Nora looks at herself in the mirror and couldn’t believe it was the first day of school. Melody and Ginger were prepared and had their school schedules.

“Come on girls. We got to leave for school.” Nora grabs her purse and carry tote with everything she needed for school.

“Coming mom.” Melody and Ginger come rushing out of their shared bedroom.

Both girls had on their new school clothes. Melody was wearing a brand-new pair of blue jeans that hugged her body, new matching blouse, and brand-new sneakers. Ginger had on a skirt and a new blouse for the first day. The heels she had on were appropriate for school.

Nora checks the girls over to make sure they weren’t breaking any school rules. She knew the rules have gotten tighter at the school this year.
What was allowed last year, wasn’t allowed this year.

“You girls remember when you’re in school, your cellphones are to be turned off or on vibrate. I don’t want to get any reports that your phone has been taken away.” Nora was told the students could have their phones, but they had to be either off or on vibrate.

She has been given permission to take them away if she catches a student using one during class. The only way they could get them back, was for the parent to come up to the school to collect it. She still had her jammer if her students didn’t obey the rules.

“Alright, let’s go.” Nora starts heading out to her Mustang.

The girls follow behind Nora and get in. Ginger got to ride in the passenger seat, while melody took the back seat.

“Ginger, go ahead and take some money out of my purse for yours and Melody’s lunch and snack.” Nora glances towards Ginger.

“Okay, mom.” Ginger reaches behind the driver seat and picks up her mothers’ purse.

She pulls out two five-dollar bills. She hands one to Melody and puts the other one in her purse. Ginger puts her mother’s purse back where it was.

Nora pulls into the teacher’s parking lot and parks her car. She gets out and grabs her bags and her purse. She looks at her girls “alright, you two behave today and go and catch-up with your friends.”

“We will mom.” Ginger and Melody run off to catch up with their friends.

Nora heads inside the school and checks in at the office to see what has been put in her mailbox. The normal material she gets once a month.

“Mrs. Midnight, its good to see you again. Did you have a nice summer?” Mr. Thompson had spotted the government teacher from last year, in the office.

“Yes, I had a very nice summer. How was yours?” Nora glances towards the clock on the wall.

“My family and I went camping and hiking in Colorado.” Mr. Thompson loved the time they spent camping and hiking.

“That’s good to hear. Are you ready to mold and educate the new students coming in?” Nora was ready for the challenge.

“I hope this year is better than last year was.” Last year was a bad year until Nora came along and started making changes.

“Oh, I think it will be. Well, I need to get to my class and start setting up for today’s lesson. See you at lunch.” Nora heads towards her
classroom on the second floor. It was the same classroom she had last year.

Nora grabs a cart and loads it up with school books from the supply room. She counts all the books a third time to make sure she has enough books to give to her students. She couldn’t wait to see her new students and her returning students that failed her course.

Outside:
Melody spotted her friends and headed over towards them. She hasn’t seen them since they went to Hawaii.

“A-April-l, J-Joseph-h.” as Melody walks over to them.

“Melody, how was your trip to Hawaii?” Joseph could see she had gotten some sun.

Her fair skin was a little darker, and she looked little more fit, then she did before she left. The necklace she had own, was made of seashells. She had own matching earrings as well.

“I-It was f-fun-n. I-I played with an L-Liger-r and went s-surfing-g.” Melody like learning how to surf from Tizzy and Krisha.

“What’s a Liger?” April was curious.

“I-It’s-s a c-cross-s between a Lion and a T-Tiger-r,” Melody remembered what Cheshire told her about them.

“What do they look like?” April wanted to see a picture of one.

“L-Like this-s.” Melody brings up a picture of Simba and Shur Khan for April to look at.

“Wow, they are big.” She plays the video and watches as Simba and Shur Khan played and ran.

“Who is the woman playing with Simba?” April was curious about her.

“T-That’s Tizzy-y. S-She’s a police officer-r. S-Simba-a is her k-kitty c-cat-t.” Melody liked Tizzy and hopes to visit her again.

“Who does Shur Khan belong too?” April wonders if Tizzy owned him as well.

“T-That’s-s my Aunt C-Cheshire’s-s kitty c-cat-t.” Melody liked Cheshire because she was nice to her and knew how she felt.

“You have relatives in Hawaii?” Joseph was surprised to hear that.

“I-I didn’t know, my f-foster-r mother-r had family t-there-e.” Melody was surprised Cheshire said to call her Aunt Cheshire.

“Hey, guys.” Carol waves to her friends.

Everyone looks towards the sound of the voice and notices a young girl with short brown hair, wearing a floral dress and dress shoes walking
over to them. She had a pink backpack over one shoulder and a small white purse hanging from her left shoulder.

Joseph couldn’t believe his friend Charlie had come to school dress as a girl. He knew Charlie was a transgender person and had introduced his girly side to him.

“Your parents let you come to school dressed as a girl?” Joseph was amazed.

“Yeah, my counselor said that I should start dressing full time and my parents were hesitat to let me. When we spoke to Principal Kramer, he said I could come dressed as a girl to school. I know if I have any problems, I can go to Mrs. Midnight. I have her for my homeroom teacher and for the government class tool.” Carol couldn’t believe she had Mrs. Midnight for class.

She heard that she was tough, but fair and would work with you if you were having a problem. She also had her for homeroom as well. Which means she could speak to her about any problems she was facing.

Ginger had found William and was hanging with him and their friends. She loved feeling his strong arm around her waist.
William gives her a kiss “so how was your trip to Hawaii?”

“Fun, I learned to surf and found out I had relatives in Hawaii.” Ginger missed Tizzy and her family.

“It also looked like you got a nice tan while you were there.” William noticed her skin was darker.

“Well, I did spend most of my time in my swimsuit and surfing.” Ginger loved surfing.

“Did someone say surfing?” Chuck heard Ginger talking about surfing.

“Yeah Chuck, I learned how to surf from a cousin I didn’t know I had.” Ginger didn’t know Cheshire would request them to call her auntie.

“Oh? Where did you learn to surf?” Chuck was curious.

“My cousin Tizzy taught me. She surfs and is a police officer in Hawaii.” Ginger liked Tizzy’s husband. He was a nice person.

“Wow, your mother is a retired DSS agent and now you have a cousin that is a police officer. What does your aunt do?” Chuck was wondering.

“She’s a professor that specializes in large cats,” Ginger remember Tizzy telling her that Cheshire was a zoologist that specialized in large cats.

“You mean she handles cats like lion and tigers?” Chuck loved big prey cats like lion and tigers.

“Yep, if you want to know about big game cats, my Aunt Cheshire wrote several books about them,” Ginger remembered seeing a few books she wrote on her bookshelf.

“Wow, I would love to meet her.” Chuck loved big cats.

“Well, you would need to fly to Hawaii to meet her.” Ginger didn’t think she came stateside much.

“You could always email her.” William figures Ginger could give Chuck her email address.

“True.” Chuck looks towards Ginger “do you think she would mind?”

“I can ask her, Chuck. Let me send a text to her and I’ll let you know by lunchtime.” Ginger pulls her cellphone out and sends a text to Cheshire.

The first bell rings letting them know they need to get to their first bell class..

“We better head to class.” Ginger and the rest of her friend’s start heading to their first bell classes.

Ginger and Melody sat at the dining room table working on their homework. It’s been a week since they have gone back to school. The teachers didn’t waste any time giving out homework. Ginger had a math test on Monday morning and Melody had a government test on the same day. She ended up getting her mother for government.

Melody was going out with her friends on Saturday. Ginger was spending the day with her boyfriend and his friends. Cheshire got back to her and gave Ginger permission to give her friend Chuck her email address.

Chuck couldn’t believe he was communicating with an expert on large cats. He has been thinking about doing volunteer work at the Memphis zoo. He had been surprised that Ginger’s aunt got back with her and was more then happy to communicate with him.

“Done.” Ginger closes her book and stretches her hands above her head.

“L-Lucky-y, I still have a few more pages to r-read-d.” Melody was reviewing the chapters her mother was going to test them on and her notes she took in class.

“If you got mom’s notes, you should pass. Mom, always includes what you need to know in the notes she put up on the board.” Ginger had her mother last year for Government.

Melody digs through her notes, till she finds the ones her mother had up on the board and start studying them. She knew she couldn’t ask her mother for help, because it would seem like cheating. However, she could ask her sister.

“G-Ginger-r, could you help me study p-please-e?” Melody hated the fact she still stuttered.

The blow to her head that her father gave her. Damage the part of her brain that controlled speech. Nora and Kelly have been helping her to over come her problem, but she’ll always have the stutter thanks to her father.

By nine o’clock, her and Ginger call its quit. Melody will go over the work one more time Sunday night.

“You look tired Melody. Why don’t you go and take a nice hot relaxing bath? Ginger can use our bathroom.” Kelly saw how tired Melody looked after studying with Ginger helping her.

“T-Thanks-s, m-mom-m.” Melody gives Kelly a hug, before heading into the bathroom and filling the tub with hot water.

Melody adds some bath beads she brought back from Hawaii to the water. The bathroom fills with a floral scent. She strips out of her clothes and lower herself down into the hot water. She was happy that she had two sisters and two mothers.

Ginger comes in from outside and heads towards her bedroom. She had gone out on the patio to talk with William in private. She knew Nora was in her home office working on school papers and entering grades. Her mother Kelly was in the laundry room, switching loads.

Ginger hears Melody’s music playing in the bathroom. A smile appears on her face, as she grabs her night clothes and head into her mother’s bathroom to soak for a while. She adds some of her mother’s bath balls and enjoy it. The bath balls turns the water a milky color as she soaks.

Kelly takes the laundry basket filled with the girl’s clothes into the living room and put in Night at the Museum 3 to watch as she folds the clothes. She didn’t mind doing the girls clothes. Hers and Nora’s clothes were in the washer. The business suits she and Nora wore to work were going to be dropped off at the cleaners tomorrow.

Nora comes walking out of her office. She finished the last paper and recorded the grade. She spots Kelly folding a pair of Melody’s panties.

“Don’t you think they are a little too small for you?” She had a smile on her face.

“I wear smaller ones.” Kelly puts Melody’s panties down.

“Or none at all.” Nora walks over and sits down next to Kelly.

“Only when I’m wearing a dress or skirt.” Kelly had a playful smile on her face when she looks at Nora.

“Hhhmm.” As she picks up a pair of panties from the basket and fold them.

“Those are Gingers.” Kelly saw what they were.

“How can you tell?” Nora puts the folded pair in Ginger’s pile.

“Ginger likes all the cutesy and lacey type of underwear. Melody likes the plain type of underwear. Also, her hips are bigger then Ginger’s.” Kelly knew because she normally bought clothes for the girls.

“I think I should spend more time with the girls and you.” Nora knew she kept busy with teaching.

She knew Ginger was the cutesy type of girl. Ginger liked things that were extremely girly, where Melody liked to blend in when she was at school and such. Both girls were extremely close, which Nora was thankful for.

She knew that Ginger loved having a younger sister and having Christine as her older sister. She spoke with Christine earlier today and she was doing better. Cheshire was working her, helping her adjust to be a woman now. She knew Cheshire was also reinforcing the training she gave Christine. She’ll be glad when her wayward daughter is back home with her and Kelly.

Her and Kelly finish folding the girls clothes up and put them in their bedrooms. Nora sets Ginger’s on her bed, while Kelly puts Melody’s on her bed.

“Do you think they are finished turning into raisins?” Kelly looks towards Nora.

“I think so.” Nora could hear Melody draining the tub.

Melody comes walking out of the bathroom and head towards her bedroom. All she wanted to do was crawl into bed. She slips her night gown on and slip under the blankets covering her bed.

Ginger comes walking out of her mother’s bedroom. She was done and wanted to crawl into bed. She spots her two mother’s and walks up to each one and hug them.

“Love you, mom’s.”

“We love you too sweetheart.” As Nora hugs her back.

Kelly hugs Ginger as well and places a kiss on her cheek. Afterwards she heads into hers and Melody’s bedroom and crawl under the blankets.

“Night sis.” Ginger turns her light out near her bed.

“Night, Ginger.” As Melody turns her light out.

Melody watches her sister as she got dress. She couldn’t believe Ginger was wearing a sexy garter belt under her dress today.

“G-Ginger-r why are you d-dressing-g like t-that-t.” Melody was curious why her older sister was wearing a garter belt to school.

“Because William and I are going out after school. I already cleared it with mom.” Ginger slips on a nice dress that showed her curves off.

It matched her eye color and looked nice on her. It made her look very girly. She slips on a pair of heels that gave her a few inches in height.

“Melody, can you finish zipping me up please?” Ginger couldn’t get the zipper up any further.

Melody walks over and finishes zipping up Ginger’s dress. She didn’t mind helping her sister. She wouldn’t mind having a boyfriend as her sister did.

“Come on girls, you’re going to be late for school.” Kelly carries out the clothes she needed to drop off at the cleaners, after dropping the girls off at school.

“Coming mom.” Ginger put some perfume on and grab her purse and backpack.

Melody follows her sister and grabs her backpack and purse. She follows Ginger into the living room where Kelly was waiting for them.

“Come on you two, let’s get you to school.” Kelly and the girls head out towards the SUV Nora and Kelly bought.

Melody gets to ride shotgun, while Ginger rode in the back. She didn’t mind, because she was excited that she and William were going out after school. Melody was having Carol over to work on a school project.

Kelly pulls up in front of their school. She turns to face Melody and Ginger “you two behave yourself and have fun.”

“We will mom.” As Ginger gets out and runs towards her friend.

“Bye, mom.” Melody heads over towards her group.

She spotted her lab partner, Carol standing with them. She was wearing dress slacks and a nice blouse. Carol has been coming to school dress nicely each day. Her gym locker was next to hers. Melody didn’t mind, because it allowed her to protect Carol in gym class.

“Are we still on for this afternoon?” Carol looks at Melody as she approached.

Carol wanted to have breasts as big as Melody’s. She couldn’t believe how nice Melody looked when she saw her change.

“Y-Yes-s, mom is taking us h-home-e.” Melody knew her mother was taking them home.

“Cool.” Carol couldn’t wait to see where Ginger and Melody lived.

She liked Mrs. Midnight and her daughters. She was lucky her science teacher teamed her up with Melody. Some of the other kids in her class didn’t want to be seen with her. Only, the friends that she hung with, treated her like a girl and some of her favorite teachers.

Nora was upstairs in her classroom putting the day reading assignment on the board. She puts what notes she felt were important on the blackboard. Everyone did well on the test she gave on Monday, including her daughter. To be fair to Melody, she asked another teacher to grade her paper. She didn’t want people to think she was showing favoritism.

She hears the first bell ring and finishes writing on the board. Her first bell class start coming in. Nora watches them as they took their assigned seats.

“Good Morning class. Let’s get started on chapter five.” Nora opens her book to chapter five and starts having the class read a paragraph from the book.

Nora’s first bell class goes by without any problems. When the bell rings, the students head towards their homeroom. Carol comes in and walks over to Nora’s desk.

“Morning Mrs. Midnight.”

“Morning Carol. Are you and Melody still planning on working on your project for Mr. Beaker?” Nora looks at Carol and was glad she had decided to go full time at school.

“Yes, ma’am. Do you want us to come here or meet you at the office?” Melody didn’t tell her where they were going to meet up.

“Meet me at the office. How are things going for you?” Nora wanted to know how things were going for Carol.

“Everything is fine. Some of my teachers still have a hard time remembering to call me by my new name, but they are learning.” Carol only had to remind a few teachers about her name change.

“Well, if you have any problems, please come and tell me. I’ll do what I can for you.”

“I will Mrs. Midnight and thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Carol.” Nora checks off each of her students as she spots them coming into her classroom.

It is very rare for Nora to miss a student. Once all her homeroom students are in their seats, she gives the student the news that the school wanted her to pass along. Afterward, while she is waiting for the bell to ring. She reads the announcements she passed out to her students.

The paper had a list of events coming up in the next few weeks. She knew Ginger and Melody would want to take part in a few of them. Ginger was going to join the track team this year. Melody hadn’t decided what she wanted to do yet.

During Melody’s and Carol’s science class. Their teacher lets them talk about and plan what their project was going to be for the latter half of the class. Melody has never done a science project before.

During gym class, Carol stands next to Melody and changes into her gym clothes. She couldn’t believe how Melody looked and wishes she had Melody’s body.

“I hope one day I’ll have a body like yours Melody.” Carol was feeling jealous of all the girls around her.

“Y-You-u will one day, C-Carol-l. Y-You’ll have a body like mine-e.” As she ties her gym shoes.

“I hope so.” Carol follows behind Melody as they walk out of the girl’s locker room.

Their gym teacher puts them through their paces. They were doing physical fitness and some of the girls felt that Carol should have to do what the boys did, but their teacher made Carol do what the girls had to do.

The rest of the day goes by normally. Carol sits with Melody and her friends during lunch. Some of the boys she knew were teasing her, about only wanting to be a girl. So, she could see all the girls in the locker room in their underwear. Carol didn’t let their teasing bother her. When she was in the locker room, she tried very hard to only look at Melody or the girl next to Mary next to her.

By the end of the day, Ginger leaves with William and their friends. Carol hunts Melody down and meets up with her at the office, waiting for Mrs. Midnight.

“So, any ideas on how we should proceed on our project?” Carol looks to Melody.

“I-I’ve-e never did a project b-before-e.” Melody looks at Carol.

“Never?” Carol wonders how Melody got into tenth grade.

“N-Nope-e, I-I have never been part of a partnership b-before-e.”

“Wow, so this is new for you?” Carol had a hard time understanding why Melody never did a project with another student.

Nora spotted Melody and Carol waiting for her at the office. She could tell Melody was ready to go home and that Carol was excited.

“Are you girls ready?” Nora stops to look at them.

“Yes, ma’am.” Both girls answer at once.

A smile appears on Nora’s face as they head out to her Mustang. Melody lets Carol take the front passenger seat.

“Girls, I'm going to stop at Circle K to get gas. If you two want a snack from here, go ahead and get one.” Nora hands Melody a twenty-dollar bill.

“Thanks, mom.” As Melody accepts the bill.

Nora pulls up to the gas pump and shuts her Mustang down. She gets out and starts pumping gas into the car.

Melody and Carol head inside and grabs a few drinks and a couple of bags of chips. Melody grabs a tea for her mother. They head back out to the car.

“Thank you, mom.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Midnight.”

“You’re welcome, girls.” Nora puts the gas cap on and gets the receipt.

Nora takes the girls home. Melody and Carol head towards the dining room and start on their project. Nora puts her school bags in her office and heads towards the kitchen to see what they had she could make. Kelly was going to be late and Ginger was out with her friends and William and wouldn’t be home till around 10:00 pm.

“Carol, do you like Chinese food?” Nora looks towards Carol and Melody.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“What would you like?” Nora knew what Melody liked and what Kelly liked.

“Mongolian beef, ma’am with an eggroll and fried rice.” Carol loved Mongolian beef and fried rice. She could eat four eggrolls on her own.

“Okay, one Mongolian beef served on fried rice and an eggroll.” Nora writes down what Carol wants.

“I’ll have my usual, mom.” Melody loved Szechuan chicken.

“Okay, do you want an egg roll too?” Nora knew all her children loved eggroll.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Okay, I’m going to place the order in about an hour, girls.”

“Okay, mom.” Melody starts working on their project.

Carol and Melody work on their project. They get most of the research done before they stop for the night. Nora calls her favorite Chinese restaurant and places a delivery order. Kelly comes home before the delivery arrives.

“Hey, girls.” As Kelly comes walking into the house.

Melody looks up from a book she had gotten from Nora’s library “welcome home, mom.” As she puts the book down.

“Hi, Mrs. Midnight.” Carol stops typing on her laptop.

“Hi, Carol. How’s the project coming?” Kelly remembered Melody telling them about the project.

About half-n-hour later, the Chinese delivery driver pulls up. Nora answers the front door and pays for the order.

“Already ladies, food is here.” As Nora walks towards the dining room table and starts setting it up.

Melody sits at her normal spot at the dining room table. Carol sits where Ginger normal sat and Nora and Kelly take their normal spot. All four women enjoy dinner and some dessert afterward.

By the time 9:00 pm comes around. Nora looks at Carol “are you ready to go home, Carol?”

“Yes, ma’am. I have all my books packed and ready.” Carol grabs her backpack and purse.

She turns around and looks at Melody “thank you for letting me come over.”

“You’re welcome here any time, Carol.” Kelly liked Carol. She was a nice girl.

“Come on Carol, lets take you home. Kelly, Ginger should be home at 10:00 pm.”

“Okay.” Kelly glances at the clock. Ginger had an hour left before she was due home.

Nora and Carol leave the house and head towards Nora’s mustang. Carol directs Nora towards her house. It doesn’t take Nora long to find
Carol’s place. As they pull up in front of Carol’s place, something didn’t look right to her.

“Carol, stay in the car.” Nora pulls her gun from its concealed spot.

Carol does what Nora says. She watches as Nora heads up to the front door. Carol hears a scream and watches as Nora bust the front door in and heads inside. There are several gunshots as a figure jumps out a side window and start running away from the house.

Nora approaches the front door carefully and kick it inward. As she rushes towards where the scream came from. She spots Carol parents tied to chairs with a person wearing a gray hoodie, black pants, and black gloves. She couldn’t make out the persons face. When he saw her, he pulled a gun and fired at her. When she fired back, he started running and jumped out of a nearby window.

Nora runs over and checks Carol’s parents. She checks for a pulse and doesn’t find one. Carol’s father’s throat had been sliced, just like her mother’s throat.

As she was about to pull her cellphone out to call the police, it starts beeping letting her know she had an incoming call. Nora pulls her cellphone out and notices it was Kelly calling her.

“What’s wrong Kelly?”

“Ginger and her boyfriend are at the hospital. They were jumped at the mall.” Kelly was worried about Ginger.

“Is she and William, alright?” Nora couldn’t believe that Ginger and her boyfriend were hurt.

“Ginger got sliced up pretty badly and William has a broken arm and a concussion” Kelly got a phone call from Officer Jenkins.

“Well, I have a problem here. Carol’s parents have been murdered.” Nora wonders why that person killed Carol’s parents.

“I’m sorry to hear that. I’ll pick Ginger and William up.”

“Alright, I’m going to call the police. Love you.”

“Love you more.” Kelly ends the call.

Nora calls the police department and once she was done with them. She heads back to her car and to inform Carol what happened. She wasn’t looking forward to telling Carol her parents had been murdered.

Sasha had been too late to stop Andrew McKinley from killing the young couple. She had just arrived in town and tracked him down. She spotted a Mustang pull up and saw a Hispanic woman get out move like a trained agent. She entered the house when she heard screams coming from inside the house. The next thing she heard were gunshots coming from inside the house. She heard the crashing sound of broken glass as a figured jumped out of a window.

Sasha saw a young girl in the Mustang when she ran after the figure that came through the window. The bastard was quick and quickly lost her. Normally, she wasn’t easy to lose, but McKinley wasn't an ordinary person. He was a hired killer and was very good at his job.

The thing that bothered her, was why did he kill the young couple? She waits till the coroner and police leave the crime scene before heading into the house. She looks around the house trying to figure out why McKinley came here. What was so important about these people?
McKinley wouldn’t have killed them without a reason.

She stands in the middle of the room that the couple was killed in and look around. She already took the hard drive from the computer system and had the laptops she found in the bedrooms. Sasha heads back to where her rental car was parked and head back to her hotel room.

As she drives back to her hotel, she’ll get in touch with her cousin Ivy tomorrow. She’ll have Ivy run a background check on the woman she saw entering the house and on the young couple that was killed. Since she was in Memphis, she’ll have to call a person she knows. He would know if there is an underground clinic that the criminals used. She pulls into the parking lot and heads towards her hotel room with her bounty.

Once Sasha is in her hotel room, she sets the items she brought with her down near her equipment case. She checks the time and it was almost three in the morning. Her wife and kids were in bed asleep. It was 1:00 o’clock in the morning back home. She knew Ivy wouldn’t be at the office right now. So, she’ll get some sleep and contact her later.

Nora’s House:
Nora walks out of Christina’s bedroom quietly. Carol finally cried herself to sleep. Since they didn’t have a spare bedroom for her to use. Carol would be using Christina's bedroom, while she was in Hawaii. She looks in on Ginger as she slept. Whoever she fought against was good with a knife. Ginger’s attacker sliced her arms up and lacerated her abdomen. The doctor said that Ginger had to be careful lifting anything heavy or she will tear her wound open. She had thirty stitches in all. Most of them was holding her insides, in.

Ginger’s attackers didn’t walk away unharmed either. According to what Kelly told her when they got back from the hospital. One of Ginger’s attackers had a broken leg and several broken ribs. The other guy that attacked her, had a broken arm and was knocked unconscious. William took on two guys before he was knocked unconscious. He had two broken ribs and his throwing arm was fractured. Two of the attackers managed to get away. They had injuries from Ginger using the one guy's knife on them.

Nora places a kiss on Ginger’s forehead. She was proud of her daughter. She was going to grow up being one hell of a fighter. She walks over to Melody and places a kiss on her forehead as well. Melody was Carol’s friend and that is what Carol is going to need.

Nora walks back to her and Kelly’s bedroom. Kelly was taking tomorrow off to stay home with the girls. Nora couldn’t because she had classes she had to teach. She couldn’t take tomorrow off. She crawls in next to her wife and turns her bedside lamp off.

0600hrs The Next Day:
Nora gets up and starts getting ready for school. She tries to be quiet, so she doesn’t wake Kelly. She takes her shower and manages to get dress, without waking Kelly or the girls. Before Nora leaves the house, she checks on Ginger. The hospital prescribed pain and antibiotic medicine to help Ginger deal with her wounds.

Nora leaves the house and head to school. She still wants to know who killed Carol’s parents and why? Why go after them? She tries to clear her head before going to work.

0900hrs., La Costa Suites, Downtown Memphis:
Sasha wakes-up and stretches. She was feeling a little stiff as several of her joints pop. She hops into the shower and takes a nice hot shower to loosen up. Lately, her joints have been giving her some problems. She hasn’t spoken with her mother yet about her joints. After her shower, she picks her cellphone up and dials a certain number.

Dr. Henry Dole Resident:
Dr. Dole was enjoying his morning coffee when his cell phone starts ringing. He looks at the number and recognizes it as belonging to Sasha Wolfhart.

“Sasha, it’s so nice to hear from you. What can I do for you?”

“I need some information, Dr. Dole.”

“What type of information do you need, Sasha?” Dr. Dole knew what Sasha did when she wasn’t performing.

He’s patched her up a few times when she got hurt. He was just being cautious because his clients like to remain anonymous.

“I need to know if there are any underground medical clinics in Memphis, Tennessee.”

“If I give you the information, Sasha. What are you going to give me in return?”

“What do you want, Dr. Dole?” Sasha hated haggling with him.

“Medical supplies. Nothing to illegal.” As a smile appears on his face.

“I’ll do what I can for you, Dr. Dole.” She’ll have to do some pleading with her aunt on the supplies.

Dr. Dole thinks about it. He knew Sasha’s word was good.

“Alright. Yes, there are a few underground clinics and one private hospital run by the Company. However, they know you and I recommend you stay away from them. Why do you need this information?”

“I’m looking for a hired assassin that has been shot.” Sasha hopes McKinley goes to one of the clinics.

“Who is the assassin?” Dr. Dole wonders should he put the word out.

“Andrew McKinley.”

Dr. Dole almost paled when he heard that name. McKinley was known among the underworld as Death Eyes. He was a high-class murderer with over two hundred kills under his belt. He had no problem killing anyone. Some assassins wouldn’t kill children or women, however, Death Eyes would. He uses different methods to accomplish his objective.

“I’ll put the word out and let you know if he shows up at any of the clinics or the hospital.” Dr. Dole didn’t need for McKinley to start killing any of the medical staff.

“Alright. Send me what you want, and I’ll see about getting it filled.” Sasha hopes her mother and aunt will work with her.

Sasha ends the call with Dr. Dole and calls her cousin Ivy. She hopes Ivy has arrived at work.

0800hrs., Aero Flight Industries, Emery County, Utah:
Ivy was in a good mood as she pulls into the parking garage at the mountain compound. Her date last night with Roger was enjoyable. They went for dinner at a nice restaurant and afterward they went dancing. She enjoyed her date.

As Ivy is walking towards her office, her cellphone starts ringing. She pulls it out of her purse and notices it was her cousin Sasha’s private number. She presses the accept button “good morning, Sasha. What can I do for you?”

“Morning cousin, I need for you to do a background check on a few photos of people I took.”

“Are you working on an authorized case?” Ivy knew how Sasha liked to skirt the rules her mother had for her agents.

“Yes, this is an authorized assignment.”

“Alright, send me the photos and I’ll try to have something for you in an hour or so.” Ivy had a few more things to do.

“Thanks, cousin.” Sasha sends the encrypted files to her cousin’s cell phone.

After Ivy receives the files. She ends the call and heads towards her office.

La Costa Suites, Downtown Memphis:
Once Sasha is done talking with Ivy. She gets dressed in a nice business suit and heads down to the management company that hired her to come and perform for them. She figures her cousin was going to be a while getting the information she asked for.

“Mrs. Midnight! Mrs. Midnight! Come quickly.” Jessica was going to the bathroom and came across a boy foaming at the mouth on the ground.

Nora looks at Jessica as she came bragging into her fifth bell government class. She could tell that Jessica was concerned about something.

“What is it, Jessica.” As Nora mark her spot in her government book.

She follows behind Jessica as she led her towards the bathrooms. She spots the boy on the ground.

“Jessica, go and find one of the security officers and give me your phone, please.” Nora kneels next to the boy and does what she can for him.

“Yes, ma’am.” Jessica hands her cellphone over to Mrs. Midnight and runs off to find one of the security officers.

Nora spots a small package in the young man’s hand. She removes it and notices it had a blue cloud stamped on it. While she dials 911, she pockets the small package that had a little needle attached to it.

She had a friend at the DEA that might know what the drug was. Jessica comes back with security officer Newton. She knew he was just hired this school year.

“Jessica found this young man. He was foaming at the mouth and his vitals are very shallow.” Nora looks towards security officer Newton.

“We’ve been getting reports from other areas of the school today. At least five so far.” Newton was on his way to help another guard when Jessica found him.

“It sounds like we have a drug problem going on. The paramedics are on their way here.”

“Well, I’m glad you were here.” Newton smiles at Nora as she walks back to her classroom.

Some of Nora’s students were out in the hallway when she came back. She looks at them “everything is under control, class. Now back to your seat before I give you extra homework.”

The students head back to their seats and sit down. Nora looks at all her students and takes a deep breath and slowly let it out.

“I know how hard life is for you all nowadays. Things used to be a little simpler when I was your age. However, there is no excuse for any of you to use drugs. Drugs don’t do anything helpful for you, except destroying your mind and body. If someone comes up and offer you any type of drug, tell them no.” Nora hopes her little speech will convince her students to say no to drugs.

Just as Nora finishes her speech, the lunch bell rings.

“Your homework tonight is to finish reading chapter 8 and answer the chapter questions.” Nora watches as her student leave the classroom.

Once the students leave the classroom. Nora pulls the drug package out and snaps a picture of it. She sends it to her friend in the DEA.

During lunch, Nora speaks with Carol’s and her daughter’s teachers. She gets the class work they missed and any homework they need to turn in. She explains to them why the girls aren’t in school and why Ginger and Carol may miss more this week.

Once Nora had all their assignments, she heads towards the teacher’s lounge to have lunch. She was still puzzled why Carol’s parents were murdered. She’ll have to ask Carol when she gets home what her parents did. That might explain why that guy was there.

NorthStar Coffee Shop, Memphis, Tennessee:
Hex watches as the people in her favorite coffee shop drunk their coffee and ate their pastry. She had her headphones on and was listening to the police band. They still haven’t figured out who broke into the Check into Cash building. A smile forms on her face as she knew she’ll get away with it.

The job was perfectly executed. She by-passes all the camera systems and the security system inside the building itself. She knocked out
surveillance systems within a three-block radius of the place. She wore gloves, so they had no fingerprints to dust for.

She picks up on the emergency frequency and police band that her former high school had five kids that overdose on some drug she never heard of before. She had dropped out of school last year, because of how much trouble she got into.

She got caught hacking the Marine frequency and misdirecting several cargo ships on the Mississippi River. It was by pure luck that she got caught. She was able to escape from jail by stealing a guard’s keys and disguising herself as a police officer. Before she left, she erased her police record and loaded a virus into their computer system that any time someone did a search of her name. It would delete her record from their database. She stole a car from the impound lot.

She found the program on the darknet at a hacker’s site. She wasn’t a true hacker with computers. She preferred to hack the airwaves.

As Hex kept listening to the airwaves, she picks up on a cellular signal. She presses a key on her laptop to record the conversation.

“The job is done. Deposit the rest of what you owe me, or I’ll come after you.”

“Did you kill the whole family, including the young boy?”

“You didn’t hire me to kill the whole family. Your instructions were just the parents.”

Hex watches as a text message is sent to the same cellular number she was listening to. She watches as $500,000.00 appeared. She looks around her to see if she could spot the person she was listening in on. The cellphone the person was on, had to be nearby.

She looks out the window where she was sitting and spotted a person across the street talking on a cellphone. She accesses their camera function and takes a snapshot of them. She sends the photo to her cloud account. She continues to listen and when the person is done. She watches as they remove the sim card and toss the phone.

Hex wonders who the man was supposed to have killed last night. She accesses the local radio stations and searches the internet, but nothing comes up. She’ll have to access the emergency database to find out.

Before she gets started searching. She gets a refill on her coffee and grabs a pastry herself. It felt nice that she could buy something when she wanted too. Even if it was just a coffee and éclair. As she heads back to her table.

Her birth parents never showed her any type of affections and kept putting her down. Calling her a boy because she never developed like her older sibling. Even her older sister picked on her. Her older sister was the Princess and could never do anything wrong. She, on the other hand, was the ugly duckling. Her older sister and brother were the ones her parents doted on. She was a mistake and her mother never failed to remind her.

She couldn’t remember how many times her mother said that she wishes she was never born or that she should have had an abortion. Her father wasn’t pleased with her at all. He was abusive only towards her. If her brother or sister did anything wrong, they placed the blame on her.

She couldn’t count how many times she had been backhanded, spanked or whipped by a switch. She started hanging with a bunch of kids and learned she had a knack with technology. She learned how to hack the airwaves from a group of ham operators she ran into.

Two of the people in the group used to be communication experts in the navy. She would hang with them and learned whatever they were willing to teach her. She loved hanging with them and learning from them. They never mistreated her or tried any thing. They just treated her as one of the guys.

One guy worked for a home security company and taught her how to install and disable security systems. He would let her come to work with him and treat her like his son. Hell, most of the guys she hung with treated her like a boy, because of how flat chested she was and her mannish looks.

Another guy in the group was a locksmith and he taught her how to install safes and how to open them. Those skills she put to good use breaking and entering places. Her parents and sibling didn’t even notice the fact she never came home or went to school. She ran away from home and dropped out of school at the same time.

She starts searching through the emergency call center logs after she hacked into it. She starts from the beginning of the day and records the ones that might hold some clues to what she was looking for. It was going to take her all day to find what she was looking for.

Maciel’s Tortas & Tacos, Downtown Memphis:
Sasha hears her cellphone beep, letting her know an email had arrived. She had finished up with her meeting about performing for a few nights in Memphis and was enjoying some lunch. She looks at her phone to see who just email her and notices it was her cousin Ivy.

Sasha takes out her netbook and opens it up. She establishes a secure sat link with her parents sever and bring up the email. She notices that the file was from the Diplomatic Security Service dossier on Nora Maria Midnight.

Birth Place: Jacksonville, Florida, Birthdate: May 25, 1977, Birth Father: Joseph Allen Midnight, Occupation: US Navy , Father’s Age: 45, Birth Mother’s Maiden Name: Maria Elizabeth Pérez, Occupation: Restaurant Owner, Mother’s Age: 43. Height: 5’6” Weight: 120lbs. Hair Color: Black, Eye Color: Brown, Sex: female, Recruitment Age: 21, Retirement Age: 42 Status: Retired, Nationality: Hispanic American.

She saw that Nora Midnight held a Master’s degree in Law Enforcement and took an online course to get her teacher’s degree and passed with 99% score on the test. As Sasha continued reading, most of Nora’s Midnight file had been redacted. The good thing about her cousin, she was able to get her hands on the original file, before it became redacted.

She was recruited and trained by Cheshire Patel for CIA Project: Spearhead. There was a picture of Nora standing with several other men and it looked like it was taken out in the desert. Down in the right-hand corner, Sasha spots where the picture was taken. Iraq September 21, 2007.
According to Nora’s record, she worked for six years with the CIA as a special operative. Then she was reassigned at her request to protection detail. Before the CIA assignment, she was assigned to several counter-terrorism teams. Then later was personally requested by the German ambassador to serve as his personal protection agent.

She speaks seven different languages and has several arrests under her belt as well. Sasha couldn’t believe the life this woman had. No wonder she moved like a trained agent. As she continued to read the file. Sasha noticed that she adopted two young girls in 2018 and married a Kelly Tillis last year as well.

Sasha was impressed with this woman. She would be someone her aunt would hire to work for her. The thing now is, why did Andrew McKinley kill those two people last night.

Sasha moves on to the next file, which was the background on the family that had been killed. The woman’s name was Sophia Ann Lynch, her husband’s name was Morrison Andrew Lynch, they had a son named Charlie Henry Lynch. According to the information her cousin got on the father, he was a DEA agent and his wife was retired Navy. As she kept reading, Mr. Lynch was working on a case involving a new drug that was being produced and shipped out of Memphis.

Sasha figures Mr. Lynch must have gotten to close to the source of the drug. Which meant whoever was making the drug was well connected and loaded. She knew from the profile they had on Andrew McKinley that he was an expensive contract killer.

The thing was, how did Mrs. Midnight fit into this? Does the young girl she saw in the car have anything to do with it? Sasha closes her netbook and tucks it back into her purse. She was going to have to go and see this Nora Midnight and ask her about the young girl.

High School:
Nora was sitting in her classroom working on her grade book when her cellphone rings. She looks at it and notices it was her friend at the DEA.

“Hey Landon, what do you have for me?” Nora pulls out a little note pad.

“Hello to you too. I have some news for you on that drug you found. It’s called Day Dream. It puts its user into a very relax and high state that is strong enough to shut down the automatic functions of the body. It’s a designer drug and it has been hitting the streets lately. My agency has been investigating where it is made and who is behind it.”

“Who’s the lead investigator?” Nora wonders if it was Carol’s father.

“That would be Morrison Andrew Lynch.” Landon wonders why Nora wanted to know.

“Well, I hate to tell you this London, but agent Lynch and his wife were murdered the other night.” Nora didn’t know if her friend knew.

“Damn, that’s the third agent we have lost.” Landon couldn’t believe they lost another agent.

“It sounds like you have a leak in your agency or in the office handling this investigation.”

“I’ll look into it. You be careful Nora.”

“I will and thanks.” Nora ends the phone call.

990 River Currents Dr, Memphis, TN
Hex had gone back to her place. She used her gear there to search through the emergency database. She went through the calls and came across one mentioning two people who had been killed. She writes the address down and does some digging. The place belonged to a Sophia and Morrison Lynch. Sophia lynch was a retired navy officer and Mr. Morrison was a DEA agent.

She leans back in her chair and wonders if it had something to do with the fact that Mr. Morrison was a DEA agent. She plays the recording back and listens to it. She had the number he dialed recorded. She searches the cellphone carrier’s database to find out who it belonged too.

The number comes back as a burner like she thought it would. She tries to remotely activate the phone to see if someone had it. It turns on and she could hear some voices but couldn’t make them out because of so, much background noise. She records the conversation, so she can clean it up later.

While her computers are doing that, she pulls the money she took from the Check into Cash and count it. She had over $200.000 dollars that she took from them. The place deserved it for what they were charging people for cashing their checks. After she counts and binds it. She locks it away in her wall safe.

Hex checks her burglary tools and the rest of her tools. She really didn’t like guns, but she knew how to use them. Chris taught her how to use a gun, along with picking locks. She had a few guns and shotguns she picked up along the way. She also had bulletproof police vest she took from the home of a police officer. The man was a crook and deserved having his vest taken.

Carol knocks on Ginger’s and Melody’s bedroom door before entering. They were going to her parent’s funeral today. Nora had bought her a nice black dress to wear. She gave her a choice between wearing a suit or wearing a dress. Carol decided to wear a dress like Ginger and Melody were.

“How are you feeling Ginger.” Carol walks over to Ginger’s bed, where she was sitting.

“I’m doing fine. It only hurts when I laugh.” Ginger smiles at Carol.

“How are you doing, Carol?” Melody looks at her friend and felt sad for her.

“I’m alright.” Carol had cried her heart out for the past few days, while Nora and Kelly made funeral arrangements for Carol’s family.

Carol had family members that were coming to the funeral, along with her mother and father’s friends. She wanted to stay with Nora and Kelly for now because she felt safe with them. Carol helps Ginger along with Melody’s help towards the living room. Nora and Kelly were waiting for them when they entered.

“Are you going to be okay, Ginger?” Nora was concerned about her daughter’s injuries.

“I’ll be fine, mom.” Ginger had taken some pain pills for her abdomen wound.

“Are you okay, sweetie?” Nora looks towards Carol.

She knew its been a rough week for Carol. Between going back to the house to get her mother’s address book and making the funeral arrangements. Nora did learn that when they went back, the computer’s hard drives were missing. Also, Carol’s parents’ laptops were missing their hard drives as well.

Nora wonders if the police took them or someone else did. She had a clean-up crew come in and remove the blood stains and clean the house as well. Until the matter of who killed Carol parents is solved. The house would remain empty.

Nora drives the Mercedes S600 she owns to the funeral. Carol was sitting in the back seat with Melody sitting behind Kelly and Ginger was sitting behind Nora. She glances in the rearview mirror occasionally, to see how Carol was doing. She could see the tears sliding down her cheeks.

Melody holds Carol’s right hand, as Ginger holds Carol’s left hand as they headed to the funeral. The trail of cars following Nora to the funeral was a long one. She parks her car, behind the hearse after they remove the casket from them.

Nora gets out of the car first to look around. Whoever the killer was that killed Carol’s parents. Who knows if he wouldn’t try to kill her now during the funeral? Once she was satisfied that everything was safe. She opens the passenger side door to let Kelly out of the car.

Kelly gets out and stands near the back-passenger door to let the girls out, while Nora stood guard over them. She was wearing one of her old suits that she wore when she was a DSS agent. She also had her handguns with her.

The far end of the funeral procession:
Sasha decided to attend the funeral of the couple killed. She wanted to see if the assassin that was sent to kill them, might try to take the child out. She was wearing a new outfit her aunt sent her. It was supposed to provide her protection against bullets and sharp objects.

Her cousin Ronnie was linked into her laptop and was going through all the hard drives she had connected to it. If there was anything of importance on those drives, he’ll find it. He was a cyber forensics specialist. As she pulls behind the next to the last car in the funeral procession. She spots movement near a mausoleum.

Sasha takes her binoculars out and spots a person dress as a maintenance worker pointing a rifle towards the funeral party. She slips her heels off and slips on her tennis shoes. She grabs her gun and slips out of her car. She moves quickly and quietly among the headstones and monuments towards him.

Morrison sighted in on the child he was told to kill. His employer wanted to make sure the DEA director received the message. He had found out that the boy of the couple he killed was now dressing as a girl. He had seen the Hispanic woman get out of the car the girl was riding in and looked around. He guessed she was some sort of bodyguard.

Just as he was about to shoot the girl. A white cloud appears in front of him. He starts coughing as he inhales whatever is in the cloud.

Sasha had managed to toss one of her specialty gimmick balls at the figure. The one she tossed at him, was filled with an irritant substance that caused you to cough uncontrollably. He drops his rifle as he tries to run away from the cloud.

Sasha chases after him as she slips two more golf ball size balls into her hand. She tosses them at him and manages to hit his head with them. They burst open and pepper him with a strong itching powder and a neon pink dye.

Morrison had no idea who the woman was chasing after him as he fights the urge to scratch himself. Whatever she hit him with was burning his skin and making him want to scratch his skin. He glances behind him and starts firing his gun at her.

Sasha takes cover behind a tree as bullets whizzed past her. She pulls her gun and fire back at him. The stuff she put in those golf balls should be working right now.

Morrison keeps running as the burning sensation from whatever he was hit with causes his skin to turn red. He could fill heat from the substance as it starts burning his skin. He makes it to his motorcycle and takes off.

“Damn!” Sasha watches as her target makes it to a motorcycle and drive off quickly.

Gravesite:
Nora and the others heard the gunshots while the priest was delivering the eulogy. Nora took her gun out and stood protectively over Carol and her family. She looks in the direction where the gunshots were coming from and notices a woman with red hair wearing a black skirt suit, chasing after a man with brown hair and wearing green coveralls.

“Get to the car.” Nora rushes her family to the Mercedes. It was bulletproof and armored.

She had to carry Ginger because of her wound. It was stopping her from moving fast. She gets the girls and Kelly to the car. While she was running towards the car, she was wondering who the woman with red hair was.

Nora gets into the car. Just as she shuts the door, raindrops start falling from the sky.

“Are any of you hurt?” Nora glances at the girls and Kelly.

“We’re fine, mom.” Melody was holding Carol as she cried against her.

“I’m fine, mom.” Ginger was in a little pain, but she could deal with it.

“I’m fine sweetie,” Kelly looks at Nora and could tell she was concerned.

Nora relaxed some, but was still alert as she pulled the Mercedes from behind the two hearses. she kept her eyes out for any threats that might hurt her family. Nora was happy her family was safe. However, she wanted to know who that red hair woman was as she drives back home.

Sasha walks back to her car. She was pissed the guy had gotten away, but she’ll get him. She also figures she should have a talk with Mrs. Midnight as well. She gets in her car as the rain comes down and heads back to her hotel room.

McKinley was pissed when he got back to his safehouse. Whatever that red hair woman threw at him, was irritating the hell out of him. His skin felt like it was on fire and he couldn’t stop himself from scratching at the spot. The neon pink dye that had covered the back of his head wouldn’t come off either. It permanently dyed the skin it had landed on neon pink.

“Who the fuck was she!” He steps into the shower to try to wash his skin. The burning sensation got worst when water hits his skin.

He screams out in pain as he jumps out of the shower. He looks in the mirror and notices his skin was blistering from whatever the chemicals were on his skin. He grabs the bottle of Crown Royal he had and pours it on the spot, and it didn’t burn. He uses the rest of the Crown Royal to wash the chemicals away.

The neon pink dye that he got hit with, wasn’t coming off without special chemicals to remove it. He’ll have to get in touch with a supplier to get the chemicals. The thing is, he wanted to know who that red hair woman was and why was she coming after him.

He finishes cleaning up and changes clothes. McKinley grabs a fresh cellphone and places a call to a local supplier he knows. He doesn’t go into detail, but he does give him a list of chemicals he needed to remove the pink dye. He would go out himself to grab them, but there was the possibility that he would be recognized with the dye covering half his face and the back part of his neck.

After he finishes that task, he looks over the photos he has of the girl and her bodyguard. He saw how she responded when she heard gunfire going on and how she moved the girl and those around her. He needs information on her as well. He walks over to his laptop and contacts his person in the Department of Justice. If anyone could figure out who they were, they could.

Once he is done with those tasks, he waits to hear from his supplier.

Warehouse District, Memphis, Tn.:
Hex looks around as she drove around town in the warehouse district by the river. She had managed to get within five blocks to where the other phone she remote into was. She parks her work van and gets out to look around. She was dressed as a delivery person, so as not to bring any attention to herself.

After walking around for fifteen minutes, she finally locates the building the signal was coming from. She spots two Latino men with AK-47 guarding the loading dock. There was no way she was going to be able to sneak past them. She looks up the side of the warehouse and figures she could race across the roof.

Hex grabs her climbing gear from inside the van and tosses it up onto the roof. She hides behind a dumpster to make sure no one heard or spotted her. She climbs up the back of the building to the roof. She would figure they would have a lookout up here, but they didn’t. She takes her climbing gear with her and heads over towards the roof access hatch. She pulls up on it, but it was secured from inside. She pulls out her endoscope and manages to slip it up and under the hatch. As she moves it around, she could see that the hatch was held shut by a chain and padlock. The chain went through the handle on the other side of the hatch. She looks where the hatch handle was bolted and takes out a ratchet and socket. She removes the bolts holding the handle on. She lifts the hatch carefully and climbs down her rope. She doesn’t see any movement, but she does hear music playing.

Hex moves quietly as possible while staying to the shadows. She spots some barrels she can hide behind. She spots women in their panties and bra’s wearing mask packing baggies with white powder, after weighing it. She should have brought her camera with her. She spots an office with three people in it. She moves over towards it and looks inside through a hole in the wall. There were three Latino males talking. She records their conversation with the micro recorder she brought with her.

Hex does spot a young man walk in with a gym bag and hand it to the older of the three guys. She keeps watching as he opens it and counts the money inside the bag. A smile appears on her face as an idea pops into her head. She saw some chemicals while she was sneaking around.

She was good in chemistry when she was in high school. She heads back where she saw them. She starts putting the chemicals together she needs to make a stink and smoke cloud that will provide her some cover. Once the chemicals were ready and the makeshift timer was set.

Hex rushes back to the hiding spot she had and waits. A white cloud starts drifting into the prep area and people start coughing. The people inside the office come out to see was going on. she waits a few seconds before moving.

Hex rushes into the office and grabs the bag she saw and another bag that was there. She also grabs the two cellphones sitting on the desk. She could hear everyone coughing and running out of the building. She uses the cloud as cover as she runs out of the warehouse with
everything. The second bag was heavy, but she manages to slip away without being noticed.

She makes her way back to her van and drives off. Hex grabs her water bottle and couldn’t believe the plan had worked. It was an impromptu plan in the first place. She wonders what is in the second gym bag.

Hex is cautious as she takes the long way back to her storage unit, where she keeps the van. Once she parks the van, she transfers everything she took to her car and heads home. She did scan the bags to make sure there wasn’t any sort of tracking devices in them.

Once Hex gets home, she takes the bags and everything up to her workroom. The first bag contained money like she thought it would. Once she counted it out. There were $60,000 dollars in the bag. The other bag contained handguns and sub-machine guns. There were also a few hand grenades in there. She wonders where they got hand grenades from.

Along with the weapons were a bunch of cellphones that looked like they had been stolen. The cellphones she could use. It would be easy for her to break them and reprogram them for use. As for the weapons, Hex figures she’ll keep them.

She looks at the two phones that had been sitting on the desk. They were locked, but she knew a way to break into them. She hooks them up and has her systems unlock them and download all their information. The contact list is what interest her the most and the call log. She runs all the names and number. Even with her set-up, it was going to take a while. As for the $60,000 dollars. She adds that to the money she took from the check cashing place. She keeps a hundred dollars out just in case she needs something.

Hex orders some Chinese food while she waits for her system to match the numbers from the contact list. After twenty minutes, she hears her doorbell ring. She flicks her monitor to the front door camera and spots the delivery driver waiting for her. She presses the intercom on her desk.

“Coming.” Hex heads downstairs.

“Hey Jing, thanks for bringing me my food.” She hands him the twenty she took.

Jings goes to make change.

“Keep the change for your tip.”

“Thank you.” Jing turns around and heads back to his car.

“You’re welcome.” Hex closes her front door and heads back upstairs to her workroom.

While she is eating at her workbench, her computer beeps to let her know it had finished identifying the phone numbers. Hex looks at the screen as she bites into a spring roll. There were several numbers that belonged to different DEA agent in Memphis, Mexico, and Washington D.C. There were also numbers that couldn’t be identified but had a Washington D.C. area code.

As she continued to look through the information. She notices that there were a few numbers that were according to her out at sea. Hex brings up a map and watches as the cellphone came up the Mississippi river. Hex wonders if it could be a supply run or something coming in?

She sits back in her chair and continue to eat her food as she reviews the numbers. Most of them she can ping and get their location. She figures those must be the dealers themselves. She saw a few that were registered to a few police officers.

Hex just shakes her head as she realized that the person she ripped off, was well connected. She continues to eat her dinner as she wonders what her next step should be.

Ginger heard back from William. He was doing better. She, on the other hand, was still recovering. Her doctor said she couldn’t do anything strenuous or lift anything heavy. Her doctor wrote her a note excusing her from gym class.

She had gone to school with Carol and Melody. Nora had driven all three girls to school. Ginger had noticed that her mother was more cautious and alert. When they got to school, her mother informed them that they should be inside. It made whoever was after Carol difficult to kill her. She also instructed Carol to stay away from any windows.

Nora had gone to the head of security at school and warned them about someone after Carol. She couldn’t identify who it was, but so far, he had tried to kill her twice. Security Chief Tony Hopkins knew to listen to Nora. She was the reason the school had increased security around the school and the fact she helped them with problems.

Security Chief Tony promises he would keep an eye on Carol. He passes the word to his other security personnel to keep an eye out and on Carol. He made rounds during the day himself, in order to protect Carol. They also had a few more instances during the day of students using drugs.

Two more upperclassmen had taken the drug while in school. The ambulance had to come to school. They were still trying to find out where the students were getting the drugs.

Wolfchase Galleria:
Hex had gone up to the Galleria to visit a shop she sometimes buys her radio gear from. She needed a piece of equipment she didn’t have, but the shop did. After buying the item she needed for her set up. She decided to have lunch at the Galleria. As she is sitting in the food court watching the people in the mall.

She spots a red hair woman putting on a magic show for the people. She finishes her lunch and walks over to watch her. She had three tiny fiery balls she was juggling in her bare hands. Hex saw the fiery balls land on the woman’s hand before she twirled them around. She couldn’t figure out how the woman was doing it.

When the red hair woman tosses the fiery balls up into the air, they change forms into little birds and circle around the crowd. Once they get back to the woman, they explode into sparks. She loved what happened and clapped with the others.

“Thank you, Thank you.” Sasha bows to everyone.

She had come to the mall to arrange a performance with mall management. Her reputation was enough that it would bring a crowd to the mall. She was still planning on going to see Mrs. Midnight, but right now she had time to kill before she did.

Hex stays behind after the crowd dispersed “you’re amazing, Mrs. Wildfire.”

Hex had looked her up on the internet. There were all sorts of videos of her performing illusions and escaping from impossible confinement. Rocking in a band, with tricks going on during their performance. There were pictures of her fighting people as well that had been caught on video.

“Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.” Sasha looks at the young man standing near her.

“Are you performing in the area, Mrs. Wildfire?” Hex wouldn’t mind going to one of her performances to see what else she could do.

“Yes, I am. I’m putting on a performance in a few days in downtown Memphis. One of the venues I’m playing at is called Live at the Garden. I’ll be performing there for a few days.” Sasha was arranging to stay in Memphis for as long as it would take to capture Andrew McKinley.

While Hex and Sasha are talking. A group of young gang members come into the Galleria and start harassing the patrons. Six of them approach Hex and Sasha.

One steps up to Hex “give me your money white boy, before me and my friends have fun with you and your mother.”

Sasha raises an eyebrow. These punks thought the boy talking to her was her son.

“Why don’t you boys go home, before you get hurt.” Sasha’s voice had taken on a dangerous tone.

"Qué vas a hacer, perra?" He looks directly into her eyes when he says that.

A smile forms on Sasha’s face “this!”

Sasha strikes quickly, hitting a nerve cluster in his right shoulder. She strikes twice more hitting his other shoulder and his left thigh.

“Timber!” The guy falls to the floor, unable to move.

The other guys that had come over, try to grab Hex, but she smacks his hands away. She knew a few moves, as she punches the guy in the throat as hard as she could. Another guy tries to grab her, but he ends up with her kneeing him in the groin. She took a self defense course the local YMCA had offered. Shawn and Harry had suggested that she learned how to protect herself.

Sasha ends up putting the others down quickly. She doesn’t draw her gun or anything. She just uses the martial art training she was taught by her mother and father. When she kneels to check on them. She spots several packets of drugs that had fallen out of their pockets.

She picks a few up and slips them into her pocket quickly. She’ll have to send them to a lab her mother owns in this area to analyze them. She steps aside and answers any questions that the security team has for her. They question Hex as she listens to his answers.

Once the security personnel arrest the gang members. Sasha looks at the young man that stayed to talk with her.

“Do you have any plans for today? I want to thank you for staying and helping. Also, what is your name?” Sasha was curious.

“My name is Hex and you’re welcome. Those clowns have been terrorizing the malls around here lately.” Hex has been picking transmissions over the police and emergency band about people being hurt.

Sasha raises an eye brow when the boy said his name was Hex. She wonders if he gave himself that name or if his parents did. She’ll have to ask him later.

“Well Hex, how did you get up here?” Sasha was wondering if she should take her car.

“I rode my moped up here. If you want, you could follow me back to my place and I could ride with you.” Hex figured that would be better than leaving her moped.

“Sounds like a plan. I’ll follow you, then.”

Sasha gathers her stuff up and follows Hex outside. Once Hex is on her moped, she leads Sasha back to her place. Once they arrive, Sasha waits for Hex as she puts her moped away.

Hex walks over to Sasha’s car after putting her moped away. She left her purchase inside her place. She climbs into the car. Just as she was sitting down on the passenger seat. Hex spots a folder in between the driver seat and the passenger seat. There was a picture on the front of it of the guy she saw at the coffee shop.

“Are you looking for this person?” Hex picks the folder up.

“Yes.” Sasha couldn’t believe she was careless and left an important folder out.

“Well, I could sort of help you find this person. I’ve seen him before.” Hex figures she might be able to locate him, even with the new phone he had.

“You have, Where?” Sasha was curious.

“Near my favorite coffee shop. He was switching phones.” Hex remembered the day she saw him.

“Damn! That will make it harder to find him.” Sasha had thought about tracking him by his cellphone use.

“Not really, I can do it. That’s my specialty.” Hex figures she could trust Sasha.

“What do you mean, it’s your specialty? Are you a hacker?” Sasha glances at Hex for a split second as she drove.

“In a way, I am. I hack the airwaves. If it's out there floating around or is bouncing from one relay to another relay, or satellite dish. I can capture it and hack it.” Hex just watches Sasha facial expression.

“Hhmm, maybe you can help after all. Are you sure you want to go down this path? It can get very dangerous.” Sasha knew from experience how dangerous it was going after bad guys.

“How dangerous can it get and how dangerous is this guy?” Hex was curious now.

“He’s a hired assassin and is very good at what he does. He already killed a DEA agent and is trying to kill the person's child.”

“Why? Why would he kill a child? Also, why did he kill the DEA agent?” Hex was feeling a little scared now.

“I believe it has something to do with this.” She shows the drug packet she took from the gang member.

Hex looks at the drug packet “I’ve seen that drug before. It is becoming popular out on the streets.”

“Well, its extremely dangerous and I think the agent that was trying to locate where it was manufactured, and process was killed because of it.” Sasha figures that was why the assassin had been sent after Morrison Andrew Lynch.

“I think I found where the drugs are processed at yesterday. I sort of stole some stuff from them.” Hex figures if Sasha was being straight and honest with her, she could return that trust.

“What do you mean, you sort of stole some stuff from them?” Sasha had to pull the car over for this explanation.

“Well, I located the person the assassin you told me about was hired by. I managed to track down their location. Once I sneaked into his place, I sort of stole some money and weapons, along with his and several other cellphones.” Hex looks at Sasha. She notices that they had pulled over to talk.

Sasha couldn’t believe the balls on this boy. He ripped off a drug dealer.

“Did anyone see you?” Sasha was worried that someone might have seen him.

“Nope, I MacGyver my way out, by using some chemicals I found. No one saw me and I found some interesting information on the cellphones I took.” Hex watches Sasha’s facial expression.

“I think, we might want to bring this information to another party involved in this matter.” Sasha clicks on her turn signal and pulls back out onto the road.

She heads towards Nora’s house. It’s time they met, and all the information was shared with her. She also figures that Nora might want to meet Hex.

“Hex, if you don’t mind me asking. Why did you steal from this drug dealer and why did you go after him?” Sasha was curious what drove Hex.

“I, wanted to see who the person was that your guy was talking too.” Hex brushes a strand of her short bangs out of her eyes.

Her hair has grown out some, since she left her parents place. She kept it gender neutral. That way people would still think she was a boy. Just like Mrs. Wolfhart does.

Nora was in the kitchen prepping what she was going to cook for dinner. Melody, Ginger, and Carol were sitting at the dining room table working on homework. Kelly was doing hers and Nora’s laundry.

Everyone hears the doorbell ring. Whoever was at the door rings the doorbell again.

“I got it.” Kelly gets up and walks towards the front door.

Sasha couldn’t believe Hex had rung the doorbell a second time. She just looks at Hex “you do know, she probably heard it the first time, you pressed it.”

“Maybe. I always found it better to ring it twice.” Hex looks at Sasha.

Sasha just shakes her head. She should be used to dealing with teenagers by now. Her daughter Rose was around Hex’s age.

Kelly opens the front door and spots a woman with red hair dress in a nice old-style stage magician outfit. Standing next to her was a young man with dark hair. He looked to be in his teens.

“Can I help you?” Kelly was wondering who they were.

“Hi, my name is Sasha Wolfhart, and this is Hex. We’re here to talk with Nora Midnight if she is available.” Sasha had a pleasant smile on her face.

“Can you wait a minute, please?” Kelly wanted to get Nora.

“Sure.” Sasha liked the neighborhood they were in.

Sasha saw that Nora’s house was one of the restored homes in the area. She knew the area they were in was part of Memphis past. Which meant most of the homes in the area were as well.

Kelly shuts the door and heads towards the kitchen to get Nora. She walks into the kitchen and looks towards Nora.

“There’s a Sasha Wolfhart and a young man named Hex at the front door asking for you, Nora.”

“Did she say what she wanted?” Nora wipes her hands as she looks at her wife.

“Nope, except to talk to you.” Kelly comes over to see what Nora was working on.

Nora was curious who they were. She didn’t know a Sasha Wolfhart. She walks towards the front door and opens it.

“Hi, I’m Nora Midnight, why don’t you come in, please.” Nora steps aside to let Sasha and Hex inside the house.

Sasha was surprised to see that the picture of Nora, matched the woman. She lets Hex walk in first, as she follows behind him.

Nora closes the front door and could tell that there was something familiar about Sasha Wolfhart. Like she had seen her before. Then it dawns on her, the redhead from the funeral.

Sasha spotted three teenage girls sitting at a nice dining room table working on homework. She noticed one of the girls was the one she saw in the car that night. She turns her attention back to Nora.

Hex stood close to Sasha after they walked in. She noticed three teenage girls doing homework. She didn’t recognize any of them. She wonders where the woman who answered the door went.

Nora looks at Sasha “how can I help, Mrs. Wolfhart?”

“It’s more of how I can help you, Mrs. Midnight. A couple of nights ago, a DEA agent and his wife were murdered in their home by a psycho assassin I have been chasing after. I didn’t know that he had been hired to go after them. Then the other day, I went to the funeral for that same DEA agent and chased after his killer.”

Carol heard Sasha talking to Nora and walks over towards her “did you know my parents?”

Hex had seen the young girl get up and walk over towards them. He was waiting for the right time to speak. She had a few things to add.

Sasha looks at the young girl “no I didn’t. I was chasing after the man that killed them. He’s wanted for several other murders.”

Tears started leaking from Carol’s eyes. Nora wraps her arms around her and looks at Sasha.

“Why don’t we talk more about this matter, in my office?” Nora was looking at Ginger and Melody as well.

“That might be best.” Sasha saw that the girls had stopped working on whatever they were doing and listening.

“Melody, can you come over here and help Carol please?” Nora knew Carol was just coming to terms about what happened to her parents.

Melody comes over and takes Carol to her and Ginger’s bedroom. Melody was concerned about her friend.

“If you’ll follow me, please.” Nora takes Sasha and Hex into her home office, so they can speak in private.

They head into Nora’s home office and close the door behind them. Ginger looks at her mother “do you think mom and that other woman, and her son will be able to capture the guy who killed carol’s parents?”

“Knowing your mother, as I do. She’ll never give up till he is brought to justice.” Kelly knew Nora would want to bring the guy who killed Carol’s
parents in.

Nora sat down behind her desk, while Sasha and Hex took the seats in front of her desk. Nora looks at the red hair woman “were you the one that was chasing someone in the cemetery?”

“Yes, I figured he might try again, so I attended the funeral procession. I also left him some nasty gifts. I tagged him with a permeant dye, that takes special chemicals to remove. Even if he removes it. His skin where it hit will look paler than the rest of his body.” A pleasant smile appears on her face.

“Do we know how to find Mr. McKinley?” Nora looks at Sasha and the young boy.

“I can track him, and I know who he is working for as well,” Hex spoke up.

“How can you do that?” Nora was curious.

“Let’s just say my male companion is resourceful.” Sasha looks at Hex.

“Oh?” Nora looks at Hex as well.

“Go on and tell her, what you told me.” Sasha wanted Nora to hear what Hex told her.

Hex looks towards Nora and tells her everything that happened. He watches Nora’s reaction. He couldn’t gauge her reactions, till he got to the end.

“You know, you have become a target? The gang leader isn’t going to stop looking for you.” Nora couldn’t believe what the teenage boy did.

“How are they going to know? No one saw me enter or saw me leave.” Hex looked at both people.

“Still, if McKinley finds out what you are doing. He may come after you as well.” Sasha was concerned about Hex.

“He’ll have to find me first. I have other hiding places if I need to hide.” Hex wasn’t scared. The worst McKinley could do to her, is kill her.

There’s a knock on the office door and Kelly’s pop’s her head in. She looks towards Nora “should I set two extra plates?”

Nora looks at Hex and Sasha “will you join me and my family for dinner?”

“We would love too.” Sasha smiles at Nora.

Nora looks back towards Kelly “yes.”

“Okay, as Kelly smiles.’ She leaves the office.

Sasha wakes up the next morning, feeling refreshed and a little sore. After meeting Nora Midnight and her family last night, she felt a little guilty of being in Memphis, while her own family was back in California. She was supposed to get together with Hex today and see if the gang he stole from was still operating from the same warehouse.

She moves the curtains aside and saw that it was raining outside. She pulls her laptop out and checks what the weather was supposed to be like for the rest of the day. According to the weather report, it was supposed to rain all day and part of tomorrow as well.

“I hate operating in the rain.” Sasha heads into the bathroom to take a shower.

Once she is done with her shower and as she was walking out of the bedroom. She hears her cellphone playing the ringtone from Charlie’s Angels. She walks over and check to see who it was and noticed it was her cousin Ivy.

She presses accept “Hello Ivy. What can I do for you?”

“I’m calling to inform you what I found on the drives. One drive had nothing, but sights any teen would go to. Except, the teen also looked up information on gender dysphoria like you had. The other drives were encrypted and linked to a secure cloud account. It contained information about a new drug and how it was being made and shipped. I managed to get a sample of it and it is a nasty concoction. Mom is working on a counter to it.”

“How deadly is it?” Sasha puts her phone on the bed on speaker as she gets dress.

“Depending on the dosage the user takes, it puts the person in a state of total relaxation. The stronger the dose, the more it affects a person. If
the user takes a full power dose, it will shut down their autonomic nervous system.” Ivy couldn’t believe the report she had gotten back from
her mother on the stuff.

The results matched the reports of the DEA agent who had died. He had pictures and medical reports from the city morgue doctor. He had several cases of children and adults that came in dead after taking a full powerful dose of the drug.

“How did you managed to get a sample of the drug?” Sasha puts her bra on while she waited for her cousin to respond.

“Let’s just say, mom knows a few drug dealers that we get our supplies from. Oh, speaking about supplies. Tell your contact that he can pick up
the items he wanted at storage unit 223. The combination for the lock is the storage unit number.”

“Thanks, Ivy. So, what have you been up to lately?” Sasha slides her body suit on that she will be wearing under her clothes.

“I met someone and I’ve been seeing him lately.” Ivy was enjoying her relationship with Roger.

“Is it anyone I know?” Sasha straps her concealable weapons in place.

“Maybe. I’ll talk to you later about him, Sasha. I have to go.”

“Alright, Ivy. Bye.” Sasha ends the call.

Sasha finishes getting dress and checks to make sure all her specialized gear couldn’t be spotted. She grabs her car keys and heads down to her car. She was going over to Hex’s place to ride with her.

Hex’s Place:
Hex wakes up and stretches. She noticed it was raining outside. She heads towards her bathroom and does her morning business. She hops into the shower and takes a quick shower. When she gets out, she injects herself with 200 mg of testosterone and slap on two patches of testosterone as well.

She was trying to develop upper body strength and maintain it. Today, Hex decides to wear her artificial penis. Lately, she hasn’t bothered to wear one, but she noticed last night that Nora and Sasha had been given her looks. She grabs a pair of boxers and put them on. She was thankful that she didn’t have periods and such to worry about.

Hex grabs a pair of jeans that were stretchy in the crotch area to wear. She also grabs a t-shirt she had made up for a fake floral delivery company. She figures that if she and Sasha got pulled over, they could bluff their way out of the situation.

She heads down to her garage and takes her Jeep to the warehouse she stores her surveillance van at. It was an old UPS van that she put a new engine and transmission in. She also added a NOS systems for a quick getaway. While she is prepping and checking everything, Sasha’s rental car pulls up. She waves Sasha inside the warehouse and shows Sasha where she can park.

Sasha couldn’t believe a youngster like Hex had a warehouse with four different vehicles inside it. Hex had suggested last night, they should take his floral delivery vehicle, because it wouldn’t stand out too badly. She parks her rental where Hex directs her.

Sasha gets out of her car “you have a unique collection of vehicles.”

There was a work truck with a boom lift, another one that belonged to a telephone company, a security company van and finally the one they
were going to take out that was an old UPS van. Sasha walks over to the one they were taking out.

“You’re going to stick out looking like you do. There’s a spare uniform hanging up in the closet, which should fit you.” Hex had seen how Sasha was dressed.

No one would believe she was a delivery person. So, she needed to change clothes.

“Alright.” Sasha finds the uniform and slips her clothes off and start putting the uniform on.

Hex saw the black jumpsuit Sasha was wearing under her clothes and was curious about it. He walks over towards Sasha “what is that you’re wearing?”

“It’s a bulletproof body suit. It was custom made for me, by my aunt.”

“Would your aunt be willing to make one for me?” Hex was thinking it would be better to have that type of suit, instead of the police vest she stole.

“That depends. Are you a good person or a bad person? My aunt is particular about who she gives things too.” Sasha was watching Hex. If there was one thing she was good at, was reading people.

‘Mrs. Wolfhart, I look out for myself, because no one else will. If that means breaking the law in order to survive. I will do it. I’ve learned that the only person you can count on in life, is yourself.”

“That’s not always true, Hex. I have friends I count on that helps me. I also have my family, which is my biggest asset and support.”

“Well, I have friends, but they don’t know what I do. As for family, mine are assholes and self-centered jerks. So, I can only depend on myself.” Hex goes inside the van.

Her family managed to get out of jail after she had them swatted. She still wanted them to pay for what they did to her, but it was going to take time to ruin them. She checks the equipment in the van.

Sasha follows behind Hex and sits down in the driver seat. She gets ready to head to the area Hex had stolen the items from. Once she pulls out of the warehouse, Hex closes the doors and lock it.

Nora’s High School:
Nora pulls up at school. Melody, Carol, and Ginger had ridden with her. Ginger was doing a little better and could return to school. However, she couldn’t participate in gym class.

Before Nora let the girls out of the car “you girls be careful and if you see or hear about anything suspicious. Let me know as soon as you can.”

“We will, mom.” Ginger had spoken for the trio.

Carol has been calling Nora mom or mother lately. She also wanted to be like Melody. Melody was developing into a full figure woman. Where Ginger was developing an hourglass figure, Melody had a diamond-shaped figured. Melody had big breast and wide hips. She was wearing a pair of Melody’s panties to school today.

Melody helps Ginger out of the car. Carol follows behind them carrying Ginger’s school books. They head inside the school, because of the rain.

Nora watches her girls. She was already thinking of Carol as being her daughter. She and Kelly had talked about it and decide to pursue adopting Carol. She and Kelly also observed that Carol was picking up on Melody’s mannerism. She knew Melody was allowing Carol to wear her panties and bras. The girls didn't think she and Kelly knew, but they did.

Nora heads towards the main office and check-in. She checks her box, to make sure there wasn’t any messages or paperwork for her. After checking in, Nora heads towards her classroom and start writing the days assignment and on the blackboard. She would love a smart board to teach her children. She might ask the principal if she could.

While Nora was putting the day's lesson plan on the board. One of her students comes walking into class. The poor girl had a black eye and bruises up and down her arms. Her left hand was wrapped up.

Tiffany winces when she sits down in her seat. She was trying to hold the tears back that were threatening to leak from her eyes. She was shivering from the ordeal she had to deal with this morning and was still in shock.

Nora turns around and notices Tiffany had come in, while she was writing on the blackboard. She could tell the poor girl was badly beaten. She walks over to Tiffany “what happened Tiffany?”

Tiffany looks up at her favorite teacher “my dad. He, he beat and molested me this morning. When my mother found out what he did, he beat her and told me to leave. he said if I call the police, he would kill her.”

Tears start streaming out of Tiffany’s eyes. She wraps her arms around Nora’s waist and buried her face against her stomach. She let the tears come.

Nora holds the poor girl. She knew Tiffany had family problems, but she didn’t know her father would have gone this far. She couldn’t do anything, but she knew who could.

“Tiffany, is this the first time your father molested you?” Nora couldn’t stand parents who molested their children.

Tiffany shakes her head no. She was trembling and didn’t know what to do. She tried to tell her mother, but her father said she was lying. Her mother didn’t believe her, until today when she caught him fucking her in the bathroom. She had just gotten out of the shower and he grabbed her.

“Tiffany, let’s get you down to the nurse.” Nora tries to help Tiffany out of her seat.

Tiffany was a little reluctant to leave the safety of the classroom and Nora. She walks with Nora out of the classroom and down to the school nurse office. Nora knocks on the door, before entering.

“Come in.” Nurse Abbey was answering a few emails.

She looks up at the door as it opened. She spotted Nora escorting a young teenage girl with dark burnette hair coloring walking into her office. Nora was holding her.

“What happened?” Abbey walks over to Nora and the girl.

“She was beaten and raped by her father.” Nora had her arms around Tiffany, holding her. She could still feel the poor girl crying and shivering against her.

“Let me take a look at her.” Nurse Abbey goes to remove Tiffany from Nora, but couldn’t.

The poor thing didn’t want to let go of Nora. Nurse Abbey looks at Nora for help.

“Tiffany, you need to let Nurse Abbey look you over. I will be right here with you. I won’t go anywhere.”

Tiffany looks up at Nora, she came up to her chin. She knew Mrs. Midnight always kept her word. She lets go of Nora and goes with Nurse Abbey to be looked after.

Nora watches as Nurse Abbey took Tiffany to be looked after. While Tiffany was with Nurse Abbey, Nora calls the main office and ask Vice Principle Bones to look after her class. Once she was done with arranging for the Vice Principle to teach her class. Nora calls her friend Officer Hopkins.

Detective Hopkins was just getting into the police precinct when his cellphone starts ringing.

“Fuck! I haven’t even had a sip of my coffee.” He looks at the number and notices it was Nora’s number.

He accepts the call “hello Nora. What can I do for you on this gloomy rainy morning?”

“Can you come down to the school, please? One of my students was beaten and raped by her father this morning.” Nora was barely controlling her anger.

Detective Hopkins squeezes his coffee cup. He was glad it was made of stainless steel, because there would had been coffee everywhere. If there was one thing he hated most, were young girls being raped, and being abused. His own daughter had been raped by one of her professors while in college.

“Alright, I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

“Thanks, Hopkins.” Nora ends the call.

Melody had heard something about where the kids were getting the drugs and wanted to tell her mother. She had gone to her mother’s classroom, but she wasn’t there. Vice Principle Bones was inside her mother’s classroom teaching.

She takes her cellphone out and texts her mother what she has learned. She heads towards her first bell class. Melody makes it, just before the bell rang.

A few minutes after Nora ended her phone call with Detective Hopkin’s. She receives a text from her daughter Melody. The text informed her that one of the food trucks was supply drugs to their high school and the other high schools. She didn’t know which one exactly, but all she did know. It was a green Mexican truck.

Nora goes back into the nurse’s office to check on Tiffany. She spots Nurse Abbey coming out of the room they reserve for students to wait on their parents.

“How is she?” Nora was concerned.

“She got some tearing and I did a rape kit test on her. I’ve taken pictures and everything. It might be best if she goes by a hospital.” Nurse Abbey felt it might be best if Tiffany had a hospital look at her.

Detective Hopkin arrives at Nora’s high school. The rain had slacked off some, but it was still raining. He makes his way to the school office and afterward towards the nurse’s office. When he walks in, he saw an older woman.

Abbey was filling out some school report about Tiffany’s rape. She needed to file it, so the school isn’t held liable for not doing anything. Nora was in the other room with Tiffany, holding her.

Abbey looks up and spot an middle age man with brown hair “Can I help you?”

“Yes, I’m looking for Nora Midnight.” Detective Hopkins watched the woman before him.

“She’s with a student right now. Is there anything I can do for you?” Nurse Abbey wonders if this was the police friend Nora spoke so highly of.

“Well, she called me about a girl that had been raped. Is the girl here in your office/”?

“Yes, Nora is with her. Let me get her for you.” Nurse Abbey heads into the next room to get Nora.

Warehouse District, Memphis, Tenn.:
Sasha was driving the delivery van, while Hex was in the back monitoring the cell activity in the area. They were picking up a lot, but not what they were looking for.

“Hex, do you remember exactly where the warehouse was you infiltrated?” Sasha glances back towards him.

“Yes, we’re almost there.” Hex was watching where they were from the concealed cameras on the outside of the van.

Sasha drives a few more blocks. She wonders how long the gang has been operating out in the warehouse district.

“Make a left and go up a block. I’m picking something up.” Hex was getting something on her equipment.

Sasha makes the left hand turn and goes up one block. She keeps her eyes out and spots a roadblock off.

“Hex, check with the city and see if Argonne street is supposed to be blocked off.” Sasha slows down.

“Checking.” Hex hacks into the city computer system and checks to see if any repairs had been issued for the street.

It takes a while to go through several firewalls and other computer systems before she breaks into the right system. She accesses the files for maintenance and goes through the listings for street repairs.

“That street isn’t supposed to be blocked off, Sasha.” Hex looks towards Sasha.

She saw Sasha with a pair of binoculars in her hands, as she looked through the front windshield. She notices that Sasha had spotted
something in a certain direction.

“Hex do you have any drones or cameras?” Sasha looks towards Hex.

“Unfortunately, no. I never thought about using drones.” Hex should have thought about that. They could be useful.

“Well, this should be interesting.” Sasha strips out of the clothes covering her outfit.

“What are you thinking about?” Hex couldn’t believe Sasha was stripping out of her clothes.

“I’m going to do recon.” Sasha pulls out her specialty items.

“If that is the case, wear this. I can see what you see.” Hex hands Sasha a pair of Google glasses.

“This looks like a pair of Google glasses.” Sasha accepts them.

“They are, but I increased the range on them. So, I can see what you see.” Hex presses a button on her console.

Sasha puts the glasses on as she leaves the van. She moves quickly and silently from one building to another building like a ghost. She spotted several snipers and lookouts. These might be gangsters, but they were well organized.

“Hex, are you getting this?”

“Yeah, they have beefed up security since I was last there.” Hex was seeing the same thing as Sasha.

Hex was amazed at how fast Sasha was moving through the area. She wonders where Sasha got her training. She notices Sasha tossing something at a guard and he drops like a rag doll.

“What was that?”

“Knockout gas. Are you picking up any signal from here?” Sasha was watching two guards.

“Not yet. He isn’t using his cell.” The cell reception where Sasha was, was dead.

“Alright, I’m going to go inside and plant a few bugs.” Sasha moves quickly towards the building.

Sasha moves quickly through the building. This was way to easy for her. These guys might have the manpower to stop most forces coming towards them, but they weren't experienced soldiers or agents. They had too many holes in their security setup.

Sasha plants a few bugs in the office area and the bathroom. Experience has shown her that guys like to talk when they are taking a pee. She also plants a few remote-controlled explosive balls that she can activate to explode.

Sasha spots several of the guards and what looks like the guy in charge all have the same type of phones. She manages to get close to one guy and lift the cellphone out of his pocket, without being noticed.

“You make that look easy.” Hex just shakes her head as she watched Sasha lift the guy's cellphone.

“Years of experience, plus its what I do for a living.” A smile appears on Sasha’s face.

Sasha watches from a concealed spot, as one of the guards pulls a girl that was about her daughter’s age off the process line. He takes her into a room that has just a mattress on the floor. Just as he was pulling his pants down to have sex with the girl. He passes out and falls forward onto the girl’s body.

“You're not bring the girl, are you?” Hex had seen what Sasha did.

“Yes, don’t worry about it either. Meet me in ten minutes.” Sasha picks the girl up.

The stench coming off the girl was terrible. She smelled like someone had washed her body in urine. She also noticed the girl had track marks on her arm.

Sasha just shakes her head as she moves with the girl hanging over her shoulder. It made moving a little bit difficult, but she was able to slip out of the warehouse and meet Hex.

Hex spots Sasha coming towards her carrying a Mexican teenage girl over her shoulder. The poor girl was just in her bra and panties. When Sasha comes into the van with her, she could smell how ripe the girl was.

“Get us out here, Hex.” Sasha pulls a device from her purse.

She scans the girl’s fingers and watches as the device she uses runs her fingerprint. The device beeps letting her know there was no match.

“Hex, head to 1425 Spring Leaf Ave.”

“Okay, do I want to know why?” Hex was curious.

“I’ll tell you when we get there.” Sasha takes a picture of the girl and sends it to her aunt to run.

San Simeon, CA:
Andy looks at the back of his naked best friend and wife as she stood looking out towards the ocean. His bedroom faced the ocean and he loved the sound of the waves as they crashed against the shore. He was still getting over the fact that his childhood friend had been turned into an ancient Egyptian woman by an alien device.

He walks up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist and kiss her neck. He loved how her skin felt against his.

“How are you feeling this morning?”

“Very, very sore.” Billy enjoyed the sex she has been having since being changed.

She didn’t know if it was because of what the alien device did to her or if it was just natural. Whatever it was, she didn’t care. Because having sex with her best friend felt right.

Andy inhaled Billy’s scent and loved how she smelled. His hands roam over her ample breasts and puffy nipples. He loved how big her breasts were.

As they stood embraced and looking out his bedroom window, his cellphone starts ringing. Andy looks over towards his phone, which was laying on the table on his side of the bed. He recognized the ring tone he assigned to his cousin Sasha.

He stops fondling Billy and walks over and picks it up “hello Sasha, you have bad timing.’

“Let me guess, you and Billy were going at it like rabbits?”

“No, now what can I do for you?” Andy wonders what his cousin wanted.

“I need to ask a big favor of you and Billy. I came across a girl from Mexico working in a drug process lab. She has no family or relatives that I or your mother have been able to find. I was wondering if you and Billy would let her come and live with you two and maybe later adopt her as your daughter?”

“You’re asking a lot. Billy is still getting use to her new form.”

“I know, but with the way the current political climate is in Washington D.C, I would hate to see this girl put in one of those concentration camps.”

Andy looks towards Billy as she continued to look out towards the ocean. He wanted to help his cousin out.

“Alright, Billy and I will come and get her. Where are you?”

“Memphis, Tn. I’m working on a case down here.” Sasha paces around in the waiting room at the private hospital her aunt owned.

“Alright, let me inform Billy and I should be in town by midnight, tonight.” Andy knew they would have to take the helicopter from his ranch to
the airport. Then they would take the Lear Jet owned by his mother to Memphis.

“Thanks, Andy. I’ll see you when you get here.” Sasha ends the call.

She looks over towards Hex and watches how he moved. There was something wrong with his body language, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

“Well, that is taken care of.” Sasha walks over towards Hex.

Hex looks up when Sasha spoke. She had been talking to her brother in the lobby of a private hospital Sasha’s aunt owns in Memphis, Tn.
They had transported the Mexican girl Sasha carried out and brought to the hospital. Hex thought the way her parents treated her was bad. The poor girl they brought in smelled to high heaven.

“So, what do we do now?” Hex looks at Sasha.

“We kidnap the leader of the gang that is processing the drugs and have some fun torturing him. I want to know who he is getting the drugs from and how they are being transported to him. We need to shut the supplier and the supply chain down.”

“You do know, he isn’t going to tell you anything. Most drug dealer or gang leaders are hard to exact information from.”

“They have never been interrogated by me before.” Sasha makes a fireball appear in her hand.

Hex wonders how Sasha was creating the fireball in her hand. After a few seconds, the fireball disappears.

“How did you do that?”

“Magic. Now, let's go and see how Mrs. Midnight is doing?” Sasha left instructions with the head nurse to contact her if the girl wakes up.

Tiffany and Nora:

Tiffany sat quietly in the passenger seat of Nora’s car. She had visited her mother in the hospital after they had checked on her. Her mother was in the hospital from the beating her father had given her mother. Her mother asked Nora to look after her while she was in the hospital.

That was only one piece of bad news she received. The second piece had been that she was pregnant. She doesn’t remember her father having sex with her at all. According to the doctor that examined her, she was three months along.

Detective Hopkins went and arrested her father at work. He made sure everyone at her father’s work knew why he was being arrested. The Detective didn’t say anything about her father raping her, but he did make it clear that the people her father worked with knew he beat her mother. She was going to spend a few weeks in the hospital.

Nora looks over towards Tiffany and felt sorry for the poor girl. Her father had raped her and impregnated her without her knowing. She wonders why Tiffany’s father did what he did to his own daughter. Most of Tiffany’s relatives lived on the east coast and it was going to be a few weeks or more before they could come and watch Tiffany.

She pulls into her driveway besides Kelly’s car. She had taken off work early to pick up Melody, Ginger, and Carol from school.

“Are you going to be okay Tiffany?” She watches Tiffany.

“Yes, ma’am.” Tiffany wipes the tears away from her eyes.

“I’m going to put you in Christine’s bedroom with Carol. I have a spare cot you can sleep on.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Midnight.” Tiffany turns to look at Nora.

“You’re welcome and when we aren’t in school, you call me, Nora.” A smile appears on Nora’s face.

The two of them head inside the house. When they walk in, they noticed Ginger, Carol, and Melody sitting at the dining room table doing homework.

“Carol, can you come here, please?” Nora looks at Carol.

“Yes, ma’am.” Carol puts her pencil down and follows Nora and Tiffany.

Once they were in Christine’s bedroom “Carol, Tiffany is going to be sleeping in here with you. I’m going to get the spare cot out and set-up it up in here with you.”

“Okay.” A smile appears on Carol’s youthful face.

“I’ll let you two get to know each other.” Nora places a kiss on each girl’s cheek.

Afterward, she walks out and into the kitchen to help Kelly fix dinner.

Hex’s house:
Hex didn’t want to get out of bed. It was raining heavily outside and according to the plan Sasha laid out last night. She and Sasha were going to kidnap the leader of the gang and make him talk.

She just lays there in bed watching the rain come down. She didn’t want to get up, but she needed to check her system to see what calls it recorded from the gang they were after.

Hex finally gets out of bed and put her house robe on. She heads to the kitchen and fixes herself an expresso. She loved her new expresso machine. Once she has her coffee, she heads back upstairs to her workroom and sits down at her computer. She clicks on the recorded file and starts listening to the different calls from the cellphones she was monitoring.

Private Hospital, Memphis, Tn.:
Rosa watches as the streets and buildings pass by as she looks out the passenger side window. She had woken up in a hospital with monitors and IV’s connected to her arm. She had on a blue hospital gown.

At first, she panics thinking that the place was going to harvest her organs. She has seen places like that down in Mexico when she was forced to have sex with men. Some of the men her and the other girls that were with her, would lure men in. Some men from the cartel would be waiting to take them to have their organs removed. Some of the girls had disappeared like that. They had been taken and had their organs removed.

She thought that was what was going to happen to her before one of the nurses came in. She reassured her that they weren’t going to do that to her.

“Rosa, you’re going to love living with my older cousin and his wife. They have a ranch by the sea in California.” Sasha had seen that Rosa
was in deep thought.

Rosa’s thoughts are interrupted by what Sasha said. She turns to look at her “what does your cousin do?”

“He owns a private security company that provides bodyguards and such to world leaders and famous movie stars. His wife is an archeologist
that studies Egyptian artifacts. You’ll like her.”

“Where are you taking me?” Rosa was wondering where the red hair woman was taking her.

“I am taking you to meet my cousin and his wife. They are flying in from California and they should be landing soon.” Sasha takes the exit she needs towards the airport.

Midnight, Private Hangar, General DeWitt Spain Airport, Memphis, Tn.:
Billy stops kissing Andy when she feels the plane lands. She wanted to experience sex, while they were in the air. She never experiences it when she uses to be a man, but now that she was a woman she wanted too.

“You better check your lipstick, Billy.” Andy gives her a cheshire grin.

Billy pulls her mirror out and checks her lipstick. She fixes it before they come to a complete stop.

“You know, this is going to be weird for me being a mother. I don’t know the first thing about being a mom.” As she puts her make-up away.

“Don’t worry. My mother and yours will help you. I’m surprised your parents took what happened to you so calmly.”

“That’s because my mother has always wanted a girl, but she only gave birth to boys. It’s my brothers that I’m a little concerned about.”

“Well, you have me and my siblings to back you up.” Andy feels the plane come to a complete stop.

“Are we staying Mr. Blake or heading out again?” Earl asks from the cockpit.

“We’re leaving and heading to the Mountain complex.”

“Alright, I’ll get us refueled and ready to go.”

“Thanks, Earl.” Andy walks out of the Lear with Billy right behind him.

Sasha pulls into the private hangar and spots her cousin and Billy waiting for her. She hasn’t seen Billy since he was turned into a woman. If she wasn’t already married and had children, she would ask Billy out.

Rosa spots a blonde hair man dressed in a pair of jeans and a standard dress shirt. Next to him was a beautiful light brown skin woman with straight black hair. Her chest was bigger than Sasha’s and a lot curvier as well. She was shorter than the blonde hair guy.

Sasha stops the car “I hope you're not afraid of flying Rosa. Your new family will be taking you to meet my aunt and afterward probably head back to California.”

Rosa looks at Sasha “I’ve never been on a plane before.”

“Well, you’ll like it. Also, your new grandmother will be spoiling you rotten.” Sasha knew how her Aunt Janet was going to spoil her granddaughter.

She spoiled Rose and Gracie when they came to live with her. She also, spoiled her new little brother as well. Her aunt loved having a big family.

Sasha and her cousin, Billy, and Rosa talk for a few minutes. They get back on the plane, with Sasha watching them. Once they were loaded up and taxiing out of the hangar. Sasha gets in her car and heads back to her hotel.

0800 hrs, Sasha’s Hotel Room:
Sasha hits the snooze button on her cellphone. She pulls the covers back over her head and closes her eyes. She was happy that her cousin was going to let Rosa live with him and Billy. What information she did manage to extract from Rosa, she was an orphan and had been having sex since she was ten years old.

She knew her aunt Janet was going to give her a medical exam, once they arrive at the mountain complex. She knows her aunt will put Rosa on a special diet to rebuild her body. She grabs her cellphone and looks at the pictures of her girls. Rose and Gracie.

Rose was traveling with her band mates, under the watchful eyes of her manager. Gracie was attending summer camp for girls. Her wife and band mates were selecting songs they made to put on their new album.

Sasha finally managed to drag herself out of bed and stretch to loosen some of her muscles up. She glances out her window and notices how heavy it was raining. She hopes the rain will slack off tonight, so she and Hex can kidnap the drug lord. She also wonders how Nora was doing with so many girls in her home.

Nora felt Kelly’s arm holding her. She could hear the rain as it came down outside. She loved feeling Kelly holding her. She caresses Kelly’s arm as they cuddle under the blankets.

Their house was getting crowded with four girls in it. Christine has been talking about staying in Hawaii. Nora couldn’t blame her, the weather was nice and she could go to the beach any time she wanted too. She knew Cheshire would pay to have Christine’s things shipped for her.

Kelly places a kiss on Nora’s left shoulder. She could tell that Nora was in deep thought about something.

“What are you thinking about, sweetie?”

“That we are going to need a bigger house.” Nora turns around to face Kelly.

She could feel Kelly’s ample breasts pressing against her own moderate ones. They had gone to bed in the nude last night, instead of putting nightgowns on. She stares into Kelly’s eyes.

“True, I think Carol wants to stay with us, instead of her family. I know you said that Tiffany’s mother asked us to take her in until she is feeling better. However, I have a feeling she’ll want to stay with us as well.”

“If she does or doesn’t is fine with me. It’s going to take time for her mother to recover from the abuse her husband had done to her. So, if
Tiffany wants to stay with us until she is eighteen years old, it's fine with me.”

“I’m not saying she can’t, Nora. I do agree with you that we will need a bigger place.”

“Christine has been talking about staying in Hawaii, we will have to pack her stuff up here and at her studio as well.” Nora was still looking into Kelly’s beautiful eyes.

“Well, if Christine wants to stay in Hawaii, we could turn her bedroom into either Carol’s and Tiffany’s room or Carol and Melody’s room. I’ve noticed the two of them have been getting closer.”

“I’ve noticed that as well. However, that is going to have to wait until this case is over. Sasha and Hex are planning on kidnapping the local gang leader. He’s selling the drugs killing my students and other people.”

“You’re not going to join them?” Kelly was surprised her wife wasn’t going to join them.

“I didn’t think it was necessary, but now that you brought it up. It might be best, I did join them.” Nora hadn’t planned on kidnapping the gang
leader with Sasha, but it might be best if she did. She still didn’t know much about the boy named Hex that was helping them. She’ll get a snapshot of Hex and call her friend Lewis at the local police department to find out about Hex.

“Do you think any of the girls are up?” Kelly was curious because she wanted to fool around with Nora.

“Nope, I don’t think any of them are awake.” Nora kisses Kelly.

The next hour or so, the two of them fool around in bed for a while. Nora enjoys it when Kelly dominates her. Normally, Nora dominates Kelly, but today she was enjoying Kelly taking charge.

Ginger wakes up and looks over towards Melody and notices she was still asleep. She carefully gets out of bed and slips her house robe on.
Her midsection was still hurting her, but it was getting better. Ever since people at school were taking drugs, it seemed that the gangs in the area were getting worst.

She makes it to the bathroom and sits down on the toilet. She couldn’t wait to have her surgery and join the Marines as her birth mother had. She knew Nora supported her decision.

Carol opens her eyes and notices that Tiffany had crawled in bed with her. She remembered Tiffany having nightmares, last night. She had
been woken up because of Tiffany tossing and turning. She even set up in bed.

Carol saw how surprised Tiffany had been when she discovered she had male parts. Tiffany calmed down after Carol explained that she was transgender and hated being male. She even told Tiffany she was jealous of her.

They talked for a while before they finally fell asleep. Carol strokes Tiffany’s hair and held her close. The poor girl was pregnant, because of her father. The thing was, she couldn’t remember how it happened. She thought her father just recently raped her, but according to the doctor that examined her, he had raped her earlier.

By 10:00 am, everyone was up and having breakfast. Melody and Carol were helping Kelly and Nora in the kitchen fixing breakfast.

“How about we have a movie day since the weather is bad outside?” Kelly looks at all the girls.

“Okay.” Carol didn’t mind.

“Can we rent some movies off Google and such?” Ginger knew a few new ones she wanted to watch.

“Yes, you girls can pick two movies each you want to watch.” Nora figures with four girls picking movies, that should give them eight hours of
movie watching.

Once the kitchen was cleaned, everyone moves to the living room and takes their favorite places. They went from oldest to youngest for each girl to make their selection and play order. While the girls were watching the movies, Nora texts Sasha informing her that she was coming with them tonight.

Sasha’s Hotel room:
Sasha was down in the pool area of the hotel when she hears her cellphone beep. She finishes the lap she was doing and climb out of the pool to check the message. She looks at it and notices that Nora was informing her that she was coming with her and Hex tonight when they kidnap the gang leader.

The plan was, to kidnap him while he was at his home. She had found out where he lived from the special tracker she slipped onto him. So, they were planning to grab him between midnight and two in the morning.

After Sasha finishes the text. She walks back over to the pool and dives back into the water. She needed to finish her laps.

Sasha was watching a movie when her cellphone starts ringing. She glances at the number and notices it was Dr. Dole’s number. She wonders what he wanted from her.

“Hello, Dr. Dole. What can I do for you?”

“How about its what I can do for you, Sasha?”

“Okay, what information do you have for me?” Sasha wonders what information, Dr. Dole has for her.

“How about the location of Andrew McKinley? He’s trying to locate the chemicals he needs to remove some dye. I figured that had to be your handy work.” Dr. Dole knew Sasha used all sorts of dirty tricks.

“Okay, you have my attention now. What do you want in return for the information?”

“Oh, say some more medical supplies and a place I can set up a new underground hospital.”

“The medical supplies are no problem, but locating a place you can set up an underground hospital is a different story.”

“How about I find the building and you supply it with what I need to run the place?” Dr. Dole figures Sasha could help out with that.

“That’s fine. If the information pans out I’ll talk with my suppliers to get everything you need to set the place up.”

“Deal. He’s held up at 5215 Derek Ln. It’s an old warehouse that belongs to Axon Corporation. I think you know who the Axon corporation is?”

“Yep, I know who they are. It’s a front for Kenny "Quick Draw" Murphy. He’s a pain in the ass in these areas.” Sasha heard about Murphy.

He was into extortion, smuggling, insurance protection, and arms dealing. He might be a local mob boss, but he still was a pain in the ass. He tried to make her pay insurance and she sent his men packing. She made sure he understood she wasn’t the type to play games with.

“Alright, thanks.” Sasha ends the call.

Sasha checks the time and saw she had time to go and check the address out. She changes out of the clothes she had on and into her special suit. She arms herself and slips on her overcoat. She grabs her car keys and heads down to her car. She calls Nora, letting her know where she was going. She figures Nora would want to know.

Nora’s Resident:
Nora was watching a movie with her family when her cellphone start ringing. She picks it up and notices it was Sasha’s number.

“What can I do for you Mrs. Wolfhart?”

“How would you like to go after Andrew McKinley, before we grab the drug dealer?”

“I would love to get my hands on him. Do you know where he is?”

“Yes, I have his location. If you can be ready in fifteen minutes. I can come by and pick you up.”

“I’ll be ready.”

“Alright, I’m on my way.” Sasha ends the call.

Nora gets up and heads towards her bedroom. She starts stripping out of her clothes.

“Where are you off too?” Kelly had followed Nora into their bedroom.

Sasha has a lead on the man that killed Carol’s parents, and who tried to kill her at the funeral.” Nora slips on her bodysuit. She notices it was a little tighter than it uses to be.

Kelly just grins as she watches Nora put her suit on. She knew Nora worked out, but she was putting on a little weight lately.

Nora noticed Kelly smirking at her “don’t say it. I need to exercise more.”

“Or you're just bloated because its that time of the month for you.” Kelly had a smile on her face.

“You know I love you.” Nora walks over and puts her gun belt on.

“Yes, so be careful and come back home in one piece.” Kelly kisses Nora on the lips.

Nora returns the kiss and walks out of her bedroom. She stops in the living room and looks at the girls.

“You girls behave while I’m gone.”

“Where are you going. Mom?” Ginger looks towards Nora with a concerned look on her face.

“To arrest the man who killed Carol’s parents.” Nora looks towards Carol.

Carol looks back towards Nora “you found him?”

“The person I’m working with found him. She’ll be here in a few minutes and we will be going after him.” Nora knew the person would be better off dead, but she planned on arresting him.

“Be a careful mom.” Ginger gets up and gives Nora a hug.

Melody does the same thing, along with Carol and Tiffany as well. Nora notices a set of headlights pulling up into her driveway.

“Be careful sweetie.” Kelly kisses Nora one more time.

“I will.” Nora heads out and notices Sasha sitting in her car, dressed in a beige overcoat.

Sasha notices Nora was dressed in a tight black bodysuit, wearing a gun belt with guns on each hip. She watches as Nora gets into the car.

“I see, this isn’t your first rodeo.” Sasha backs the car out of the driveway and starts heading towards the address she was given.

“Nope, but I had never planned on doing this when I retired and became a school teacher.” Nora only did this type of work, because Cheshire asked her.

“What did you use to do?” Sasha already knew what Nora did.

“I was a DSS agent. Have you always been a performer?” Nora looked Sasha up.

“Yep, always. I also do special work for my Aunt.”

“Who is your aunt?” Nora was curious.

“She’s part owner of Blake Medical and Pharmaceutical.”

“So, how does that have something with you acting as an agent?” Nora was puzzled.

“Because she has a special contract with the Justice Department. She handles contracts that the FBI, DHS, and the rest of the alphabet
agencies can’t handle or are too busy to handle.”

“So, you got this assignment from your aunt?” Nora looks at Sasha as she drove.

“Nope, we just happened to cross paths and I want to capture his ass and make him pay for the people he has killed.”

“Well, just promise me, you're not going to go full Rambo on this guy.”

“I’m leaving that to you, Mrs. Midnight. My revenge can wait. It’s nothing to how you are feeling probably for shooting at your family and for
killing that young girl’s family.” Sasha knew how she would feel if someone went after Gracie and Rose.

A slow smile appears on Nora’s face. She was going to make this man pay for shooting at her family and for killing Carol’s parents.

Andrew McKinley was happy when he got the chemicals, he needed to remove the bright neon pink dye that red hair bitch had stained him with. The chemicals left his skin a little paler then he was normally. He had to shave his head completely bald in order to remove all the dye. Whatever she used to cover him that awful itching powder, has made his skin blotchy and red. He wanted revenge on that red hair woman. He takes another shower to remove the residue still on his skin from the chemicals.

Sasha and Nora make their way to the building Sasha had been given. Sasha was impressed with how Nora used the shadows as well as she did. She couldn’t believe how Nora just blended with the darkness. It seemed that the background file she received on Mrs. Midnight, didn’t do her justice. Because Mrs. Midnight moved like an experienced assassin.

Sasha catches up with Nora “you move like you were born to the darkness.”

A smirk appears on Nora’s face “I had a good teacher. If anyone was born to the darkness, it would have been my teacher.”

“So, why did you become a teacher?”

“Got tired of killing people and I miss being home. Plus, I was getting tired of the BS.” Nora enjoyed her assignment to the German diplomat.

“How about you? Why do you do this? According to what I know of you, you’re a talented guitar player and a professional performer with your illusions and such?”

“To quote one of my favorite television characters, I do it for the jazz.” Sasha loved Hannibal Smith from the A-Team television series.

Nora just shakes her head. The two of them had decided to drop in from the roof of the building. They knew the doors would be wired with cameras and alarms. Not that it matters much, because she could disable them, and she figured Sasha could as well. She scales the wall with Sasha towards the roof.

Once they were on the roof, they find a locked door that leads back down, as well the elevator mechanical room. Sasha looks towards Nora “which one?”

“Let’s try the roof access door.” Nora walks over towards the door.

Sasha follows behind her. She watches as Nora examines the door to see if it was wired.

“Looks like it isn’t wired.” Nora pulls her lock picks out and unlocks the door.

It opened into a dark corridor with stairs leading down. To the right of them was the mechanical room door that leads to the elevator controls. The two of them move quietly down the stairs to where the office that McKinley was supposed to be using was.

Sasha points towards a camera that pointed towards the door. She pulls a hollowed reed out and hits it with a black paintball.

“That should blind the camera.” She moves up to the door with Nora following behind her.

Sasha kneels and pulls out a little endoscope and slide it under the door. She connects it to her cell phone to check the door and on the other side of the door. The door had a deadlock and wasn’t wired.

“Breaking in should be easy.” Nora was looking at the image on Sasha’s cell screen.

“I could fill the place with a knock out gas and we could carry his unconscious body away and have some fun.” Sasha liked that idea.

“Let’s see how he likes us being here first.” Nora wouldn’t mind torturing Mr. McKinley for shooting at her family and Carol.

Sasha picks the deadbolt and unlocks the door. She opens it carefully and slips inside. Nora follows behind her and shuts the door behind her quietly. Both women could hear a shower going and spot several boxes that looked like they had supplies of chemicals and food items in them.

”Oh, I could have so much fun with him right now.” Sasha was whispering to Nora.

Sasha had several devilish ideas going through her head, it was getting her exciting. She wanted to play some tricks so badly on McKinley.

“Let’s wait for him to come out. Why don’t you get his attention and I’ll surprise him?” Nora wanted to surprise McKinley.

“Killjoy.” Sasha finds a good spot to surprise McKinley.

McKinley comes out of the bathroom still a little wet but feeling better. He has been thinking of ways to get back at Mrs. Wolfhart when he spots her standing in the middle of the room.

“Boy! Talk about catching you with your pants down. This is just really pathetic.” Sasha had a smile on her face.

McKinley stood before her with just a towel around his waist. He pulls his gun from behind him and points it at her.

“How in the hell did you find me?” He was ready to shoot the bitch.

A smile appears on Sasha’s face “easily, but I’m not the person you stood be worrying about right now.”

“Why’s that, bitch?” McKinley so wanted to shoot Sasha.

“Because the pissed off mother behind you wants to have her fun first.” Sasha spotted Nora standing behind McKinley.

McKinley turns around to see who Sasha was talking about. Just as he finished turning to look at Nora.

“Surprised, asshole!” Nora punches McKinley as hard as she could.

McKinley's head whips to the left as Nora’s gloved hand connected with his jaw. It was followed up by another blow to his jaw and a punch to his breadbasket, knocking the wind out of him and sending him to the floor.

Sasha just stood and watched as Nora went to work on McKinley. In her opinion, he was getting off easy with her pounding him like a slab of raw meat.

“Easy, Nora. I think he has had enough of a pounding.” Sasha had to grab Nora’s hand. She could tell Nora wanted to make this man pay for
shooting at her family.

Nora stops when she felt her arm grabbed by Sasha. She was still pissed that McKinley shot at her family, especially at Carol. She was also pissed because he had killed Carol’s parents.

McKinley’s face was bloody and split into certain areas where Nora’s fist had connected with it. He knew he had several loose and broken teeth and his jaw was hurting.

“Bitch! You almost broke my fucking jaw.”

“Here, let me finish it then.” A loud crack could be heard where Sasha kicks his jaw at the right spot and breaks it completely.

Nora looks at Sasha “why did you break his jaw?”

“Because he asked for it. I figure since you already started it, I should grant him his wish.” Sasha rolls McKinley over onto his stomach and zip tie his hands.

Nora makes a call and fifteen minutes later a transport team shows up to haul McKinley away. Nora and Sasha just watch as he is hauled off to the black projects prison.

“One down and one to go.”

“Yeah, we better go and meet up with Hex for the next one.”

As the two women are walking back to Sasha’s rental “does Hex seem a little strange to you?”

“In what way?” Nora was curious.

“That I don’t think he is really a he, but a she in disguise? I mean I have two daughters and I know you have at least two transgender girls. It’s just the way Hex moves is off and some of his physical features are off as well.” Sasha has been observing Hex when he is around her.

“I haven’t really paid that much attention to him. Let’s see how he reacts tonight, and I’ll let you know.”

“Alright.” As Sasha gets in on the driver's side of the car.

Nora gets in on the passenger side and once she is secure. Sasha drives them towards Hex’s place.

Hex’s Place:
Hex was dressed all in black. She also puts on the police vest she stole. She takes one of the guns, she took from the drug dealer they were going to kidnap tonight. She checks the van she plans on taking for the kidnapping. She was feeling nervous and excited because she has never done anything like this before.

Once she was finished checking the van and making sure all the fluids were full and the tire pressure was right. She looks at her wristwatch and noticed it was twenty till one in the morning. She wonders where Mrs. Midnight and Mrs. Wolfhart was. She pulls her cellphone out and was about to dial their numbers when she hears the doorbell ring. She switches to her RING app to see who was at the front door. Standing out front was Mrs. Midnight and Mrs. Wolfhart.

She heads towards the front door and opens it “I was wondering when you ladies were going to get here.”

“We had another problem to solve, that came up.” Sasha looks at Hex and the way he was dressed.

He had on a black bodysuit and wearing a pair of black tennis shoes. He also was wearing a gun belt with a gun on his right hip and a police vest. The belt had smaller pockets that must contain other gadgets or tools for Hex. She noticed he had two spare magazines for the gun.

Nora also notices how Hex was dressed. She had to admit that Sasha’s guess about Hex not being a boy made sense. Hex’s hips seem to be smaller than a normal boy his age would be. The bodysuit showed off his long shapely legs.

“Are we going or staying?” Hex was getting impatient just standing around in his place.

“We’re going, Hex. Just give us a few seconds.” Sasha checks her cellphone. Her crew had sent her a text message letting her know the tank was set up.

An evil smile appears on Sasha’s face. She was going to have fun interrogating the drug lord.

“Alright, let’s go.” Sasha looks at Nora and Hex.

Nora was curious about why an evil smile appeared on Sasha’s face. She follows Hex and Sasha out to the black van they were going to take. Nora takes the passenger seat, while Hex drove. Sasha sat in the back as they drove over to the drug dealer's house. His place was in the bad part of Memphis, Tn.

The thing was, they had scouted the place out and knew where they could stash the van. After twenty minutes of driving, they arrive at there location. They park the van somewhere safe

“Hex, stay here with the van and wait for our signal.” Sasha slips out the back door of the van.

Nora looks at Hex “be careful and wait for us to signal you.”

“Alright.” Hex didn’t like the fact she was being left behind to be the getaway driver, but she figures Nora and Sasha must know what they were doing.

Nora catches up with Sasha “so what’s the plan?”

“Knock them out and walk out the front door with the drug lord.”

“How are you going to knock them out?” Nora was curious.

“Specially designed knockout gas. My mother came up with the formula when she uses to do this type of work. I improved on her formula.”

“So, you’re going to gas everyone?” Nora watches as Sasha moves.

“Yep, I toss these golf ball size balls into the house and let the gas do the work. The gas won’t hurt the occupants, it will just put them to sleep.”
Sasha dashes towards the shadow of the next house to the one they were heading to.

Sasha hands at least six balls to Nora “here, take these. Press the middle and count to ten. Once the gas releases, we have to wait a few minutes for the place to clear.”

Nora accepts them and finds where she has to press. She breaks off from Sasha and heads towards the back of the house, where six guys were sitting around playing poker. She spots an opened window and presses the middle of the ball and count to ten. She tosses the ball in and just as it hit the floor, it starts spraying the gas.

Sasha finds a few windows that were opened and tosses several balls inside the house. She also tosses a few through several glass windows. Several guys try to get to their guns but are knocked out before they can move. She meets back up with Nora at the front of the house.

“See how easy that is? No one shooting at us and we don’t have to break a nail.”

“How would you handle it, if you didn’t have your little gas ball?” Nora wonders if Sasha relies on her gadgets too much.

“Oh, I would just use some other trick up my sleeve. After all, I am a stage magician and misdirections and distractions are what I am good at.” Sasha starts walking towards the house.

When they walk inside, Nora and Sasha couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Their children passed out on the sofa that had been playing video games in the living room. In the kitchen they were packaging cocaine and mixing the powder cocaine with fentanyl. They were also counting money as well.

Sasha walks over to the cabinets and find a garbage bag and put all the money inside it. She a few other places and find the hidden money that was there.

“You’re not keeping that, are you?” Nora looks at Sasha with a serious look on her face.

“Nope, I’m giving it to a bunch of charities that can do some good with it. As for the drugs, I know a place we can get rid of it.” Sasha packs all the drugs up as well.

Nora finds the guy they came for. As for the rest of the gang, she zips ties them. She spots Sasha drawing facial features on the others that were knocked out.

“How long does your gas last?”

“At least an hour. They will wake up feeling fully refreshed.” Sasha looks over towards the kids that were asleep. She felt sorry for them. She
would never do something like this to her girls.

“Hey, you want to give me a hand with this guy?” Nora was trying to pick-up the person they came for.

“No problem.” Sasha signals Hex to come and pick them up.

The Van:
Hex had watched as Mrs. Midnight and Mrs. Wolfhart disappeared into the darkness. She kept a close watch out around her. She taps on the steering wheel and wonders how long it was going to take Nora and Sasha to apprehend the person they came after.

She glances at her watch and noticed fifteen minutes have passed since Nora and Sasha had left her. She doesn’t hear any gunfire or explosions. She tries to calm down and hope everything is okay.

Hex hears her cellphone start beeping after another twenty minutes. She knew that was the signal for her to come and pick them up. She starts the engine up and heads over towards the house. She spots Nora and Sasha outside with a person between them and several bags as well. Hex wonders what could be in the bags, as she pulls up to the curb. She gets out to help them.

“What’s with the bags?”

“It’s their money and drugs.” Sasha tosses everything into the van carefully.

Once they were loaded up and driving away from the drug house. Hex wonders how much they found.

“So, where too, Sasha?” Hex glances at Sasha since she was in the back.

“5741 Oak King Road.”

Hex punches the address into his google map app and follows the directions. He wonders why they were heading there. He follows the directions and finally arrives. It took them about thirty minutes to arrive.

The place looked like it uses to be an old garage. Sasha gets out and walks up to the metal door. She inputs the combination on the lock and lifts the heavy metal door up. She turns around and motions for Hex to drive inside.

Hex drives inside the building and it was bigger inside, then it looked outside. She turns the van off and gets out.

“What is this place?” Hex was looking around and spot a clear square tank in the middle of the room with a platform around the top of it.

“It’s a storage place my mom owns.”

Nora spotted the clear square tank with a frame going the top of it. She has seen that setup before as a stage magicians act. She wonders if that was what Sasha had planned for their drug lord.

“Hey Hex, can you give me a hand moving this guy?” Sasha looks at Hex.

“Sure.” Hex walks over to help Sasha.

The guy was big and heavy. He had to adjust how he carried the guy a few times.

“What are you going to do with him?” Nora follows Hex and Sasha as they carried the guy.

“I’m going to give him a chance to tell us everything we need to know before that tank fills up with water.”

Hex looks at Sasha “you’re going to drown him?”

“No, but I’m going to let him think I am. See, that tank has a trick floor, so I can drain all the water out of it quickly. It’s sitting over a drain. I thought about using electric eels, but I figure he’ll get the message and talk.”

“Oh, you are mean.” Nora had a playful smile on her face.

“I could encase him in a block of jello.” Sasha takes the zip strip off and put a set of handcuffs on him and lift the unconscious drug dealer up.

Between Sasha and Hex, they manage to lift the drug dealer up and into the tank. Sasha secures the top and hooks the fire hose up to fill the tank. She climbs back down and taps on the glass of the tank.

Pablo slowly starts waking up. He hears a tapping on the glass in front of him. He freaks out when he realizes he isn’t in his house with his guards and friends. He looks at the two women and young boys looking at him. He notices his hands are secured with handcuffs.

“Good morning sleepy head. Did you sleep well?” Sasha had a smile on her face.

“Who fuck are you bitch and how did I get here?” The last thing he remembered was playing poker with his men.

“Well, Puff the Magic Dragon brought you here to me. He said you have been a very naughty boy and need to be punished.” Sasha was
enjoying messing with Pablo.

“You better let me out of here bitch. Do you know who I am and what will happen to you?” Pablo was getting pissed with the red hair woman.

“Oh, I’m so scared of you.” Sasha does a fake shiver.

Pablo just glares at Sasha. He looks at the floor he was sitting on and saw that it was some sort of grate. The tank itself was taller then he was and smooth. There was nothing for him to grab onto.

Sasha taps the glass to get Pablo’s attention. She was ready to get started with the interrogation.

Pablo turns his attention back to the red hair woman “WHAT!”

“Tell me who supplies you with drugs and where do you get them from.”

“I ain’t telling you shit, bitch.” Pablo was pissed.

“Wrong answer.” Sasha presses a button to let the water flow into the tank.

Pablo shivers when he feels the cold water start filling the tank he was in. He bangs against the glass, but it doesn’t do any good. He looks at the red-haired woman and the Hispanic woman watching him.

Nora and Hex watched as the tank start filling with water. They wonder when Sasha was going to stop it from filling.

“You said you weren’t going to let him drown.” Hex walks over to Sasha.

“And I’m not going too, but he doesn’t know that. Besides, the water is only up to his knees.”

Nora walks up to the tank. She doesn’t think she could be as cool as Sasha. Sure, she has done somethings with shock collars and such, but making a person think they are going to drown, is a new thing.

Sasha stops the water when it gets to Pablo’s waist “now, do you want me to continue or are you going to talk?”

“Go fuck yourself, bitch!” Pablo glares as Sasha.

“Okay!” Sasha turns the water on again.

Pablo watches as the cold water starts filling the tank again. He knows if he talks, he’ll be killed. The thing is, does he want to go out drowning or chance being shot. He tries to swim to the top of the tank, where the hatch is. He sees the water getting higher and higher. It stops just a foot away from the top.

“Well?” Sasha looks at Pablo to see if he was going to see how serious she is.

He gives her the middle finger. Pablo was going to see if she would do it.

“Okay.” Sasha pushes the button.

The water starts flowing again. Sasha wasn’t going to back down.

“Sasha, we need him alive.” Nora was ready to shoot the tank to let the water out.

“He’ll talk.” Sasha watches as the gets to full and Pablo floats around inside.

Sasha, Nora, and Hex noticed he was holding his breath. Hex looks at Sasha “aren’t you going to release the water?”

“In a few minutes.” Sasha knew how long she could hold her breath. She watches as Pablo starts losing air.

Pablo bangs against the glass. He was losing air. He looks at her and nods his head. The next thing he feels is the water draining out pretty
quickly, but stops at his waist.

“You better talk, or next time I won’t be so nice.”

“I’ll talk. My supplier is Gomez Xavier with the Tijuana Cartel. He brings it up from Tijuana into Texas and then up the Mississippi River, through New Orleans.”

“What’s his connection to McKinley?” Sasha needed the information.

“He kept us informed about ICE and DEA movements, so we could avoid them. He also supplied us with information on Coast Guard patrol routes.”

“Why did he killed that DEA agent family and tried to kill his child as well.” Nora wanted to know why McKinley did what he did.

“Because McKinley found out that the DEA agent figured out his connection to us.”

Nora was tempted to take the control Sasha had and drown Pablo inside the tank. Carol lost her family because of greed and drugs. She couldn’t believe someone would destroy a family for those reasons.

Hex could see that Nora was thinking about something. She was so quiet and there was eerie sense to her. As for Sasha, she wonders what she was going to do next.

Sasha pulls her cellphone out and presses the number 8 on her phone. She waits a few minutes “I have a pickup for you. Take the package to the local police station. I’ll have the evidence for you.”

Hex wonders who Sasha just called “who were you talking too?”

“A transport company. They are going to come and take Mr. Pablo here to a nice jail cell, along with some of these drugs and pictures.”

“Let me go, bitch. You got what you wanted.”

“And you got what you wanted as well. A second chance on life. Do better this time around or I’ll come back and finish what I started.”

Hex, Sasha, and Nora turned around leave the warehouse.

Hex’s Place:
Hex, Nora, and Sasha arrive back at her place. She pulls the van into the garage and parks it. Hex looks at Nora and Sasha. She couldn’t believe that Sasha was willing to drown the person they captured.

“Sasha, what would you had done if Pablo wouldn’t had talked?” Hex was curious.

“Oh, I have all sorts of things I could have done. The thing is, everyone has a breaking point. You just have to know or care for how far you are willing to go to find it.” Sasha had numerous techniques she was capable doing.

Nora just looks at Sasha and wonders how far she was willing to go to retrieve information from someone. The young woman looked like she was willing to do what it took to get the information. At one time she use to be like that, but now she didn’t want to travel down that path no more.

Sasha looks at Hex and Nora and noticed they both were looking at her.

“What? Do I have something on my face?”

“No, you're fine. I better get back to my family, before they worry.” Nora figures Kelly was still up waiting on her.

“Before we leave. I have something for the two of you.” Sasha pulls out two backstage passes to her performance.

“These passes will grant you backstage access to any performance I do. It will also allow your family as well.” Sasha hands the passes to Nora and Hex.

“Thank you.” As Nora accepts hers.

“Thanks.” Hex accepts hers as well.

“Here, take this as well Hex. If you need anything or get into any trouble. Call the number on the card and tell them Wild Fire gave it to you.” Sasha hands a card with holographic flames on it.

Nora and Sasha head towards Sasha’s rental card. She unlocks it as they approach.

“So, what is the next job after this?” Nora gets into the car.

“After the performance, you mean?”

“Yeah.” Nora fastens her seat belt.

“I’ll be heading back to California and check on my apprentice and spend some time with my wife and girls.”

“You have children?” Nora was a little surprised at that.

“Yes, I have a teenage daughter that is turning seventeen years old and another one that is turning twelve years old. My seventeen-year-old is touring with her friends in the band.”

“Your daughter is a performer like you?” Nora was curious.

“Not exactly like me. My oldest is a singer like my wife is in our band. My youngest is into gymnastic and dancing.” Sasha was proud of Gracie and Rose.

“So, one is following you in your rock career, but the other isn’t?”

“Yes, Gracie is a good backup singer and player, but she doesn’t have her older sister's talent. Neither of my girls wants to be what I am. That is why I have an apprentice. She is going to take over my actions, once I retire from this for a while.”

“Is your apprentice going to be an agent like you?” Nora was curious.

“Maybe, I don’t know yet. I’ll see how she handles being a stage magician first and offers the job to her afterward.” Sasha already knew Ethan
was going to do good as a performer.

Sasha pulls up in front of Nora’s House house after a while. She looks at Nora “are any of your girls going to follow in your footsteps?”

“My oldest is staying in Hawaii and is a special effects artist. My next oldest wants to join the Marines and become a drill instructor like her birth mother was. My next oldest hasn’t decided what she wants to do. Now, that this matter is over with, I’m going to have another child who is transgender. As for my newest daughter, she is pregnant with her father’s child, after he raped her. Whatever she wants to do, I’ll support.”

Nora had no idea what Tiffany wanted to do with her life, yet. Now, it's going to be complicated with having a baby from her father. She and Kelly already talked and they would adopt the child ass their own if Tiffany doesn’t want to keep it.

“Your newest daughter was raped by her birth father? Why didn’t she tell anyone?”

“She didn’t know he had impregnated her. He must have knocked her out or something. All we do know, he tried raping her recently.”

“That’s terrible. My youngest was raped by a man. I burned his manhood off.” Sasha remembered when she found Gracie.

A councilman had paid some human smugglers to have sex with her. The man had torn her vagina and she had to have surgery to repair the damage he did to her. It was nothing compared with what she had done to his penis and testicles. She burned them off with her gift.

“Ouch! You're vicious when you get pissed off, aren’t you?” Nora looks at Sasha.

“I don’t like pedophiles. Gracie was ten years old at the time and was raped by an overweight man in his fifties. I think he was lucky I didn’t turn him into human barbecue.”

“What did you use? A flame thrower?” Nora was curious.

“No, I was born with the ability to control fires. I can enhance a burning flame or make it do what I want it to do. So, I used my gift to burn his manhood off.”

“Damn! I never thought people like that existed.” Nora remembered watching Fire Starter, but she always thought it was just science fiction.

“It’s extremely rare and dangerous. I was lucky my mother and aunt knew about my gift and taught me how to use control it.” Sasha remembered the lessons her aunt and mother gave her in controlling her gift.

“You’re a walking weapon yourself.”

“Yeah, I am. I have my gift and my hand-to-hand training thanks to my parents.”

“It's been nice working with you, Sasha Wolfhart and thank you for the backstage pass as well.”

“You’re welcome. You take care and take care of your daughters.”

“I will. See you later and have a nice night.” Nora gets out fo the car and heads inside her house.

She checks on her daughters and afterward heads towards her bedroom, where she finds Kelly was still awake. She was reading a book.

“Did everything go okay?” Kelly closes her book.

“Yes. Carol is finally safe and the person making and selling the drugs has been taken care of as well.” Nora starts stripping out of her bodysuit. She takes her gun belt off and hangs it up in her closet.

“Did you find out why her parents were killed?”

“Yes, I did.” Once Nora was finally undressed and had her nightgown on.

She gets into bed and gives her wife a kiss.

Hex’s Place:
Hex stretches as she gets out of bed and heads down towards her kitchen. As she walks in, she turns the television on and tunes it to the local news station. There was a report of local police bust of a local drug manufacturing spot. According to the reports, an anonymous caller had told them of the place and sent them pictures of the location.

“Yeah right, an anonymous informant. I bet Sasha had something to do with it.” Hex fixes herself a cup of coffee.

She was glad this mission was over. She grabs a pop-tart out of the cabinet and sits down at her kitchen table to enjoy her coffee and pop-tart.
While she is eating, she wonders what Sasha and Nora are doing? She also wonders, what she was going to do now, that she helped bring the drug gang down.

Hex just sits there and continues to listen to the news and ponder what she should do. She had enough money squirreled away that she didn’t have to work, if she didn’t want too. She finishes her coffee and heads back up to her work, after detouring to her bedroom to change out of her nightclothes and into a pair of sweats. She’ll go visit her friends later.

Nora’s House:
Nora smacks the alarm clock as it goes off. It was the weekend and since she got in late last night. She didn’t want to get out of bed. She feels Kelly snuggled up against her. She closes her eyes and goes back to sleep.

She doesn’t feel Kelly gets out of bed. A few hours later, she wakes up and discovers that Kelly was gone. Nora gets out of bed and dashes to the bathroom. Her bladder was ready to release its contents.

Once she was done in the bathroom, Nora heads towards the kitchen. She spots Tiffany and Carol working on their homework in the living room. She waves to both her girls, as she walks into the kitchen. She’ll get a cup of coffee or two in her first before she tells Carol the good news.

Kelly spots her wife coming into the kitchen “coffee is already, ready for you.”

“Thanks.” Nora grabs her favorite mug the girls gave her that said the best MOM in the world.

Kelly watches her wife as she makes her coffee. She didn’t have the heart to wake her when she got up.

“Where are Ginger and Melody?” Nora was curious where her two oldest were.

“Ginger is visiting her boyfriend and Melody is out with a few friends from school. So, when are you going to talk to Carol?” Kelly looks at Nora
with a curious look on her face.

“When I have my second cup of coffee. You know I don’t do too well without my coffee.” Nora takes a sip from her mug.

Kelly walks over and places a kiss on Nora’s cheek. She had things she needed to get done.

“Well, don’t take to long to tell her. She and Tiffany were talking about going out after they finish their homework.”

“I won’t.” Nora takes another sip of her coffee.

After Nora finishes her first cup of coffee. She makes herself a second cup and grabs a muffin from the ones Ginger baked a few days ago. She eats the muffin and drinks her second cup of coffee.

Once she is finished, she heads to the living room and spot Melody finishing up their school work. She waits till they put their books away.

“Carol, can I speak to you in my office please?”

Carol was putting her books away when she hears Nora’s voice. She looks over towards her “yes ma’am.”

She follows Nora into her home office. She wonders what Nora wanted to talk to her about.

“Shut the door behind you, please.” Nora stops in front of her desk and sits down in the second leather chair in front of her desk.

Carol walks over and stands in front of Nora. She has been enjoying the fact that Nora has been letting her wear girl clothes.

“Please sit down, Carol. I have some good news for you.”

Carol sits down in the second leather chair and looks at Nora “does this have anything to do with my parents’ death?”

“Yes, it does.”

Once Carol was sitting and was comfortable. Nora thinks about what she is going to say before she speaks.

“The person who killed your parents has been caught and taken care of, Carol. You won’t have them coming after you anymore.”

Carol gets up and jumps into Nora’s arms. She holds onto her as tears leak from her eyes.

“Thank you, mom.” Carol just holds onto Nora and cries.

"You’re welcome, sweetie.” Nora places a kiss on Carol’s forehead as she holds Carol.

Carol and Nora spend some time in her office, before coming out. Tiffany was waiting for Carol, so they could go to the mall with Kelly. Kelly grabs her car keys to take them.

“You girls have fun.” Nora gives each girl a hug before they leave.

“Are you going to be alright, while we’re gone?” Kelly was a little concern about her wife.

“I’ll be fine. I have papers to grade and enter.” A smile appears on Nora’s face.

“Alright.” Kelly walks out of the house with Carol and Tiffany following her.
