Aero Flight Industries, Coconino County, Arizona:
Katey couldn’t believe it’s been three months since she came to work for Aero Flight Industries. Project Night Bird was the resurrection of an old project Boeing abandoned in favor of drone development back in 2004.

The owner of Aero Flight decided to resurrect the project as their own and bought all the rights to the project. She even redesigned the helicopter that Boeing had built. The owner of Aero flight believed a drone can’t do what a human pilot could do and that hackers will find a way to bypass government control. They needed to stop relying on technology so badly.

Katey suits up and heads out to Night Bird 1 for today’s test trails. They were sending combat drones after her. Her gunner was as good as she was.

As she approaches Night Bird, she spots Jessica checking over things. She had been an Apache pilot just like herself and served overseas and fought against the Taliban. Her Apache had been brought down by a rocket and she had sustained several injuries from the explosion.

“Has everything checked out okay, Jessica?” Katey has learned a lot about Jessica in the last three months.

One of those things were, Jessica was still in the closet about her sexuality. Secondly, she suffered from nightmares of the day she was shot down. Thirdly, Jessica was scared to act on how she felt. Her father and mother were preachers and believed homosexuals go against the bible.

She knew Jessica wasn’t religious. Hell, Jessica was more open-minded than most people she knew.

“Everything is ready for today’s testing.” Jessica looks towards Katey as she comes walking out.

The two of them have been flying together for the last three months. She could pretty much anticipate what Katie wanted her to do.

“That’s good to know. Let’s get this party started.” Katey climbs aboard, followed by Jessica.

Once Katey gets the okay to take off, she does and starts following the path that had been laid out. She looks towards Jessica as she flies “so, what do you think they are going to throw at us, today?”

“Drones armed with missiles and mobile missile units.” Jessica double checks her systems as Katey lifts off and starts heading for the proving grounds.

Katey concentrates on her flying as they flew. The Night Bird was acting a little weird, unlike yesterday. She flies the helicopter and prepares for whatever attack was coming their way.

“Switching to stealth mode.” Jessica activates the new system they were trying out.

She notices the helicopter goes completely quiet and the helicopter blends with the sky. Jessica was amazed as the outside skin of the helicopter blended and sync itself with the sky.

“Oh, man I like this. This is something out of James Bond.” Jessica remembers watching a James Bond movie where his car could do what the helicopter was doing now.

“This is cool. What is even cooler, is the fact we aren’t showing up yet on the radar.” As they track a drone fly right by them.

They keep going and play possum all during the test. The controls still didn’t feel right to Katey. The helicopter was fighting her as she tried to control it.

“Jessica, I’m heading back to base. The controls aren’t responding like they did yesterday.” As Katey changes direction.

“Alright, I’ll radio the base that we are heading back.” Jessica switches to the encrypted frequency they were assigned.

“Night Bird, to AFI control tower, Night Bird to AFI control tower, we are experiencing some control problems and are heading back to the
hangar.” Jessica couldn’t believe they were experiencing control problems.

“Deactivating stealth system.” Jessica switches off the stealth systems.

The skin of the helicopter switches back to its normal black coloring. The control of the helicopter gets worse as they barely make it back. Katey lands the helicopter without any problems.

The ground crew come over and open up the engine compartment and start going through things.

“Come on Jessica, let’s go get some lunch. It might take them a while to fix the helicopter.” Katey escorts Jessica to her Jeep.

“Where are we going?” Jessica knew how adventurous Katey was.

“I found a little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant not far, from here.” Katey drives towards the restaurant.

“What do you think is wrong with the helicopter?” Jessica felt it vibrating by the time they landed. She didn’t think they were going to make a safe landing.

“If I had to say, the control rod was out of alignment. I didn’t have problems with it yesterday, but today it wasn’t responding as it should.” Katey kept an eye out for the restaurant she spotted.

“How is your family doing?” Jessica knew Katey had two brothers and one older sister.

“They are doing well. My older sister has met someone she likes. It's just a matter of time before they get married.” Katey knew her brothers were going to start pressuring her to get married.

Katey slows down and takes the turn, a little fast. She pulls up into the parking lot.

“Do you always drive like a maniac?” Jessica had to hold onto the suicide bar for dear life.

“If you think I’m crazy, you should ride with my business partner. She’s extremely crazy.” Katey finds a good parking spot.

“What does your business partner do?” Jessica takes her seat belt off.

“She’s a private investigator. According to the Flagstaff newspaper, she just busted a black-market dealer that specializes in Native American artifacts.” Katey shuts the engine off and gets out of her jeep.

“So, you do private investigation, when you’re not flying?” Jessica looks over towards her flight partner.

“Sometimes. I haven’t worked on a case with my partner yet, except to shuttle her around.” Katey leads the way into the restaurant.

When they walk in, it had an old world feel to it. All the decorations looked to be authentic. Like they all had come from Mexico during the Western days. When America was still young.

An older Hispanic woman comes over and takes their drink order. She leaves them a menu to select their lunch. Katey already knew what she wanted for lunch.

Jessica looks over her menu. Mexican wasn’t something she wasn’t familiar with; except tacos and burritos, her family had a few times. She looks over to Katey “What would you recommend?”

“It’s my first time here. However, I normally judge a place by how well they do their burritos or their fajitas.” Katey loved fajitas.

“Sounds good. I’ll try theirs to see how well they do them.” Jessica closes her menu.

Their waitress returns and takes their order. Katey orders a large Margarita for herself and Jessica orders a normal Iced Tea. Once she leaves,
Katey looks at Jessica.” How are the nightmares?”

“Sometimes I have them, sometimes I sleep peacefully. I’m surprised I survived that attack.” Jessica still had reminders on her body from that attack.

“Trust me, I know how you feel,” Katey remembered getting hit in her shoulder from a machine gun, while she was saving some soldiers.

They sit and enjoy their drinks and food when it arrives. Katey has two more large Margarita. Which meant when they leave, Jessica ended up driving Katey back to her place. She takes Katie’s keys and opens her front door.

Jessica has been to Katey’s place a few times, so she knew where everything was. She helps Katey to her bedroom and helps undress her. A few times Katey tries to kiss her, but she stops her from doing it. As much as she likes Katie, she doesn’t know if she wants to get involved with her.

She was still learning about herself.

Jessica helps to undress Katey and to get her nightshirt on. Once she gets Katey to lay down in bed. She feels Katey pull her down to her and place a kiss on her.

“Stay with me, please.” Katey looks into Jessica’s eyes.

“I don’t think that would be wise.” Jessica had some feelings stirring beneath the surface for Katey.

“Please?” As Katey gives Jessica her puppy dog eyes.

Jessica just stared into Katey’s emerald green eyes. She couldn’t believe how green they were. She felt herself wavering from looking into those eyes.

“Fine, I’ll sleep with you.” Jessica starts removing her clothes and crawls into bed with Katey.

During the night, Katey worships Jessica’s body. She feeds the hunger she so desperately has been missing since she left the service. She also brings Jessica to heights she has never experience.

Jessica couldn’t believe what Katey was doing to her. She has sex before with men and two other women, but they had never done or made her feel the way Katey was doing with her tongue and fingers. After what seems like hours, Katey holds Jessica’s nude body against her as they slept.

Jessica had passed out from the orgasms Katey had given her. She slept peacefully for once since being shot down. She felt Katey’s arms holding her.

Katey held Jessica against her body. She could tell from Jessica’s breathing that she was finally sleeping like a baby. She places a kiss on Jessica’s cheek “sleep tight, sweetie.”

Jessica wakes up hours later and finds herself naked and held by Katey. She tries to see what time it was, but she couldn’t find her cellphone. She turns around in Katey’s arms and looks at her sleeping face. She traces Katey’s full lips with her finger. She couldn’t believe what Katey did to her last night. Everything, she felt from Katey, made her want more. She leans in and kisses Katey on the mouth.

Katey felt someone kissing her and she returned the kiss. Her grip around Jessica increase, pressing their breasts together more. Kissing leads to more sex. When they are finally done and have gone to the bathroom. They fall asleep in each other's arms. Three hours had slipped by, by the time they wake-up again. Jessica was snuggled against Katey’s body.

Jessica looks up at Katey and notices she was still asleep. She found one of Katey’s ticklish spots while exploring her body. She slides out of bed and rushes to the bathroom. Her bladder was urging her to pee.

“Sounds like you have a waterfall coming out of you.” Katey was standing in the doorway watching Jessica as she peed.

Jessica’s cheeks turn red from Katey’s comment and the fact that she had another woman watching her pee. She was still a little shy about certain things. Even in high school, she didn’t like other girls watching her as she changed clothes.

“Are you going to keep watching me as I pee?”

A smile appears on Katey’s face as she turns and heads towards the kitchen. She fixes a pot of coffee for the two of them. She also cracks open a can of biscuits and place them in the oven.

Jessica comes walking into the kitchen wearing the nightshirt she put on Katey. She also put on a clean pair of Katey’s panties, since she didn’t have any with her. She wasn’t planning on spending the night, but after Katey had looked into her eyes with those beautiful emerald green eyes of hers. She couldn’t resist staying and sleeping with Katey.

“What’s for breakfast, besides you?” Jessica had looked at Katey with a smirk on her face.

Katey just smiles from that comment “how do some eggs, sausage, and fresh baked biscuits sound?”

“Sounds wonderful. I hope the coffee is fresh as well.” Jessica spotted the coffee brewing.

“It is. There’s creamer in the refrigerator and sugar on the counter, in the glass jar.” Katey points towards the sugar container.

Jessica gets up and fixes herself a cup of coffee. Katey fixes breakfast for them. The clock in the kitchen was showing that it was 11:00 am.

“Do you want coffee?” Jessica spotted Katey’s favorite coffee cup.

“Yeah, I would love a cup.”

Jessica fixes her a cup as well. She knew how many creamers and sugars she took.

“Here you go.” Jessica hands the cup to Katie.

“Thanks.” Katey accepts it and takes a sip of it.

Katey finishes fixing breakfast for them. She places two plates on the table and put the biscuits in a basket and set that on the table. Once she places everything on the table.

“Dig in.” Katey sits down across from Jessica.

“So, do you think they will have the Night Bird fix, by Monday?” Jessica had fixed herself a scrambled egg and sausage biscuit.

“Yeah, the chief engineer for the company is flying in to handle the problem herself. Once that problem is fixed, we get to see what other problems we can find.” Katey had a smile on her face when she says that.

Jessica just shakes her head and enjoys her breakfast. She knew how crazy of a pilot Katey was after flying with her for the past three months.

“So, what do you want to do for the rest of the day?” She looks at Katey.

“Well, we could go out and do some shopping or we could stay here and watch a movie or two.” Katey didn’t do much on the weekends, except fly or drink.

“We can do a movie or something tomorrow. Why don’t we go by my apartment so I can change and grabs some clothes to bring over?” Jessica felt like wearing something other then she wore the other day.

“Okay.”

After breakfast, Jessica helps Katey clean up the kitchen. Jessica goes and puts the clothes she had on the other day. She feels Katey caress her but cheeks “I like the way my panties support your ass.”

Jessica just blushes from the compliment. All of this was new to her. She didn’t know how to handle these new emotions.

Once she and Katey were dressed. They drive over to Jessica’s place so she could change and grab some clothes. They stop at the grocery store and pick up what they will need for dinner tonight. Jessica was willing to cook for the two of them. They spend the rest of Saturday watching movies and later fixing dinner. On Sunday the only thing they put on our nightshirts.

Four Months Later:
“Targeting system operating at one hundred percent and lasers fully charge at 100%” Jessica was loving the new weapon system Aero Flight
Industries installed into Night Bird, and the new targeting system as well. Whatever they looked and fired at, it hit with one hundred percent accuracy.

Instead of having a mini-gun or autocannon like the Apaches had. Night Bird had been equipped with a new railgun. It could go right through the armor of an M1 Abram tanks armor.

It was just recently they had been fitted for two laser cannons. One on each side of the helicopter. Their internal missile bays held fewer missiles than the Apache, but it was equipped with lasers now and advance targeting systems that could lock onto the newer missiles and blow them up before they reach them.

They were out testing the new targeting systems when Jessica picks up communication from a State Trooper under fire by armed assailants. She brings up the location of the Trooper and their location. They could get to him before reinforcements showed.

“Katey, there’s a State Trooper that needs help.” Jessica plays the emergency radio signal.

“AFI Tower 4, we’re changing course to provide support to a State Trooper under fire.” Katey turns the helicopter towards the direction the State Trooper was.

“Roger, Night Bird. Informing emergency units to join you.” Jerry was monitoring the tracking beacon Night Bird was equipped with when they weren’t under stealth mode.

Once the helicopter went into stealth mode, they couldn’t track it. It was designed that way, just in case someone learned its transponder code. Only the Chinese currently had anything remotely capable of picking up on it.

As Katey brings them closer to the gunfight going on the highway. They could see that the trooper was pinned behind his car. He had managed to turn it sideways to help protect himself. There were three people shooting at him with automatic rifles. They had the trooper pinned down.

“Zoom in on the trooper, Jessica.” Katey wonders why the trooper hadn’t moved.

Jessica zooms in on the trooper. She could see he has been shot up badly and was losing blood.

“Charging lasers.” Jessica flips the switch for the lasers.

“Hold off on the lasers. Let’s see if I can dust them.” Katey brings the helicopter in closer and lower to the combat.

Officer Miller had tried to call for back-up, but he didn’t know if his signal had been received. The people he was pursuing, had stolen the car they were in and killed the occupants. He had managed to tap their bumper, forcing them off the road, but they managed to recover. The car blew a tire. Just as he was going to stop and try to arrest them. They got out of the car and started firing at him. He managed to turn his car
sideways to use for protection. Several bullets had hit him, and they had him pinned down behind his car.

He feels a strong wind pick-up as a black helicopter appeared and started lowering down on his location. He looks up while shielding his eyes as it hovered right above the three figures.

“Drop your weapons now, before I turn you into a grease spot on the highway.” Jessica opens the weapon bays.

The three gang members saw the black helicopter hovering right above them and was whipping up a hell of a lot of wind. Even if they wanted to fight to turn their guns towards the helicopter, they couldn’t. They saw two black pods lower from the side of the helicopter. They throw their guns down and get down on the ground with their hands behind their heads.

Several patrol cars arrive, along with a medical chopper. Katey had stayed to make sure the gangsters didn’t get any ideas. Once the police officer was being taken care of by the paramedics. She heads back to AFI airfield.

“Oh, man. Did you see the look on their faces when we let the cloak drop?” Jessica had recorded it for later.

“Or when the weapon pods drop down and were aimed at them?” Katey had a big ole’ smile on her face.

The techs come out and pull Night Bird into his hangar. Jessica was feeling good about what they did.

“The Commanding officer of the State Trooper you saved, sends his thanks. Also, he asks if you have any footage of what you did, and could you send it to him?” Murray Webber wanted to give his test pilot’s the Commanding officer of the State Troopers message personally.

“Hey, Murray. We have some footage you can give him. You should have seen the gangsters face when we appeared. It was like something out of Star Trek.”

“I bet it was. You did well. Let’s head inside and you can give me a debrief on what happened.”

“No problem.” The three of them head towards the main building, while Night Bird is hooked up to his support equipment.

“Tell me again why we are out here flying in the middle of the night?” Jessica was watching where they were going.

“Because we are testing how well Night Bird handles at night.” Katey didn’t like flying at night, but orders from the mountain came and they wanted to test how Night Bird handled.

“Okay, blacking out the canopy and going to instruments only.” Jessica presses a few apps on the computer screen and watches as the canopy goes completely dark.

Holographic displays light up the inside of the cockpit. This was something new that Jessica and Katey have never experience.

“Wow! I never thought they would go all out like this.” Jessica couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

“I know, I have never seen a system that gives you such a detail image.” Katey could see completely around the outside of the helicopter and underneath them as well.

“This is so unbelievable.” Jessica turns her head to look towards the left-hand side of them and the view changes and gives her everything in that area.

“This is like being inside a VR unit.”

“I know. The images are crystal clear and I can see everything near us or far away from us.” Jessica wonders how much energy the system was using.

“We could have used this system over in Afghanistan.” Katey watches as the airplane passes them on their right. It was several miles off, but the image she was seeing inside the cockpit allowed her to get the number of the plane and what the plane looked like.

“How high do you think we can go?”

“You know, I have no idea. Murry never did tell us.” Katey was curious.

“Let’s find out.”

“Okay, let AFI tower know we're doing an altitude test.” Katey starts taking Night Bird higher up.

“Night Bird to AFI Tower, we’re conducting an altitude test. I repeat, AFI Tower, we are going to conduct an altitude test.”

“Alright Night Bird, we’re going to track you and see how high you can go. If you start experiencing problems abort the test and come back to base.” Murry had them a few miles out from the field.

“Roger, AFI Tower.” Jessica had a smile on her face.

“Going up.” Katey had already begun climbing when she got permission.

Jessica watches their height on the screen. So far, they were at 24,000 feet and still climbing.

“We’re approaching maximum height for turbine engines.” Jessica knew turbine driven helicopters could only reach 25,000 feet.

“We’re not turbine driven.” Katey knew Night Bird wasn’t turbine driven.

She asked the mechanics what type of engine Night Bird had, but none of them could tell her. All they could tell her was it didn’t use any aviation fuel but was powered by four hydrogen fuel cells. She does wonder if the engine might be electric or something.

“We’re reaching 30,000 feet.” Jessica wonders how much higher they could go.

Katey wasn’t feeling any problems with the handling yet. She was wondering how much higher they could go as well. She watches the attitude meter as they kept climbing. When they reached 38,000 feet, she started to feel some handling problems. A slight vibration shakes the helicopter.

“Katey, did you feel that?”

“Yeah, I did. I want to see if we can hit 40,000 feet.” Katey was finding it harder to control Night Bird.

Jessica kept watching as they climbed. She could feel the vibrations increasing as they went higher. She watches as they inched towards 40,000 feet.

“Bingo! We hit 40,000 feet.” Katey was happy as they hit their mark.

“Katey, I think we better start heading back down.” Some of the systems started to flicker.

“I’m on it.” Katey heads back down towards the airfield.

The flight back down towards the airfield was smoother. Katey kept the VR system up and lands. Once they were landed, Jessica turned the system off and return the canopy to normal.

“What’s our energy reading at?” Katey was curious.

“Fuel cell number one is completely depleted, and Fuel cell number two is reading halfway depleted. Fuel cells 3&4 are still fully charged.” Jessica starts shutting systems down.

“That’s good to hear.” Katey opens the canopy as the flight crew brings a ladder over for them to climb down.

“You know, we really need to talk with Mrs. Blake about putting places we can step on.” Jessica climbs down the fighter.

“Where would she put them? There’s no way she can modify the body of the helicopter.” Katey walks beside Jessica as they head towards the
locker room to change out of their flight suit.

“Good question.”

The two of them walk into the locker room and over towards their locker. The locker room was unisex, so they shared it with some of the male pilot’s that worked for the company. Luckily for them, there wasn’t anyone in the locker room.

“My brother in California wants us to come out and visit him this weekend. Are you up to meeting my family?” Katey watches Jessica body language.

Jessica was still getting used to their relationship. She didn’t know if she was up to meeting Katey’s family yet.

“Oh, come on. They aren’t that bad. Besides, you get to meet my niece and nephew.” Katey puts her arm around Jessica’s waist as they walk out of the locker room.

They walk to Katey’s Jeep and drive back to Katey’s place. Jessica had finally moved in with Katey. Jessica was hastened at first, but she finally broke down and took the leap.

After thirty minutes of driving, they arrive home “home sweet, home.”

Katey pulls the Jeep up behind Jessica’s black 2015 Land Rover. She turns the engine off and the two of them head towards the front door. Both were feeling tired after their nighttime flight.

Once they were inside and in their bedroom. Katey and Jessica get ready for bed.

Katey puts on an oversized black t-shirt that had an image of Yosemite Sam with his guns out. She doesn’t bother putting on any underwear.
Jessica puts on her baby blue satin lace chemise nightgown and a clean pair of panties.

Katey just looks at Jessica “really? You know I’m just going to remove them.”

“Yes, I don’t like sleeping without underwear on.” Jessica crawls into bed next to Katey.

She snuggles up to Katey as she lays down. She loved the perfume Katey wore and could still smell it on her body. She also likes being held by Katey.

Sometime during the night, Katey removes Jessica’s panties and toss them on the floor. She loved feeling Jessica pressed against her. She told Jessica about her childhood and how she had gender reassignment surgery before joining the military.

When Jessica wakes up, she notices her panties were missing. She felt Katey spooned against her back and her bottom pressed against her butt cheeks. She turns around in Katey’s arms and reach up under her t-shirt and squeeze her nipple.

Katey snaps awake when she feels pain from her nipple. She notices that Jessica was looking at her face “why did you do that?”

“Because you removed my panties last night while I was asleep.”

“That’s because I don’t like having anything blocking me from molesting you.” As Katey puts her hand between Jessica’s leg and starts fingering her.

Jessica moans a little “two can play that game.” As she moves her hand from Katey’s breast to her vaginal opening and starts fingering Katey.

The next hour Katey and Jessica play with each other’s bodies. Katey lets Jessica do whatever she wants to her body. She loves when Jessica takes control and use her the way she wants to be used.

They look at each other, as they lay next to each other in the spots they hadn’t slept. Jessica caresses Katey's cheek.

“So, are we driving to your brother’s place or flying?” Jessica knew Katey had a helicopter of her own.

“Driving. I thought we would make a road trip of it.” Katey rolls onto Jessica and sits up.

Katey looks down into Jessica’s eyes as she leans down and kisses Jessica on her full lips. She loved Jessica’s lips and her nose. She had a heart shaped face.

Jessica returns the kiss and holds onto Katey’s hips. She couldn’t believe she found someone she cared a lot about. She didn’t care that Katey had been raised as a boy. All she cared about was how much she loved her.

She felt her bladder telling her she needed to pee. She breaks the kiss “baby, I have to go and pee.” As she looked into Katey’s eyes.

“Okay, while you pee, I’ll get the tub ready for us.” Katie gets off Jessica and walks towards the bathroom to get the bathwater going.

Jessica follows behind her. She’s gotten used to Katey watching her pee. She still felt uneasy about it.

Katey adds some bath salts to the bath water, while Jessica pees. She found it amusing sometimes when Jessica did number one. She hears the toilet flush behind her.

“I’ll get in first.” Katey climbs into the tub first.

“You just like having me sit on top of the jet.” Jessica climbs in and sits between Katey's legs.

Katey turns the water jet on and watches as Jessica flinches when the water shoots up into her. A smirk appears on her face when she turned the water jet on.

“One day I’m going to make you sit here and turn the jet on.”

“You already turn me on.” Katey kisses Jessica’s cheek.

Jessica and Katey wash each other’s bodies. Katie spends a little more time between Jessica’s legs, then she should. When they get out of the tub, they dry each other’s body.

When they get dress, Katey puts on a nice light dress, while Jessica puts on a pair of slacks and blouse.

“I think this is the second time I’ve seen you wear a dress.” Jessica liked how Katey looked in a dress.

“Most of the time I don’t have a reason to wear one.” Katie only liked wearing them on special occasions.

“So, what special occasion is it?” Jessica finishes dressing.

“I’m seeing my niece and nephew.” Katey checks how she looks and grabs her purse.

“Well, let's get on the road then.” Jessica was ready and had a few items she always took with her on road trips.

"Okay." Katey grabs her stuff.

“Whose car are we taking?” Jessica leads the way out of the house.

“We can take yours if you want too. I don’t feel like putting the panels back on mine.”

“Well, you are going to need to move your Jeep, so I can back out.” Jessica pulls her keys out of her purse.

“No problem.” Katey pulls her keys out and heads over towards her Jeep.

Katey moves her Jeep, so Jessica could back her Land Rover out. Once the Land Rover was out of the way. She pulls her Jeep Wrangler into its spot and turns the engine off.

Katey gets into the Land Rover and fastens her seat belt. She pulls her cellphone out and link it with the Land Rover radio and select some music to listen too. She looks towards Jessica “head towards the interstate.”

“Okay.” Jessica heads for the interstate.

“I thought you said your brother was an LAPD police officer?” Jessica couldn’t believe the estate they were pulling into.

“He is, but his wife is the second child of a famous actor. Her father gave them his home in Beverly Hills as a wedding gift.” Katey saw that her brother was home as they pulled up behind his SUV.

Jessica parks her Land Rover behind a black Ford SUV. Just as she turns the engine off, two children come running out of the house towards the Land Rover.

“Auntie Katey! Aunt Katey!” Two young kids run up to Katey as she gets out.

Katey looks at her niece and nephew. They had gotten bigger since she visited them around Thanksgiving. She and Jessica had visited her cousin out in Texas and met his new adopted daughters for Christmas.

Katey hugs her niece and nephew. She loved them very much.

“Katey, I have someone new for you to meet.” Vicky comes walking over with a bundle in her hand.

“You had another baby and didn’t tell me?” Katey liked to be informed about her brother and his wife kids.

“She’s not from me. Paul found her abandoned in a dumpster near his favorite book store. He brought her to me at the hospital. He and members of his SWAT team went looking for her mother and found her. Her mother was alive, very weak when they found her. She died on the way to the hospital. So, we adopted her.” Vicky looks down into the face of her adopted daughter.

Jessica had given hugs to Katie’s niece and nephew. She didn’t have any siblings, because she was an only child. She had cousins and enjoyed spending time with them.

They head inside the house with her niece holding Katey’s hand and the other one holding Jessica’s.

Katey looks down at her niece “have you been doing good in school?”

“I passed to the fourth grade.” Ashley was proud she passed from third grade to fourth grade.

“How about your twin? Did he pass as well?” Katey wonders if Paul Jr. had passed as well.

“He passed, as well.”

A smile appears on her face as she walks inside the house with her niece. The twins took after their mother in looks. Paul Jr. and Ashley both had their mother’s dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Ashley was born eight seconds before her brother.

Katey spots her brother waiting for her when they arrive in the living room. She noticed his arm was in a sling and his face was black and blue.

“What happened to you?” Katey knew it was hard to bring her older brother down.

He had years of Martial arts training under his belt and special forces training as well. That’s not adding in his boxing skills and strength. He normally competed in the Ironman Triathlon.

“I and my partner got jumped by some gang members on our day off. They jumped us as we went to look into the sounds of a woman crying out for help. There were at least six of them and were armed with metal pipes. I sent two of our attackers to the hospital and my partner Officer Vale killed one of his attackers. The other three were arrested when a patrol car responded to my signal.” Paul was hurting and had just taken a pain pill when his sister showed up.

Jessica was holding the baby in her arms “what did you name her?”

“We named her, Kennedy. I know it sounds weird naming a baby girl Kennedy, but she’s named after one of Paul’s military friend. He died of cancer two weeks before Paul found our little bundle of joy.” Vicky loved her new daughter.

“What do you know about her mother?” Jessica wonders why her mother abandons her.

“She was a prostitute and had already had two other babies before her. They had been taken away from her and placed in a foster home.” Vicky had Paul check the mother out, just in case the girl’s parents wanted the child.

“Well, this little girl is going to be spoiled by you guys and Katey.”

Vicky shows Jessica and Katey to the spare bedroom she had set up for them. The kids were entertaining their father.

“I forgot how much your niece and nephew love you.” Jessica was watching Katey as she put their clothes in the dresser draws.

“I love them as well. I couldn’t believe my brother and his wife waited so long to have children.” Katey figured they would have kids a few years after they got married.

“Why did they wait so long?” Jessica was curious.

“Paul wanted to wait until he gained some rank. Also, Vicky was a medic in the army as well. She was bounced around from one unit to another unit. She wanted to gain a few ranks as well.” Katey takes her hairbrush out and brushes her hair.

“So, how much older is your brother?” Jessica was sitting on the bed watching Katey.

“My sister Carol is the oldest, My brother Paul is the next oldest, my brother Arron is the next and I’m the youngest. There’s a two year age gap between me and my youngest brother. I’m 28, my next oldest brother is 30, My older brother is 38 and my sister is 40.” Katey hopes she
remembered right. Her brother was retired from the military. She spent ten years in the military before she was forced to retire. She joined a few months after having her surgery.

Jessica and Katey go and spend time with the kids. Jessica plays a video game with Paul Jr. and Katey plays dolls with Ashley. Vicky had put Kennedy back in her crib for an afternoon nap.

“She looks so sweet.” Katey had followed her sister-in-law into the nursery.

“They are, but you get woken up at all hours of the night and morning. Kennedy has been better than the twins when they were her age. She lets me and Paul sleep.”

“That is good. I remember when the twins were born and I came out here to help you and your mother with them. I was woken up every time they cried.” Katey was glad when she went back home to peace and quiet.

“So, have you and Jessica talked about getting married and having kids?” Vicky had been wondering about that.

“Not yet, Jessica is still adjusting to being a lesbian and finding herself.” Katie didn’t want to ask Jessica yet about kids and such.
Jessica was enjoying playing with the kids. They had stopped playing video games and now we're playing a board game.

“Who’s winning?” Katey saw that Jessica, Ashley and Paul Jr. were playing monopoly.

“Paul, he’s ahead of me and Ashley.” Jessica was enjoying playing the game with the kids.

Katey helps her sister-in-law fix dinner. Normally, her brother would, but he was passed out on the sofa from the pain medicine.

“How bad are Paul’s wounds?”

“He’s got several fracture ribs, a broken arm, broken nose, and he had a concussion. However, he is passed that, thank god. You see how bruised and swollen his face is. His chest and back are one big bruised from the gang members beating him repeatedly.”

“I’m surprised they got the jump on Paul. He’s a very hard person to ambush. When we were kids, I could never surprise him. He always knew what I was going to do before I did.” Katey sometimes thought her brother was psychic.

Then she learned, that he has a natural talent to see anticipate what a person is going to do. He is good at reading a situation and person and predicting their moves.

“I’m with you. He must have had other things on his mind, that day.” Vicky knew her husband.

“It’s possible.” Katey finishes the task her sister-in-law gave her.

While the food was simmering, Katey checks on Jessica.

Cora approaches the Rv quietly and cautiously. The spirits had been pestering her about this location. She cautiously opens the bullet-ridden door and looks inside the dark interior. She didn’t need a light to see, because of the mystic nature of her fox mask. She could smell the coppery scent of cold blood.

There had to be at least six dead bodies inside. Most of them were wearing a black ski mask, but there was one that looked to have been handcuff and executed. The person looked like he was some sort of engineer.

Cora searches his body and finds his company id badge. It had the name of Aero Flight Industries on it. Cora knew that was the same company her friend Katey was working for now, being a test pilot for some sort of experimental helicopter. She tucks the company badge in her pouch.

Cora continues to search the Rv. and finds some papers stuff up under one of the seats in the Rv. She pulls them out and examines them. They looked like blueprints for Aero Flight Industries. Not their main headquarters, but the one her friend was working at. There were also some pictures of aircraft behind a chain-link fence along with the layout of the area. She had no idea what this meant, but maybe Katey would.

She folds the papers and tucks them in her pouch. She pulls her cellphone out and calls Joe Running Buffalo on the tribal police force.

“Hello, Yavapai Apache Nation police station, how can I help you?”

“Hi, Flying Goose, its Cora with Black Feather Investigations. I need for you to send a patrol car and the coroners to these GPS coordinates.” Cora brings up the coordinates for the Rv.

Flying Goose writes the GPS coordinates down as Cora reads them off. She worked a few times with Cora and met her in person at one of the Pow Wow’s the reservation held.

“What have you stumble across now?” Flying Goose knew Cora answered to the spirits.

“I don’t know, yet.” Cora wonders why the spirits wanted her involved.

Cora waits around until the tribal police show up.

Katey’s Older Brother’s House:
Katey looks down at her niece as she slept next to her. She came in last night and crawled into bed with her and Jessica. She looked so sweet just laying snuggled up against her.

“She looks so sweet, sleeping next to you.” Jessica was looking over towards Ashley as she slept next to Katey.

“They all look sweet when they are this age. It’s when they get older that their true nature comes out.”

“I don’t think she’s going to be a problem. Having a father that’s a police officer will ground her.” Jessica figures that Paul was going to be a big influence on Ashley.

“Maybe.” Katey looks down at her niece.

Katey hears her cellphone ringing. She looks around for it as it continued to ring. She finally spots it on Jessica’s side of the bed.
She reaches across Jessica’s body, brushing her breasts as she grabs her phone. She looks at the number and wonders why Cora was calling her.

“What’s up, Cora?” Katey was curious why Cora called her.

“Hey, are you home?” Cora looks out towards the desert as the tribal police did their thing inside the Rv.

“No, I’m out in California visiting my family with my girlfriend. Why what’s up?” Katey’s curiosity peeked now.

“I found a dead guy that works for the company you are currently employed by. Along with the guy and his id card, I also found what looks like maps of a building and pictures of some sort of parking lot that has a bunch of aircraft in it.” Cora pulls the pictures out and tries to figure out what or where they were.

“Let me give you the number of the person I report to. Maybe he can help you until I get back in town.” Katey looks through her contacts and brings Murray Webber’s phone number up.

“Alright, Cora it’s 928-654-9738. Ask for Murray Webber. He is the person I report too. He might be able to help you.” Katey knew Murry was a nice guy.

“Alright, thanks, Katey. Enjoy your visit with your family.”

“Thanks. I’ll see you when I get back in town.”

“Alright, bye.” Cora ends the call.

Jessica looks towards Katey “who was that?”

“Remember the partner I told you about that is a private investigator?”

“Yeah, the one that operates and lives on the reservation?” Jessica was puzzled why she would call.

“Well, it seems she has stumbled across something that involves Aero Flight Industries. So, I gave her the number to Murry. She also said that she discovered something else, but she doesn’t know what it is. So, hopefully, Murry can give her some clue about what she found.”

“I thought you said she mostly does investigation on the reservation?” Jessica hasn’t met this person yet.

“She does and whatever happened must have taken place on the reservation.” Katey knew how Cora operated and what this was about.
Ashley starts to move and slowly wakes-up. She looks up at Jessica and her aunt.

“Well, good morning sleepy head.” Katey scoops her niece up and just hold her.

Today they were going to visit her other brother and have dinner with her older sister and her boyfriend. Katey carries Ashley downstairs to join her brother and mother for breakfast. Jessica was following behind them.

Private Airfield Out in The Desert:
Lucy looks at herself in the mirror as she tries to hold the tears back. She glances at her cybernetic arm and misses her real right arm. She would give anything to have her real right arm back. She wishes she never made the deal she did with Simon Wright. She wipes the tears away with her left hand.

“Hey punk, get your sissy ass out here and get to work.” Kairo couldn’t believe they managed to steal the aircraft they got last night, while the other team broke into Aero flight Industries.

Lucy wipes the tears away and heads out into the old hangar they were working out of. It had everything she needed to make the modifications to the Eurocopter Tiger and the Apache they stole from the aircraft graveyard.

“It’s about time, sissy boy. Why Mr. Wright is keeping you alive, I’ll never know.”

“Because morons like you and the gorilla over there don’t understand aerodynamics or how helicopters work.” Lucy was getting tired of Kairo’s mouth.

Kairo steps forward to backhand Lucy. He was getting tired of the sissy’s mouth.

“Go ahead and do it, Kairo. Mr. Wright would love to know why we are behind schedule.” Lucy had stepped forward, daring Kairo to hit her.

Kairo turns around and walks out of the hangar.

Lucy wakes up from where she had fallen asleep. The red indicator that powered her bionic arm was flashing fast, which meant the battery pack was low on energy. She climbs down from the cockpit of the Apache she had been working on and over to her makeshift workbench.
Once she is there, she turns her arm off and pushes down on the release button, that allows her arm to pop off the shaft that was part of the artificial mount attached to her shoulder.

It was a good thing her artificial arm wasn’t too heavy as she grabs it with her left hand and lowers it to the workbench. She cleans the inside of the arm where it attaches to her body and applies a light coating of lubrication to it. She cleans the shaft it attaches to and applies the same lubricant.

After lubricating her arm and the shaft, she pops the battery pack out and places the fully charged one into its place. Why she ever agreed to let Mr. Wright replace her ruined right arm with this artificial one, she’ll never know. She sure as hell didn’t agree to let him change her body. He had remade her over to look like his wife.

She had discovered that when she woke up a week later in the private hospital she had gone too. The medical team that worked for Mr. Wright had put her out, so they could reinforce her shoulder area to support her new arm. It wasn’t until she woke up, that she discovered what he actually did to her. Not only did he make it so, her body could support the new arm. He redid her whole entire body to look identical to his wife. She was a splitting image of his wife. Every detail about his wife had been replicated on her. The only difference was her right arm. That could be explained why she had her natural arm removed and replace with an artificial one.

When she asked why he had changed her. He just smiled at her and told her that he needed a replacement sex slave. He broke his wife and needed someone to replace her. Since she looked like his wife. He decided to remake her over in her image. That’s was the second reason he offered to replace her ruined arm.

She finishes with her arm and pops it back on to the shaft. She presses the power button and tests her arm. She had to reinitialize the neural connection between her arm and nerves. She grits her teeth when it finally links. It hurt every time she had to replace the battery.

Once she is done with her arm. Lucy heads into the makeshift kitchen and makes herself a cup of coffee. The gorillas that normally watched her were still asleep. If she tried running from them, they could electrocute her with a remote they carried. Simon had built into her arm a way to control her and to have fun as well. He could send a signal out to her artificial arm to shock her. Since her arm was connected to her body, he could intensify the strength of the electrical shock and kill her.

Once her coffee was brewed. She grabs a package of pop tarts from an opened box and sits down to eat. She still had a lot of work to do to get the Apache finished. Then she needed to get started on the CH-53E Super Stallion they stole from the airplane graveyard, along with the
Apache that had been there.

She will be happy when the crew Simon said would be coming to help her, arrive. She couldn’t do all the work herself. She walks over to all the items they had stolen from Aero Flight Industries and the airplane graveyard. They needed these supplies for the Apache and for the Super Stallion.

After completing the inventory of what she still needed. She sends it off to the contact Mr. Wright had given her. She was glad that he wasn’t here right now. He would have her naked and on her knees servicing him. After she finishes her breakfast, she goes back to work getting the Apache up and running.

Aero Flight Industries, Coconino County, Arizona:
Cora yawns as she follows the directions from her Garmin. She had taken the Chev Camaro she appropriated from the first case she did. She pulls up to the security gate “Hi, I hear to see Murray Webber.”

“You’re name, ma’am?” Lucas looks at the Native American woman sitting in a suped-up Chev Camaro.

“Cora Black with Black Feather Investigations.”

Lucas checks his list of people coming in and noticed that Mrs. Black’s name had been added early in the morning. He grabs a visitor pass “ I’ll need for you to sign for this pass, ma’am and when you leave I’ll need for you to return it.”

“That’s fine.”

Lucas hands the clipboard to her to sign for the pass. Once Cora was finished signing for the pass. He hands her the pass.

“Mr. Webber office is in building 4A. You can’t miss it, Mrs. Black.”

“Thanks, Officer Lucas.” Cora goes through the gate and heads over towards a bunch of building.

The building Cora was looking for turned out to be an all-glass building. It was ten stories tall and faced the airfield. There were already several military-style hummers parked in front of the building, along with two security SUV’s. She parks her Camaro in the space next to one of the security SUV's. She picks up her purse and heads towards the entrance of the building.

As she walks in, she heads directly towards the elevators. She had been given Mr. Webber’s office and what floor it was on. When she arrives at the floor, there were guards on the floor. One of them stop her “ who are you ma’am and why are you here?”

“I’m here to see Mr. Webber and my name is Cora Black with Black Feather Investigations.”

“Let her in, Mr. Smith. She’s Katey’s friend.” Murray had been informed by the front gate that Ms. Black was heading to see him.

Cora looks at the person that just spoke. He was an older gentleman dressed in a business suit. He holds his hand out to Cora “Hi, I’m Murry Webber.”

“Cora Black.” She shakes his hand.

“Let’s head into my office, Mrs. Black.”

“Actually, Mr. Webber, you might want to get a security team and start checking one of your building for a break-in.”

“Why do you say that?” Murry looked confused.

“Because of this.” Cora grabs the blueprints and employee badge out of her purse and hands them to Mr. Webber.

Murray accepts them and starts looking through them. He recognized the building on the blueprint “Smith, take a team over to building WA4, while I inform the mountain.”

“Yes, sir.” Smith grabs a group of people and heads out of the office.

Mr. Webber looks at Cora “where did you find these?”

“Out on the reservation in a shot-up Rv. There were with several other dead bodies as well. I found your man bound and gag. He looked to been killed execution-style.” Cora shows him the pictures she took of the area.

“Damn! He was one of our best engineers.” Murray was lucky Fin Lance wasn’t on Project Night Bird team, or whoever kidnapped him would have either have possession of it or knowledge of it.

There’s a knock on Murray Webber’s office door.

“Enter!”

Anne stick her head into his office “sorry for bothering and interrupting you sir, but Mrs. Blake and Captain Burns are on their way here.”

“Thank you, Anne.”

Anne closes the office door and goes back to her station. Murray turns his attention back to Cora “Would you mind informing our investigation
team about how you came across your information?”

“I don’t mind, Mr. Webber. Maybe I can help” Cora wouldn’t mind lending her unique abilities to the investigation.

“That’s up to Captain Burns. However, I know your reputation from your friend Katey.” Murray heard stories that Katey told about Mrs. Black.

Cora walks around the building that had been broken into. She notices all the cameras that monitor the building had been blackened out. She figures someone used a paintball to take them out. She spots the casing of the paintball they used.

Cora picks it up with gloved hands and put it in an evidence bag Captain Burns gave her. She walks around the building looking for more paintball casings. Once she was done walking around the building and stops at the entrance to the place. Mrs. Blake and Captain Burns didn’t mind her helping, but she wasn’t permitted inside the building that had been accessed.

According to what they could tell her. A lot of advance aviation equipment and experimental weapons had been stored in that building. They were going to have to go through their inventory and check what had been taken.

While she stood outside, waiting for Burns and Blake, she pulls the pictures she found at the crime scene out and look at them. The one that looked like a parking lot for airplanes puzzled her. Cora walks up to the guard, guarding the entrance to the building she wasn’t permitted in and holds up the picture she held “can you tell me what this is?”

Allen looks at the picture and tries to remember where he had seen that image before. He couldn’t recall where he has seen it before.

“Let me see it, Mrs. Black.” Harold reaches his hand out for it.

Cora hands him the picture.

Harold accepts it and looks at the picture. After a few minutes of staring at it, “this is Davis–Monthan Air Force Base.”

Cora looks at Harold with a puzzled look. She has never, ever heard of the place.

“In English, please?”

“It’s where the military store all their out of date or excess aircraft at.” Sam comes walking out of the building.

“Ah, well, the same people who hit here, might have hit this place as well.”

Harold hands the picture to Sammy. Sammy accepts it and looks over it. She has been to the aircraft graveyard a few times to get parts for some for the projects they worked on at Aerotech.

“Where did you find this picture?” Sammy looks at Cora.

“The same place I found your dead engineer. Do you think that place has something to do with your missing equipment?”

“That depends what they took from this place. We need to get in contact with them and check it out.” Sammy figures most of the equipment and some of their experimental weapons that were missing. If they knew what they were doing could be mounted on some of the aircraft from the graveyard. The thing is, who stole their equipment and why?

“Where’s this graveyard located?” Cora figures she needed to go there and investigate as well.

“Tucson, Arizona.”

“Do you mind if I tag along?” If they did mind, she’ll just wait till night time and go herself.

“You’re welcome to join me.”

“I’m coming along as well.” Captain Burns caught the last part of the conversation.

“That’s fine.”

They head towards the helicopter Samantha and Captain Burns came in. Cora sits and watches as they take off and head towards the aircraft boneyard.

Private Airfield Out in The Desert, Arizona:
Lucy sits on the floor of the shower with her arms wrapped around her legs. The water was hiding the tears coming from her eyes. Every part of her body hurt from the abuse she just received from the new group of guys that had arrived to help her with the helicopter job.

Mr. Wright had given all six guys permission to use her any way they liked, but they couldn’t seriously hurt her. The message she was given before they had their fun with her. She was to be reminded of her place.

Her throat was sore, and her neck was bruised from two of the guys choking her until she blacked out. She slowly stands up and winces as pain flares from between her legs and her ass.

“Hurry up, bitch. You got work out here to do unless you enjoyed what we did to you.” Ted enjoyed choking Lucy and making her pass out.

He has other things he wants to do to her, later when they are done working. Mr. Wright said that once Lucy was done with the work to the helicopters. He and the guys can do whatever they want to her. Once they were done having their way with her. They could either kill her or sell her off to the Taliban or Isis since they were looking for war brides. The one thing he wants back is her artificial arm. It is worth a lot of money and can be traced back to him and his company.

Lucy finishes her shower and when she went to put on her coveralls. They were missing, in its place was a black latex catsuit and seven-inch ballet boots. There was no way she could do her work in those ridiculous shoes.

“Where are my clothes and work boots?” Lucy wasn’t going to wear those clothes.

“You have clothes in there. Either put them on or work in the nude. Either way, you will do what your husband wants you to do.” Ted stretches
out the word husband, so she understands who was making her wear the clothes.

“I’m not going to do either, so go and FUCK yourself!” Lucy wasn’t going to wear those ridiculous clothes.

The next thing she knows, she is on the floor screaming from the shock coming from her artificial arm. Her body was jerking, as she pissed
herself. The pain stops after a few minutes as she lays on the floor panting.

“Now, are you going to be a good slut and do as your told or, do I have to increase the energy coming from your arm?”

“Go FUCK yourself, I’m not doing it.”

She starts jerking again as the electricity was intensify. The screams coming from her was filling the bathroom. It stops after ten minutes.

“How about now, bitch? I can keep this up all day and night. Can you?” Ted was enjoying himself.

“Okay, I’ll wear the damn outfit.” Lucy crawls over towards the outfit and shoes. She noticed they didn’t give her any panties to wear as she
starts putting the catsuit on.

“I thought you would see it my way.” An evil smile appears on his face.

Lucy tries to keep from falling as she comes out wearing the latex catsuit and the ridiculous heel boots. She could barely balance herself on the tiny toe and high heel.

“There’s one more thing missing, that you need.” Ted picks up a six-inch-wide black leather collar and slaps it around her neck.

He tightens the collar so tight, that it makes it difficult for her to breath. He slips a bar down behind her neck and seals the collar shut.

“There, that should make it difficult for you to sass back at anyone. Now get to work, you slut.” He shoves her forward and watches as she falls face-first onto the floor.

Lucy tries several times to get up. It takes her four tries before she was able to get up off the floor. She turns around and gives Ted a dirty look.

“Be nice, or I’ll call the guys over and let them have some fun with you. After all, that suit has zippers in the back to fuck you and let you go to the bathroom.”

Lucy was ready to tell him to fuck himself, but she holds her tongue. She’ll make sure he gets his, along with Mr. Wright as well. She stumbles back to where the helicopters were stored and start working on them.

They were going to regret treating her like they were doing now. She was willing to do the work like she promise, but what they were doing to her now, goes to far.

Jessica smacks Katey on her ass as she laid naked in bed. They had gotten back late last night from California and had to get up and head to work this morning. She had woken-up early and took her shower, while Katey slept.

“Come on lazy, time to get up.”

“Owe!” Katey rubs her ass. It smarted where Jessica smacked her.

“You didn’t have to smack my ass.” As Katey sits up off the bed.

She rubs the sleep from her eyelids, before standing up. She looks towards Jessica and pouted.

“You have been spending to much time with your niece.” Jessica walks over and gives Katey a kiss on the lips.

“Fine.”

Katey stumbles into the bathroom. She takes a shower instead of a bath. She spends a few minutes in the shower, before getting out and drying off. While she is drying off, Jessica comes into the bathroom, in her bra and panties.

Katey notices Jessica was wearing a pair of her personal favorite panties. She walks up behind Jessica before she starts brushing her teeth.

“You're wearing one of my favorite pair of panties.”

A smile appears on Jessica’s face “I know and they feel comfortable. You have good taste in panties.”

Katey just shakes her head and head into the bedroom to start getting dress. She notices Jessica had laid out her new bra for Katey to wear.
She loved it when Jessica wore it because it gave her a good cleavage. She just smirks as she slips it on and adjusts the straps and cups to fit her body.

Katey gets fully dress, while Jessica brushes her teeth and finish up her morning routine. Katey walks into the bathroom when Jessica is done and does the same thing.

“Do you want to make coffee before we leave or pick some up on the way?” Jessica finishes braiding her hair.

“We’ll pick up a cup on the way to work.” Katey grabs the keys to her Jeep.

Thirty minutes later, Katey pulls up to the security gate and is searched. The two of them couldn’t believe how security has tightened up since they were gone. Every inch of the jeep was searched.

“Come on guys, it's not like I have anything to hide.” Katey glances at her watch and notices they were going to be late.

“Sorry, Katey. Since the break-in, we have to search everything.”

“Okay.”

Once security was done searching Katey’s Jeep. Her and Jessica rush to the locker room and changes into their flight suits. They had to hurry because they were taking Night Bird out today and testing him against three of the new Apaches.

“Hopefully, they have Night Bird out and ready to go.” Katey was running towards Night Birds hangar.

Jessica was hot on her heels as well. She knew that if they were late, it was a fifty dollar fine.

“It’s about time, you two showed up.”

“Sorry, security went over everything in my Jeep.” Katey noticed they made the modification for the footsteps for them.

“Well, hurry up and get into the air. You’re needed down at the test range.” Murray was glad Katey and Jessica were back from their time off.

Katey checks Night Birds system, while Jessica gets settled in. Jessica starts the rotor and checking her system. Jessica waves to Murray to stand back as they start lifting up in the air.

Katey heads towards the testing grounds and lands. She and Jessica noticed that three brand new Apache helicopters were already there and waiting for them. She spots one of the pilots and knew who he was.

“Damn, he had to be here.” Katey hated the person she spotted.

“Who are you talking about, Jessica?”

“Devil’s Son over there. He’s a prick and not to be trusted. He’s more reckless than me.” Katey thinks back to when the two of them served
together. The man was dangerous and unpredictable.

Jessica wonders what the short black hair fellow did to Katey. She is normally a laid back person. They climbed out of Night Bird and walk over towards the person in charge of the operations. Katey ignores Terry Nelson as he stands close to her.

The guy in charge gives them the rules and conditions they had to follow. Just as Katey is walking back to Night Bird “are you ready to get your ass beat again?”

Katey stops and turns around to face Terry “are you ready to go down in flames?”

“Try it, Katey. Women don’t belong flying helicopters.”

“You know, I have to agree with you. Some women don’t belong in the air. So, why don’t you sit this one out, like a good little girl.”

Jessica couldn’t help but laugh as they walk towards Night Bird. She heard the guys behind her giving Terry a hard time. She saw a smile appear on Katey’s face.

“Let’s go and have some fun.”

Once Katey and Jessica were given the okay, they took off. Right away, they were getting a missile lock on them. Jessica aimed the rail gun at the helicopter that had a lock on them and simulated an attack on them.

“One down, two to go.” Jessica’s attack computer showed the other helicopter taken down.

“Damn! How did you do that?” The pilots of the other Apache couldn’t believe they were taken out so fast.

“That’s our secret.”

The alarms go off inside the cockpit. More missiles were coming in. The rail gun spins around to fire backward and takes all the missiles out coming towards them.

“Let’s have some fun.” Katey starts climbing in altitude as the other Apache tries to get a lock on her.

It was trying to match her speed, but the Night Bird was faster and could climb higher than the Apache. She spins around and fires two of her missiles at the Apache.

“Score!” Jessica screams through the headset.

“We’re not done yet.” Katey was looking for the Devil’s Son.

“Still, two down and one to go.” Jessica was happy.

The alarm starts going off again. The person was directly behind them and was trying to get their weapons to lock on them.

“Time to have some fun.” Katey dives down to the deck and flies low to the ground

“They are still with us, Katey.” Jessica could see them with their rearview cameras. She could even see who the pilot and co-pilot was as well.

“Katey, I’m getting multiple weapon locks on us.”

Katey wasn’t playing any attention to Jessica. She knew what Devil’s Son was doing. She spots what she was looking for.

“Jessica, switch to stealth mode on the count of three.”

“Gotcha, Katey.”

"1, 2, 3!” Katey climbs fast before she hits a cliff.

Devil’s Son pops up out of the canyon they had been in, ready to fire at Night Bird. He looks around but doesn’t see them anywhere.

“Where the fuck, did they go?”

“I don’t know, but I have multiple weapon locks on us coming from the rear of us.”

“Bang! You’re dead.” Jessica drops the stealth.

They were directly behind Devil’s Son and every weapon they had was aimed at them. There was no way they could avoid all their weapons.

“Son of a Bitch! How did they do that?” Devil’s Son was stump on how Katey managed to get the drop on him.

“Go home, little boys. You’re all dead.”

Katey flies past them and heads back to the operation center.

Katey and Jessica were sound asleep in bed when Katey’s cellphone starts ringing. She moans as she fumbles around on her nightstand for her cellphone. She finally finds it and pulls it down towards her.

“Hello?”

“Katey, we need for you and Jessica to get to the airfield as fast as you can. We have an emergency on our hands.”

Katey sits up in bed and shakes Jessica “okay, we're on our way.”

Jessica wakes up when she was shaken by Katey. She looks over towards Katey “why did you wake me up?”

“The airfield just called and we are needed down at the airfield as quickly as possible.” Katey was already getting out of bed and getting dressed.

Jessica follows as well. She wonders why the airfield would call them early in the morning. She looks at her cellphone and notices it was 0100 hrs.

Katey and Jessica leave the house and head towards the airfield. Katey has never seen the airfield all lit up like it was or the passenger planes on the tarmac. She pulls up to the security gate “Why are there passenger planes here at the airfield?”

“Flagstaff Airport and Flagstaff City were hit by an EMP attack. The city is dead and any planes heading towards the airport are being diverted to our airfield.” Sergeant Stinehill was told to hurry Katey through the gate.

“Damn! I wonder who pulled this attack off?”

“No one knows, but you better hurry over to Night Bird and get airborne.”

Katey goes through the gate and drives as fast as she can over to the hangar. She notices that the ground crew already has Night Bird out and ready to go.

“Your flight suits are over here, Katey and Jessica.” Chief Jerod had gotten them and brought them out to the hangar.

“Thanks. What the hell is going on?” Katey slips her tennis shoes off and her flight suit on. She also puts her combat boots on as well.

“Flagstaff was attacked and you're to provide protection until the army joins us. We already have our staff from here there and the mountain
complex has sent people as well.”

“Alright, we're on our way.” Katey gets into Night Bird, followed by Jessica.

They take off immediately and head towards Flagstaff. Both women were curious about who was responsible for blacking out Flagstaff and the airport as well. The radar in Night Bird was picking up all of Aero Flight Industries aircraft in the area. That included their ground vehicles as well.

“Man, I have never seen a city or airport so dark before.” Jessica was watching her monitor for any signs of trouble.

“I know what you mean. Who has the ability to build an EMP device that is capable of blacking out an entire city and airport?” Katey heard that
DARPA was working on missiles and artillery capable of delivering EMP devices to cities.

The thing was, where did this EMP come from and who set it off? As well for what reason? Katey challenges any aircraft that weren’t either military or from AFI. If they were law enforcement, they were directed to the US Marshal’s temporary headquarters set-up.

By sunrise, they had managed to get some of the systems working at the airport. They had to bring in generators to run the place. The back-ups they had weren’t working.

AFI brought in several trucks loaded down with huge generators to plug into the electrical system. Jessica covers up a yawn as they did another fly over the city and the airport.

“I could go for a fresh cup of coffee.” They have been flying for the past six hours.

“How’s our energy cells?” Katey was curious, because unlike the other helicopters in the air. They had to land to refuel. The energy cells they used, gave them a longer flight time. Jessica does a system check “we still have enough hydrogen fuel, left to stay in the air for another six
hours. That’s if we don’t use any of our weapons or stealth technology.”

Around 0800 hrs. “AFI flight tower, to Night Bird. AFI flight tower to Night Bird.”

“This is Night Bird flight tower, what’s up?”

“Come on home for a while, Night Bird. We have crews and support staff handling things.”

“Roger, flight tower. Night Bird is on his way home.” Katey sets the course for their airbase.

“Finally, I can get out and pee.” Jessica had to really pee.

By the time Night Bird touched down, Jessica opens the canopy and scrambles down out of the helicopter. She runs as fast as she could towards the restroom in the hangar. Katey shuts Night Birds systems down and climbs out.

“How did he do, Katey?” Curtis comes walking over towards Night Bird, with some fresh fuel cells for him.

“He did fine, Curtis.

“Good, we were a little worried, because he hasn’t been in the air as long as he was.”

“Speaking of which, did you guys find out who set off the EMP device and how they constructed it?”

“No and no. They found the truck it had been in, but it was so badly melted, that they couldn’t do anything with it. Mrs. Blake has her scientists
and engineers going over everything. The construction teams and electrical engineers are trying to get power back to the city.”

Katey just shakes her head. She turns to walk away “You and Jessica need to stay here at the base. Some cots have been set-up for you and Jessica in conference room 2B.”

“Alright, thanks.” Katey starts walking towards the main building for special projects.

Jessica catches up with Katey “Hey, one of the techs said they have a breakfast buffet set-up for everyone in the main break room.”

“Okay.” Katey follows Jessica to the break room.

They had a breakfast buffet set-up for everyone. Jessica and Katey grab a plate and a fresh cup of coffee. They walk over towards a table and sit down.

Earlier the Previous Day:
Lucy holds back the pain she was feeling as the spiked dildo dug into her artificial vagina. All the men that were at the hangar had used her before they shoved it up inside her and made her wear it. She was forced to work on a prototype EMP device that had been stolen from DARPA. They hadn’t managed to get it to work. She was told, to get it to work or tonight would be her last night.

It took her a while to figure out what was wrong with it and to make it work. Lucy finally got it to do what they wanted to do. It was a simple fix, but you had to dig around inside the unit to rearrange the arming circuits and connections. She had made a blueprint of the device because she knew Ted would want her to. She encrypted the blueprints, so she was the only one who could unlock it.

She’ll get her revenge on them when the timing is right. She looks at the device and wishes she hadn’t gotten it to work.

“Here’s your damn device. What are you going to do with it?”

“What do you think we are going to do with it? We’re going to test it out, bitch.” Ted backhands Lucy hard across the mouth.

She falls backward on her ass and screams when the barbs on the dildo push against her vaginal lining. She looks at Ted “I hope you blow yourself up!”

"I'll have to teach you some manners when I get back." An evil smiles appears on his face.

Lucy pales, because she knew what he was going to do to her. He has already made her ride the bar and shocked her. He enjoyed watching her shake from the electricity passing through her body.

He looks towards one of the other men standing around “put the bitch back in her cage for now.”

Ted walks out with the device and helps load it into the van they were using. Once it was loaded, he and another fellow named Simkin’s leave the hangar and head towards Flagstaff

Davis–Monthan Air Force Base, before the events at Flagstaff:
Cora, Captain Burns, and Samantha arrived at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base late in the afternoon. There were military police there investigating what had happened to the men. When the morning shift came in to relieve the third shift, they found them passed out in a hangar and out in the field.

Samantha and Captain Burns were talking to the military investigator in charge of the investigation. Captain Burns had a better rapport with the Military Investigator and MP’s than Samantha did. While he spoke with the investigator, she spoke with the mechanics and personnel, that had been on duty that night.

Cora had to show her private investigator badge to get access to the place. They gave her a hard time accessing the aircraft graveyard until they heard from the US Marshal service. Her name popped up on their system and they called to get her access to the place. She had one of the MP’s take her out to where the people had been found. She examines the area and notices that there were vehicle tracks leading from where the passed out military people had been found.

They belonged to a vehicle with a large wheelbase. Her and the MP followed the tracks to where an Apache helicopter had been stored.
They followed another set of tracks to where a CH-53E Super Stallion had been stored. It had just arrived a few days ago and hadn’t been touched yet. Which meant they could fly it out.

“Why would a bunch of thieves go through the trouble of stealing An Apache helicopter missing most of its parts and a retired super stallion?”
Cora was puzzled as she started following the tracks.

She looks back at the MP that had been assigned to her “go back and tell my companions, I’m going to follow these tracks.”

“Mrs. Black, I can’t allow you to run off on your own.” Corporal Carter watched as Mrs. Black starts following the tracks.

He calls back to the main building and afterward chases after her. He couldn’t believe how fast she was moving. He was surprised how quick for a short petite Native American woman could move. He follows behind her until she stops where a large section of the fence had been removed to allow a wide vehicle to come in.

She follows the tracks out to the roads and kneels down. He observes her pulling something out of a bag that hangs across her body. It looked like she was putting some sort of mask on.

Cora pulls her fox mask out of her bag and put it on. She looks at the road and could tell in which direction it had gone. She pulls the mask off and looks towards Corporal Carter “tell my companions I won’t be returning with them, please.”

“Where are you going?” Corporal Carter was curious.

“I’ll be following some tracks.” Cora starts running down the road following the ghost tracks her mask allowed her to see.

Corporal Carter watches as Mrs. Black ran down the road. He wonders if there really were tracks to follow. He walks over to where she had been and could see some dirt tracks, but they disappeared after a while.

It takes Cora well into the night to follow the tracks her mask had picked up. By the time she gets to her destination, she was tired and thirsty. It was late at night by the time she found the place. It looked to have been some sort of airbase from the remains of several crumbling buildings still standing.

Cora approaches it carefully and scouts around. She saw at least twenty people working on the Apache, putting it back together. There was a woman among them, that looked like she was the chief mechanic.

Cora pulls her camera out of her bag and puts her mask back inside. Her camera had a night vision lens she could take pictures with. Throughout the night, she takes photos of the crew working on the Apache. They get most of the work of the Apache done, before moving onto the Super Stallion.

During her scouting, she spots where they kept their supplies and snag several bottles of water. She kept a handful of beef jerky, dry fruits, and nuts in her pouch on her waist. She pulls her cellphone out to call Captain Burns, but she had no signal.

“I really need to get a satellite phone.” Cora puts her cellphone back into her pouch.

The next few days, she stays and observes what these people were doing. She notices that the female mechanic was dressing differently and was being mistreated by the guys. As she watched the group, the following day. A box truck had arrived and a strange looking device was unloaded from it.

The three helicopters that the group had been working on were done and flew off. She notices the Apache had been fully armed. So, had the other attack helicopter that looked similar to the Apache was armed as well. The bigger one, looked like it had some weapons on it.

“Now, where are you guys going?” Cora looks back towards the hangar the crew had been working out of.

Night of the Attack on Flagstaff:
Cora watches as the box truck drives off and as the female mechanic is thrown inside some sort of dog cage. She continues to watch and take photos. After a while, Cora puts her camera away and puts her mask back on. She was going to break the woman she saw toss into a dog cage out.

Lucy sits in the corner of the cage she had been thrown into. She has kept her end of the bargain and now wonder what they were going to do with her. They didn’t need her help anymore. She reaches into the hole she had made to pull out a wrist band she had designed to jam the signal to the receiver she managed to locate.

Her so-called husband had it implanted inside her body and arm. She managed to find the frequency, without Ted and them knowing. She made it look like she was working on the instruments inside the helicopter and used its equipment to send a signal to her body until she found the right frequency that triggered the shocks.

She used parts from a walkie talkie and one of the other guy's cellphone to build a jammer for herself. It took some creative situations to find time to build the jammer, but she managed. She was just waiting for the right time to make her escape. Ted still held her passport, but she might be able to get the Australian embassy to get her a replacement passport after she informs them about what she has done so far.

Just as Lucy was about to make her move she hears a voice “if you want out of here, stay quiet.”

Cora pulls her lock picks out and unlocks the cage. She looks at the woman “come, with me and move as I move.”

Lucy looks at the fox face woman and wonders who she was and why she was helping her. She follows her movement, after the stupid boots on her feet are removed. The fox looking woman gives her a pair of black moccasins to wear out of her bag hanging on her side. They felt nice on her sore feet.

“Wait here.” Cora runs off into the shadows.

Lucy could hear several muffled sounds and a thud as something hard hit the ground. The fox woman comes walking back to her.

“What were those sounds?”

“Your jailers, I knocked them out and secure them. They should be out for a while. Now, let's get you somewhere safe, so you can tell the
proper authorities what is going on.” Cora guides Lucy away from the hangar while wiping their tracks away.

Ted returns to the hangar and finds the men he left to guard the place, gone. The cage that held Lucy was empty. He pulls his remote out and
presses the button to shock her. Lucy felt a tingling sensation and watched as the led lights on the jammer lit up.

“I can’t believe he is back so soon?”

“You can’t believe who is back so soon?” Cora was curious.

“Ted. He works for my husband and they went to set off an EMP device.”

“Where?” Cora has heard of an EMP device. She always thought they were something out of a James Bond movie or the one that was in the movie Ocean's Eleven.

“Don’t know. They didn’t tell me or mention it around me.”

“Where did those helicopters that you were working on, go?”

“To another hangar, they are keeping them hidden in. That’s all I know. Once I got them operational and loaded up with the specialized weapons they wanted to be mounted on them. They took them to another location, so they can prepare for whatever plans they have for them.”

“Who’s financing these people?”

“My supposed husband is financing this whole operation. Why I have no idea, but he tricked me and remade me over without my consent.” Lucy couldn’t figure out why she was telling this woman about what has happened to her.

It takes them a while to get to a place where Cora’s cellphone had a signal. She pulls it out and dials Murray Webber’s number. She hopes
he can send someone out to her and this woman.

Aero Flight Industries, Coconino County, Arizona:
Murray Webber was busy coordinating all the activities at the Coconino County branch when his cellphone starts ringing. He picks it up and notices Cora Black was calling him. He had been informed by Samantha, that she had run off to chase after some tire tracks. The tracks she had followed lead to a highway, but when they went to look for her, they couldn’t find her. Now all of sudden he hears from her.

“Where are you?”

“Down at a Circle K on State route 89.”

Murray Webber brings her location up on the computer “alright, I’ll get a helicopter over to you as quickly as possible.”

“Thanks.” Cora ends the call and waits for the helicopter.

Cora spots Lucy eating a microwaved hamburger. They had to move fast and quickly, so they hadn’t stopped to eat anything. The news about Flagstaff being attacked had hit the news. It was on every channel. She noticed how the attack affected Lucy. Lucy told her that she was the one responsible for getting it to work. She had no idea they were going to use it. All she knew, they were going to test it.

She had rigged it with four pieces of flare to melt the frame after the EMP went off. That way Ted couldn’t use it again. The thing was, she was hoping it would catch Ted as well. She overheard some of the guys talking about what they were going to do to her, once the plan was
completed. She did manage to remove the barbed dildo that had been shoved up inside her body.

Twenty minutes later a black and gold helicopter lands near their location. Inside was a woman with red hair and a gentleman wearing a sheriff's uniform. Cora approaches the helicopter “did AFI send you to us?”

Patricia looks at the woman dressed in a skin-tight black jumpsuit. There was another woman wearing a skintight black leather bodysuit. She had a thick black leather collar going around her neck.

“Yes, Mr. Webber sent me and my husband to pick you up and take you back to AFI.” Patricia had received a phone call from Sam to come to the Mountain.

They needed her help with Flagstaff. Antonio wasn’t going to let her go out without him by her side in the condition she was in. He also figured, that with him being a deputy sheriff would help with any legal problems.

Cora and Lucy climb into the helicopter. Once they were in, Patricia flies them back to AFI in Arizona, instead of the mountain complex. Sam said that law enforcement and the Army Captain in charge of the emergency was going to be there by the time they get back.

Cora noticed that the pilot was pregnant. She wonders why a pregnant woman was flying. She sits back and enjoys the flight back to AFI airfield.

Aero Flight Industries, Coconino County, Arizona:
When they arrived at Aero Flight. Two security personnel met them and escorted Lucy and Cora to a waiting SUV. They were taken to a tan covered tent and escorted inside. There were cots and such set up inside.

Eddie looks at the two women he was instructed to escort here “the director of the company thought you two might be tired. They will want to talk with you later about your involvement in what happened at Flagstaff.”

“No problem. I’ll stay here with her.” Cora figures they would want to talk to Lucy.

“I understand.” Lucy figured she was going to be asked about what Ted did to Flagstaff.

Lucy takes the moccasins off that Cora gave her to wear before she laid down on the cot. She was exhausted and concerned about what they were going to do to her. She figured they would want to know why Ted set off the EMP device in Flagstaff.

Samantha, Patrica, Antonio, and Captain Burns:
Pat and Antonio watched as the two women they were sent to pick-up were escorted away. Antonio looks at his wife “so, what did you get off the woman with the metallic arm?”

“It’s a basic cybernetic device. Nothing special about it, except it, gives her a little bit more strength in that arm. I also uploaded the whole schematic of the arm to Ghost. So, he can show Mrs. Blake. I also deactivated the tracking device that was built into the arm as well. She was wearing some sort of jammer that looked like it was blocking a receiver that had been built into her arm and shoulder support structure.”

“Why was it there?” Antonio was curious.

“To control and inflict pain to her. I would guess that if she refused to do whatever they asked of her, they would use it.” Patricia has heard of some alien races doing that to humans they implanted with cybernetic devices.

Patricia figures Samantha and Captain Burns would want to know about the woman that came back with Cora. Patricia had been given Cora’s name by Mr. Webber before she was sent to pick them up. All she knew about her, was that she was a private investigator that had connections in the US Marshal’s office.

Patricia and Antonio walk from the landing field to the building where Samantha and Mr. Burns were. Patricia wonders how things were going in Flagstaff. The only things that were affected by the emp pulse were anything connected or had power going to it at the time. Some generators and old-style cars hadn’t been affected by the blast.

“Hey Samantha, I got some information for you on the one woman. According to the record search I did of her, her name is Lucy Wright and she is the wife of Simone Wright of Dynamic Cybernetic Research, they are based in Sydney, Austrilia. The thing is, all the images up too recently, doesn’t show Mrs. Wright with a cybernetic arm and nothing in her profile ever suggested she knew anything about EMP or aircraft mechanics. She was more of a socialite and trophy wife.”

Captain Burns had been given some information about Patricia and her unique skills. At first, he didn’t believe it, until he saw her use her ability in front of him.

“How recent would you say, Pat?” Captain Burns was curious.

“I would say within the past month. The last picture I managed to find of her, was at a birthday party she attended a month ago.”

“Where is she now?” Captain Burns wanted to talk with her.

“Her and Mrs. Black are sleeping in the large tent we set up near Building C. There is security personnel posted at it.” Sam had her chief of security come from the mountain to handle security at this base.

1100 Hrs. Interrogation Room 1, Security Building, Coconino County, Arizona:
Lucy sits at the interrogation table. She looks at the older man sitting across from her. He had introduced himself as Captain. Burns, chief investigator for Aero Flight Industries. She knew there were several people on the other side of the two mirror glass watching her.

They had allowed her to switch out the battery pack that powered her bionic arm. One of AFI techs managed to find the device that feed the electrical shock into her body and disabled it, without damaging the function of her bionic arm.

She takes a sip of water from the bottled water they gave her. Captain Burns had the same bottle of water as well.

“So, your true name is Omar Walker and you volunteered to have your ruined right arm, replace with a bionic arm. Is that correct?”

“Yes, Mr. Wright had approached me about doing some work for him. In payment of doing the work for him, he would replace my right arm with a bionic one. He would cover the cost of the operation and the arm.”

“So, you accepted the deal and when you woke-up, he had done more than replaced your arm. He completely remade your body over to look like his wife, because he wanted a new sex slave?”

“Yes, because he said he broke his wife and he needed a new sex slave to replace her. He said since I had a similar bone structure, and with just a few operations I would look like her twin. If I refused, well let's just say I wouldn’t be sitting here right now talking to you.”

“Why didn’t you tell the authorities when you arrived?”

“Would you believe a wild tale I just told you? Also, he sent what he called my baby sitters with me to make sure I lived up to the agreement.
You saw how he made sure I obeyed his orders.” Lucy takes another sip of her water.

“Do you know what he is planning to do with the two helicopters he removed from the graveyard and the parts your gang took form our facilities?”

“No, I have no idea what his plan is. I was never privy to that information. All I was instructed to do was get the three helicopters ready as quickly as possible. Then I find out that after they are ready and I’m no longer needed anymore. I’m to be used any way that pleases them.
That’s why I was wearing that damn leather catsuit and that damn leather collar around my neck.” Lucy was happy when the medical team removed the leather collar that Ted had locked around her neck.

It had been pressing against her throat and made it difficult for her to breath and swallow. Her neck was wrapped with gauze after the medics removed the damn collar. She had a massive bruised that ringed her neck.

“Why did your group steal items from our company and how did you know we had them?” Captain burns have been watching Lucy as she spoke to him.

“We needed the specialized gauges and such for the Tiger chopper and for the apache. As for how we knew you had them. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you have an internal problem. I got the instruments and such from Mr. Wright. The person that stole them from you, was a hired hand.” Lucy only met the delivery driver.

Mr. Burns knew that besides the engineer Mrs. Black found dead. He had figured that there was someone inside the company that gave the thieves the information they needed.

“What can you tell me about the EMP device that was currently used?” Mr. Burns knew several people watching them wanted answers to that.

“Two guys that worked with Ted had brought the device to me and told me to get it working. I have no idea where they stole it from, but I
managed to get it operational and I drew up plans of it, but I didn’t give those plans to Ted. I kept them. I also rigged it to meltdown after it was turned on. I used road flares and rigged them to burn when the pulse went off. If they went off, before the pulse, Ted would know I sabotage the device. The punishment he had planned for me, would have killed me.”

“Did you know that he was planning on using the EMP on Flagstaff and its airport?”

“No, I thought they were just going to use it on AFI or some other business. I didn’t know they were going to use it on a city and its airport.” Tears were leaking from her eyes. “If I had known he was going to do that, I would have done something to make it look like it went off on its own.”

Mr. Burns pulls a handkerchief out of his pocket and hand it to her. He could see that she regretted what had happened.

“Why don’t we take a break for a while.” Mr. Burns turn his recorder off and walk out of the interrogation room.

Lucy is escorted out and allowed to go and use the bathroom and grab some food as well.

Interrogation Room 1, Security Building, Coconino County, Arizona:
Lucy looks at the FBI agents sitting across from her. Yesterday it had been Captain Burns with Aero Flight Industries interrogating her and now the FBI wanted to question her. Originally, they wanted to take her down to the nearest federal building to question her, but Mrs. Blake wouldn’t have it.

She pulled some favors and informed the FBI that she wasn’t leaving Aero Flight property. If they had a problem with it, she would more then happily introduce them to the jail cells inside her mountain complex.

Cora and a forensics team went back to the place where she found Lucy. They were going over the place with a fine-tooth comb. Mrs. Blake was hoping they would find some evidence of what the plan was and what Ted and his crew were going to do next.

FBI agent Joe Purvis looks at the young woman sitting across from him. His bosses didn’t like the fact that Mrs. Blake wasn’t allowing Lucy Wright (aka Omar Walker) to be taken to any Federal building or government base. The request had gone all the way up to the Attorney General and was squashed.

All the plastic surgery that had been done to Lucy had been confirmed by Mrs. Blake herself and by her daughter as well. They managed to deconstruct what Lucy looked like before the surgery had been done to her. They ran that image through every computer database, and it was confirmed that Omar Walker had been killed in a car accident. Unfortunately, the supposed body had been cremated.

“Agent Purvis, I have no idea what the plan is or what Ted and his team are planning. Like I told Captain Burns yesterday, I was hired/forced to rebuild and prep the helicopters for some job. The Sea Stallion, they wanted me to rig it so it could carry something extremely heavy.”

“Did they tell you how much weight they wanted you to prep it for?” Agent Purvis watches Lucy’s eyes.

“At least 25,000 lbs. and they wanted me to change out their weapon systems with some sonic based weapons from DRAPA. As for the
Apache and Eurocopter Tiger. I installed some new missiles I’ve never seen and changed out their main nose guns. All three helicopters are EMP protected, so if your planning on using an EMP device on them, it won’t work.” Lucy did manage to install a remote kill switch to shut down the helicopters.

Ted and the people working with her, didn’t know about it. All she needed to do is send the coded signal and the helicopters will start dropping out of the sky. She had to be careful about it when she installed the kill switch. She disguised the device as part of the electronics.

“What type of missiles and weapons did you install?”

“I don’t know. All I do know is the missiles came from some Chinese company. I couldn’t read the language, but I recognized the writing. The sonic weapon, came from DRAPA and the other stuff came from some American company, called Emech Technologies.”

“Do you know what happened to the real Lucy Wright?”

“Your guess is as good as mine. All I know, I was remade over to look like her. I’ve already covered all this.” Lucy was getting tired of repeating herself.

Night Bird:
Katey and Jessica were out scouting the area near where Cora found Lucy. They had escorted the forensics team out to the location. Their job, while the forensics was working, was do an aerial search for possible sites the three other helicopters could be hiding.

“Do you think we're going to find them, Katey?” Jessica was watching her instruments as they flew over a possible area.

“I don’t know. If these guys are as good as Lucy said they are. Then I would say no.” Katey was flying a grid pattern to locate the place.

“What do you think their game plan is?” Jessica was watching her instruments and cameras.

“That’s the puzzle. Why would they need three helicopters?” Katey has been trying to figure out what their game plan was.

“Is Samantha seeing who is selling a large amount of aviation fuel?” Jessica figures they would need it to fuel three helicopters.

“Actually, Captain Burns is on it.” Katey ran into Captain Burns yesterday afternoon.

She was curious and wanted to know if he had any leads. She knew if she wanted to keep the cost of aviation fuel or hide it. She would either own a bunch of helicopters to hide the purchase of the fuel or own an aviation fuel company.

“I heard they managed to get the electrical grid back to running.”

“That’s what I heard as well. They brought in several teams from other states and had the Army Corps of Engineers out helping as well. That’s not counting the engineers Aero Flight sent to help.”

“I’m not seeing anything that’s big enough to store three helicopters.” Jessica wonders where the helicopters could be hiding.

“Okay, this grid is completed. Let’s head back to base then.” Katey heads back towards Aero Flight.

Warning alarms start going off as Night Bird picks up three drones coming towards them. Jessica activates the weapon systems and prepares to lock onto them.

“Where the hell did those come from?” Jessica hadn’t detected them, till they were heading back towards base.

“I don’t know, but let’s see how good they are.” Jessica arms the missiles and locks onto the drones.

Two of the drones split off from the third one. The third one fires its missiles towards Night Bird. The rail gun spins around and fires backward towards each missile.

“We got incoming.” Jessica notices one of the drones coming towards them.

The railgun swings back around and targets the drone. It explodes as the fleches destroy the drone. The drone behind them fires at them.
Katey dodges out of the way and fires two missiles at it. The drone tries to destroy the missiles, but they hit the drone.

“Where’s that last drone?” Jessica was looking for it.

“It’s behind us.” Jessica spotted it on their radar.

The drone had circled around and was coming in from behind Night Bird from a different angle. Katey loops night bird so she ends up behind the drone “Jessica, power the lasers.”

“Okay.” Jessica powers the lasers.

The drone tries to lose Night Bird, but Katey stays with the drone. The targeting computer locks on the drone “say goodnight, Gracie.” As Katey fires the lasers.

The drone explodes as Night Bird's lasers destroy the drone. Katey was looking for any more attackers.

“Are you picking up anything, Jessica?” The last thing Katey wanted was more surprises.

“No, but I want to know where those drones came from.” Jessica was reviewing the instrument information Night Bird records to see where
those drones came from.

According to what she was seeing, they had been hugging the deck and popped up behind them. She wonders where they launched from and who was controlling them.

“I’ve never seen this style of the drone before.” Jessica had a picture of the drone up on her screen.

“It might be a custom job. We need to ask Mrs. Wright if she knows anything about it” Katey lands Night Bird near his hangar.

“I’m saving a copy of the combat, so I can look over it.” Jessica plugs in a special thumb drive to save the record of the combat to it.

Aero Flight Industries, Mountain complex:
Samantha looks at the wreckage they brought in from Night Bird shooting down the drones. There wasn’t much left of it to work with. She looks across towards Patricia “do you think you can work with this mess?”

Pat takes a deep breath “there’s not much here to work with, but I’ll see what my ability will do.”

Patricia looks through the wreckage for anything that was electronic. Normally, her ability only allowed here to control items that were powered, but she has used her ability in the past to find out about an object.

She spots what looks like the main navigation computer and sends her power into it. It comes to life under her touch and she can determine where the drones launched from. She transmits the information to Ghost who can plot the location.

Samantha notices that Patricia was able to get the location where the drone took off from. She picks up her communicator and has the communication department put her in touch with Murray Webber at their Coconino County, Arizona branch.

Aero Flight Industries, Mr. Webber’s office, Coconino County, Arizona:
Mr. Webber was looking over a bunch of reports that have been flooding his office, since the EMP attack., when his office phone starts ringing. He wonders what it could be this time.

“Hello”

“Mr. Webber, this is Samantha Blake, from research. I’m sending you some coordinates right now to your communicator. Send your forensics team and Mrs. Black out to that location.”

“Alright, is that where the drones came from, that attacked Night Bird?” Webber brings the location up on google map and notices it was an abandon car dealership.

“Yes, go ahead and send your team over to there.” Samantha figures they should be able to find something.

“Alright, I’ll send them out there right away.” Webber ends the call and calls Katey.

Conference Room 2B:
Katey and Jessica were still using the conference room as sleeping quarters. Until the city was back to normal operations, Aero Flight wanted to keep them on base. Katey was catching a cat nap, while Jessica was getting something to eat. They pulled an all-nighter, trying to locate the other three helicopters that Lucy has been telling them about.

Her cellphone starts ringing. She reaches out to smack it but misses. She looks through blurry eyes where her cellphone was lying next to her. She presses the accept button “this better be important.”

“It is Katey. I need for you to fly a forensics team and your friend out to an abandon car lot.”

“An abandon park lot? Why?” Katey sits up on her makeshift bed.

“Samantha said that it is the possible launch site for the drones that attacked you. I’m sending you the coordinates she gave me.”
Katey watches as the coordinates appear in a text. Their flight path did take them over that location.

“I got them. Do you want me to take Mrs. Wright with us?”

“No, she’s still restricted to base. Just be careful while you're out there. I’ll have a helicopter waiting for you.”

“Alright, thanks.” Katey ends the call.

She shoots a text to Jessica, informing her what she will be doing. She recommends that Jessica have Night Bird on standby just in case they run into any problems.

Aero Flight Cafeteria:
Jessica, Cora, and Lucy were in the cafeteria getting some food. They were sitting down at a table about to enjoy their meal when Cora gets a text. It was from Mr. Webber, telling her that she needs to be helo pad 3. She was being sent out to investigate an area.

“Damn! I just got my food.” Cora looks at the hamburger on her plate.

Just as Jessica was about to say something, she receives a text from Katey. She reads it and looks up at Cora “It looks like I’m on standby.”

Lucy looks at both women “why are you on standby and why are you heading out?”

“Because we have a location of where those drones might have come from.” Cora grabs her burger and takes it with her.

Lucy watches as Cora walks off. She didn’t know anything about any drones. She turns her attention back to Jessica.

“I’m on standby, just in case things go south with Cora and her group.” Jessica hopes things don’t go bad because then she would have to fly Night Bird by herself.

Helicopter Pad 3:
Katey walks out to the helicopter pad and spots a black and gold AgustaWestland AW109 helicopter waiting for her. She also saw that the ground crew was prepping it for her.

“How’s it going, Stanley?” Katey looks over towards a tall well-built, bald-headed African American.

“She’s ready for you, Katey. You think you can fly her, without all your fancy toys that Night Bird is equipped with?” Stanley knew Katey has been spoiled with all the gadgets Night Bird has.

“Yes, I can fly this copter, without all the goodies Night Bird has.” Katey enjoyed flying Night Bird.

“Well, good luck.”

“Thanks.” Katey gets into the copter.

Cora notices that the copter they were taking was ready to take off. She saw the forensics team loading their gear into the copter. She also notices her friend Katey in the cockpit. She walks up to the copter with a smile on her face.

When she enters the copter, she taps Katey on the shoulder.

Katey feels someone tapping her on her right shoulder. She turns her head and spots Cora smiling at her.

“Cora, what are you doing on this flight?” Katey was surprised to see her.

“Its good to see you again as well, Katey.”

“You know what I mean, Cora.” Katey was happy to see her friend again.

“I’m going to be scouting the area around the car dealership. Captain Burns and Major Kingston wants me to look around.”

“Who’s Major Kingston?” Katey didn’t recognize the name.

“He’s heading the recovery and investigations into what happened. The DoD sent him along with his special unit.” Cora was introduced to him
by one of the US Marshals she works with.

“What type of special unit?” That piqued Katey’s curiosity.

“Let’s just say, you don’t want to mess with these guys. There’s more going on here than what we were told.” Cora was suspicious about why Major Kingston had shown up.

“I’ll find out more. Let’s go ahead and investigate this car lot.” Cora sits back in her seat.

Katey takes off and heads towards the abandon car lot. Her co-pilot was one of the forensics specialists that was being sent out. She was letting him do most of the flying.

Thirty minutes later they arrive at the spot. Katey could already tell that a path had been made for vehicles to come and go.

“Well, that answers one question.” Katey takes control and lands in an area that looked like it had been prepared for a helicopter to land.

“Alright, everyone departing, go ahead and unload your equipment.” Katey was told to stick around.

“See you guys later.” Cora hops out and places her fox mask on. She starts looking around for tracks.

She finds some tracks and starts following them. They were tire tracks and look like they belonged to a pick-up truck or cargo van. There were at least six different footprints. She follows the tracks around the place.

Cora wipes the sweat from her forehead as she blends in with the trees surrounding a huge property. She was glad there was a forest on the edge of the property the tracks and spirits lead her too. There was too much land cleared between the forest and where the main house was built. She’ll have to wait till it gets dark before she could move any further on the property. She spotted several hidden cameras watching the property.

Her sensitive ears pick up the sounds of someone coming towards her location. She looks for a tall tree and starts climbing up it. She climbs up as high as she can and blend in with the limb she is on. She watches as two men wearing camouflage clothing and carrying what looked like AR15’s stop right below her.

They look around the area she just vacated. It was a good thing she was trained by some of the hunters on the reservation. They taught her how to blend in with her environment and not leave any trace. The ancient Native Americans use to be extremely good at it. Nowadays it was becoming a lost art.

“I swear if this is another wild goose hunt. I’m going to punch, Levie.” Aaron looks at his partner.

“We can’t be too careful, Aaron. There’s a lot riding on this heist. Think about your cut from it.”

“I am thinking about my cut. It’s too bad that bitch ruined that EMP device. It would make the heist easier.”

“True, it would have. However, we can still go along with the original plan.”

The two men continued to look around for a few more minutes, before walking off. Cora watches them, to see if there was a particular path or route they took. However, it didn’t look like there was one. Also, how did someone know she was here? She stays up in the tree and watches the place.

Late in the evening, she spots one of the helicopters they were looking for, landing. She pulls her binoculars out to get a closer look at it. It wasn’t the Apache that had been taken. It looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember what type of helicopter it was.

She watches as the pilot exists from the helicopter. When he removes his helmet, she reaches for her camera as quickly as she can and snaps a few pictures of him. She noticed that he had a unique hairstyle where the sides of his head were shaved almost bald and a short mohawk in the middle of his head.

She watches as the co-pilot gets out of the helicopter. The other person was shorter than the pilot and was female. When the person removes their helmet, they had a messy pixie cut strawberry blonde hair. The ends of the hair cut were frosted. She looked to be European or Russian.

“I wonder who you are and who your pilot friend is?” Cora puts her camera away.

She climbs down out of the tree she was in and look up at the sky. It was a cloudy night, so the clouds were hiding the moon. Her eyes start glowing which allows her to see into the darkness like her namesake. She knew where the cameras were that were watching the property.

She darts across the yard as quickly as she could, while avoiding the cameras. She keeps low to the ground, so if someone does catch her on the camera, she would look like an animal crossing the yard. She makes it to the main house and locates an opening that would allow her to crawl under the house.

She was glad that she was small and slender as she crawls under the house and tries to locate where everyone was inside the house. She hears muffled voices from near the center of the house. She crawls over towards that location and makes a small hole in the insulation. She pulls out a stethoscope she has started carrying. Even with her enhanced hearing, she still couldn’t make out what they were saying. She places the stethoscope against the wood and listens to the conversation.

“So, is everything set for tomorrow?”

“Yes, the transport will be on route 87 tomorrow. My informant down at the Marshal office confirmed the time and route they will be taken.”

“How many escorts?”

“Four escorts with sixteen fully armed guards to protect the transport.”

“That shouldn’t be a problem. We have everything we need to handle them.”

“Don’t get cocky. These are highly trained Marshals guarding that transport. Some of the meanest and nasty ones around. So, you better be on your game tomorrow.” Alex Peresviet looks at the men at the table. He was getting paid good money to support them.

Cora wonders why they were going after transport. What was so special about transport and why so many Marshals were guarding it. She listens for a little while longer and after a while, she here’s them moving around.

Cora wishes she had some sort of tracking device to put on the helicopter. That way Katey or someone from Aero Flight can stop them. She
starts crawling back out from under the house and just as she exists. All the lights around the place come on.

“SHIT!” Cora looks around and noticed she was surrounded by at least six people with guns.

“What do we have here? A person dressed in a costume?”

Cora looks at the person talking to her. She was aware of where the other people were that surrounded her. She slowly takes a deep breath and gets ready to react.

“Now, why don’t you drop to your knees, with your hands behind your back.” A smirk appears on the guy's face.

Cora doesn’t say anything as her eyes flash red. She sweeps her hands outward and four obsidian knives fly from each hand. They hit the targets she was aiming for. She moves quickly as a bullet strikes right where she was standing.

A guy near Cora tries to shoot her, but she knocks his legs out from under him. A guy grabs her from behind in a bear hug and squeezes her. He tightens his grip on her and starts trying to crush her rib cage.

Cora tries flipping the guy squeezing her, but she couldn’t enough leverage to flip him. She couldn’t get either her hands to her belt to pull her knife. Her head snaps back as a fist hit her jaw.

A low growl escapes from her mouth, as she flips her legs up and kicks the guy coming towards her with a knife. She kicks him in the chest and pushes backward. The guy who was squeezing her falls backward, releasing his grip on her.

“Shoot her!” Another guy starts shooting at Cora.

She slips one of her knives into her hand and throws it at the person with the gun. The knife hits the guy squarely in the chest. She backs up and notices more guys were coming out armed with guns.

“Exit, stage left.” Cora starts running towards the woods.

Bullets start flying by her as the shooters miss her. One bullet hits her in her right leg. The bullet didn’t penetrate her suit but stung like hell.
She ducks into the woods with the guys still firing at her. She runs close to the trees, using them to protect her. She manages to get far enough ahead of them and jump up into a nearby tree.

The men run right beneath her as she stands on the top tree branch. She watches and waits as they continue to search for her. As she is waiting, she hears the helicopter starting up and take to the air.

Instead of heading towards her, it heads in a different direction. She notices it didn’t have any of its running lights on at all. The next few hours, she keeps to the tree and when they finally head back towards the house. She drops down and takes one of the guys out. Whatever he has on him, she removes from his body. She ties him up and gags his mouth.

“Now, you be a good boy and stay silent.” Cora covers the man up and conceals him.

She saw it done in the movie Robin Hood when the Sheriff’s men were knocked unconscious and concealed. She figures she could do it with tree branches and such. By the time they find the missing person, she will be long gone.

Cora heads back to the main road and kept walking until the sun comes up. She stops every so often to take a sip of water from the waterskin she remembered to bring with her. Once she gets close to a gas station or convenience store. She removes her mask and tucks it back into the pouch on her belt.

She calls Aero Flight “this is Private Investigator Cora Black. I need transport back to the base.”

“What is your location, Miss. Black?”

“To be honest, I have no idea. Lock onto my cellphone GPS.” Cora didn’t go inside the store to get her location.

A few seconds go by “we have your location, Miss. Black. A helicopter is on the way to you.”

“Thank you.” Cora heads inside the store and purchases a sandwich and water while she waits.

Lucy looks at all the drawings she did for Captain Burns and Major Kingston. She had been asked by the two of them if she could draw the helicopters she worked on and what she did to them. She was glad she had such a good memory.

“Here’s everything I can recall.” Lucy hands the stack of drawings to both men.

Major Kingston looks at the stack first. He recognizes the helicopters and most of their weapon systems, but some of the things Lucy added he wasn’t familiar with.

“What do you know about the weapons and modifications you did to these helicopters?” Major Kingston looks at Lucy.

“Not much. I worked mostly on installing the control systems and targeting system. The other people helping me installed the weapons and tested them. All I know is that the weapons were brought in and installed.” Lucy wasn’t allowed near them, except to make sure they were mounted properly to the helicopters.

“Do they have any more EMP weapons?” Major Kingston was concerned about that.

“Not that I know of. They were hoping to use the Emp device they used a few more times, but I sabotaged it and I have the only plans to it.”
Lucy made a blueprint of the EMP device.

“Where are those plans?” Major Kingston wanted those blueprints.

“I gave them to Mrs. Blake’s security chief.” Lucy was visited by the head of security.

Major Kingston looks at Captain Burns “I’ll like a copy of those plans.”

“Sorry, that’s not my decision to make. Only Mrs. Blake can make that decision.” Captain Burns knows Mrs. Blake didn’t like to share things with the military.

After several more hours, Lucy is allowed to return to the room she was staying in. According to the reports she got from Captain Burns, her supposed husband and several of his chief engineers have gone missing. Their bank accounts have been depleted and the medical research they had been performing on bionic limbs was missing.

The Australian government was investigating the business to find out what illegal activities Mr. Wright had been doing. She walks over and lay down on the bed. The room didn’t have a bath of its own. So, if she wanted to take a shower or go to the bathroom, she had to use the communal bathroom.

Mrs. Blake’s medical people gave her everything she needed to take care of her bionic arm. She checks the spare battery they gave her and noticed that it was halfway charged. The battery she currently had in her arm was still charged. She figures it would last until around midnight.

She sits down in the recliner that was in her room. She wonders how she managed to be conned into the position she was in. Also, why did Mr. Wright choose her to be his replacement wife?

Several Hours Later:
Cora relaxes as the helicopter she was in lands. She hopes the information she gathered will be helpful. Once the helicopter lands, Cora sprints over towards the building Mr. Webber’s office was. When people glance towards her, all they see is a black blur.

Cora slips her keycard out and slides it through the reader and heads up to Mr. Webber’s office. She looks at her old fashion waist watch. It was made of silver and had black diamonds in the shape of a Fox shaped head.

She found out that a famous Native American artist had made it back in the 1930s. She found it at a local pawn shop. She used some of the money from her first case to buy the watch. She liked it because it was the old fashion style of where you had to whine it up.

Murry Webber’s Office:
Murry covers up a yawn as he looks at all the paperwork on his desk. The past few days have kept him at the office handling the emergency created form the EMP attack. He has gone over Lucy Wright’s statement several times and even had the medical records to back-up what was done to her.

The thing that was bothering him the most, was what was this leading up too? Why knock out the power to a city, if you weren’t going to take anything or do anything? As he picks up his coffee cup, there’s a knock on his office door.

“Enter!”

Cora walks in “I have some interesting information for you and Captain Burns. You might want to call everyone, including Lucy Wright as well.”

“What did you find Mrs. Black?” Murray's curiosity was piqued.

“It’s better I tell everyone at once, instead of repeating myself?” Cora felt that she would do better telling everyone all at once.

“Alright, I’ll gather everyone and meet you in conference room 3.” Murray wants to know what information Mrs. Black has.

“Alright, let me go and get set-up.” Cora turns around and leaves Mr. Webber's office.

Murry sends a text to Jessica, Katey, Captain Burns, Major Kingston, and a few others. He also sends security to bring Lucy up to the conference room.

Lucy’s Quarters:
Sarah couldn’t believe she had been transferred from the mountain complex to Aero Flight Industries, in Coconino County, Arizona. She has only been on the job for a week, since graduating from the academy. She was assigned to watch over Mrs. Wright while she was on the base.
As she is standing outside her quarters, she receives a text from Mr. Webber to bring her to conference room 3.

Sarah knocks on the door “Mrs. Wright, they need you for a meeting.

Lucy opens her eyes when she hears the knocking sound on her door. She glances over towards the clock in her quarters. It was six o’clock in
the morning according to the clock. She couldn’t believe that she managed to sleep as well as she did.

Lucy gets out of bed and walks up to the door and opens it. She spots a young short woman with a brown pixie cut hairstyle, wearing a black security uniform standing in front of her. She hasn’t seen this security personnel before.

“Who are you?” Lucy looks at the young security person standing in front of her.

“I’m security officer Sarah Winters, Mrs. Wright. I’ve been assigned to you.” Sarah was excited about her assignment.

Sarah noticed Mrs. Wright didn’t have her bionic arm attached to her body. She also noticed Mrs. Wright was a good six or seven inches taller than she was.

“How long do I have, before I have to be there?” Lucy wanted to freshen up some.

“I don’t know, ma’am. Let me ask.” Sarah sends a text message back to Mr. Webber.

After a few seconds, she gets a reply. She looks at it “Mr. Webber said we need to be there in twenty minutes.”

“Alright, let me freshen up before we go.” Lucy turns back around and heads back into her quarters.

Cora takes a sip of water; from the water bottle she had requested. All the photos she took and recording of the meeting she had listened in on. She transferred those files to the portable tablet one of Mrs. Blake’s assistants gave her.

She had everything set-up and ready to go in the conference room. She was just waiting for everyone to show up. She stands up out of her seat and stretches some. The bullet that struck her right leg, left a really big bruise. The suit had stopped the bullet, but the kinetic energy passed through to her leg and now it was hurting.

She drunk some tea made from the herbs George had put together for her. They were for the pain she felt after she gets hit by bullets and such. It took the herbs a while to kick in, so until they do. She’ll be feeling the pain.

Some drawings had been brought to her so she could look over them. She compares them to the pictures she took. Cora was rather impressed by how closely one of the drawings matched what she captured. She reaches for her water bottle and takes another sip from it.

The first one to enter the conference room was the woman she helped escape. Lucy comes walking in. She had her bionic arm at this time. Following behind her was Katey and her co-pilot Jessica. Captain Burns, Major Kingston, Mr. Webber, and two US Marshals that just recently joined the team.

Lucy looks towards the young Native American woman that rescued her. She was still dressed in the skin-tight bodysuit like before, but she was missing her mask. She also looked tired. There were bags under her eyes.

“You look tired, Cora.” Lucy sits down at the conference table.

“Just a tad bit.” Cora would have loved a cup of coffee, but the tea she drunk for the pain. It didn’t mix too well with coffee.

Once everyone was seated and comfortable “good morning ladies and gentlemen. For those of you who don’t know me, My name is Cora
Black. I’m a private investigator working for Aero Flight Industries. Yesterday, I managed to follow some tracks from the used car lot I was dropped off at.”

“Excuse me Mrs. Black, but just how were you able to follow and identify those tracks?” Major Kingston was curious about how Mrs. Black was
able to do what she did.

A sly smile forms on Cora’s face “I posse unique abilities that I can’t go into. Let’s just say that if I hadn’t found those tracks, we wouldn’t know about this meeting.”

Cora puts the images of the helicopter she took pictures of on the screen. She shows different close-ups of the helicopter.

“Damn, that helicopter matches the drawing.” Jessica couldn’t believe how detailed the drawing that was pictured next to the image Cora took.

“Katey and Jessica, do you recognize these pilots?” Cora shows the pictures she took of the pilots.

Katey and Jessica look closely at the images “the first one is Alex Peresviet. He’s a hotshot helicopter pilot from Russia. He went freelance
and will work for whoever can meet his price. His Eurocopter has been heavily modified and is as good or better than any of our Apache helicopters. As for the woman with the messy pixie cut strawberry blonde hair with the ends of the hair frosted. She is Gianna Reddick. She is another Russian pilot that went rogue along with Peresviet. Rumor has it, the two of them are lovers. She’s as deadly as Alex is.”

“Have you had a run-in with them before?” Captain Burns looks at Katey.

“Yes, the bastard and his girlfriend came after me when I was over in Pakistan,” Katey remembers the bastard trying to shoot her down. She
tricked the bastard and managed to sneak away.

“Okay, so we know that they are part of their flight support. What else did you find out, Mrs. Black?” Major Kingston was curious about what she found.

“Marshal Quin and Marshal McShane, who are you transporting on route 87 today with sixteen full armed escorts?” Cora looks at both US Marshal’s for answers.

“Were not escorting anyone today on route 87.” Marshal Quin knew no prisoners were being transported.

“Did you say today?” Marshal McShane looks at Cora.

“That’s what the information I have, said. Why?” Cora was curious.

Marshal McShane looks at the time “we need to intercept whatever they are sending to that location right now.”

“We’re on it.” Jessica and Katey get up and rushes out of the conference room.

“Mr. McShane, what are you escorting that needs sixteen fully armed guards?” Major Kingston and Captain Burns were curious.

“They are guarding thirty million in gold.” McShane knew about the transport, because he helped pick some of the nastiest guards for it.

Night Bird Hangar:
“Chief Jordan, bring our baby out.” Katey and Jessica had sprinted down the emergency stairs and ran the distance from the building they were into Night Bird’s hangar.

“Already on it, ladies.” Chief Jordan had received a text from Mr. Webber to prepare Night Bird for launch.

Jessica and Katey run into the pilot's locker room and change out of the clothes they had own and into their flight suits. Once they were changed, they run outside to Night Bird.

“He’s ready to go to war, ladies. Good hunting.” Chief Jordan stands back while Katey and Jessica climb inside the cockpit.

Night Bird was already powered up, so Jessica starts the rotors as she programs the navigation computer and links in with Aero Flight's satellites to locate the transport. She spots two targets inbound towards the transport.

“We need to hurry and get there, Katey. There are two targets bound to that location.” Jessica prepares the weapon systems.

“Alright, hold on.” Katey increases Night Bird's speed as she takes off.

Route 87:
Four black SUV’s and an armored truck drive down route 87. Two SUVs were in front of the armored car and two were behind the armored car. So, far everything has been going fine. Marshal Jung and Marshal King will be glad when the assignment was over. Both Marshal’s were taking time off to recover from all fatigues they have been going after lately.

Marshal King notices they were starting to slow down. King tries to give their SUV’s more gas, but it stalls out. All five cars came to a dead stop on the highway. King tries his door, but it wouldn’t open. All the others in the SUV’s try their doors, but they wouldn’t open as well.

Marshal King and his partner hear the sound of a helicopter. The SUV they are in starts rocking back and forth.

“What the hell is going on?” One of the Marshals in the SUV tries to see what type of helicopter was hovering overhead.

Night Bird:
Katey and Jessica spotted one of the helicopters they were looking for, hovering over the armored car. It was the CH-53E Super Stallion hovering over the armored car. It had cables dangling from it and two guys on top of the armored car.

As they got closer, the proximity alarm started going off. Jessica notices the Eurocopter that incoming.

“Katey, we got incoming.” Jessica notices missiles coming towards them.

Katey breaks off going after the Super Stallion and heads towards the Eurocopter. While she was flying, Jessica fired the railgun at the missiles coming towards them. The targeting computer took out all the missiles coming towards them.

“Jessica, arm the lasers.” Katey dodges as Alex fires his Gatling gun at her.

“Arming lasers.” Jessica powers up the lasers.

The Eurocopter comes around for another attack. Sparks start going off in the cockpit. Jessica starts losing some of the weapon systems as they begin to shutdown.

“Katey we're losing some of our weapon systems.” Jessica couldn’t figure out why they were losing their weapon systems.

“What weapons do we still have?” There was smoke in the cockpit.

Katey evacs the smoke out of the cockpit. She was making Night Bird hard to hit as the Gatling gun from the Eurocopter kept firing at them. She still had their high-resolution cameras and their targeting computer.

“The lasers are out and the railgun is locked in the forward position. We still have missiles.” Jessica wonders what the heck hit them. They were protected from EMP and if it had been EMP, the rest of the copter should have been affected.

“What’s the location of the super stallion?” Katey pulls back on the stick and flips Night Bird behind the Eurocopter.

Jessica locks on with the missiles and fire at the Eurocopter. Just as the missiles were getting close, the missiles drop out of the air. The Eurocopter had pivoted around to faced the missiles.

“What the fuck!” Katey couldn't believe that sparks were dancing on the skin of Night Bird.

“What the hell was that?” Jessica had seen it as well.

“Jess, where is the super stallion?” Katey managed to get behind the Eurocopter. She fires the railgun at the Eurocopter. It may be stuck in the forward position, but it was still operational.

“It.s disappeared. We have lost satellite tracking of it.” Jessica is slammed against the left side of the cockpit, as Katey rolls Night Bird.

Alex fires one of his cluster missiles at the black helicopter that has been avoiding his attacks. Whoever the pilot was in that helicopter, was good. He was also impressed that the new weapons he had used on it, hadn’t disabled it like the others he had an encounter.

The cluster missiles go straight towards Night Bird. It opens up as more missiles launch from it. Katey heads down towards the deck as the missiles follow her.

“Jessica, I could use some help here.” Katey figures they were locking onto their heat signature, which they shouldn’t have a big one.

“Launching countermeasures.” Jessica launches countermeasures to try to discourage the missiles.

Some of the missiles are taken out by the countermeasures. Normally, Katey would use the railgun to take them out, but it was stuck in the forward position. Katey skims the surface and the missiles hit the ground.

“Jessica, give me the location of the Helicopter.” Katey wanted payback.

Jessica tries to get the location of the Eurocopter, but can’t find it. She tries the satellite link-up, but the connection was spotty at best.

“I can’t find him, Katey. He has bugged out of here.” Jessica couldn’t believe she lost contact with the Eurocopter.

“Let’s head back to base.” Katey couldn’t believe she failed to stop the super stallion from getting the armored car.

Chief Jordan watches as Night Bird comes in and lands. The railgun was still lowered and there were shiny spots on the skin of the aircraft. He watches as the cockpit opens and Katey and Jessica climbs down.

“What did you two do to Night Bird?” He walks over to get a closer look at it.

“Nothing, the Euro copter that we fought against hitting us with some sort of weapon that knocked our lasers out, sent sparks inside the cockpit and along the surface of Night Bird. It also knocked out the turret function of the railgun.” Katey was kneeling and examining the railgun turret module tucked up inside Night Bird.

She notices some sort of goo leaking from the module. She locates the harness that plugged into the module “Jessica, pull the fusion cells, so
I can disconnect the wiring harness.”

“I got it, Jessica.” Chief Jordan pulls the power cells that power Night Bird.

“Go ahead and pull the harness, Katey.” Jessica gets the emergency tool kit out for Katey.

Katey disconnects the harness from the module. She uses her finger to determine the size of the screws holding the module inside.

“Jessica, I’ll need a six mm socket.” Katey holds her hand out.

Jessica looks for the socket in the tool kit and hands it to her. She places it and the rachet into Katey’s hand.

“Thanks.” Katey takes the socket and unfastens the small bolts holding the module in.

Katey manages to unbolt the module and pull it out. There was goo leaking out of the module seams.

“What would cause this goo to leak out of the module?” Katey was looking at the module.

“The electronics inside would have to have heated up to extreme temperature.” Chief Jordan was looking at the module.

“What weapon could have caused that much damage?” Jessica was curious.

“I don’t know, but I’m going to find out.” Chief Jordan takes the module.

“Let us know what you find out, Chief.” Katey was curious and wanted to know what took the Night Bird out.

“I will.” Chief Jordan just looks at the module and wonder what could have caused it to heat up like that.

Katey and Jessica catch a ride back to the building where the meeting had been.

Conference Room:
Cora was listening to everyone as they talked among themselves. There was more information that she revealed to them about another attack that might take place. Something had been bothering her about the conversation among the two men that had been looking for her.

Major Kingston had sent an assault team to the house Cora had gone too. They raided the place, but it was mostly empty. They did find some evidence to support Cora's theory that another attack was going to take place.

Lucy was given access to a manifest of weapons from different suppliers and countries. She was going through them to locate the specialized weapons she installed. After what seemed like an hour or more, Katey and Jessica come walking into the conference room. They were still wearing their flight suits.

“How did things go?” Marshal Quin and Marshal McShane look towards Katey and Jessica.

“They got away with the armored truck. They used the Super Stallion to lift the armored car and carried it away.”

“Couldn’t you have stopped them?” Marshal Quin looked a little upset.

“We were busy defending ourselves from the Eurocopter. Its equipped with some sort of weapon that knocked out our lasers, missiles and caused our railgun to lock in the forward position.” Katey still wanted to know what they used on Night Bird to cause that.

“What happened?” Everyone in the room wanted to know.

“When we arrived, the SUV’s that had the extra US Marshals were locked inside their vehicles. We were going to fire at the Super Stallion when the Eurocopter engaged us. While we were occupied, the Super Stallion managed to get away.” Katey wonders how they could lose something so big.

Lucy looks up from the tablet she was looking at “you said that you lost control of your lasers, and your railgun was locked in the forward position?”

“Don’t forget the missiles we launched at them, Katey.” Jessica looks towards Katey.

“Yes, they managed to knock our missiles out of the air, without firing at them or using countermeasures.” Katey was still puzzled by that.

“That sounds like a microwave-based weapon. DARPA has developed several of them that can take missiles down and fry the electronics of an aircraft or vehicle. Even ones that are shielded against EMP.” Lucy remembered reading an article about the new generation of weapons Darpa was developing.

“So, you think we got hit by some sort of microwave-based weapon?” Jessica looks at Lucy with a skeptical look on her face.

“Yes, it makes sense. The only way I can be sure is if I can look at the damage done to your aircraft.” Lucy could tell if what she suspected was true.

“You’ll have to get permission from Samantha Blake. She’s the chief engineer and the only one besides her mother who can authorize people to play with their toys.” Katey was sure they were the only ones.

“They aren’t the only ones. I can give permission as well.” Mr. Webber looks towards both women.

Katey was surprised, but then again, he is the person in charge of the base.

“Mrs. Winters, escort Mrs. Wright down to Night Bird’s hangar.”

“Yes, sir.” Sarah has been quieted the whole time.

“Thank you, Mr. Webber.” Lucy stands up to follow Sarah.

“Don’t thank me yet, Mrs. Wright.” An evil smile appears on Mr. Webber's face.

“Okay.” Lucy gets up and walks over to Sarah.

The two of them head out of the conference room. Once they have left, Cora looks at everyone.

“If you guys don’t mind, I’m going to go and get some rest.” Cora gets up to leave.

“Mrs. Black, we have quarters here you can rest in. Katey and Jessica can show you where it is.” Mr. Webber had arranged for Mrs. Black to stay on base.

“Thank you, Mr. Webber.” Cora walks out of the conference room.

Katey and Jessica follow behind, Cora. Katey was ready to get out of her flight suit.

“Tired, Cora?” Katey knew her friend.

“Yes, I need some meditation time to replenish my energies.” Cora covers up a yawn.

“I know what you mean.” Katey was feeling a little drained.

Jessica grabs Katey’s hand “but I can recharge you.” She squeezes Katey’s hand.

A smirk appears on Cora’s face. She wonders how long it took Katey to seduce Jessica. She can’t blame Katey if she did. Jessica looked to have a nice figure.

“Here are your quarters. If you need anything, let me know.”

“Okay, thanks.” Cora enters her quarters.

“Come on sweetie, let's go and enjoy each other.” Katey kisses Jessica on the lips.

The two of them stumble towards their quarters.

Night Bird Hangar:
Sarah watches as Lucy examines the damage done to Night Bird. Chief Jordan and Lucy went over every system, checking and double-checking them. Lucy’s assessment was correct that it had been a microwave-based weapon that had played havoc with the systems.

“Where did these guys get this type of weapon?” Chief Jordan looks at Lucy for an answer to his question.

“Beats me.” Lucy looks at the damage done to another module.

So, far she and Chief Jordan have pulled six damage modules from the helicopter. Lucy does wonder where her supposed husband and Ted got the weapons. She digs deeper in the helicopter and trace down all the damaged modules and replace them with new ones.

It’s eleven in the evening when she and chief Jordan finally call it a night. Night Bird was almost fixed. They still had six more modules that needed to be replaced. However, in a pinch, Night Bird could be used.

Sarah couldn’t believe how long chief Jordan and Lucy worked. She stood nearby, out of the way, and kept her eyes on Lucy. By the time chief Jordan and Lucy decided to call it a night, she was relieved.

As Sarah escorts Lucy back to the car they came in “so, is there a way to prevent the helicopter from being affected by those types of weapons?”

“Not, that I’m aware of. Even the EMP shielding the helicopter has won’t protect it. However, there might be a way to counter it. Who’s the chief engineer of the helicopter?” Lucy looks towards Sarah.

“That would be Mrs. Samantha Blake. She’s in charge of special projects and development.” Sarah met Mrs. Blake at the Mountain complex when she was hired and given a tour of the place.

“Thanks for the information.”

Sarah pulls up to the building they were using as quarters. She escorts Lucy pass the guards and into the building.

“Well, here we are. I’ll be by tomorrow to escort you to Mr. Webber’s office.”

“What time?” Lucy looks at Sarah.

“Since, we have gotten in so late, how about nine?” Sarah covers up a yawn.

“Sounds good. It will give my arm a chance to charge up.” Lucy has been pushing her cybernetic arm lately.

“Didn’t they give you the batteries back?” Sarah was curious about that.

“Yes, but they only last for so long, depending on what I am doing.” Lucy still misses her real arm.

“Maybe Mrs. Blake's mother can design you a new arm.”

“Maybe.” Lucy wonders how smart Mrs. Blake was or if she has the people that do that type of work.

“Well, see you in the morning.” Sarah turns around to head to the quarters assigned to her.

Lucy starts getting ready for bed. Since she didn’t have her own shower. She changes out of her clothes and grabs her robe. She heads down to the communal showers.

When Lucy walks into the showers, she spots Cora standing under one with her eyes closed. She notices the scars on Cora’s youthful-looking body. The scarring on Cora’s body looks like it had been done by knives and such. She also noticed the choker that went around Cora’s neck as well. It had the shape of a fox in the middle of it.

“It's okay. It happened several months ago.” Cora had felt the presence of another person in the shower room. She had opened one of her eyes slightly, to see who it was.

“Sorry for staring, Cora.” Lucy walks over and takes the shower stall next to Cora.

“It’s okay. The spirits felt I needed to be reminded of the bargain I made with them for saving my life.” Cora remembered the night she accepted to be their vessel and do whatever they needed her to do.

“You talk like the Native American spirits are real.” Lucy never believed in things like spirits and such.

“They are and they saved my life. They also saved your life as well. How else do you think I found you?” Cora had opened both her eyes and was looking at Lucy.

Lucy notices Cora’s eyes as she looked at her. She has seen Cora’s eyes before, but what was staring back at her weren’t human eyes. They were Fox's eyes staring at her.

Lucy backs away from Cora. She didn’t know what to make of Cora looking at her with those eyes. She watches as Cora's eyes change back to her normal ones.

“Why did you do that?” Lucy was unnerved now.

“Just to prove a point.” A sly smile appears on her face.

“Well, you made your point.” Lucy was still a little startled from it.

“Lucy, I’ve been wondering about something. Did you want to be a woman?” Cora was looking at Lucy’s body and how nice it looked.

“No! This is something I didn’t ask for. The only thing I agreed to, was giving me a new arm. Being turned into his wife wasn’t part of the plan. Nor, was adding weapons and rebuilding attack helicopters for him either.”

Cora listens to what Lucy was telling her. So, far she wasn’t picking up a lie or anything.

“Well, if you need help adjusting or have any questions. Feel free to ask me.” Cora grabs her robe and slippers.

“Thanks.” Lucy watches as Cora walks away.

She finishes her shower and heads back to her quarters. Once Lucy is in her quarters, she slips on the nightshirt one of the employees had gotten for her. Once she was ready for bed, she lays down and slowly fall asleep.

Night Bird Hangar, 0800 hrs.:
As Sarah, Lucy, and Chief Jordan arrive at Night Bird’s hangar, they see a pregnant red hair woman, and several other techs, including Samantha Blake working on Night Bird. Every access panel he had was opened and cables were coming out of him and over to several different mobiles severs.

“Who are they?” Lucy was curious.

“I don’t know who the red hair woman is, but the woman standing next to her is Chief Engineer of Special Projects, Samantha Blake. The
daughter of the owner of Blake Industries.” Chief Jordan has met Samantha several times at various meetings.

“What are they doing to Night Bird?” Sarah was curious.

“I don’t know.” Chief Jordan was curious as well.

“Are you sure this is going to work, Pat?” Sam looks at Pat.

“Positive, Boeing has been working on it for a while now. I just twinked the settings to act more like a shield, then a plasma shield.” The design Boeing was experimenting with, was the bases of creating a plasma shield.

“I’m glad we managed to get our hands on it.” Samantha didn't think they would be able to get the design in time, but thanks to Pat’s ability. They not only managed to get the blueprints but build it overnight and work its design into Night Bird’s system.

“Morning, Sam?” Chief Jordan walks up to Samantha.

“Hey, Jordan. Sorry for bragging in on your territory, but we came up with a solution to protect Night Bird from microwave attacks.” Sam looks at Jordan and the two other women behind him.

Lucy looks at Samantha and was curious about what the solution was “what was your solution?”

“A basic energy shield, based on an experimental plasma shield design that Boeing has constructed.” Pat turns around to look at the young woman they had been informed about.

Lucy was surprised. She read an article while at MIT of Boeing designing and building a plasma shield. It was meant to protect vehicles and personnel from incoming explosive damage, but it was still in the development stage.

“I didn’t think a working prototype had been built yet?” Lucy had a questionable look on her face.

“They managed to build two prototypes.” Samantha couldn’t tell Lucy, how they got the design.

“So, this device will protect Night Bird, from further microwave attacks?” Chief Jordan wanted to know more about it.

“Yes, however, it uses a lot of energy. Night Bird will be going through his hydrogen fuel cells faster.” Samantha and Pat couldn’t come up with a better system.

“Could we install that device on any other helicopter?” Chief Jordan wouldn’t mind installing it on a few attack helicopters they had.

“Yes, but unfortunately, we only have one prototype right now.” Sam figured if it works, they will get permission from Boeing to build a few more.

“Do you mind if I take a look at it?” Lucy was curious.

Sam looks at Jordan to see if she could be trusted. She knew Lucy had been deceived and tricked to make her work on the other three helicopters.

Jordan notices Sam’s look and nods his head yes to her unspoken question. After working with her last night, he trusted her with Night Bird. He’s been thinking about recruiting her after all this mess was over with.

“Go right ahead.” Sam steps aside, nudging Pat to move as well.

Pat just looks at Sam when she nudges her. She was busy mentally setting up the perimeters of the field on Night Bird. She wanted to make
sure the whole aircraft was protected.

Lucy walks up to the main access and looks inside. She was looking for the new device and spots it. It had been constructed to fit in the empty spot that use to be where it was. It had a diagnostic panel and port, which currently had a cable connected to it.

The cable ran from it to a portable server unit sitting nearby. She looks at several other portable server units connected to Night Bird.

“Why are there four servers connected to Night Bird?”

“We’ve gone in and cleaned up a few problems we found. We’re also reprogramming Night Bird with a new system.” Sam and Pat rewrote all of Night Birds operating systems and wiped the old system out of him.

“I know Katey and Jessica will appreciate the upgrade.” Jordan knew how they appreciate any upgrades to Night Bird.

“They will need a slight learning curve.” Pat looks at Jordan when she says that.

“How come?” Jordan wonders why Katey and Jessica would need more training.

“The controls are slightly more responsive than before and the system is more acute than they were. Plus, Night Bird is self-learning. It will be able to predict the enemies' next move.”

“Isn’t that, kind of dangerous? Couldn’t that cause Night Bird to turn against the pilot’s?”

“No, he isn’t equipped with artificial intelligence. He’s only capable of analyzing the data he gathers and suggests possible countermeasures. It still comes down to the pilot to determine what they are going to do.”

“So, a more enhance combat computer?” Jordan figures that was what Pat was saying.

“You could say that.”

“How much longer, before everything is done?” Jordan was looking at the portable servers connected to Night Bird.

“A few more hours. We had to do a total wipe of Night Bird's old system. We’re loading the new system into his onboard computers right now.”

“What’s to keep a hacker from hacking his system?” Lucy was wondering how they could prevent that.

“They would need physical access to his onboard computers. You can’t hack his system through anything else, except a physical connection.”
Pat made sure that nothing could access Night Bird from outside. She could because of her talents and the implant in her head.

The next few hours Sarah and Lucy watched as the reprogramming on Night Bird takes place. Once the programming was done, all the access hatches on Night Bird are closed. Pat climbs into the cockpit and starts Night Bird up.

“Is she going to be able to fly in the condition she is in?” Jordan noticed how big Pat’s belly was.

“She’ll be okay. The baby won’t let her fly very fast.” Sam saw how pale Pat got on the way over to the airfield, late last night.

Pat goes through and activates Night Bird’s system and monitor them as they booted up. Some of them slowly come online as the new operating system configures itself to the hardware. Any of them that was too slow, she merges with the system and fixes the problem.

Once Night Bird is fully operational, she takes Night Bird out for a flight test. Everyone watches as Night Bird flies off. They watch as Pat does a few moves and flies back to them and land.

“How did he do?” Sam watches as Pat climbs down from Night Bird.

“He did fine. Katey and Jessica should be fine flying him and if they encounter that Eurocopter again, they will have the advantage.”

“Except their missiles won’t affect him.” Lucy didn’t know if they fixed that problem.

“We replace Night Bird’s missiles with fire and forget ones. So, when Night Bird fires at the Eurocopter, they can’t stop them.” Sam loaded
Night Bird with unguided missiles.

“So, they have to make sure they are pointing at the attack copter.” Lucy figures that the missiles Sam loaded meant they had no navigation or
targeting systems in them.

“Yep, they are a direct fire missile. Like a gun firing a bullet.”

“Man, that’s a big change from what they normally carry.” Jordan knew Night Bird carried self-guided missiles.

“That’s why Katey and Jessica are going to have a slight training curve.” Pat knew those two pilots will have to adjust to the new system.

“I’ll inform them.” Chief Jordan sends a text to their cellphones to see him.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I’m hungry.” Pat was having a major craving for some freshly cooked fried chicken and pickles.

“Come on, let's go and put some food in you. If you guys are hungry, you’re welcome to join us. My treat.” Sam figures since she is feeding, Pat. She would pay for everyone else.

“Thanks.”

Sam, Pat, Sarah, and Lucy walk towards the cafeteria on base. Chief Jordan watches as the techs on duty starts boxing up all the servers and cables..

Jessica and Kathy’s Quarters:
A smile appears on Jessica’s face as she looks at her naked girlfriend spread eagle and tied to the bed. She twirls the eagle feather in her hand.

“Now, I told you, turnabout is fair play.” As she increases the vibrations of the sex egg toy she stuffed up inside of Katey’s vagina.

Katey looks up at her girlfriend as she feels the plastic vibrating egg in her artificial vagina vibrates more. At first, Jessica had been easy and only allowed a small vibration, but now she was feeling it. She couldn’t moan out loud, because of the ball gag she was wearing.

Jessica notices how much Katey wanted to wiggle and moan but couldn’t. She turns the vibration upon the vibrating butt plug she had put in Katey’s ass.

“I’m going to take my time with you, Katey. Just the way you did me last night.” An evil smile appears on Jessica’s beautiful face as she starts torturing Katey with the eagle feather.

The next four hours, Jessica has her wicked way with Katey’s bound body. She tortured Katey, the same way she was tortured by her. She used the eagle feather first, then she moved onto ice on Katey’s sensitive parts, clothespins, and finally the E-stim toys they bought.

She just straddles Katey’s waist, as she sat on her sex. She knew she caused Katey to squirt at least six times and the last one had gone the furthest. Sure, it hit her, as she planned, but she hadn’t counted on Katey having enough energy left after all the things she did to her.

Jessica removes the ball gag from Katey’s mouth “you have one last task, my sweet. You need to clean me, after all the excitement you gave me.” Jessica sticks her finger into Katey’s vagina and rubs it around. She wanted to make sure it was coated real good, before wiping her finger on Katey’s lips.

Katey sucks on Jessica’s finger, tasting Jessica’s juices. She is startled when Jessica removes her finger and sits on her face.

“Be a good girl and make mommy come.” Jessica sits down Katey’s mouth.

Roof Top of The Tallest Building on The Base:
Cora couldn’t believe that they had been given a few days to recover, while Night Bird was being worked on. Something didn’t feel right to her, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. She normally thought better while gliding through the sky. So, she asked permission to have access to the tallest building they had on base to jump off.

She walks up to the edge of the roof and looks over. She was high up, but she’ll have to get a running start to jump far enough off the building and expand her gliding wings.

Cora turns around and walks towards the other end of the rooftop to get a running start. She starts running from the other side of the roof and just as she jumps off the ledge on the other side. She pushes with all her strength in her leg to spring her forward more. She puts her arms beside her body and does the same for her legs. She spreads them open to cause her glider wings to expand.

Her wings catch the air current and lift her into the air. She glides on the currents as the land passes below her. Every time she takes to the air, she feels free as a bird. She loved, just gliding over the land.

Cora continues to glide for a while, just riding the air currents. The night was her environment. As she is gliding, something the guys she spied on mention something about another job. They were going to pull another job.

They didn’t say what the job was. She aims for Lake Powell, it was a bit of a stretch to reach it, but she hopes she’ll be able to accomplish it. It doesn’t take Cora long before she drops out of the sky and land in the water. She manages to fold her glide wings before she hits the water.
She coughs from choking on some water that entered her mouth.

She looks around as she lays back on her back and looks up at the star’s overhead. She knew she’ll have to climb the canyon walls to get up high enough to glide. That would be after her suit was dry.

Cora closes her eyes and thinks about the conversation she overheard that night. The first one, as she has learned was about the armored truck loaded with gold. She concentrates on the second conversation. What exactly did they say?

She floats on her back, as the water surrounds and supports her. She lets her mind slip back to that night and replay everything she heard.

“Don’t forget our true mission. Our true target is Aaron Furtado Rezende. We need to free him and force him to tell us where he hid Paulo Medina Beltrão's money. Mr. Beltrão wants his money and Aaron Rezende is the only one who knows what bank account he hid it in.”

Cora opens her eyes and nearly sink. She starts swimming towards the shore, so she can climb the cliff sides to jump off and glide back towards the base. The climb will allow her suit to dry before she needs her glider wings.

Once she is out of the lake, she walks over to the cliff wall. She pulls out a pair of climbing claws from her pouch. She could freehand thee climb, but the claws will help her scale the cliff wall faster. She puts the feet ones on first and then the hand ones. She is pleased that the spirits that saved her life, aren’t against her using them.

She starts climbing the cliff face. It takes her a while to climb up the cliff face. She had a few tricky spots she encountered, but thanks to her training and help from the spirits. She was able to overcome them.

When she reaches the top, she barely had enough strength to pull herself, over the cliff edge, but she managed. She looks up into the night sky “why can’t things be simple for you guys?”

Cora slowly stands up and steps back far enough to get a running start. Her leg muscles were sore from her climbing. She removes her
climbing claws and put them back into her pouch.

“Here goes nothing!” Cora runs towards the edge of the cliff and jumps off, spreading her glider wings.

She glides back to Aero Flight Industries. The sun was just rising as she approaches the edge of the airfield. She spots Night Bird and a group
of people surrounding his hangar. She glides as close to the runway as she can before landing.

Back before the spirits changed her and gave her a second chance. She would jump out of airplanes to get the type of thrill; she can get now whenever she wanted too. She was happy that the spirits gave her a suit capable of doing what she does now.

Cora walks towards the building Mr. Webber’s office was located and hopes he is there. She didn’t know what time he got into his office, but she does know he has been staying on base since what happened in Flagstaff.

Mr.Webber was catching up on the reports the main office wanted. He couldn’t believe how much detail they wanted and what actions were being taken. He takes a sip of his coffee, just as he finished the last report. Just as he sent the last report, his office door opened.

Cora walks into Mr. Webber’s office, without knocking. She spots him sitting behind his desk “we need to talk “

“Okay, what is so important that you need to brag into my office?” Mr. Webber looks at Cora like a father would.

“I know who their next target is and we need to get the Marshals involved on this one.” Cora stood before Mr. Webber’s desk.

“What are you talking about Cora?” Mr. Webber was a little confused.

“The people who stoled all the gold. They are going to go after someone in the US Marshal’s custody. They are going to take a person by the name of Aaron Rezende from the Marshal’s because he stole money from someone named Medina Beltrão.”

“Why? What is so special about this guy?” Mr. Webber wanted to know more?

“According to what I recalled, Mr. Rezende holds the information to an account that has Mr. Beltrão money. If they kill him, Mr. Beltrão won’t get his money.”

“Alright, I’ll get the Marshal’s on the phone.”

“Okay, I’m going down to the cafeteria and grab a cup of tea.” Cora turns and leaves Mr. Webber’s office.

Mr. Webber gets on the phone and calls Marshal Quin and Marshal McShane. He needs to find out more about Mr. Rezende's person and Mr. Beltrão as well.

Night Bird’s Hangar:
Katey and Jessica head towards Night Bird to see what has been done to him. They knew Chief Jordan and the person name Lucy has been working hard to repair and upgrade Night Bird.

“Hey Chief, how’s our boy?” Katey spotted Chief Jordan making sure everything was buttoned up.

“He’s ready to show who’s the boss in the air.” Chief Jordan looks proudly at Night Bird.

“So, what upgrades did you guys do to him?” Katey was curious and so was Jessica.

She wanted to know what they did to their favorite toy. Jessica walks towards the cockpit and climbs in. She looks over the controls to see what they did.

Chief Jordan watched as Jessica walks over to Night Bird. He knew she wanted to check out what he and his team did to him.

“We installed an experimental shielding device, that should protect you from the microwave attack. The drawback to this shielding, its an energy hog. So, when it is engaged, you can’t use your stealth system. It doesn’t leave enough energy for you to use it.” Chief Jordan and
Samantha tried everything possible to make it possible for both systems to work. However, both systems draw to much power and drained the hydrogen cells to fast.

“So, we’re protected from their special attacks?” Katey didn’t know it was possible.

“Yes. Also, we installed different missiles in Night Bird. The microwave beam shouldn’t affect them.”

“Well, let's take him up and see how he handles.” Katey heads towards the cockpit and gets in.

“We’ll be monitoring you.” Chief Jordan walks over to the monitoring equipment

“Alright, Jessica. Let’s see what they have done to our boy.” Katey lowers her visor and takes off into the air.

Jessica monitors all the instruments as they take off. So, far everything was within range of what they should be.

“Jessica, I’m going to take us out a little further than our assigned section.” Katey widens their patrol radius.

“How does he feel Katey?” Jessica noticed a little jerky movement.

“He’s responding faster then he did before.” Katey noticed the controls were more sensitive.

“I’m going to activate our new shielding system to see how much of a power drain it puts on our system.”

“Okay, go ahead.” Katey wanted to see herself how much of a drain it did.

Jessica activates the shielding system. Instantly, the power indicates dip as soon as it turned on. Both women noticed how much energy the new system stole from Night Bird’s energy cells.

“Okay, Chief Jordan was right about the drain. We might be able to get a few shots with the lasers if we needed them before we would have to turn back.” Jessica turns the system off.

“We’ll have to be careful while the shield system is on.” Katey does their patrol route while learning how Night Bird responded. She wanted to get revenge on Alex Peresviet and his partner Gianna Reddick for what they did to Night Bird.

“I wish we knew what their game plans were.” Jessica was thinking about the crooks what else they were planning.

“Who knows. I do know we owe them for what they did to Night Bird.”

A sly smile appears on Jessica’s face. She knew how Katey felt about all her vehicles and how special Night Bird was to her. She keeps an eye on all their instruments as they keep doing their patrol.

US Marshal Office:
Marshal Quin and Marshal McShane were going over the reports of the men Lucy was able to identify. A lot of them had military records and were wanted in several countries on various charges.

“Can you believe these files? These men Simon Wright hired are wanted by a lot of countries.” Marshal Quin couldn’t their records.

“According to the information, they all have worked together before.” Marshal McShane closes the file he put together on them.
“Ring, ring, ring!”

Marshal Quin’s cellphone starts ringing. He picks it up and answers it “hello?”

“Marshal Quin, this is Mr. Webber from Aero Flight Industries. I need for you and your partner to check on a person by the name of Aaron Rezende and another one by the name of Medina Beltrão.” Murray puts down the sheet of paper that had his notes on it.

“Okay, why do you need for us to check these men out.” Marshal Quin was curious.

“Because, the men that Mr. Wright hired are going after Aaron Rezende, who is in the Marshals custody.”

Mr. Quin taps the keys on his keyboard and Aaron Rezende's name comes up as being protected by them. The reason was that he had information on Medina Beltrão. Quin motions his McShane over to look at the computer.

“How do you know about Aaron Rezende, Mr. Webber?”

“Cora Black. That night she went and infiltrated that property she heard them mention his name.”

“Did she say how?” Marshal Quin was curious because no one was supposed to know about Aaron Rezende.

“I think you would be better off talking with her.” Mr. Webber figures Cora could explain things to them.

“Alright, we’ll be at your office in a few hours.” Marshal Quin and McShane still had a few things to do.

“Okay, I’ll have Mrs. Black waiting here for you.”

“Okay.’ Marshal Quin ends the call.

Cora watches as one of Aero Flight's helicopter lands. She stood nearby next to one of the SUV’s she took from her first case. So, that she looked professional, she decided to wear a black business suit and had on a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses.

Patricia lands the helicopter she had been asked to fly and pick-up a gentleman named Aaron Rezende. She wasn’t given much information, but she didn’t need to know. She ran Aaron Rezende’s name through the Marshal database and learned why the US Marshal’s were protecting him. She could easily find the account if she wanted to.

Aaron Rezende looks at the airfield as they landed. He had been woken in the middle of the night and was greeted by a person that was identical to him. He had his head covered and was transferred to a waiting SUV.

“Where are we?” Aaron looks at the female US Marshal assigned to him.

April looks at Mr. Rezende “it's best you don’t know, Mr. Rezende.”

April was informed to keep everything secret, because of a leak. She just transferred from the Knoxville Marshal Office to the Salt Lake City Marshal office. She was assigned to protect Aaron Rezende, while arrangements were being made for him.

“Don’t forget, you need me, Marshal Villain.” Aaron looks at April.

“I haven’t forgotten, Mr. Rezende.” April will be glad when this assignment is over with.

The flight crew helps Mr. Rezende and US Marshal out of the helicopter. They are escorted over to the black SUV Cora was standing at “I’ll take them from here, guys.”

Aaron Rezende looks at the Native American woman dressed in a black uniform and wearing mirror aviator glasses. He notices the black SUV behind her.

“What are you suppose to be?” Mr. Rezende wonders who the Native American woman was.

“I’m just your driver. If you want to live, I would be a bit nicer to people.” Cora lowers her shades to look at Mr. Rezende. Her fox mask was in
the SUV in her bag if she needed it.

Aaron Rezende Safe House:
Avery watched as the real Aaron Rezende is escorted out. He was hired to impersonate Aaron Rezende by his friend Marshal Quin. That was his specialty and what he did for a living He had met at his friend’s apartment and met Marshal McShane.

Marshal Quin explained to him, why he needed his services and what danger he could face. Avery didn’t care about the danger. He uses to work for the CIA as an undercover agent, in some of the worst countries.

Marshal Quin and Marshal McShane explained what they wanted him to do. They wanted him to replace Aaron Rezende so, they could lure and capture the people sent to kidnap him. They couldn’t trust anyone in their office or any of the other offices. They felt someone in transportation was leaking the information. So, they wanted to keep this off the books and on the down-low.

Avery is picked up by Marshal Quin and Marshal McShane. The female Marshal riding with him was named Harris and she was in her late thirties. They leave and drive down the highway.

SUV 1:
Cora had already radio Katey and Jessica. She was taking a different route than the other SUV. She hopes their plan will work.

Aaron Rezende watches as the countryside went by. He was feeling nervous after he learned that Mr. Beltrão had sent some men to grab him.
He glances towards his body and notices she was alert as well. He looks back towards the Native American woman driving the SUV. He wonders how she fitted in with the Marshal’s.

SUV 2:
Marshal Quin was driving the second SUV. He was following the route they had planned on using. All three Marshal’s were keeping their eyes out. Two of the Marshals knew an attack was going to happened, but they didn’t know when.

Avery was alert as well. He was watching the three Marshals as they drove.

“I hope you know what you’re doing because Medina Beltrão isn’t going to let me testify against him or let you get his money.” Avery had to play up the role.

Marshal Quin and Marshal McShane gave him enough information and background on Aaron Rezende to pass as him. He looks towards Marshal Harris and notices she was looking a little nervous. He didn’t know if it was the assignment or if she was in league with the people trying to kidnap him.

Night Bird:
Katey and Jessica were shadowing Marshal Quin’s SUV with their decoy person. They had the stealth system on and were high enough, they couldn’t be seen. So, far nothing has popped up on their radar.

“Katey, do you think they are going to take the bait?” Jessica was curious because they were halfway to their destination.

“Oh, they are going to take the bait.” Katey was sure of that.

The next fifteen minutes go by slowly. Jessica looks at her instruments and notices two blips, were flying nap of the Earth.

“We got two fishes coming in. Identifying their transponder codes.” Jessica runs their transponders and they come up as belonging to some sightseeing tour.

“They are using false transponder codes, Katey.” Jessica checked their radar silhouettes against their combat computer.

“That’s what I thought. They are trying to be sneaky. Any sign of the Eurocopter?” Katey wanted a rematch against them.

“No, nothing yet. So, what do you want to do?” Jessica was ready for war.

“Let’s see how they like our toys.” Katey starts heading towards the blips.

Jessica arms the railgun and lasers. She watches as the energy consumption goes down as the lasers come online.

“FIRE!”

The Apache was getting ready to attack the SUV when all of sudden, smoke starts coming from their tail rotor and they lose their main rotor. Something hard had hit their main rotor, causing the motor to explode.

“The Apache is going down.” Jessica had monitored the damaged the lasers had done and what the railgun had done as well.

“Take the sea stallion out.” Katey drops the stealth system and comes around to fire at sea stallion.

“Katey, we have company.” Jessica activates the new shield system, just in time. Sparks danced around Night Bird as the microwaves, hit the shield.

An evil smile appears on Katey’s face, as she fires the new missiles at the sea stallion. She had targeted the tail rotor and the main rotor.

“Let’s see you take these missiles out.” Katey fires the new missiles.

The pilot of the sea stallion tries using their microwave weapon system on the missiles. Nothing happens as the missiles hit their target. Two of
the missiles Katey fired hits the tail as she planned, and the other two missiles hit the main engine.

She watches as the sea stallion starts spiraling out of control.

“Incoming!” The warning lights in Night Bird start flashing.

Katey dodges out of the way of the minigun mounted on the Eurocopter. She brings Night Bird’s railgun around and rapidly fires it at the Eurocopter. She was determined to take Alex Peresviet and his damn chopper down.

Warning signals sound as several of the fletches from Night Bird passes through the cockpit. One goes through his legs and several others go through his co-pilot. Gianna Reddick screams out in pain, as several fletches pass through her body.

Alex targets Night Bird with missiles and fires. He watches as the strange weapon on Night Bird turns around and targets each missile. Each missile disappears as it gets hit.

“What’s our energy reading, Jessica?” Katey keeps firing the railgun at the Eurocopter.

She has already exhausted their missiles. She wanted to use the lasers, but that used uses a lot of energy and right now they had the shield up to protect them.

“We don’t have enough to use the lasers and keep the shield up.” Jessica was watching the energy levels as they started dipping.

“Alright.” Katey does a mid-air pivot and fires the railgun at Alex.

Alex wasn’t prepared when Night Bird does a mid-air pivot and fires its railgun directly into his cockpit. The Eurocopter goes down in flames as it hits the ground.

“That’s for all the brave men and women you killed, you bastard.” Katey checks on the SUV that Marshal Quin and Marshal McShane were in.

Marshal Quin had stopped and watched as Night Bird came out of the sky and took on all three helicopters. The Eurocopter crashes about half a mile from them.

“Turning the shield off.” Jessica turns the energy shield off.

“Alright.” Katey flies over towards the Sea Stallion and the Apache to see who survived the crash landing.

The pilots of the Sea Stallion and the Apache survived. Some of the men who were going to kidnap Mr. Rezende were stumbling out of the
Sea Stallion. One of them looks up at Night Bird and gives it the middle finger.

In return, Jessica paints him with the lasers mounted on the side of the cockpit. She kept the power of the lasers low.

“Mine is more powerful.”

Katey and Jessica land and start shutting things down. Night Bird’s missile payload was exhausted, and his energy reserves were at the lowest levels. Once everything was shut down, Jessica opens the cockpit.

“Night Bird got his revenge, today.” Jessica climbs down first from the cockpit.

“That he did.” Katey pats the side of Night Bird as she climbs down.

Chief Jordan and several techs come out to Night Bird. He looks at Katey and Jessica “how did the shield, do?”

“Remarkably, well. However, its an energy hog. Night Bird is going to need new fusion cells.” Jessica hands the USB she used to record Night Bird’s performance to Chief Jordan.

“Thanks.” Chief Jordan accepts the USB drive.

“But it worked, right?” Chief Jordan wanted to know more about the shield.

“Oh, it worked alright. As soon as the microwave beams hit the shield, we had a pretty light show, as they bounced off the shield.” Jessica was impressed by the shield.

“Good, I wasn’t convinced that the shield would work. It’s still experimental and untested.” Chief Jordan looks towards Night Bird.

“Well, it works and protected Night Bird, so he could get his revenge.” Katey was proud of her helicopter.

“Oh, before I forget. Your neighbor called, Katey and said a red flashing light was going off at your place.” Chief Jordan had received the message through the main switchboard.

A puzzled look appears on Katey’s face. She knew the red light meant someone broke into her place.

“Alright, thanks to Chief.” Katey and Jessica head towards the locker room and change out of their flight gear.

“Doesn’t the red light at your place mean, someone has broken into your place?” Jessica looks at Katey as she stood nearby in her panties and bra.

“Yes, it does. That way I don’t walk in on a robbery or an ambush.” Katey rushes to get dressed in her street clothes.

Jessica hurries as well. Once both ladies are dressed. They run out to Katey’s jeep and hop in.

Katey puts the jeep into gear and speeds off the airbase towards her place. She was wondering who had broken into her place.

It doesn’t take Katey and Jessica long to arrive at Katey’s place, with the speed she was traveling at. They pull up the driveway and notices that the red light on Katey’s place was still flashing. Katey guides the jeep up the driveway and stops.

“I’ll go first.” Katey grabs her concealed handgun and moves towards her house.

The front door was still locked, and the garage door was still locked. Katey goes around to the back door and saw a set of bloody handprints on the backdoor. The doorknob was covered in blood. It looked like, whoever broke in picked the lock.

Katey noticed there were droplets of blood heading into the house. She follows the droplets to her bathroom. She slowly opens the door and spots a pile of black clothing piled in the middle of the floor. She spots a person with neon pink and silver short hair laying in her tub. The person looked like someone had used their face as a punching bag.

Katey moves closer to her tub and could see that the tub was filled with water and had a slight redness to it. The person was female and naked. She had several tattoos that covered her battered body. Her body had bruises on her chest and looked to have several lacerations on her body.

Jessica followed behind Katey as she went around to the back of the house and followed the blood trail into the house. She stops just outside the door to the bathroom as she watches Katey goes further in.

“Is she still alive?” Jessica had spotted the short hair woman, laying in the tub.

“I don’t know.” Katey reaches forward and checks for a pulse.

It takes her a few seconds to find one. It was very weak.

“She still has a pulse. Call the airbase and have them send a helicopter to my address. We need to get her to the hospital.”

“I’m on it.” Jessica pulls her cellphone out and calls the airbase.

Katey continues to examine the young woman. Whoever she is, she was in bad shape. Her fingerprints have been removed. She had numerous tattoos that covered her body. She had a nice one that covered her breasts and went up to both her shoulders like a wing.
In between her breasts was a huge owl, that the wings connected too. The wings covered the upper part of her breast and went to her shoulders as if he was flying.

Katey takes a picture of her face and all the tattoo’s covering her body. She drains the water out of the tub and grabs a towel to cover the woman. She spots where several bullets have entered the woman.

Jessica walks back into the bathroom “a medevac is on route to here.”

“Okay.” Katey continues to look at the woman.

As she is looking, she notices a tattoo that is identical to the one she has. It was the symbol from the squadron she had been assigned to. The thing was, she doesn’t recognize the face or body of the person.

Jessica notices Katey staring hard at the unconscious woman. She wonders if the woman was an old lover of hers.

“Do you know, her?” Jessica was curious.

“No, but she has the same tattoo from the same unit I served in.” Katey points towards it.

“So, you think she’s from your unit?” Jessica looks at Katey.

“I don’t know, but only our unit had this style of tattoo.” Katey was puzzled about who this person is.

Katey goes and turns off the flashing red light. She hears the helicopter land outside her place. She opens the front door and watch as paramedics exit from the chopper and come inside her house.

“She’s in my bathroom, in the tub.” Katey steps aside to let the paramedics go by her.

Jessica starts cleaning up the blood that had dripped from the person. She wonders who the other woman was and why they came here to Katey’s place.

Katey watches as the paramedics tend to the woman’s wounds. One of the paramedics look towards Katey “it’s good you called when you did. She has lost a lot of blood.”

“Where are you taking her?” Katey wants to talk with her and find out who she is.

“To the infirmary at the airbase.”

“Alright, I’ll drop in tomorrow to see how she is doing.” Katey steps aside so the paramedics could carry the woman out.

Once the paramedics are gone. Katey goes back into the bathroom to go through the clothes the woman left behind. She finds the woman’s bra and notices she was a little bigger in the chest than hers. The outfit itself looked to be some sort of bodysuit that had slashes in it. It also had a few bullet holes in it as well.

There were dust and sand on the boots that went with the outfit. She finds the gun holster and saw that there were .45 caliber HK45 compact tactical in the holster. Both guns were empty.

“What type of guns are those?” Jessica was curious.

“HK45, tactical. I prefer my high-power browning’s.” Katey had tucked her gun into the waistband of her pants.

“Well, you need to ask whoever that woman was. Why she broke into our home.” Jessica was living with Katey full time now.

“I will. There are too many questions and not enough answers.”

Katey and Jessica go about cleaning the place up.

Carol pulls up into Katie’s driveway and notices that Katie’s Jeep was in the driveway. She stops in front of it and gets out of her small pick-up truck. She grabs her cleaning supplies from the back and walks up to the front door.

She reaches into her left pocket and pulls the front door key out and unlock the door. She peeks inside and notices that Katie and Jessica were still asleep in the bedroom. She walks in and closes the door quietly behind her.

It’s not the first time she has come over like she was supposed to and found Katie asleep in her bedroom, while she cleaned the house. She heads towards the kitchen first to start cleaning. She could tell someone must have cleaned in the kitchen. She notices that one of the windows panes in the back door was missing.

Carol goes about cleaning the kitchen and taking the trash out to the garbage can. She puts the recyclables in the proper cans. When she walks back inside the house, she notices Katie was up and wearing nothing.

“Rough night, last night?” As Carol watches Katie over near the counter she just finishes cleaning.

“Sort of. I had a visitor last night.” Katie brews some coffee.

“Anyone, you know?” Carol knew Katie was a former helicopter pilot from the army and her cousin was a former CIA agent.

She also knew she had a brother that was a cop and an older sister that was an English professor. She had another older brother that was a conductor on a train.

“Yes and no. The person that I found in my house last night, had a tattoo from the same unit I use to belong too, but I didn’t recognize her.” Katie was still puzzled about who she was.

Jessica comes stumbling into the kitchen and over to Katie and kisses her. She walked right by Carol and she didn’t have any clothes on.

“You know if I didn’t already have a rich sugar mommy. I might consider having sex with you two.” Carol had a teasing smile on her face.

“You would never cheat on Elizabeth. You two are too much in love.” Katie knew Elizabeth and how she flipped head over heels when she met Carol.

Carol liked older women over younger women. Elizabeth loved the fact a younger girl like Carol loved her. Elizabeth was a rich businesswoman and owned several companies. Carol on the other hand owned her own cleaning business.

That was how the two of them met. Elizabeth hired Carol to come and clean up after a big party she threw. One thing led to another and the two of them got married six months later. Carol continued cleaning houses and took on two more employees.

“Who said anything about cheating? Don’t you know, my wife wants to have sex with the two of you?”

“Oh!” Katie didn’t know that.

Jessica looked surprised. She didn’t know Elizabeth wanted to have sex with her and Katie. Being a lesbian was still new to Jessica. She has only been out of the closet for six months now.

Carol noticed how Jessica blushed from her comment about her wife wanting to have sex with her. A smile appears on her face, as she heads into the living room and starts cleaning up.

“So, what do you want to do about our visitor from last night?” Jessica wanted to know where they came from and why were they so beat up.

“I’m going to call the base hospital and see how she is. Afterward, I’m going to call Cora to see if she can backtrack where she came from.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Jessica walks over to Katie and places a kiss on her.

Once the coffee was ready, Katie and Jessica both pour a cup for themselves, before heading back to the bedroom. Katie stops before she heads into the bedroom “you don’t need to worry about the bedroom, today Carol.”

“Alright, Katie. I just have to finish dusting and clean your bathroom.” Carol had her duster out and was dusting one of Katie’s tall bookcases.

“I don’t know if Jessica and I got all the blood from last night.”

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll get it.” Carol knew she could clean all the blood away.

Katie grabs her cellphone and looks up Cora’s number. She knew if there was anyone who could backtrack the trail the woman took to get to her place, Cora could.

Cora’s Place:
Cora was enjoying a hot cup of tea and filling out some paperwork for the government. They wanted a report on how she tracked down where Lucy was. As she finishes writing the report. Her cellphone starts ringing. She glances at the number and notices it was Katie’s number. She presses the accept button “Hey Katie, what can I do for you?”

“I need your help with a problem. I had a visit last night from a badly beaten up woman, but I don’t know where she came from. Can you come over and backtrack where she came from?”

“Sure, I can do that. Do you know the woman?”

“I don’t have a clue on who she is. I’m hoping the base hospital can identify her.” Katie was still puzzled about who the woman was.

“Alright, give me an hour-n-half to arrive.” Cora was done with the report.

“Okay, I’ll see you then.” Katie ends the call.

Jessica walks over and sits down on Katie’s lap. Neither one of them has gotten dressed yet.

“So, is Cora going to come over and backtrack where our visitor came from?” Jessica liked sitting on Katie’s lap.

“Yes, she asked me to give her an hour-n-half.”

“Cool, that gives me some time to molest you.” Jessica starts kissing Katie.

Indian Reservation:
Cora was heading towards the entrance to the Indian reservation when she spots an emo color long hair girl with fair skin limping down the road leading to the trading post. The poor thing looked like she has been out in the sun because her skin had a pinkish color to it. It dawns on
Cora who the girl was. She pulls into the trade post parking lot and waits for the girl to arrive.

Melissa spots a souped-up, grey Camero Z28 pull into the parking lot of the trading post she had been heading for. She spots a person get out of the car and stand near it. As she gets closer, she notices that it was Cora Black. She started feeling embarrassed because Cora had already helped her out once before.

“What happened to you, Melissa?” Cora saw how untidy Melissa looked.

“I was tossed out of a moving truck. The truck driver I was riding with, found out I wasn’t a genetic girl. So, he got violent with me.” Melissa couldn’t believe the truck driver she was with, tried to kill her.

“What were you doing with a truck driver, Melissa?” Cora gives Melissa a stern look.

Melissa squirms under Cora’s intense gaze “I was going to have sex with him. I need the money, Cora. My boss cut back my hours and I don’t have enough money to see my doctor.”

Cora sighs “look, I have a friend that needs my help. You’re welcome to join me or I can call a cab for you and have them take you home.”

“If you don’t mind. I rather come with you.” Melissa didn’t want to head back to her apartment.

She was afraid she might run into her landlord and she knew how he felt about prostitutes. He has been known to toss people out of their place if there was any prostitution going on in the building.

“Alright, is there anything you would like from the trading post?”

“Something cold to drink and maybe a sandwich, please?” Melissa gives Cora a pleading look.

“Alright, get in my car and I’ll get you something to eat and drink.” Cora starts walking towards the entrance.

“Thanks, Cora.” Melissa walks over and sits down in the Camero.

She takes her shoes off and relaxes against the soft cloth of the seats. She was glad Cora showed up when she did. The bastard made her jump out of the semi-truck while they were still moving.

She spots Cora coming out of the trading post a few minutes later with a brown bag in her hand. She hopes Cora got a big sandwich because she hasn’t eaten since yesterday morning.

“Here you go, Melissa. I got you a foot-long ham and cheese with plenty of veggies and a large sweet tea.” Cora hands the bag to Melissa.

“Thank you, Cora.” Melissa accepts the bag and digs the drink and sandwich out.

She takes a huge sip of the tea first, to satisfied her thirst. Then she takes a huge bite out of her sandwich. She moans as she tastes the spread and ingredients in the sandwich.

Cora looks at Melissa as she drives towards Katie “start from the beginning and tells me exactly what is going on with you.”

“Can I tell you after I finish eating, please?” Melissa was enjoying the sandwich and drink.

“Yes, you can.” Cora figures there is more going on that Melissa isn’t telling her.

Aviva wakes up and finds herself on the floor of her van. Last night there had been gunshots coming from behind the abandoned gas station she parked at last night. She wonders why there had been gunshots.

She changes out of her nightclothes and slips on a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt. Her breasts weren’t very big, that she needed to wear a bra all the time. She slips her hiking boots on and starts walking towards the back of the gas station.

After about ten minutes of walking, she spots a bunch of buzzards picking at something. She moves carefully to where they were and spots a bloody body. There looked to be a blackened, smoking motorcycle near the body.

“What happened?” Aviva had to cover her nose from the stench.

“That is a good question.”

Cora spots a young woman with short purple color hair standing near a bloody body. The tracks her mask had shown her, had led her to this location. She had backtracked them from behind Katie’s house. The first thing she came across was a damaged motorcycle. It had bullet holes in the tank and the exhaust pipes on it had been damaged.

Thanks to the mystical nature of her mask, it allowed her to follow where the motorcycle had come from. She was surprised to find another person where the tracks led her.

“Who are you?” Aviva looks at the figure that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

The person looked to be wearing some sort of black fox shaped mask and a tight-fitting black suit. She also noticed that the figure had a belt with several leather pouches on it and two tomahawks.

“I’m Cora Black. Do you know what happened here?” Cora approaches the girl carefully.

“No ma’am. I heard gunfire last night. It woke me up and I took cover on the floor of my camper van.”

“You were camping out near here?” Cora was curious.

“Yes ma’am. I don’t have a permanent resident, so I camp out wherever I can.” Aviva watches Cora.

Cora walks over to the dead body. The person was dressed in biker clothes and had several tattoos on his body. He also had a bald head as well. She could see where several bullets had entered his body.

Cora searches his body and looks for his wallet. Katie said that she didn’t know who the person was. She finds his wallet and opens it to see who the person was.

“Are you robbing him?” Aviva was wondering why this Cora person was holding the dead man’s wallet.

Cora looks at the young woman “no, I’m not. I’m wondering who the person is.”

“Oh! I’m sorry.” All of this was new to Aviva. This was stuff she only has seen on television.

Cora reads the name out loud “Becker Thompson.”

“Why do I know that name?” Aviva knew she knew that name, but she couldn’t put her finger on where she knew it from.

Cora looks at the young woman standing before her. She could tell she was thinking about something.

“Do you know this person?”

“I might, but I can’t recall how I know this person.” Aviva knew she knew this person.

“Well, we need to report this. I suggest unless you want to be questioned by the police. To either hide or meet up with me later.” Cora has a
feeling this person might be on the run from something.

“I think it might be better if I get up with you later.” Aviva figures that were the best course of action to take.

“Alright, take my business card here and give me a call later.” Cora hands a Native American design business card to the young woman.

“Thank you. Oh, by the way. My name is Aviva.”

\“It’s nice to meet you, Aviva.” Cora smiles at the young woman.

Aviva heads back to her van and drives away from the gas station. She wonders why anyone would kill the man. She heads towards the nearest fast-food restaurant.

Cora watches as Aviva walks off. She wonders what she was running away from. Also, what was she going to do with Melissa? She pulls her cellphone out and calls the police, after taking pictures of the man she found.

Katie’s House:
“I wonder if she found anything?” Melissa looks towards Katie and Jessica.

“With Cora, you never know.” Katie knows Cora gets her ability from her Native American Fox Mask.

“Where did she get that Native American Fox mask?” Jessica was curious.

“I never asked her. All I do know, the spirits that the Native Americans worship. They guide her where she needs to go.” Katie didn’t know
much about Cora.

Melissa sits down on the sofa and picks up one of the magazines, available. One was about gardening and another was about the military.

“How do you know, Cora?” Katie looks at Melissa when she answers.

“She rescued me from a sticky situation. Some guy who knew me when I use to be a boy. They saw me as I was walking home from work.
They came over and started harassing me. After a few minutes, they started hitting me and kicking me.” Melissa shivers from thinking about that day.

She didn’t know what would have happened to her if Cora hadn’t shown up and knocked the two bullies out. Ever since that day, she was very thankful to Cora for helping her.

“Sounds like something Cora would do.” Katie has only known her for a short time.

After a few hours, Katie gets a message from Cora and a picture as well.

Room 232 West Kingman Medical Center, Kingman, Arizona:
April walks into the hospital room to check on her mysterious patient. She checks her vitals and pain medicine. She wonders, who this woman was? She had been transferred from Aero Flight Industries by helicopter.

A pregnant red hair woman had flown the helicopter that brought her in. No one knew who this woman was or how she incurred the injuries she had. April opens the blinds in the hospital room, so the woman could get some sunshine. Once she was done, she walks out of the hospital room to check on her other patients.

“How’s our mysterious patient?” Jenny looks over towards April as she comes walking out of the hospital room.

“She’s still out of it. I have to say, she has a nice collection of Tattoo’s that cover her body. Especially, the owl that is between her breasts.” April loved tattoos, but she has never gotten up the nerve to get one herself.

“I know what you mean. She has a nice collection of tattoos. Did you see that scar on her back, where her left kidney is located?” Jenny had noticed her chart and saw the information and location of scars on the woman’s body.

“Yeah, it looked like it was done out in the field or by someone with no medical training.” April had seen the scar when she changed the sheets.

“Who do you think she is?” Jenny was curious.

“I don’t know, but Mrs. Blake said we are to let her know when she wakes up.” April wonders when she will wake-up. According to her medical record, she had a lot of wounds.

Cora’s Place, Native American Reservation:
Melissa gets up from the sofa bed she slept on last night. She stretches and heads towards the bathroom. She couldn’t believe that Cora had found the other person and where the woman had come from. When Cora got back to Katie’s place, she did a Facebook search of the person, but there wasn’t any information on Facebook.

They had stayed at Katie’s place, until late and instead of going back to Melissa’s apartment. Cora brought her to her place.

Melissa starts fixing herself some coffee. She knew where Cora kept her coffee and everything. She looks out the window in the kitchen area.

She knew the house that wasn’t too far from Cora’s trailer, belonged to Cora’s friend, George. He was visiting some family members out of state.

Ten minutes later, Cora comes stumbling out of her bedroom. She had on an oversized t-shirt and a pair of black panties. She covers up a yawn as she walks over to the coffee machine and brews herself a cup of coffee. She waves to Melissa as she waits for the coffee brew.

Melissa knew better than to talk to Cora before she had her first cup of coffee. She waits to ask her, about what they were going to do today. She finishes her coffee and rinses her coffee mug out.

Once she saw Cora take her first sip of coffee “so, what’s the plan for today?”

Cora looks at Melissa “first, I need to get in touch with Aviva and talk with her. Secondly, we need to go by your place, and I’ll loan you the money to get your rent up to date and pay whatever bills you still owe. Thirdly, the manager at the Trading Post is looking for a stock person and a nighttime cashier. Do you have a driver's license?”

“Yes, but I don’t own a car.” Melissa never had enough money to buy a car.

“You can use my little Ford Ranger. It should take you about thirty minutes to get from your place and to the Trading Post.” Cora takes a sip
from her coffee mug.

“Are you sure about this Cora? It will take me a while to pay you back for everything.” Melissa knew it would take her a while to pay Cora back.

“Don’t worry about anything. A dear friend helped me out when I needed it. So, all I am doing is paying it forward. I will be checking up on you and making sure you’re not hooking.”

“I promise, I’ll give it up, and thank you.” Melissa walks over and hugs Cora.

Just as Melissa hugs Cora. Cora’s cellphone starts ringing.

“You’re welcome, Melissa.”

Cora heads back to her bedroom to retrieve her cellphone. She looks at the caller Id and notices, it was Aviva calling her.

Aviva’s Van, Walmart Parking Lot:
Aviva wakes up suddenly. She had been in a nice deep sleep when she remembered where she knew Becker Thompson from. She reaches for her cellphone, which was sitting in the wireless charger near the bed she was sleeping on. She reached down to the jeans she wore yesterday and take Cora’s business card and call.

There was a slight chill in the van. She had gone to bed in the panties she wore yesterday and her favorite Iron Man t-shirt. She dials Cora’s phone number.

“Hello?” Cora’s voice comes over the speaker.

“Cora, sorry for calling you so early, but I remembered where I know Becker Thompson from. I did a temp job at a construction site and he operated the heavy equipment there.”

“Do you remember where the construction site is located at?” Cora figures she could go there and speak with the site supervisor.

“Yes ma’am. I remember who the site supervisor is. His name is Brandon Hale. The company is called Bridget Construction.” Aviva moves the curtain on the window near her aside to see what the weather was like. She didn’t see any rain, which she was thankful for.

“Aviva, where are you?” Cora was curious.

“I’m at the Walmart parking lot at Henry street and Walmart way.” Aviva closes the curtain.

“I’m going to send you my address. Could you come over to my place?”

“Sure, just send me your address.”

“Alright, I’ll see you when you get here.” Cora ends the call.

Aviva grabs a pair of shorts from the stack of plastic drawers. She slips them on and makes her way up to the driver seat. She slips her cellphone into the wireless charger.

A smile appears on her face, as she puts her van into gear and drives towards Cora’s place.
