“Jerry, could I have another sweet ice tea please?” Cassandra looks over towards the bar.

Jerry turns towards Cassandra when he hears her voice “sure thing Cassie. How long are you going to be here tonight?”

“How late is it? Because I have a feeling that I’ll be getting a visitor tonight.” Cassandra hated the fact she was born with a special gift.

“It’s around three right now. Do you want your usual for dinner?” Jerry didn’t mind Cassie staying. He had a soft spot for the poor girl. He had learned about her past and the fact she didn’t have any family.

“Actually, I was going to try Steve’s Irish Fried Cabbage & Sausage tonight. I’ve heard good things about it.” Cassandra loved the new cook
Jerry had hired for the pub. The Irish foods Steve added to the menu were excellent. Jerry had checked with her first to see how the foods would go over with the normal patrons and would it increase his business as well.

Cassandra didn’t mind using her clairvoyance ability to predict how well the pub would do. That’s how she had found out that she would have a visitor later tonight. The visitor wasn’t her monthly period either. The surgery she had to become a girl didn’t include the monthly visitor every genetic girl goes through every month. If it wasn’t for her dumb ass father forcing her to use her abilities to bet on horse races and to cheat in a poker game. She wouldn’t have lost her eyesight to his bragging while he had been drunk.

Her father didn’t like the fact his son wanted to be a girl instead, of a boy. He couldn’t help it he looked a lot like his mother. He only knew a little about his mother because of what his father told him. Cassandra’s eyesight had been taken as an example. The people her father had won against tortured her to force her father to tell them how he did it. They had used a butane soldiering iron to burn her eyes out. They took her left eye first to prove they meant business. When her father continues to resist, they took her right eye.

The following week while they were being transported by the US Marshals to the courthouse by their SUV. An armor car came from a side street and T-boned them. The armor car killed her father and one of the marshals and seriously injured her and the other marshal. Which left her to survive on her own. She had to leave New York City, because the people who killed her father were out to capture her. They wanted to use her gift to increase their profits.

So, she got on a bus after having her SRS surgery and came down to Canton, Georgia.

She bought a little Ranch Bungalow with what money she had left from her father’s winning to live in. She had met Jerry on her first visit to his pub and he had taken a liking to her. Jerry always came by to check on her and her neighbors checked on her as well. Not that she had many. She spent most days at Jerry’s Pub listening to the patrons that came in or listening to music. She had nothing to keep her occupied during the day. Cassandra didn’t like being home by herself, unless she had things to do at home. Sometimes, she would take walks around downtown before heading to the pub.

Cassandra had to go to the lady’s room. She stands up and taps her cane in front of her as she walks across the floor heading towards the restrooms. She knew how many steps it took to get there. She knew how many people were near her and who was coming to the restroom door, before she grabs it and walks in. There were times she missed her sight and would trade her gift to have her sight back.

Once Cassandra is done doing her business. She heads back out and over towards her table. As she got near, she could tell someone had sat down at her table.

“Excuse me, could you please leave my table? I believe I was sitting here first.” Cassandra normally didn’t mind people sharing her table with her, but this person had a bad vibe to them.

Raul looks at the blind woman that had just spoken to him. He had seen her walking around town and here inside the pub as well. She wasn’t bad looking. She dressed kind of plain and conservative. She had fair skin and long straight golden brunette hair. She stood about 5ft. tall and had an hour glass figure. Her breast was a nice melon shape. She had pink wraparound sunglasses that covered her eyes. The lens were dark enough, that you couldn’t see her eyes.

“I don’t see your name on it darling. If you want, you can sit on my lap if you are dead set on sitting here.” An evil smile appears on his face.

“No thank you. However, if you don’t move in the next five minutes. Jerry is going to come from behind the bar and toss you out on your ass.” Cassandra had peeked and saw a glimpse of what was going to happen to this guy if he didn’t move soon.

The other choice was Officer Paul Wolf arresting him. Paul was a good cop and always checked on her.

“Really, darling? You think…” Raul never got a chance to finish his statement as he felt someone grab him from behind and carry him to the door of the pub and toss him outside on the sidewalk.

Jerry had seen and heard Cassandra ask Raul to leave her table politely and waited to see what Raul was going to do. When he heard Cassandra inform Raul that he would come over and toss Raul out of the pub. He knew she had seen it with her gift.

“Next time, you should just leave Cassandra along. Everyone that visits this pub knows that is her private table.” Jerry turns around and heads back inside to check on Cassandra.

“Thank you, Jerry.” Cassandra was picking her chair up off the floor.

“No problem, Cassandra. Next time someone gives you a hard time. Come and tell me right away, okay?” Jerry didn’t want anything bad to happen to Cassandra. He never thought to ask her if she was the one for him, but he had a feeling that she might be the one.

“I will Jerry. Thank you.” Cassandra smiles at him as she sits down in her chair and reaches for her ice tea.

Cassandra enjoyed the sweet ice tea Jerry sent over to her after finishing her third one. Someone had selected a few different tunes ranging from Enya to Clannad and a few other Irish tunes. Cassandra knew that later in the evening someone was going to come and ask her to do something she doesn’t want to do.

She has already seen how dangerous the rejection was going to be for her. However, Cassandra has seen the people that would be coming to her aide as well. She won’t have to face the challenge alone this time. The one thing she can’t figure out is the mysterious person that will be providing legal help to her. That person is related to one of the people that will be helping her with this problem. The first of the people that will be helping her with this problem is transgender like herself. Except, there is something flashy about them. When she sees this person, it’s like she is looking at a raging fire out of control.

Cassandra places her order at 6 o’clock and enjoys her dinner. The meal itself turned out extremely good. For desert, she has her usual. Which was vanilla ice cream with hot fudge poured over it. Just as Cassandra finishes her desert and the dirty dishes were removed from her table. She feels a tingling sensation. Cassandra glances up and watches the front door of the pub. She could feel the person she is waiting for will walk through any minute now. Even though she couldn’t see them, she would know who they were.

Three couples come walking in and then a gentleman dress in an expensive business suit walks in behind them. He stops and pulls a picture from his coat suit pocket and glances down at it and then raise his head up and start to scan the crowd in the busy pub. He spots the young lady he was looking for looking directly at him. She was sitting at a table all by herself not too far from the bar. Her wraparound pink sunglasses made her stand out.

He walks over towards her as he observes everything going on around her. He notices the bartender keeping a close eye on her. He also notices several other patrons at the bar keeping a protective eye on her as well. He figures he is going to have to be careful in here and how he approaches her. Too many people were watching her. He walks over towards Cassandra’s table.

A smile appears on Cassandra’ face as she felt the air in front of her disturbed.

“Good Evening Mr. Ludlum, please have a seat.” She motions to the chair directly across from hers.

“Thank you.” Mr. Ludlum sits down in the seat directly across from Cassandra. He looks at Cassandra as he sits down.

“It seems the information I was given about you was true. Do you always surprise people like that?” Adam Ludlum had read the report given to him about Cassandra Elizabeth Cross. He didn’t believe it at first, till he saw the video of her being tortured and then her father giving the information the torturer wanted to make them stop hurting her.

“Depends on the situation. If it is something of importance like this meeting is between me and you, then yes. If it isn’t, I don’t bother surprising them like I just did. I’ll make this meeting short for you, so you can tell your superiors my answer. It’s no. I won’t work for them. My gift isn’t for other people to use to hurt other or to topple governments. I don’t even use it to make myself rich. That’s not why I was given my gift. If they planned on continuing down this path they are on and they try to force me to do as they want. Then the outcome will not be to their liking.” Cassandra takes a sip of her ice tea.

Adam just sits quietly and listened to what Cassandra was saying. He didn’t like what he was hearing. Right now, he wanted to kill her.

“Why won’t they like the outcome?” Adam wanted to know this bit of information.

“Because, all they have worked for and what they are planning on doing is going to end very badly. How exactly, I’m not sure. However, it will end badly for them.” Cassandra just smiles at him. She had seen his death at the hands of a fiery bird

“And you’re sure about this? All because you are turning their offer down?” Adam couldn’t believe what he was hearing from her.

“Yes, but it’s not just because I am turning their offer down.There’s a blind woman with a sword and scale that feels their time has come.” Cassandra shivers as a deathly feeling over comes her. Something bad might happen and it felt that it might occur soon.

She also knew not to trust this guy. He was bad news and something else about him didn’t feel right. She saw that person that seemed to be a fire burning out of control looking for him.

Sasha was in the mood for some good old fashion Irish food. She had just gotten in town to setup for the magic show the city council of Canton had hired her to perform on Friday. Her equipment would be deliver tomorrow and setup by her crew. She had taken one of the families Learjet’s from California to Atlanta, Georgia and had rented a car to drive from the private airfield to Canton, Georgia.

Her aunt’s agents were getting conflicting reports of where Adam Ludlum was. She knew he was staying off the internet, because her aunt had a search engine running 27/7 for anything related to Adam Ludlum or his description. The last result she saw was he had been spotted in New York.

While Sasha had been flying, she had googled the town and found the listing for a pub that has good Irish food and atmosphere. So, she was heading there now. She couldn’t wait to see if the reviews she read equal the quality of the food or if it was a marketing gimmick.

She had managed to find parking close to the restaurant. As she was getting out of the car, she thought she saw someone she recognized going into the pub. As Sasha walked into the pub, she notices how popular it was from the crowd inside. She glances at her watch and figure this must be the dinner crowd in here. There was Irish music playing and the place had a nice old world Irish pub feel going for it.

As She looks around the place, she spots the person she has been looking for. She notices he was talking to a young woman with long straight golden brunette hair and wearing a pair of pink wraparound sunglasses. She also notices the custom cane near her. She recognized the cane as the ones used by people who are blind. Sasha slips one of her flame balls in her hand and one of her throwing knives in her other hand. She would pull her gun out, but that would take too long.

She walks over towards the table ready to kill Adam Ludlum. After the crap, he pulled back in California, she should had roasted his testicle and penis, instead of his leg like she did.

“Excuse me for bothering you, but it seems we met again Mr. Adam Ludlum.” Sasha had a killing look on her face.

Cassandra looks up at the woman standing next to her table “it’s alright Ms. Wolfhart. I believe that Mr. Ludlum and I have finish our business.
Isn’t that right Mr. Ludlum?”

Cassandra glances back towards Adams.

Adam just smiles at Cassandra “I guess you are right Ms. Cross. If you change your mind. Here is my card.”

He hands his business card to her and gets up.

“Ms. Wolfhart, it’s good to see you again. I hope this time we can be more civilized towards each other.” Adam didn’t like Sasha because she caused him to lose out on a contract for a client of his looking for a new sex toy. She had interfered with him trying to acquire the girl he wanted for the client and adopted the girl as her own daughter. He had tried to fight the adoption, but Sasha’s family had money and influence. The girl had been made a member of her bloody band as well.

“As long as you come along peacefully and turn your sorry ass over to the police. We’ll get along just fine.” Sasha just directs her attention to him as a knowing smile appears on her face. She was ready to kill him right here and right now.

Sasha had tracked down who wanted to buy Rose and planted a hypnotic suggestion in his mind. Every time he thought about sex or looked at porn of any kind, he would stab his groin with a pencil or something sharp. She had to reinforce the suggestion a few times, but the man deserved what she did to him. It was better then what her brother or father would do to him. He wouldn’t be able to walk after they got done with him. Her mother and aunt would had given him a sex change and drop his butt in the worse neighborhoods to be raped repeatedly.
Cassandra sat quietly and listen to the exchange between Ms. Wolfhart and Mr. Ludlum. She knew that Ms. Wolfhart is one of the people meant to help her with her fight against Mr. Ludlum and the people he was currently employed by. She also felt that the two had a history together.

“I don’t think so Ms. Wolfhart. You see, you don’t have any evidence to hold me and if you try. Well, let’s just say you’ll be responsible for the death of all these people. The second reason is, if you don’t let me leave here. I’ll give my agents the go ahead to kill your daughters and your band members. Your parents and Aunt are already under investigation by the FBI and NSA.

Sasha notices he had his hand on a triggering device.

“Oh, one more thing. I don’t want to see your hand leave your side till I leave the restaurant either. I know what you are capable of.”

Adam just gives Sasha an evil smile as walks towards the door.

Cassandra couldn’t believe what she had just heard from Mr. Ludlum.

Sasha just watches as Adam walks off. She had the throwing knife ready to throw, along with the fireball as well. She watches as he leaves the restaurant. She walks up to the door and notice him climb into an SUV and drive off.

Sasha walks back over to the table where the woman is sitting

“I’m sorry for disturbing your conversion, but that is one man you don’t want to have anything to do with. Well, I better go and find a table for myself.” As Sasha turns to leave.

“Ms. Wolfhart, please join me. I wouldn’t mind your company.” Cassandra had a friendly smile on her face as she looks directly towards Sasha.

“Are you sure? I don’t want to intrude.” Sasha had her hand on the chair that Mr. Ludlum had just vacated.

“I’m sure, please sit.” Cassandra motions with her hand towards the chair.

“Thank you.” She sits down and slips the items in her hand back in her pockets. She looked across the table at Cassandra.

Cassandra raises her hand and motions to Jerry.

Jerry notices Cassandras hand and sends one of the waitresses over to her table.

“What can I get you Cassandra?” Betty pulls her order pad out.

“I’ll have the usual Betty, but I do believe that Ms. Wolfhart would like the Irish Fried Cabbage & Sausage and some white wine as well.”
Cassandra just smiles and listens as Betty walks off.

“I hope you don’t mind me ordering for you Ms. Wolfhart. It’s just I had a glimpse of what you liked and knew you’ll like how Steve cooked his Irish Fried Cabbage & Sausage.”

“No, I don’t mind. However, do you always show off your gift like that to strangers?” Sasha knew there were people with psychic gifts in the world. Her mother had introduced her to a few she personally knew, but they liked to keep their gifts quiet and below the radar. Just like she likes to keep her own gift under wraps, unless she uses it as part of her band and magical act.

“Yes and no. I know you perform illusions and slight of hands tricks alone and with your band. So, showing off around you is something I have no fear of. You know about people like me. On the other hand, if I was walking around the town advertising what I could do, people would see it and would either believe it or not believe it and call it a trick. Just like what you and some of your other stage magicians do. Here in this bar people have come to expect me to do this type of thing. They think it’s a trick for me. The exception is Jerry, the owner/bartender and a few of the waitresses. So, I’m safe here.”

“Well, you’re lucky you’re one of the lucky ones. Some of the people I was introduce to by my mother are hiding from the government. The government wants to use their gifts for their own purpose.” Sasha felt sorry for those people.

“Oh, I know that the government wants me. My gift is stronger and more accurate then what others like me can do. It’s like I’m the Greek mythology person that I was named after, reborn in the modern world.” Cassandra takes a sip of her tea after Betty sets it down.

“It’s going to be a few minutes on your dinner ma’am.” Betty sets the glass of wine down in front of Sasha.

“That’s fine.” She watches as the waitress walks away.

“Has your gift always been so strong?” Sasha loved hearing about Cassandra gift. She’ll have to tell her mother when she calls her later tonight to check on her and call Siren and check on their daughters and warn her as well.

“No, it was after I lost both my eyes that my gift became stronger and more accurate. You know how your other senses increase to make-up for the one you lose?” Cassandra was looking directly at Sasha as she spoke.

“Yes” Sasha couldn’t see Cassandras eyes clearly, because of how tinted pink her glasses were.

“Well, my predictions started happening more often. They have become a lot clearer then they use to be. So, I had to learn how to adjust and trust my gift more. By the way, how is your adopted daughter doing after her surgery?” Cassandra takes a sip of her tea again.

“She’s recovering well and being spoiled by her grandparents. Since she and her sister Rose are my parents first grandchild. They’re getting all sorts of attention by my mother and father. My mother is helping my youngest daughter heal after being raped like she was.” Sasha remembers pulling the council member off her daughter and frying his penis and testicles.

“You know your oldest is going to be a big rock star after you and the others retire, don’t you?” Cassandra had caught a glimpse of Sasha’s oldest daughter on her own.

“I wouldn’t put it past her. She’s got an amazing voice and after I get done teaching her how to play all the musical instruments in the band.
She’ll be even better.” Sasha hadn’t thought she would ever be a mother, until Rose and Gracie came into her life.

“She’ll be more then that Sasha. She’ll be a person a lot of gay, lesbian and transgender people both male to female, and female to male can look up to.” Cassandra could see Rose using her frame and her family influence to help others and getting thing done.

“Thanks for the heads up.” Sasha takes another sip of her wine. After a few minutes, her dinner arrives.

“Aren’t you going to eat anything?” Sasha felt bad eating in front of Cassandra, even tho she knew she couldn’t see her.

Cassandra just giggles “No, I ate earlier. Besides I can only hear you eat. So, your fine eating in front of me.”

Sasha eats her dinner and has a desert afterwards. Cassandra excuses herself and goes to the lady’s room again. She’ll have to cut back on all the tea she is drinking.

Sasha spends most of the night at the pub with Cassandra and afterwards takes her home. She heads towards her hotel room the town was paying for.

Sasha calls to check-up on her daughters and tell Siren that there is a code yellow in play. To pass the word to all band members and their families. She called her parents next to let them know she arrived safely. She does ask about the matter Mr. Ludlum mention and was inform that the matter was well in hand and not to worry about it. She did warn them about the band members being targeted and her father said he would handle it.

After she was done with her phone calls, she walks over to the window of her hotel room and looked out. She spots a sniper across the way and ducks just in time as the bullet goes through the glass and strike the wall behind her. All her gear was over near the bed. Several more bullets fill the room.

She crushes two of her golf balls that produce flames and use them to generate a wall of flame in front of the window so she could grab her new gun her aunt gave her.

She drops the wall and fires an explosive gyro jet round across the street where the sniper had been. She looks and tries to see if he was still across the road, but she doesn’t see him anywhere. She calls down to the front desk and ask about getting a different room, because
someone had been shooting at her room.

The front desk send the police and Sasha talks with them about being shot at. She made sure to hide her new gun.

Sasha was tired when she got her wake-up call around seven in the morning. Her crew was due in today and she needed to meet with them. She needed to get set-up and check everything for the performance on Friday. Now the complication of Adam Ludlum adding to her agenda. She was still pissed that he had threaten her family. Her mom, aunt and dad she wasn’t worried to much about. They could handle anything thrown their way.

It was her bandmates and the children she was worried about. She wasn’t there to protect them from harm. Siren wasn’t a fighter and she didn’t want their children to be hurt. Mystic she knew could take care of himself. He had as many tricks up his sleeve as she did. Jack and Dusk were the two she was worried the most about. Jack knew how to handle a gun from her training, but Dusk had never held one before.
She was a mother now since she adopted the little boy they saved from the sex traffickers.

Hopefully, her parents or Siren’s parents sent some bodyguards to protect her wife and children. She goes through a few katas to center her mind and body. Her mother, father and certain family members had trained her in ten different martial arts forms since she was adopted. Most of her family were people you didn’t want to get in a hand-to-hand fight with. Her mother combines her illusion and escape artist abilities with her Togakure-ryū training.

Her mother taught her the Togakure-ryū form along with Tai Chi and several other martial arts. That she learned from the Takamatsu family.
They took her and her sister in when their parents were killed during a plane crash on Honshu Island.

Sasha finishes her katas and takes a shower. As she stands there under the shower. She makes vow that Mr. Ludlum is going to be taken care of this time around. Right now, he had her at a disadvantage, but she wasn’t going to let him win the war. After she finishes her shower and get dress. She heads down to her rental car after grabbing a muffin from the continental breakfast the hotel had set-up for their guest and head towards the concert hall she will be performing at.

Cassandra’s House:
Cassandra takes a sip of her coffee and tries to wake-up. She didn’t sleep to well last night. Her gift kept giving her flashes of events that were going to happen between her, Mr. Ludlum and Wildfire. She did know for certain that Mr. Ludlum was going to meet a nasty end by being burnt alive by a huge flaming Phoenix.

She knew Jerry would be by in an hour or so to take her to the restaurant. She smiles at the thought of Jerry and her getting married. She had seen it happened, but not when he would purpose to her. She goes about getting ready to leave with Jerry. She knew Sasha would be by this afternoon to talk with her. The one person she was worried about was Mr. Ludlum. She knew he was going to strike soon, but not when.
She also knew he had a major hardon/hatred for Sasha. That was one thing she knew for sure and before he did anything against her, he was going to make Sasha’s life difficult. She’s going to have to ask Jerry if there had been any news about Sasha and Mr. Ludlum. She finishes getting dress just in time as she hears Jerry knocking on her door.

“Coming!”

As Cassandra is walking towards her front door. She starts to get an uneasy feeling. She has felt this feeling before when there was danger or when danger was approaching. She stops before she reaches the door and steps from being directly in front of the door to the side instead. No sooner does she step to the side that bullets start coming through the door. She falls to the floor as more bullets comes through her front windows. She crawls over to the wall for safety.

She starts to hear sirens coming towards her direction as the gun fire stops. The next thing she hears is the squealing of tires as a car speeds away from in front of her house. She hears another car pull up in front of her house and the slamming of a car door. She hears someone running up to her house.

“CASSANDRA!”

She hears the front door being smashed in as she recognizes the voice of that belonging to Jerry.

“Over here Jerry!” She turns her head towards the front door.

Jerry spots Cassandra laying on the floor against her front wall. She was lying between the front door and the front window that had been shot out. He knew the bricks on the front of the house would had protected her. He notices she was looking towards the front door where she heard his voice.

He rushes over and picks her up off the floor and check her over to make sure she hadn’t been hurt. She holds onto him as tears slide down into her nasal cavity and down her cheek. She may not have her eyes any more, but she can still produce tears. They slide out from her eye sockets. She holds onto him crying against his shoulder.

The police show up and Cassandra tells them what she can. Some of the police officers know her and knew what she could do. She has helped them on a few cases. The police officers ask her neighbor what they saw or heard and get a description of the car and a license plate number. They find out that there were four people shooting up her house and all four wore ski mask concealing their faces.

Since Jerry needed to leave to open the restaurant, he asks if one of the female police officers could watch over Cassandra. He didn’t want to leave her, but he had to open the restaurant this morning. Officer Prince said she would keep an eye on her and when they were done she would bring Cassandra down to the restaurant.

He gives Cassandra a kiss before leaving.

Cassandra touches her lips, because that was the first time anyone had ever kissed her before on the lips. It made her feel so warm and fuzzy. She spends the morning with the police and the forensics team. She makes a few calls to her insurance agent to see if gunfire was covered under her insurance policy. After she gets off the phone with her insurance agent, she calls Jerry to let him know she will be at the restaurant in half-n-hour.

She calls a handy man she knows to come out and board up her window and install a new front door. Her neighbor said they would keep an eye on her place as she left with Officer Prince. Jerry meets her at the front door and escorts her over to her favorite table. He already knew her routine, but thought something different was needed. He had fixed her an actual Irish cream coffee and Irish Coffee Cake Scones. He wanted to do something special for her this morning.

“Thank you, Jerry.”

She places a kiss on his cheek, leaving behind some of her lipstick.

“You’re welcome, Cassandra.”

He returns the kiss, but on her lips.

She wanted to melt right there on the chair.

Jerry smiles as he looks at her face. He could tell she enjoyed being kissed.

“Enjoy your breakfast sweetie.”

“I think I have already enjoyed my breakfast.” As a loving smile appears on her face.

Jerry just smiles as he walks off to help a customer.

Cassandra picks takes a bite out of her scone and enjoyed it. She reaches for her coffee and takes a sip of it. The alcohol in it wasn’t to over powering. She enjoys her breakfast and the music someone put on. Between the music and the nice breakfast Jerry made her. It was having a calming effect on her.

She had never experienced anything like she did this morning. Not even when her eyes were taken from her or when they killed her father on the way to the courthouse. It was only the warning she had received from her gift that had saved her life. She had an idea on who was behind the attack, but to prove it. She reaches into her purse and feels around for a card Sasha had given her last night. She finds it and pulls her cell phone out and calls the number on the card.

“Hello?”

“Hi Sasha, I was wondering if we could get together earlier then we planned too. It seems that Mr. Ludlum has other plans for me now.”

“What happened Cassandra?”

“I don’t have any proof that he authorized this action, but I had a visit by some men with guns this morning.”

“Did someone try to kill you this morning?”

“Someone’s actually. There was more than two people at my home this morning.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Just a little shaken-up is all. It’s not the first time someone has tried to kill me.”

“I didn’t think he would be this stupid or move this fast. When and where do you want to meet?”

“Let’s meet at one instead of this evening and here at the restaurant. I think Jerry will be concern if I’m not here.”

Sasha looks at her watch and notice it was quarter till ten right now. Her crew should be here in the next fifteen or twenty minutes. They were dependable and it was going to take her a few hours to set the equipment up.

“I think I can be there at one, but I’ll have to come back here afterwards to finish setting up.”

“You won’t have to stay all night setting up Sasha. If nothing else you should be done by eight o’clock after we meet.”

“Your gift telling you this?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, I’ll see you at one Cassandra. Stay safe and be careful today.”

“Oh, trust me. I plan on staying right here at the restaurant today.”

“Okay, well good-bye Cassandra.”

“Bye Sasha.” Cassandra hangs up afterwards.

She puts her cell on the table and finish her breakfast.

One of the waitresses come by to take her plate.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Cassandra. Let me know if you need anything.”

“I will Cathy.” Cassandra recognized the voice and remember her name.

She pulls a book out of her purse and start reading it. It was in braille, so she had no problem reading it with her fingers.

Sasha looks at her watch again and notice it was almost twelve o’clock. She was wondering where her crew was with her equipment. She pulls her cell phone out and dials her chief roadie Eddy to find out where they were. She gets his answering service, instead of him.

She dials her Aunt Joyce’s number.

“Hello?”

“Hi Aunt Joyce. I have a favor to ask of you.”

“What is the favor Sasha?”

“Can you use your satellites to locate my truck please?”

“Why do you need me to locate your truck? Why don’t you try dialing your driver and asking where it is?”

“ I have and it’s two hours past due. I have to get set-up for a performance by Friday.”

“Does your equipment have any trackers on it?”

“Yes, ma’am. I’m using the spares you gave mom and some of my equipment use to belong to mom.”

“Alright Sasha, hang on.”

Sasha looks around the loading dock and wonders where her equipment and employee’s were. After fifteen minutes, her Aunt comes back on-line.

“Sasha, you might want to contact your employee’s families. I’m looking at a satellite image of your truck spread all over Canton Hwy. There’s fire trucks and State Troopers investigating the wreckage.”

“Dam! I’m going to kill him.”

“Sasha? Keep a level head sweetheart. Remember your training and don’t let this get personal.”

“I’ll try Aunt Joyce. Can you send your men to my other storage place and send me my back-up gear please?”

“Yes, I can do that for you. Send me the items you need from storage and I’ll fly it out to where you are setting up under guard.”

“Thanks Aunt Joyce.”

“Any time kiddo, now go and make some magic.”

Sasha just smiles as she informs the stadium manager that there will be a delay setting up due to truck problems. Afterwards, Sasha heads
towards her rental car and checks to make sure no one did anything to it while she was inside waiting on her truck. She heads towards the wreckage where her equipment was spread all over the highway along with her employee’s. She gets with the State Trooper who was first on the scene and introduces herself to him. She makes arrangement with the rental agency her car is with to send a cargo truck. She also ask them to send a few men to come and get what was left of her equipment and load it on the truck.

Sasha dials Cassandra’s number.

Cassandra was enjoying a nice ice tea when she hears her cell phone ring. She picks it up and answers it.

“Hello, Sasha.”

“Hello, Cassandra. You probably already know why I’m calling.”

“Actually Sasha, I don’t. Has something happen?”

“Yep, it seems Mr. Ludlum has decided that destroying my equipment and killing my employees might make me back off. All it has done is caused me to want to find and kill him.”

“I take it that you are going to be awhile where you are?”

“Unfortunately, yes. I have to identify the remains of my employees and give them their names and where they live and have whatever equipment isn’t damage taken to the stadium where I am performing and meet my aunt’s people who are flying in with my replacement gear.”

“How did you know your people were dead?”

Cassandra was wondering why she hadn’t seen it herself.

“I called my aunt and she used her satellites to locate the trackers I have on all my equipment.”

“Good grief. Is your aunt a secret agent or something?”

“Nope, she’s into research and development.”

“Okay, and she has access to satellites?”

“Only her own. She uses them for space observation, communications and studying the Earth.”

“Your aunt sounds like an interesting woman. I’m going to stay here at the bar. I’ll be safer here than any where else.”

“Alright, I’ll contact you when I am done. Just keep alert and make sure you stay there. He might try to kidnap you.”

“Good luck trying that. Jerry will blow his head off if he tries anything inside the bar.”

“Alright, I’ll see you in a little while.”

“Bye.”

Sasha hangs up her cell phone and wait while the truck she ordered arrives. She moves her stuff that wasn’t damage to a pile by itself and she moves the items that have been destroyed or need repair to another pile. All her props and cases that were intact. She stacks them together. By the time she is done and the truck arrives, she has six piles of items. She helps the men that were sent to load up the truck with her items and she gives them the address where they need to go. She follows behind them to make sure they get to the stadium.

Sasha helps them unload the truck and gives them a cash bonus for everything they did to help her. She contacts the rental company and tell them she’ll have their truck back in two days. She’ll pay the extra rental time.

By seven o’clock a cargo helicopter lands and several men and women dress in black fatigues help unload her replacement gear and take her damage gear and equipment back to her storage unit to be fixed or destroyed.

“Ms Wolfhart, do you need for me to leave any of my people to protect your property?”

“No, but thank you for asking Freddy. I should be okay. I’m going to have a few surprises for anyone who decides to touch my equipment.”

“Okay, but Sara, Betty, Roger and I are going to stay the night any way and help you setup for your performance on Friday.”

“Thanks. You guys can have the rooms I reserved for my roadies at the same hotel I’m staying at.”

“Thanks.”

“No problem. I know you guys are going to stay here and watch my equipment. Let me go and get you some dinner. I know a good Irish restaurant not to far away from here.”

“Thanks Sasha.”

“No problem guys.”

Sasha drives over to the restaurant and parks. She places two mini-cams on her rental so she can watch her camera or record anyone coming near it. As she walks into the restaurant. She spots two guys moving towards Cassandra. There was a short black hair woman sitting next to Cassandra as well.

Cassandra had just gotten back from the restroom, when a woman sat down next to her and poked her in the side with a gun.

“Some guys are going to come over here to escort us out. I suggest you do as I say or I might be forced to pull the trigger.”

“I doubt you want to do that. Your boss wants me unharmed.”

The woman holding the gun pokes Cassandra harder.

Sasha moves quickly and strikes the men behind their neck with a nerve strike to each man. The men drop to the floor from where she hit them. She looks towards Cassandra and tosses one of her specialty pellets towards the lady sitting next to her. They explode with a bright flash of light, temporarily blinding the other woman. She follows up with a hard hit to the side of the woman’s head knocking her out.

The crowd was looking at Sasha trying to figure out why she just attacked three people. Jerry comes from behind the bar with a baseball bat in his hand.

“It’s okay everyone. She was protecting me.”

Cassandra stands up and moves away from the woman so Jerry could see the gun on the floor.

Jerry walks over and picks the gun up off the floor.

“Why are they after....”

Jerry stops after a few seconds.

“Never mind, dumb question.”

“Yay, I would say it is. Call the cops Jerry and make up four lunch boxes for me please. I have four people back at the stadium waiting on me.”

“Sure, I’ll make something special for them.”

Jerry goes back behind the bar while Sasha and a few men help her secure the two men and the lady with zip cuffs.

Sasha walks over to the bar.

“Jerry, could Cassandra stay with you tonight please? I think it might be better if she has someone around her that she trust to protect her.”

“Sure, she can stay with me. She might want to get some clean clothes to wear tomorrow. I know how she is about wearing the same clothes twice.”

“Take her by her house tomorrow morning. I wouldn’t go there tonight.”

“Okay. Here are your lunch boxes and four tall cups of ice tea and a few side items for your people. I hope they like it.”

“Me too.”

Sasha takes the box that had been filled with the meal for her people and walk over to Cassandra.

“You’re going home with Jerry tonight. I’m going to be busy setting my equipment and props up. So, I can’t protect you tonight, but he can. Also, Ludlum would never think about looking for you at his place. “

Cassandra points her finger at Sasha. She just took a glimpse of what might happen between her and Jerry tonight.

Sasha just smiles “you’re welcome. See you tomorrow for breakfast.”

Sasha walks out to her car and checks the footage from her mini-cams to see if anyone has touched her vehicle. Once she was satisfied with the footage. She gets in the car and heads back towards the stadium with the food.

“I got food for you guys.”

“Thanks Sasha.”

Sara comes over and starts handing the lunch boxes and other items out to her teammates.

“I hope you guys and gals like the food.”

Roger takes a bite of his food.

“Oh man, I could live on this for several weeks.”

Sasha looks at the others to see if they were enjoying their food as well. She notice they had the same expression as Roger did. Sasha starts setting up her equipment and props while they ate. She knew how she wanted things to be. She places each item where she wants them to be.

Sasha spends most of the night setting up her equipment. Sara and Roger give her a hand after they finish eating. Sasha told them to eat first. She would be okay setting her stuff up. While the others guard the place.

She takes a few items out of one case and heads tot eh dressing room she’ll be using and change out fo her street clothes and into her black body suit, boots and gloves. She puts her specialty belt on and her guns in each holsters. She was going hunting tonight and she was going to start with the jail to torture the three people that got arrested tonight. She grabs her badge and heads down to the local police station where the three people had been taken.

She got some looks walking in like she was dressed, but when she flashed her badge. They stepped aside and let her through.

“I want the prisoners brought to the interrogation room and the recorders turned off.”

“That’s not proper procedures ma’am.”

“Do you see this badge? These people are wanted for having ties to Al-Qaeda. Which means they fall under the Patriot act. Now, turn the recorders off.”

Sasha walks into the interrogation room and stands before the three people.

She touches something on her belt and any recording devices that were recording were being scramble.

All three people look at Sasha and smirk.

“Look fellows were going to have an S&M party.”

The woman that Sasha had knocked out at the restaurant was smirking at her.

Sasha just smiles and slap all of them on the back of their necks and walks around to face them.

“You think threatening a blind woman and killing five of my employees is so much fun. Well, I think you need to realize that for every action, there’s an equal or opposite reaction.”

“Oh, look guys. We’re going to get a physics lesson now.”

The guy that had said it was looking at Sasha with a smug look on his face.

“You know you can’t torture us, don’t you? Not that it would matter any way.”

“You’re probably right about that. After all what could I do to combat trained vets like yourself?”

“Oh, Wait. There’s someone I want you to meet.”

Sasha actives the hidden flame jets in her suit as flames surround her body and her face. Sasha figures by now the patches she had slapped on the back of their necks that were coated with a special drug that causes hallucinations and an active truth drug would had kicked in. It also caused a mild burning sensation that traveled throughout the body.

The woman that had been looking at Sasha watched as she burst into flames and as the drug effected her, it caused her to see Sasha’s face melt off leaving behind a demon face. She starts screaming. The two guys were feeling the same effect as they watched as Sasha’s body was replaced by a fiery demon. Sasha got close to them so that they feel the heat coming from the flames surrounding her. The officers watching couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

“Where is Ludlum?”

“We don’t know. He gave us our orders by text.”

Sasha slams her hands down on the table and use a little bit of her ability to cause the flames to stretch forward towards one of the guys face.

“Where is Ludlum?”

The guy that had the flame hovering in front of him was seeing a snake made of flames ready to strike him.

“We honestly don’t know. All we were told was to kill your men and kidnap the blind woman and take her to the safe house and wait for further orders. We could do whatever we wanted to, to her, Except kill her or damage her to much.”

“Give me the location of your safe house.”

They tell her where it is.

“Just so you know this is real and not an illusion.”

Sasha puts her finger close to their cheek and slightly burn their skin. She was controlling the intensity of the heat. She causes the flames to disappear and walk behind them and check the patches. They were about done from their body heat.

She walks out into the hallway where a group of police officers had gather to watch her interrogate those three people.

“How did you do that?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean how the hell did you get them to confess to you and tell you what you wanted to know.”

“You mean this?”

Her suit burst into flames around her.

The police officers all jump back away from her.

“Ya, I mean that.”

The officer was pointing at her.

She stops the flames and make them disappear.

“I’m a stage magician and this suit is specially design to do that trick. As for the rest, I can’t reveal that trick. A girl has to have some secrets.”

“I bet those flames were fake.”

A huge old grizzly detective came walking up to Sasha.

“You willing to put money on it?”

“Yay, I’ll put money on it. How much?”

“Fifty dollars.”

“Fifty it is than.”

Sasha causes the flames to reappear around her. She intensify them a little bit more with her gift.

“Give me your hand.”

The detective could feel the heat coming from her body. He slowly raises his hand and was about to give it to her, before he really felt the flames licking at him. Burning him some. He yanks back his hand.

“Those are real flames. Why isn’t your hair burning from them?”

“Because it is coated in a special gel that protects it.”

Sasha knew it was a bullshit excuse, but he didn’t need to know the truth that it was her gift stopping it. She causes the flames to go out. She was going to need to change the canisters in her suit if she wanted to light up again. She saw it in the color of the flames.

“Take them back to their cells. The Marshals will be by tomorrow to transport them to their new home.”

She walks off and head towards the safe house to look around there for clues.

Cassandra snuggled closer to Jerry as they slept. He had his arms wrapped protectively around her as they slept close to each other. She was extremely sore between her legs, but it didn’t matter to her. She never knew how well the surgery to change her plumbing had been till tonight. She had experience her first orgasm and enjoyed every orgasm after that. She even performed oral sex on him and enjoyed it. Her jaw was as sore as the rest of her.

Jerry had been gifted with a long and thick penis. At first, she didn’t think she could take all of him inside her body, but the surgeons that had performed the surgery had done an amazing job on her. She took every inch inside her body and stretched to accommodate his wide girth.
He was gentle at first, but as she got use to his size. Her body started to move in sync with his body as they increased in pace and passion.
Cassandra could feel the hidden passion Jerry felt for her as they made love. Every position she has always wanted to try and do, they did for the next four hours.

She finally felt safe and loved in his arms. She knew by the end of the week, she was going to marry him.

“Yes, I will marry you Jerry.” She wiggles her ass against his penis as she finally let sleep claim her.

Jerry wasn’t sure what he heard in his haze of sleep, but whatever it was. It brought a smile to his face. He places a kiss on Cassandra’s cheek as he followed her into sleep.

Safe House:
Sasha searches the window for alarms, triggers and found one. A smile appears on her face. She was an escape artist and stage magician, like a simple alarm could stop her. She disables the alarm and climb inside the house. She does check the floor to make sure they hadn’t set a trap there, but didn’t find one. She spots several hidden video cameras meant to record the occupants. She actives the jammer she used at the police station and moves silently about the house looking for anything that might give her some idea where Ludlam was hiding. She wanted that asshole for murdering her people.

She stops and hears some keys being used at the door. She hides in the darkest spot she can find and observe as a figure wearing a dark color dress shirt and blue jeans come in. She sets her scanner to scan for a radio frequency to see if he was keeping in touch with someone.
He walks over towards one of the hidden cameras and pulls it from its hidden spot.

She gets lucky as her scanner picks up on frequency.

“How’s the signal now?”

“It’s still warped.”

“Let me make one more adjustment and if that doesn’t fix it, I’ll switch the camera out.”

“Alright, but make it quick. Ludlum wants an update on everything.”

“Roger.”

A mischievous smile appears on Sasha’s face as she turns the jammier off.

“That did it. It seems all the cameras are sending a clear signal now.”

“It must have been some interference from the wiring. I’m going to check the rest and come back out to the van.”

Sasha watches as the guy checks each camera and hidden mics around the house. When he walks by her location, she tosses some dust at him that lands on his body. She pulls her special glasses out and put them on. The dust only shows up through her glasses because of the special lenses in it. She stays completely still as the guy makes his rounds and then follows him out of the house without being seen. She trails him to a van and watches as he gets in.

She makes her way to the van and attach a listening device to the side of the van so she could hear what was going on inside. The next couple of hours she listens to male chauvinist talk between the two guys inside the van. They were hoping that the mercenaries Ludlum hired to kidnap the blind woman. Would give them a chance to have some pleasure with her as well. Sasha was getting pissed and it was getting to be sunrise.

“I don’t think they are showing up tonight. Let’s go ahead and head back till we know what is going on.”

“Sounds good. I’ll contact Ludlum and tell him.”

Sasha listens closely as she hears the guy use a cellphone to dial the number.

“It’s team 2, team 1 didn’t show up last night. We were going to head back to the warehouse.”

Sasha couldn’t hear what Ludlum said in response.

“Alright, we’ll try again this evening. Team 2 out.”

“He said to go ahead and wrap it up. He’ll check into what is going on with team 1.”

“Sounds good to me.”

Sasha puts a tracker on the van and makes her way back to her car and gets in. She’ll let them get some distance from her before following.
She sends a text to Cassandra that she won’t make their breakfast appointment.

Jerry’s House & Pub:
Jerry’s alarm clock goes off at five in the morning. He hits the snooze button. He didn’t want to wake Cassandra up just yet. He heard her cellphone chirp. He picks it up and notice there was a message from Sasha telling her that she won’t be able to make their meeting this morning. He’ll have to tell her when she wakes up. He pulls her sleeping form tighter against his body. He feels her grip his arm as she continues to sleep.

He remembers when she first walked into the pub. It was her unusual hair color that drew his attention and then the pink wraparound sunglasses she wore, even inside the pub. Then he noticed her cane and the strange clicking noise she made. It took him some time to find out things about her, but once he knew her past. He didn’t care. She was beautiful and what she had been born didn’t matter to him. It was the woman he was looking at now that mattered to him.

He caresses her cheek and slides out of bed. He needed to get down to the pub and get things going. As he gets the shower going and steps under the water. Cassandra walks tenderly in and joins him in the shower.

“I was going to let you sleep a little bit longer, before I woke you.”

“I know, but I wanted to join you in the shower.” She stands up on her tip toes and kiss him.

He returns the kiss and scrub her body. She returns the favor and scrubs his body. She takes her time with his penis, which she causes to stand at attention.

“You don’t play fair.” Jerry bends down and kisses Cassandra on the lips.

She just smiles and let him get even with her. They spend a little more time then Jerry planned, but in the end, it was worth it. He wasn’t going to work with a hard-on. He picks out an outfit for Cassandra to wear to the pub. She wears one of his t-shirts that has the pubs name on it with a pair of jeans and her black ankle boots.

They arrive at the pub a few minutes later then Jerry normally arrives. He fixes Cassandra some breakfast as she sits at the bar. He had told her about the message that Sasha had sent. Which didn’t surprise her. She hadn’t seen it, but expected it. She did know she needed to stay inside the pub today and not venture outside for any reason. It was a strong feeling she was getting.

Sasha:
Sasha discreetly follows the van that she had tagged. She covers up a yawn as she pops some caffeine pills into her mouth. Her mother and aunt would chew her ass out if they knew she was using caffeine pills. It wasn’t harmful, but she needed the boost to stay awake. They were heading towards the out skirts of town. The warehouse wasn’t to far from the interstate and was located on the outskirts of Canton. It looked like some sort of trucking firmed owned it. She takes a few pictures of it with her camera and sends her mini-drone out to get some aerial pictures of it. She watches as the van pulls into the warehouse through one of the huge doors and listens.

She hears the van shut off and then the men walking away from the van. She was going to have to come back later tonight to find out more. She brings her drone back to her car and heads towards her hotel to get a few hours of sleep in. She still needs to test her equipment and make sure everything was working right and go through her routine.

Once she pulls up to the hotel. She heads up to her room and set her cellphone to wake her up by one o’clock. She gets out of her jumpsuit and slips on her oversized nightshirt that had a full picture of a fiery Phoenix taking flight.

“I’ll get you Mr. Ludlum and make you pay.” Sasha finally falls asleep.

“So, how did your practice go this afternoon?” Cassandra was staying at the Pub all day long and staying inside, where it was safe. She kept getting an uneasy feeling every time she got close to the front door.

“It went fine. I had to change my routine up some. The trick I was going to perform, didn’t workout that well. So, I had to come up with a different one that would flow better with the time restraints.”

“I think you choose the right one for the performance. You also need to be careful tonight while your searching the warehouse. What I am seeing isn’t set, but it’s possible you might have a visitor.”

“Will it be Mr. Ludlum?”

“No, it will be an associate of his that you can use to find out where he is hiding. Mr. Ludlum is keeping his distance from the two of us. You, because he is scared of you and he knows you want to kill him. Me, because he knows I can find him. The problem is, he keeps moving. It makes it hard to determine where he is or where he is going.”

“Is he staying in this area?”

“Yes and no. I can see him nearby right now, but there’s nothing I can go off of that tells me where he is.” Cassandra was examining the image she was getting right now to see if there is anything she could use to identify where he was.

“Try this.” Sasha faces Cassandra North inside the Pub.

“Now, I am going to slowly turn you till you feel how strong the your feeling is.”

Sasha slowly turns Cassandra clockwise. She keeps it up until Cassandra tells her to stop. Sasha was observing in what direction she was
facing. She notices Cassandra was facing South West.

“Okay, lets try this again.”Sasha returns Cassandra to North again and then turns her again.

“Stop.” Cassandra stops after a few minutes.

This time she was facing West.

Sasha repeats the same technique several times and comes up with different results.

“Just as I thought. He’s moving around in some sort of vehicle. That's why you can’t get a solid id on where he is.”

“So, how are you going to get him?”

“By springing his trap for me. Is that person going to be there tonight?”

Cassandra concentrates a little harder to see if he will be there. After a few minutes “Yes, he is going to be there.”

“Good. Is he there right now?”

“Yes and waiting for you. They found your listening bug.”

An evil smile appears on Sasha’s face “then I better not keep them waiting for me.”

“Sasha, be careful. The guy they brought in to handle you is from China. He’s a trained killer from the Hirata clan.”

“Hirata clan, you say?”

“Yes.”

“They must be desperate using someone from that clan.”

“You know that clan?” Cassandra was curious about what Sasha knew.

“Only what my mother told me. She has had a few encounters with a few of their clan members in her past.”

“Interesting. It sounds like you come from an interesting family.”

“I do. I was lucky they adopted me and raised me like they did.”

“Well, at least you can pass on what your family gave you to your daughters.”

“True. Are you going to be okay?”

“As long as I stay inside the pub, I’ll be fine. Ludlum won’t start anything. To many witnesses around me and he won’t send any one in,
because he knows I will recognize them.”

“Well, just in case he decides to prove you wrong. Here are two smoke bombs and some really strong itching bombs for you. Throw the smoke
first and then toss the itching bombs. The itching bombs are really strong and any exposed skin it settles on, will drive the target crazy.”

“Thanks, but how can I tell them apart?”

“The shape of the bombs themselves. The smoke are perfectly round like a golf ball and the itching are more oval shape like an egg.” Sasha places the bombs into Cassandra’s hand.

Cassandra fingers them and could feel the difference between the two.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Well, let me get going.” Sasha stands up and gives Cassandra a hug.

“You’ll make it Sasha. Just be careful and use what your mother taught you against him. He’s no match for you.”

“Thanks.”

Sasha heads out to her rental car and drives towards a gas station not to far away from the pub and changes into her outfit. She pulls out an
extremely old bamboo staff.

“Hello, old friend.”

Sasha twist and pull the top off the staff and pulls forth a highly polished steel blade. She doesn’t pull it all the way out, but enough to check it.

“We have a challenge before us my old friend.” Sasha slides the blade back down into the bamboo housing and twist the top again to lock it.

Twenty minutes later, Sasha pulls into the warehouse parking lot and parks. She moves quickly and silently towards the building and makes her way inside the warehouse section, where she spots the van from last night. She moves quietly as she heads into the building itself and just as she is turning a corner. She comes face to face with an Asian person.

“Well, hello.”

Sasha jumps back in time as a flash of steel misses her face. Another sword swing misses her by inches as she moves backward. She brings her staff up in time to block another sword strike. She parries and block several strikes to her with her staff. The guy she is fighting moves with speed and a style her mother never taught her, but she figures that the style she does know will get her through. Sasha gets her sword loose and start fighting back. She parries and dodges strikes from him several times as she tries to strike him. Sasha could tell he was an experience swordsman.

Sasha starts pulling tricks out of her bag and tosses flash pellets to distract him. Her sword cuts right across his chest. She manages to strike his left shoulder and paralyzes it with one nerve strike.

He manages to slice her right leg, but thanks to the weave of her suit. The strike doesn’t slice through the suit.

“Nice try, but no cigar.” Sasha blocks another strike to her body.

She spins and connects with her foot to his abdomen. Her sword connects with his swords arm slicing right through it. She hears movement right behind her and moves just in time as bullets strike the guy she had been fighting. She palms several explosive golf ball size balls into her hand and tosses them towards the shooters.

An explosion occurs right in front of the guys. They get sent backwards off their feet and onto their backs with their ears ringing from the explosion. When they looked up they see Sasha standing there with her sword pointed at one guys throat and her gun pointed at the other guys throat.

“Drop’em asshole!”

Sasha was pissed and ready to kill these assholes, but she needed answers and she couldn’t get them if they were dead.

The guys dropped their weapons.

“Roll onto your stomach and cross your feet, NOW!” Sasha steps back some to allow them to do what she ordered.

Both guys roll onto their stomach and cross their feet.

Sasha puts her gun away and points her sword behind the head of one of the guys.

“Cross your hands behind your back, NOW!”

Both guys do as they are told. Sasha kneels and pulls a zip strip from behind her back and zip lock their hands. She puts her sword away and moves both guys to an empty office. She checks the Asian guy Ludlum had hired to fight her, but he was dead from wounds caused by the bullets. She heads back into the office and looks at the two guys.

“You guys are going to tell me everything you know or the authorities are going to find extra crispy bodies.” She makes flames appear in her hands as she moves them closer to their faces so that they could feel the heat from her hands.

“Don’t think I won’t burn you assholes. You have managed to piss me off.” She touches one finger to one guys cheek, leaving behind a burn mark on his skin.

Sasha had dragged her two captives to the garage area and strung them up with some rope she had found in the warehouse. She strips them bare so they were hanging in the garage area buck naked. Sasha looks at them and strikes them in certain areas of their body to deaden the nerve clusters in those areas.

“Now gentlemen, very few people have ever managed to piss me off, but I have to say you and your boss have managed to do that. What I have done is deaden the nerves in the areas I struck. I could kill you with two more strikes in different locations, but I don’t want to kill you. I want you to suffer first for what you did to my employees. I know it won’t bring them back and it might not be what they want, but it will make me feel a whole lot better.” Sasha looks at them so they could see the anger on her face.

“Now, I normally don’t like torturing people. I find it barbaric and cruel to a person. However, in this case I am going to make an exception. I want you to feel what it is like to have your body burned while you are alive, but I am not going to use flames to do this. I am going to use this.”
Sasha pulls out a clear syringe with a liquid inside of it.

“This syringe has a nasty chemical in it that my aunt development for the military to make people talk. See, she’s a doctor that does medical research and came across an interesting concoction. This chemical is based off the venom from a man-o-war jellyfish. What it does is caused every nerve in your body to feel intense pain. It won’t kill you, but after the effects wear off, you’ll wish it had killed you. Because for several hours afterwards, you’re still feeling a little tingle in certain areas of your body. In your case gentleman, it’s your penis and testicles. For some reason, this chemical affects the sexual or reproductions areas of the body the most. It will also affect other areas, like the nerves connected to
your eyesight, your hearing and your toes and fingers.”

Sasha walks over and injects both men with the chemical.

“Right now, you’re not going to feel anything because I deaden the nerve clusters in certain areas of your body. Once I remove those nerve blocks you’re going to feel the effects. The thing is, if you don’t tell me where I can find Adam Ludlum. I will remove those blocks and let the chemical do its work. However, if you tell me where I can find him and it's true, I will give you the antidote to counter that chemical. So, who wants to start talking to me?”

Neither guy says anything to Sasha, but just glare at her.

“Oh well, I’m going to have to pick who goes first.” Sasha takes a quarter out of her pocket and flips it in the air and slaps it down on the top of her hand.

“Which one of you wants Head/Tails?"

Neither guy answers her.

“Oh well, let’s see what it is then.” Sasha lifts her hand and it was tails.

“Well its tails guys, so I guess you are first.” Sasha looks at the guy on her right. He was the one talking the most crap yesterday and what he wanted to do to Cassandra and her.

Dan couldn’t believe that this crazy woman could make him talk. He didn’t feel anything from the chemical she had injected into him or John.
The next thing he feels is her striking him again in the same spot she did at first. At first it was still numb and then he started feeling an itch and then a slow burning sensation as it slowly increases to the point he couldn’t stand it and started to scream. It felt like someone had a match to his nerve and was burning it and then felt that burn spread.

John had been smirking all the time as he watches Sasha strike his partner Dan and nothing happened. After a few seconds, he notices Dan’s face start to contort and change as if someone was applying a lot of pain to him. The next thing he knows, Dan was screaming out like someone had stomp down on his foot or was skinning him alive.

“Do you want to talk to me or do you want to experience what he is experiencing?” Sasha just watches as the guy she releases the nerve cluster screams his head off from the pain.

She once asked her mother what it felt like and got her answer. She knew from then on never to ask that question and to never volunteer to endure it either. She watches the guys' face and listens as he screamed. She strikes the one on her right again and releases another nerve cluster.

Dan felt the pain increase in another part of his body. He didn’t feel the strike in that area, but he was feeling pain now.

Sasha looks at the one she hadn’t touched yet “now it’s your turn.”

She pulls her arm back to get ready to strike John.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Stop hurting my friend.” John couldn’t take any more of Dan’s screaming.

Sasha strikes the nerve clusters like before and numb them. She turns towards John.

“Start talking.”

Dan felt the pain disappear and heard Sasha’s voice when she told his partner to start talking.

“I don’t know where Adam Ludlum is. He is moving around because he is afraid of you. He knows if you get your hands on him, you’re going to kill him.”

“Alright, if you don’t know where he is, then why did he have you kill my employees?”

Sasha was going to have to lure Adam to her somehow.

“Revenge, you caused him to lose too many men and a huge amount of money. He wants you to feel what it is like to lose what you value.” John couldn’t read Sasha’s face. He could tell she was controlling herself.

“Why does he want Cassandra?”

“A crime boss in New York named Joel Busterly wants her. He put a 250,000-dollar bounty on her head. He wants her alive and brought to
him.” John knew it was dangerous telling that to this woman.

“Why is he so interested in Cassandra?” Sasha wanted to know more.

“I don’t know. He wants her alive is all I know. He doesn’t want her to be harmed in any way.” Sasha figure sit must be about Cassandra’s gifts.
That must be why he wants her so bad. She wonders if Cassandra knows him?

“I’ve answered your question. Give me the antidote. You promised.” John looks directly at Sasha.

“I never promised you anything. I said if you talked I would give it to you. I never said I promise. However, I will give it to you since you did talk.
But I do want you to experience the effects of the drug just like your partner did before I give you the antidote.”

Sasha strikes him in all three spots she numbed before.

Sasha listens as John screams his head off from the chemical affecting him. She gives the antidote to John’s partner and waits fifteen minutes before giving the rest of the antidote to John.

She stares into John’s eyes after the chemical is neutralized “I want you to remember this, because next time I won’t be so nice.”

Sasha lowers both guys and tie them up and call the police to come and get them. She knows she shouldn’t leave them alive, but she wasn’t going to kill them. No, she was going to kill Adam Ludlum instead. Once the police take the two of them away. She looks around the place to see what she can find. There should be something in there to tell her what or where Adam Ludlum was. She keeps looking, but doesn’t find anything.

She does know that she has something he wants. She’ll have to talk with Cassandra and see if the two of them can come up with something. She leaves the trucking business and heads towards the pub after changing her clothes.

Sasha stayed quiet as she was laying in the back of the van she had been grabbed and tossed in. She had gone back to the pub after stopping by the stage to grab a few items she was going to need. She had disguised herself to look like Cassandra and stepped outside of the pub and was grabbed within fifteen minutes of walking down the street. She had gotten with Cassandra and Jerry to tell them her plan. The whole thing hinged on Cassandra staying out of sight. Sasha had used her skills to disguise Cassandra to look like someone Sasha had met years ago. The whole thing hinged on Jerry treating Cassandra like she could see. Also, for someone else to be by Cassandra while she was disguised. Sasha had setup a hotel room near the security people that had stayed to watch her stuff.

When she stepped outside of the pub to take her daily walk, like Cassandra normally does. She was picked up right away and given a knockout drug. Luckily for her, she was expecting this type of treatment. She actives her tracking device to keep track where she was going.
The drug slowly wears off and she finds herself bound to a chair. She opens her eyes to look out through the pink wrap arounds glasses that Cassandra normally wears. There was two men guarding her. Her arms were duct taped to an old arm office chair. She kept pretending she was asleep. The two men guarding her weren’t paying any attention to her. So, Sasha slips a nail file that was glued to her skin. She manages to wiggle her fingers to move the nail file out so she could use it to cut through the duct tape. Once she gets her arm free, she makes it seem she is coming around.

She moans some and in a scare voice “where am I?”

“Ah! Sleeping beauty finally wakes-up.” Romeo walks over to Cassandra/Sasha.

Sasha stare directly at Romeo. Her contacts made her eyes the same as Cassandra’s.

“Why did you kidnap me?” Sasha slides the nail file back down her sleeve.

“Because you are worth a lot of money to someone and Mr. Ludlam is paying me good money to collect you. It’s funny, you’re supposed to be able to see the future, but you didn’t see your capture.” Romeo had a smirk on his face.

“I can’t see my own future. I only see other people’s future.” Sasha hopes the guy buys the lie.

Sasha had practice Cassandra’s voice to make sure she could sell the deception.

“Well, it’s too bad you didn’t see your future. Because now you are going to belong to someone for the rest of your life. Who knows, the person that wants you might breed you so your gifts can be passed on.” Romeo had an evil smile on his face.

Sasha figures he didn’t know the truth about Cassandra.

“Is Mr. Ludlum going to show up here?” Sasha was hoping he would.

“Yes, he will be showing up here with the buyer that wants you.” Romeo steps forward and caress Sasha’s face.

Sasha moves her head out of the way of his touch.

Romeo slaps her hard on her left cheek.

“You’ll be begging for any man’s touch after your new owner gets done with you.” Romeo turns around and walks back towards his partner.

Sasha flexes her left wrist to get her other nail file to move up so she could grab it. She cuts the duct tape holding her left wrist. She stops when she thinks the other guy spots what she was doing. She watches him and once he turns back to what he was doing. She sits quietly waiting for Adam Ludlum and the guy that wanted to buy her. She was going to give them a surprise of her own.

She had her outfit on underneath the clothes she had borrowed from Cassandra. Which meant she had access to some of her specialized gear. She just sat, watched and waited for Adam and the mysterious guy to show-up. A few hours go by before Adam and the mysterious person who wanted Cassandra shows-up.

Sasha watches as Adam and the other guy come walking in. They stopped to talk with Romeo and glances towards her a few times. She couldn’t hear what they were saying because they were keeping the conversation low. The guy that came with Adam Ludlum gives Romeo an envelope and then shakes his hand. She waits for Adam and his friend to come closer to her.

The mysterious guy she doesn’t know, come walking over and stands directly in front of her. A smile appears on his face.

“I have finally found you Cassandra. You’ll be making me very rich.” He just smiles at Cassandra.

Sasha springs up fast and strike several nerve clusters to paralyze him with those strikes. She palms some knockout golf balls and toss those at Romeo and his friend. She turns to face Adam and he fires his gun at her and hits her side.

The suit she had on under the clothes she borrowed from Cassandra absorbs the impact, but hurts like hell. She gets hit a second time and it sends her flying backwards to the floor. She tosses one of her tricked balls towards Adam striking him, but it didn’t explode like it was suppose too.

Adam Ludlum was startled when Cassandra had sprung up and struck Joel Busterly first and turned towards him. He should had known it was Wild Fire.

He aims his gun at her as she laid on the floor “say goodbye Wild Fire.”

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Sasha lifts her arm up palm first and flicks her wrist as two darts fire from under her wrist and strike Adam.

Adam felt his chest get hit by something, which caused him to fire his gun, missing Sasha. The next thing he feels is the numbing sensation spreading from his chest. He drops his gun and stumbles backwards as he drops towards the floor.

Sasha was in pain from the two gunshots she received. Both bullets had hit in the same area. She knew they hadn’t penetrated the suit, but the kinetic energy from the impact hurt like hell. She presses the emergency button on her wrist to summon the security team to get her before she passes out from the pain.

When she wakes a few hours later. She finds herself in her hotel room and can feel her chest wrapped up. She tries to move and feels a sharp pain when she does.

“I wouldn’t try moving too much. You have two fractured ribs.” Sara had bandage Sasha up when Harry and Freddy brought Sasha back to the hotel room, after receiving her emergency signal.

“Did you guys bring anyone else back?” Sasha wanted Adam.

“Yes, we brought the two guys that kidnapped you and the guy looking for Cassandra. Your target wasn’t there.”

“Dam it, I shot him with the needles to paralyze him.” Sasha was pissed that Adam had escaped her again.

“There was a black Lincoln Town car pulling away when we pulled up. Freddy is running the plates and you have a show tonight to perform.” Sara knew Sasha was going to have a hard time during her performance tonight with two fractured ribs.

“Dam it!” Sasha just stares up at the ceiling wondering what she was going to do to draw Adam out.

“Get some rest, Sasha. I’ll wake you when its time for you to head over to get ready for the performance.” Sara gets up to leave.

“Thanks Sara.” Sasha looks at Sara with a smile on her face.

“Any time Sasha, just get some rest.” Sara leaves the room.

Sasha lays down and takes a short nap before she had to get ready for her performance. She did change up one of her tricks because of her ribs. She also knew, if she was Adam and wanted to get back at her. It would be during her performance. He may not know anything about how she escapes from her tricks, but if he sabotages the trick. He could either kill her or trap her in her own trick. It’s a good thing she had more than one way out of her trick. Her mother designed the trick when she uses to performed on stage and passed the knowledge onto her.

A few hours later, she is woken-up by Sara telling her she needed to get up and get ready for her performance. Sasha goes through the process of getting ready. She takes a nice shower, being careful of her ribs. She puts on her performing outfit, that has a few of her specialized items built into it. She puts her make-up on till it is just right. She styles her hair into her signature style when she performs.

Sasha takes one more look at herself, before heading towards the center to perform. She pulls up in the back with her two body guards and heads inside. The crew and the people running the center was happy to see her. She rechecks her looks in her dressing room and step out on stage entering with her normal flare of showmanship. Her signature flame bird appearing on stage and her stepping out of the flames unharmed.

“Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight, I am going to dazzle and entertain you with tricks that have never been seen till tonight.”
Sasha tosses up into the air four doves composed of fire and have them fly around the center and then burst into starburst.

She goes through her tricks with no problems. Her ribs were a little sore from the tricks she was doing, but otherwise they were fine. When she gets to her last trick for her performance. She can tell someone messed with her trick. It was good she had another way out of the trick. She lets her crew know what she is doing and to make it look like she couldn’t get out of the trick.

She springs the trap and watches as everyone panics because she couldn’t get free from the trap. She plays up her part of panicking and being unable to free herself. She uses the trick of passing out from the trick, as her people get her out and pronounce her unconscious. They rush her to the waiting paramedics. She keeps playing possum and listen as they turn the sirens off. She knew how long it should take to get her to the hospital and they weren’t taking her there.

She keeps playing possum as she feels the ambulance turn this way or another. She could keep faking she was unconscious till they take her wherever it was they were taking her. She feels the ambulance stop and hear the back doors opens of the ambulance.

Adam has been waiting since he sabotaged Sasha’s magical trick. A smile appears on his face as he watches the ambulance back-up to the loading dock of the warehouse. The doors opened, and he sees Sasha lying unconscious on the stretcher.

“How is she?” He looks towards one of his people.

“She is totally out of it sir. I poked her with a needle and she didn’t even move.” The fake paramedic looks down at Sasha’s unconscious form.

Sasha had felt the needle the fake paramedic stuck her with and ignored it. Her training from her father had come in handy. She was going to buy her time. She didn’t want to give this asshole a third chance to escape her.

“Bring her in and strip her out of her costume. I don’t want to take any chances with her again.” Adam knew how tricky Sasha was and even if she wasn’t wearing her normal costume, this one might be rigged like her other ones.

The paramedics push the stretcher out of the back of the ambulance and start pushing her towards the loading dock doors. Just as she passes Adam. She causes the small jets in her suit to shoot flames out and burn right through the straps holding her down. She tosses down a handful of explosive pellets she had palmed and use them as distractions. She jumps up during the distractions and spring board off the stretcher landing behind Adam. She doesn't give him a chance to react, before she could restrain him.

She puts him in an arm hold and looks towards the others gathered around them. They were still a little disoriented from her explosion trick. She palms a knockout ball and tosses it into the ambulance and knocks out the occupants still in there.

“Let him go.” She had several people pointing guns at her.

“Really? You really think I’m going to let him go?” An evil smile appears on her face.

She makes blueish flames appears on one hand “unless you want a barbeque boss, I’ll would drop your guns and get down on your knees and
cross your ankles now.”

“Your bluffing.”

“I never bluff.” She moves her hand covered in flames closer to Adam’s face and he starts screaming.

“Do as she say, NOW!” Adam felt the flame as it burned his skin.

He watches as his men drop their guns and knee down. She hits a nerve cluster on Adam, so he is paralyzed. She also slips one of her explosive eggs down into his pants.

She leans in close to his ear “If any one tries to move you more than ten feet from me. That egg will explode and change your religion.”

She jumps down and secures his henchmen with their own zip ties. She takes one guys handgun and spare magazines. She tests the weight and looks at it.

“A Glock G43. Nice model and weight.” She just holds it and then radio her security people.

She looks at Adam Ludlum “I have something special planned for you.”

She hears Adam’s phone beep. She searches him and finds his cellphone. There was a text message asking if he had captured her yet?

She texts back,

Yes, I have her in custody as we speak. I'm getting ready to interrogate her.

Don’t! We need her unharmed.

Fine, I won’t touch her.

Just hold her till I tell you what to do next.

Sasha wonder who this other person was. She didn’t have her cellphone with her to ask her aunt to run the number. She’ll do that once she gets back to her hotel room. She wonders who the other person was that wanted to know about her?

Twenty minutes pass and her security team show-up. They make a call and a black van shows up.The security forces from her aunt’s personal security force said they would meet them at the airport. Adams men were going to be transported to a private maximum security prison, while Adam Ludlum is transported to an interrogation center owned by a false company owned by her parents.

Before she leaves Canton, Georgia. She stops in to see and wish Cassandra goodbye.

When she walks into the restaurant, she notices Cassandra sitting at her normal table with a smile on her face.

She walks up to her “well, you look like the cat that ate the canary.”

“I’m just happy that you survived and capture Adam Ludlum. Not only did you do that. You brought me and Jerry together. Than you go and
capture the one guy that has been chasing me before I had my operation. How can I ever thank you?”

“Just do what you do now. Be the best person you can and enjoy your life. Are there children in the future for you two?”

“Yes, there’s a young lady that’s pregnant now. Her uncle got her pregnant and she wants to give the baby up. She should be in here sometime next week. I’m going to tell her I’ll be interested in adopting the baby and she can still visit the child. I won’t take that away from her.”

Cassandra felt sorry for what happened between the girl and her uncle. It was a good thing the girl’s uncle was going to jail for having sex with his niece.

“Well, you’re going to make a wonderful mother and Jerry is going to be a wonderful father.” Sasha hugs Cassandra.

“Thank you, Sasha. Can I give you a small piece of advice?” Cassandra looks at Sasha’s face.

“Sure, what is it?” Sasha was curious.

“Take some time off and spend it with your children and wife. They miss you and know what you do is important, but they just want you with
them for a while.” Cassandra had seen it.

“I will. I think after I finish this job. Me and my family will go on vacation or stay around the house for a while.”

“That might be better for you Sasha. Your girls want, you to be around and I know your wife is missing you.”

“I promise, Cassandra. I’ll take some time off and enjoy it with them. If you ever need anything. Call me.” Sasha hugs Cassandra goodbye.

“I will and thank you.” Cassandra returns the hug and let Sasha go.

Sasha walks out of the restaurant and head for the airport to fly home.

Sasha was tired when the plane landed. She was barely able to keep her eyes open by the time she was dropped off at her apartment. She would had gone to Siren’s mansion to see her daughters and sleep with her wife, but she was just too tired.

By the time she got out of the elevator and used her key to open her apartment door. She was dragging her feet. She starts taking off her clothes as soon as she was inside her place. She walks into her bedroom and notice someone was sleeping in her bed.

Sasha looks at the sleeping form and noticed it was her older sister Janius. She crawls in next to her older sibling and wonder why she was at her place. When she goes to hold her sister, she notices bruises on her sister’s arms. Sasha brushes some of her sister’s hair aside and notices someone had punched her in the face. She wonders if their mother knew.

Janius stirred when she felt someone lay next to her. She knew it could only be one person. She turns and notices her little sister lying next to her. She snuggles close to her sister and feel Sasha wrap her arms around her. She buries her face against her little sister’s shoulder and let the tears flow.

Sasha just holds her sister close to her and let her cry. She’s never seen her older sister like this before. Something must had been traumatic to affect her sister like this. She just holds her, till she falls asleep from crying. Sasha slowly closes her eyes and just hold her sister as the of them slept.
Nothing could touch them here in her place.

Sasha wakes up in the morning with her sister still snuggled close to her. She slips out of bed, and head into the bathroom to relieve her bladder. When she walks into the bathroom, she notices that the sink had blood in it and her emergency medical kit was spilled all over on the floor. There were towels with blood staining them. She rushes to the toilet and pee. Her bladder was ready to burst.

As she is sitting there on the toilet doing her business. She spots the bloody foot prints on her tile floor. They were her sister’s size. Once she is done doing her business, she cleans the bathroom up and put her medical kit back together. She peeks in on her sister and notices she was still asleep.

Sasha walks into her living room and notices the bloody footprints on her carpet. She pulls her cellphone out and dial her mother’s phone.

Wolfhart Mansion:
Janet was in the kitchen fixing breakfast for their newest son. He still had nightmares from the repeated rapes, but was slowly adjusting to being treated like a boy. He didn’t feel right being a girl and felt more comfortable as a boy. Janet didn’t mind, because she already raised a male to female child.

After everything he had been through, Janet was surprised that Miles was adjusting like he was. She had him seeing a good friend of hers for the trauma he suffered. He was also seeing her for his gender identity. She watches Miles as he sat at the kitchen table with her husband. He was becoming more and more like her husband and older brother. As she is standing there, her cellphone starts ringing. She knew it was Sasha from the ring tone she assigned her.

“Gooding morning sweetie. How are you doing?”

“Gooding morning, mom. I’m doing fine. Are you busy this morning?” Sasha was keeping an eye on her sister.

“Not really. I was going to do some shopping for your brother. Why, what’s up?” Janet was getting a feeling that something was wrong.

“Mom, Janius has been hurt and I don’t know how bad. She’s asleep right now in my bedroom.” Sasha saw her sister shiver.

“Do you know what happened, Sasha?” Janet was heading towards her medical room to grab her doctor’s bag.

“No ma’am. I came home late last night and found Janius in my bed. There was blood and my emergency medical kit was all over the floor in my bathroom this morning. There were bloody footprints on the carpet as well.” Sasha watches as her sister sits up in bed and hears her screaming for someone to stop.

“Mom, you better get here fast. I think she might have been raped.” Sasha hangs up on her mother and rushes to her sister.

“Leland, I’m heading towards Sasha’s place. Janius has been hurt.” Janet rushes out toward her car.

Leland watches as his wife rushes out towards the garage. She didn’t even give him a chance to respond.

Sasha’s place:
Janius had woken-up from a flashback caused by the men that raped her. She had been ambushed coming out of her law office by several men wearing black outfits that her father and his crew wore. She tried to fight them off as she was pulled into the van. She felt a needle stuck into her neck, that knocked her out. When she came too, she was completely naked and surrounded by five nude burly men wearing mask. She tried to fight them off like her father and mother taught her, but she couldn’t hold them off as they overwhelmed her. They beat her so badly, she couldn’t fight back as they started to take turns with her. She passed out as they raped her repeatedly.

When she came to, she found herself in her sisters parking garage hurting all over and covered in blood. She could barely move as she crawled towards the elevator. She managed to make her way up to her sister’s place. She knew where Sasha kept her spare key and let herself in. After that everything was a blur to her. She feels arms wrapped around her and tries to pull away from them.

“It’s me Janius, it’s your little sister.” Sasha tries to get her sister to stop fighting her.

Janius breaks free from Sasha’s grip and moves away from her. As she lays there on the floor; she balls up into the fetal position and cries. She trembles from the memory of what had been done to her. she felt dirty and ashamed.

Sasha walks over slowly and sits down next to her big sister. She pulls her sister up onto her lap gently and hold her. Whoever raped her sister, was going to face justice from her. She just holds her sister, till she hears her door open.

“Where in here mom.” Sasha knew it had to be her mother, because the door was locked. She had a special type of locked that couldn’t be picked or bypass. Her Aunt had designed it, with input from her mother. Her mother was the escape artist and knew the most about locks.

Janet comes rushing into Sasha’s bedroom and notices her holding her big sister. Janius body was covered in bruises and blood. There was blood between her legs.

Janet rushes over towards her daughters and examine Janius, while Sasha held her. Janet slips into her Doctor persona and checked her daughter over. Whoever raped her daughter, injured her badly. Janet pulls out her cellphone and calls the hospital nearby and have them send the ambulance.

Janet holds her baby as Sasha takes a quick shower and put on some clothes. When the ambulance shows up. Janet and Sasha help them with Janius. Janet gives her car keys to her daughter.

“Call your father and have him meet us down at the hospital.” Janet follows the paramedics down to the ambulance.

Sasha calls her father. She knew once her father finds out, that there was going to be hell to pay.

Leland Wolfhart:
Leland was out with their newest son, Miles. He didn’t mind having a female to male as a son. He knew how their newest son felt. After all, he raised a male to female. He did notice Miles didn’t like to be too far from him. As they were walking out of the barber shop. His cellphone starts ringing. He recognizes the ring tone as belonging to his daughter Sasha.

“What’s up Sasha?” Him and Miles had stopped just outside the barber shop.

“Dad, you need to get to the hospital. Mom had to take Janius there.” Sasha was waiting outside the operating room, while her mother operated on Janius.

“What happened, Sasha?”

“Janius was raped, dad. We don’t know who did it or why. I’m here right now, waiting on mom to finish operating on Janius. Whoever raped her, tore her up inside and beat the hell out of her, dad.” It was taking everything Sasha had not to break down while she talked with her father.

“I’m on the way Sasha.” Leland ends the call.

“Come on Miles, we need to go and meet your mother and sisters.” Leland leads Miles back to his truck and they head towards the hospital.

Hospital:
Sasha was sitting and waiting for her mother to come out and tell her how Janius was. As she is sitting there waiting, she receives a video on her phone, along with a text message.

The message read:
Return Adam Ludlum to us or this will be your girls and band member next. While you watch as we do the samething to them as we did to your sister.

Sasha plays the video and saw it was a recording of her sister being raped by five burly men wearing mask. Her sister was putting up a good fight, but the enclosed space gave the men the advantage. She watched as the men used her sister like she was some sort of common street whore. Her hands were warming up from her anger and from the temperature of her cellphone. When the video neared the end, it showed Siren, Rose and Gracie out shopping and enjoying themselves. The cellphone shuts off from the internal temperature raising as little wisps of smoke were raising from her cellphone.

She was ready to kill Adam Ludlum for what those men did to her sister. She looks up and notice her father and new brother walking towards her. She tries to get her temper under control, because if she didn’t. She was going to barbecue someone.

Leland spotted Sasha right away and notices the expression on her face. He has seen that look before and knew she was ready to kill someone.

“How is your sister?”

“I don’t know yet, daddy. Mom is still operating on her.” Sasha looks up at her father with an angry look on her face.

“It’s my fault she’s in there, daddy.”

“Why is it your fault, Sasha?” Leland wanted to know why his youngest daughter felt she was responsible.

“Can I see your phone daddy? Mine is broken.” Sasha shows her ruined phone to her father.

Leland hands his cellphone to his daughter.

Sasha accesses her private cloud account. Anything sent to her cellphone, automatically gets saved in her private cloud account. She brings up the text she got and the video that was sent to her. She gives her father’s cellphone back to him, so he could see it.

Miles looks at his sister. She was the one that rescued her.

“Are you okay, sis?” He sits down next to his sister as their father watched the video.

“I’m okay, it’s Janius I’m worried about.” Sasha wanted to kill Adam and whoever the mysterious person was that had text him.

“I’M GOING TO KILL THEM!”

Both Sasha and Miles jump when they heard their father’s angry voice. There was a growl to his voice. Sasha knew what that tone of voice meant. When her father was angry, someone was going to die.

Leland looks towards his daughter “did you capture this Ludlum person?”

“Yes sir. He’s being held at yours and Aunt Janet’s private interrogation center.”

“Good! I better not show this to your mother, or there will be hell to pay.” Leland wanted this person for himself. He knew what Janet would do, if she finds out.

“Show me what?” Janet had stepped out of the operating room to inform Sasha about her sister’s condition.

Janet stands before her husband, daughter and son still in her scrubs. There was blood still on them.

“How is Janius mom?” Sasha was hoping to distract her mother.

“She’s better now. If we hadn’t gotten her here, when we did. Your sister would have bleed to death. She had some internal bleeding and extensive tearing in her vagina area. Luckily, we got to it in time. Now, what are you two hiding?” She looks towards her husband.

“You might as well show her, dad.” Sasha knew better then to hide things from her mother.

Leland shows Janet the video and text. Miles and Sasha watched as the expression on their mother’s face went from exhaustion to pure anger.

“NOBODY HURTS MY LITTLE GIRL!” Janet gives her husband back his cellphone. She looks towards Sasha.

“Where is this Mr. Adam Ludlum young lady?”

Sasha was scared now of her mother. She has never seen her mother this angry before. The look on her mother’s face even scared her.

“He’s at the interrogation center owned by you and Aunt Janet, mom. Along with some of his men.”

“Good, because he is going to answer me.”

Sasha watches as her mother goes to change her clothes.

Miles leans towards Sasha “I was scared just then.”

“Me too, Miles. I was scared as well. I have never seen mom like that before.” Sasha looks at her father and could tell he was still angry.

He had just gotten off the phone to members of his unit. Two of them were coming here to the hospital to watch over Janius. The others were going to be on standby to get the men that raped his daughter.

“Come on kids. We better go join your mother, before she leaves here without us.” Leland starts heading down to the parking lot.

Sasha and Miles follow their father. By the time they get to the truck he had driven over. They notice their mother was standing there and she was dressed in her old outfit. The one she was wearing, was the old outfit she used to wear when she went after crooks. The leotard tux with fishnet stocking, high heels and top hat. It was based off her old stage costume. Both her spare fully automatic fifty caliber Desert Eagles handguns could be seen in their holster on her hip.

Leland pulls his custom made combat armor out from a hidden compartment in the truck. His combat armor was built by .Janet's twin sister. He doubles checks the custom shotgun and rifle. He had identical pair of forty five caliber Browning handguns that had been customized by Janet's sister.

"The shit is about to hit the fan, Miles. Mom and Dad are taking lead and we better stand back when they start interrogating Adam Ludlum.Adam Ludlum may be CIA trained and able to resist being torture and interrogated, but mom and dad are masters at getting people to spill their secrets. Especially mom. " Sasha just shivers thinking about what her parents were capable of.

They all load up into the truck and head towards the interrogation center where Ludlum was being held.

The ride over towards the interrogation center was quiet. Sasha and Miles could feel the anger in the air as they sat in the back seats behind their parents. Sasha noticed that her mothers jaw was clinched. She couldn't see any expression on her father’s face, because he had put on his helmet that covered his face. It was a good thing that the windows were tinted dark, so people couldn’t see into the truck.

Miles leans over towards his sister “Sasha, do you know what mom and dad is going to do that Adam Ludlum person?”

“Remember, what I did to that council member that had been raping Gracie?” Sasha had turned to look at Miles.

“Yes, you burned his testicle and penis off. Is mom going to do the same thing?”

“Nope, mom wasn’t born with my type of gift. Mom is like Aunt Janet and the twins. They are considered geniuses. All four of them have IQ scores close to two hundred. Plus, mom and Aunt Janet were raised by an ancient shinobi clan.” Sasha meet the family that raised and taught her mother the way of shinobijutsu. Most of her mother’s escape artist and illusions were based on that training along with what she learned from other stage magicians.

“What is shinobi?” Miles had never heard the word before.

“It means ninjitsu. The plane mom and Aunt Janet was on crashed near an ancient ninja family clan. The family adopted them and raised them as their very own children. They also taught mom and Aunt Janet their skills and technique. Mom is the only one between the two of them that continued to maintain her training. She blended it with her stage magician tricks. When I came of age and wanted to follow in her footsteps, she taught me. Dad also taught me what he knew as well.” Sasha had spotted her mother glance towards her while she was talking with Miles.

Miles glances towards his new parents. He wonders if they would train him if he asked.

Miles and Sasha watches as their father drove the truck to a loading dock entrance of an old Coke Cola bottling plant.

Miles notices that their father presses some thing on his right wrist. The garage door they had stopped at begins to open and as soon as they pull inside, it starts to close behind them. The truck continues for a few minutes, going down a ramp and comes to a complete stop. Both Miles and Sasha notices that there were two black vans parked next to their father’s truck.

Janet turns around in her seat to look at Miles and Sasha “Miles, you can wait in one of the offices here while we get the information from Adam on who was sent to rape your sister, or you can come to the observation room and watch. Sasha, you’re to do nothing. I don’t care how much Adam taunt you or threaten us. You don’t do anything. He is ours and I am going to get the information out of him.”

“Yes ma’am.” Sasha swallows and wonders if there is going to be anything left of Adam Ludlum after this.

Sasha and Miles get out of the truck and follow behind their mother as their father brings up the rear. They stop at one of the offices, which looked nice. There was a nice leather chair and sofa, along with a bookcase and a television.

Janet turns to look at Miles “do you want to stay here or continue on?”

Miles looks at his mother’s face “I want to continue on, mom.”

Janet examines her son’s face and look directly in his eyes. She could tell he meant it.

She puts her hand on his shoulder “You are going to see a part of me and your father, that will scare you. Remember, we would never hurt you or allow any one else to get away with hurting you.” She gives him a hug.

“Come on Miles, I’ll show you how to turn on the recording equipment.” Sasha escorts Miles to where everything was setup and where they could see everything in the room. The whole wall separating the interrogation room and the observation room was one huge one-way wall. They could see everything in the room, but no one could see them.

Interrogation Room:
Adam had woken-up some time ago in a cold room and found himself hanging by his wrist from the ceiling, stripped naked. There was a tray sitting about twenty feet from him, covered up with a green cloth. He felt empty spots in his mouth where all his false teeth had been that contained the drugs to either put him out like before or allowed him to be tracked or blow a poison gas on a person.

He had no idea where he was. Along one wall that was next to him was dark glass. The rest of the room was white and there was a drain in the middle of the room. He watches as a door opens directly in front of him and two strangely dressed people come walking in. Just as he was about to say something, he felt pain in both of his shoulder, just below his collar bone. He starts wiggling around as he feels a burning sensation from the wound get hotter and hotter, till it was burning his skin. Smoke was coming from the wound itself. After a few minutes, the burning sensation stops, but the damage it did to where it entered his body, was done.

Adam notices that one of the two figures, was an older woman and she was dressed like a stage magician. He knew right away who that was, but the other person that was wearing a full suit of body armor and had their head covered, he didn’t know who that person was.

Janet walks up to Ludlum and yanks her throwing knives out of his body.

“Good morning Mr. Ludlum. Do you want to tell me now who you are working for and why they sent five guys to rape my daughter?” Janet was wiping the blood off her throwing knives.

“Your daughter deserved it. She was sticking her nose in business that didn’t concern her.” Adam head jerked back from the punch that came from nowhere.

He had taken his eyes off Leland and Leland had gotten close to him to hit him in the jaw. Leland grabs Adams body and turn him around to face him “I would answer the question.”

Adam felt the strength in the mans hands as he squeezed his arms.

“Go fuck yourself.” Adam spits at Leland’s face covering.

Janet shoves a spike right at the nerve cluster of Adams spine.

Adam felt a sharp pain from something being shoved into the lower part of his back. The next thing he didn’t feel was his legs. He had lost all feeling to his legs

“What did you do?” Adam couldn’t believe he couldn’t feel his legs any more.

“Oh, I just cut off the feeling to your legs, Mr. Ludlum. You see, I know where every nerve cluster is in your body and I know how to inflict the most amount of pain as possible or take away your ability to walk again or even, stop your heart.” Janet hits Adam’s chest softly and causes his heart beat to start skipping.

Adam felt like he was having a heart attack after the woman had hit him in the middle of his chest.

“Who are you?” Adam had felt the man that had been holding him, let him go.

“I wouldn’t worry about who I am. I would be more concern about what the two of us can do to you.” Janet watches as her husband hits Adam hard in his kidney.

Adam screams as he is hit in the kidney.

“Now, are you going to tell me who went after my daughter, or should we have some more fun?” As she punches him in his groin.

Adam screams as he felt his testicles punched. He screams again as he felt his kidneys hit again and again.

“Oh, before I forget. You’re not going to pass out on us.” Janet stabs Adam in the chest with a needle and inject him with a drug.

“You’re going to stay wide awake as we inflict pain upon you, until you tell me what I want to know.” Janet nods her head towards her husband.
Leland punches Adam in his kidneys again and again.

Observation Room:
Sasha had never seen her mother and father interrogate anyone before and was impressed. She watches as her father kept hitting Adam in the kidneys and as her mother press something on her wrist and Adam started dancing like a worm on a hook.

“Wow! Mom and dad are really tearing into that guy.” Miles could hear everything their parents were saying in there.

“Yep and I know I would had started talking by now if I was being tortured by them.” Sasha knew she might be able to holdout a little while
longer, but with the way her parents were acting. She doubts she could hold out much longer.

Interrogation room:
Janet saw that their current technique wasn’t working. So, she switches tactics and instead of dulling the pain with the device attached to his spine, she increases it a hundred-fold.

Adam starts screaming as he felt the pain he had already taken increase to a level he had never felt before. It was worse than anything the CIA had prepared him for. It was pushing him pass his limits.

Leland punches Adam with the gloves electrified. He punches hard at Adam’s kidney and leaves his fist there, while Adam shakes badly. He watches as Adam empty’s his bowel and bladder. He saw Adam starting to foam at the mouth. He removes his fist from Adam’s body.

“GREG HALLAWAY! GREG HALLAWAY! He sent men to rape your daughter. He is the one responsible and who I currently work for.”

“Greg Hallaway, the billionaire who owns almost all of Detroit, Land in most of the major cities and contributes to the Republican party? He also owns a chain of pharmaceutical companies?”

“Yes, bitch. Greg Hallaway. He has ties to a few terrorist organizations and countries that shield them. He was sending a message to your dam daughter to back off, because she cost him money. The women and children she freed were meant as payment for one of his clients.” Adam was looking at Janet.

“How do I find him and the men he sent to rape my daughter.”

“The men are easy to get. They work for a Private Security contracting company named C.E.M.A. They all work for the company.” Adam couldn’t believe he was telling them this information.

“And what about Greg Hallaway?” Janet wanted him, but knew she’ll have to send Sasha instead.

“He’s normally stays at his place in Santa Monica, CA. You’ll never get close to him, because he is always surrounded by his bodyguards, who happen to be mercenaries.” Adam doubts this woman, or the other guy could get to him.

“You would be amazed at what can be done. Also, a rocket launcher is a good equalizer as well.” Janet pulls her cellphone out and walks away from Adam and Leland.

“Hey sis. I need for you to send your strike team to C.E.M.A. and bring the bastards back to me. I’m sending Sasha to deal with their leader.”

Aero Flight Industries:

“They are on their way now, Sis.” Janet Elizabeth had managed to strip the mask of the men from the video her sister forward to her. She used her resources and got their current location. She took all their assets and put them on all the terrorist watch list. If these guys thought, they could get away with raping her niece. Then she was going to show them they were wrong. Her mercenary team was already on their way to apprehend these guys and take them back to the interrogation center.

Interrogation Center:
Janet puts her cellphone away and walks back over towards Adam Ludlum.

“We’ll see if your information is correct. In the meantime, why don’t you just hang around?” She gives him a spin as she walks away with her husband to join Sasha and Miles.

Observation room:
Miles and Sasha had watched their parents tortured Adam Ludlum. At first, they didn’t think their parents were going to get him to talk, but he finally did. It only took her parents thirty minutes to get him to squeal like a pig.

“Sasha, you’re going after Greg Hallaway and bring him back here for questioning.” Janet made sure her daughter knew she wanted him alive.

“Yes ma’am.”

Miles gives his sister a hug “good luck sis.”

“Thanks baby brother.” She returns the hug and heads towards the office they passed earlier when they came in and dials Mystics number.

Mystics resident:
Mystic was lifting weights when he heard his cellphone go off. It was an unlisted number, it had Sasha code attached to it.

“What’s up Sas?”

“Hey Mystic, can you come and pick me up please?”

“Sure, where’s your vette at?” Mystic knew Sasha normally drove her Vette or her soaped up Mustang.

“It’s in the shop right now for a tune-up. I’m picking it up later.”

“Alright, give me your address.” Mystic grabs a pen and paper.

“1248 Coca cola road.”

“Alright, give me twenty minutes. Bye.” Mystic hangs up and goes and grabs his keys to get Sasha. The little girl he adopted was with his mother and father getting used to having grandparents. Sasha walks out the door to meet Mystic at the corner. If people truly knew what went on here, they would have a shit brick.

Twenty minutes later:
Mystic pulls up in his new Tesla. He loved old cars, but he also liked the Tesla’s as well.

“Hey good looking. How much for the night?” He had a playful smile on his face.

“You couldn’t afford me darling.” Sasha climbs in and gives him a kiss on the cheek.

“Where too, beautiful?” Mystic was looking at Sasha.

“To my apartment first and then the airport afterwards. I need to pick up my gear and my spare cellphone. My corvette is waiting for me, at the airport.”

“Your wish is my command.” Mystic heads towards Sasha’s place first.

Sasha was so happy to see the corvette again. It’s nice shiny black paint gleamed in the sunshine.

“Thanks Mystic.” Sasha gets out of his car.

“Sasha, do you want me to tell Siren you are back in town?” Mystic looks at her.

“No, I’ll call her from my apartment.”

“Okay, be careful out there.” Mystic rolls the window up and drives off, leaving Sasha looking at her corvette.

“Hello, beautiful. Did you miss me?” Sasha walks up to the Corvette and places her palm against the door.

She hears the lock clicks and the door opens for her. She climbs in and put the five-point harness on. Once she is secure. She presses the start button and the corvette comes alive. She gives it some gas and she is speeding out of the storage lot and out onto the main road that will take her by her place. She tunes her radio and listens to some music as she drives.

Once she gets near her place, she slows down and park her car. She gets out and heads up to her apartment. She was going to have to get the cleaning crew to come by and clean her place. She heads into her bedroom and over to her closet. She moves her clothes aside and presses a concealed button to release the hidden door. The door swings open and all her gear was hanging there. She grabs her spare cellphone and activates it. She changes out of her normal clothes and slip on her skintight body suit and her utility belt around her waist. She loads up on all her specialized gear and finally she grabs her .50 caliber full automatic handguns. She grabs three spare magazines for each gun.

She checks her guns, before putting them in their holsters. She picks up her house phone and dials Sirens cellphone.

Siren’s Manison:
Sirens hears her cellphone play the ringtone she assigned to Sasha.

“Hello sweetie. How is your morning going?” Siren takes a sip of her coffee.

“Not so good. As you can see, I’m back in town. I arrived late last night and came here to my apartment and found my sister Janius beaten-up and rape, Siren.”

“Is she going to be okay?” Siren knew how close Sasha was to her sister.

“She’s in critical condition right now. Mom, operated on her, so she’ll make it. Adam Ludlum was partially responsible because of my actions.
There is another person responsible for ordering the attack on my sister. I’m going after him as soon as I hang up from talking with you.” Sasha looks around her apartment.

“If there is anything I can do, let me know. What hospital is your sister at?” Siren grabs her Ipad to input the hospital name.

“She’s at St. Catherine’s memorial hospital. In the ICU unit.”

“Alright. I’ll go down there and check on her.” Siren liked her sister-in-law.

“Don’t you or the kids leave the property, Siren. I don’t know if the guy I am going after has people watching you and the kids right now. If you
do have to leave the property. Call my father or my older brother.” Sasha didn’t want anything to happen to her wife or the kids.

“I can take care of myself, Sasha. You made sure of that.” Siren remembers the training Sasha gave her. She keeps up on her training and using a few of Sasha’s stage magician tricks.

“I know baby, but my sister could hold her own as well and they still managed to overcome her. The only advantage you have over my sister are my little surprises.” Sasha knew her sister didn’t carry any of her little surprises. She was going to change that once her sister was feeling better.

Sirens sighs, she knew Sasha was right. This whole situation was the reason she wanted her wife to have a separate place away from the mansion.

“Look, we’re going have to talk about things when you are done with your current case. The girls are missing you and so am I. The band has been hired to do a few gigs you need to know about and we have to finish our fifth album.”

“I know baby. Cassandra told me that I needed to talk with you and the band.” Sasha remembers the conversion she had with Cassandra before she left.

“Who’s Cassandra?” Siren was curious about who her wife has been talking too.

“She was my last case and I’ll tell you about her when I get home. You would also like her.” Sasha knew Siren would like her.

“You’re going to have to tell me about her then, when you get home. Where are you off to now?” Siren would like to hear more about this Cassandra person.

“To grab the man who sent men to rape my sister. Mom and Dad want the man brought back alive. So, I can’t kill him for what he did to her.”
Sasha wanted to kill the man for what he did to her sister.

“Just don’t lose yourself, Sasha. How long do you think you’ll be gone?” Siren wanted her wife back, because they had things that needed to be done and the girls wanted to see their mother as well.

“I shouldn’t be gone more then a few days, but let’s say a week to be on the safe side. If you don’t hear from me within 48 hours, call my parents. They can track where I am.” Sasha knew the chip inside of her would allow her mother or aunt track her.

“How can they track you?” Siren didn’t know Sasha’s parents could track their children.

“All of us have chips inside of us that mom or Aunt Janet can track us with by satellite. I’ll tell you about it when I get home. Because I have been thinking about doing the same thing to our girls.” Sasha felt that it was a necessary pre-caution because of who they were and how much money they had.

“We’ll talk about it when you get home.” Siren didn’t think it was a bad idea. If she had one when she was younger, her parents would had discovered her having her first sexual encounter.

“Well, I’m going to let you go sweetie. The sooner I leave, the sooner I’ll be back.”

“Okay, be safe and come home safe. I love you.” Siren wanted her wife home.

“I will, I promise. Hug the girls for me.” Sasha hangs up.

She makes one more phone call to the cleaning crew she uses to comer in and clean her place up and get the blood out. She hangs up afterwards and heads down to her corvette and inputs the address where she needs to go. She pulls out her Iphone and link it with her car radio and play her favorite playlist.

As she is leaving, she spots a car with a group of men in it. A smile appears on her face as she pulls out at normal speed to see if she was right about them. She watches the car in the rear camera system get behind the car behind her. She turns the GPS off and head for a place she knows they are doing work at. She pulls the car into an alley way and wait for the other car. She gets out and stands behind the corvette waiting for them.

She spots their car coming towards her. She just stands there and as they get closer, she reaches into a pouch on her belt and pull two golf balls out and toss them underneath the front of the car. The balls explode sending the motor through the top of the hood and stopping the car in it’s track. She contains the fireball the explosion created. She hovers it above the car with her ability.

“Why don’t you guys throw your guns out the window and get out with your hands up?” Sasha could feel a headache building from using her ability. The fireball she was feeding and containing above their car, was causing the headache.

Brent was watching the woman in front of them and couldn’t believe she just caused their engine to pop out of the engine department. He felt the vibration from the explosion and saw the flames in front and on the side of the car.

One of the guys rolls down his window and fires his gun at her. As he is firing at her, a tendril of flames wraps around his hand and burns him. It evaporates after burning him.

Sasha didn’t know how much longer she could hold and feed the fireball. She saw the one guy sticking his head out to fire at her. She had side stepped from where she had been standing and caused a tendril of flames to come down and wrap around the guys arm to burn him. Once it had done its job, she let it go. The headache she had building was getting worse. She needed to let the fire evaporate. She sends a few tendrils into the car and burn a few people.

The guys in the car get out as fire enters through the opened window. They literally fall on their face as they tried to get away from the flames. Some of them get burn from the flames.

Sasha watches as the guys fall out of the burning car. She had finally let the fireball she had been holding go and let it do its job. She looks at the guys with a smile on her face.

“Now, you have seen what I can do. Toss your weapons and drop to your knees, NOW!” Sasha was done playing around. She causes two throwing knives drop down into her hands.

“Fuck you, Bitch!” They bring their guns out to fire at her.

Sasha let flies the throwing daggers she had palmed at their chest. She watches as the knives hit home and bury themselves up to the handle of the knives. She walks over to them and start searching them. She pulls their wallets out and cellphones. She couldn’t believe it. These guys worked for the company her mother was going after. She pulls her throwing knives out and clean them on their shirts. She does call her friend at the police department to come out. She tells him she can’t stick around, but he could call her.

Sasha keeps whatever cash they have on hand, their id’s and their cellphones. She dumps everything else as she walks back to her corvette and pop two Aleve’s into her mouth for her headache. She only got bad headaches like she has now, when she used her ability like she did for a period. She turns her GPS back on and heads towards Greg Hallaway's place.

She turns the auto drive on as she looks at the location from Google maps. She didn't know what security measures the guy has. She'll need to do some recon, before taking any type of action.

Sasha stays hidden where she was hiding. Greg Hallaway had a pretty good security system and she had counted seven guards protecting him. Four guards were outside while the other three were inside the house. They had cameras around the property along with motion detectors guarding the grounds. Sasha figures if his outside security was this good, then inside would be as well. She was able to get a small drone to fly around the property checking the windows and such without it being seen or heard.

She knew, if she was going to do anything. It would have to be at night. The daytime was too dangerous, and she didn’t feel like getting into a prolong gun battle with the guards. They had her out gunned seven to one. She could use the corvette, but it wasn’t equipped with any weapons. She just sits quietly and watches the place till night falls before she does anything. She takes a sip of water from a bottle she brought with her.

Night time finally falls as Sasha waits till a little after midnight. She figures everyone should be asleep or relax by now. She grabs her gear and check the property and the guards. She sneaks to the side of the house, where the security was lacking and up to the roof, where there wasn’t any security. She locates the exhaust fans pipes and drop her knock out balls down the pipe.

She drops down at the back door and look through the windows and spots no one in the kitchen. She knows there is a sensor on the door. She disables it as she picks the lock and slip inside the place. She had her mask up to cover her nose as she passes one of the security guards knocked out on the floor. She passes a few more guards as she heads upstairs towards the master bedroom, where her target was sound asleep. Greg Hallaway was sleeping nude on the bed. She also notices that he was laying on top of someone. She moves his body and finds a young girl laying face down on the bed. Her hands were secured and stretched about her head with her legs spread and secured to the legs of the bed.

Sasha saw that he had been having sex with the person. When she releases her restraints, and turn the girl over. She discovers that the girl was a transgender. Someone had given her breast that were too big for her small slim frame, pouty lips and her facial appearance made her look extremely young. The only thing that spoiled how she looked were her breast. Her frame was to small for the huge breast that had been implanted in her.

Sasha frees her and searches the rest of the house. She finds that two of the guards had party favors of their own. There were two women that looked like they were being used for entertainment for the guards. She does find a secure door and pick the lock on it and inside laying on the floor was a nude black hair teenage t-girl. She looked like she just had surgery, because her face, chest area and hips and buttocks were covered up by bandages.

Sasha knew she wasn't going to be able to transport three people in her corvette. She starts securing everyone that was out of it, while she dialed her mother’s cellphone.

Mutt Medical Center (Staff Break Room):
Janet and Leland had worked over Adam and got more information out of him. The men that had raped their daughter were secure after Janet removed their manhood. Leland had taken his anger out on them. They were in critical condition at the hospital on a secure floor. No one was allowed near them unless Janet had cleared them. She made sure they were never going to be able rape any woman ever again. Once they were healed from the surgery she did to them, they were going to see how they liked it. She knew some guys in a Texas prison that loved rapist.

While Janet was sitting and resting from the last surgery she performed, her cellphone played Sasha’s ring tone.

“What’s up Sasha?”

“Mom, I found the guy responsible for sending the guys after Janius. The problem is, I have two T-girls here that he keeps around for entertainment. One he was having sex with, when I knocked everyone out and the other looks like she just had surgery and was locked in a small dark closet. I can’t transport all three in the corvette.” Sasha was making sure everyone stayed unconscious.

“Send me the address. I’ll send your brother and your cousin Tony to help you out.” Janet figures those two should be fine.

“Alright, it’s going to take them at least two hours to get to me. The knock out gas I used should keep my prisoners and Greg Hallaway knocked out.” Sasha had made the knocked-out gas extra potent just for this case.

“Alright sweetie. Let me know if you need anything else.”

“I will mom. Love you.” Sasha disconnects and starts looking around the house again.

She finds a hidden door that led to a set of stairs that went down into what looks like a man-made basement. As she looks around in the room, it had all sorts of photographic equipment, revealing costumes and jail cells with young kids locked up inside of them. There had to be at least five kids around the age of ten or so. They looked like they were all asleep. She looks around to see if her knock out gas had affected them, but didn’t find any vents and such. She goes back upstairs and wait for her brother and cousin to show up. She gathers his laptop and cellphones and another computer he owned up, so they can transfer to the vehicle her brother shows up in.

Two hours Later:
Janus pulls up in the drive way of the address his mother had given him. She told him everything that was going and gave him strict instructions that he wasn’t to do anything till the guy was brought to the interrogation center. He and Tony get out and walk up to the door and is meet by his little sister.

Sasha saw her brother pull up in one of the Suv’s their father used for his team. She also notices that her cousin Tony came along with him as well. She opens the door.

“Hey guys, am I glad you are here.” Sasha was happy her brother and cousin were here.

Tony looks at his cousin and a smile appears on his face. She was dress in her skin-tight outfit that showed off her curves. He could tell she had her specialized gear on her as well.

“Are you okay?” Tony wanted to make sure Sasha was okay first.

“I’m fine. Are you going to be okay big brother?” Sasha could tell her older brother was having a hard time keeping his anger under control.

“I’ll be okay. Where are the two t-girls you called mom about?” They had shut the door behind them.

“I moved them to the living room, but we have another problem. I found five children downstairs locked up in a jail cell. It looks like they were
using the children to produce sex movies and selling the films on the internet. I managed to trace the last ip address to a server in Czech
Republic.” Sasha couldn’t believe what she saw.

“We’ll load the children and the two t-girls in our Suv and take them to mom’s hospital. You know where you need to take the guy who authorized the rape of our sister.” Janus wanted to kill the guy, but he knew he can’t right now.

“Can you guys watch everyone here, so I can run and get the corvette?” Sasha parked the Corvette a way away to hide it.

“Go ahead Sasha, we got this place.” Tony had peeked in the living room to see the two girls Sasha had found.

Sasha goes and returns with the Corvette. She helps the guys load up the SUV with the children and the two teenage girls. As for the body guards, she leaves them tied up and the two prostitutes. She just takes the money she found and gives it to them.

Interrogation room:
Greg Hallaway started to slowly come around and found himself hanging by his arms in a warehouse style room. One wall looked to be nothing but a mirror. Hanging near him was Adam Ludlum and he didn’t look to good. There wasn’t any one else in the room other then those two people. He looks around to see where he was.

He didn’t recognize where he was. As he is just hanging there, he hears a door open and a woman dress in an old fashion stage magician clothes, but made for a woman.

“Mr. Hallaway, you have been a very, very bad boy.”

Those were the last words Sasha heard as she walks out of the interrogation center. She didn’t need to be around for this interrogation. She drives over to the hospital to visit her sister.

She waves hello to the two guards that has been assigned to protect her sister. She sneaks in quietly and notices her sister was asleep.

Janus was sitting nearby and was holding her hand. There were flowers and balloons in there from everyone that knew Janius and from her children and band as well.

“How is she doing Janus?” Sasha brushes some of her sister’s hair out of her eyes.

“She's doing better. Mom, did a good job fixing Janius. I wish you had let me kill the guy who order those men to rape Janius.” He looks at his little sister.

“Mom, told me nothing was to happen to him. As much as I wouldn’t want to piss you off, I fear mom more.” Sasha knew her mother could wipe the floor with them.

Janus looks towards Sasha “If mom is going to handle this, then you can bet, that he is going to end up being punished.”

“She was attack because of me. You know my daughter Rose? Well, it seemed he was the buyer that wanted her.” Sasha felt guilty about what happened to her sister.

Janus looks at his little sister “we all know how dangerous it is for you and the rest of us in the family. Don’t go blaming yourself for what happened to Janius. You didn’t do anything wrong. He made a mistake attacking a member of this family, and now he is going to pay the price for it.”

“If you say so.” Sasha just looks at her sister.

Sasha stays for awhile and head home afterwards to face her wife and the children.

Before heading home, Sasha goes and does some Christmas shopping for the girls. She also pick-ups gifts for the band members and their children, plus gifts for her parents, siblings and Susan’s (aka: Siren) parents. As she is shopping she thinks about the guy who ordered the rape of her sister. All because he wanted to get back at her. She hopes her mother does the same thing to him, so he can experience what it is like to be raped.

She pays the extra money to have the gifts wrapped. She has a trusted moving company her aunt owns come by and pick the gifts up and delivered them to her place. She was informed by the cleaning company that the place has been straightened up and cleaned. They went ahead and refilled her emergency medical kit.

She stops and watches a young mother and her babies. Even though she has two beautiful girls. she wonders what it is like to carry a child inside of you. To feel the child, grow and develop and finally give birth. She once asked her mother what it was like, and she suggested she tries to take her bottom lip and pull it over her head.

She knew they had a Christmas performance to do next week. Susan and their manager handled most of the arrangements already for the set-up. She hopes Gracie and Rose will be up to performing on stage for the Christmas concert. The music they were playing was Christmas music they wrote a few years ago and updated it some.

Once the gifts are safely stowed away at her apartment. She heads towards Susan’s mansion to be with her and the girls. It’s late by the time she gets in. She checks on the girls and tuck them in, before laying down in bed and snuggling up against Susan.

After Winter Wonderland:
Susan and she carry their tired girls in and put them to bed. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve and they were going to spend the evening with Susan’s parents first. The band members were going to drop by in the afternoon. They were going to give those that weren’t leaving or going somewhere their gifts.

Dusk and Moon were going to spend Christmas with her parents. Dusk told her that Moon was going to be spoiled rotten like he was when she first adopted him. Dusk’s parents loved Moon and enjoyed spending time with their grandson.

Sasha puts Gracie to bed and put her guitar case on the other side of her bed. She places a kiss on her forehead and tuck her favorite teddy bear next to her.

“Sweet dreams, my little angel.” Sasha places one more kiss on her forehead and head towards Roses bedroom.

When she walks in, she notices all the decorations and posters Rose put up. There were posters in the frame from when her mother performed and some with her and her mother. There were some of the band posters from when they first started off. She noticed that Rose had pictures of her birth family. She did a good job in making the room her own.

Sasha walks over and places a kiss on her forehead as well. She hopes the girls enjoyed themselves. She picks up Rose’s favorite plushy and put it back on the self.

Siren and Sasha head into their bedroom and take a shower together. While they are in the shower together, Siren becomes a little aggressive and push Sasha up against the wall of the shower. She kisses her and let her hands roam over her body. Sasha lets out a moan as Siren hits all her sensitive spots and make her legs turn to jelly.

Siren was taking and reminding her wife who she belonged to. She knew Sasha would never cheat on her. All the years they have been together, Sasha has never once cheated on her or taken any interest in another woman, but her. She misses having Sasha’s warm body next to hers. They finally make it out of the shower and to the bed. They continue for a while exploring and making love, till early morning and finally falling asleep.

The last words Sasha hears from Siren is “I love you!”

Christmas Eve Afternoon & Evening:
All the band members and their children show up at Susan’s mansion. Rose and Gracie help pass out all the gifts to everyone. They were wearing elf costumes and had elf ears to match. They had a little party for the band and after everyone said their goodbyes. The girls hurried upstairs to change into their Christmas dresses to go and see their grandparents.

Sasha glances back to look at the girls as they drove to Susan’s parents house. She could tell Gracie and Rose were excited to go and see their grandparents. Rose starts singing in time with the Christmas tunes being played on the radio. Gracie joins in, followed by Susan and finally Sasha.

Sasha and Susan watch as the girls are spoiled by their grandparents. Sasha knew the back of the SUV they came in was going to be full of the girl’s gifts. Susan’s mother and father had a staff to cook Christmas Eve dinner. The lay out was incredible and had everything they liked. It was different at Sasha’s parents house. Her mother and father loved cooking and did all of it themselves. They stay till almost mid-night, before leaving. The girls were still excited by the time they got home and were having a hard time relaxing, so they could go to bed. Susan sings them a lullaby that puts them asleep.

Sasha goes out to the moving van she requested to bring over while they were gone. Susan and she unloads all the gifts Sasha had bought and had wrapped. She made sure Susan did touch any of her gifts. Sasha knew she couldn’t resist peeking to see what was inside. By the time they get done putting the gifts out for the girls. It was three in the morning.

Sasha stands back with her arms wrapped around Susan’s waist “which of the girls do you think will be up first?”

“Gracie, will. This is her first real Christmas. Did you get everything she wanted, that I missed?” Susan looks at Sasha.

“Yep, I got everything on the list you sent me and then some. I did the same for Rose as well.” Sasha couldn’t wait to see their faces.

“Let’s go and get some sleep, before they wake-up.” Susan escorts Sasha up to their bedroom and slip on their Christmas nightgowns.
She gives Susan a kiss, just before she falls asleep.

“Merry Christmas, sweetie.”

“You too, sweetie.” Susan returns the kiss.

Christmas Day Morning:
Gracie wakes up first and peeks into her mother’s room. She finds them curled up next to each other, sound asleep. She wonders if it will be okay to go downstairs to the living room where the gifts were.

“Come on Gracie, there are gifts downstairs.” Rose grabs Gracie by the arm and drag Gracie downstairs to the Christmas gifts.

Both Rose and Gracie couldn’t believe all the gifts around the Christmas tree. Rose looks around and notice there were stacks already separated for each of them. Gracie looks at them and then at her sister.

“Do you think our mother’s will mind?” Gracie didn’t want to get in trouble.

Rose just looks at Gracie “are mothers won’t mind us opening our gifts.”

Rose grabs the gifts she got for Gracie and hands them to her.

“Merry Christmas Gracie.”

Gracie grabs the presents she got for Rose and hands them to her as well.

“Merry Christmas big sister.”

Just as they exchange gifts, both mothers take pictures of the girls.

“You did think we wouldn’t hear you two, did you?” Sasha walks over and hugs each girl. She’s followed by Susan.

They sit back and watch as the girls open their Christmas gifts. They each take turns taking pictures of the girls as they open their gifts. Rose and Gracie were happy as they got the things they had asked for, for Christmas. Rose hands her mother’s their Christmas gifts. Gracie and Rose went shopping with their grandparents and got their mother’s gifts.

“Thank you, girls.” Sasha opens the one form Gracie first and notices it was a homemade gift. It was a homemade key chain with pictures of Gracie and Rose.

Gracie stood nearby, and was nervous that her mother wouldn’t love it. Her Grandfather helped her make it. She watches her mother’s
reaction.

Sasha pulls her forward and gives her a big hug.

“I love it sweetie.” She places a kiss on her cheek and hug her.

Rose hands her gift to her mothers and it was another home-made gift. Sasha could already tell who inspired the girls. It had her mother’s touch to it. Susan and Sasha hug the girls and hold them. They had always wanted children, but because Sasha never preserved any of her semen. They had thought about asking one of Sasha’s brothers, but Susan had to have surgery on her uterus. So, she couldn’t carry children. Now, they had two wonderful daughters. Which was the best Christmas gift of all.

Christmas Day (Evening):
At 5:00pm. They head towards Sasha’s mother house to have Christmas dinner with her family. The girls get to meet the rest of Sasha’s siblings. Their other Aunts and Uncles have been busy and haven’t had a chance to meet their nieces. They have dinner and after dinner everyone gathers in the den as Janet and Leland hand out the gifts to the children and grandchildren.

Sasha stands back and just watch her family and children. She remembers her first Christmas when she was adopted by Janet and Leland and meeting the family. She had been a little over whelm, but the twins made her feel at home. All her older sisters and brothers did.

“What are you thinking about sweetheart?” Janet wraps her arm around Sasha’s shoulders.

“Just my first Christmas as a girl and how you and everyone was accepted of me.” Sasha watch her father entertain Rose and Gracie.

She could tell he was proud and loved his granddaughters. Janet hugs her and place a kiss on her cheek.

“I am very proud of the woman you have become sweetie. I also know your going to make a wonderful mother as well.”

“Thanks mom.” Sasha hugs her mother and the two of them head back into the living room to spend time with the family.

“Come on little sister. You can do better then that.” Janus twirls the baton he had in his hand as he watched Sasha.

He knew his little sister had two fractured ribs from her run-in with Adam Ludlum. Their mother had rewrapped her bandages after all the grandchildren and family went to bed. The security personnel that had gone to protect Sasha and her replacement crew had done an excellent job of patching her up.

“You try fighting with two cracked ribs.” Sasha attacks him with her batons, trying to get pass his defense.

They had agreed to practice without her using any of her stage magician tricks. Not that it would matter to her older brother. He knew how to counter all her moves any way. He was a special operative just like she was. They both had the same teachers, their mother and father. For the next twenty minutes, both matched each other’s moves. That is, until Sasha tricked her brother and pinned him to the floor.

“Uncle!” Janus was laying face first against the mats.

His sister had his right arm in an arm bar hold and her foot pressing against his shoulder joint. He could feel his arm ready to pop out of the joint. He feels his sister let go. He rolls over onto his back and looks up at Sasha as she extended her hand down to him.

“Where did you learn that move?” As he grabs her petite hand and is pulled up off the mats.

“It’s one Jerry taught me a year ago. When he did my evaluation.” Sasha helps her brother up off the mat.

“Jerry? You mean our cousin Jerry? He taught you that move?” Janus rolls his shoulder to get the soreness out of his joint.

“Yep, our cousin Jerry. Aunt Janet’s oldest son. He was training a new batch of recruits and asked if I wouldn’t mind helping him demonstrate a move. He used that same move on me and afterwards, while the recruits were practicing it. He taught it to me.” Sasha walks over to the wall and pick-up her towel and his towel. She tosses it to him.

Janus catches the towel as it came towards him.

“Thanks.” He wipes the sweat off his face and neck.

“Any time.” Sasha rolls her neck to relieve some soreness she was feeling.

Her rib cage was bothering her, even with the tight wrapping her mother did to her. She picks-up her water bottle and takes a sip from it. She watches her brother as he takes a sip from his water bottle.

“So, what do you think about our newest little brother?” Sasha wonder what her older brother thought.

“I think he’s got a rough road ahead of him, just like you did when you were younger. I know mom has already started him on testosterone supplements and has him on a strict diet and workout routine. He has already asked mom to remove his breast and close-up his vagina and remove his ovaries.” Janus takes a sip from his water bottle.

“Has mom agreed to do it?” Sasha couldn’t remember if Miles had his chest wrapped or not.

“She said, she’ll do the surgery. Once his counselor gives her the okay. He still must deal with the rapes he suffered through under the sex traffickers. Until then, he should watch how me or dad act, so he can pass effectively.” He takes another sip of his water.

Sasha helps her brother clean-up the gym before heading upstairs to the kitchen to grab something to munch on.

When they walked into the kitchen, they see their mother and all the grandchildren baking cookies.

Gracie looks up when she spots her mother and Uncle walk in “we’re making cookies mom.”

A smile appears on Sasha’s face as she walks over to her youngest.

“I can see that.” She had a smile on her face as she grabs a chocolate chip cookie off the plate.

“Mmmm, you can taste the love in them.” Sasha takes another bite of the cookie.

“You’re right sis. These cookies are filled with love.” He ruffles Gracie’s hair as he bites into his cookie.

Janet just looks at her two children as she helps Rose with a batch of sugar cookies to put in the oven. She remembers doing this with them when they were younger. She remembered Sasha nearly burning her hand when she went to grab the cookie sheet out of the oven. At the time, they didn’t know she could manipulate fire with her thoughts.

Rose loved baking with her grandmother. She never knew her real grandmother. Now she had a little sister, Uncles, Aunts and grandparents.
She feels her mother wrap her arm around her.

Sasha had notice Rose thinking about something “a penny for your thoughts, pumpkin.”

Rose just smiles at her mother “I’m okay mom. I was just thinking about my life right now. I never had this before.” She hugs her mother.

Sasha returns her hug. She holds her tight and places a kiss on her forehead. She feels Gracie hug Rose as well.

Janus takes his cellphone out and snaps a picture of his little sister and his two nieces just hugging each other.

After a few seconds, they all release and help their grandmother with the cookie tray in the oven. Sasha grabs a fresh baked sugar cookie off the tray. The heat from the cookie doesn’t bother her, because of her ability.

“I will never get use to that.” Janus just shakes his head as he watches Sasha grabs a hot cookie from the cookie tray.

Sasha just smile “hey, what can I say. When your hot, your hot.”

Sasha heads up to her bedroom to take a shower and change out of her leotard. Susan joins her in the shower.

“I was wondering when you were going to come upstairs and take a shower.” As she kisses Sasha.

Susan has missed not having her wife around these past few weeks. She knew how busy Sasha got sometimes. Between the band, her stage magician performances and her other activities that seemed to pop-up at the wrong time.

“I’m sorry sweetheart. I don’t mean to be away all the time.” Sasha returns the kiss and just holds Susan against her body.

They have been a couple for the past ten years. They had started dating each other when they were in High school. The two of them had attended different private schools, and met during a tennis match. She had loved the way Susan looked in her school tennis outfit. How the outfit had hugged her curves and showed off her beautiful legs.

Then when Sasha started looking for people to start a band, Susan had shown up for an audition. Once she heard her sing, she was hooked on her. She chased after Susan and after several months of asking Susan out. She finally relented and went out with her. After that first date, they were a couple.

Sure, they had their arguments and bad moments, but they always came back to each other. They did try dating other girls, but found that they were meant for each other. Once the Supreme court said that same sex couples could get married. Their parents threw them a big wedding.
The two of them just held each other as they let the water cascade down their bodies. Susan was bigger in the chest department, then Sasha was. Sure, Sasha had some work done to her breast to be a little bit bigger, but Susan was naturally bigger.

They stay in the shower for a while. Afterwards, they get out and head back into their bedroom to make love to each other. Sasha had missed Susan’s touches and kisses on her body. She couldn’t believe how many times Susan brought her to orgasm or how many times she brought Susan.

As they laid there, nude on the bed resting. Gracie comes walking in.

“Ooopp’ss sorry mom’s.” Gracie was about to turn around to leave.

“It’s okay sweetie. Come mere.” Susan holds her hands out to Gracie.

Gracie walks over and takes Susan’s hand.

Susan pulls Gracie onto the bed between her and Sasha “you should never be ashamed to see me or mommy Sasha nude. Now what was it you were going to say to us?”

Gracie looks at Susan and then at Sasha. She didn’t know how she felt seeing her mothers naked, but she knew they loved her. She spots some scars on Sasha’s body. She reaches out and touches one.

“Where did you get this one, mommy?” Gracie looks up at Sasha.

“I got that one, when I took down my very first bad guy. He managed to stab me, before I could stop him.” Sasha remembered that one, because it was her first time working by herself.

“Did it hurt?”

“Yes, but what hurt more. Was coming home to mommy Susan and explaining what happened.” Sasha smiled as she looked at Susan.

Susan had been so worried that Sasha had seriously hurt herself. Once she managed to reassure Susan that the wound wasn’t serious.
Susan, tore into her for being so careless.

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

“Come in.”

Rose comes in and spots her mother’s laying in bed naked with Gracie laying between them.

“Umm, mom’s. Sorry for interrupting you, but did Gracie ask you if we could go with grandma to the store?” Rose tries not to stare at her parents.

“No, she didn’t, Rose.” Sasha smirked because she could tell Rose was trying not to stare at them.

“Rose, it’s okay to look at us. We have nothing that you don’t have.” Sasha wanted her daughters not to be ashamed of the human body.

“I know mom, it’s just, well unusual to see your parents naked.” Rose looks at them.

“As for you request to go to the store with grandma. You never need our permission to go any where with your grandparents. Just let us know you went with them.” Sasha gets up and hugs her daughter.

Gracie gets up out of bed and follow her mother.

“Now, go before your grandparents come looking for you two.” Sasha kisses Gracie’s cheek.

She watches as both girls leave the bedroom. She turns around and find Susan standing behind her.

“I think we better have a talk with the girls.” She kisses Sasha.

Sasha returns the kiss “we could always take them to a nudist colony for a day.”

Sasha remembers when the whole band went one summer. The guys in the band didn’t mind it so much. It was Julia (aka: Dusk) and Susan that were nervous about walking around nude all day. Sasha had played a trick on Gregory (aka: Mystic) by writing on his back. So, when he tanned you could see it. It hadn’t bother Sasha walking around nude all day.

“I’ll think about. I don’t think our girls are ready for that yet.” Susan just smile as she turns around and grabs some clothes for her and Sasha to wear.

“Come on girls, you’re going to be late for school if we don’t leave now.” Sasha told Susan she would drive the girls to school.

She was taking her 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport RHD. She’s had this Jeep since she first got her driver license. It was her sweet sixteen birthday gifts from her mom and dad. She had driven it throughout her high school years and when they first formed the band. She used to go to her performances when she first started her stage magician career.

“We’re coming mom.” Gracie races down the stairs with her backpack slung over her shoulder.

Rose was right behind her with her backpack as well. Both girls were dressed in their school uniforms. Susan had enrolled Rose and Gracie in the same private school. The rest of the band had enrolled their adopted children in the same school.

“I call shotgun.” Gracie heads towards the passenger side of the jeep and discovered it had the steering wheel on that side.

Sasha just smiles as she spots the confused look on Gracie’s face.

“Other side squirt.” Sasha opens the door and climbs in.

Rose just smirks when she climbs in behind her mother. Gracie climbs in on the left-hand side of the Jeep.

“Mom, why is the steering wheel over on the right-hand side of the Jeep?” As she fastens her seat belt.

“Because this was the only model your grandmother and grandfather could find that matched what I wanted for my sixteenth birthday.” Sasha had been surprised as well, when they gave her the keys to the Jeep.

It had taken her a while to get use to the steering being on the right-hand side of the Jeep. When they went to England, the car blended in with the steering being on the right-hand side. She starts the Jeep and link her IPhone with the radio and drive the girls to school. She sings along with a few songs. Rose and Gracie join in with her as they headed to school.

When they pull up to be dropped off, Sasha spots the rest of the band member children waiting for Rose and Gracie. She notices
Alexander/Alex (a.k.a. Moon) was taking after his mother. Dusk was deeply into the Gothic culture. He had the gothic look about him, even in his school uniform. Mystic’s twin daughters, wore pentagrams and stars in their ears.

“Looks like your friends are waiting for you.” Sasha knew the children of the band members were growing close to one another.

She did spot another teenager that looked like he had her hair style when on stage.

“Rose, who’s that kid over there. The one standing in a group with his hands-on fire?” Sasha was curious.

“That’s Ethan, he’s been bugging me about the tricks you do on stage. He’s wants to be just like you, Mom.” Rose liked Ethan.

He was friendly and funny, but he was hooked on acting like her mother’s name sake on stage. He wanted Rose to tell him all her mother’s
secrets or see if she could get some of her mother’s tricked items. She didn’t know where her mother stored her gear or anything about her stage magic tricks.

“Hhhmmm.” Sasha was formulating a plan.

“Well, you girls have a nice day and be nice to your teachers.” Sasha gives Gracie a kiss on her cheek and one on Rose’s cheek when she leans between the seats.

“We will mom.” Gracie hops out with her big sister following behind her.

Sasha watches as they join their friends. She puts the Jeep in gear and head back towards her apartment. She had a clean-up crew go by and clean it up after what happened to her sister.

The men that raped her sister were finding out what it was like to be raped repeatedly. Her mother had changed them to women and placed them among some hard-core men. She knew it was wrong to do, but they raped her sister repeatedly. So, they desired what they were getting. As for Adam and Greg Hallaway they were finding out what it meant to be someone else’s bitch. They had their manhood removed and placed in another prison that held the worst of the worst. They were put in general population, so they could meet their friends.

Her mom and Dad had gotten a lot of information out of them. Before she put them away permanently. She knew her mother had been approached by some men from Langley about Mr. Adam and she told them to go to hell. Some Senators and Congress men tried to put pressure on her mother and her aunt. Those same people found out what happens to people who were skilled enough to kill them at any time.

Her thoughts go back to Ethan and what Rose said, “call Cassandra Cross.”

Cassandra Cross:
Cassandra was enjoying being a newly married woman. Her and Jerry had gotten married by the Justice of The Peace a week after Sasha had left. They had the reception at the bar and Cassandra was loving it. She may not be able to see anything, but she had enjoyed the celebration that had gone on around her.

She spent most of her time with her new husband at the bar, since he owned it. She stayed at the bar most of the time anyway, before she got married. She was happy that everything that took place with Adam Ludlum had worked out in the end. As she is sitting at her normal table, her cellphone starts ringing.

A smile appears on her face as she recognizes who it was from the ring tone.

“Hello Sasha. What can I do for you?” She wonders what Sasha wanted.

“Hi Cassandra, you probably already know what I’m going to ask you, but I’ll ask any way. Can you tell me if any of my girls will be following in my footsteps to perform stage tricks?” Sasha knew Cassandra could see the future.

Cassandra just smile “Rose, will go on to be a famous singer. She will meet a nice police officer and have three children. Only one of your grandchildren will want to follow in your footsteps. Gracie will go to college and meet her future husband. He will be an Air Force Officer and have five children from him. She will also, work as a civilian contractor at the same base her husband will be stationed at. Why did you want to know about your children’s future?”

“Well, there’s this boy at the girl’s school that I am thinking about taking on as an apprentice. I didn’t want to cause a problem between him and my girls.” Sasha wanted to continue her tricks like she did with her mother.

“Well, there’s two things about Ethan. She would make a great apprentice to continue your stage magic. However, if you want her to continue the special type of work you do. You’re going to have to push her hard. You might have to send her across the water to be trained by a person over there by a person that has the initials G.” Cassandra wonders if Sasha caught what she was telling her.

Sasha’s eye brow goes up when she hears she, instead of he about Ethan.

“Are you saying Ethan is transgender?”

“Actually, I’m saying that Ethan is a crossdresser. He doesn’t want to be a girl, but he likes to dress like a girl. She’ll make a great assistant to your shows.” Cassandra figures that she’ll let Sasha discover things about Ethan on her own.

“Okay, that was something I wasn’t expecting. Hey, have you and Jerry set a wedding date yet?” Sasha wanted to send Cassandra a wedding gift.

“We got married a week after you left Sasha. You shouldn’t send me anything. You gave me the best gift I could ask for. Your friendship is enough for me.” Cassandra meant it. Being friends with Sasha was enough for her.

“Dang! I was hoping to see you walk down the aisle.” Sasha would had liked to see that.

“I got married by the Justice of the Peace. Jerry and I talked about it and decided to go that route. However, I did wear a wedding dress and Jerry wore his kilt.” Cassandra did have several pictures taken.

One was hanging in the bar and the other was hanging in their house. Jerry was selling his place and moving in with her. They had arranged the furniture, so she didn’t trip herself.

“We’ll expect a gift from me and my wife, Cassandra.” Sasha as going to send her a wedding gift.

“Thank you. Is there anything else I can do for you?”

“No, not really. Thank you for the information. Hey, which of my girls will be a mother first?” Sasha, was curious.

“Gracie and don’t try to stop it. If you do, you’ll cause problems with her future and your relationship with her.” Cassandra needed to give
Sasha that warning.

“I won’t and thanks.”

“You’re welcome and until we speak again.” Cassandra disconnects.

Sasha heads towards her apartment.

Sasha dives into the deep end of the pool and swim the whole entire length underwater. She pops up behind Gracie from underwater and tickle her.

“Gotcha, kiddo.” Sasha tickles her youngest daughter as she stands next to her.

Gracie just giggles as her mother tickles her. She was floating around on a large inner tube in the swallow end of the pool. She wasn’t a very good swimmer and only went into the deep end if one of her mothers were with her in the pool.

“I give, I give.” Gracie was about to pee her swimsuit.

Her grandmother had done a good job healing her. The damage done by the council member when he raped her was extensive. He tore her up inside and caused her to have extensive surgery to fix the damage. Her grandmother called a friend of hers that specialized in women’s reproductive problems to fix the damage.

Sasha stops tickling her. She enjoyed watching her little girl giggle. It had taken Gracie time to trust people and to feel comfortable around them and to wear the swimsuit she had on. It was a two piece that was normal for any ten-year-old to wear. She holds Gracie’s inner tube and places a kiss on her cheek.

“Gotcha, mom!” Rose had sneaked up on Sasha from behind underwater and jumped up onto her back.

“Oomph!” Sasha feels Rose’s arms and legs go around her body.

Sasha let’s go of Gracie’s inner tube to hold Rose’s legs as she held on to her. Her, Susan, and Rose were wearing thong bikinis that were like each other’s. The one Rose was wearing matched her eyes. Hers was fiery red and the one Susan had on was pure white.

All of them had gone and had a bikini waxing done. She was used to it by now. She had to wear some skimpy outfits on stage when she performed her illusions and magic tricks. So, she had to have it done ever so often. Susan had it done every so often as well, but this was Rose’s first time.

They had taken Rose to the same person they used. She was a nice person and knew how to relax a newbie. They had held her hand as the person trimmed and waxed her for the first time. It had taken a little convincing to get Rose to wear her first thong swimsuit.

Since, they were in the backyard and around the pool. Rose didn’t mind wearing it. However, she vowed not to wear one on the beach or in public. She said she would only wear it in their backyard around their pool.

Rose holds onto her mother’s back and lock her legs around her waist. She knew her mother could escape her hold, but she was enjoying the time her mother was here with her and Gracie. It wasn’t often that all them were together as a family. She knew her mother did important work, but she wanted to spend more time with the woman that saved her, and she called mom.

They play for awhile in the pool. After a few hours of goofing off, Sasha gets out to cook lunch on the grill. Susan was helping her as their girls laid on their lounges tanning.

While the two of them are standing close to the grill “you know, the girls are happy that you are home spending time with them.” Susan knew how much the girls miss having Sasha around.

“I know, and I’ll try to be around more. I spoke to Cassandra and found out that she and Jerry got married at the Justice of the Peace office.
So, I sent them a wedding gift from the two of us.” Sasha liked Cassandra. She was a unique person.

“Isn’t she the one that can see the future?” Susan looks towards her wife.

“Yep, and I already know how our girls are going to turn out. Let’s just say, we’re going to have a lot of grandchildren.” Sasha was happy to have grandchildren.

“What else did Cassandra tell you and why did you call and ask her about our girls?” Susan was curious why her wife called and asked about their girls.

“One of Rose’s schoolmates wants to learn my tricks and do what I do. That’s why I called her to find out if maybe one of our girls want to follow in my footsteps. She said they didn’t. she did say one of our grandchildren will, but not our girls.” Sasha applies some more barbeque to the chicken she was grilling.

“So, your thinking about taking on an apprentice?”

“Yep, I also found out that the person who is interested in learning my tricks. They like to wear girl clothes but doesn’t want to be a girl.”

“That’s not to bad. So, are you going to approach this person and ask them to join you?” Susan starts removing the food off the grill.

“I’m seriously thinking about it. I think it might be a good idea to continue what my mother taught me. I would hate to see the act disappear.” Sasha really didn’t want the act to be forgotten.

“Are you going to have your apprentice follow you in your other line of work?” Susan wouldn’t mind. That way Sasha would have someone watching her back.

“I’m not sure. She said I’ll have to make my apprentice work harder if I do or send them overseas to a person who has the initial of G.” Sasha still didn’t know who this person was.

“Well, why don’t you do this. Take this person on as an apprentice and see how they take to your training and how serious they are. If they are serious and pass the magician guild test, then start training them to work with you.” Susan knew how hard the magician test was.

Sasha had been required to test several applicants and they never pass her test. In this case, Sasha wouldn’t be allowed to test her apprentice. Another well-known stage magician or her mother would have to do it. Even though her mother didn’t perform any more, she was still a member of the magician's guild and was high up in their ranks.

“If you decide to go down this path. You will need to inform your mother. She has final say over who you teach her unique tricks too.” Susan knew Sasha’s mother liked to keep the tricks she designed in the family. Sasha had some of her own that she designed and perfected.

“I will. Now, let’s feed our two young children before they decide to eat us.” Sasha closes the grill, while Susan walks over towards the patio table and set the food down on it.

“Alright girls, its lunch time.” Susan looks towards both girls.

Gracie and Rose get up and walk over to the patio table. Gracie sits next to Sasha and Rose sits next to Susan. Everyone starts making their hamburgers and chicken sandwiches the way they like from the plate of condiments.

Sasha strokes Gracie’s hair as she slept snuggled against her. Last night both girls had slept with her and Susan. Rose was snuggled up against Susan. Both their long hairs covered their bodies were intermingled together. Susan’s blonde hair and Rose’s platinum color hair.

Gracie didn’t move as Sasha stroke her hair. She holds Gracie against her body and just watches as her wife and Rose slept. They had spent all day by the pool yesterday and when night fell. They came inside and watched movies.

When it was the girl’s bedtime. They wanted to sleep with her and Susan. So, Sasha and Susan gave into them as they all slept together. Gracie had stayed snuggled by her all night. Sasha could feel her tremble and whimper several times during the night. She knew Gracie still had bad dreams from her ordeal. So, she holds her against her body. Once she does that, Gracie stops trembling and whimpering.

By 9:00 A.M. everyone started waking up. They go downstairs to the kitchen and as a family fix breakfast. Sasha teaches Rose and Gracie how to make omelets. She knew Susan could cook, but she didn’t like making omelets. That was Sasha’s specialty. Her father was the cook in their family. Her mother could cook, but her father could be a gourmet chef for a high end restaurant if he wanted too.

Once breakfast was done and cleaned up. They head back upstairs and change into their exercise clothes. They go for a morning jog. Sasha and Susan let the girls set the pace. They wave to their neighbors as they jog throughout the neighborhood. Sasha sets a short distance for Gracie. She wasn't a long distance runner like her older sister or like her and Susan. When they get back to the house, they take a family shower together.

When their showers are over, they get dress and go to the local shopping mall. This way, the girls could do some shopping. Gracie doesn’t let go of Sasha’s hand as they walk around the mall and visit a few stores. They visit a few clothing stores and the girls pick out several new outfits. Sasha finds a nice dress, matching shoes and purse that goes together nicely for herself.

She notices that Susan finds a nice figure-hugging dress as well. It went well with the dress she had picked out. She finds two more dresses in Rose and Gracie's size that went with hers and Susan's.

They go to their favorite restaurant for lunch. It was a nice upscale restaurant that has been around since they were in High School. Sasha remembers the first time she came to the restaurant. All her family had been with her and they were told to be on their best behavior. They walk in and wait for their hostess to seat them to a table. They are shown a table and given menus. Sasha already knew what she wanted and pretty much knew what Susan was going to get. Sasha helps Gracie decide what she wanted. Rose was going to be adventurist and order something she has never had.

They stay at the restaurant for almost an hour and a half. Afterwards, they leave and head over to see Sasha’s sister Janius. She could hear all the locks on the door and it opens. Janius looked better after the rape she experienced. Rose and Gracie give her hugs and just hold her.

Janius holds onto her nieces and felt loved by them. Her counselor has been working hard to help her overcome what happened to her. She felt her sister hug her and Susan as well. They stand like that for a while.

Janius had been feeling a little down till her sister and nieces showed up. After a while everyone let’s go to Janius and head into the living room. The girls sit next to their aunt and stay close to her. Sasha could tell someone else has been staying with her older sister.

“Who’s the mysterious guest?” Sasha looks towards her sister.

Janius blushes “a friend of mine. He heard what happened and has been staying with me. He’s a police officer.”

Sasha just smiles and was happy someone was staying with her sister. So, like any nosy sister would do.

“How long have the two of you been seeing each other?”

“For about a year now. We met in court while I defended a person he had arrested. He had done everything right, but the department he worked at. They screwed up, so the client won. After that, we started seeing each either for coffee or lunch. The night I was raped, he was in a gunfight. He was worried when I didn’t return his call. He found out from Janus what happened and has been staying with me since I left the hospital. He’s at work right now.” Janius puts her arms around Gracie and Rose and hugs them.

“Well, I am glad you found someone. So, is he going to be the one?” Sasha had spotted the engagement ring on her sister’s hand.

Janius blushes again. She had wanted to wait till the whole family was gather before she told anyone she had gotten engaged. William had proposed to her last night after dinner.

“Don’t tell mom or dad. You all are the first to know he proposed to me.” Janius looks at her sister and Susan.

She knew the girls wouldn’t spoil her announcement.

“I promise not to say anything to mom or dad.” Sasha looks towards Susan.

“Hey, I’m not going to spoil Janius announcement. That’s your job as her little sister.” A Cheshire grin appears on her face.

Janius looks over towards her sister.

“I said I promise. I won’t tell mom or dad.” Sasha knew better than to spoil her sister’s announcement.

They stay for awhile visiting. After about three hours of visiting, they head back home, and the girls help make dinner. While Susan and the girls were fixing dinner. Sasha goes into her home office and put together an invitation puzzle for Ethan Noel. If he can figure out the puzzle, he’ll get the message on the day and hour she wants to meet him. She’ll mail it tomorrow morning.

“Mom, dinner.” Gracie comes walking into her mother’s office.

“Coming sweetie.” Sasha turns around and follows her daughter out of the office.
