Christine watched as Nora, Ginger, Melody, and Kelly boarded the Lear Jet. She was going to miss them as she watches them lift off into the air. She wishes she was going with them, but Kelly and Nora were going to be busy to spend time with her while she was recovering.

Tizzy, her husband Ikaika, Krisha and Cheshire watch as her private Lear liftoff. Cheshire was proud how Nora’s life has turned out. She knew at one time because the nature of the assignments Nora was sent on had taken a toll on Nora.

“So, who’s hungry?” Tizzy was feeling hungry.

“Your always hungry sis.” Krisha looks over towards her older sister.

Since she was rescued by her and the Bounty’s, her life has changed. She loved her adopted mother and her brother-in-law. Her adopted mother and Tizzy have helped her adjust to being a girl. She never asked to be turned into one, but now that she was one. She was learning that she enjoyed it.

“I wouldn’t mind something to eat.” Christine was hungry.

“You need to take it easy, Christine.” Tizzy remembered how she felt after her surgery.

“I know, but hospital food sucked. I could go for something more flavorful.” Christine looks towards Tizzy and her husband as they drove away from the airport.

“Tizzy, stop at Louie Louie please.” Cheshire figures Christine might like the food there.

“Okay, mom.” Tizzy drives them to Louie Louie.

The owner of the restaurant named it after the song and the wrestler Captain Lou. Since it’s opening, it has done extremely well.

“Oh, you are so going to be spoiled Christine.” Tizzy loved the food from Louie Louie.

Ikaika sits next to his wife and watches as she drove. Sometimes her driving scared him. He braces as she turns a corner.

“Cheshire, has Tizzy always been this bad at driving?” Christine looks over towards Cheshire.

“Yes, I have no idea how she got her license. I had to take out an extra insurance policy on my cars.” Cheshire knew her daughter had a lead foot and it got worse since she became a police officer.

“Hey, I’m not as bad as Julia.” Tizzy slows down as she pulls into the parking lot and park.

“You guys haven’t ridden with Kelly or Nora.” Christine still felt sore from her operation.

Cheshire and Krisha help Christine out of the SUV. They head towards the restaurant. Once inside they are met by a young woman.

Sera recognized Mrs. Patel and her daughters “it’s so nice to see you again Mrs. Patel.”

“Thank you, Sera. If it is possible. I would like my normal table.” Cheshire had a table she preferred when she came to the restaurant.

“It’s available. If you’ll follow me, please.” Sera leads Cheshire over to her favorite table.

“Thank you, Sera.” They follow her to the table and take a seat.

Christine notices that Tizzy and Cheshire choose seats that faced the door. Ikaika sits next to his wife, while Krisha sits next to her mother.
Christine was the only one that really had her back to the crowd.

Their waitress comes over and take their drink order. Once she leaves to fetch their orders.

“How is the special effects business?” Tizzy knew Christine did special effects.

“It’s fun. I went to Hollywood to work on a movie set. We had to make some adjustments to the mask the actors were wearing.” Christine hopes she still has a job.

“That must have been fun.” Krisha was curious about what Christine did.

“It is, I have a lot of fun doing it. I just hope I still have a job after I’m completely healed.”

“You should, Christine. I don’t think your employer will fire you.” Cheshire did her research on Christine’s boss and knew he would honor his word about her position.

Their meals arrive. Cheshire shares some of hers with Krisha, so she could get a taste of something new. Christine ordered a traditional Polynesian meal. Tizzy and her husband were sharing a little of each other’s plate.

Christine looks towards Ikaika “Ikaika, you work with big game cats at the zoo. What made you want to chase after a mouse?”

Ikaika looks at Christine with a smile on his face “she might be a mouse, but she has the courage and heart of a Tiger.” He kisses Tizzy’s cheek.

“Oh, good answer.” Tizzy returns the kiss.

The rest of dinner goes by nicely as they enjoy each other’s company. As they are walking towards the SUV, a man comes running towards
them being chased by two police officers. As he gets closer to the group, Tizzy tackles him and takes him down to the ground.

“Don’t move.” As she takes her cuffs out and handcuffs him.

The two police officers that had been chasing the perp change cuffs with Tizzy, after getting her information. When they pick the perp up off the ground. He looks at Tizzy with an angry look on his face.

“You just made a big mistake, bitch!” There was hatred in his eyes.

“It won’t be the first one I have made.” Tizzy let an evil smile appear on her face.

“Lock him up.” Tizzy watches as the two police officers escort him back down to their cruiser.

“I think you made an enemy, Tizzy.” Christine had seen how the perp had looked at Tizzy.

“I’m not worry about him. If I worried about every insult a perp sent my way, I would never arrest them.” Tizzy knew the insults were part of the job.

Cheshire doesn’t say anything. She had picked up on something that neither Tizzy or the police had.

“Don’t you ever get scared sis?” Krisha looks towards her older sister.

“There was only one time I got scared, Krisha. It was when the building blew-up around me and our cousins.” Tizzy still has nightmares of that day.

They load into the SUV and head towards Cheshire’s house. Tizzy still needed to feed Simba and Krisha still needed to feed the leopards.
When they get home, Krisha heads into the house first. She wanted to stop the twins before they charged towards the door.

Cheshire walks in next and heads out back with her son-in-law and daughter in tow. They prepare food for Shur Khan and Simba. It doesn’t take Shur Khan and Simba long to come out of the jungle to eat. Cheshire bought the land behind her house, so the Ligers or Tigers she raises can feel at home.

Inside the house, Christine helps Krisha with the twins. The twins rush Krisha and Christine.

“Alright, alright, I’m going to feed you two.” Krisha fixes one bowl and Christine fixes the other bowl.

They separate the twins to feed them. If they didn’t, Kit would steal Kat’s food.

“I don’t know how you two do this day in and day out.” Christine watches as all the cats eat.

“I’m used to it. I’ve been doing it since I was adopted. Plus, I love my putty cat.” Tizzy shakes Simba’s head as she hugs him.

Her and Ikaika groom Simba and Shur Khan after they finish eating. Simba let’s Ikaika groom him, while Shur Khan lets Tizzy groom him. Both cats rub against Ikaika and Tizzy.

Christine stands at the doorway and watch them with the big cats. Krisha comes walking outside and over to the two big cats. She scratches them in their favorite spots.

Krisha has been doing well since she came to live with Cheshire. She liked her big sister and her husband. She loved her ballet classes. She had a recital coming up soon and she had a solo performance in it.

While they were enjoying a movie, Tizzy’s cell phone rings. She looks at the number and notices it was her boss.

“Hey Gaige, what’s up?” Tizzy was looking for her shoes.

She had taken them off to curl up next to her husband. Tizzy finally finds them and slip them on.

“I need for you to go to 1235 Waakua Pl. We have a murder there.” Gaige already had Tizzy’s partner heading there.

“Alright, I’ll meet you there.” Tizzy looks at her husband and everyone else.

“I have to go guys.” Tizzy hated leaving her husband, sister and mother.

Cheshire and Ikaika walks Tizzy outside to her car “you be careful, sweetie.” As he gives her a kiss.

“I will.” Tizzy hugs her mother.

“Come back safe.” Cheshire places a kiss on Tizzy’s cheek.

Ikaika and Cheshire watches as Tizzy drives off. Ikaika worries about Tizzy when they call her at night.

“Do you ever worry when Tizzy goes out to a crime scene at night, Cheshire?” Ikaika looks at his mother-in-law.

“After what happened in Memphis, now I do. Before, I never worried because I knew she could take care of herself.” Cheshire almost lost her
daughter in Memphis. She took her anger out and time with the person responsible for almost killing her.

Jack was ready to kill Marin Jones right away, but Cheshire wanted to take her time making him pay for what he did. She was concerned that Tizzy would remain in a coma for a while. She turns around and head back inside.

Ikaika walks behind Cheshire and noticed how she moved like a cat hunting for their prey. He had asked Tizzy once what Cheshire did. Her answer had been, she researched large game cats.

Tizzy arrives at the crime scene. She spots her boss and partner inside as she walks up.

“So, what do we have and what do we know?” Tizzy walks up to her partner.

Keith Jardine looks at his partner as she arrives. He had arrived before her and was being caught up by their boss.

“We have one dead young working woman. She looks to be in her later twenties and shot three times.” He was looking at the bullet wounds and the grouping of them.

“What do we know about her?” Tizzy was observing the dead body.

She was in her bra and panties. Tizzy looks around for the shells for the gun that shot her but doesn’t find any.

“Looks like whoever shot her, is a professional. They policed their brass.” Tizzy looks around the house they were at and finds only the woman’s belongings.

Once the coroner takes the body away. Tizzy and her partner leave afterwards. She heads back to her mother’s place where her husband was waiting for her.

When she pulls into the driveway, she notices all the lights were off. Which meant that everyone was in bed. She walks in and moves quietly to her old bedroom. She saw her husband in the new bed they had bought asleep. Kit was laying on the foot of the bed, curled up.

Tizzy scratches him between his ears as she undresses and slip into her night shirt. She snuggles up against her husband. She feels Ikaika wrap his arms around her trim body and hold her against his body. She loved being in his arms.

Morning time comes around, her alarm clock goes off. She smacks it and goes back to sleep. She didn’t want to get out of bed or move from being held by her husband. Tizzy felt her husband’s hardon pressing against her butt cheek.

Tizzy moves her lower body so, he slips into her body. She begins sliding up and down, trying to get rhythm going. She feels his arm tighten around her body as he matches her rhythm and before long the two of them come at the same time.

“Good morning, to you as well.” As Ikaika kisses Tizzy.

“Mmm, that was a very good morning wake-up.” Tizzy loved how she felt.

“Kit, its breakfast time.” Krisha opens Tizzy’s and Ikaika’s bedroom door.

She knows Kit likes sleeping with the two of them. When Krisha opens the door, she spots her sister and brother-in-law kissing each other and Tizzy’s night shirt laying on the floor near the bed.

“Oopp’s sorry sis.” Krisha spots Kit and motions for him to follow her out.

Tizzy and Ikaika didn’t bother stop kissing. They didn’t even acknowledge that Krisha was at the bedroom door watching them.

“Come on Kit.”

The male snow leopard jumps down off the bed and heads towards Krisha. It walks pass her and into the hallway. Krisha shuts Tizzy’s door and look down at Kit.

“Why do you keep sleeping in there?” As she starts walking towards the kitchen to feed the two snow leopards.

Christine was in the kitchen making coffee for the house. She spots Krisha coming into the kitchen.

“Shur-Khan, Simba and Kat are eating.” Christine decided to feed the two game cats and the other snow leopard.

“Thanks, Christine.” Krisha puts some food in Kit’s food bowl and puts him on the back porch away from Kat’s food bowl.

“Where is mom?” Krisha looks around for her mother.

“She left this morning to handle some business.” Christine had run into her coming out of her bedroom.

“I wonder what mom is up to?” As Krisha starts fixing herself some breakfast.

“You better hurry or your going to miss your school bus.” Christine knew Krisha was enrolled in a private school.

“I still have time.” Krisha knew it wouldn’t be at the house for another hour.

Even if she missed it, Tizzy could get her there on time with the sirens in her car. Ikaika could take her as well. Krisha fixes herself some quick breakfast and head into her bedroom afterwards to get ready.

Tizzy and Ikaika finally come out of their bedroom, fully dress and ready for work. Tizzy had a glow about her. She walks over and grabs a cup of coffee.

She spots Christine, but not her mother or Krisha. She looks around for the two “where’s my mom and Krisha?”

“Your mom left early this morning, saying she had some business to attend too. Krisha is in her bedroom, getting ready for school. Also, the
kitty cats have been fed.” Christine takes a sip from her coffee.

“Are you going to be okay, till my mother gets back?” Tizzy knew how it felt after having gender reassignment surgery.

Tizzy knew Christine was still recovering from her surgery. That was why she didn’t fly back with Nora and her family.

“I’ll be fine, Tizzy.” Christine gives Tizzy a hug.

Christine was glad that she managed to rescue Tizzy and her cousins that day. She needs to remember to ask Tizzy or Cheshire about those three wolves that had been there that day.

Krisha comes walking back into the kitchen fully dress and ready for school.

“Krisha, you’re riding with Ikaika today.” Tizzy figures her sister would love that.

“Cool, is he picking me up, or are you?” As Krisha holds her hand out for her lunch money.

“I am.” As Tizzy gives Krisha a ten-dollar bill.

“Cool.” Krisha liked it when Tizzy and her partner picked her up from school.

“Come on kiddo, let’s get you to school and me to work.” Ikaika comes walking into the kitchen and fills up his coffee cup to take with him.

Christine watches as they leave the house. She locks the front door and heads to take a nice relaxing bath. She knows, no one would be stupid to try to break into this house with the big cats out back.

Cheshire:
Cheshire had gone into Honolulu to do some business. She had an office in one of the buildings down near the beach. As she enters her office, she sits down at her desk and checks her email. She saw a message from Ginger asking if she could give her email address to a friend of hers at school that wanted to know more about big game cats.

Cheshire sends her the assumed name that she publishes her books under. She also does a background check on the boy to see what type of person he was. She finds a few you tube videos of him surfing and of him pretending he was an explorer like Steven Irwin.

Cheshire got a laugh out of the videos. The kid really sounded like Mr. Irwin. He had Stevens speech and accent down. She thinks about sending the kid some of her books.

Tizzy and Keith:
Tizzy picks her partner up at his house. When she walks into his house, she was attacked immediately by his youngest.

“Tizzy, tizzy.” Little Tiffany runs over to Tizzy as she walks in.

Tizzy picks Tiffany up off the floor “how is my favorite niece doing?” as she tickles her.

“Misbehaving as always.” Sherry walks over to get her little girl.

Tizzy hands Tiffany over to her mother “little girls, will be little girls. Just think, next year she’ll be starting school.”

“I’ll be happy when she does. I also can’t wait, till this one is born. This one is going to be my last child.” As she lays her hand on her belly.

“Don’t tell Keith. I think he is hoping he’ll get one more boy.” Tizzy knew Keith had one boy and one girl so far. Keith and his wife didn't want to know what their third child will be.

“If he wants a fourth child. He can give birth to it.” Sherry escorts Tizzy into the living room.

She puts Tiffany in her play pen. Sherry turns around and looks at Tizzy “so, have you and Ikaika talked about having kids?”

“Yes, but we are going to adopt. I can’t have kids.”

“Oh, Tizzy I’m sorry to hear that.” Sherry thinks Tizzy would make a wonderful mother.

“It’s okay. My mother couldn’t have children and adopted me and my little sister. So, its fine.” Tizzy loved her mother very much. She saved her life that day she thought about killing herself.

Her partner Keith finally shows up. She notices his tie was crooked.

“It’s about time. I think Sherry thinks I wanted to take you away and have you all to myself.” Tizzy smirks.

“You can have him, Tizzy. I’m done with him. I’ll take your husband, instead.” Sherry just smile as she walks over and gives Keith a kiss.

“Come on partner, let’s go and have some fun. Bye Sherry.”

“Bye.” Sherry watches as her husband and his partner walk out of the house.

“So, anything new on the case?” As Keith drives Tizzy’s car to the station.

“All we know is, she is a prostitute that works for The Company.” Keith had seen their mark on her left shoulder.

“So, if she belongs to The Company, then who killed her and why?” Tizzy was curious.

“I think we can find that out by visiting one of their bars.” Keith knew where most men went to rent a woman for a night.

“Oh, goodie. I get to have some fun.” Tizzy slaps her hands together and starts rubbing them.

Keith looks over towards his partner “sometimes, you scare me.”

Tizzy just smirks “you think I scare you? You haven’t seen anything yet.”

An evil smile appears on her face, when she thinks about what her mother could or would do to anyone that got on her bad side. Even her Uncle Jack could be scary if you got on his bad side.

They pull up outside a club called DUECES. The place had two flashing neon playing cards in the window. Keith gets out first, followed by Tizzy.

Keith takes the lead as they walk into a half-lit strip joint. The music was blaring and women wearing just thong underwear were up on-stage dancing to the beat. Tizzy notices that some of them looked to be too young to be dancing in a joint like this place was. She makes a mental note to inquire about it later.

As they are about to walk in, they are stop by a huge muscular Samoan. He had a lot of tattoos on his body.

“Do you want to handle this, or should I?” Keith knew Tizzy’s husband was Samoan, so she knew how to deal with that culture best.

Tizzy looks at the guy “move aside. We’re here to talk with your boss.”

The guy doesn’t move at all. He just looks at her like she was nothing.

“I guess we do this, the other way.” Tizzy shows the tattoo she got from her husband’s people.

Ikaika’s family line has a holy man among them and he knew right away what she was. He gave her the tattoo himself. Tizzy shows the tattoo to the bouncer and he pales. He recognizes what it meant as he stepped aside to let her pass.

Keith was always amazed when Tizzy shows her tattoo. He had asked her one time what it meant, but she couldn’t tell him. The tattoo had meanings from her mother that she couldn’t reveal.

“One day, you really need to tell me what that tattoo means.” Keith follows behind Tizzy.

“I can’t tell you what it means, till my mother passes on.” Tizzy had to keep it quiet till her mother passed on.

Her mother had too many enemies that may try something. Her husband knows what her mother truly was and what she did. She had to tell him, about her mother.

The two of them walk into the strip joint and over to the VIP section, where a man who ran the place was. He wasn’t Hawaiian, but Chinese.
He looks at Tizzy and her partner as they approach.

“Officer Patel, Officer Jardine, it’s so nice to meet you. What can I do for you?” Rafa knew who Officer Patel was. She shut down a profitable sex trafficker and a bounty had been put on her head.

“We have questions for you Rafa about one of your girls.” Tizzy stops in front of him.

“Oh? Why do you assume she’s one of my girls?”

“Because I found your mark on her shoulder.” Keith saw last night.

“I have no idea what you are talking about.” Rafa wonders which of his girls they were talking about.

“So, you don’t know anything about this girl?” Tizzy brings up the girls face on her cell phone and shows Rafa.

Rafa looks at the picture of the woman and knew immediately who it was. He looks towards the two officers.

“That is Malia Napua and she left here with a business man by the name of Daniel Covern.” Rafa knew he shouldn’t had sent Malia with Covern.

“Do you know how we can get in touch with this Daniel Covern?” Tizzy had her notebook out to record his answers.

“No. He normally comes in here twice a week looking for a plaything for a couple of nights.”

“Thank you, Rafa.” Tizzy closes her notebook.

As they turned to walk off. Tizzy stops and turns around to look at Rafa “oh, by the way. I’m going to have a few police officers stop by and check your performers id’s. Some of them seem too young to be dancing in a strip club.”

She turns back around and head back to her car.

“Oh, you are so mean.” Keith gets in on the driver side.

“I know.” As Tizzy gets in.

Tizzy makes good on her threat as she calls for two patrol cars to come and check the strip club dancers.

Tizzy and Keith head back to the station to see what they could dig up on Daniel Covern. While Tizzy runs his name through DMV, Keith was looking for any past convictions.

“Well, this is interesting.” Keith had found out he had been arrested for raping a ten-year-old girl in California.

Which turned out to be his own daughter. He was arrested again for four counts of statutory rape and kidnapping in Washington state.

“Man, this guy is a piece of work. He’s a sexual predator.” Keith couldn’t believe he was out of jail and walking around.

Tizzy looks at her partner “how bad is his record?”

“Let’s just say I wouldn’t want him around any school or young girls.”

“Someone needs to put him down.” Tizzy manages to find an address in the DMV computer.

“I got an address. Let’s go and check it out.” Tizzy grabs her gun out of her desk drawer.

Keith locks his computer screen and follows his partner down to her car. She was about to go to the driver side “I’m driving this time. You’re worse than my wife.”

“I am not.” As Tizzy tosses her keys to Keith.

“How far out is the address?” Keith was wondering how long they were going to be gone.

“It’s out off of Kamehameha Hwy, in North Shore.” Tizzy figures she had a few hours before she had to pick her sister up from school.

Cheshire’s Office:
Cheshire was finishing up some files she was working on when she receives a knock on her office door. No one was supposed to know about this office. She looks at the camera just outside her door and notices who it was.

Cheshire presses the release button to let the person in. She watches as the door opens and a big white guy, with short black hair and gold rim glasses, walks in. A sly smile appears on her face as she recognizes who the person was.

Collin couldn’t believe he had to come to Hawaii to deliver a message. He was to deliver a message to the one woman his higher-ups fear. The message was to have her daughter back off investigating Daniel Covern.

“Hello, Collin. What brings you to Hawaii?” Cheshire was watching him like a tiger watches his prey.

“I have a polite request to ask of you.” Collin looks at Cheshire and could see why people were afraid of her.

There was this presence about her, that screamed danger. He knew her rep and her partner’s rep.

“What would that request be?”

“To have your daughter and her partner stop investigating Daniel Covern. He’s an asset of ours and we can’t afford to lose him.”

“Can’t do that. If he did something he shouldn’t have, then he needs to be taken care of. Also, I don’t interfere with my daughters’
investigations.” One of her famous smiles appears on her face. There was another reason the Cheshire name suited her.

“Cheshire, you need to interfere. If you don’t, the agency will have to step in.” Collins knew that would be a mistake.

Cheshire mood changes quickly. It went from being a little light-hearted to downright deadly “if anything happens to my daughter. I will
personally take it upon myself and hunt down everyone involved. Do I make myself clear?”

Collins looks at her and could see that there wasn’t any emotion showing in her eyes. He knew his next words better be right or she would
shoot him right where he stood.

“Look, Cheshire, this guy is important to our work and we can’t afford to have your daughter and her partner sticking their nose in our case. So,
the higher ups would like it if she shelved this investigation for now.” Collins was worried that if she didn’t. The higher ups would send someone like Cheshire after her.

Cheshire stands up out of her chair and walks around the desk to look at Collins. She moved with the grace of a lioness stalking their prey.
She stops a few inches from Collins “tell your superiors, that I’m not going to stop my daughter from investigating Daniel Covern. Even if I did, she wouldn't let this case go. She’s like a cat who is hunting their prey. That’s what makes her a good detective. Now, if anyone from the agency tries to take her out or does anything against her and her partner. They will be getting a visit from me and her. I might even call the Devil’s Bounty Hunter. Which if he gets involved, you know what will happen.”

Collins has seen his handy work down in South America. He left a Cartel’s leader head on a pike outside the man’s destroyed mansion.

“Fine, I’ll deliver your message.” He turns around to leave her office.

“Collin, if I catch any CIA agents or hired hitman tailing my daughter or going after her and her partner. There will be hell to pay.” Cheshire
meant every word. She’ll do anything to protect her children.

“Understood.” Collin walks out of Cheshire’s office.

35245 Kamehameha Hwy:
A young nude Japanese she-male comes stumbling out of the bedroom. She looks around and spotted the cocaine she came out and was looking for. She walks towards it and makes two lines and starts snorting the cocaine.

A few other she-males and women of various races comes out and spots the first woman snorting cocaine. They wait till she was done and start snorting the drug as well. Some of the women find some needles and inject the drug into their bodies.

A young girl with long black hair that was naked comes stumbling into the living room where the others were. She stumbles towards the kitchen, hoping there was some food to eat. She was extremely hungry. She spots some chicken, that must have been left over from the other day. She grabs it and heads out to the porch to eat it. She didn’t care that she was naked.

As she is sitting on the porch step, eating the chicken leg she found. She hears a car coming towards the house. She looks and spots a black car heading towards her.

As Keith was driving up a dirt road, he spots the house they were looking for. There was a nude girl sitting on the steps and it looked like she was eating chicken.

“Is that a nude girl, sitting there eating a piece of chicken?” Keith couldn’t believe it.

“I think it is.” Tizzy couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

The girl doesn’t do anything. She was hungry and if she didn’t eat the chicken she had. Someone would take it from her and finish it.

Keith comes to a stop in front of the house and gets out. He watches as Tizzy gets out as well.

“We’re with HPD and want to know if Daniel Covern lives here?” Tizzy couldn’t believe how the girl looked.

She was extremely skinny and looked like she had been abused. As Tizzy watched her, she cleaned the meat off the chicken leg. She was trying to break the bone open to get to the marrow inside. When she couldn’t break the bone, she tosses it.

She looks at Tizzy “he’s not here right now.”

Tizzy looks at the girl and she reminded her of a puppy that had been beaten all the time. She and Keith walk up the stairs to go inside the
house. As they entered the house, they spotted at least twelve or more nude women and she-males stoned out of their minds. There were all sorts of drugs either laying on counters or on the living room table.

“I think we're going to need a wagon for these people.” Tizzy couldn’t believe how stoned they were.

Some of them were in a little better shape than the girl they passed coming in. All she could figure was this place was some sort of brothel. Why no one on the force, haven’t heard about it, struck her as odd.

The girl outside that was sitting on the steps could hear sirens coming towards her location. She looks at the car the woman and a black man came in. She gets up and walks over to the car and climbs into the back seat since the car was unlocked. She didn’t want to go back to jail.
The reinforcements that Tizzy and Keith called for, shows up. So, did the ambulances they requested. As Keith and Tizzy walk back towards the car. Tizzy looks around and wonders where the girl they left sitting out on the steps had gone too.

All the people inside the house was so stoned, that they were useless. Tizzy wonders what they were going to do now. She and Keith get into her car.

“Well, there goes that lead.” Tizzy backs up and heads towards Krisha’s school to pick her up, to take her home.

The girl doesn’t move or make a sound. She’s learned to be quiet and invisible in order to survive. She listens to the conversion going on between the woman and the man.

Krisha stood outside waiting on her sister to come and pick her up. As she stands there waiting, a girl named Catlin comes walking over and stands with Krisha.

“Give it back.” Krisha looks at Catlin.

“How did you know?” As she hands over the brush, she took from Krisha.

“I knew, because my mother trained me. Plus, everyone in school knows you are a thief.” Krisha looks at Catlin.

“I can’t help it.”

Krisha glances at her friend. She should ask her mother to help her or train her. She figures it might help her.

“How about I talk with my mom and ask her if she’ll take you on as a student?” Krisha figures her mother might be able to help her friend Catlin.

“I thought your mother, worked with big game cats?” Catlin has met Krisha’s mother and she seemed to be a normal woman.

“There’s more to my mother than meets the eye. Let me ask her tonight and I’ll call you later.”

“Okay.” Catlin places a kiss on Krisha’s cheek and runs off to catch her ride.

Krisha just shakes her head. She spots her sister’s car coming towards the school. When her sister pulls up in front of her and stops. Her partner Keith gets out and when he moves the seat forward. She notices that there is a naked girl in the backseat.

“Who’s your friend?” As Krisha looks down at the naked girl hiding behind Tizzy.

“Tizzy, I think we found the missing girl.” Keith and Krisha were using their bodies to block anyone from seeing inside the car.

Tizzy glances behind her seat and spots the girl they talked to at the house. She was balled up in the small space between the back of Tizzy’s seat and the back seat.

“Krisha, get in.” Tizzy turns back around.

“Okay, sis.” Krisha climbs in and couldn’t believe there was a naked girl in her sisters’ car.

Keith gets into the car and looks over towards Tizzy “what are you going to do?”

“I’m taking her back to my mother’s place.”

“Well, drop me off at my place and let me know what you learn.” Keith figures he’ll leave this matter to his partner.

“Okay.” Tizzy heads towards Keith’s place and drops him off.

Krisha transfer to the passenger seat after Keith gets out of the car. She looks over towards Tizzy “what are you going to tell mom?”

“The truth. I learned a long time ago to never lie to mom. She can tell if you are lying.” Tizzy remembered the first and only time she lied to her mother.

The punishment she received was more then she could take. She loved her and hated the fact that Cheshire wouldn’t talk to her for a whole week.

“So, where did you pick the girl up?” Krisha had glances a few times to look at the girl.

“A case I’m working. I meet her at some sort of brothel.”

Krisha glances back towards the girl and wonders what was done to her. She was so skinny, that Krisha wonders how she was still alive. After fifteen minutes, they arrive home. They spot their mother’s car in the driveway.

Tizzy pulls her car up next to her mother’s. Just before she gets out of the car “have Christina come out and give me a hand.”

“Okay.” Krisha heads inside the house.

“Christina, Tizzy needs your help outside.” Krisha spotted Christina coming out of the gym/dance studio.

“No problem.” Christina had just gotten done with the exercises Cheshire had laid out for her.

She was dressed in a skimpy leotard she has been dying to wear. Since she had her operation. It didn’t fit her properly when she still had her
birth defect, but now it fits perfectly.

Christina walks outside and spots Tizzy by her car “what can I help you with, Tizzy?”

“I need for you to carry my things in, while I help a girl out of my car.” Tizzy points down towards her car.

Christina walks over and spots a naked white girl hiding behind the driver seat of Tizzy’s car. She wonders where Tizzy found the girl.

“You didn’t know she was in your car?” As Christina grabs Tizzy’s stuff.

“Nope, I had no idea she was there.” Tizzy kneels and looks at the girl

The girl opens her eyes and looks at the woman kneeling in front of her. She wonders what she is going to do to her. Is she going to beat her like the rest of the women did back at the house or do something worse to her?

Tizzy holds her hand out to the girl “come on, let's get you inside.”

The girl tentatively reaches her small hand out to gasp Tizzy’s hand. She feels Tizzy, softly gasp her hand and stand up, while gently pulling her out of the car.

“Come on, let's get you inside.” Tizzy leads the girl inside the house.

Christina couldn’t believe how skinny this girl was. Her bones were showing through her skin. She walks behind Tizzy and the girl as they headed towards the house.

Krisha spots her mom coming in from the backyard. Krisha wonders, why her mother was coming from the jungle? She spots Shur-Khan and Simba behind her.

“Mom, we have a guest, and also would you be willing to train a person I know?” Krisha watches her mother’s expression.

“Who would you like for me to train?” Cheshire was curious.

“Catlin Riddler. She needs to learn how not to steal from people. Everyone at school knows she steals. She has tried stealing from me, several
times, but I always notice it. She always gives back the stuff she stole from me when I ask her too.”

“How do her parents feel about her stealing?” Cheshire wonders if Catlin steals to try to get her parents attention.

“I don’t know. I do know that every time she gets in trouble, they bail her out.” Krisha remembered the last time the school tried to expel her.

“Which doesn’t solve the problem. Let me think about it and I’ll get back to you with my answer.” As Cheshire spots Tizzy escorting a naked white girl into the house.

Cheshire walks towards the girl and couldn’t believe what she was seeing. The poor thing was nothing, but skin and bones.

“Take her to my bathroom.” As Cheshire grabs a camera.

Cheshire and Tizzy look at the young girl that had hidden away in Tizzy’s police car. She was sound asleep on the hospital bed that Cheshire had taken her too. The private hospital had been the same one that Cheshire had taken Tizzy to when she first came to Hawaii.

“What have you found out about her?” Cheshire was curious about the young girl.

“Nothing, she has no criminal background. She’s not listed on any of the missing children or runaway databases. I asked Doctor Shipman to do a DNA test to see if we can match her DNA to anyone.” Tizzy couldn’t believe that there was no information out there about this girl.

She spoke to the women and she-males they arrested. All they could tell her about the girl was she was brought to the house about five months ago. At first, she wouldn’t do what the men that came to the house wanted, so Covern ordered the brothel madam to use drugs on her. After that, if she wouldn’t cooperate or put up too much of a fight. The madam and the rest of the people could do whatever they wanted to her,
Covern didn’t care.

“Does she have a name?”

“The madam said that the only name Covern told them to call her, was bitch. That was all she was worth.” Tizzy couldn’t believe that was her name.

The girl hadn’t talked much after they took her into the house and cleaned her up. While Tizzy took care of her, her mother went into the
kitchen and fixed the girl some food to eat. Nothing too heavy or greasy.

Tizzy’s cellphone starts ringing. She taps her earpiece “hello?”

“Hey, are you busy right now?” Keith had been called to a crime scene.

“What’s up?”

“You might want to join me. I found another body and you won’t believe who the person is?” Keith couldn’t believe it himself.

“Alright, text me the address.” Tizzy sees the text appear on her screen.

The address was about thirty minutes away from where she was. If she used her lights, she could get there a little faster.

“I’m leaving now, Keith.” Tizzy ends the phone call.

“Mom, I have to go.”

“I’ll be alright, sweetie. Go do your job.” Cheshire squeezes Tizzy hand before she leaves.

Tizzy places a kiss on Cheshire’s cheek and runs down to her Dodge Challenger. She starts the engine and turns her lights on, as she pulls out of the parking lot and heads towards the address. She was doing at least seventy miles per hour with her police lights on.

She arrives at the address, which turns out to be another hotel. She spots her partners car and several patrol cars. Tizzy gets wave through and parks her car a few parking spots down from her partners.

She heads towards the hotel room and spots her partner and several police officers. There was a figure laying on the floor. Tizzy kneels by the body and noticed his tattoos indicated he belonged to the company.

She stands up and looks at her partner “who was staying in this room?”

“Our good friend Covern, but he was registered under the name of Tony Goodwill. He also changed his appearance as well.” Keith shows the image he got from the office.

The clerk inside was very cooperative with him. The picture came from the image the security camera caught of him. He had changed his hair color and the way he was dressed.

“Do we know why this guy was shot?” Tizzy couldn’t believe this.

Keith flips his note pad back a few pages “the clerk said, that a black SUV pulled up this morning two men got out and went inside. After about ten minutes three guys exit the room and left. When the maid came in, she found this guy dead.”

“So, that means this guy was with Covern when he registered or.” Tizzy heads towards the bathroom and saw where he came in at.

“Well, we now know how he came in, but how did they find him before us and who were the guys in the black SUV and where did they go?”
Tizzy wanted to find this prick and bring him to justice.

“I think we should pay a visit to St. John.” Keith knew if anyone would know who those men in the SUV were, he would.

“He doesn’t owe us any favors and you know as well as I do. His currency is a favor for a favor.” Tizzy didn’t like asking him for information, because he always asked about her mother.

“Come on Tizzy. You know as well as I do, he respects and loves your mother.” Keith knew from past conversations that St. John and Tizzy’s mother used to date and had been engaged to be married.

However, Cheshire called the relationship off, because he almost died from an explosion that had been set for her. It was a car bomb that had gone off when he pressed the remote on her car. They were close enough, that the explosive force sent them flying backward. A piece of shrapnel from the car embedded itself in St. John’s chest. It missed his heart by a few inches.

Cheshire lost her first husband to an assassin’s attempt on her life. She didn’t want to lose another one because of who she was. So, she called the relationship off and left him. They were still friends and sometimes they got together, but Cheshire wouldn’t let it get as serious as it once was.

“Fine, let’s go and see St. John.” Tizzy knew better than to argue with her partner, and he was right about St. John.

St. John was a retired military intelligence operative that seemed to know about most of the illegal operations going on around Hawaii. There were only a handful of people he would talk with and she was one of them. She wonders if Cheshire would have adopted her if she had
married St. John.

Keith and Tizzy go by the police precinct and drop her Challenger off. They take Keith’s Hellcat. He managed to snag one of five Hellcat’s the Honolulu police department received last year. Tizzy was sitting quietly in the passenger seat thinking about the case.

Keith looks over at his partner and could tell she was in deep thought. He has been Tizzy’s partner for the past few years and has only scratch the surface of who she is.

“What are you thinking about partner?”

“This case. Why did Covern kill the prostitute and who were the men that came to his hotel room this morning?” Tizzy was puzzled because the case wasn’t making any sense to her.

“Maybe the woman knew something about Covern? We know the company is after him for killing her.” Keith has been wondering about her as well.

“Did anyone checked her place out?”

“Brandon and Jackie were supposed to check it out.” Keith hadn’t spoken to them yet.

“Let’s go by the place after we leave St. John.” Her gut was telling her that something valuable was there that the other investigators missed.

Keith pulls up to St. John’s favorite casino, The Lucky Tempest Casino. He parks nearby and heads inside with Tizzy walking next to him. They look around where St. John normally holds Court and spot him over at the VIP area. There were two heavily muscled guys standing on the other side of the rope that separated the VIP section from the rest of the place. One was African American and the other one was white. Both look like former military. They had the build and haircut style.

“Looks like Huey and Dewy are back.”

The last time Tizzy came up to see St. John he had two different bodyguards. They walk up to the entrance to the VIP section “we’re here to speak to St. John. I’m Detective Patel and this is my partner Detective Jardine.”

“About what matter?” The white guy that Tizzy called Dewy looks at her.

“That’s between us and Mr. St. John.” Detective Jardine answered for Tizzy.

“I’m afraid I need to know more than that.” Darrel looks at Jardine.

His partner Russi looks at Tizzy and gets ready to attack her. Just as he was about to make his move.

“I wouldn’t do that, Dewy.” Tizzy had her gun already out and pointing it at him.

Keith had his out as well and was pointing it at Huey. He had seen Dewy moving his hand towards his gun.

“I really wouldn’t do that. She’s trigger happy and very good with that gun.” Keith knew Tizzy was an expert marksman with her weapon.

“Now, now, Darrel and Russi, you shouldn’t be rude to our guest.” St. John had seen what was happening and decided to interfere.

He knew Tizzy was Cheshire’s oldest daughter and how deadly she and her cousins were. As for her partner, he knew Keith came from a long line of military people.

“Come and join me Detective Patel and Detective Jardine.”

Huey and Dewy step aside to let Tizzy and her partner Keith pass by them. They watch as the two detectives walk up and over to Mr. St. John’s table.

“Please, have a seat. Would you two like anything?” St. John summons a waitress over.

“No, we’re fine, thank you,” Keith answers for the two of them.

St. John looks at the waitress when she comes over “I’ll have my usual, Brenda.”

“Yes, sir.” Brenda turns and walks off.

St. John looks at Keith and Tizzy “so, what brings you two to me today?”

“What do you know about a fellow known as Daniel Covern and is anyone protecting or helping him?” Tizzy wanted answers.

“Daniel Covern let’s see. He is a known pedophile and has connections with several European, Mid-Eastern and African groups. The CIA has been trying to infiltrate but keep losing agents.”

“So, what is he doing here in Hawaii?” Tizzy was curious about that.

“That you need to ask him about, Tizzy. However, you might want to start watching your back and who you share information with.” St. John knew several CIA agents have been assigned to protect Daniel Covern.

“So, why did he kill Mrs. Malia Napua?” Tizzy watches St. John’s body language like her mother taught her.

He was a hard man to read. Tizzy knew he was a former military intelligence agent and he knew what her mother did and what her uncle Jack did.

“Don’t know why he killed her. Just he has a thing for young girls.”

“Do you know where I might find him?” Tizzy wonders how connected St. John was.

St. John accepts his drink when Brenda brings it over to him. He places a twenty on her serving tray. He takes a sip of it.

“Why don’t you try and see if he has gone here.” St. John takes a napkin and write a name down.

He hands the napkin to Tizzy “you might find him there.”

Tizzy and her partner look at the napkin and notices it was just a name Quiet Storm. She looks at St. John with a puzzled look on her face.

“Is this a ships name?”

“Yes, that is the name of the yacht he is hiding on. If you decide to go out to it. You better be prepared.”

“What do you mean by we should be prepared?” Tizzy didn’t like the sound of that.

“Just, Mr. Covern is being protected.”

“Okay, thanks for clearing that up.”

“Well, we better leave.” As Keith stands up.

“Thank you for your time, Mr. St. John.” Tizzy stands up as well.

“Any time. Tell your mother, hello for me.”

“I will.” Tizzy heads out to her partner's car.

Tizzy and her partner stand in the living room of the girl that had been killed. They were informed that the detectives that had been assigned to search the place, didn’t find anything. Tizzy moves from room to room examining each room. Her partner was examining the other rooms. She finally makes her way back to the bedroom where the girl had been found.

Tizzy glances around the room and as she was thinking where she would hide something to keep others from finding whatever it was, she had.
She spots the large collection of shoes Malia Napua collected.

“If I was her and I knew someone was looking for something I had. I would hide it in the one place most guys wouldn’t look.” Keith had heard Tizzy thinking out loud.

He watches as she walks over to the closet and looks for the shoe boxes that would be easy to access. She selects a few and opens them. It wasn’t till she came to the fourth shoe box, that Tizzy finds a flash drive.

“Bingo, partner.” Tizzy turns around with a little black thumb drive no bigger than her thumbnail.

“What do you think is on it?” Keith couldn’t believe how lucky Tizzy was.

“I don’t know, but I’m willing to bet, it has information on it that Covern doesn’t want to get out.” Tizzy wonders what was on it as well.

“How about our other problem of Covern being on a yacht? There has to be a lot of boat slips around Hawaii.”

“True, but I know someone that can help us out on that problem.” She tucks the thumb drive into her pants pocket.

“Who’s that?” Keith was curious.

“My old surfing buddy, Kelly Hoffman.” Tizzy enjoyed surfing with Kelly before his motorcycle accident.

He lost both his legs during the accident. Now, he just sits and watches other surfers as they surf. He also has contacts with a bunch of different marinas. Tizzy knew he did odd jobs at the different marinas or knew people there. She also had a secondary person she could ask.
She normally didn’t like using the second person she knew. Most of the time they were high as a kite.

“I don’t think I’ve met him before or is it a she?” Keith looks at Tizzy as they drive down the highway.

“Him, he’s a few years older than me and was fun to be around. He lost his legs a few years later while coming home from a competition. A drunk driver caused him to crash and he woke-up several days later in the hospital missing his legs. After, that I lost track of him. My mom managed to track him down.” Tizzy felt sorry for him after she learned what happened.

She wanted to help him, but he didn’t want help from anyone. He basically gave up on life. Her mother told her that once a person gives up, there’s not much they can do.

After twenty minutes, they arrive where Kelly hangs out. Tizzy spots him in his wheelchair down on the beach. She approaches him “Hey Kelly, long time, no see.” She gives him a hug.

Kelly looks at Tizzy after she gives him a hug. He knew its been a while since he has seen her.

“Hi, Tizzy. How have you been?”

“I’m doing okay, how about you?” Tizzy couldn’t help but feel like she let Kelly down.

“The same as always.” Kelly sighs as he stares at the surfers out on the ocean.

“Kelly, I need your help on locating a boat by the name of Quiet Storm. A person I’m looking for is hiding aboard it.”

Kelly looks up at Tizzy and could see she was concerned for him. He saw how much he meant to her.

“I’ll see what I can do for you, Tizzy. Also, it’s nice to see you again. You have grown up to become a nice young lady.”

“Thanks, Kelly. You know you can always call me or my mom for anything.”

“I know. Let me see what I can for you on this boat.” He pulls a cellphone out and starts dialing a number.

Tizzy walks back towards her partner. She hopes Kelly will come through with the information.

Cheshire’s House:
Christine was on her way back from the market. Cheshire had given her a grocery list of items she wanted Christine to pick-up at the local fresh food market. She was driving back from the market when she spotted that she had a tail. She was driving Tizzy’s old jeep wrangler she got back when she was seventeen years old.

Christine takes a few turns to see if they were still following her. She noticed that they were still following her.

“Okay, let's see how you like going around in circles.” Christine takes them around in a circle for a while.

After she had gone around a couple of times. She tried to ditch them, but they stuck with her. She slows down and stops at a store. The car that was following her, pulls up behind her. Two guys in suits get out of the car and slowly approach her. Both had short black hair and the same color suit, but one was taller than the other one. Christine grabs the gun from its hiding spot, that Cheshire told her about and kept it next to her.

“Stop right where you gentlemen are. Why are you following me?” Christine had the gun hidden from view.

“We want you to come with us.”

“For what reason?” Christine was curious.

“Because we would like to ask you some question about a Tizzy Patel.” The taller of the two looked at her when he spoke.

“Why?” Christine wanted them to tell her.

“Just come with us, ma’am.” The smaller guy looked like he was getting tired of talking.

“I don’t think so and if you persist I will call the police.” Christine was going to back down.

The shorter of the two guys was slowly reaching towards his jacket. He was going for his gun.

“I wouldn’t do that if I was you.” She had the Glock she was holding against her left leg up and aimed at them.

Both men hadn’t spotted the gun, till she brought it up and had it aimed at them. The short guy removed his hand away from his jacket.

“You wouldn’t shoot us, your bluffing.” A sneer appears on his face.

Christine just smirks at them. They should have done more research on her.

“You really don’t know me that well. I don’t bluff, and I will shoot you.”

“Enough of this. You’re coming with us.” The shorter guy moves to grab Christine.

In a hand-to-hand fight, she might be able to overpower them. The training her mother and Cheshire taught her would allow her to take them down. However, because she was still recovering, she wasn’t up to fighting them. So, instead of shooting them in the chest like she was taught. She shoots the shorter guy in his right knee cap and when the other guy comes for her, she shoots him in his left knee cap.

“I told you I would shoot you. Now, toss your guns towards me, before I shoot your other kneecap out.” Christine had the gun aimed down at their manhood.

Both men toss their guns towards Christine. They were in pain from being shot in their kneecaps.

“Thank you. Now, I’m going to call the paramedic for you and leave now.” Christine gets back in the jeep drive a few blocks, before calling the paramedics.

She did manage to take a picture of both men before she left. She knows Tizzy and Cheshire would want to know who they are. They were lucky she only shot their kneecaps out.

Private Hospital:
Cheshire was sitting next to the bed when the girl woke-up. She had spoken to Doctor Shipman and saw the x-rays of previous abuse the doctor had found. The girl’s right arm had been broken before along with her left leg. There were healed whip marks on her back.

Doctor Shipman had informed her that the girl had numerous scars and injuries that hadn’t healed right. Cheshire spots the girl's eyes opened.

“Well good afternoon. How do you feel?” Cheshire was watching the girl.

Omphile looks at the Asian looking woman sitting next to her bed. She had long black hair and piercing green eyes looking at her. She had seen this woman when she went into the house with the blonde hair girl.

“Hungry.” Omphile felt her stomach growl.

“I’ll order some food for you. What name should I call you?” Cheshire looked into the girl’s brown eyes.

“My mother named me Omphile.” Omphile looks at the Asian lady. Her face was kind and gentle.

“Let me order your food Omphile and while we're waiting for it to arrive. We can talk for a while.” Cheshire sends a text message to the kitchen staff and orders some food for Omphile.

Doctor Shipman had informed her that the girl will have to be placed on a special diet. She was so malnourished, that she was surprised that she was still alive. The poor thing would have died if she hadn’t gotten into Tizzy’s car.

“What is your last name, Omphile?”

“I don’t have one. My mother just called me Omphile, before she was murdered.” Omphile had witnessed her mother murdered right in front of her.

“What happened after that?” Cheshire was curious and wanted to know more.

“The men that murdered my mother left me on the streets. They ran off afterward. I started living on the streets, till a man found me and took me. He put me with several other young people and we were sold off as slaves to different people.” Tears start to slide down her cheeks.

“Omphile, where are you from?” Cheshire knew some countries would take orphans and sell them to wealthy people as house servants.

“Africa. I was born in Africa.”

“Well, you have nothing to fear. I’m going to take care of you. I promise you will never be treated like a slave again. There is one thing I would like to know, why did Mr. Covern bring you to that house?” Cheshire was curious why he would do that.

“I was a gift to him from the people who owned me. They said I was supposed to please him, but instead, I punched him in his manhood.” Omphile remembered that day.

She punched him and tried to escape. She couldn’t get out of his room, because the door had been locked. Covern caught her and smacked her around before she blacked out. When she woke up she was naked, and, in the house, she ran away from.

After a few minutes, food is delivered to Omphile room. While she was eating, Cheshire sends a text to Krisha informing her that she will train Catlin and for her to come to the house tomorrow after school.

Krisha’s school Lunch Time:
Krisha was outside sitting under a tree eating her lunch. Catlin was with her, but she wasn’t eating anything. As long as Krisha has known Catlin, she never eats lunch at school. They both heard Krisha’s cellphone beep letting her know a text arrived.

Krisha looks at the message and saw that it was from her mother. She reads the message and looks up at Catlin.

“Tell your mom and dad that you won’t be home after school tomorrow.”

“Okay, why won’t I be home tomorrow after school?” Catlin was curious.

“Because my mother has agreed to train you.” Krisha wonders why her mother agreed to train Catlin?

“Cool, I can’t wait.” Catlin liked Mrs. Patel. She thought she was cool.

“Famous last words.” Krisha knew how much of a taskmaster her mother was when she trained people. She didn’t even let up on her own children.

When Tizzy, her husband Ikaika, Krisha and Cheshire arrive back at the house. They could smell the scent of food in the air. Christina had come home after dealing with the two men and put the groceries away. Instead of waiting for Tizzy or Cheshire to come home and cook. She decided to go ahead fix dinner for everyone.

She fixed everyone a dish Nora taught her. She figured Cheshire might like it. It was a Spanish dish and it was one of her favorites.

“Mmm, whatever is cooking smells nice.” Tizzy loved the smell floating in the air.

“Thanks, I thought you guys might like it.” Christine finishes setting the table.

As everyone sits down around the table. Cheshire looks over towards Christine “did you have any problems at the food market?”

“No ma’am, I found everything without a problem. I have to admit I liked the market, better than the grocery store.” Christine enjoyed shopping at the market. The vegetables were fresher and better.

“How’s the investigation going, Tizzy?” Christine looks over towards Tizzy.

“Mom has a rule about talking about work at the dinner table.” Tizzy looks at her mother to make sure she was right.

“Oops sorry, Cheshire.”

“It’s okay, Christine.” Cheshire could understand why Nora and her family talked about business around the table.

After dinner, Tizzy and her husband volunteered to do the dishes. There wasn’t much, because as Christine cooked, she cleaned up behind herself.

“Remind me to have you cook more often.” Tizzy liked the fact that Christine is neat when she cooked.

“Did anything exciting happened today?” Cheshire had one of her feelings.

“I’m glad you asked, Cheshire. I was followed and almost attacked by two guys wearing business suits. I had to use the gun you keep Tizzy in your Jeep.”

“Did you kill them?” Tizzy doesn’t recall any calls for an attack.

“Nope, I shot their kneecaps out and took their pictures.” Christine grabs her cellphone and shows Tizzy and Cheshire the pictures.

Tizzy and Cheshire look at the men. Neither one of them knew them. Tizzy looks at Christine “what did they want you to do?”

“To come with them, so they could ask me questions about you. What I got from them, was they thought I would be cooperative.” It’s good that Nora has been training her.

Tizzy wonders who they were. She looks towards her mother “do you think they are agency agents?”

“I don’t know, but I will find out.” Cheshire turns and heads towards her bedroom.

“Oh boy, shit is about to hit the fan.” Tizzy knew what her mother was about to do.

Ikaika looks at his wife “where is your mother going?”

“To question those men.” Tizzy knew her mother all too well.

“I thought your mother was a zoologist?” Ikaika looks at his wife with a puzzled look on his face.

“She is, but mom is also a former agency spook. She is one of the deadliest they ever had. I was trying to protect you because only a handful
of people know about my mother.” Tizzy looked at her husband to gauge his reaction.

Ikaika just looks into Tizzy’s eyes. He didn’t care that they hadn’t told him.

“Is there anything about you, that you haven’t told me?” He kept watching Tizzy’s face.

“I have many secrets and I can’t tell you all of them. Trust me, when I say these are secrets you don’t want to know, sweetie.” Tizzy kisses her husband.

“I’m taking a bath.” Krisha heads towards her bedroom and then to the bathroom.

Krisha slides into the tub and relax. She wonders what her mother is going to train her friend Catlin. Is she going to train her to be like her older sister or more like her and uncle Jack? Krisha knows she wants to pursue a career as a ballet dancer. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with law enforcement or being an assassin. She was also thinking about following in her mother’s footsteps of being a zoologist as well. She loves the snow leopards she has been taken care of.

Cheshire has Christine send her the pictures she took. Once she has them, Cheshire runs their faces through the facial recognition program she has and cross-references them with all known agents. After about twenty minutes, she gets a hit. Both men come back as being listed as being dead. Which meant they were CIA troubleshooters/kites.

Cheshire makes a few calls to locate where they currently are. If they are still in Hawaii, she will find them. She had spies all over Hawaii that she paid to keep her informed. After making the calls, Cheshire makes another call.

Her daughter didn’t know this person. As she waits for the person to answer the phone. She walks over to her closet and moves her clothes aside as she presses a hidden button. The wall in the back of her closet slides to the right-hand side, revealing her gear.

Vips:
Liz brushes aside a loose strand of her chestnut brown hair as she takes the couple’s order. Afterward, she takes the order up to the ticket spindle and tends to another table. There were times she loved this job and hated this job, but she was trying to start over.

She stopped being a government spook after taking the life of a person, that was innocent. The agency had lied to her. She refills the iced tea glasses at the table she was tending too. As she was heading back to the waiter/waitress station her cellphone starts vibrating inside her pocket.

Liz pulls it out and wonders who it could be. There weren’t many people that she gave her number too. When she glances at the number, it was a code.

She presses the accept button “Hello, Cheshire. What can I do for you?”

“What time do you get off from your job?”

“My shift ends in a few hours. Why? What do you need?” Liz knew Cheshire only called her when she needed something.

“I’ll need you to watch my back, while I get my message across.” Cheshire normally wouldn’t ask for help, but she was dealing with the agency and didn’t want to chance it.

“Okay, but you do know I’m out of that business?” Liz didn’t like stepping into that world again.

“I know and I’m not asking you too. I just need for you to cover me while I make sure the message is delivered.” Cheshire knew Liz was still wounded from what happened to her.

Liz should have never become an operator in the first place. She was like Nora; in that, they wore their hearts on their sleeves. Which was good, because they will never have the nightmares or regrets, she has.

“I’ll meet you at the usual spot in a few hours.”

“Alright.” Cheshire’s phone flashes letting her know the location of the people she was looking for.

Cheshire undresses and slips on her suit, her gun belt, and a few other concealable items. She ties her long black hair back into a ponytail. Cheshire sends a reply message back to the person who sent her the information on where to pick-up their payment.

Liz puts her cellphone back into her pocket and goes back to taking care of her tables.

No one pays attention to a black hair, Asian woman as she walks down the hallway pushing a cart before her. The guard that should have been guarding the door to the room, was busy talking to one of the nurses. Cheshire just shakes her head in disbelief. During her time, an officer wouldn’t be doing what the younger generation was doing now.

Cheshire slips into the room where the two men who had tried to apprehend Christine the other day were. She notices that both men were sound asleep. She pulls a needle out and inserts it into the saline drip bag connected to the men. She hasn’t had to use this concoction in a long time, but she did warn the agency to stay away from her family.

She considers Christine family and that meat you do not mess with her. The concoction was her namesake. It gave the person a wonderful Cheshire grin while killing them. It was her mixture of pleasure and pain.

Across the street a sniper was watching the room the two CIA agents were in. He had been ordered to kill the famous Cheshire. He spots her moving around in the room. He locks his sights on her and was about to pull the trigger when he feels an object against the back of his head.

“You honestly didn’t think the Cheshire wouldn’t figure out that this was a set-up to kill her? Now, you can tell me who sent you or I will put a hole in the back of your head. Either way, you’re going to die.” Liz had spotted a heat source on the roof across from the hospital.

She was trained by Cheshire to move silently in the shadows and managed to sneak up on the sniper. His attention was entirely on Cheshire, that he didn’t figure she would have a back-up.

“Now, are you going to talk or do I pull the trigger?” Liz figures he was going to take the second option.

“Damn!” was all he got out when Liz pulled the trigger on her gun.

She knew he wasn’t going to talk. Agency snipers never did. She should know because Cheshire trained her and Nora to be one. She takes her ring out of her pocket and put it on. She presses the ring against his cheek, leaving behind an image of a Nighthawk. Her call sign when she uses to be with the agency. The image was chemically burned into his flesh.

Liz takes his sniping rifle and ammo when she leaves. She’ll add the gun to her collection. She meets up with Cheshire ten minutes later.
She looks at her mentor “you were right. They had a sniper across the street waiting to kill you.”

“I thought they might. They have been trying to get rid of me for a while now.” Cheshire walks back to her motorcycle.

“Why come after you now? They have had years to kill you.” Liz couldn’t understand why now.

“Because the old heads and directors of the CIA and in the government have all retired. They have been replaced by new people who don’t
know me. So, they think I will be an easy mark to eliminate. I’m going to have to remind them, that I can kill them at any time I choose.” Cheshire hated to have to remind people, that she could take them any time she wanted.

“Do you think they are dumb enough to go after your partner?” Liz knew Cheshire had a partner that was as dangerous as she was.

“If they know what is good for them, they better leave him alone. Because once he is pissed. He will burn their homes down around them or leave the nuclear football he has on their doorstep.” Cheshire knew if you pissed Jack off enough. He would rebuild the nuclear football they acquired twenty years ago.

“Remind me to never piss him off.” Liz mounts her motorcycle and put her helmet on.

“It takes a lot to push him to that point. He would rather turn his wolves loose on you, first. Thanks for backing me up.” Cheshire hands a bundle of money over to Liz.

“I owe you, but thank you.” As she accepts the money and slips it into a secret pocket on her vest.

The two figures drive off and head in two different directions. Cheshire takes the long way home. She’ll know if anyone is tailing her and hide her from satellites and drones. She knows Liz was doing the same thing.

Ten miles off Hawaii:
Tizzy and her partner approach the yacht she has been looking for quietly in the water. She had her skin-tight wetsuit on and her partner had his on as well. The information Kelly gave her had panned out.

They had taken her mother’s speed boat and parked it nearby and swam the rest of the way underwater. She and Keith leave their tanks floating on a raft they brought with them. Tizzy boards first and takes a guard out.

Keith follows behind her. He spots a second guard and shoots him. The two of them were using dart guns. The only person they wanted was Covern. They had come under the cover of darkness to arrest him.

The two of them spotted two more guards and took them out. Tizzy motions to her partner to join her. She had heard some muffled sounds coming from one of the rooms. The door was locked. She takes out a small pry bar she brought with her and slowly pry the door open.

When the door opens, she and her partner spotted Covern having sex with a young Chinese girl that looked like she was stoned out of her mind. She had a ball gag in her mouth.

Covern was behind her, buried deep inside her. She had numerous bruises on her pale petty body. When Covern looked at them, he looked like he was high on something as well.

Keith shoots him twice, knocking the man out. He knew Tizzy was ready to kill Covern. He walks over to check Covern out, while Tizzy checked the girl out.

“I’m not here to hurt you.” As Tizzy takes the ball gag out of the young girl's mouth.

She looks around and spotted the cocaine laying on the nightstand. She looks at the young girl and figure she had to be nine or ten years old.
There was a mark on the girl's right shoulder that Tizzy knew belonged to a human trafficking gang. They brought young country girls in from China and other countries in from the Far East.

“We’re going to have to take a boat from here, back to my mother’s speed boat.” Tizzy had wrapped the girl up in a sheet she found.

“I agree with you. This clown is heavy.” Keith was carrying Covern over his shoulder.

They managed to make it back up on deck and lower a boat the people must have been using to go back and forth to shore. Tizzy sets the drugged girl down and helps Keith with their prisoner.

“You know we are going to catch hell for this.” Keith knew the CIA was going to want Covern back.

“Let them come for us. Covern is wanted for questioning about the murder and now we can tack on having sex with a minor.” Tizzy checks on the young girl.

Her pulse was weak and there was some blood between her legs. The poor thing looked like she hasn’t eaten anything.

“How is she?” Keith was concerned

“She’ll need to stay in the hospital for a while.” Tizzy knew that just from the simple exam she gave her.

“How old do you think she is?”

“I would say between eight or ten years old. She hasn’t started developing breasts yet.” Tizzy looks over towards Covern and wanted to cut his penis off.

“What are you going to do with her? Are you going to turn her over to child protective services?” Keith knew if she was in the country illegally, ICE would get involved.

“I’m taking her home with me and if anyone has a problem with it. I’ll shoot them.” Tizzy was going to talk to her husband about adopting this girl. She knew her cousins have already adopted kids.

Besides, this girl didn’t ask to be brought here or used by a pervert. Tizzy makes sure she is covered up as Keith takes them back to her mother’s speed boat, after grabbing their gear.

Cheshire takes another sip of her tea, while she waited for Collins to wake-up. She couldn’t wait to see his reaction. She watches him as he slowly wakes up.

“Good morning, sleepy head.”

Collins goes to pull his gun from under his pillow, but it wasn't there. He looks at Cheshire as she stood nearby. She had a coffee mug in her hand as she slowly took a sip from it.

Cheshire looks at him with a predatory look on her face “what did I say about going after my family?”

“I have no idea what you are talking about.” Collins looks at Cheshire with a bewildered look on his face.

“Really? You have no idea about two of your goons going after a young blonde-haired girl, yesterday?” Cheshire takes another sip of her tea.

“You mean, Christine Pyle? She’s not related to you. She’s the oldest daughter of a one Nora Maria Midnight.” He looks at her with a smug look.

“Well, you missed some important information. She is considered part of my extended family. Since you and your agents can’t seem to leave my family along. I sent two of them on their way. As for you.” Cheshire pulls her gun and fired twice at his chest.

Cheshire watches as his eyes close. She warned him to leave her family alone. If he had followed her advice, he would still be alive.

She takes the coffee mug with her as she leaves his house. Instead of heading towards her house, she heads to check on the young teenage girl Tizzy brought home. When all this was over, she figures she’ll have another daughter. A smile appears on her face, when she thinks about the fact, she was becoming just like her partner Jack. She’ll have two daughters as he does now.

Private Medical Hospital:
It was still early in the morning when Cheshire arrives at the hospital. Nurse Wilkes was on duty as she walked in.

“I’m here to see Omphile Patel.” Cheshire looked at the younger black hair woman.

Nurse Wilkes looks at the older Oriental woman standing before her. She hadn’t met her before, but she was given strict orders not to let
anyone in the room to see the young girl in room 2B.

“Your name, ma’am?” Nurse Wilkes wanted to make sure this woman was on the approved visitor's list for 2B.

“Cheshire Patel, I’m her legal guardian.” Cheshire shows her identity card.

Nurse Wilkes checks the identity card against the one they had on file and she was on the approved list. She checks the hidden cameras in the room to see if Omphile was awake yet.

“She’s not awake yet, Mrs. Patel. If you want to go and see her. Go ahead on it.” Nurse Wilkes heard rumors about this Asian woman.

“Thank you.” Cheshire walks into the hospital room and over towards Omphile sleeping form. Cheshire notices Omphile was holding the teddy bear tight against her body. She smelled a lot better than she had when she arrived. Her heart-shaped face looked so angelic as she slept.

According to Doctor Shipman, Omphile will be able to go home in a few days. She sits down in the chair near Omphile’s bed and just watches her, just like she watched Tizzy when she was little.

Tizzy and Ikaika bedroom, Cheshire’s House:
Tizzy holds the young girl she rescued last night. Throughout the early morning, Tizzy felt the young girl shiver and whimper as she held her. She holds her, just like her mother did.

Tizzy opens her eyes and spot Ikaika looking at her. She could see that he was concerned about the young girl. She had explained everything to him last night when she got back from locking Covern up at HPD. He wasn’t in the normal cells; he was down in the basement cells that they use to interrogate people in.

Tizzy felt the young girl snuggle closer to her body. She just holds her and rubs her back. She was going to need some clothes to wear, but she could wear one of Krisha’s nightshirts till they go shopping or one of Ikaika’s shirts. She looks towards her bedroom door when she hears movement outside of it.

“I’ll go and help Krisha with the cats.” Ikaika gets out of bed and slips a t-shirt on as he walks out of the bedroom.

Tizzy looks down at the Oriental girl with her face buried against her chest. She just holds the girl as she lays there. She knows it was going to be rough for her. Tizzy doesn’t know how long the girl had been given drugs or how depended she was on it. Hopefully, she hasn’t been given A lot of drugs. Tizzy feels the girl go back to sleep. She extracts herself from the little girl and gave the child; the teddy bear Cheshire had
given her when she came to live with her.

Tizzy grabs her house robe and walks out of her bedroom and towards the kitchen. She could smell coffee brewing. As Tizzy walks into the kitchen, she spots her little sister eating breakfast. Kit and Kat were eating theirs and she spots her husband walking back in from the back yard. He put the food out for the two ligers.

Krisha looks at her older sister as she comes walking in. She notices Tizzy looked extremely tired.

“Rough night, last night?” As she stuffs a spoonful of Raisin Bran into her mouth.

“Yeah, we found our perp last night having sex with a ten-year-old oriental girl he drugged.” Tizzy pours a cup of coffee for herself and sits
down near her little sister.

“Is the girl okay?” Krisha looks towards Tizzy with a concerned look on her face.

“I hope she is. I’ll need to take her by the hospital and have her checked out. Right now, she is sound asleep on mine and Ikaika bed.” Tizzy
takes a sip of her coffee.

“What are we going to do about the other girl that sneaked into your police car?” Krisha looks towards her sister and brother-in-law.

“Mom is going to adopt her, so we have another sister.” Tizzy and her mother talked about adopting the other girl.

“So, your family is becoming as big as mine.” Christine comes walking into the kitchen.

“Oh? Did Nora add another member to the family?” Tizzy looks towards Christine.

“Not officially yet, but she’s protecting one of Melody’s friends from school. I talked to mom last night after all of you left to do whatever you do at night.” Christine was walking around in a baby blue nightgown that came down to her ankles.

She walks over to the kitchen counter and pours herself a cup of coffee. She looks around the kitchen and wonders where Cheshire was.

“Where’s aunt Cheshire?”

“Mom left early this morning. She was still decked out in her uniform.” Krisha had heard her mother moving around at four in the morning. Kit and Kat did as well, and they woke her.

“I wonder where mom was going so early in the morning?” Tizzy takes another sip of her coffee as she leans back against her husband.

Ikaika wraps his arms around his wife. He loved his wife and was happy that she agreed to marry him after that accident she had been in. He never wants to feel as helpless as he did the day, he saw her just laying there in bed. He places a kiss on her cheek.

Lien wakes up and notices she was still laying in the bed from last night. The woman that had rescued her wasn’t in the room and neither was the man. She sits up and looks around the room and herself. She was wearing a pink nightshirt with a picture of a weird alien on it. She has seen the picture before, but she doesn’t know who it was.

Lien winces when she moves to get out of bed. It didn’t hurt as much as it uses too. She walks up to the door and tries to open it. It opens without any problems and comes face to face with a huge gray and black color cat. It had a long tail and was watching her. It turns and walks away from her.

Lien watches as the cat heads down the hallway. She follows behind it as it leads her into the kitchen, where she sees three other women and the man that had been in bed with her as well.

Tizzy spots the little girl she brought home with her last night following Kat as he comes walking into the kitchen. A smile appears on her face
“good morning. Are you hungry?”

Lien looks at the woman that rescued her last night. She was saying something but didn’t understand her. She walks over to the woman.

Krisha had watched the little girl when her sister spoke to her and saw that the girl didn’t understand her. She turns to look at Tizzy “try Chinese sis.”

Tizzy looks down at the girl “Zǎoshang hǎo. Nǐ èle ma?”

Lien shakes her head yes to Tizzy’s question. As she stops in front of Tizzy and her husband.

“I’ll get a bowl for her.” Christine walks over to the cabinets and grabs a bowl, cereal and a spoon for the girl. She places it at an empty spot next to Tizzy and Ikaika.

Ikaika releases Tizzy and walks over to help the girl up into the chair. He moves slowly, so as not to scare her. He picks her up gently and places her on the chair.

Lien stood still as the man lifted her up into the chair. The woman that saved her, was pouring yellow looking balls into a bowl in front of her and adding milk to it. She picks up the spoon sitting in the bowl and taste the food. It tasted sweet and wet. Her stomach growls as the first bit hits her stomach.

Krisha looks at Tizzy “really? You gave her my corn puffs?”

“I’ll go out and get you more.”

“Speaking of which, who is taking me to school this morning?” Krisha looks at her big sister and brother-in-law.

“I will. Finish your breakfast and grab your books.” Christine finishes her coffee and grabs a banana from the fruit bowl Cheshire keeps.

“Okay.” Krisha watches as Christine walks off to go and get dress.

Tizzy watches the girl as she eats. She couldn’t believe how much cereal the girl was trying to stuff into her mouth. She was going to choke if she doesn’t slow down.

Tizzy places her hand on the girl’s hand lightly “Màn xiàlái, méiyǒu rén huì bǎ nǐ de shíwù dài zǒu."

Lien slows down and eats her food slowly. She couldn’t believe the woman spoke her language.

“I didn’t know you spoke Chinese.” Ikaika was surprised Tizzy spoke Chinese.

“My mother taught it to me. It’s not the only language I can speak.” Tizzy kisses Ikaika’s chin.

Christine changes her clothes, after doing her morning medical exercise. She loved having her own vagina now and can’t wait to see what it felt like to have a guy pumping in and out of her. She already knew what it felt like having the dilators moving in out of her body, but she wants a huge well-hung man to fuck her.

“We’re gone Tizzy and Ikaika.” As she and Krisha walk out of the house.

Tizzy and Ikaika watch as the little girl eat. Ikaika fixes himself a bowl of cereal and eats it.

Private Hospital:
Omphile wakes up and spots Cheshire sitting near her bed. She sits up and wonders why she was sitting next to her.

“Am I in trouble?” She felt like she did something wrong.

“No, sweetie. You’re not in trouble. I came by to see how you are doing.” Cheshire caresses Omphile cheek.

Omphile shivers from Cheshire caressing her cheek. No one had ever been this kind and gentle to her before. She leans into Cheshire’s hand.
Tears slide down her cheek as she rests against Cheshire’s hand. She wishes this woman had shown up earlier in her life. She closes her eyes and just enjoys the feeling.

Cheshire saw the tears sliding down Omphile’s cheek. She scoops Omphile out of bed and just holds her on her lap like she first did Tizzy when she was little. She could only imagine how this girl was treated. She holds her and gently stroke her back.

Omphile buries her face against Cheshire’s shoulder as she holds onto her. She never had anyone that care for her like this woman has. She shivers when Cheshire strokes her back and cry against her shoulder. It felt strange having someone caring about her.

Omphile stays on Cheshire’s lap a while. After thirty minutes Cheshire lays her back in bed. She looks into Cheshire’s eyes and notices that her pupils were cat-like, not round.

“Why are your pupils’ cat-like?” Omphile was curious.

“I have a rare condition after years of injuries to my eyes.” Cheshire has been noticing her pupils were starting to deform.

Extreme bright light causes her to go blind temporarily. She has seen the condition in others, where their iris formed a football shape. Her night vision has improved some.

Omphile wonders who would hurt a woman like Cheshire. She seemed so innocent and fragile. She does wonder why she was wearing a skintight black body suit.

“When will I be able to go home with you again?” Omphile was tired of being in the hospital.

“Within a few days. The doctor said you are still underweight and wants to at least get you back up to what your weight should b before he lets
you go home.” Cheshire needs to add an addition to her place.

Even with Christine leaving when she was better. She would still need a room for the little Chinese girl Tizzy was planning on adopting unless Tizzy moved out. Tizzy and her husband could stay downtown at the condo she owned or the other safe house, but she knows Tizzy wouldn’t want to leave Simba behind.

Cheshire’s House:
Tizzy washes Lien’s shoulder-length black hair. Lien had told her she had been sold into slavery after her parents died. She came from a poor village in the Northern part of China. Her relatives couldn’t support her and had enough women in their home.

The first person she belonged to, just used her to clean and take care of their place. When she had her first period, they sold her to the highest bidder. She has only been in the states for a few weeks. She came along with other women from China to the states. She knew a few English words.

Tizzy knew after she learned about how Lien arrived in the states. She would have to speak to her mother about getting citizenship for Lien. She could probably talk to the Governor about making Lien legal.

“Okay, squirt. Let’s get you dress, and take you to the doctors to get you checked out.” Tizzy dries Lien off and carries Lien to her bedroom.

Christen had gone out and bought a few articles of clothing for Lien. Tizzy was going to take her out after seeing the doctor and buy her some clothes and toys. Tizzy finishes dressing Lien. She steps back and looks at her.

“You are such a pretty little girl.” Tizzy was speaking in Chinese so Lien could understand her.

Lien looks at the woman that rescued her. She been nice and caring towards her, but she has been tricked before. She wants to believe that this woman won’t miss treat her like the others.

“What are you going to do with me?”

Tizzy had a puzzled look on her face “what do you mean?”

“Are you going to let that guy who sleeps next to me, put his thing in me or sell me for sex like the others?” Lien wanted to trust this woman.

Tizzy walks over and pick Lien up and hold her. She looks directly into her eyes “you will never be treated like you have, ever again. I am going to adopt you and that man who was in bed with us is my husband and he will never harm you. As for the other women you saw this morning, one is my sister and the older woman with long black hair is my mother. The blonde haired girl is my cousin from Memphis, Tennessee. You will never be in harm, ever again.” Tizzy hugs Lien.

Lien returns the hug and holds onto Tizzy. Tizzy carries Lien out to her car and head to the nearest clothing store to buy clothes for Lien. Before heading to the hospital and have her exam.

While they are shopping, she lets Lien pick out whatever she wanted. Tizzy had money in the bank she has been saving for years. Once they were done shopping, Tizzy takes Lien to the same private hospital Omphile was in and the same one she had been taken too by her mother.

While Doctor Honeycutt was examining Lien. She wonders how Omphile was doing. She knew her mother was here because she spotted her motorcycle in the parking lot. She informed Doctor Honeycutt and his assistant that Lien only spoke Chinese. If he needed a translator she could translate or him.

Luckily, Doctor Honeycutt’s assistant spoke Chinese. She uses to work for Doctor’s Across Borders. She did notice the brand mark that slave smugglers put on every girl they sold. There was no way it could be removed.

Tizzy saw the mark when she washed Lien. She wanted to track the smugglers down and feed them to Simba and Khan. She also wouldn’t mind introducing them to Terror and Miscreant. The two of them were looking like their sire, Chao’s.

Doctor Honeycutt allows Lien to get redress. He looks at Tizzy “she’s got some tearing that is healing. She might have some blood in her stool from tears in her rectum area. Also, there’s some scar tissue in her vaginal lining. I’m going to write you a prescription for some antibiotics and vitamins as well. You’ll need to bring her weight up.”

“How much weight does she need to gain?” Tizzy was concerned.

“At least twenty pounds. She needs to gain at least twenty pounds and take her vitamins every day.” Doctor Honeycutt gives Tizzy the prescriptions.

“Oh, I’ll make sure she takes them.” Tizzy picks Lien up and carries her out.

Tizzy noticed she had a lollypop “man, you got a lollypop. I’m jealous.”

Once they were at Tizzy’s car. She buckles Lien in the passenger seat.

“I have to go in for a while. I’m going to take you back home and you're going to spend the day with Christen.”

Lien just hugs Tizzy as they walk toTizzy's car.

“Come on Covern, why did you kill that woman that worked for the agency?” Tizzy was leaning over him, trying to get him to talk.
Her partner was standing nearby, just in case she got out of hand. He knew how Tizzy loves to use force to get her answers.

“Maybe he doesn’t talk unless he has a dildo shove up his ass?” Keith walks around him.

Covern was strapped into a metal chair in the interrogation room. There wasn’t any window or furniture in the room. He looks at both police officers and just smile at them.

Tizzy goes to strike him but is stopped by her partner. He looks at her “I wouldn’t waste the energy.”

“You better listen to your partner, bitch. Because I ain’t telling you shit.” A smirk appears on his face.

“Oh, I know two people who can make you talk. The thing is, do you want me to call them?” tizzy had an evil smile on her face.

“Oh, who would those loser’s be?” Covern wasn’t going to be forced to talk to these two cops.

“My mother, The Cheshire and her partner and my uncle, The Devil’s Bounty Hunter, Jack Bounty.” Tizzy purrs out Jack’s last name.

Covern looks at Tizzy and notices she isn’t oriental or even Asian. He was going to call her bluff “The Cheshire isn’t your mother. You're not Asian at all.” Covern knew The Cheshire was oriental.

Tizzy pulls her cellphone out and brings a picture up of her mother and herself. She enlarges it so he could see it better “here’s the proof.”
Covern looks at the picture and back at Tizzy. He looks one more time “you wouldn’t call her.”

“Do you want to bet on that?” Tizzy gives Covern an evil smile.

Covern thinks about it for a second. He looks back at her “they wouldn't let her come in here.”

“You don’t know my mother.” Tizzy presses the call button to dial her mother’s number.

Private Hospital:
Cheshire was playing a boarded game with Omphile when her cellphone starts ringing. She picks it up and notices it was Tizzy.

“What can I do for you, sweetie?” Cheshire motions for Omphile to go ahead and roll the dice.

“I need you to talk to someone. He doesn’t believe you won’t come down here and make him talk.”

“Put me on speaker, sweetie.” Cheshire rolls the dice for her turn.

“Okay, mom.” Tizzy puts her phone on speaker.

“Mr. Covern, I am Officer Patel’s mother and if you don’t speak to her, well let’s say you won’t be waking up tomorrow.” Cheshire made sure the message was clear.

Tizzy looks at Covern and saw how he paled when he heard Cheshire’s voice. He had heard rumors about her and knew if she threatens you. You can damn well, count on her carrying that promise out.

“Is that all you needed sweetie?”

“Yes ma’am, that’s all I need. See you for dinner tonight.” Tizzy ends the call.

“Now, where were we?” Tizzy looks back towards Covern.

Cheshire’s House:
Christine checks on Lien as she took a nap in Tizzy’s and Ikaika’s bedroom. She looked so cute as she held Tizzy’s favorite stuff animal in her arms. She shuts the bedroom door but leaves a gap so Lien knows she wasn’t locked in the room.

Christine heads into the studio Cheshire has and starts the music she normally worked out to. She called her mother earlier and Nora told her that they had another teenage girl staying with them. She was letting the girl use her bedroom. Christine didn’t mind. She’s been thinking lately about staying here in Hawaii. The thing was, it was going to cost her a lot of money to have her stuff packed and shipped here.

She does her exercises to keep her body limber. Cheshire suggested that she shouldn’t be flabby or lacks in keeping her body fit. She continues for a few hours and afterward, go and soak in Cheshire’s huge hot tub. Simba comes up to the hot tub and rubs his head against her hand.

“What are you doing boy?” Christine scratches him between his ears.

She looks around for Shur-Khan but doesn’t see him anywhere. She knew he liked to stay out in the jungle until he is called for dinner. She
hears a gunshot, followed by a scream. She gets out of the hot tub and head inside the house and brings the security cameras up. They were concealed out in the jungle and near the fence line.

She spots Shur-Khan attacking several men that were dumb enough to invade his territory. She watches for a while as the men start running away from him.

“Dumb asses, don’t you know better than to run from a large game cat?”

The three men run to find the main path that leads from deep in the jungle behind Cheshire’s house. It came directly to the back gate of Cheshire’s house. She grabs her gun and some zip cuffs. She waits as they come to the gate and notices Simba waiting for them.

“You know, you are really dumb coming in from the jungle. You’re lucky he didn’t eat you.” She was petting Simba, as he sat next to her.

“Let’s us in, bitch.” One guy looks over his shoulder towards the jungle.

“Nope! Not till you say the magic word.” Christine just smirks at the man.

The guy could hear the trees shake as Shur-Khan got closer to him and his friends. He looks back at Christine “please! I don’t want to die.”

“You should have thought about that, before trying to sneak up on me.” Christine opens the gate and makes the guys kneel once they were in.

She shuts the gate and turns around to face the three guys “put your hands behind your back before I ask my friend there to bite you.”

The three guys do as she says. They feared the big ass cat staring at them.

“Very good.” As Christine goes about binding their hands.

Christine pulls her cellphone out and calls HPD to come and pick them up. She’ll inform Tizzy later.

Catlin was in pain as she pushed herself further and further. She arrived at Mrs. Patel’s with her suitcase. Her mother and father had agreed to let Mrs. Patel take her in for a few months. Once she was shown a room. Cheshire had her change into a leotard and come out to the exercise room.

First Cheshire warmed her up with a few exercises. Then she started teaching her more difficult exercises. After they were through with those, Cheshire gives her a physical test to see what she already knew and how she could improve on what she knew already.

Krisha was performing her warm-up routine before she started her ballet steps. She watched Catlin as her mother tortured her friend. She felt sorry for her, but she asked for it. Catlin needed to be taught restraint and how to not get caught stealing.

Cheshire spots her youngest watching Catlin “are you done with your warm-up routine, Krisha?”

“No, ma’am.” Krisha goes back to finishing up her warm-up routine and starts her dance routine.

Cheshire looks back to Catlin “now, let me show you an exercise I want you to do every morning.”

Tizzy and Ikaika Bedroom:
Lien snuggles close to Tizzy. She was wearing a pair of pajamas that Tizzy had bought her. It had the girls from Monster High on the shirt. She opens her eyes and saw that Ikaika was sound asleep next to her. She was sandwich between him and Tizzy. She felt Tizzy’s arm wrapped around her waist and held her against her body. She turns around in Tizzy’s arm and buries her face in the crook of Tizzy’s shoulder. She feels Tizzy tighten her grip on her waist and hold her close.

Tizzy rubs Lien’s back as she held her close to her body. She was growing fond of Lien. Tizzy holds onto Lien when she turns to lay on her back. She holds onto her.

Lien felt Tizzy holds onto her when she rolled over and laid on her back. She loved when Tizzy rubbed her back. Lien sits up and straddles Tizzy’s waist. She looks down at Tizzy. She feels Tizzy hold her hands.

“Did you sleep okay last night?” Tizzy had felt Lien shiver a few times.

“Yes, ma’am.” Lien felt safe last night when she slept between Tizzy and her husband.

“What’s going to happen to me?” Lien was worried she would be taken from Tizzy.

“You, young lady will become mine and Ikaika’s daughter. No one is going to take you from us. You will go to the same private school your aunt goes to and will be spoiled rotten by your grandparents. You can call my mother either grandma or Yaya or Nana.”

“Why does your mom call you mouse?” Lien heard Cheshire call Tizzy mouse a few times.

“Because, when I first came to live with my mother. I asked questions all the time and she surprised me as well. So, she gave me the nickname, mouse. Just like your nickname is monkey.” Tizzy taps Lien’s nose gently.

“Why is my nickname monkey?” Lien was curious.

“Because you are always hanging around and look like a little monkey.” Tizzy had a teasing smile on her face.

She tickles Lien as she sat on her abdomen. She kept Lien from falling sideways onto her husband. Tizzy keeps tickling Lien.

“I give, I give, mommy!” Lien was ready to pee her panties.

Tizzy stops and looks down at Lien “did you just call me mommy?”

Lien shakes her head yes. She hopes Tizzy didn’t mind.

Tizzy scoops Lien into her arms and hold her to her chest. Tears were flowing down her cheek as she held Lien. She places a kiss on Lien’s cheek.

“Thank you.” As Tizzy holds Lien close to her body.

Lien wraps her arms around Tizzy and holds onto her. Tears were coming from her eyes because she has never felt safe and secure before. She was happy she finally found someone to be her mother.

Ikaika had opened his eyes to see what was going on and saw the bonding going on between Tizzy and Lien. He wishes he had his camera to take a picture of mother and daughter. Tizzy had told him, she was worried that Lien might not like her. He knew his wife really wanted Lien to like her.

“I got to go and pee mommy.” Lien looks into Tizzy’s eyes.

“Alright, sweetie.” Tizzy lets go of Lien.

Lien runs out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. She makes it, just in time. Her bladder releases as soon as her butt hit the toilet seat.

Sunroom:
Christine was sitting out in the sunroom, enjoying the breeze coming in through the windows. She knew Cheshire, Krisha, and a girl named Catlin that went to school with Krisha was being trained by Cheshire. She had a feeling that Cheshire was going to train the girl to be an agent of hers. She knew Tizzy was a police officer, but also her mother’s daughter.

The new girl Cheshire brought home last night was still asleep in Krisha’s bedroom. She was sleeping on a cot and being watched by Kat. She was still debating if she wants to stay in Hawaii. Cheshire said she would let her live at one of her safe houses down near the ocean.

Krisha’s bedroom:
Omphile wakes up and looks around the bedroom she was sleeping in. Cheshire had set up a cot in her youngest daughter’s bedroom. She looks over towards the other bed and saw that Krisha was already up. Laying on her bed instead was one of the snow leopards. She couldn’t tell which one it was.

Omphile slowly gets up and grabs the house robe that came with her nightgown. There were a set of fuzzy pink slippers near her bed. She slips them on and heads towards the kitchen. She spots the little girl she met last night, going into the main bathroom.

She notices the snow leopard was following her. Omphile walks into the kitchen but doesn’t see anyone. There was a bowl of fruit on the counter. She takes a banana from the bowl and looks around.

She spots Christine in the sunroom. She walks into the sunroom “Christine, where is everyone?”

Christine looks up from reading an email on her cellphone. She knew Omphile was new “your adopted mother, your sister and Catlin are in the training room. Tizzy and her family are still in her bedroom.

Christine spots Kat behind Omphile. She snaps her fingers and watches as Kat comes running over to her.

“Is it alright if I come in here and sit?”

“Please, this is your home as well. Cheshire is your adopted mother after all.”

“Thank you.” Omphile walks in and sits down on one of the benches in the sunroom.

“Are you hungry? I can fix you some breakfast.” Christine locks her cellphone.

Omphile nods her head yes to being hungry. She couldn’t believe that she could have food when she wanted, without having to suck someone off or having sex.

“Is there anything in particular you want or is scrambled eggs and sausage alright?”

“Scramble eggs and sausage is fine.”

“Okay.” Christine gets up and heads into the kitchen to fix some breakfast for Omphile.

Tizzy lets out a low moan as Ikaika enters in and out of her as he makes love to her. They finally had the house to themselves and Tizzy missed not having Ikaika make love to her. Lien was with her mother, along with the rest of the girls and Christine was checking out the safe house that Cheshire was going to let her have.

She grips the sheets beneath her, as she arches her back off the bed. She was enjoying the sex she and Ikaika were having. It has been almost a month since the two of them have had sex at all. The reason it has been that long was because of her work and the house being filled with people. Now that they had a daughter, she figures their chances of having sex would decrease.

The next two hours, Tizzy and Ikaika spend making love to each, until Tizzy was too sore to continue. Her anal and vaginal opening were raw and extremely sore. Her jaw was aching as well from taking Ikaika's huge cock in her mouth. Her husband was gifted with a very long and thick penis.

While the two of them laid in their bed snuggled against each other. Tizzy didn’t want to disturb the feeling she was enjoying being in Ikaika’s arms.

“We need to get a place of our own. What do you think?”

“I think your right. Your mother’s place is getting crowded with all the girls she is adopting.”

“Don’t forget about the snow leopards either.” Tizzy has found Kit or Kat in their bedroom when they forget to close the door.

“The thing is, where ever we move to. We’re going to have to put up fencing and security cameras for Simba.” Tizzy wasn’t going to leave her kitty cat.

“Don’t forget about the permits we will need as well.” Ikaika knew you had to have special permits to own exotic animals like Simba.

“That shouldn’t be a problem. You work at the zoo and Simba has been my kitty since he was a cub. Plus, mom knows a few people that can
help us get the permits.”

“When do you want to start looking for a new place?” Ikaika kisses Tizzy’s cheek.

“Maybe later today or tomorrow.” Tizzy figures her mother and the girls should be back soon.

“Well, why don’t we continue making love to each other, until the girls and your mother get back?” Ikaika kisses Tizzy as he fondles her
breasts.

“Be gentle, please.” As Tizzy returns the kiss.

2500 Kalakaua Ave APT 1604, Honolulu, HI
Christine looks around the apartment and the huge windows that let the sunshine in. She loved the townhouse and the view from the balcony. She could see the ocean from one of her balcony’s. There were at least four of them.

She could see that Cheshire decorated the place rather sparsely. Which was fine with her, because it gave her a chance to decorate the place, the way she liked. When she is leaving the townhouse, she accidentally runs into a man coming out of the elevator.

“I’m sorry.” Christine looks at the man.

He reminded her of a person she once knew in Memphis. He was as tall as she was and had dark hair.

“Sorry, about that. Are you okay?” Christine had a smile on her face.

“I’m okay. I didn’t think anyone lived there.” Taddeo thought the place was vacated. Occasionally, he would see the cleaning service who took care of the place, but not the owner themselves. According to the information he got from the cleaning service. The person who owned the townhouse was an author that was the most for most expert on big game cats.

“I just purchased the townhouse from the owner.”

“Oh? What type of work, do you do?”

“I’m a special effects artist.”

“And you're going to work here in Hawaii?” Taddeo was curious.

“Yes, I know Hollywood would be the place to be, but Hawaii has a lot of potentials and there are several good companies here in Hawaii.”

“Well, if you need any help moving in. I’m just down the hall.” Taddeo checks his watch and notices he had twenty minutes to get to work.

“Bye!” Christine watches as Taddeo walks off.

Nora’s Place, Memphis, Tn.:
Nora was on her way home from the grocery store when her cellphone starts ringing. She glances at her phone and saw it was Christine’s number.

“Hello, Christine. How are you doing?” Nora was concerned about her oldest.

“I’m doing fine mom. Cheshire gave me the safe house she has here in Honolulu.” Christine was heading downstairs towards her car.

“Well, what do you think of the place? Do you like it?”

“Yes, ma’am. I like it very much.” Christine figures it would do nicely for her.

“So, does that mean you want me and Kelly to go ahead and pack your stuff up and ship it out to you? Including your studio?”

“If you don’t mind, mom.” Christine knew she had a lot to do.

“Okay, sweetie. We’ll start packing everything up to be shipped to you. Send me the address you would like your stuff sent to. Are you going to
keep your studio, or do you want me to go ahead and sell it?”

“I was thinking about keeping it for a while, mom. So, if you could arrange to check in on it and such. It would help.” Christine didn’t want to
lose her workshop.

“I can do that for you, sweetie. So, how are things at Cheshire’s place?”

“Getting crowded. Tizzy and her husband are going to adopt a little girl. Cheshire is adopting another teenage girl that sneaked into Tizzy’s police car and Cheshire has a student who she has taken under her wing. I think she is going to turn her into an operator.”

“I can see why you want to leave now. Any problems with your operation?”

“No, ma’am. Everything is fine. I just want to put it to some use now and experience what it feels like to have a man make love to me.” Christine has only had one sexual experience before her operation. Now, she wants to see what it is like after her operation.

Nora just smiles at Christine's comment. “It’s good to hear from you, sweetie. I’m pulling up into the driveway. So, I’m going to let you go. Love you, sweetie.”

“I love you too, mom.” Christine misses Nora, but she needed a new beginning.

Instead of heading back to Cheshire’s place. Christine has lunch at a local restaurant.

Christine wakes up and notices she is naked and snuggled next to a naked man. She was extremely sore in between her legs and her mouth tasted funny. She tries to remember the events of last night, but they were a little fuzzy. The last thing she remembered was that she wanted to experience sex and had gone out last night.

She looks at the man that she was snuggled next to. He had dark tanned skin and well-developed muscles and chest. She looks at his face and jaw. She notices he looked similar to Tizzy’s husband. He had an intricate tribal tattoo that covered the right side of his chest and arm.

She starts kissing his chest and reaches down under the covers and massage his limp cock. She could feel it getting hard from her treatment. Christine had enjoyed herself last night as what they did came back to her.

Lache wakes up when he feels his cock being played with. He notices that the blonde hair young woman he came home with last night and made love too was playing with his cock. He feels her kissing his chest and sucking on his nipple.

He watches as she mounts him and looks down at him. Her lightly tanned skin looked flawless, as she starts going up and down on his cock. He grabs her petite waist and holds onto her as she rode him.

Christine notices that the man she came home with last night was awake and holding onto her waist. He helps as he lifts her up and down as she rode him. She loved how he felt inside of her body. It was like he was made just for her. He filled the hollow space the doctor had created inside her body.

She continues, till he erupts inside her body. She leans down and kisses him on the lips. She has waited since she knew she wanted to be a girl to finally feel what it is like to have a man inside her body. She squeezes his penis to milk it and holds it in her.

Lache felt as Christine tighten her muscles around his penis and milk it. He had discovered last night, that she was still a virgin. He kisses her for a few seconds and breaks the kiss, so the two of them can breathe.

“I think I created a monster.” As he kisses her lightly.

“You have no idea, how long I have waited for this.” Christine returns the kiss.

“Well, you have no idea what a wake-up call this is.” As he sucks her nipple into his mouth.

Christine moans as he sucks on her nipple. The next hour the two of them make love to each other on the bed and afterward they carry it to the shower. By the time they exit the shower, she is very sore from between her legs and from her anal opening.

Christine slips on one of Lache’s dress shirts and a clean pair of panties she keeps in her purse for emergencies. It was the weekend and she had text Cheshire to let her know she was safe and was with someone. She cooks breakfast for the two of them.

Cheshire’s House:
Krisha felt sorry for poor Lien. Lien, Omphile, and Catlin were moving very slowly after the exercise and running Cheshire had put them through. Her calves were hurting, but she was used to her mother’s exercise regimen. There was a path that leads through the jungle behind Cheshire’s house that went to the mountain not that far from the house.

Shur-khan and Simba had joined them as they jogged the path that leads to the edge of Cheshire’s property and through the back gate. The path continued from the back gate to the mountain and up the side of it. Lien and Omphile had a hard time keeping up, but they managed.

Cheshire made each girl wear five-pound ankle weights and carry a backpack filled with water bottles, first aid kits and snacks for themselves. Catlin was chafe from the panties she wore. The inside part of her thighs was red. Lien and Omphile made it three-quarters of the way back to the house and crawled the rest of the way.

Cheshire wanted to whip each girl into shape. She wasn’t going to show any special attention to any of the girls. As much as she would like too, she wanted each girl to learn how to depend on themselves.

All the girls sat in the hot tub naked, letting the hot water soak their bodies. Lien was the smallest among the four girls. Omphile was the next tallest. She was only six inches taller then Lien, but shorter then Krisha and Catlin. Krisha and Catlin were as tall as Cheshire. They were five foot seven inches tall. Krisha was Middle Eastern, Lien was Chinese, Catlin was part Irish, Omphile was Polynesian.

There was a lesbian relationship developing between Krisha and Catlin. Cheshire caught the two of them making out. She didn’t care if that was the way Krisha swung. She also didn’t blame her young daughter for not being interested in men. After the life Krisha had before coming to live with her and being forced to become a girl.

Cheshire did lay down some ground rules for the two of them. They were simple rules and Cheshire expected the two girls to follow them. As for Lien, she has come to trust Ikaika and was calling him daddy. She was also being spoiled by Tizzy.

Tizzy and Cheshire were teaching her English, so the rest of the family could communicate with her. Cheshire was also teaching Catlin, Krisha and Omphile Mongolian, so they could communicate with Lien. Omphile, Catlin, and Lien were taking ballet lessons with Krisha. Catlin and Lien also took gymnastics.

Lien looks at her aunt and Catlin. They were holding hands and Catlin was resting her head on Krisha’s shoulder. Omphile was resting her head against the edge of the tub with her eyes closed.

One of the snow leopards jumps up on the deck going around the hot tub. Lien looks at the markings on the fur of the leopard as it walks around towards Krisha. She noticed it was Kit.

“Aunt Krisha, it looks like Kit is lonely.”

Krisha pets Kit. She loves the Snow Leopards that she was given to raise. She was going to follow in Cheshire’s footsteps and become a zoologist, that specializes in large game cats like her mother. She doesn’t want to become like Tizzy or her mother. She has seen enough abuse to last her a life team.

She knew her mother was grooming Catlin to be exactly like her. She knew Catlin would make a good operative like her mother used to be. Catlin had an adventurous spirit and mischief personality. She was also loyal to her and loved her. Catlin was her soul mate. The missing piece of each other.

“She loves attention, little monkey.” Krisha heard Tizzy call Lien little monkey, just as Tizzy is called mouse and she was called kitten by Cheshire.

Omphile didn’t have a nickname yet. Christine’s nicknamed was Canary. Mostly because of her hair coloring, but because she was so good at changing her looks. Lian does wonder where Christine is. She didn’t come home last night.

“Alright, little monkey, its time for you to get out of the tub.” Tizzy had come outside to get Lien out of the tub.

Tizzy lifts Lien out of the tub and dry her off. She, her husband and Lien was going to go and look at houses for sale near her mother’s place.
There was one place near the back part of her mom’s property that was for sale. If she and Ikaika could get that property, all she would have to do is paid to have fncing come off her mother’s fencing to the back of her house.

“Where are you heading sis?” Krisha was curious.

“Me, Ikaika and your niece are going house hunting. Mom is taking the three of you out for lunch and to the mall. So, I suggest you go and get
ready.”

Tizzy knew her mother was going to spoil and pamper the girls today. She worked them hard this morning, so now she was being nice to them for their hard work. She picks Lien up and carries her inside the house.

Tizzy already had the outfit she wanted Lien to wear laid out. She dresses Lien in the clothes she laid out.

“So, how do you want your hair? Braided, free or in a ponytail?” Tizzy looks at her daughter.

“In a ponytail like yours, please.” Lien liked wearing her hair either braided or in a ponytail.

She like that Tizzy lets her choose and that she got her ears pierce as well. She was wearing a set that had emeralds in them. She sits still as Tizzy brushes her hair and put it in a ponytail afterward.

“There, all done. Let’s go and join your father.” Tizzy loved being a mother.

She leads Lien into the living room to join Ikaika. She spots him waiting on the two of them.

“Ah, my ladies are finally ready to go.” He smiles at Lien.

Lien just giggles as they walk out of the house and towards Ikaika’s car.

Ikaika was driving as they left the second house they had looked at. The one near Cheshire’s house was looking more and more like their best bet. The house was going to need some major work done to it. Tizzy knew her mother would want her to put a safe room and an armory in the house as well.

“So, where to now Tizzy?” Ikaika looks at his wife.

Tizzy looks in the back towards Lien “are you hungry, sweetie?”

Lien was quietly watching and listening to Tizzy and Ikaika as they were talking and driving. She looks at Tizzy as she spoke to her “I’m fine mom.”

Lien was enjoying herself. She liked some of the houses they went too so far. She couldn’t believe that Tizzy and Ikaika allowed her to come with them and wanted her opinion about the place as well. When she looked surprised at their request, they were worried. They really wanted her opinion about where she wanted to live.

“Okay, let us know when you want to have lunch, Lien.” Tizzy gives her a motherly smile and turns back around to look out the front windshield.

A few minutes later, Ikaika’s cellphone starts ringing. He answers it, while he is driving.

“Hey Ikaika, we have a sick tiger here at the zoo. Can you come in and see what is bothering him?”

“Is it Claudius?”

“Yes, how did you know?” Kalani was surprised Ikaika guess which tiger they called him about.

“I was hoping he would have gotten better. Okay, my family and I are heading there now.” Ikaika had glanced at Tizzy and she nodded her head yes to his unspoken question.

“Okay, I’ll see you when you get here.” Kalani ends the call.

Ikaika looks in the rearview mirror at Lien “hey kiddo, how would you like to see where I work?”

Lien just smiles at the mirror. She hasn’t been to the zoo before. She knew Ikaika worked at the zoo with the big cats.

Ikaika heads towards the Honolulu Zoo. That was where he met Tizzy, during one of their fundraisers with her mother. Her mother was a big supporter of the zoo, especially the large game cats exhibits.

It doesn’t take them long to arrive at the zoo. Ikaika enters through the employee’s entrance. The security guard at the entrance recognized
Tizzy from her visits to the zoo. He spots the little girl Ikaika told him so much about in the back seat of the car. She was everything he described her to be.

Ikaika stops at the gate “hey, Angus.”

“Hey, what brings you and the Mrs. up here?”

“Sick Tiger.”

‘Oh man. Is Claudius sick again?” Angus liked that old Tiger.

“Yep, he’s sick again. I’m going to see what I can do and if need be, I’ll call my mother-in-law. She has more experience dealing with big game cats.”

“Well, I hope he’s feeling better.” Angus knew Claudius was one of the zoo’s popular attractions.

Ikaika parks “okay, why don’t I go and see what is wrong with Claudius, while you take Lien around the zoo?”

“Sounds like a plan. What do you think Lien?” Tizzy looks at their adopted daughter.

Lien just smiles and holds Tizzy’s hand. She was ready to explore the zoo with her new mother.

Lache and Christine:
Christine looks down at Lache as she straddles his waist. He was buried deep inside her again. After breakfast, Christine and Lache decided to spend more time having sex. Christine was the one who seduced Lache into letting her have her way with him.

Lache looks up into Christine’s face as he plays with her breasts. He couldn’t believe how sexually active this young woman was. He could never imagine her being a guy, with the way she looked and acted. He feels Christine shiver when he erupts inside her. He could tell she came at the same time.

Christine closes her eyes when her orgasm hit her. She loved when she felt Lache erupt inside her body. The doctor that made her vagina did a good job, making so she felt the experience. She looks down into Lache’s hazel eyes and kisses him.

Lache stares into Christine's eyes as she just looked down into his. He could tell she was enjoying herself.

“So, is this going to be what our relationship is going to be built on?”

“No, I want to learn more about you. I already know that you’re a big movie buff and that you work as a stunt man.” Christine had seen his
collection of movie posters and they had talked a little during breakfast before they went back to having sex.

“Who was that person you sent a text to, this morning?” Lache was curious.

“That was my aunt. She worries if I don’t contact her. She’s like my mother in Memphis.” Christine knew Nora would worry about her as well.

“So, you’re from Memphis, Tennessee?”

“Yep, I was born and raised in the music capital.” Coming to Hawaii was the first time she had been out of Memphis.

“What does your mother do?” Lache wanted to know more about Christine.

“My adopted mother is a high school teacher and my birth mother is a secretary for an insurance company and messing around with a married man. My birth father is a warehouse loader, for a beverage company. He’s seeing a young woman that is the same age as I am.”

“Why do you have a foster mother?” Lache was curious about that.

“Well, its because she saved my life. There were these groups of people I rescued from a burning warehouse. The reason the warehouse was burning, was because a bad guy tried to blow the people I found up. So, because I saved them, he tried to kill me. My foster mother protected me and took me under her wing.”

“Wow! That sounds like a start to a movie or something.” Lache couldn’t believe someone would do that.

“Trust me, at the time it was really scary. The guy who tried to kill me also tried to kill two police officers, two bounty hunters, two US Marshal’s and the owner of a private security company. He also tried killing their big ass wolves.” Christine couldn’t believe how big the wolves were.

“Damn! He sounds dangerous.”

“He was. He sent an assassin after me and put an explosive on my motorcycle. My foster mother took care of the assassin.”

“I thought you said your foster mother was a high school teacher?”

“She is, but she is also a retired DSS agent.” Christine didn’t think Nora would mind letting Lache know she was a former DSS agent.

“So, who took out the person who sent the assassin after you?” Lache was curious about that.

“I can’t say, because it's kind of secret. Let’s just say you never want to have them come after you. The guy who tried killing me tried killing their children. Remember when I said two of them were police officers and a private security company owner?”

“Yeah, I remember.”

“Well, both police officers and the private security person were the children of the ones who took the killer down.”

“You know some dangerous people.” Lache couldn’t believe what Christine was telling him.

“Yeah, but they are family. So, what do you want to do for the rest of the day?”

“How about I take you out for lunch and we go catch a movie?” Lache thought Christine might like that idea.

“Sounds like a plan. Come and join me in the shower.” Christine gets up off Lache’s waist and pulls him up out of bed.

“Okay, but no more sex. I think you broke me.” Lache’s testicles were hurting him.

“I make no promises.” Christine gives him a kiss and pulls him to the bathroom.

Cheshire looks at her family as they sit around at the dining room table. Christine was glowing and Cheshire could guess that Christine has been enjoying herself. It was a good thing that she couldn’t get pregnant, but then again she figures Christine would make a good mother.

She looks at Tizzy and a smile appears on her face. She was so proud of how Tizzy turned out. She had been a scared malnourished, beaten
little boy, who was ready to end it all. Now she was a grown caring woman with a child of her own and a husband.

Her attention drifts to her newest girls. Krisha, Omphile, and Catlin. Catlin was on her way to become her newest operative. She had raw talent, but not the training. Krisha was going to make a wonderful ballerina. Cheshire knew how much she loved to dance. She’ll make sure
Krisha learns more than ballet. That way if she doesn’t want to follow that path or something happens, she can do something else.

As for Omphile, she still needs to observe her some more to see where her talents lay. The IQ test she had the doctor give Omphile while she was in the private hospital, showed her to be slightly above average. She wanted to see what other talents Omphile posse naturally.

“So, did you find a house you liked, sis?” Krisha looks over towards Tizzy and her husband.

“Yes. I’m going to get the one that connects to mom's property. That way Simba and Shur Khan can still be together and have more room to explore.”

“You mean to scare people. Most of the residence around here are scared of those two big cats.” Krisha had seen how some of her mother’s neighbors avoided the two of them.

“They shouldn’t be near our fence. If they are teasing or messing with our cats, then they deserve what they get.” Tizzy remembers one more when she was little that use to come up and tease Shur Khan.

So, she left the side gate open and watched as Shur Khan chased the bastard. She got her butt whipped by her mom, but it was worth it. The residences got a little upset until she showed them that the boy started it.

“You are such a momma’s girl.” Krisha was teasing her big sister.

“That I am, that I am. So, is my daughter. She’s such a momma’s girl.” Tizzy looks down at Lien with a smile on her face.

“I wish I had the type of relationship you have with your mother, then I have with mine.” Catlin loved how Cheshire’s family was so tight.

“You always have us, Catlin.” Krisha gently squeezes Catlin’s hand.

Her and Catlin had a blossoming relationship developing between them. She knew Catlin has always been friendly to her, but she never knew how Catlin felt about her. It wasn’t until Catlin started spending more time with her that she learned how Catlin felt. She had crawled into bed with her and started kissing and pleasing her.

Her, Alyona and Silvia had all been in the group of women the human smugglers were trying to sell. The three of them had their testicles cut off and given large quantities of estrogen. The smugglers had turned the three of them into shemales. The smugglers had some clients that loved shemales. Alyona was the most attractive of the three of them. She also had a deep Russian accent. Silvia was next and then her. Cheshire allowed her to get plastic surgery to enhance her breasts and fill out her hips and butt cheeks. After her experience being a sex slave, she never wants to be with another man.

“Hey Cheshire, I had an idea and wanted to run it by you first, before asking uncle Jack.”

“Up oh, Christine had an idea.” Tizzy looks over towards Christine with a teasing look on her face.

Christine just sticks out her tongue at Tizzy. She knew Tizzy was teasing her.

“What’s your idea, Christine?” Cheshire smirked when Tizzy teased Christine.

“I was wondering if I could use what happened to me, Tizzy and the others and write a script for a movie?” Christine watches Cheshire.

“It does sound like an interesting idea. Why don’t you go ahead and write the script? I’ll look at it and let Jack look at it to see what you put in
it.” Cheshire figures Christine didn’t know everything that happened. So she could improvise on the script.

“Thank you, Aunt Cheshire.” Christine was pleased that Cheshire was going to let her write it.

Cheshire just shakes her head. She never thought she would ever have a family after all the things she had been through.

“What are you thinking about, mom?” Tizzy noticed her mother thinking about something after speaking with Christine.

Cheshire smiles and just looks at her daughter “just about you guys. How lucky I am to have all of you.”

“It’s us, mom, that is lucky to have you.” Tizzy knew how much her mother wanted a big family. There was a lot the other girls didn’t know
about their mother, that she did.

Later in the day, Cheshire’s private encrypted cellphone starts ringing. She recognized the ring tone because it sounded like wolves growling.
She presses the accept button “hello Jack. What do I owe the honor of your call?”

“Remember that organization that has been acting as target practice for us?”

“You mean the Hunter Organization?” A smile appears on Cheshire’s face because she gave the order to two of her operatives to send a clear and loud message to them.

“Yes, those morons. Well, they want to have a parlay with me about putting an end to this mess. If you're not busy, I was wondering if you would like to come along for it.”

“I think I can rearrange my schedule. Do you want me to bring the whole family or just me?” Cheshire didn’t want to leave behind her pupil. She figures this would be a good experience for Catlin.

“Go ahead and bring anyone you like too.” Jack figures Cheshire might bring Shur Khan to scare these people.

“Alright. When is this parlay going to happen?”

“I’ll set it for two weeks from today. That way I can pick a nice public location for this.”

“You mean so Anika will have a nice kill shot.” Cheshire knew Anika was one of their best sharpshooters around. Tizzy didn’t come anywhere
close to how Anika was.

“Maybe. I have a niece that is as good as Anika. You remember what Casey can do.” Casey’s father trained her to handle a gun since she
could walk.

“Oh, speaking of Casey. She and my niece are working together. They stumbled across some interesting things. I have our special group
working on it.” Cheshire couldn’t believe the report she got from Sandy.

“What have they found?” Jack was curious now.

“Let’s just say that the Hunter’s had several items that the Hawaiian government is going to want back. You remember my niece was born with a unique talent but doesn’t use it that much.”

“I remember. She could make a fortune if she chose to use it.” Jack knew that Charlotte could communicate with the dead.

Normally, he wouldn’t have believed it, but when she gave him a message from his dead wife. She made a believer out of him. He knew Charlotte didn’t like using her ability.

“Yes she could, but Charlotte can’t handle the emotions that the ghost carries with them. She’s a lot like Julia in that respect. She wears her emotions on her sleeves.” Cheshire knows Julia lets her emotions show. That was what made her such a good cop.

“True. I’ll call you back with the location and time the meeting will take place.” Jack ends the call.

Krisha and Catlin’s bedroom:
Catlin watches from the bed as Krisha changes out of her leotard. She loved the curves Krisha had. If her parents knew she was a lesbian, they would freak out. They would also freak out to learn that Mrs. Patel was training her to be an operative.

She saw how sore Krisha’s feet looked from wearing the pointy dance shoes. She wonders if Krisha's feet were hurting her.

“Sweetie, come over here, so I can massage your feet.” She pats the spot next to her on Krisha’s bed.

Krisha walks over to her bed and sits down. Her feet were hurting her from the routine her mother had her practice. Her mother was making her practice hard for the recital coming up. She places her feet on Catlin's lap.

Catlin starts massaging Krisha’s feet. A low moan escapes from Krisha’s mouth, as Catlin eases the pain she was feeling. A smile appears on
Catlin’s face as she hears Krisha moan in pleasure. She loved Krisha’s exotic looks. Krisha had come from a village in India, where she was sold to pay her parent's debt.

Since she had been born with soft looks, the smugglers decided that she would make a cute shemale. She hated what she was forced to do and what was done to her. Some of the men that used her, enjoyed inflicting pain on her.

“Krisha, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?” Catlin notices Krisha had her eyes closed.

“What’s your question?” Krisha opens her eyes and looks at Catlin.

“Do you hate being a woman now?” Catlin was curious about how Krisha felt.

“At first, I hated everything that the smugglers did to me and who they forced me to have sex with. But since I was rescued by Tizzy, Julia and
Gina and taken in by my mom. I don’t mind being a girl. I can tell you this, I’ll never let a man put his penis in me ever again.” Venom was dripping on those words.

“So, does that mean I can have my wicked ways with you?” Catlin slides her hands up Krisha’s legs towards her groin area.

“Yes, that means you can do whatever you want to me.” Krisha leans forward and kisses Catlin.

Christine cracks her knuckles and looks at her opened laptop. She had a pile of notes sitting next to it as she prepares to start writing the movie script. She was wearing a pair of comfortable shorts and a light baby blue camisole. She was still on medical leave until she was fully healed from her operation. Even though she and Lache have been having sex on a regular base.

A smile appears on her face as she thinks about what they did last night. Lache was at work at the moment, so she had her place to herself for a while. Lache has been spending a lot of time at her place.

She didn’t mind, because the two of them were a perfect match for one another. He loved movies and being a stuntman. He loved her special effects work as well. He was the reason she was putting the adventure she experienced down on paper and turning it into a movie script.

Christine knew she’ll have to change a few details. She’ll also like to get more details from Cheshire and Jack on how they located the agent that tried to kill her and their kids. She starts tapping away on the keyboard of the laptop. She was following the format she had been taught in school.

Occasionally, she grabs the legal pad that she had layout the events of what took place. Some of it was missing, so she’ll have to get with Kat and Paul from K&P Services to get their view of events. She’ll have to contact Julia and her sister Gina as well. Tizzy gave her, her share of events that leads to her getting involved in the matter.

Christine continues to work on the movie script. She loses track of time as she tunes out everything around her. Around five in the evening, her cellphone starts ringing. She stops and checks the caller id to see who it was. She notices it was Lache contacting her.

She presses the accept button “Hey sweetie, what’s up?”

“I’m my way to your place. I thought we would go to the Blue Lagoon tonight for dinner. So, why don’t you go and get ready?” Lache wanted to take Christine somewhere nice for dinner.

Christine looks at the time and how many pages she got done on the script. She couldn’t believe that she was up to sixty pages already.

“Alright, I’ll be ready when you get here Lache.” Christine ends the phone call and saves her work.

Afterward, she heads towards the bathroom to take a shower.

Natsuki Dance Studio:
“Again, Krisha.” Akari watches Krisha as she performs the solo selection she was going to perform during the recital.

She was impressed with Krisha’s performance. Since Cheshire first brought Krisha to her. She has seen Krisha mature into a remarkable
dancer. Krisha had a lot of passion and her body responded to the music in ways she has never seen other dancers do.

Akari continues to push Krisha during the whole practice. After about two hours “that’s enough for now, Krisha.”

Krisha stops what she was doing and looks over towards her instructor. Her feet were hurting her, but she was getting used to the pain. She walks over to her water bottle and takes a sip from it.

“You are ready for the recital, Krisha.” Akari walks over to her student.

“That’s good to hear, Mrs. Natsuki.” Krisha liked her dance instructor.

She has been learning under her since Cheshire brought her to Hawaii and adopted her. She didn’t know what was going to happened to her, after Julia, Gina and Tizzy rescued her. She couldn’t go back home. Her parents would resell her again, and who knows who would buy her.

“Is your mother picking you up, Krisha or your sister?” Akaria knew either Cheshire, Tizzy or the new woman she met named Christine would pick Krisha up after her practice.

“My sister is picking me up. Hopefully, she isn’t late, like she was last time.”

Tizzy had been an hour late, last time she picked her up. Krisha knew her older sister had gotten caught up in chasing down a perp. She loved her older sister a lot, but sometimes Tizzy could be a little forgetful about things.

Krisha starts packing her stuff up and when she walks outside, she notices Tizzy’s police Challenger waiting for her. She walks over to it and climbs inside. She looks at Tizzy “you didn’t forget this time.”

Tizzy just smirks “I got done with my paperwork early for once.”

Tizzy hated paperwork, but she had let it get away from her. She also filed the paperwork she needed for all the permits she was going to need for the renovations to the house she was buying. She got approved for the loan she would need. The bank manager was more than happy to approve the loan since her mother did business with the bank.

Once Krisha has the seat belt, Tizzy puts her car into drive and starts heading towards home. She wonders what they were going to have for
dinner and who’s turn it was to cook.

“How was practice today?” Tizzy glances at Krisha.

“Good, Mrs. Natsuki loved the way I performed my solo for the recital. I could tell how much she loved it.” Krisha had seen the passion in her
dance instructors' eyes.

“Well, after all the practice mom puts you through, I wouldn’t expect anything less.” Tizzy knew how demanding her mother could be.

As she is heading home, a car speeds by her. Following behind the car were two police cars.

“Hold on Krisha.” Tizzy steps on the gas and starts chasing after the other car.

Krisha watches as her sister chases after the other car. She braces herself as her sister zig and zags through traffic.

“Now, I understand why mom always criticizes your driving.” Krisha knew her sister was a crazy driver.

“I’m not reckless, not like mom said.” Tizzy zigs around another car.

“Yeah, right. You’re worst then mom when she chases after someone.” Krisha has ridden with her mother when she was after someone.

“Mom would never hurt you. She cares very much about family.” Tizzy dodges out of the way of a pick-up truck.

“Mom might not kill me, but your driving is making me car sick.” Krisha was starting to develop motion sickness from Tizzy’s driving.

Tizzy just shakes her head as she manages to slide pass the car they were chasing after and whipped her Challenger around and block the other driver. The other police cars that had joined the chase stop behind them and block the car from going backward.

Tizzy gets out of her car and points her weapon at the driver of the other car. She was making sure she was between the driver and Krisha, just in case the other driver starts shooting.

“Get out with your hands up.” Tizzy had her gun trained on the driver.

The young man gets out with his hands up. His passenger gets out with their hands up as well.

“Get down on the ground with your hands behind your back.” Tizzy was keeping a close watch on the man before her.

The young man falls to the ground with his hands behind his back. She couldn’t believe how young the man was. He was no older then Krisha.

“He’s all yours, officer Mahoe.”

“Thanks for the help, Detective.” Officer Mahoe looks at Tizzy as she puts her gun away.

“Anytime.” Tizzy walks back to her car and heads home with Krisha.

Lien does as her grandmother tells her. The other girls were exercising with her. All of them were wearing different color leotards. She had on a pink one, that she had picked out when she went shopping with her mother. Krisha and Catlin wore identical leotards that were high cut.

Omphile had on one that had flowers all over it. She loved flowers and liked anything that had a floral design to it.

Her mother and father were at work and Christine had gone back to work as well. Krisha and Catlin were on Winter break. Omphile and herself were being homed school for a while by Cheshire.

“Come on girls, you can do better than that.” Cheshire looks at her daughters and granddaughter.

She was trying to get them to move together in time with one another. Krisha and Catlin were in sync with each other. Lien was a little behind and Omphile was behind Lien in her timing.

“Alright, one more time, ladies.” Cheshire starts the music again and counts out the timing.

She watches as Lien starts syncing with Krisha and Catlin. She stops the girls after a while and goes over to Omphile and shows her the movement again. She reassures Omphile that she isn’t mad at her.

Cheshire knows she needs to rebuild Omphile’s confidence and self-esteem after the way the poor girl was treated. She sees a lot of potential in Omphile. As she is helping Omphile, she hears the doorbell ring.

“I got it, grandma.” Lien races from the exercise room towards the front of the house, with Kit following behind her.

Cheshire just shakes her head as she watches Lien run towards the front of the house. She walks over to where her cellphone was and looks to see who it was at the front door. She notices two men in suits standing at the front door.

Lien opens the front door with Kit standing next to her. She looks at the two men on the other side “can I help you?”

Agent Mulaney and Agent Karl are surprised when a young oriental girl dressed in a pink leotard opened the front door. They notice that she had some sort of cat standing next to her.

“Yes, we’re here to speak with Cheshire Patel. Is she available?” Agent Mulaney didn’t know that Cheshire had a young Oriental girl staying with her.

“One minute.” Lien shuts the door.

Her mother and Grandmother told her to never let anyone into the house unless one of them were with her. She was about to go back to the exercise room when she spots her grandmother coming towards her.

“Grandma, there’s two guys in suits at the front door and they want to talk to you.” Lien has been practicing her English with her mother’s help.

“Thank you, Lien. Go tell your aunts that they can go and soak.” Cheshire smiles at her granddaughter.

Lien returns her grandmother's smile “okay.”

Cheshire watches as her granddaughter skips off towards the exercise room. She waits until Lien is far enough away before she exits her house and steps outside. She didn’t know who they were, but she knew their type.

Agent Mulaney and Agent Karl look at the neighborhood Cheshire lived in. They spotted at least five houses, including hers. Most of them had an open design and looked to had been built back in the fifties. Cheshire’s was more up to date and more modern.

They wonder why a woman with her background was living such a mundane life. She could have anything she wanted and live anywhere she wanted. Also, their intel never mentioned a little Oriental girl.

After a few minutes, the front door opens and standing in the doorway was the woman they came to see. Agent Mulaney looks at the woman standing in the doorway and wonders if she was the same woman they were told to come and talk to. He was expecting a harden senatorial looking woman. He didn’t expect the old normal-looking woman standing before him. She looked like she could be someone’s trainer, the way she was dressed.

“Can I help you, gentlemen?” Cheshire looks at the two agents standing before her.

“Yes, We have been sent to deliver a message to you, Mrs. Patel. The Director of the CIA would like for you to come to Washington D.C. to
answer for the three agents you murdered.” Agent Mulaney was instructed to be careful around Mrs. Patel. He was warned that she was extremely deadly.

“And when I’m I suppose to be there?” Cheshire watches both men. She doesn’t think they would be stupid to do anything in front of her home.

“Now, you’re to come with us.” Agent Mulaney and Agent Karl were told to bring Cheshire if she won’t come on her own accord.

A sly smile appears on Cheshire’s face “unfortunately gentlemen, your timing sucks. I have other appointments.”

“Well, you’re just going to have to cancel those appointments and come with us, old lady.” Agent Karl wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

“What my colleague means Mrs. Patel, is we were told to politely ask you to come willingly. If you refuse, we’re to use any means necessary to
make you come. Now, I don’t think you would want any harm to befall that young girl that answered the door? Or any of the other young girls that are your daughters.” Agent Mulaney was hoping that Cheshire would think twice before doing anything stupid if she thought they would hurt her family.

It was a gamble to threaten her family, but most people responded better if they thought their family was going to be hurt. He tried to gauge how she was going to react, but he couldn't read her. Most people, including agents you could tell how they would respond. However, he couldn’t get a read on her.

Cheshire knew she could drop both men without breaking a sweat. She also knew if they were dumb enough to assault her girls, they wouldn’t be walking out of the house. Shur Khan and Simba would make sure of that.

“You might want to forget about going after my granddaughter and my daughters. You won’t be walking out of the house alive.”

“And why’s that, old woman?” Agent Karl looks at Cheshire with a smile on his face.

“You’ll find out.” A smile appears on Cheshire’s face.

Just as Agent Karl was about to pull his gun. The sound of a motorcycle could be heard coming towards them. Cheshire notices that there was a cab behind the motorcycle as well. Agent Mulaney spots both vehicles as they pulled up to Cheshire’s house.

Charlotte spotted two men dress in business suits standing in front of her aunt when she pulled into her aunt’s driveway. Something about the way the men looked and the posture of her aunt said something wasn’t right.

She takes her helmet off and carries it with her as she approaches, Cheshire. Charlotte hears the cab behind her stop. She waits until Leslie and Casey join her before she does anything.

Leslie and Casey spotted Charlotte stopping at her aunt’s place. They also notice two men in business suits standing in front of an older oriental woman. She was standing a few feet in front of the front door.

When they get out of the cab, after paying the driver. They walk over to stand with Charlotte “what do you think is going on?”

“I don’t know, but do you see how my aunt is standing?” Charlotte knew her aunt and how she stood and the way it looked to her. Cheshire was ready to strike.

Leslie looks at the older woman and noticed the slight body language about her. The only reason she noticed it, was because that was part of her stage magician training.

“Let’s go and see if your aunt needs an assistant.” Leslie slips some small steel ball bearing into her hand.

The three women start walking towards Agent Mulaney and Agent Karl. Charlotte had a tight hold on her helmet, Casey had both her hands free and Leslie had several steel ball bearings in her right hand if she needed them.

Agent Mulaney and Agent Karl look at the three women as they approached their location. Agent Mulaney had noticed a smile appear Cheshire’s face.

“Fuck!” Agent Karl didn’t like the fact that three more people had shown up.

He looks towards Cheshire “get rid of them.”

“Hi, Aunt Cheshire. Is there a problem?” Charlotte stands near her aunt. Putting herself between the men and her aunt.

“Yes, these men would like for me to go with them to Washington D.C.”

“Oh, really?” Charlotte looks at the two agents.

“Who are you two gentlemen and I use that term lightly.” Leslie looks at the two men.

“None of your business and this doesn’t concern you.” Agent Karl looks at the dark-haired woman.

“Actually, it does. You see, we are here to see Mrs. Patel and unless she says otherwise. You gentlemen will say goodbye and let us tend to
our business.” Casey knew government agents when she spots them.

Agent Mulaney noticed that the one woman who looked like she was a native of Hawaii had positioned herself close to Cheshire and between
them. The other two women had separated and taken up positions that they could attack them easily.

“Gentlemen, if you want this to degrade from the conversation we are having. I will see you in Washington D.C. in one week.” Cheshire had a slight smile on her face.

Lien had gone and told her aunts what Cheshire told her. Krisha and Catlin rushed towards the window that looked out onto the front lawn. Omphile and Lien were at another window that allowed them to see the front yard. None of the girls knew the other three women outside that had shown up and were standing near Cheshire.

“Do you think I should call my mom?’ Lien looks towards Krisha.

“I think that might be wise. While you’re doing that. Catlin and I will go out through my bedroom window and come around from the side to help grandma.” Krisha smacks Catlin on her ass, as she runs towards her bedroom.

“Ow!” Catlin runs after Krisha.

Lien goes and gets her cellphone that her mother gave her and press number two on it. She knew her mother programmed her phone to make it easy for her during an emergency. She hopes her mother isn’t too far away.

Tizzy was heading home for lunch, instead of eating out. Her husband was busy at the zoo. She was looking forward to spending time with her daughter. Lien was making great progress in learning that she didn’t have to fear being taken or abused by her or Ikaika.

She dropped her partner off at his house, so he could spend time with his wife. While she was sitting at a stoplight, her cellphone starts ringing.
She glances at the number and notices that it was her daughter’s number “hello Lien, is anything wrong?”

“Mom, there are two men and three women outside right now with grandma.” Lien had moved over to stand next to Omphile.

“Where are you and your aunts, Lien?” Tizzy flips her lights on and speeds towards her mother’s house.

“I and Omphile are watching grandma from the living room and aunt Krisha and Catlin are going out her bedroom window to sneak up on the
men and the three women outside.” Lien was still watching with her aunt next to her.

Tizzy was trying to figure out who the three women and two men were. She zigs and zags through traffic with her lights and sirens flashing and
sounding. She knew it was going to take her about ten minutes to arrive at her mother’s house.

Out Front of Cheshire’s House:
Agent Karl looks at the three women and Cheshire. He and Agent Mulaney were given strict orders. They were told to bring Mrs. Patel in.

“Enough of this.” Agent Karl lunges to punch the one woman near him.

Leslie smiles as she grabs Agent Karl’s arm and uses his momentum against him. She spins around on one foot and kicks agent Karl in the back of his head. The three-ball bearing she had been holding in her hands. She tosses them at agent Karl and causes them to hit him in the chest.

Agent Mulaney had gone to strike the girl protecting Cheshire but misses. She had brushed his attack aside like it was nothing. The other woman who had taken to the side of him. She strikes him on the side of his neck with just her finger.

Charlotte uses an atemi attack on the other side of Agent Mulaney’s neck. She saw Casey do the same thing on the opposite side of his neck.
A smile appears on Charlotte’s face “you try striking either of us again and we will kill you with one more touch.”

Agent Karl was about to try and strike Leslie when he gets hit from behind by Krisha and Catlin. Krisha had high kicked the back of his head, while Catlin kicked him in the middle of the back. She pulled her kick, so as not to crack his spine.

“Alright girls, I think they have had enough.” Cheshire looks at all the girls.

Agent Mulaney looks at the two who attacked him “who are you?”

“We’re Angels,” Charlotte remembered the old television show from the late ’70s called Charlie’s Angels.

She loved watching Sabrina Duncan and the other two angels solve crimes. When they made the two movies with Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu
and Cameron Michelle Diaz she thought they were okay. She didn’t like the two people who played Bosley that much in the movies.

Krisha and Catlin watch the man on the ground before them. They didn’t know who the woman was, but she was defending their mother and teacher, so she couldn’t be a bad person.

“Now, gentlemen. Like I said before, I will see the director in Washington D.C. in a week.” Cheshire had just stood and watched the girls defend
her.

“I don’t know why the director is so concerned about you. You had to call in extra help to handle us.” Agent Karl looks at Cheshire with anger on his face.

“You are stupid if you think Cheshire needed us to beat you guys. If she had attacked you. You would be dead right now and heading back to Washington D.C. in a pine box.” Charlotte looked at Agent Karl as he knelt on the ground between Leslie and the two teenage girls in dance leotards.

“I don’t believe she’s that dangerous. She’s an old woman who should be in an old person’s home.” Agent Karl still didn’t believe Cheshire was dangerous.

Cheshire walks over to Agent Karl and kneels before him. She grips his chin with her hand and forces him to look into her eyes “if I wanted to kill you, agent Karl. I would have done it already. I’m tired of killing people, to just make a point. Now, you and your partner will leave here and go back to Washington D.C. and inform whoever you report too, that I will be there by the end of the week.” She releases his chin and stands up.

They could hear police sirens coming towards them. A few seconds later a black Dodge Challenger with flashing police lights pulls up. Tizzy stops her car in front of her mother’s home. She didn’t know who the three women were, but she spotted her mother standing before a kneel gentleman. Behind him were Krisha and Catlin in their dance leotards

“Is everything okay, mom?” Tizzy had her gun in her hand.

“Everything is, okay sweetie. These gentlemen were just about to leave. Weren’t you?” Cheshire looks down at agent Karl.

“Yes.” He stands up slowly and looks towards Tizzy.

He and agent Mulaney was informed that she was part of a special task force. The task force was put together by the governor to handle
special crimes on the Island. The file they had on her mentioned that she has been involved in several human trafficking cases and on a special task force put together to capture a rough agent. She was also the cousin of Julia and Gina Bounty and Cheshire’s oldest daughter.

“Sweetie, could you be a dear and have HPD escort these men back to the airport?” Cheshire looks at her oldest daughter.

“On it, mom.” Tizzy radios for four HPD patrol cars to become to her mother’s house.

Cheshire looks at Krisha and Catlin “go inside and change your clothes girls.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Krisha looks at the man she high kicked in the head.

Catlin looks at the man “count yourself, lucky mister, that we were easy on you.”

She follows behind Krisha as they head inside the house. When they walked in, they notice Lien waving towards her mother from the window.

“Come away from the window, Lien.” Krisha walks over towards her niece.

Omphile walks away from the window. She heads back towards her bedroom to change out of her clothes.

Tizzy saw her daughter waving towards her and waved back. She was glad that she had stayed in the house with Omphile. She did keep her gun trained on the two men. As she kept watching the other women, her attention kept going back to the Polynesian woman. She knew her from somewhere but couldn’t remember who she was.

After fifteen minutes, four HPD patrol cars show up at Cheshire’s house. Tizzy steps aside to talk with them.

“Your escorts are here, gentlemen.” Casey had a sly grin on her face.

Tizzy comes walking over to Agent Karl and Agent Mulaney “let’s go gentlemen. If you decide to try to lose your escort. I will personally come after you. Now, get in your car and leave.”

All the women and Cheshire watch as the agents walk back to their car and get into it. The police patrol cars that showed up to escort them. They take up a position and escort the agents away from Cheshire’s house.

Cheshire looks over towards Tizzy “Tizzy meet your cousin Charlotte and her friends Casey and Leslie Hollander. Casey is Jack’s niece.”

“Now I remember you. You came to visit me when I was in the hospital after my surgery.” Tizzy just had some surgery to make her look more feminine.

“Sorry, for not visiting more often over the years.” Charlotte felt bad for not visiting her cousin more.

“It’s alright, so does anyone want to tell me what the hell is going on?” Tizzy looks towards her mother.

“We’ll talk about this matter inside.” Cheshire turns around and heads into the house.

“So, what brings you ladies to my home?” Cheshire looks at Leslie, Casey, and her niece Charlotte.

She takes a sip of her tea, that Krisha had made for her. The other girls were changing and would join them, afterward. Lien was still the only one in her leotard.

Tizzy was sitting nearby out in the sunroom with them, with her daughter Lien sitting on her lap. She had her arms wrapped around Lien’s body as she leaned against her chest. She loved being a mother so far and wonder what Lien was going to go up and be liked. She does know, that she doesn’t want Lien to become an operative or a cop either.

Lien was enjoying being held by Tizzy and sitting on her lap. She wonders who the other women were. She learned that the Polynesian looking woman was her grandmother’s niece.

“Besides seeing you, Aunt Cheshire?” Charlotte had a smile on her face.

“I’m hoping you can help me and tell me what this writing is on the side of my neck.” Leslie moves her hair aside to let Cheshire see it.

Cheshire leans forward to look at the writing. In was in ancient Chinese “that is a protection charm. The writing is old. Where and why did you get that done to your neck?” Cheshire leans back in her chair.

“She didn’t auntie. It has something to do with that necklace around her neck.” Charlotte was sitting on the right-hand side of Cheshire.

“Oh?” Cheshire looks closer at Leslie and notices the dragon necklace with the jade centerpiece.

“Yeah, Oh!” Leslie noticed Cheshire’s reaction.

Tizzy and Lien were curious about the necklace. Lien leans forward to look at the necklace as well. She was curious about the thing.

Cheshire looks up at Leslie “where did you get that?” There was a serious tone to her question.

“I found it at the house me, my wife and your niece went too.” Leslie figures that she shouldn’t lie to this woman. Something about her scared
her.

Cheshire looks at her niece “he had that necklace?”

“Yes, ma’am.” Charlotte knew better than to lie to her aunt.

“Mom, what is so special about that necklace?” Tizzy was curious and she knew her daughter was too.

“It’s a historical artifact that dates back to when China was just a bunch of hereditary monarchies and dynasties. It used to belong to the most
celebrated magician of that time. Toy Xiao-xing was one of the most prominent magicians of that age.” Cheshire stands up and walks over to one of her bookcases.

Lien slides off her mother’s lap and walks over to her grandmother “what are you looking for, grandma?”

“An ancient light brown bound book, sweetie.” Cheshire didn’t see it in the sunroom bookcase.

She walks back over to her seat and sits down. She figures it must be in the bookcase in her bedroom or her office. She knew she had the book because it was still written in Chinese.

“So, is this why I can’t take it off and why this protection tattoo showed up on my, Mrs. Patel?” Leslie just wanted to know why it was doing things she has never seen done before.

“That I can’t answer. However, I do know someone who might be able to help you. You’ll find him in China town on the mainland. If you want, I can give you his address.” Cheshire figures Sunzi Zedong might be able to help Leslie. He knows more about ancient Chinese cultures than
anyone she knew.

Leslie looks at her wife. Technically they were still on their honeymoon and they had a new yacht they could take to go there. She would love to know more about the necklace and Toy Xiao-xing.

“Yes, we can go.” Casey knew what Leslie’s unspoken question was.

Lien had crawled back onto Tizzy’s lap. She wonders what was so special about the woman’s necklace and who they were.

“Is the other matter I sent you to handle done, Charlotte.”

“If you mean that Hunter, Mrs. Patel, and his residents. It’s been taken care of. I do have one question. Why are they after my family?” Casey
was curious.

“Well, to be honest with you. It’s not your Uncle that started it. It was your cousin, Gina. She was investigating why one of her employees of a security firm was an attack.” Cheshire got the information from Jack and an agent of hers in New York.

Krisha, Omphile, and Catlin come walking into the sunroom. Krisha didn’t know any of the women sitting with her mother.

“Girls, I would like for you to meet your cousin Charlotte and Jack’s niece, Casey, and her wife Leslie. Charlotte, Leslie, and Casey, I would like
to introduce my other daughter Krisha, my apprentice Catlin and my newest adopted daughter Omphile. You have already met my granddaughter Lien and my oldest daughter Tizzy.”

“It’s nice to meet you, ladies.” Casey had a smile on her face. She noticed that Catlin stood close to Krisha.

Omphile had a curious look on her face. Krisha and Catlin stood close to each other. They also were curious about Leslie and Casey. They had never met a married lesbian couple before.

“Mom why don’t our guests stay for dinner. It would be nice to know more about our cousin and Jack’s niece.” Tizzy spotted Simba outside the sunroom glass wall.

“I think that is a good suggestion.” Cheshire figures it would be nice for Leslie, Casey, and Charlotte to learn more about their cousins.

One of the snow leopards comes running into the sunroom. Krisha noticed it was Kit. She snaps her fingers. Kit runs over to her.

“Mom said you had cats, but she said you dealt mostly with large cats.” Casey had heard stories about Cheshire from her mom.

“Oh, we do. Let me introduce Simba to you ladies.” Tizzy gets up after lifting Lien off her lap and walk over to the sliding glass door to let Simba in.

Leslie’s eyes get big when a big tiger-cat comes walking in. She couldn’t believe Cheshire had big cats roaming around on her property. She squeezes Casey’s hand.

Casey just smears, because she had a special breed of dogs she raised along with her uncle.

“That’s a big cat.” Casey couldn’t believe how big Simba was.

“But he’s a good kitty.” Lien walks over and gives Simba a big hug.

“This is my mommies kitty cat, Simba. Grandma’s cat Shur-Khan is out in the jungle.” Lien has grown fawn of Simba.

Casey and Leslie watch as Tizzy’s daughter hugs the big cat. Now Casey understood why people feared Cheshire. Who would be nuts to attack a woman who has two grown cats?

“Come on Krisha and Catlin, let’s get dinner going.” Tizzy had a smirk on her face as she heads towards the kitchen.

Krisha and Catlin follow behind Tizzy towards the kitchen. Omphile watches as the three women head towards the kitchen.

“Omphile, why don’t you come over and sit down. I think you and Charlotte should get to know one another.”

Christine looks down at Lache as he slept. She wore him out last night while trying a few positions out of the Kama Sutra book she picked up. All those years she had been celibate, would put a priest to shame. A shiver travels down her body, as she just stands and admires Lache’s sleeping form.

She could feel the fluids Lache deposited in her vagina sliding out and down the inside of her legs. She heads into the bathroom and does her morning routine. Today, she was working from home. The place she was working for, wanted her to create three different alien-looking masks.

Before she and Lache did the horizontal tango last night. She made a cast of his head to use to help her make the mask. Once she was done with making the bust. She and Lache had fun exploring each other’s bodies.

Christine heads back into her bedroom, where Lache was still sleeping. She slips on a clean pair of panties, shorts and a loose t-shirt she made that had printed on it “KISS MY GRITS!”

She sits down at her workbench and starts applying latex to the bust she made. After she has the face the way she wanted it. She gets up and starts fixing a cup of coffee. She had sketched out the mask she wanted to make. All three were different and hopefully, her new boss will like them.

Once her coffee is finished, she heads back into her workroom and works on the mask. Christine loses herself in her work, as she shapes and
contours the mask. She moves her hips back and forth to the music she was listening too.

Lache had woken up and noticed that Christine wasn’t in bed with him. He gets up and heads to the bathroom first. He does his business and heads towards her workroom. It felt weird last night when she made a bust of his head. She hasn’t made one of his penis yet, but he knows she might.

He peeks his head in and saw she was airbrushing a mask she had created, using the bust she made. He saw her hips moving side to side to the music she was listening too. She had her earphones on.

He walks up behind her and rubs her ass. He feels her stop and feel her bump his hands with her ass.

“Didn’t you get enough, last night?” As he rubs her cute ass.

“A girl can never get enough from her man. However, I’m at a delicate stage here.” As much as Christine, wanted Lache to take her from behind. She wanted to finish the coloring on the mask.

A smirk appears on Lache’s face. He steps to the side to look at the mask Christine was working on “Wow! I like it.”

“Thanks, my new boss wanted me to create three alien masks. This is just the first one.”

“How come he wanted you to create three?” Lache was curious.

“I think he wanted to see how creative I am. That’s why I needed to make a bust of your head.” Christine fills in an area with her air gun.

Lache just watches Christine as she worked. He loved how creative she was and how she enjoyed special effects.

“What do you want for breakfast?” Lache figures he would make breakfast for them.

“Scramble eggs, cheesy grits, and sausage would be nice.” Christine knew Lache didn’t like grits.

She kept some instant grits in the cabinet when she was in the mood for them. She watches Lache’s facial expression.

“You know I dislike grits.”

“I know sweetie. I have some instant ones in the cabinet. Just microwave a cup of water and add two packages of the cheese grits.”

Lache just looks at Christine. She had a little pout on her cute face. He knows she loved grits.

“Alright, I’ll fix them for you.” He couldn’t resist her pouty lips.

“That’s why I love you.” Christine gives Lache a passionate kiss.

Lache returns the kiss. He kisses her for a while and after a few minutes, he separates from her.

“I better get started on breakfast.”

“Thanks, sweetie.” Christine gives him another kiss.

Lache heads towards the kitchen to start on breakfast. He wonders why Christine's boss wanted three new masks. He hasn’t heard anything about a new movie being filmed. He had one more stunt he had to perform later this week.

He starts fixing breakfast. He knew Christine liked sausage links with her eggs. He cooks breakfast and fixes a bowl of grits for Christine. Once everything was ready, he heads back to Christine’s workroom and notices she was making the second mask.

“Breakfast is ready.”

Christine puts the latex she was messing with down. She turns around to look at Lache “I can use some food.”

Christine’s stomach has been making growling sounds while she was working. She cleans her hand and head towards the dining area and sits down at the table she bought at an auction. She waits till Lache sits down across from her before she starts eating. When she takes a bite of the scrambled eggs, a low moan escapes from her lips.

A smile appears on Lache’s face. He knows how much Christine enjoys his cooking. Her cooking wasn’t too bad, either.

“God, I love how you cook your eggs.” She has tried several times to recreate his eggs.

“It sounded like it. So, what is your second mask going to look like?” Lache was curious.

“You know, I was thinking something along with a lizard person or dinosaur person. Something, reptilian.”

“Hasn’t that avenue been done before?”

“Yes and no. I have a really neat idea in mind, and I think it will be unique.” Christine takes another bite of the eggs and mixes them with the grits.

“Is there anything I can do to help?” Lache didn’t mind helping Christine.

“There is. I might need to see how these masks fit you.”

“Okay.” Lache figures Christine wanted to create the rest of the creature.

Christine cleans the dirty dishes up. She has a rule that Nora and her birth mother made. If one person cooked, the other person cleaned. If she had children, if one helped to set the table, the other one helped clean.

Lache helps Christine with the dishes. He had the habit of cleaning, while he cooked.

“Thanks, sweetie.” Christine kisses him.

Lache returns the kiss.

Catlin looks down at Krisha’s lovely face as she straddled her waist. Both were naked and laying in Krisha’s bed. She looks down into Krisha’s eyes “would you ever consider becoming my wife one day?”

Krisha looks up into Catlin’s eyes “what brings this on?”

“I’ve been thinking about it recently. I know you plan on becoming a professional dancer and join a ballet troupe and I’m becoming one of your mother’s agents. I just don’t want to lose you. I fell in love with you the first day I met you.” Catlin was watching Krisha’s face. She had fallen in love with her, since the first day they met.

Krisha looks up into Catlin’s eyes and could see the love in them that she felt about her. She already knew she was never going to marry a male. Not after what had been done to her and what she was forced to do.

She reaches up and squeezes Catlin’s breasts. She loved how they felt and looked.

“How about after my mother gets back from whatever task, she is taking care of. We talk to her about getting married before either one of us gets too serious with our careers?” Krisha figured her mother might let them get married at an early age.

“You do know I’m going to molest you for the rest of your life if we do get married.” An evil smile appears on Catlin’s face.

“You keep pleasing my feet the way you do, and you can do whatever you want to me.” Krisha knew Catlin had a foot fetish.

Krisha knew Catlin loved sucking on her feet and sucking on her toes. She didn’t mind, because Catlin always massages her feet and made them feel special. She continues to play with Catlin’s breasts. She loved sucking on her nipples and playing with them.

The next few hours, Catlin and Krisha explore, suck, and mark each other’s bodies. Catlin bites Krisha’s skin in certain areas, leaving teeth marks. Catlin knew Krisha didn’t mind her, biting her and leaving her teeth marks on her body.

Dance Studio:
Omphile was in the dance studio practicing the dance steps her adopted mother wanted her to practice. She wasn’t like her sister Krisha, but she did enjoy dancing. She does the full routine and repeats the dance steps she messed up. After a while, she stops and sits down on the mats in the dance studio.

She massages her feet because she wasn’t used to dancing. Where she uses to live, all they cared about was pimping her body out to men. No one cared how she felt before and never had anyone that loved her as Mrs. Patel did.

She sits on the mats for a while and wonders what she was going to do next. She knew her adopted mother was gone and Krisha was in charge. She stands up and straightens up the practice room and heads back to her room to get dress.

Christine’s Apartment:
Christine was excited as she heads home. Her boss loved the masks she made, so he was sending her and her boyfriend to Hollywood, California. They needed a talented make-up artist and since her boyfriend was a licensed stuntman. He could accompany her on the trip.

She parks her car in its assigned parking spot and heads up to her apartment. She sent her boyfriend a text message letting him know about the assignment. He was going to come by and pick her up.

She grabs her suitcases and starts packing. She couldn’t wait to go to Hollywood. She wishes she could tell Cheshire, but she had already left for Washington D.C. Once her clothes are packed. She starts packing up her special effects gear.

According to her boss, she was going to be onsite and be there for at least three months. She arranges for Tizzy to come by and check on her place. She double checks everything to make sure she has everything packed. She does pack a carry-on bag, just in case her luggage gets lost or delayed.

She walks into the kitchen and put some chicken nuggets in the toaster oven. While they were cooking, Christine pours herself a glass of iced tea. Hopefully, the job won’t be longer than three months.

After an hour or two, Lache arrives and helps her load suitcases and gear. The two of them head towards the airport.

Hollywood, California:
Christine stretches as she opens her eyes and looks at the beautiful sky through the sliding glass doors. She and her boyfriend arrived at the airport and were met by one of Cheshire’s agents. They were taken to one of Jack’s and Cheshire’s safe houses in Hollywood itself.

She could feel Lache’s strong chest pressed against her back. They were to tire after their flight, to do anything last night. She gets out of bed, without waking Lache and walks down to the second floor, where the kitchen was.

The townhouse she was staying at had three floors. The top floors had all the bedrooms and bathrooms. The second floor had the living room, dining room, bathroom. The bottom floor had the den, laundry room, and another bathroom.

She walks into the kitchen and notices it had already been prepped for her stay. She wonders how Cheshire knew she was coming to Hollywood to help out on the set of the movie. Christine takes one of the K-pods and places it into the coffee maker to brew it.

While she is standing and waiting for the coffee to brew, she receives several texts from Ginger and the rest of the family. A smile forms on her face, when she sees how goofy her younger sisters were acting. She misses Nora, Kelly, and the rest of them. Nora has been the mother she wishes she had from the beginning. Her parents never understood how she truly felt.

She notices there were several emails from some of her friends from school. They wanted to know how she was doing and what new projects she was working on. Christine responds to their emails.

Her friends from school were the ones that help her filmed her final project. The one where she was dressed as the Baroness from G.I.Joe. She still had the costume hanging among her clothes. She does notice that there is an email from her cousin Wolf. She opens the email and starts reading it. There is going to be a family reunion in three months, and he wanted to know if she would be attending.

Christine will have to think about that. She would love to show-up with Lache by her side. She would love to show, all of her family the woman she has become. She glances over towards the coffee maker and notices it has finish brewing.

Christine was given instructions by her boss on who to report too on the set. He also gave her a contact she should contact her boyfriend. She stands in the kitchen drinking her coffee and prepare herself for the day ahead.

Cheshire’s Place, Tizzy’s Bedroom:
Tizzy stares into her husband’s sleeping face. She moves carefully, as she gets out of bed. Last night, Lien had slept in her bed. That meant Tizzy and her husband could do some serious loving making. Ikaika had caused her to reach new heights that she never experienced before. As for what she did to him, well he will be walking funny for a while.

She heads towards the bathroom to take care of her morning business. While she is sitting on the toilet, Lien comes stumbling into the bathroom. She looks up and notices her mother is sitting on the toilet.

“Sorry, mommy.” Lien turns around to leave the bathroom.

“It’s okay, sweetie. I’m done.” Tizzy wipes herself and stands up off the toilet.

She flushes the toilet as she walks over to wash her hands. She watches in the mirror as Lien rushes to the toilet and drop her panties. No sooner does her small butt hit the toilet seat, she starts peeing.

Tizzy just smiles as she exits from the bathroom ‘remember to wash your hands, Lien.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Tizzy heads towards the kitchen to fix breakfast for her daughter. If the rest of the house wants breakfast, she’ll fix it for them. She grabs a can of spam and opens it up. She grabs some potatoes, onions, peppers to make a large pan of hash.

While she is chopping the ingredients up, she spots her daughter walking into the kitchen.

“Good morning, little monkey.”

“Morning, Mommy.” Lien looks at her mother as she sits down on her favorite barstool.

Tizzy stops chopping the spam and grabs the eggs and juice out of the refrigerator. She grabs a juice glass out of the cabinet and pours some juice in it.

“Drink up, sweetie.” Tizzy places the glass in front of Lien.

“Thanks, mom.” Lien takes a sip of her juice.

“You’re welcome, sweetie.” Tizzy goes back to chopping and finally cooking.

Catlin, Krisha, and Omphile come walking into the kitchen. Omphile was still dressed in her dance leotard. Catlin and Krisha were wearing
matching shorts and loose tank tops. Neither one of them were wearing bras. Catlin and Krisha had hickey’s the side of their necks and a few on each other’s arms.

Tizzy looks at her sister and Catlin “you know mom, would give you a lecture about those hickeys.”

“They will be gone by the time mom, comes back.” Walks around to see what Tizzy was making for Lien.

“Are you cooking for everyone?” Krisha looks at Tizzy.

“Yes, but first your leopards and the big boys need to be feed.” Tizzy normally feeds Shur Khan and Simba after breakfast.

“I’ll help you, Krisha.” Omphile has started to trust the two big cats.

Simba was friendless of the two. The only part she didn’t like about caring for them, was cleaning up after them when they left their poop near the house.

“I’ll feed the snow leopards.” Catlin saw Kit and Kat where in the kitchen.

“Come on guys, breakfast time.” Catlin snaps her fingers and both leopards follow her to where their food bowls were.

Catlin grabs the specially formulated food Cheshire made for them. She wonders sometimes, how an illustrious assassin like her adopted
mother. How she could know so much about big game cats and unique cats like Kit and Kat.

Once they are feed, she washes her hands and heads back into the kitchen, where she spots Lien eating. A place has been set for her, Omphile, and Krisha. She sits down at her place.

“Here you go.” Tizzy places an omelet on a plate, along with some sausage links she cooked.

“Thanks, Tizzy.”

“Any time, Catlin.”

Catlin watches as Omphile and Krisha come walking into the kitchen. She saw Krisha dusting herself off.

“What happened?” Catlin was curious.

“Simba wanted to play.” Krisha keeps dusting herself off.

A smirk appears on Tizzy’s face, she needs to spend some time with her kitty cat. She makes two more omelets for Omphile and Krisha. By the time they were sitting down and eating. Ikaika comes walking into the kitchen.

Ikaika waves to everyone, as he walks over to the coffee maker. He notices that Tizzy made a pot, instead of one cup. He pours himself a cup while looking at all the women he was surrounded by.

“You know, most men would love to wake-up and be surrounded by all of you.” Ikaika had a mischievous smile on his face.

“Most men would be scared to be around us.” Catlin knew what each woman was capable of.

“Maybe.” Ikaika walks over and places a kiss on Tizzy’s cheek and one on Lien’s cheek as well.

“Sis, when will mom be back?” Omphile looks at Tizzy.

“She said a week, but I think it might be longer. I think she and Uncle Jack have something planned.”

“Who’s uncle Jack?” Omphile hasn’t met him yet.

Krisha looks at Omphile “He’s like mom, but a whole lot scarier and raises wolves.”

“What type of wolves does he raised?” Lien was curious.

“These types.” Tizzy shows her daughter pictures of Cadmus and Sphinx.

Lien looks at how big the two wolves were standing next to Simba and Shur Khan. She couldn’t believe how big they were.

“They are big.” Lien hands her mom back her cellphone.

“You don’t know the half of it, Lien. Those wolves are extremely dangerous.” Krisha still remembers the day she was saved by Tizzy and their
cousins.

“Come, finish your breakfast. We’ll talk later about Uncle Jack and mom.” Tizzy figures her mom and uncle Jack had people they needed to deliver a message to.

Outside gun range:
“Alright Catlin, let’s see what mom taught you.” Tizzy stands behind Catlin with Lien near her at the outside gun range her mom uses.

Catlin opens the gun cases Cheshire gave her. Inside were Springfield Armory XDM .45ACP with three spare magazines. Each gun was equipped with threaded barrels, so she could attach the silencers that were in the case with them.

Catlin picks one gun up and checks it. Cheshire taught her to always check the handguns, before using them. She picks up one of the loaded magazines and slides it into the handgun. The target she already sent downrange was at twenty yards.

She assumes her shooting stance and starts firing downrange. She empties the first magazine and drops it and puts the second one in and empties that one. She drops that one and puts the third one in.

Once she was done with the third magazine, she brings the target back to her. A smile forms on her face as she steps aside to let Tizzy examine the target. Cheshire taught her extremely well.

Lien looks at the target and was amazed by the hole in the middle of the target. She knew her mother was good, but Catlin looked to be as good as her mother.

“Nice grouping.” Tizzy looks at the target and was amazed at Catlin’s shooting.

“Let’s see how you do at a longer range.” Tizzy sends a new target downrange.

Lien pulls out a handful of bullets and starts reloading the magazines for Catlin. Her grandmother showed her how to reload the magazines one day while her mother was at work. She finishes the last magazine and looks at her mother with a smile on her face.

Tizzy noticed her daughter reloading the magazines. She watches as Lien finished reloading all three magazines.

“Who taught you to do that?” Tizzy was curious.

“Grandma did, mommy.” Lien had helped her grandmother reload several guns.

Tizzy couldn’t believe her mother would teach Lien how to use a gun. She was going to wait at least a year or two before she started showing Lien how to use a gun. She’ll have to talk to her mother about Lien learning to use any guns.

Catlin picks the other gun up and empties all three magazines at the target. She places the handgun down on the barrier and brings the target back to them. She knew what the target was going to look like. Because when Cheshire was training her. Cheshire made sure she could kill whatever she was shooting at.

Lien was watching Catlin shoot when she noticed her mother’s cellphone in her back-pocket flash. She reaches for her mother’s cellphone to see who it was and notices it was a text from her grandmother.

She types: Hi, Grandma!

Brooklyn, New York:
Cheshire had just sent a text to her daughter, after sending one to Liz.

A few seconds later, she receives a text from Tizzy’s cellphone “Hi Grandma.”

A smile appears on Cheshire’s face because she knew the message was from Lien. She starts typing another message Where are you and your mother?

“At the gun range with Catlin.”

Hand the cellphone to your mother, sweetie.

Outdoor gun range, Hawaii:
Lien tugs on Tizzy’s waistband “mom, grandma wants to talk with you.”

Tizzy turns around to face her daughter. She notices that Lien had her cellphone. She had felt it vibrate in her back pocket.

“Thanks, sweetie.” Tizzy looks at the text her mother sent and then her daughter’s reply.

Mom, how soon do you need me to leave?

Brooklyn, New York:
“Right away, sweetie. You’re going to be flying with Liz. Bring your sniping rifle and your guns with you. Liz will have hers.”

“Alright, mom.” If her mother wanted her to bring her toys, something big was going on.

“Give Lien a hug for me.” Cheshire loved being a grandmother.

“I will, mom.”

Tizzy looks at Catlin and the target she just shot. She couldn’t believe that the center was gone.

“Are you sure, you have never shot a gun before?” Tizzy knew no one could be as good as Catlin right now, even with her mother’s training.

“I’m sure. It feels so natural for me to be handling a gun.” Catlin couldn’t express how the gun felt like it has always been part of her.

“Well, let’s pack things up and head home.” Tizzy wonders what her mother has gotten herself into.

Once all the guns and ammo are secured and loaded into Tizzy police-issued car. She heads home to pack and get her gear. She’ll have to explain things to her husband and Lien.

“Can’t I come with you mom?” Lien looks at Tizzy as she packs a gym bag.

Tizzy looks at Lien and sits down next to her. She picks Lien up and sets her on her lap.

“Sweetie, I can’t take you with me. Your grandmother needs me to help her with a problem. However, I promise that when I am done with whatever your grandmother needs me for. You, me, and your father will take a trip to Disney Land and Paramount studios. How does that sound to you?”

Lien looks at her mother and didn’t want her to go. She didn’t want to lose another mother.

“I don’t want to lose, you.” Lien hugs Tizzy.

“You will never lose me, Lien.” Tizzy holds her daughter close to her body.

“Not if I have anything to do with it.” Ikaika was wondering what was taking Tizzy so long.

Lien looks towards her father. She knew her new father was protective of her and her mother. Her other grandmother was a loving woman as well.

Lien still didn’t want Tizzy to leave, but she knew Tizzy would never break her word. She hugs her mother.

“How long do you think you’ll be gone, Tizzy?”

“Only a week, hopefully. When whatever matter, I’m helping mom with is over. I’ll text you and we will spend time as a family.” Tizzy places a kiss on Lien’s forehead.

“Just be careful, Tiz.” Ikaika worries about Tizzy when she does special jobs for her mother. He doesn’t want to see her in a hospital again.

“I will. Now, lets head to the airfield, so I can meet up with Liz.” Tizzy lets Lien get down from her lap.

Lien helps her mother with her bags and heads towards Ikaika’s Suv. Once all the bags are loaded into the Suv. Lien gets in and sits on the backseat.

Ikaika drives towards the private airfield. As they approached, Tizzy notices Liz waiting for her. She leans over and places a kiss on Ikaika’s cheek “I’ll see you by the end of the week.”

Tizzy turns around in her seat and looks at Lien “I promise I’ll be back to you. I do ask one favor, help keep your aunts in line.”

“I promise, mommy.” Lien smiles at her mother.

Tizzy gets out of the Suv and grabs her bags from the cargo area. She takes one last look at her husband and her daughter. She hates leaving them, but her mother needed her. She shuts the tailgate and walks up to Liz.

Liz was almost the spitting image of her mother. The difference was the body build and age. Liz was younger then her mother and also more physically fit, then her mother.

“Did mom tell you what is going on, Liz?” Tizzy stands next to Liz.

“Nope, all she said was to grab my rifle and come to Colorado.” Liz had a feeling that it must be important, to pull her out of retirement.

“I wonder what mom has planned?”

“We’ll find out, once we are in Colorado.”

A dark blue Lear jet touches down on the runway and taxi’s over to them. When it comes to a complete stop, the side door opens. A young woman comes walking out of the Lear Jet.

Patricia looks at the two women “you two must be my passengers.”

“If Jack Bounty sent you, then yes.”

“We are.”

“Well, let's get you on board and back into the sky.”

After a few minutes, Patricia has Liz and Tizzy gear stow away and she is up in the air.

Christine moans as her head feel like it weighed a hundred pounds. Her vision was blurry, and she felt sick to her stomach. She looks around and spots her husband next to her, but they weren’t in their bedroom or on their bed. She notices that both of them were naked as well.

Knock, knock, knock as the door of the room they were in open slowly. A humanoid feline looking girl with short silver hair and dress in a French maid outfit enters. She looked to be no taller than five feet tall and had a nice curvy body.

“Oh good, you’re awake. How do you feel?” Asia had been sent by her mistress to check on their guest.

“My head feels extremely heavy and I feel sick to my stomach. What did you do to us and who or what are you?” Christine wonders if the girl was a furry or something.

“I’ll get you something to counter the drugs used on you last night. My name is Asia and I have been assigned to look after you. Everything else will be explained by my mistress when you are feeling better.”

“So, were prisoners, then?” Christine looks at the young cat-like girl.

“Oh, no. You’re not prisoners, you can go any time you want to. However, my mistress would like to talk with you and your mate.” Asia knew her mistress wanted to talk with this woman and her mate.

The HSL tried to kidnap them last night and they had to rescue them. Her mistress wants to know why the HSL would be interested in such an ordinary person. There wasn’t any supernatural energies or nature about these two.

“Let me go and get you something for your head and stomach. There are clothes in the closet and dresser that should fit you and your mate.” Asia turns and leaves the room.

Christine tries moving and the room starts spinning and her stomach makes her want to puke. She could barely remember anything from last night. She and Lache went out to dinner last night. They decided to try out a place one of her co-workers recommended.

The food had been good, and the place had given them a free bottle of wine. Normally, Christine wouldn’t have drunk any, but she figured one glass wouldn’t hurt her. The wine was so good, she had a second and then a third glass. After the third glass was when she started to feel extremely tired, that she called a cab to pick them up.

She remembered getting into the cab and giving the driver the address. After that, she passed out and fell against Lache. Just before her eyes closed, she heard something from the driver, but she couldn’t recall what he said.

After ten minutes, Asia returns with a tray in her hand. She did knock before entering. She walks over to the bed and set the tray upon a portable stand as they used in restaurants.

“I thought you might be a little hungry after you get rid of your headache and settle your stomach.” A smile appears on Asia’s face.

She was also examining Christine’s body as well. She wouldn’t mind pleasing her and seeing how her mate was as well.

“Thank you.” Christine reaches for the crystal-clear glass sitting on the tray. It had some sort of purple fluid in it.

She looks towards Asia as she stood and watched her. She wonders what was inside the glass. She tastes it, and it tasted like it had grape in it. She takes another sip of the juice and another. She could feel it sliding down her throat and into her stomach.

Asia watches their guest. She loved undressing them last night and wanted to explore their bodies more, but her mistress told her she couldn’t. The tattoos on the man’s body were interesting and she wanted to learn about them.

“Is there anything you would like for me to help you with?” Asia had mischief in her eyes.

Christine noticed how Asia was looking at her. She didn’t mind her looking at her, she wasn’t really into other women.

“I’m fine, Asia. Does this room have a bathroom?” Christine felt her stomach-settling and her head-clearing.

“Yes, ma’am. If you like, I can start a bath for you.”

“That would be fine, Asia. I could use a bath.”

“Okay.” Asia turns and heads towards a hidden door and opens it.

As she was walking towards the bathroom, she puts a little wiggle in her walk. She walks inside the hidden bathroom and goes about getting a bath going for Christine. She wonders what she needs to do to get the human woman interested in her.

Christine couldn’t believe that the little feline woman was trying to seduce her. She shakes Lache’s shoulder gently to wake him up. She hopes he is okay.

Lache didn’t feel too good when he woke-up. His stomach and felt just like Christine did. He felt her hand on his bare shoulder. He turns to look at her because he could feel her sitting next to her.

“Where are we?” Lache was feeling sick and confused.

“I don’t know, but if you’re like I was. You might want to drink this.” Christine hands the second glass to him.

“What is it?” As Lache accepts it.

“I don’t know, but it will make you feel better.”

Lache takes the glass and slowly drink the juice. He wasn’t a big fan of grape juice, but there was more to it. As he drinks the juice, he spots the humanoid feline girl come walking out of the bathroom. He looks towards Christine with a confused look on his face.

Christine just smiles at him “she’s real. Her name is Asia.”

Asia heard Christine as she spoke to her mate “Ah! You’re awake, good. You and your mate can take a bath together.”

Lache still couldn’t get over that a humanoid cat person was talking to him. He did notice he felt better after drinking the juice in the glass.

“Thank you, Asia. I think we’ll take it from here.”

“Okay. Here’s a bell you can use to summon me. Just ring it and I’ll come.” Asia pulls out a bell and gives it to Christine.

Christine accepts the bell “thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Asia picks the tray up and the stand and leaves the room.

“Come on, let's go and take a bath. I want to meet with her mistress and find out why we are here.” Christine gets up off the bed.

Lache gets up as well and stands next to her. He looks at Christine and agreed with her. He wants to know what happened as well.

The two of them walk into the bathroom and get into the tub, which was already filled for them.

Christine couldn’t believe how nice the mansion they were in looked. There were pictures of famous actors, actresses, and movies of long ago decorating the hallway as they walked down the hallway from the bedroom they had awoken in. She also couldn’t believe the clothes they found in the dressers and closet to wear.

She found some expensive dresses design by famous fashion designers hanging in the closet. Even the undergarments were of top quality. They were made of silk and very fine linen. As for her boyfriend, Lache. He was wearing a button-down shirt that looked like it was custom made just for him. Even the slacks they found fit him nicely.

Asia had chosen a nice pair of shoes for the two of them. Christine noticed right away that they were designer shoes. She wonders who Asia’s mistress was because whoever she is has a lot of money and enjoyed the finer things in life.

Asia liked how Christine and her mate were dressed. The clothes they had on, showed off their body nicely. She leads the two of them to the outside pavilion, where her mistress was waiting for them.

Christine and Lache notice they were heading outside to a well, manicured lawn, and garden. Asia takes them to a pavilion that looked like it was off an Arabic set. Inside the pavilion, was a lightly tanned woman with light brown hair. She had on a nice gaze type dress and some jewelry.

Standing near her were two well-built gentlemen. Both guys were so muscular, they put Arnold Schwarzenegger to shame, even when he was in his prime. Asia stops near the woman “Christine Midnight, Lache Fapuleai I would like for you to meet my Mistress, Lady Amy Cartwright.”
Christine noticed now that they were closer. The woman had a nice figure and looked to be in her late thirties, maybe early forties.

“It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Cartwright. Asia said that we have you to thank for saving us last night.” Christine knew Lache was watching the two muscle walls standing nearby.

“Please, have a seat.” As Mrs. Cartwright waves her hand towards some seats.

Christine sits down on the left-hand side of Mrs. Cartwright. Lache sits down on the right-hand side, across from Christine.

“It was nothing, Mrs. Midnight. However, I do have a question for you and your mate. Why is the HSL so interested in you?” Amy didn’t see anything special about Christine or her boyfriend Lache.

The background report she received on them held nothing special. Except, the time Christine dressed as the Baroness from Cobra, went into a burning warehouse, and rescued several people and wolves. Everything else about her was normal. She used to be male, but just recently had SRS surgery. She was adopted by a former DSS agent, who is currently working as a high school teacher.

The report also showed that she was living at a resident that use to be owned by a Cheshire Patel. According to the information she had about Mrs. Patel. She was once married to the Senator of Hawaii and she was a well-known author about big game cats. When she tried to get more information about Mrs. Patel, her source couldn’t access the information.

“Well first off, I have no idea who or what the HSL is or why they would be interested in me. Secondly, I’m just a simple special effects artist, currently working on a movie.” Christine looks at Lache “Have you ever heard of the HSL?”

“I can’t say I ever have. Who are they and why are we of any concern to them?” Lache looks at Mrs. Cartwright.

“I don’t know why you two would be of any concern to them. As for who they are, HSL stands for Human Supremacy League.”

“And that stands for?” Christine has never heard of them.

“They are a group of religious fanatics that go around killing the supernatural. They also are the sister organization of the Hunter Organization
who are sponsored by a secret group of religious leaders inside the Vatican.” Amy knew a few of the leaders from her days of living in Rome.

“You got to be kidding me. The supernatural doesn’t exist. That’s all Hollywood magic and such.” Christine believed in ghosts and such, but other than that. She didn’t believe in the other stories.

A smirk appears on Mrs. Cartwright’s face and Asia snorts from the comment. If Christine only knew the truth.

“Well, for now. I think you and your mate should remain here with me until we learned why the HSL came after you two.” Mrs. Cartwright felt they would be safer with her.

“So, are you saying were your prisoners?” This didn’t feel right to Christine.

“No, my dear. You can leave any time you want to. However, it might be best if you and your mate didn’t go. Something about this whole mess doesn’t smell right to me. Other than what I have learned about you two, there’s no reason the HSL should be trying to kidnap you. I do have a question for you. How close are you to Cheshire Patel?”

“Why?” Christine was wondering why they wanted to know about Cheshire.

“According to our records, Mrs. Patel is currently in discussion with our cousins in Montana.” Amy just received a text message from The Montana leader.

“Mrs. Patel considers me part of her extended family. If this is all about her. Then this HSL group has made a big mistake. They will have to deal with her wrath and her partner's wrath as well.” Christine knew Cheshire would ask Mr. Bounty for help.

“What do you mean the HSL has made a big mistake?” Amy was curious about that statement.

“Because Mrs. Patel and her partner are the type of people you don’t want to make your enemies.” Christine didn’t want to say anymore.

“Well, until I know more about what is going on, you’ll be safe here. Consider my home, your home.”

“Thank you,” Lache answered for him and Christine.

“I’ll show them around, Mistress.” Asia steps forward towards the table.

“Thank you, Asia.”

“We get the message.” Christine stands up, along with Lache.

“If you’ll follow me, please.” Asia turns and starts giving Christine and Lache a tour of the place.

Once they have left, Amy pulls her cellphone out and dials Cain Eriksson's number.

Helen Montana:
Cain was looking over the reports he received earlier in the day. So, far everything was going alright in his territory and with the mission, he sent his niece on. He hopes that some type of deal can be arranged between him, Mrs. Patel, and Mr. Bounty himself.

As he looks over another report, his cellphone rings. He looks at the number and notices it belonged to Lady Cartwright, as he presses the accept button.

“Lady Cartwright, how can I help you?”

“I have some news for you, and you might not like it.”

“What is the bad news, Amy?” Cain wonders what is happening in Hollywood to make Lady Cartwright call him.

“The HSL just tried to kidnap a young woman and her mate. The young woman seems to have some connection to Mrs. Cheshire Patel. You don’t think they were going to blackmail her in turning away an alliance with us, do you?”

“It's possible. Was there anything special about the young woman?” Cain wonders why the HSL would go after the girl.

“Not really, I mean she does possess a lot of courage for someone her age, but otherwise, there’s nothing unusual about her.” Amy didn’t pick up on anything unusual about her.

“Where is she now?” Cain was concerned.

“She’s a guest here at my mansion. We had to rescue her and her mate last night.”

“Good, I’ll let Mrs. Patel know.”

“Alright. Call me if anything changes.”

“I will.” Lady Cartwright ends the call.

“It’s not your time, yet Cheshire. Go back to your family and look after them.” A glowing Cat woman stood before Cheshire.

Cheshire looks at the glowing cat woman standing before her in silk robes. She had been moving towards the light and then all of sudden she stopped before the golden cat woman. She had appeared out of nowhere.

Cheshire could feel the power coming off her and the warmth as well. She had heard stories about Cat deities when she traveled to Africa, Thailand, and Egypt.

“Who are you?”

“Let’s just say, someone who has taken an interest in you and your family. Now go back to your body and your children.” The Cat goddess waves her hand towards Cheshire.

Cheshire feels herself thrown backward, as she falls back to Earth towards her body. As her soul hits her body, she gasps for air and sits up. Her eyes spring open looking directly at Tizzy.

“MOM!” Tizzy throws her arms around Cheshire.

Lady April and Lady Joyce jumped back as Cheshire sits up off the operating table she was laying on. Both had felt the touch of a powerful entity as it touched Cheshire. Their healing ability had done all it could to keep Cheshire from dying, but they had lost her. They were about to call Leto’s name to bring Cheshire back when suddenly she sits up.

It takes Cheshire a few minutes to realize where she was. She feels Tizzy hugging her tightly. She puts her arms around her baby and holds her tightly. She knew how important Tizzy and the rest of her girls were to her. She also felt a little different, than before. It was like she had extra energy and all the pains she uses to feel and experience were gone. She felt like she did when she was in her twenties.

“I’m alright, baby.” She strokes Tizzy’s short hair as she held her oldest against her body.

Tizzy had her face buried against her mother’s chest. She leans back and looks at her mother. She notices, she looked different. She looked younger than she did before “mom, what happened to you?”

“What do you mean, sweetie?” Cheshire was curious.

“I mean, you look like you did when you first found me.” Tizzy couldn’t believe how young her mother looked.

Cheshire looks over towards Lady Joyce and Lady April “is this true?”

“Yes, Mrs. Patel, but it's nothing we did. All we did was close your wound and heal the damage done to you. Only someone with a power greater than ours could do what was done to you.” Lady April notices that Cheshire’s eyes were more cat-like than they were before.

Cheshire looks at Lady April and could tell she was telling the truth. She could still remember the woman that had stopped her from moving onwards.

“Then it wasn’t a dream.” Cheshire was puzzled.

“What did you see, Mrs. Patel?” Lady Joyce was curious.

“I saw a woman with the head of a Lioness standing in my way, saying it wasn’t my time yet and that my family needed me.” Cheshire could still feel the warmth and power she gave off.

“What was her style of dress?” Lady Joyce was curious now.

“Egyptian,” Cheshire recalled the image she saw.

“Okay, that would have been the goddess Sekhmet.” Lady Joyce was impressed that Sekhmet had intervened on Cheshire’s behalf.

“Why would an old Egyptian goddess take an interest in my mother and our family?” Tizzy was still getting used to the strangeness.

“I couldn’t tell you, Mrs. Patel, but it seems your mother and family are now under their watchful eyes.” Lady Joyce and Lady April try to understand why the Patel family is so special.

“Well, I would like to know.” Tizzy looks at her mother couldn’t believe how young she looked.

Her sisters, husband, and daughter are going to be amazed at how her mother changed. Explaining it to them will be another story. She wonders what her uncle Jack would think about his old partner and what is going on with the family now. Not to mention explaining everything to her mother’s extended family.

“How do you feel, Mrs. Patel?” Lady April was curious.

“Please, call me Cheshire. As for how I feel, I feel amazing. I haven’t felt like this in years.”

“Well, we do have some news for you. While you were having your meeting with the Hunter organization. Their sister organization went after a relative of yours.”

“Who did they go after? And what sister organization?” Tizzy and Cheshire were curious.

“A person by the name of Christine Midnight and her mate. As for the sister organization, it's known as the HSL or Human Supremacy League.
They work in conjunction with the Hunter organization.”

“There’s another organization that goes after the supernatural. Also, is Christine and her boyfriend safe?” Tizzy was concerned about Christine.

“She’s safe. One of our members lives in Hollywood and she and her mate are staying with her.” Cain had come walking into the medical center to check on Cheshire.

“Why go after Christine and her boyfriend? That doesn’t make any sense.” Tizzy was puzzled.

“Yes, it does, sweetie. They could use Christine as leverage against me.” Cheshire has done similar things in the past.

“Yeah, but that’s kind of stupid because Nora would get involved. You know what Nora would do.”

“The same thing I would do. Nora considers Christine to be her daughter.” Tizzy knew what Nora would do.

“Who is this Nora Midnight person?” Cain was curious.

“She’s another one of my agents and a former DSS officer. She’s retired from the DSS and teaches high school students now.”

“She’s a high school teacher and she’s one of your agents? That’s two different types of skill set.” Cain wonders how someone who is a former DSS agent becomes a high school teacher.

“Not really, if you think about it.” A smile appears on Tizzy’s face.

Cain looked confused at Tizzy’s comment. He looks towards Cheshire and couldn’t believe how young she looked now.

“This is going to take some getting use to.”

“I agree.” Tizzy couldn’t believe how her mother looked.

Ikaika looks at Lien “Lien, go and tell your aunts to pack a bag. Your mom just texts me and she wants all of us to go to the airport and come to the States.”

“Mom, text us?” Lien looks at her father.

“Yep, she texts us and said she loves you. She wants everyone to pack a suitcase and head to the airfield.” Ikaika knew Lien missed her mother.

Tizzy always made it a policy to say good night to her. She also promises to keep in touch with Lien.

“Who’s going to take care of Simba and Shur-Khan while we are gone?” Lien was curious about that.

“Your grandmother has people she trusts to tend to them. Trust me, they will be taken good care of while we are gone.” Ikaika has met them and even spoken to them for a research paper he did for his degree.

“Oh?”

“Go get your aunts and afterward we’ll get a bag ready for you.”

“Yes, daddy.” Lien heads towards the dance studio first.

Dance Studio:
Catlin looks down at Krisha as she straddled her waist. They had gotten up early to practice their hand-to-hand combat skills. Catlin knew Cheshire would make her spend four days in the woods without anything if she didn’t practice.

“You didn’t have to toss me so hard.” Krisha looks into Catlin’s eyes.

“Your mother said, we shouldn’t hold back when we are practicing.” Catlin stands up off Krisha and extends her hand to help her up.

Krisha grabs Catlin’s hand and pulls herself up off the mat. She looks at Catlin “you’re going down.”

“You said that last time and you ended up on the mat.” Catlin jumps back because she knew how Krisha operated.

Krisha attacks Catlin and is pushed away from her. She tries to regain her balance as she pivots to strike Catlin. She feels her arms caught by Catlin and thrown to the mat again.

Catlin watched Krisha’s moves as she attacked her. She could predict what Krisha would do. When Krisha went to strike her, after pivoting around. She used Krisha’s momentum to throw her to the mat.

Catlin looks down at her girlfriend “I told you, your moves are predictable.”

“You need to change up, how you respond. Now, get up, and let’s try that move again.” Catlin helps Krisha off the mat again.

Just as Krisha stands up off the mat. Lien comes walking into the studio “Aunt Catlin, Aunt Krisha, daddy said to go and pack a bag. Mom sent
a text saying were going to the mainland.”

Catlin and Krisha stop what they were doing. The two of them watch Lien as she comes walking into the studio.

“Is everything okay?” Krisha wonders why they were going to the mainland.

“Don’t know, daddy didn’t say. He just said that everyone needs to pack a bag. Where’s Aunt Omphile?”

“She’s out in the garden, trimming the flowers.” Krisha knew Omphile liked the flowers and vegetables she planted recently.

“Thanks, Aunt Krisha.”

“You’re welcome, sweetie.” Krisha liked Lien.

Lien heads out the back door of the house and walks along the pathway to Omphile Garden. She spots her Aunt Omphile kneeling and snipping some of the plants she planted. Lien walks up behind her aunt and hugs her.

Omphile knew Lien had come out to the garden. She smiles as she feels Lien hug her from behind “what are you up to, little monkey?”

“Dad sent me to tell everyone to pack a bag. We’re heading to the mainland.”

“Is that where mom and Tizzy are?” Omphile wonders why they were heading there.

“Don’t know. Mom texted dad and it didn’t explain anything.”

“Alright, let's go and get ready to leave.” Omphile stands up.

“Okay.” Lien follows Omphile into the house.

Eight Hours Later, Private Airstrip, Jack Bounty’s Ranch:
Tizzy, Debbie, Cheshire, Cain, Lady Joyce, and several of the wolves were waiting inside the hangar. They were watching as the private Lear Jet that belonged to Jack started to approach the landing strip. Debbie couldn’t get over how young Cheshire looked. She has known Cheshire for a long time and knew how old she was and what she looked like.

As for the two new people who had arrived with Cheshire and Tizzy at the ranch had been introduced to her. The wolves instantly didn’t like them at all. Which struck Debbie as weird, because they normally ignore people, unless they threaten the family.

Cain and Lady Joyce look at the three wolves that were in the hangar with them. An evil grin appears on Cain’s face. He knew the wolves could smell what type of cat he was. However, he was amazed at how big these wolves were. He has never seen any wolves that weren’t supernatural, being this as big as these wolves were.

“I wouldn’t test them, Cain. These wolves don’t fear anything.” Cheshire reaches over and scratches the top of Texas’s head.

“How can that be?” Lady Joyce looks at the wolves.

“Because their sire has that trait and it always passed onto his offsprings.” Debbie looks over towards Dallas and Sebastian. Among the three
of them, Texas was the biggest wolf.

Inside the Lear Jet:
Christine was watching as they begin to land. She looks over at Ikaika “who’s ranch is this?”

“One of the most dangerous persons around.” Krisha looks over towards Christine.

“And that would be?” Christine thought Cheshire was the most dangerous person around.

“Mr. Bounty. Cheshire’s partner and best friend.” Krisha remembered her last visit to the ranch.

“Okay, I’ve met Mr. Bounty before.” She couldn’t believe the layout of his place.

Everyone feels the Lear Jet touch down and slowly come to a stop. The door is opened, and everyone starts departing. Lien is the first one out and runs to her mother. Krisha, Catlin, and Omphile follow behind her. Christine and her boyfriend Lache exist from the Jet.

The Lear Jet had landed in California to refuel and to pick up Christine and her boyfriend. The last person to exit from the Lear Jet is Ikaika. He spots his wife, holding Lien in her arms. He also notices that Cheshire was standing near her, but she didn’t look the same anymore.

Lien hugs her mother and notices that there were three wolves and her grandmother standing nearby. There were also three people she didn’t recognize standing near them. She looks at her grandmother “Grandma, what happened to you?”

Cheshire looks at Lien “it’s a long story, sweetie.”

“So, these are your children and their mates?” Cain looks at everyone.

“Yes, this is my youngest daughter Omphile, my next oldest Krisha, and my student, Catlin. My granddaughter Lien. This is Christine and she
is part of my extended family. She is also Nora’s oldest daughter. The gentleman standing next to Tizzy is my son-in-law, Ikaika, and Christine’s boyfriend Lache.”

Krisha looks at her mother and wonders what happened to her. Even Catlin looks at her teacher and wonders what happened to her.

“Mom, what happened to you?”

“Why don’t we head inside the house and talk about this matter.” Debbie figures that everything should be explained inside the house.

Lien looks at the wolves and back at the woman who spoke “are those wolves?”

“Yes, sweetie. Those are wolves.” Tizzy answered for Debbie.

Debbie snaps her fingers and starts walking back towards the main house. The wolves start following her.

Selina looks at Debbie when she and her guest come walking into the house. They had come in through the back door instead of the front door.

“We got a problem, Debbie. Jack activated his emergency beacon.” Selina was standing in front of the big-screen television in the kitchen.
It was flashing red and showing a wolf head on the screen. There was a laser keyboard on the marble countertop and Selina was trying to zoom in on his location.

“Are you sure it's Jack’s beacon, Selina?” Debbie and Cheshire run over to stand next to her.

“It’s his beacon. It’s alerting any of his agents that are nearby.” Selina watches as the satellite she was linked into locates the closet's agent and alert them.

“Who’s Dark Angel?” Debbie looks towards Cheshire.

“I think she’s a former CIA agent that Jack rescued in Iran. She also has medical training and I believe she used to be a doctor. But I thought she was supposed to be in Rome right now.” Cheshire hasn’t seen Dark Angel in years.

“It looks like she is heading towards his location. Let me see if I can get a picture of where he is.” Selina tries zooming in with the satellite.

Lady Joyce, Lady April, and Cain were impressed with the setup and operation of Jack’s family. They didn’t have anything like this at all.

“Can you locate any of your agents like this?” Cain directs his question to Debbie.

“Only certain agents. We mostly use this system to keep track of our family members should they get into trouble.”

“Speaking of family, Gina and Julia are about to land.” Cheshire noticed the id of the Lear belonging to Jack lining up with the runway.

“I’ll go greet them.” Tizzy puts Lien down by her grandmother.

“Can I come with you?” Christine wanted to see Gina and Julia again. She rescued them from the burning warehouse.

“You better stay here, Christine. They have the wolves they took with them to Colorado and none of them know you yet, except Cadmus and Sphinx.” Cheshire looks at Christine.

“I guess that leaves me out as well.” Ikaika looks at his wife.

“Unfortunately, it does, sweetie.” Tizzy kisses her husband.

“I can come because they know me.” Krisha had a smile on her face.

“That means I can’t go. Catlin was disappointed.”

“Sorry, sweetie. Maybe later, Julia and Gina will introduce you to them.” Krisha places a kiss on Catlin’s cheek.

Cheshire raises an eyebrow at them. She knew Catlin liked Krisha, but she didn’t know how deep their affections went. She’ll have to talk with her daughter and pupil later.

Landing Strip:
When Tizzy and Krisha arrive at the landing strip. They noticed that Arnold and Christmas were already there. Neither one of them looked happy.

“What’s wrong?” Tizzy looks towards Arnold.

“Julia and Gina have been hurt.” Arnold looks towards Tizzy.

“How bad?” Tizzy was worried about her cousins.

“According to Gina, their wounds have been taken care of, but they won’t be able to do any heavy lifting for a while.”

Tizzy remembered that when she left, the two of them had been sliced by something. She turns around and watches as the Lear they were on lands and comes to a complete stop in front of them. She stays by her little sister, as Arnold walks over to open the door on the Lear.

Amy and her two companions enjoyed the flight, but they didn’t enjoy the glare the wolves gave them. Amy was surprised the plane could take off with all the wolves on board and with them as well. She was glad Haylee managed to keep all the wolves behaved.

The wolves are the first to jump out of the plane, followed by Haylee and Arabella. They help their mothers down the steps.

“I can’t let you go anywhere without you hurting yourself.” Arnold steps over to Gina and sweeps her up into his arms.

“That goes double for me, Julia.” Christmas looks at her wife.

“Sorry, sweetie.” Julia walks slowly over to her wife.

Christmas wraps her arm around Julia’s waist and helps her to the golf cart she took from their house to the airfield.

Gina and Julia spot Tizzy and her little sister. They were worried about Cheshire “how is your mother doing, cuz?”

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. Let’s just say, you’re not going to recognize her like she uses to be.” A smirk appears on Tizzy’s face.

“Okay, what does that supposed to mean?” Gina was curious.

“I’ll explain later, cousin. Go home with your husband. I’ll make sure Haylee gets home okay, Julia and Christmas.”

“Okay. If she wants to stay with Debbie at the house, she can.” Christmas was glad that Catori and Chayton were visiting their aunt and uncle for the weekend.

Julia promised to let Chayton and Catori spend time with their birth family relatives when she adopted them. She has kept that promise and consider them part of her extended family. She knew it was beneficial to let Chayton and Catori learn about their Native American history.

“I can feel mom nearby.” Amy felt her mother nearby.

Amy, Troy, and Samuel could feel Cain and Lady Joyce. She looks at Tizzy and the other young lady standing with her “is it alright to see my mother and uncle?”

“Why wouldn’t it be?” Krisha looks at Amy with a puzzled look on her face.

“Because it seems that the wolves don’t like us very much.” Amy points to the additional wolves that have shown up.

Krisha looks at the wolves surrounding them. She didn’t know her uncle Jack had so many wolves on the ranch.

“Tizzy, can you make them go away?” Krisha steps close to her big sister.

Tizzy looks at Chaos “go away Chaos. You’re scaring our guest.”

Chaos lets out a slight growl. The other wolves near him join him.

“Chaos, Midnight, Texas, behave yourself.” Haylee steps close to Amy, Troy, and Samuel “stay close to me. They won’t attack you while you’re near me.”

“If you say so.” Amy, Troy, and Samuel steps close to Haylee.

Tizzy escorts everyone to Jack’s Hummer, which was parked nearby. Everyone gets in and head towards the main house.

“I’ve never seen them do that before.” Krisha looks back towards the wolves.

“They smell what we are.” Troy looks at Krisha when he answers her.

“What are you?” Krisha was curious.

“We’ll explain once we are back at the house.” Amy figures that would be the best bet.

Main House, Kitchen:
Selina does her best to get an image of Jack. They watch as Dark Angel arrives and rushes over to Jack. They continue to watch her as she operates on him and share her blood with him. Once she was done, they watch her drag him into the mansion. After that, they lose the satellite picture.

“I hope Jack is alright.” Debbie had a worried look on her face.

Cheshire steps close to her and puts her hand on Debbie’s shoulder “he’ll be okay, Debbie. Jack is too stubborn to die.”

“I hope so, Cheshire. Jack isn’t as young as he uses to be.” Debbie looks into Cheshire’s cat eyes.

“I know, Debbie.” Cheshire was concerned about her best friend.

Selina rests her hand on Debbie’s shoulder as well. She knew Jack has escaped many things, but death wasn’t the one thing he could escape. Still, if there was one person, she was willing to bet on to escape death, it would be him.

Tizzy, Krisha, Haylee, Amy, Troy, and Samuel arrive back at the main house. Haylee runs up to her grandmother Debbie and hugs her.

“Grandma, mom, and aunt Gina have been injured.” Haylee looks up at her grandmother.

Debbie straightens up when she hears her babies have been hurt. She picks Haylee up and places her on her hip “how bad are they hurt?”

“They will recover, Mrs. Bounty. My associates here Troy and Samuel took care of their wounds.” Amy was standing next to her mother.

“Aunt Debbie, the wolves are acting kind of strange around our visitors as well.”

“That’s because they can smell that they are cats and they don’t like them invading their territory.” Haylee figured out why the wolves were acting kind of strange.

Cain, Lady Joyce, and Lady April just look at Haylee as she was being held by her grandmother. They were amazed someone so young
understood how animals thought.

“Haylee has a natural affinity with animals. They seem to trust her and won’t attack her.” Debbie has seen Haylee walk straight up to a stray dog and it let her pet it.

“Why don’t you guys head towards the living room and I’ll bring in some refreshments.” Selina didn’t like a lot of people in her kitchen.

“That sounds like a good idea, Selina. If you’ll follow me, please.” Debbie escorts everyone to the living room, while still holding Haylee. Roxy follows behind them.

“Mom, me and Catlin want to get married before we start our careers. I know you are going to be using Catlin in whatever fight you and uncle Bounty are involved in.” Krisha looks at her mother and watches her facial expression.

“You do know that my enemies and whatever enemies Catlin make will either come after you or try to use you as bait. Are you two sure about this?” Cheshire didn’t want anything to happen to her daughter or Catlin.

“We’re sure about this mom. We know if we wait, it might not happen either because of our careers or like you said might happen.” Catlin was trying to read Cheshire, but she was having a hard time doing it.

Cheshire looks at her daughter and Catlin. She knew Krisha cared about Catlin and all the things Catlin did to Krisha, she should have seen that Catlin cared about Krisha.

“Alright, I’ll let you two get married, but it will have to wait until Catlin gets back from her training. I’m sending you to one of my and Jack’s training camps. If, you two still feel the same, after your training, Catlin. Then you two may get married.”

“But mom, we want to do it before we do anything.” Krisha was hoping that her mother would allow them.

“Sweetie, this will tell me how serious you two are. As for you, I have arranged for you to audition for a ballet troupe that will be traveling the US.”

“Won't that put the whole troupe in danger?” Catlin looks at Cheshire.

“I think the instructors and some of the crew can handle any situation that comes up. So, go and pack your bags Krisha and you, Catlin. Your ride will be here later this afternoon.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Omphile was in the library of the Bounty’s house looking at all the books in it. She was amazed at how many books they had.

“So, this is where you are hiding.” Tizzy had been looking for her younger sister.

Omphile turns around to look at her older sister. She hopes she wasn’t breaking some sort of rule “Am I in trouble?” Omphile hopes she didn’t do anything wrong.

“No, you’re not in trouble sis. I wanted to know if you would like to go to Disney world with me and my husband. I promised Lien I would take her.” Tizzy watches her younger sister. She knew what type of life she has had.

“Is it okay, with mom?”

“Mom has given her permission. So, would you like to go?”

“Yes! I’ve never been, and I like Mickey Mouse.” Omphile couldn’t wait to meet him.

“Well, go and pack your bag. We’re going to be leaving tomorrow morning.” Tizzy arranged everything for her and her family.

Instead of going to the California one, they were going to the Florida one. Tizzy figures it would be hard for any of her mother’s enemies to track her. Plus, her mom had a safe house in Florida.

“Thanks, sis.” Omphile hugs Tizzy as she leaves the library.

“So, can we go as well?” Alyona had heard Tizzy talking to Omphile.

“Sorry Alyona, it's just my family and little sister this time around.” Tizzy smiles at Alyona.

“That’s fine. So, what is going on?” Alyona was curious because no one was telling either her or Silvia.

“Trust me, you’ll have to wait until Uncle Jack tells you. I can tell you this, your world is going to change.”

“You mean it's going to be weirder than being the daughter of a feared assassin and having two older sisters that are dangerous as he is?”
Alyona was watching Tizzy for any clue.

“Yes! Stranger than that.” Tizzy wasn’t going to tell Alyona anymore.

“You don’t play fair, cousin.” Alyona wanted more info.

“I’m a cop, I’m not supposed to play fair.” An evil smile appears on her face.

“Yes, you are.” Alyona knew better because of Julia.

“Okay, to a certain degree I’m supposed to play by the rules. However, there are times the rules need to be broken.”

Alyona just shakes her head. She looks at her older cousin “alright I’ll wait until dad or mom tells me and Silvia what is going on.”

“Smart move.” Tizzy heads back to the room she slept in last night.

Jack’s Office:
Debbie looks at Jack on the big screen monitor in his office. She couldn’t believe how younger he looked. She was still in disbelief over what he told her. Things were getting stranger and stranger around them. Even Cheshire was younger, and she still couldn’t believe the explanation she gave her.

“Sweetie, I promise everything I told you is the truth.” Jack looks at his wife on his end.

“It’s everything is moving so fast and things we thought were myths and legends are turning out to be true. How are we supposed to protect ourselves and our children?” Debbie was concerned about the twins and her girls.

“Like we always have, sweetie. Plus, some changes are going to be made to the ranch, thanks to an agreement I am making with this supernatural council. Look, I’ll hopefully be back within two weeks and we’ll talk some more about this matter. Just trust me, the wolves and our employees on the ranch.” Jack knew everyone that works for him on the ranch could defend it, even from the supernatural.

“I trust you, sweetie. Just be careful and don’t die on me again.”

“I won’t and I promise to come back to you soon.” Jack smiles at his wife’s image.

Christine goes looking for Cheshire. She and Lache needed to get back to Hollywood to continue working on the movie they had been hired to work on. She finally finds Cheshire in Mr. Bounty’s office along with Mrs. Bounty.

She knocks on the office door as she walks into the office “I’m sorry for interrupting, Mrs. Bounty and Cheshire, but Lache and I need to get back to Hollywood to finish the movie we’ve been hired to work on.”

Cheshire knew Debbie was concerned about the changes Jack has been through. She was trying to reassure Debbie things would be alright. When she hears Christine’s voice, she turns to look at her.

“Right now, is kind of dangerous for you to be away and unprotected, Christine.” Cheshire figures the HSL and the Hunter organization might try something.

Debbie looks at Christine “Actually Cheshire, Jack’s got four agents that work in Hollywood or live not too far from it. Also, Julia knows the leaders of two street gangs and the leader of the local chapter of the Hell’s Angels that owe her favors that she could call in.”

Debbie remembers reading the reports Jack made Julia fill out after she visited Los Angeles. She figures they could watch after Christine while she worked in Hollywood.

“A Hells Angels chapter owe Julia a favor?” Cheshire knew they normally handle their own business and never let outsiders in.

“Well, it's more what Terror had done that they owed the favor to. He protected the leader and the co-leader from a sneak attack. They were in talks with another gang when two members of that gang tried to kill the leader and co-leader of the Angels.”

“So, because Terror saved them, the leaders owe Julia.”

“Yes. They told her that if she ever needs their help in L.A. to call on them.”

“Which agents live or work in Hollywood?” Cheshire wasn’t up on the current agents. She had her agents that work in Hollywood.

“There’s Trickster, she and her small team are currently stationed in L.A., but she lives in Santa Monica, California., There are Rachel Wood
and her husband, they work at Hollywood studios as support staff., There’s Johnathan Rivers and he works at Fire Station 41. There are also the twins that go by Thing One and Thing Two. They crack me up with their antics.” Debbie has met them in person, and they were so funny.

“What do they do? Christine hasn’t met them yet.”

“They are street entertainers. They know every street, homeless shelter, drug den, and the gangs in L.A. They are also on good terms with L.A.P.D. as well. The gangs don’t mess with them, because the last gang that did, were found dead. If you think Jack sends a message, the twin's messages are just as bad. Even the Yakuza don’t mess with them.”

“Why’s that?” Christine was curious. She knew Jack and Cheshire were well feared.

“Because they have been known to drop or blow up building on their enemies. Remember that warehouse stunt you saved me children and
Cheshire’s children in?” Debbie looks directly at Christine.

“Yeah, I remember. That’s how I met all of you. Including Kat and her crew.”

“Well, if they had done the job, there wouldn’t have been any survivors. The twins carry revenge/ assassination to a level only matched by Cheshire and Jack.”

“I knew they were dangerous, but I didn’t know they were that dangerous.” Cheshire didn’t know Jack had such dangerous people working for
him.

“You have to remember what was done to them, Cheshire. They were treated like animals since they were children. They were forced to fight for their lives constantly. Jack rescued them from a human-animal farm and with help from a cousin of his, they deprogrammed the twins and trained them. In return for what Jack and his cousin did for them, they have pledged their lives. The only other person who you two employed that comes close to them, is the one you called Hatter. If you turn the three of them lose against your enemies, there would be a high body count.” Debbie knew about Hatter and was happy that she was slowly changing and maturing.

“Okay, so you’ll have some protection in L.A.” Cheshire looks at Christine and wishes she didn’t want to go back to Hollywood.

Lache went looking for Christine and heard her talking with Cheshire and Mrs. Bounty in an office. He quietly walks in and over to Christine. He knew Cheshire had spotted him and so did Mrs. Bounty.

“Don’t forget, Cheshire. There’s that Were-woman Lady Amy Cartwright. She said we could stay at her place.” Christine liked Mrs. Cartwright.

“Have you forgotten that Asia wants to have sex with us?” Lache looks at Christine to see if she forget that piece of information.

“Who’s this Asia person?” Both Debbie and Cheshire look at Christine and Lache.

“She’s Lady Cartwright’s servant and is very sexually active. She looks like a furry and enjoys any type of sexual experience.”

A smirk appears on Debbie’s face. She’s known a few cowgirls that were like that.

“Okay, does it bother you?” Cheshire knew Christine was now exploring her sexuality since getting her vagina.

“Not really, I just don’t swing that way. I enjoy having a man’s penis between my legs, instead of another woman.” Christine wasn’t bothered by Nora and Kelly's relationship.

“Well, just make it known, you’re not interested. As for the others, for now, I would like for you to keep a low profile. Rachel and her husband might be the best bet to look after you when you at the studios.”

“I was thinking the same thing. They have access to everything on the lot. They also have contacts with other people on the lot that could help out.”

“So, Lache and I can go back to work, then?” Christine wanted to go back to work.

“Yes. Just keep in touch with us and your mother.” Cheshire figures Christine should be safe.

“I will. So, when can I leave?”

“You can leave with me. I’ll have the pilot drop you and Lache off at the airport with Krisha.”

“Cool.”

Several Hours Later:
Debbie watches as all her guests leave the ranch on the private Lear Jets Jack owned. Gina had informed her that she had to fly out to Kansas to handle a problem that has come up. Arabella was staying with her because Arnold was going with his wife. Which she didn’t mind, she loved having her grandchildren over.

Debbie turns to walk back to the house with two of the wolves following her. She could drive if she wanted to, but she liked to walk.
