Danilo stands still as the spots in her eyes disappear.

“Mom!” Danilo looks towards his mother.

“Sorry sweetie, but you looked so nice.” Agata looks at Danilo with a proud look on her face.

Since her oldest daughter and next oldest son told her and Ghalen what Danilo said several months ago about wanting to wear his hair like the girls in his class. Also, how he liked wearing the leotard. They decided to take Danilo to a counselor to see how serious he was about what he said. It finally came out that he felt like a girl and wanted to live his life like one.

They decided to go ahead and let Danilo dress and go to school as a girl. They had to meet with his teacher and the school principal and explained things to them. So, Danilo was becoming a girl.

Thirteen Years Old:
Sara climbs up the rope ladder leading to the platform that was at least twenty-five feet off the ground. There was a cable spanning a distance of fifty feet leading to another platform directly across the one Sara was climbing up. Also spanning the fifty feet between the two platforms was a safety net.

“You be careful up there, Sara.” Agata watches as her youngest climbs up the rope ladder.

“I will, mom.” Sara finally arrives at the platform.

She looks down towards everyone below her. She has been practicing this for weeks on the trick. Sara starts her trick on the highwire. She wants to see what the reaction is from her parents and friends, but she dares not to break her concentration as she nears the end of the trick.
The cable she is on is set on fire. She could feel the heat from the flames, as she manages to escape before the flames reach her.

She drops onto the safety net and flips out of the net, onto her feet before everyone.

“Tada!” Sara raises her arms into the air.

Sara watches as everyone starts clapping, whooping, and hollering. She is grabbed by her parents and hugged.

“Don’t you ever do that again? You scared me and your father.” Agata looks into her daughter’s eyes.

“Sorry mom, but I can’t promise anything.” There was mischief in her eyes as she looks into her mothers.

“What am I going to do with you?” As Agata hugs Sara again.

“What you always do mom.” Sara returns her mother’s hug.

St. Joseph High School, Several Weeks Later:
Billy and Sara were walking towards their hallway lockers, when Elliot, the school bully stops at his locker. Sara stops and stops her friend Billy “Billy you have to watch this.”

Billy was surprised when her friend Sara stops her. She looks towards Elliot like Sara was doing.

“What did you do now?” Billy knew Sara liked playing pranks on the mean students in their high school.

“What do you mean what did I do now? I’m innocent.” Sara had a cheshire smile on her face.

“Yeah right.” Billy knew her friend better than that.

Elliot opens his locker door and just as it opens all the way. Glitter explodes outwards towards him, showering him in rainbow color glitter. All the kids around him start laughing at him and pointing.

“I can’t believe you wasted perfectly good glitter on Elliot.” Billy had a smile on her face as she tried not to laugh.

“He shouldn’t have picked on Bobby yesterday.” Sara had seen Elliot threatening Bobby because he wouldn’t give him his lunch money.

The two of them smirk as they head towards their math class. Both of them were the top math students in the school and was in the math club. They take their seats and start copying the assignment their teacher had put up on the blackboard.

Billy had five AP classes, compare to Sara, who only had three AP classes. Both girls had AP math classes together. They also had an AP English class and Sara had an AP language class. She could speak five different languages fluently. Her normal speech had a Cajun accent to it because her mother was from New Orleans. Her father was from Georgia and he still had a heavy Southern accent.

Sara was talking to Billy in her Cajun dialect when their teacher enters. It wasn’t their normal teacher, but a substitute teacher. She looks at Billy as the teacher came in and sat down at his desk. He was a big man and looked like he lost a few fistfights.

Williams heard someone in his class speaking in a Cajun accent. He looks out towards the students and notices two young girls were talking in Cajun. He didn’t understand what they were saying, but he knew he didn’t like it. He noticed one girl was Filipino and had long silver-colored highlighted hair, while the other girl had long dark red hair and freckles that went across her nose and under her eyes.

“You need to speak English in my classroom, young ladies.”

Sara looks at their new teacher and responds in Cajun French about not understanding what he was saying. She asks him to please repeat himself, but slowly so she could understand him.

Billy tries not to smile, as she watches Sara have some fun with their math teacher. She notices that he didn’t understand a single word Sara said to him.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t understand you. If you’re going to stay in this class, you need to speak English, young lady.” Mr. Williams looks directly towards Sara.

Sara looks towards Billy and asks her in Cajun French what their teacher just said. She knew, but she just wanted to have some fun.

“He said if you’re going to remain in this class. You need to speak English.” Billy had responded to Sara in Cajun French.

Sara just gives the new teacher a dirty look as she turns and pays attention to him. The rest of the class goes by without any problems, but she does ask questions in Cajun French much to the annoyance of her teacher. She always looks at Billy when he answered her. The rest of the class knew Sara spoke perfect English.

By the end of class, Sara noticed Mr. Williams was happy to see her leave. As Sara is walking past his desk “I speak perfect English, Mr. Williams. Maybe you should be more understanding towards other cultures.”

At Age Sixteen:
Ghalen grips the dash as Sara backs the car out of the driveway. She hits the trash can as she turns the car to face in the opposite direction.
“Sara, use your mirrors and stop riding the brakes.” Ghalen looks at his daughter as he tries to teach her how to drive.

“Okay, dad.” Sara shifts to drive and press the gas pedal.

Ghalen never had this much trouble teaching his other children how to drive. He watches Sara as they head down the street. He makes sure she uses her mirrors and could see out of the side of her eyes as they drove.

For the next hour, they drive around the neighborhood. He has to remind Sara to relax and enjoy herself. He could tell she was nervous.

“I don’t understand how you can be so nervous driving but can climb extreme heights without a safety harness or walk tight ropes hundreds of feet off the ground without a safety net.” Ghalen knew Sara loved doing dangerous stunts and tricks.

“I have more control over those things, dad. Driving requires a different type of skill sets I haven’t developed yet.” Sara manages to drive them home without having any accidents.

The next few weeks, she goes out driving with her father. Her mother didn’t trust her enough yet. So, the only time she could practice her driving was with her father and older brother. Her older sisters wouldn’t let her drive their cars.

One day, while she and her father were coming back from picking up a bunch of electronics. There was a police chase going on behind them. Sara spotted the car the police were chasing coming towards them.

Ghalen heard the sirens behind them and saw the cars coming towards them. He watches as they got closer to the “Sara, pull over and let them pass us.”

Sara does the opposite of what her father said. Instead of pulling over to get out of their way. She slams on the brakes and the car that the police were chasing, slams right into the rear end of their car. The airbags deploy as the impact sets them off.

She is knocked unconscious from the impact. The next time she wakes up, she is in a hospital room. Her head was wrapped up and her mother was sitting next to her bed.

“What happened? Where’s dad?” Sara looks at her mother with a confused look on her face.

Agata looks at her daughter “you’re in the hospital sweetie and your father just went to get some coffee.”

Agata had gotten a call from her son and was informed that her husband and Sara were in the hospital. Her husband had suffered some minor injuries from the accident, but Sara had taken the brunt of the impact. The other car had hit right behind the driver side corner of their car. He spun their car completely around. Sara had hit her head on the front windshield. The airbag took the brunt of the impact, but Sara had been knocked out.

“Is daddy mad at me, mom?” Sara shouldn’t have done what she did.

“Yes and no, sweetie. Your father is upset that you didn’t do what he said. But at the same time, he is proud of you. The person who had hit
you had killed a female police officer.” Agata had been informed by her son that the woman had two little children.

Ghalen comes walking back into Sara’s hospital room and spots her awake. He walks over and sits in the other chair next to her bed “how are you feeling sweet pea?”

“Like someone hit me with a hammer.” Sara could feel the huge bump on her head.

A grin appears on Ghalen’s face. He knew Sara had a gash as well that had been closed with twelve stitches.

“I’m sorry daddy, for not doing what you told me.” Sara was watching her father.

“That’s water under the bridge sweetie. All that matters now, are you getting better.” Ghalen couldn’t stay mad at his daughter, not after seeing blood coming from her head.

“I promise to do better, daddy.” Tears were leaking from Sara’s eyes.

“I know you will sweetie.” Ghalen hugs his youngest.

Agata also hugs Sara as well. The three of them stay like that for a little while. Afterward, the nurse comes in to check on Sara. She spends three days in the hospital.

Her older sister comes and checks her out on the third day. Billy was with her. She had spent a whole day with her on the second day. They worked on the schoolwork she had missed, and Billy caught her up on the latest gossip going around school about her accident.

After a few weeks out of the hospital, she is taken to a driving school. She was still a little skittish about getting back behind the wheel of a car. However, she summoned up the courage she needed to get back behind the wheel.

Her brother signed her up for an offensive driving course. He figured if Sara was going to be doing what she did, she needs to learn how to do it safely.

Prom night, two years later:
Sara looks at the prom dress her sister had helped her buy. Billy had asked her to be her prom date. None of the males at school bother to ask her out for prom. They were either too scared of her or thought she was too much of a nerd.

She was known at school as a class clown, but she was also known to punish people who bullied or took advantage of other students as well. It didn’t matter if the person was a student or a teacher. She would make sure they pay for their actions.

Her older sister Brenda knocks on her bedroom door, before walking in. She stops to look at Sara “that dress looks nice on you, Sara.”

“Thanks. I couldn’t have afforded it without your help, sis.” Sara turns around to look at her older sister.

“Dad would have given you the extra cash to buy it, Sara. You’re the baby of the family.” Brenda and the rest of her siblings had been a little upset that their parents were going to adopt a newborn.

However, after hearing how Sara had lost her mother while giving birth to her and that she had no other relatives to take her. They warmed up to her and treated her as if she had been born from their parents.

At first, it was a major adjustment, because Sara was Filipino, and the family was African American. However, everyone eventually adjusted to the fact that there was a Filipino child in the family.

“I think you’re right, but I wanted to do this on my own.” Sara worked for her father in his shop.

“Well, I think you made the right choice, little sister. Who would had thought that the little Filipino boy mom brought home eighteen years ago, would grow into a gorgeous young woman?” Brenda smiled at Sara’s reflection.

“Thanks, sis.” Sara turns around and hugs her older sister.

Brenda returns the hug. After a few minutes “come on, let's head downstairs so mom can take pictures of you and Billy.”

“Mom and her camera.” Sara knew her mother loved taking pictures.

“Hey, you should have seen her when she first got it.” Brenda smiles as they walk down the stairs.

Billy was dressed in a tuxedo and was holding a corsage. A smile appears on Billy’s face when she sees Sara.

“Wow! Now I am glad you made me wait to see you in that dress.” Billy was impressed by how beautiful Sara looked.

Billy had already decided that she didn’t want to wear a prom dress, but her father’s old tux. She and Sara have been very good friends since elementary school. She wasn’t a typical girl and always broke the typical stereotype of what a girl was supposed to do. She knew Sara wasn’t a genetic girl either. The two of them were so similar in everything they did, that they were like twins.

Billy puts the corsage on Sara’s wrist. They stand still, so Mrs. Jefferson could take pictures of them. Sara felt like she was on cloud nine with her best friend next to her.

Ghalen and Agata look at their little girl and couldn’t believe how beautiful she looked, standing next to Billy. They sometimes wonder if Billy was gay and had a thing for Sara. They knew Sara thought very highly of her friend Billy and her parents.

A horn beep outside the house. Brenda walks over to the front door and opens the door. Parked outside was a stretch limo that Sara and some of her friends had chipped in to rent for the night.

“Well, we better leave.” Sara gives her mother and father a hug.

“Billy, you have Sara back here by midnight.” Ghalen looks at Billy.

“Okay, Mr. Jefferson.” Billy waves goodbye to everyone as they walk out to the limo and get in.

The limo takes them to the prom and drops them off. The driver was going to wait for them. Sara and her friends go inside the school and have their pictures, and such taken together. The band that had been hired played mostly 80’s music, but Sara and the rest of the kids didn’t care.

When the band started playing slow music for couples, Sara drags Billy out onto the dance floor. She wraps her arms around Billy and leans into her “I am going to kiss you.”

“Are you sure, about this, Sara?” Billy seemed a little nervous.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Sara starts kissing Billy out on the dance floor.

Billy returns the kiss as they continued to dance. She enjoys kissing Sara as they danced to the music. A few times, she had to stop kissing Sara, because of the teachers monitoring the dance. Around eleven o’clock, they leave the prom with their friends. As they are heading home, they make out in the back of the limo.

Just as Sara decided to give Billy oral sex like her friends were doing to their dates. The limo is pulled over all of a sudden. Everyone inside is told to get out and bring their wallets and purses with them. Sara activates an app on her cellphone and tucks it into the seam of the seat.

When all the people, including Sara and Billy, are standing outside of the limo. They spot six men wearing black clothing and they had their heads covered as well. They were also carrying semi-automatic rifles.

“What do you want with us?” Sara looks at one of the men.

“We want Billy Evans. Which one of you is Billy Evans?” The men look at all the girls first.

“Wrong car, dumbass. She left the prom early.” Sara steps close to Billy.

“We know she is here. Now, you either turn her over to us or we’ll start shooting you one by one.” The tallest of the six men look at each one of them.

“If I were you, I would be on my merry way, because the police have been notified.” Sara had a smile on her face.

“I don’t think so, little girl. None of your cellphones are working right now.” One of the men holds up a black box.

“Now, give us Billy Evans.” One of the other men comes walking over to Sara and Billy.

Sara acts quickly and punches the guy when he gets close to her and Billy. Her movements were restricted because of her prom dress, but she does manage to get a punch in on the guy. She looks at Billy “RUN!”

Billy turns and starts running away from everyone. She doesn’t look back at her friends and schoolmates. She wonders what they wanted with her.

“Come back here, you brat.” One of the other men start running to get Billy.

“Oh, no you don’t.” Sara sweeps his legs out from under him.

When he falls towards the ground, his rifle goes off. The bullet from the rifle ricochet off the road behind Billy and hits her in the lower back. Billy drops to the ground.

“No!” Sara stands up from the guy she was wrestling with and runs towards her friend.

She scoops up a cellphone that had fallen from one of the guys. She runs towards her friend to see if she was alright. When she gets close, she could see Billy laying face first on the road. She hears the three cars take off.

“Billy, please don’t be dead.” She goes to turn Billy over.

“Don’t turn me, Sara. The bullet hit me in the back.” Billy felt the bullet hit her in the lower part of her back.
Sara dials 911

“911, what is your emergency?”

“I need an ambulance immediately 800 blocks of Ingle street. My friend has been shot in the back.” Sara was worried about Billy.

“One is being dispatched as we speak. Can you tell me what happened?”

“My friend was shot by some guys that tried to kidnap her.” Sara knew there was more. She was feeling guilty because it was her fault the gun went off.

The ambulance and paramedics show up. They take over and do what they can for Billy. Sara walks back to the limo and grabs her cellphone. She noticed that the limo driver was talking to the police. She looks upfront of the limo and notices his cellphone.

The phone was locked, but she saw the pattern on the screen and manages to unlock it. She scrolls through the numbers he called and finds the one he dialed that matched the numbers in the phone she had. She takes a picture of it with her phone. She puts his phone back where it had been.

All the parents of her friends show up. When Sara’s parents show up “mom, dad we need to get to the hospital. Billy was shot.”

“Alright, baby.” Agata knew how close they were.

“Tell us what happened, sweetie and why your prom dress is such a mess.” Ghalen noticed how dirty Sara’s prom dress was.

Sara tells her parents what happened from the beginning. She felt responsible for Billy getting hit in the back by the bullet. Agata tries to comfort her baby, as she held her.

Ghalen watches in the rear-view mirror as his wife tries to comfort their daughter. They arrive at the hospital, where they spot Billy’s parents and her little brother. Sara rushes to Mrs. Evans and hugs her. She knew how close Billy and her mother were.

“Any word, Mary about Billy’s condition?” Agata was curious about how Billy was doing.

“Nothing yet. She’s being prep right now for surgery.” Mary was worried about her baby girl.

Billy’s father looks at Sara “what did the men say, when they pulled the limo over?”

“All they wanted was Billy and there were six of them. I tackled one, so Billy could get away. Another one started going after her and sweep his legs out from under him. When he fell, his gun…” Sara breaks down into tears.

Sara felt guilty that her best friend had been injured because of her actions. She holds onto her mother for support.

“Sweetie, there was nothing you could have done differently. You tried saving your best friend.” Agata holds her baby as she cried.

Several hours later, the doctor operating on Billy comes out. He looked tired as he removes his mask. He walks over towards them.

“How is she?” Mary and her husband stood up.

“She’s going to be fine. The bullet had gotten jammed between her vertebrae. We managed to remove the bullet without any problems.”

“Oh, thank god.” Mary was happy her baby would be fine.

“So, Billy will be okay, with no problems?” Sara looks at the doctor for an answer.

“She’ll be fine, with little side effects.” Doctor Kling figures she’ll have some minor damage.

“Oh, thank god. When can I see Billy?” Sara wanted to see her best friend.

“Tomorrow. She is still unconscious and will be for a while.”

“I want to stay with her.” Mary wanted to stay with her baby.

“That shouldn’t be a problem.”

Mary looks at Sara ‘I’ll keep you inform, Sara.”

“Okay.”

Agata and Ghalen take Sara home. When they get home, Sara heads up to her bedroom and strips out of her prom dress. She heads towards the bathroom and fills the tub up. She was thinking about how she was going to find the people responsible for hurting her friend.

All she had right now, was the limo driver’s information and the phone from one of the men. She didn’t know anything about tracking the other phones down, but she did know someone from one of her clubs at school that does know.

After taking her bath and getting dress in her pajamas. She lays down and tries to go straight to sleep. It doesn’t take her long before the events of the evening come crashing down on her.

Sara looks down at Billy as she laid in her hospital bed. She felt so sorry for what happened to her.

“Why the long face, Sara?” Billy was holding Sara’s hand.

“Because it’s my fault the bullet hit you in the back.”

“Stop blaming yourself for that. You didn’t know that it would happen.” Billy hated seeing Sara blaming herself for what happened.

Sara places a kiss on Billy’s lip. She will get the people responsible for hurting her friend.

“I hope you don’t mind me doing that.”

A smile appears on Billy’s face “no, I don’t mind.”

Sara stays for a few more hours before she has to go and see her friend Nick. She mounts her motorcycle and heads to where Nick works, which was an electronics store that sold cellphones and accessories. She was wanted to bring the men that hurt Billy brought to justice.

It takes her about twenty-five minutes to reach the store. She spots his late model Toyota Camry in the parking lot. She parks her motorcycle in the space next to it.

As she walks into the store, she spots Nick talking to a customer about a refurbished Apple iPhone. She stands at the counter and waits until he is finished. Once Nick is finished ring up the customer “hi Nick.”

Nick smiles at Sara “What brings you down here today?” Nick has always liked Sara.

“I need a favor and I’m hoping you can help me out.”

“That depends on the favor. What is the favor you need?” Nick wonders what Sara needed. He knew she was a practical joker and also use tricks to get revenge on people.

Luckily, he has never been on the receiving end of her revenge tricks. He saw her pull one of her revenge tricks against a guy that uses to tease him in their school. The boy was stuck looking like a smurf from the trick she pulled.

“Can you track some cellphone numbers for me and tell me where they currently are?” Sara was hoping Nick could help her.

“Does this have something to do with what happened to you guys last night?” Nick heard about it from a friend of his, who heard about it from
one of the girls that were there.

“Yes, do you think you can help me?”

“Let me see what you got.” Nick holds his hand out towards Sara.

Sara hands the cellphone she found last night to Nick. She hopes he can do something with it.

“There you go.”

Nick looks at the phone. It was one of the cheap ones his store sold. He plugs it into his laptop and starts tapping away. He manages to locate the other numbers. He zooms in on the location.

Sara looks around the shop at the different cellphones and accessories for sale. One cellphone catches her eyes. It was a Pixel 4 XL and it was going for twelve hundred dollars.

“I’ve located them, Sara.” Nick looks over towards Sara.

“Good.” Sara walks over to Nick.

Nick puts his laptop onto the counter and shows the location. Sara knew the location from going on patrols with her brother. She knew it would take her about fifteen minutes to get there from Nick’s store. If she left from her parent’s place, it would take her twenty-five minutes.

“Are you sure you want to do this, Sara?” Nick looks into Sara’s hazel eyes.

“Yes, they tried to kidnap Billy and one of their guns went off and landed in Billy’s back.”

“How is Billy?” Nick was concerned about her.

“She’s doing okay right now. The doctor managed to remove the bullet from between her vertebrate.”

“Ouch! She was lucky the bullet didn’t shatter her spine.”

“I know, so yes, I want revenge for what they did and to find out why they wanted Billy.”

“Isn’t Billy’s father involved in that cartel case going on? Wasn’t it his forensic work that is being used?” Nick kept up with the latest criminal cases.

“I think your right. That would explain why they wanted Billy last night.” Sara forgot about the cases Billy’s father was involved in. He didn’t talk about his work at home.

“Now, I can get revenge for Billy. Can you print that out for me, please?”

“Sure, no problem. Just be careful Sara. I would hate to read about you dying.” Nick presses print and prints a copy out for Sara.

“Not a chance. I’m too squirrely and clever for that to happen.”

“Well, just be careful in case.” Nick grabs the copy he printed out and hand it to Sara.

“Thanks.” Sara folds it up and puts it in her back pocket.

“You’re welcome.” Nick watches as Sara walks out of his father’s store.

Several Hours Later:
“Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.” Sara was dressed in an old Batwoman costume she wore for Halloween last year.

She removes two homemade flashbangs and tosses them into the building where the guys were. They go off, as she burst through a window, that explodes inward. As she lands, her right foot slips out from under her, because of the broken glass.

She manages to get up off the floor before the six guys could recover. She punches the nearest guy to her. She spins kicks another guy and activates the electrical circuits in the glove, she was wearing, and shocks another one.

Sara falls forward, from being hit from behind. One of the guys had managed to hit her. The guy she punched, grabs her and tosses her onto the floor. He starts punching her. The other guys come over and start punching, kicking, and beating her with whatever they could put their hands on.

Sara tries to protect herself, as the six guys beat and kick her. She cries out in pain, as they hurt her. The suit was absorbing some of the damage, but she was feeling the rest.

The next thing she hears is the growling sound of an animal. One of the men is taken down by that animal. The other five men start falling to the ground, like a shotgun sound.

“Sàil!”

Sara watches as the huge dog that had attacked one of her attackers stops. She watches as a tall, well-built muscular guy kneels next to her. He scoops her up off the floor and stands up with her.

Sara looks at the man “I had them, just where I wanted them.” As a weak smile appears on her face.

“I could see that. If you’re going to be doing this type of work. You’re going to need training.” Jack carries Sara out to a black Ford F350.

“Are you offering?” Sara was hurting all over. She could feel she had several broken bones.

“Let’s see how you are after you’re all healed up.” Jack places Sara into the F350 carefully.

Sara wonders who this guy was. She watches as the biggest fucking dog she has ever seen jumps up onto the front passenger seat. She finally passes out from the pain.

Two Years Later, Several Days before Events in Stand by Your Woman:
“Thanks for the lift, Simon.” Sara exists from the Uber ride she took from her hotel room.

“Any time and thanks for the big tip.” Simon liked how big of a tip he received from Sara.

Sara stands in front of her family’s restaurant. It’s been two years since she has been home, since accepting Mr. Bounty’s offer to work for him. She takes a deep breath and walks into the restaurant. The place was busy, which was a good sign. She had been worried since her older
sister Brenda informed her that her mother was having financial troubles.

She passes some of the waitresses she knew and put her finger to her mouth. She wanted to surprise her mother and sisters. Both her older sisters were working full time with their mother.

She enters the kitchen “what’s a girl got to do to get a good bowl of gumbo around here?” She used her Cajun French speech.

Agata was busy fixing an order when suddenly, she hears Sara's voice. She looks up from what she was doing and spots her baby girl standing a few feet away from her.

“Hi, mom.” Sara walks over to her mother and gives her a big hug.

Tears run down Agata’s cheek as she holds her baby girl. It’s been two years since Sara has been home. She steps back to look at her baby.
She liked how the custom dress suit she was wearing, showed off her figure and the small dangling earrings hung from her ears.

She notices Sara’s skin has gotten a little darker. She also notices that Sara was wearing make-up that highlighted her facial features. She couldn’t believe how grown up her baby was now.

“When did you get in?”

“Just a few hours ago, mom. I flew in from South America.”

“Where are you staying and how long are you in town?”

“I don’t know how long I am staying, yet. I have an assignment I need to complete.”

“What type of assignments do you do sis?” Brenda was curious about what her little sister did.

“It all depends what Mr. Bounty needs me to do. I’ve done body guarding, escort services, courier services, and several other different types of jobs.” Sara looks at her sister.

“Does that include taking people’s lives?” Her other sister Sasha looks at her.

“Nope, that’s not my job. That is done by a different group of people. People that are scary and are very good at what they do. The only time I do something like that is in self-defense. And even then I try very hard not to.”

Sasha just looks at her little sister and wonders if she was telling the truth. She uses to be able to tell, but now she couldn’t.

“Well, I don’t care. I have my baby back. You go out and claim a table and I’ll have some gumbo brought out to you.”

“Thanks, mom. I have missed all of you and you’re cooking.” Sara places a kiss on her mother’s cheek.

“It’s good to have you back home, sweetie.” Agata hugs her daughter one more time, before letting her go and sit down.

Sara walks out of the kitchen and over to her favorite table in the restaurant. The same table she sat at when she was a little boy, wearing princess costumes.

Sara looks at all the boxes and containers that have been delivered to her and Billy’s place. All their stuff from South America has finally arrived. She goes about unpacking one room at a time. Her wife, Billy was helping her father at his forensics lab.

While she was being trained by Mr. Bounty, her wife was recovering from being shot and learning to become a computer forensics analyst. Billy was just as smart as she was, if not smarter.

“Alexa, turn volume up by twenty-five percent.” Sara was listening to her favorite playlist, as she works.

She was happy to be back home after being away for the past two years. She spent three months at a specialized training facility over in Europe. That was after she had her SRS surgery after she was rescued by Mr. Bounty. In return for what he did for her, she agreed to work for him. She also asked him to look after her girlfriend Billy.

He not only looks after her, but he also paid for her schooling and took care of her medical bills. While Billy was going to school, she was doing special jobs for him. She went undercover as an escort for a rich baron visiting England. She spent several weeks undercover watching over him. Then she was assigned to another job. Her first year was working for Mr. Bounty’s European branch. The reason she spent so long in
Europe, was because she was good with languages and could adapt easily. She has worked with high-level royalty to blending in with street and common people.

It was within her second year working for Mr. Bounty that she found out her girlfriend Billy had been offered a job working for him as well. They got married when they did a job in Argentina.

Sara finishes putting the living room together and heads into the kitchen to put away all the kitchen stuff. A smile appears on her face, when she pulls out the knife set, they bought together. Not only were they extremely sharp, from being laser edged, but strong as well. She could use them to kill someone with them.

By the time she finishes setting up the kitchen and moving onto the dining room. It was around lunchtime and instead of cooking something for lunch. She orders some Vietnamese food to be delivered to the apartment. Billy and she had found it the first day they had been out looking for an apartment.

While she waits for the delivery, Sara continues to unpack the containers and boxes. Fifteen minutes later, there is a knocking noise coming from the front door. She walks over and looks through the peephole and spots a young Asian man with her delivery.

Yang hears the door unlock and opens. Standing in front of him was a short Filipina woman. She had silver highlights in her shoulder-length hair and had on a light gray oversize shirt and a pair of leggings.

“So, how much do I owe, you?” Sara looks at the young man standing in front of her.

“Fifteen dollars, ma’am.”

“Here’s a twenty. Keep the change.” Sara hands a twenty-dollar bill to the young man.

“Thank you, ma’am.” Yang hands the order to Sara, as he accepts the money.

“You’re welcome.” Sara accepts the order.

Yang turns and leaves, after tucking the twenty-dollar bill inside his pocket.

Sara watches as the young delivery guy walks off. She turns around and head back into the apartment and walk over to the sofa and sit down. Her mouth starts watering when she smells the aroma coming from the paper bag.

She takes out her order and starts eating it. She knew Billy loved this type of food as well. She’ll have to take Billy out sometime this week. As of right now, she was on mandatory leave by order of Mr. Bounty.

After lunch, she sets up her workstation and arranges Billy’s desk the way she likes it. She also sets up Billy’s desktop computer. She didn’t have Billy’s passwords, so Billy will have to establish connections to some of her secure sites.

She glances at the wall clock and notices it five in the afternoon. She wonders when Billy will be home. She walks into the kitchen and looks at what they have. In the freezer, she had some frozen meals from her mother’s restaurant. Her mother knew how much she loved her food. She also had the additional food she and Billy had bought a few days ago.

She wasn’t sure what she was in the mood for, so she pulls out everything she needed to make tacos. It was their fallback food when neither one of them felt like cooking. She pulls one of her favorite knives and chops up some lettuce, tomatoes, onions. She also grates some cheese. She could have bought a bag of grated cheese, but she and Billy liked using blocks of cheese.

Outside Parking Lot:
Billy couldn’t believe the information she found on the computer at her father’s lab. There were so many naked pictures of children and teenage girls that she found. That it made her sick to her stomach. She knew people could be perverted and such, but those were little children. How could anyone get their jollies off pictures of little kids?

She spots her wife’s motorcycle as she pulls into her assigned parking spot. She figures Sara must have spent all day at home, getting everything unpacked. All their stuff from their South American villa finally arrived.

She heads up to their apartment and when she walks in, she smells the aroma of homemade tacos. She notices her desk and the desktop computer had been set up. She walks over and hangs her purse from the back of her chair. She sets her laptop bag, next to her desk.

She spots Sara in the kitchen cooking. She could already see that everything had been set up for tacos and that most of the boxes and containers have been unpacked.

“I see you have been busy today.” Billy walks into the kitchen to kiss Sara.

Sara returns the kiss “I almost have everything unpacked. So, how was your day?”

Sara could tell that Billy looked tired. She knew Billy loved working with her father, so something must have been upsetting.

“Let’s just say, I saw things today I never want to see again.”

“Is it worst than some of the jobs we have done?” Sara knew they have done some sick jobs.

“Yes, I would rate what I saw today, worse than anything we have done. On a scale of one to ten. I would rate it an eleven.” Billy walks over to the refrigerator and grabs a cold soda.

“Okay, do I want to know what your father had you doing today?” Sara knew, since she was on mandatory vacation, Billy was going to work for
her father.

“I don’t think it is wise for me to say, sweetie. If I told you, you might want to kill the person we’re gathering evidence against.” Billy knew Sara all too well.

“Wow! It must be bad if it will set me off.”

“So, how much longer, before dinner is ready?” Billy tastes the hamburger meat to see if it needed more spice.

“It’s ready now.” Sara turns the stove off and scoops the meat into a serving bowl.

“Are we eating in here or in the living room?” Billy starts making her tacos.

“Wherever you want to.” Sara makes her tacos after Billy makes hers.

“Let’s watch a movie.” Billy wanted to watch something to get what she saw today, out of her head.

“Okay, how about Son in Law with Pauly Shore?” Sara liked the movie.

“Sounds, good to me.” Billy didn’t mind it.

Sara puts the movie in and sits next to her wife. She and Billy enjoy their tacos and the movie. When the movie finish and they were done
eating “why don’t you go and take a shower, while I put the leftovers away?”

“Thanks, sweetie.” Billy was feeling a little better.

“You’re welcome.” Sara places a kiss on Billy’s lips. She loved kissing her best friend/wife.

Billy starts stripping out of the clothes she was wearing and walks into the bathroom. She steps into the shower and gets the water the way she wanted it. She just let the water cascade down her fit body. During her physical therapy, her nurse suggested she starts exercising.

So, while Sara was off training and she was recovering. She started exercising and getting into shape. She also started lifting weights, so she could develop some muscles and trim her body. She washes her body and hair. She lets the water wash away how she was feeling.

Sara gets undress after cleaning the kitchen and putting things away. She grabs some bottles of massage oil and lays a towel down on the bed. She figures she’ll give Billy a body massage.

Billy steps out of the shower and dries off. When she steps into the bedroom, she notices the lights were turned off and several scented candles were burning. She spots Sara over at their bed standing in the nude.

“Come on over and let me give you a full body massage.” Sara pats the bed.

A smile appears on Billy’s face. She knew there was a reason she loved Sara so much. She lays down on the towel on the bed. She feels Sara straddle her body as she sits on her butt cheeks.

Sara straddles Billy’s naked body and sits back on her butt. She puts a little bit of oil on her hands and starts rubbing it into Billy’s skin. The oil heats some, as she continues to rub it on.

“You have some tight muscles, sweetie.” Sara tries to loosen the muscles up.

Billy was enjoying Sara massaging her body. She loved the oil Sara had picked out. It heated up when applied to the body. It had a nice floral
scent to it, that the two of them loved.

She lets out a moan when she feels Sara work on the tense muscles she has. Goose pimples form when Sara stroke the sides of her breasts. She feels Sara’s hands moving down her body.

“Spread your legs open for me, sweetie.” Sara moves down between Billy’s legs.

Billy spreads her legs open for Sara. She feels Sara move off her butt and move between her open legs. She shivers when Sara’s hands start rubbing her legs.

Sara leans in and rubs Billy’s thighs. She leans in and licks between Billy’s legs. She loves tasting Billy.

Billy shivers when she feels Sara lick between her legs. She was finding it hard, to keep her legs open. She feels Sara lick her again and a low moan escapes from her mouth.

Sara licks Billy again and hears Billy let out a low moan. A smile appears on her face as she continues massaging her legs.

“Flip over, sweetie, and keep your legs open.” Sara moves out of the way.

“You just want to get between my legs and tease me some more.” As Billy flips over so she is laying on her back.

“Yes and no. I want to play with your breasts.” Sara puts some more oil on her hands and starts massaging Billy’s body.

Billy just lays still and lets Sara have her way with her. She feels Sara massage her breast and then start kissing down her abdomen and down between her legs. She grips the towel under her body when Sara buries her head between her legs and starts licking her.

The next few hours, Sara and Billy explore each other’s bodies. They end up in so many different positions. Billy let Sara be the dominant one during their lovemaking. They end up falling asleep embraced in each other’s arms.

When morning comes around, Billy wakes up with Sara snuggled against her body. She felt the hickey Sara left on her neck and her breasts. She looks down at Sara’s sleeping form and places a kiss on her cheek. Afterward, she manages to slip out of bed, without waking Sara.

Billy freshens up and gets dress. She still had work to do at her father’s lab. She looks in on Sara one more time, before leaving for work.
Sara stretches as she was slowly waking up. She rolls over and sniffs the pillow Billy used last night. She so loved how her wife smelled. She didn’t want to get out of bed, but she was meeting up with her mother and the rest of her family today.

She gets up out of bed and strips the sheets off. They smelled from their oil bodies and lovemaking from last night. She tosses them into the washer and hops into the shower to freshen up.

When she finishes her shower, she puts on one of the dresses she bought in South America. She looks over at her workbench and wonder should she wear some of her special bracelets. She thinks back to one of her jobs back in France.

She made the mistake of not being prepared or keeping her guard up. It almost cost her, her life. She walks over to her workbench and puts her special bracelets on. She also pockets some of her smoke pellets and explosive pellets she uses for distraction.

She grabs her cellphone and calls her favorite Uber driver. While she is waiting for them to show up. She grabs some spare cash from the lockbox she keeps stored under the bed.

Her phone beeps to let her know, the driver has arrived. Sara grabs her purse and heads downstairs to the Uber driver. A smile appears on her face when she gets in.

“Where to, Sara?” Simon looks at his favorite passenger.

“My mom’s house, Simon.” Sara knew Simon knew where her mother lived.

“No problem.” Simon drives Sara to her mother’s house.

When they arrive, Sara noticed her two sister’s cars were there and her brother’s car was there as well. She pays Simon and gives him a nice tip.

“I’ll call you later, Simon.” As she gets out of the car.

“Okay.” Simon watches as Sara exits from his car. When she was completely out, he heads towards his next pickup.

Sara walks up the sidewalk towards the front door. She knocks on the door and waits to see who was going to answer. After a few minutes, the front door opens and standing on the other side was her father.

“Hi, daddy.” Sara hugs her father.

“Hey, sweet pea.” Ghalen hugs his youngest daughter.

He was so proud of the work she has been doing lately. He was also happy she was home, safe and sound after being away for two years. He closes the front door behind her as they walk towards the living room where the rest of the family were.

Agata gets up and walks over to her husband and Sara. She hugs Sara.

“Hi, mom.” Sara returns her mother’s hug.

“Where’s Billy?” Agata liked Billy a lot.

“She’s working with her father on a case.”

“Isn’t she a computer expert?” Ghalen was curious why Billy’s father would need her help.

“She is, but there are other skills she has that can be helpful.” Sara knew Billy had intense training in a lot of scientific programs, while she was being trained by Mr. Bounty.

“Oh? What other skills does your wife have?” Agata looks at Sara for an answer.

“Well, that’s something I don’t know, mom. While I was being trained, she was getting training as well.” Sara couldn’t tell her mother everything they did.

Agata just looks into Sara’s eyes. She could always tell when her daughter was hiding stuff from her.

“Mom, there are things I can’t tell you or daddy. The things I do, and Billy does have to be kept secret.” Sara wishes she could tell her parents everything.

“Okay.” Agata just smiles at her daughter.

“So, what are we doing today?” Sara looks at her parents.

“We are going to have a family day.” Ghalen couldn’t wait for his other children to arrive with their grandchildren.

Twenty minutes later the rest of the family shows up. Sara was happy to see her sisters again, and both her older brothers as well. Along with their wives and children. She was surprised that her older brother was in town. She didn’t know he was station here in California.

Pierre walks up to Sara, while she was in the kitchen helping with a side dish. Their mother still wouldn’t allow her to do any cooking.

“So, little sister. I’ve been meaning to ask you. What type of work do you do for this Mr. Bounty person?” Pierre was curious about the things he has heard about Mr. Bounty.

“I do escort work sometimes, other times I do courier work or intelligence work for him. Why? Did you hear something that has you worrying about me?” Sara looks at her older brother.

“I’m going to always worry about you, little sister. It’s my job as your big brother. I’m just concerned about what type of work you do.”

“Well, do you mean, do I assassinate people? Or am I a trained killer?” Sara looks at her older brother for an answer.

“I’m just being cautious is all. I’ve heard stories about your employer and the type of work he does.”

“Well, let me tell you this. I don’t know what you heard, but I can tell you he does things that sometimes or own government won’t do. There is
a lot I have seen that shouldn’t be allowed to exist, but it does. The rich want to stay in power and they don’t care who they hurt. However, that isn’t my job. My job is to scout and gather information about things. Mr. Bounty has specialized teams that do that type of work.”

“And you trust him?”

“Yes, I trust him with my life. Remember that night I went after the people who hurt Billy?”

“Yeah, I remember. Mom and Dad were concerned when they got the call from the hospital about you being hurt.”

“Who do you think saved me that night? If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here right now.”

“You were stupid thinking you could take those guys on, by yourself. You should have called Alcides and let him handle the matter.”

“They hurt the person that meant a lot to me, Pierre. The whole thing had been a setup to force Billy’s father not to testify against them. I wanted them to pay for hurting her. I would have done it for any of you if someone hurt you guys.”

“You’re not the law, Sara. We have rules and no one is above the law.”

“Unfortunately, big brother, the law doesn’t apply to the wealthy or the well connected. They either have the money to buy themselves out of it or strike you even from prison. They have the connections to hurt you or those you love. Trust me on this. I have seen what happens.” Sara has done a lot of work for Mr. Bounty in the last two years.

Pierre just looks at his little sister and hopes she isn’t selling her soul. He’ll trust her judgment on this matter for now.

“Come on, we better get outside before mom starts wondering where we are.” Pierre picks up a few items to carry outside.

Sara spends the rest of the day with her family. Later in the evening, she gets a ride from her younger brother back to her apartment. As she walks into the apartment, she notices that Billy was upset. She walks over to her and gathers her up in her arms and just holds her.

“Another bad day?”

Billy nods her head yes, as she buries her face against Sara’s shoulder. She found more images on the computer that was more disgusting than the ones she found yesterday. She just holds onto Sara and wonders what makes a person do what they do.

Sara holds onto her wife and lets her calm down. The case she was working on with her father was affecting her. She is surprised when Billy starts kissing her aggressively. She feels Billy shove her hand down into her pants and start aggressively fingering her.

“I see someone is feeling better. Why don’t we take this to the bedroom?” Sara picks up Billy and carries her to their bedroom.

When they arrive in the bedroom, Billy stands up and tosses Sara onto the bed. She starts taking her clothes off. Sara doesn’t resist, because she knew when Billy was mad or angry, she became sexually aggressive. She didn’t mind, because she loved being treated roughly by Billy.

The next two hours, Billy channels her anger into having rough sex with her wife. She knew Sara didn’t mind, if nothing else she enjoyed it. As they lay in bed together, she turns and looks at Sara.

“Thank you. I needed to release my anger.”

“I’m glad you are feeling better.” Sara was feeling sore from the rough treatment.

“I’m sorry I was so rough with you.” Billy kisses Sara.

“Hey, I love pain. You know that.” Sara returns the kiss.

The two of them fall asleep next to each other.

A couple of days later, while Sara is out shopping. She spots a middle-aged couple harassing an Asian couple out walking their dog. She walks over to the two couples “hey, why don’t you morons leave this nice couple along.”

Sara was standing next to the Asian couple as she looks at the other couple. She wonders why they were being so mean to the Asian couple.
The middle-aged man looks at Sara “why don’t you go back to your country, you Chink!”

A smirk appears on Sara’s face “I am in my country, you jackass. Why don’t you be a good little boy and leave and take that Karen of a girlfriend with you.”

“You can’t talk to me like that. I’m an American, I was born here. You’re the foreigner here. You Chinese, bitch.” The woman looks at Sara with a disgusted look on her face.

“First off, dumbass. I’m not Chinese, but Filipino you dumb bitch. Secondly, I was born here in California. So, why don’t you and Ken over there leave.”

“You can’t talk to us, like that you Chink.” The man starts moving towards Sara.

Sara stands her ground and just smiles. She was looking forward to this. She touches a button on her wrist shooters.

“This is your only warning, Ken. Get away from me, before something bad happens to you.”

“What are you going to do to me, chink?” The man pokes Sara in her shoulder.

“This!” Sara launches the needle from her wrist shooter into the guy.

The needle buries itself into the man and he starts shaking from the electrical charge coursing throughout his body. Sara notices the middle age woman moving towards her boyfriend.

“I wouldn’t touch him, right now.”

The woman ignores Sara’s warning and grabs hold of her boyfriend. The electrical charge coursing through the guy travels through the woman as well. Both start shaking as the electricity does its job.

“I warned you not to touch him, Karen.” Sara taps the button on her wrist shooter.

The electricity being sent down the thin wire into the needle stops. The needle pulls out of the man’s body and back into the wrist shooter. Sara glances at the charge indicator to see how much she had left.

She looks back at the two middle-aged people “now, why don’t you be like a tree and leave?”

The couple looks up at Sara and wonders what the hell just happened. Every muscle in their body was hurting and they were still twitching.
They slowly stand up and start walking away from her and the Asian couple.

The Asian woman turns towards Sara “thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” A smile appears on Sara’s face.

Sara continues to do her shopping and wonders why that couple was acting the way they were. She knew that there were small-minded people in the world, but no one has ever acted like that. She also knew the current pollical environment in Washington D.C. was toxic, because of the current president and members of his party that do nothing but act as yes men for him. Maybe, Mr. Bounty should send some of his hard-hitting agents to give them talking too. Maybe that would change their tune.

Sara does her shopping and heads back home. When she enters the apartment, she spots Billy sitting on the sofa eating a sub from their favorite sub shop.

“Your father let you go early today?” Sara carries her purchases to the kitchen.

“Yes, I bought you a sub as well. I got your favorite.” Billy knew all of Sara’s favorites.

“Thanks, sweetie.” Sara spots her sub in the refrigerator.

She continues to put away all the groceries she bought. When she is done, she grabs her sub and put it on a paper plate and head into the living room to sit with her wife. She notices that Billy had changed out of her work clothes and into something more comfortable.

“So, anything bad happened today?” Sara takes a bite from her sub.

“Nope, I finished what I had to do, and my father said I could leave. He knew how I felt about everything I found.” Billy felt the person who had all those pictures and videos she found. Should have his penis cut off and raped by some big gorillas in prison.

“Are you feeling alright?” Sara was concerned about Billy.

“I’m alright today. All I had to do, was transfer everything I found to a disc. That way, the prosecutor can show it during the hearing.”

“Yikes! I would hate to be on the jury during that trial.” Sara knew if she saw what Billy described to her. She would want the person thrown in jail.

“Enough about my day. How was your day so far?” Billy looks at Sara.

“Oh, it was kind of weird. I ran into a middle-aged couple, harassing an Asian couple.”

“Oh? Why?” Billy was curious.

“Beats me. The guy from the couple started poking me. So, I had him do the 20,000-volt boogie.”

“You said there was a couple. What did his girlfriend do?”

“She grabbed him after I warned her not to. You know how my little wrist shooters work.”

“Yeah, it sends a low-level electrical charge into the person. I learned not to touch anyone when you are shocking them.” Billy learned never to touch someone when Sara was shocking them.

The electrical charge traveling down the wire connected to the needle. Sends a low-level charge to the victim’s skin. So, if you touch the person, while they are being shocked, you’ll be shocked as well.

“I wonder why the couple would do something so stupid?” Billy knew things like what Sara describes have been happening lately.

“I think it has something to do with the morons in Washington D.C. I think Mr. Bounty should send some of his hard-hitting agents to have a
talking with the people supporting the president. Maybe they could make them see the light.”

“That, I would love to see. I know we have some agents that would be perfect to explain things to them.” Billy has met some of the other agents working for Mr. Bounty.

“I have an idea, sweetie. Why don’t I order us a nice pizza and we just snuggle up and watch a movie tonight?” Sara watches Billy.

“That sounds like a good idea.” Billy didn’t feel like going out tonight.

Later in the evening, Sara orders their favorite pizza. She gets comfortable and the two of them cuddle up on the sofa watching movies. While they are watching a movie, she wonders what their next assignment will be.
