Tammy concentrates on feeling the energy in the ground. She has finally found out how to center herself and block out everything around her. She had Leland try to distract her several times to learn how to block everything. She feels the Earth underneath her, through her connection with it.

Nata has been teaching her the basics and gave her several books to read. Most of them were from current new-age authors. Nata said she could learn the basics from the books she had to buy. Leland thought it was a good idea that she learned how to use her magical nature.

She inhales the scented aroma hovering in the air. She draws on the energies in the ground and brings them upwards. She opens her eyes and looks at the flowerpot sitting in front of her. Since she was an elf whose nature was of nature. She wanted to see if she can make the seed inside the flowerpot grow.

She concentrates on the seed inside the flowerpot and gives it a little bit of energy at first. When she feels the seed move. She gives it a little bit more energy and watches as the plant inside pushes through the soil and starts growing. A smile appears on her face and she continues to feed energy into it. It grows bigger and bigger until it starts to blossom. She stops feeding energy to it.

“Now, here comes the hard part.” As Tammy gathers the energy in between her hands and starts forming a small white cloud.

The cloud stays small, but changes color, and little thunder noises can be heard coming from it. She sends the cloud towards the plant and watches as the little cloud starts raining. She could feel that the cloud wanted to be more violent, but she needed to keep control of it. She couldn’t let it get out of hand.

Tammy takes all the extra energy she has gathered and sends it back down into the ground. She watches as the tiny rain cloud slowly dissipates. She lets the breath she has been holding go. She looks at the plant she just grew and smiles. She has just accomplished her first major spell.

She stands up and stretches from sitting so long. She looks around the garden surrounding her and smiled. She loved being surrounded by many flowers and plants. She picks the flowerpot up and walks over to an empty spot she wanted to put it. Since she just watered it, she was going to give it some time before planting it.

Tammy heads inside the house after putting away her scented candles and tools. She was feeling a little hungry as she walks into the kitchen and start fixing some subs for her and Leland. She couldn’t believe how fast all that bacon she bought disappeared. As she is fixing the subs, she spots Leland walking into the kitchen.

Leland spots Tammy making subs for them. He walks over behind her and wraps his arms around her and places a kiss on her cheek. He could smell that her scent had changed again. It had more of a flora scent to it. He could still smell his scent on her, but her scent was changing to a floral scent.

“I take it, that the spell went well?” Leland knew that Tammy has been exploring her magical nature.

Which was good, because she could already shoot the wings off a fly. He couldn’t believe how lucky he had gotten to find her after so many years.

“Hey! You’re not alone anymore.” Tammy bumps her ass against his body.

“I know, I’m just proud of you.” Leland places another kiss on her cheek.

“Thanks.” Tammy finishes fixing the subs and places them on some plates.

She grabs Leland’s favorite chips from the pantry. Once she has the chips, she heads back to the center counter and sits down next to Leland.
She noticed Leland had gotten them drinks. He had poured her the herbal tea she liked. He had one of his favorite beers.

“So, how long is Mrs. Bounty giving you and your crew time off?” Leland wonders how long they were going to be spending time with each other.

“Two weeks. She has something in the works she is working on. Also, it sounds like there is a family problem she is handling.” Tammy spoke to Gina when she got up.

It’s been a few days since she has last seen Gina. She could hear in Gina’s voice that she was worried about something.

“What do you think it is?” Leland was curious. He did some research into the Bounty family.

He had been told that they were well connected in the Intelligence community and law enforcement community as well. He was also informed that several members of the Bounty family were deadly assassins and that they looked after their people.

“I don’t know, but Mrs. Bounty has been asking me if I knew people who were looking for work. She’s looking for anyone who has scientific or engineering skills.” Tammy wonders why Mrs. Bounty was looking for people with those skills.

“I might know a few people if she doesn’t mind hiring Were’s.” Leland knew a few people that could use the work.

“I’ll give her a call later this afternoon.” Tammy bites into the sub she made.

After lunch, Tammy and Leland change out of the clothes they had on and go for a run together. Tammy had to find a good sports bra to support her big breasts. She knew Leland liked leaving his teeth marks on them. She didn’t mind, because she liked when he ran his claws down her back and across her butt cheeks.

She has never been in pain before, but when he did that. It felt wonderful and she got a massive orgasm. She could feel her nether regions getting wet from her just thinking about how she felt.

“We’re not even halfway done with our run and you’re already thinking about sex.” Leland could feel and smell Tammy.

“I can’t help it. You have done something to me.” Tammy lets him see the smile on her face.

“All I have done is find my perfect mate.” He runs up to her and places a kiss on her cheek.

Tammy just smiles as she tries to catch up with him. She knew Leland was faster than her, but she enjoyed chasing after him. By the time they get back to the house, they had done a total of 22 miles.

“Man, I could use a good shower.” Leland was sweating profusely.

“I know what you mean. Why don’t we take one together?” Tammy starts walking towards the bathroom, striping along the way.

A grin appears on Leland’s face as he follows.

Tammy flips and does another lap. She thinks about how her mother reacted when she told her about what happened to her. Her father had been confused about how she went from being a normal human to a legendary creature of legend. Once they got used to the fact that she had been changed.

She sprung the next surprise on them with her being pregnant. She made sure Leland was there when she sprung that on her parents. She had given him a look that said she wasn’t ready to be a mother.

Her mother and father on the other hand were happy that they were going to be grandparents. They had given up hope that Tammy would ever have children unless she adopted them. Now, they were going to have a grandchild. They were also concerned about how their grandchild will look.

She does two more laps in the pool and climbs out. She had a hard time finding a one-piece swimsuit that would cover and support her big breasts. Leland left his teeth marks on her breasts again. She has given up on him from marking her every morning. He always leaves his teeth marks in the same place.

He did leave some claw marks on the back of her legs, from last night's sex games. Tammy grabs her towel and dries her body. She heads towards the women’s locker room and takes a shower to rinse the chlorine off her body. She could use a little bit of magic to do it, but she didn’t want to.

After taking a shower and drying off. Tammy rinses her swimsuit out and uses a little bit of magic to dry it. She hangs it up in the locker she has claimed for herself. The gym where the pool was, was one of the companies owned by Leland. He owned a bunch of physical fitness companies. Her membership was free, being his wife.

Once she was dressed, she walks out to her SUV. She wanted to go by her favorite gun shop. She had gotten a text that it had gotten in the new FN 509 LS Edge Tactical, KelTec P50, Glock 43X MOS, and the Nighthawk VIP Agent 2. She wanted to try them out and see if any of them were better than her normal guns.

She listens to some of her favorite music as she drives towards her favorite gun shop. She pulls into her normal parking space and parks. She makes sure she has her identity card with her new last name on it.

She leaves her purse in the SUV and makes sure it is hidden from view. She tucks her cellphone into her back pocket on her tight jeans. She has noticed that she has been wearing a lot of tight clothing and leather.

She walks into Tactical Gun Store and just stands there looking around the store. This place felt like home to her. She walks further into the store and over to the main counter. She notices her friend Richard was working behind the counter. She walks up to the counter “Hey Richard, how has business been today?”

Richard looks at the knockout woman with big tits approaching where he was standing. He has never seen this woman before.

“Excuse me, but do I know you?” Richard looks at the woman standing on the other side of the counter.

Tammy had to stop and think before she said anything. She forgot that she has physically changed, so he wouldn’t recognize her.

“No, we haven’t met before, but I have heard so many nice things about you.” Tammy hopes he believes her.

“Oh? Well, what can I do for you?” Richard liked how the woman in front of him looked.

“I would like to see the new guns you recently got in.”

“Sure.” Richard unlocks the glass counter and brings out all the new guns he just recently got in.

Tammy watches as Richard lays down a velvet mat and places the new FN 509 LS Edge Tactical, KelTec P50, Glock 43X MOS, and the Nighthawk VIP Agent 2. She loved how they looked.

“There you are, ma’am.” Richard looks at the beautiful blonde standing in front of him.

“Thank you.” Tammy picks the Edge Tactical up first and examines it. She liked the weight of it and how it felt in her hand.

She puts the Edge Tactical down on the map and picks up the KelTec P50. It fired a high velocity, low recoil 5.7x28mm ammunition. It also had a 50 round magazine as well. She puts that one down and picks up the Glock. She wasn’t a Glock user, but they were good guns. It was small and concealable.

She puts the Glock down and picks the Nighthawk up. It felt nice in her hand but had a little bit of weight to it. She also noticed the price tag on it. Out of all the guns, it was the most expensive.

She puts the Nighthawk down and spotted the Springfield Armory Ronin 10mm in the case. She kneels in front of the glass case “let me see that Springfield, please.” As she stands back up.

“Sure.” Richard pulls the Springfield out of the case.

He hands it to her, after checking it. He could tell she knew what she was doing when it came to guns.

“Here you go, ma’am.” As Richard hands the guns to her.

Tammy accepts it and starts dry-firing it. She starts checking it over. She liked the stainless-steel finish it had. Tammy looks at Richard “I’ll take two of these and one of the Glocks.”

“I’ll need to see your id.”

“No problem.” Tammy pulls her wallet out and hands Richard the id.

“Why don’t you go ahead and give me the paperwork to fill out. I know there is a ten-day waiting period before I can get them.” Tammy knew what California law was when it came to guns.

“Sure but we're not using paper anymore. Everything has gone hi-tech.” Richard found it to be easier.

“No problem.” Tammy smiles at Richard.

Richard brings the laptop out for Tammy to use. While she was filling the paperwork out, he runs her id. It shows that she is licensed to carry concealed and that she has no criminal record.

“You have come up clean.” Richard hands the id’s back to Tammy.

“Thanks.” Tammy finishes up the paperwork on the computer.

She looks towards Richard “well, since I can’t get my guns now. How about six boxes of .45 ACP +P Tactical Bonded LE. Also, five boxes of Hydro shocks made by Federal as well.”

“I think I have them in stock.” Richard goes into the back of the store to get the ammo.

Tammy watches as Richard goes to get her ammo. She looks around the store. It has been months since she has been inside, and nothing has changed. She used to love coming up here and talk with Richard and the rest of the guys. Even the gun store she worked for, she had fun there as well.

“Here you go, Mrs. Vega.” Richard comes back out with all the ammo she wanted.

“Thanks, how much do I owe you?” Tammy puts her license away.

“Six hundred and thirty-five dollars.” Richards looks at Tammy.

“No problem.” She pulls her credit card out and pays for the ammo.

She couldn’t believe how much ammo has gone up. Maybe she should learn how to do her own reloads. She hands her card to Richard and watches as he swipes the card.

Richard swipes the card through the reader and hands it back to Tammy.

“Thanks.” Tammy accepts the card and put it back in her wallet.

“You’re welcome.” Richard bags up all the ammo and hands it to Tammy.

Tammy accepts the bag and walks out of the store. She knew she was going to either need to learn how to make silver bullets or magically enchant her bullets with magic. She checks her watch and notices it was getting close to when she normally eats lunch. She has noticed her appetite was increasing thanks to her pregnancy.

Tammy stops at a vegan restaurant has lunch there. She has noticed that her body prefers vegetables and such, over meat. She still likes meat, but if given the choice, she would choose vegetables.

While she is sitting outside enjoying her lunch. She notices two people fighting. One person was wearing armor that looked like something out of Star Wars. It was gray and dark blue. The other person was wearing some sort of black armor she has never seen before.

There is a loud booming sound and the person in the gray and dark blue armor comes flying towards Tammy. They land right on her table with a smoking hole in the chest area. The weapon that the person had been holding, lands a few feet from her.

The person in the black armor comes walking towards her and the injured person. He was carrying some sort of futuristic-looking rifle in his hand. He brings it up and aims it in Tammy’s direction.

Tammy pulls her gun from behind her and aims it at the opening of the rifle. She takes a simple breath and lets it out as she fires her gun at the opening. Just as that bullet leaves her gun, another follows as she shifts her aim towards the helmet on the person’s head.

The rifle explodes as the bullet sets off whatever ammo was in the barrel. As for her second bullet, it ricochets off the helmet. She watches as the rifle explodes, damaging the armor guy. He looks directly at her and gives her the middle finger as he flies off.

Tammy makes sure he is gone, before putting her gun back in its holster. She looks down at the person in the dark blue and gray armor. The design looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember what it resembled.

She looks at the smoking hole in the center of the chest. She could see some sort of charred black material inside the armor. She could also hear the sirens approaching. She scoops the person up off the broken table and grabs their weapon.

Tammy carries the person over to her jeep and lays her in the back seat. She secures her and lays her weapon on the floorboard. She finds the safety on the weapon and flicks it on. She gets in her Jeep and drives back to her and Leland’s place.

3525 Clam Dig Road, Los Angeles, California:
“Who’s our guest?” Leland watches as Tammy removes the body armor the person was wearing off their body.

“I don’t know, but you wouldn’t believe what they went up against.” Tammy slowly removes the body armor.

When she gets all the body armor off the person. She could see they were wearing some sort of black bodysuit underneath the armor. It had a spongy feel to it as she touches it. There was a hole where whatever hit the person had gone through the armor. The skin was burnt and blistered.

“I smell blood, an explosive residue, and some sort of propellant.

Tammy looks at the woman lying in front of her. She looked to be in her early teens. She looked to be about sixteen years old and had light brown hair, that came down to her shoulders. It had some curls to it.

“Hey Leland, can you help me get her out of this bodysuit. I don’t want to ruin it anymore than what it is already.” Tammy looks over towards her husband, who was standing in the doorway of the bedroom.

“Alright.” Leland walks into the bedroom and supports the unconscious girl. He could tell she was older than she looked.

Tammy starts striping the girl out of the bodysuit. She noticed that the girl wasn’t wearing a bra, because her chest wasn’t very developed. If she had to guess, she might be a B cup or a C cup. She looked to have a bust between 24-26 inches. She also noticed the young girl was wearing thong panties as well.

“Alright, you can lay her back down, Leland.” Tammy watches as Leland lays the young woman down.

She pulls out a few medical supplies and starts fixing the burn spot on the girl’s chest. Her teacher taught her how to make medical herbal salves and such. She also uses the normal ones as well. Once the salves and paste are on the burn. Tammy carefully wraps the wound, so the medicine can do its work.

When Tammy is done, she stands up and takes a picture of the girl's face, and head towards her desk. She uploads the picture to facial recognition software on her laptop and runs the image.

“I didn’t know you knew how to do that.” Leland was surprised that the memories he received from Tammy hadn’t let him know.

“There’s a lot you don’t know about me. We may have shared our memories. However, there are things I do keep secret.” Tammy places a kiss on Leland’s cheek.

Leland just shakes his head as he watches Tammy at work. She logs onto the software and runs the image through the system.

“How long does the system normally take?”

“Depends on our connection and what databases it has to access. I’m using three databases to find information.”

“What are they?” Leland was curious.

“National DMV database, news outlets, and central criminal database. Since I still have my Secret Service clearance.”

“If you didn’t have your Secret Service access, which database would you use?” Leland looks at Tammy.

“Mrs. Bounty has a computer company that she uses that has access to several databases. If I can’t find who this person is on the ones I normally do. I’ll send them the picture and let them run the image.”

After twenty minutes of running the image. Several matches come up on the DMV and news outlets.

“Hmm let's see what we have.” Tammy clicks on the information.

Nyx Ann Royce, 625 Old Timber Road, Savannah, Georgia, Age: 26, Sex: female

“Okay, she’s from Savannah, Georgia. Let’s see what the news has on her.” Tammy clicks on the link.

A picture of the young girl appears from an article done about her in Theater Props and Fortune 500 magazine. According to the article, she is the CEO and owner of two different companies. The first one specialized in military and civilian customizable body armor and weapons. The second article in the theater props shows her as being the designer and owner of custom body armor for cosplay play armor for movie companies or the average person.

It shows body armor from different sci-fi movies and some for cosplay players and such. She continues reading and finds out that Nyx belongs to a Mandalorian clan, called Fennic. Tammy looks up at her husband “it looks like our CEO here is into Star Wars live-action groups.”

“So, that explains her armor.” Leland looks at the design and it finally clicks why the design reminded him and Tammy of something.

The suit of armor was based on Mandalorian design from Star Wars. He wonders if she has gotten in trouble with Disney for using their design. He looks back at the young woman “why is she here in Los Angeles?”

“It seems, she was hired by Twilight Studios to provide technical assistant and armor for their next movie.” Tammy saw that the search had come across an article of Nyx’s prop company providing custom design armor for the movie.

“Any news of what happened this afternoon?” Leland wonders if what happened this afternoon made the news.

Tammy searches for the encounter that took place this afternoon while she was out. Her search turns up nothing.

“There’s nothing mention.” Tammy sits back in her office chair and just stares at her monitor.

“I wonder why she intervenes?” Leland sits down in a chair near Tammy’s.

“That is a good question. Also, what was that other armor? Because, looking at what she does and provides, it isn’t one of her designs.”
Tammy does some more searching on the internet, seeing if there was anything unusual going on this afternoon.

After a few misleads and stupid articles, she finally finds something to help her. The article was about a Defense Innovation Expo going on not far from where she was. On display were designs of personal body armor and power armor suits. One of the power armor suits on display was from a company called HAWK Innovations.

“I think I found where the other suit came from.” Tammy shows a picture of the suit from Hawk Innovation on display.

“Okay, so why did someone steal that suit and how did it happen?” Leland was curious as he looks at the armor.

“That is a good question and the only person who can answer it is in the spare bedroom unconscious.

Tammy and Leland were sitting on the sectional in the living room watching a television show. Leland was naked and was just wearing a pair of boxers. Tammy was curled up next to him and was wearing an oversized black t-shirt that had a smiley face on it with a bullet hole above the eyes. She wasn’t wearing any panties or a bra.

She loved having Leland’s arm wrapped around her shoulder, as she leaned against him. The television show they were watching was a cooking competition. Tammy learned that Leland loved cooking shows and cooking games like Guy’s grocery games and a few other shows.

She didn’t mind, because he put up with her watching shooting competition shows and a few law enforcement shows she liked. Her favorite was the SWAT television show and the movie with Samuel L Jackson in it.

“There hasn’t been any news about the firefight.” Tammy was surprised by the lack of news.

“Do you always go looking for trouble?” Leland looks at his wife.

“No, it seems to be able to find me. If you’re talking about that assignment I did in India. That was a revenge and mission statement. Britney's parents went too far.” Tammy learned a lot about Kat’s family.

That mission was scary and very violent. She knew she was very lucky that she had her hard armor on that day. If she hadn’t been wearing the armor, she would be dead right now.

“What am I going to do with you?” Leland places a kiss on Tammy’s cheek.

“Just keep loving me as you do.” Tammy returns the kiss.

Tammy looks at the clock and notices it was getting close to when they normally eat dinner. She didn’t want to leave Leland’s side, but she would need to.

“I’m going to go and fix us some dinner. Is there anything you want?” Tammy looks at her husband’s face.

“How about, instead of you fixing dinner. I’ll order out for us, instead?” Leland could feel that Tammy didn’t want to make dinner.

“You know, that is a very good idea. Also, let me guess, you’re going to order from the Golden Tiger?” Tammy knew Leland loved the Golden Tiger because the owner was a friend of his.

A big smile appears on Leland’s face. He knew Tammy has figured him out by now.” You're getting good at remembering what I like and such.”

“Well, it does help we are telepathically linked and that I know everything about you.” Tammy had a big ole smile on her face.

“Yeah, that does help.” A smile appears on Leland’s face.

Leland reaches for his cellphone and texts an order to Golden Tiger. That was the reason he loved the place. Their computer system allowed for texts message orders. He had a normal order he normally got whenever he ordered. He knew Tammy’s favorite food as well.

Tammy snuggles closer to Leland’s warm body. She noticed that he tends to run a little warmer than most men. She also figures it was the werecat genes in his DNA.

“Getting comfortable?” Leland looks at Tammy.

“Yes.” Tammy had a smile on her face.

Spare Bedroom:
Nyx slowly wakes up. She felt something pressing against her chest. She looks down and notices that her chest was wrapped. Where she got hit, felt numb. She looks around the room she was in and notices it was someone’s guest room.

She saw her bodysuit hanging over the back of a chair. She also noticed her body armor was on some sort of a stand. She saw the big hole in the middle of her chest armor. She was surprised that she survived the explosion to her chest. She knew the weapon used against her was experimental but didn’t realize it was so powerful.

She looks for her cellphone but doesn’t see it. She gets up and stumbles over to her helmet and puts it on.

“Computer, give me my current location.”

“Your current location is 3525 Clam Dig Road, Los Angeles, California.” A computerized female voice answers back.

“Show me what happened after I was hit.” Nyx knew her body armor kept recording after she is knocked unconscious.

She built her body armor to record everything after she got struck by lightning when she was younger. The only record she had of what
happened to her, was from what her mother had told her. So, from then on. She built a self-recording computer system in her body armor. That way, if she got hurt. She could go back over and see how she could prevent it from happening again.

She watches as a blonde hair woman fired at the other armor. She saw that her bullets bounced off the armor she had fought. The next thing she saw, was the blonde hair woman firing at the main weapon of the other armor. She watched as the weapon exploded from being hit.

“How did she do that?” Nyx was surprised at how the woman managed to destroy the other weapon that took her out.

Nyx keeps watching as the person and some humanoid cat person help move her unconscious form around. She couldn’t believe that what she was seeing. She heard rumors about beings like what she was seeing but thought they were just myths.

The HUD system alerts her that a person was coming towards the bedroom. She takes the helmet off and places it back where it was. Afterward, she lays back down in the bed and waits for whoever it was.

Tammy had decided to go and check on their guest. Leland informed her, that the food should be delivered soon. She opens the door to the guest room and steps inside. She walks over to the person laying on the bed.

“Let’s see how you are doing,” Tammy mumbles a few words her teacher taught her.

She feels her hand tingle as the mystical energies respond to her. She feels that the condition of the person was responding to the healing herbs she applied. She also feels that the person was awake.

“You can stop faking, your asleep.” Tammy removes her hand from the person’s chest.

Nyx opens her eyes and looks up at the blonde-haired woman. How did she know she was faking it. She also noticed the lady was wearing nothing but an oversized black t-shirt with a smiley face with a bullet hole above the eyes.

“Thanks for saving me. I do have one question for you, why?” Nyx watches the woman’s facial expression.

“Why? Well, for one thing. You were injured and needed medical help. Secondly, trouble just follows me around. So, it's natural for me to help a person.”

“Well, thank you.” Nyx didn’t want to let on that she knew a little more.

“Look, it's none of my business, but why were you going after the other armor?” Tammy was curious.

Nyx sits up carefully in bed “in the wrong hands, it's very dangerous. Plus, no one else there was capable of stopping it.”

“And you are?” Tammy looks at Nyx with a questionable look on her face.

“Yes, I’m familiar with how that suit of body armor was designed and built. Also, there aren’t very many people who know about hi-tech body armor.

“Well, if you're hungry. My husband has some food being delivered. So, if you are up to it. Come on downstairs with me.”

“Alright.” Nyx stands up off the bed.

Tammy escorts Nyx downstairs to the living room.

Nyx watches as Tammy and Leland ate. She couldn’t believe how much food Leland was able to pack away all by himself. Tammy, on the other hand, managed to eat twice the amount she ate, easily.

“Where do you put all this food?” Nyx looks at Leland as he ate the last eggroll.

Leland looks towards Nyx “same place you do.” A smile appears on his face.

“Right. So, what exactly do the two of you do and how did you manage to damage that stolen suit?”

“Well, besides being married to each other. We’re security contractors that work for Chaos Private Security.” Tammy takes a bite from her beef stir fry.

“So, you two work for a Private Security Contracting company?” Nyx has heard of them but never met anyone who did that type of work.

“Yes. As for how I managed to damage that other suit of armor. I’m a sharpshooter and shooting at the opening of that weapon. It was no more difficult for me than shooting a quarter falling from the sky.” Tammy finishes her stir fry.

“Now, why don’t you tell us, what is so special about that other armor?” Leland looks at Nyx for an answer.

“Well, for one. That other armor is built to be a one-man unit out in the field. It has an experimental rapid-fire gyro-jet fire.”

“I thought gyro-jet rounds were rocket-powered rounds. How could you turn something like that into a rapid-fire system?” Tammy was curious how they did it.

“Well, as you know. Rocket technology has improved since it was first designed. So, they can launch these faster without any delay.”

“Okay, so it has an improved gyro-jet launcher. What else is it capable of?” Leland wanted to know more about what Tammy encountered.

“It’s heavily armored. You would need a rocket launcher to damage the suit. It’s impervious to all firearms and rifles, including a .50 caliber snapping rifle and minigun.”

“How was it capable of jumping away as it did?” Tammy remembered the suit of armor jumping away.

“Have you ever watched the movie Armageddon?” Nyx watches Leland and Tammy’s reaction.

“Yeah, we have seen the movie. Why?” Tammy was puzzled how that had anything to do with the armor.

“Remember the scene when Bear and the guys were being informed about their spacesuits?” Nyx figures it was the best way to describe the armor.

“I remembered that scene.The female astronaut asked Bear what would happen if she kicked him in balls, while on the moon.” Tammy loved that part of the movie.

“Yeah, and you remember what the astronaut said about having to use the MRUs on the suit to move around?”

“Yeah, I remember that part of the film.” Tammy could recall the whole movie.

“So, you’re saying that suit of armor has jump jets?” Leland figures that would be the best way to describe it.

“Yes. The wearer can use those built-in jets, to jump large crevice or long distance.” Nyx heard the sales pitch while she was at the convention.

“So, why was the suit stolen?” Tammy was puzzled about that.

“That is the million-dollar question. Whatever they are going to use it for, means that it's something of importance. Even some of my armors aren’t capable of stopping it.” Nyx knew she had nothing that could stand up to the other armor.

“I noticed that. I’m surprised you survived that blast to your chest.” Tammy was surprised Nyx was still alive after being hit like she was.

“That’s because my armor is well made, and I belong to a LARP clan of Mandalorians. So, my armor is made to a higher standard.”

Leland just smirks when he hears Nyx admit that she belongs to the LARP clan. He has seen some of these LARP groups and they took things very seriously. Some of them even pretended to be supernatural creatures. Some vampires he had to hunt down, had been preying on certain groups that pretended to be a vampire kiss.

The vampires he went after were going to turn everyone in that LARP group into vampires. Some of them he learned would be willing to become vampires. Some of them tried to stop him.

Nyx noticed the smirk on Leland’s face “let me guess, you think anyone in a LARP is crazy?”

“I didn’t say that. Certain groups make sense and some just go too far with it.”

“I agree with you on the second part of your statement. In the group I belong to, we try to live up to the code we set. We have worked with other groups/clans that are Mandalorians and a few that follow the Jedi’s code as well.”

“Well, I hate to interrupt this discussion about LARP groups, but we need to find that suit of armor before someone else gets hurt.” Tammy
looks at Nyx since she seems to be more knowledgeable about it.

“Since you damaged it. It’s going to need material to repair itself. I can make a list of places that carry the material, and we could stake out the
place.” Nyx knew Tammy damaged the other armor.

“What do you need to begin?” Leland figured he and Tammy could get whatever Nyx would need.

“I just need to head back to my hotel room and retrieve my laptop to look up who supplies the material here in California.”

“Do you know if the company that built that armor is going to go looking for it?” Tammy knew she would if it was her company.

“More than likely and if they don’t. The military will assign someone to look for it. It was built using DOD funds.”

“Sounds like we have a mystery on our hands. I think tomorrow will be very interesting.” Leland could tell his wife was interested in this case.

"Well, I think this is something we can do tomorrow." Tammy looks at the empty containers sitting on the living room table.

She gets up and start cleaning up. She moves carefully, so not to flash Nyx, since she isn't wearing any panties.

“Mmmm!! That feels so good.” Tammy leans back against Leland as they take a shower together.

Last night, they didn’t have any sex or anything. They had woken up and instead of taking separate showers, they decided to take a shower together. Tammy loved feeling her husband massage her big breasts, as she leans against his chest. She was smaller in stature to him and loved what he was doing to her.

She turns around in his strong arms jumps up and wraps her legs around his waist. She starts kissing him as her wet hair hangs down plastered against her head and shoulder. She kisses down his neck and buries her teeth into his flesh. She wanted to leave her petite teeth marks on his collar bone since he likes leaving his teeth marks on the top of her breasts.

After she marks Leland, and he marks her. She drops down off his waist and gives him a good morning treat. When they get out of the shower, Leland had a huge smile on his face and Tammy was licking her lips.

“You’re in a frisky mood this morning.” Leland places a kiss on Tammy’s cheek.

“I’m feeling energized for some reason.” She walks over to her make-up table and blow-dries her shoulder-length blonde hair.

She could use what magic she knew to instantly dry her hair, but she didn’t want to. She brushes her hair and uses it to hide her elven ears.

“What outfit should I wear today?” Tammy looks at Leland for an answer.

“Well, you could wear the bulletproof suit Mrs. Bounty gave you or you could wear your favorites leathers. However, remember we are going to
go and investigate where that armor came from.” Leland figures that the convention hall where the armor had been on display would be a good place to start.

“That means, I’ll have to use my Secret Service credentials. I don’t know if they are still legal.” Tammy needs to get with Mrs. Bounty about getting new credentials.

“Unless they call to verify them. We should be okay.” Leland still had his credentials as well.

“I hope so.” Tammy gets dressed in the custom tailor business suit she wore when she was working as a bodyguard in Washington D.C.

She grabs the sunglasses that went with the suit and put her two XD’s in their holsters. She kept one under her suit Jacket and carried the second one in the hidden holster behind her back. She also grabs a few throwing knives and places them in their hidden compartment. She looks at her reflection to make sure she looked professional.

Leland stands behind her “you look like a typical government badass.”

“I guess, that we are taking your SUV then?” Tammy looks at Leland’s reflection standing behind her.

“They would expect that.” Leland has dealt with government agents before.

“You’re right about that. Let’s see if Nyx is ready.” Tammy had given Nyx some clothes last night she could wear today. If the clothes didn’t fit, she used her magic to adjust them.

Nyx had gotten up early took a shower. The healing salve Tammy placed on her chest last night before she went to bed, had healed her wound
better. The wound she had was almost completely healed.

She was downstairs in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying a banana nut muffin. She was from Georgia, but the muffins there didn’t taste anything like the one she was eating now. She loved how the muffin tasted and how rich the coffee tasted.

Nyx looks up when Leland and Tammy come walking into the kitchen. They were dressed in black business suits and looked like they were government agents.

“You know something if I didn’t know you two. I would say you are government agents.” Nyx has seen her share of government agents.

“Thanks. Hopefully, the people at the convention hall will believe we are.” Tammy walks over to the coffee machine and brews herself some coffee. She grabs a thermal cup for Leland and brews his coffee as well.

“The hotel I’m staying at isn’t too far from the convention hall. You guys can drop me off and I’ll meet you there.” Nyx figures she’ll go by her hotel room to grab her laptop.

“Alright.”

Nyx watches as Leland drives from the backseat. She wonders how he became what he was because she always thought the stories she heard were just myths. That there wasn’t any truth to them. She noticed that Tammy liked listening to country music as they drove towards the convention hall. The song currently playing over the radio was by Cowboy Troy called My Last Yeehaw which also featured Big & Rich.

Leland pulls up in front of the hotel Nyx is staying at. Leland turns and looks at Nyx “be careful and try to stay out of trouble.”

“Hey, who would want to come after me?” Nyx just smiles as she gets out of the SUV and heads inside towards the hotel.

“I hope we can bluff our way inside the convention hall.” Tammy was a little worried.

“Just act like you did when we were in Washington D.C., sweetie. No one will question why we are there.” Leland drives over to the convention hall.

When they pull into the parking lot, they could see that the other armor did a job on the place. They were stopped by a police officer before they could go any further. They had to show their Secret Service credentials to the police officer.

“Man, how many of you government agents are going to investigate this place?” Officer Bush couldn’t believe how many government agents have come and gone from the site.

“You know how it is. We all have our fingers in this mess and the higher-ups want this solved as soon as possible.” Leland did the talking, while Tammy listened.

“Well, you guys got your work cut out for you.” Officer Bush knew the forensics team has already been over everything.

“Hopefully, we’ll find out who is responsible for this mess.” Leland was watching Officer Bush.

“Good luck on that.” Officer Bush lets Leland and Tammy pass.

Leland finds a parking space and parks the SUV. He turns the vehicle off and turns to look at Tammy “you ready for this?”

“I’m ready. Let’s go and see if we can find out who did this.” Tammy gets out and waits for Leland to join her.

The two of them walk together inside the place and couldn’t believe the damage that had been done. Leland inhales the air and nearly chokes on the scents still in the air. He coughs to clear his throat.

“Are you alright?” Tammy was concerned.

“Yeah, I got so many scents and the gunpowder residue still hanging in the air.” Leland heads to where the armor had been on display.

He looks around and could tell just from looking that this had been an inside job. He kneels where the armor had been on display and spots around that had been overlooked. He picks it up and takes a sniff of it. There was a scent, but it wasn’t anyone he recognized.

Tammy looked around as well. She tries to get access to the security footage. It took some convincing to talk to the security captain who is giving her access to the security footage. Tammy makes sure to make a copy of the footage. When no one is watching, she uses a spell her
teacher taught her. It gave her the ability to see past events, but she had to define how far back she could see.

She watches past events leading up to when the armor was taken out of the convention hall. She notices that the person came from the back area. She’ll have to ask Nyx what was back there, but then decide to check it out herself.

She walks back towards the area and saw that it lead to a loading area. Tammy walks over to the door near the loading area and checks it out. It had a standard deadlock, lock that you would need a key for. She knew she could have easily picked the lock. She checks outside and
notices there were at least three security cameras that looked down at the loading door and to the door, she just came out of. She walks back inside and heads back to the security office. She spots the security officer on duty “do you have the footage for the cameras outside the loading bay and the door next to them?”

“It’s in that footage I already gave you a copy of.” Officer Anderson looks at the big-chested agent.

“Show it to me again.” Tammy walks over to the monitors.

Officer Anderson brings up the camera footage of that day. The loading doors were opened as people were moving in and out. As she continues to watch the video, the footage starts going all blurry.

“Stop. What is causing this blurriness?” Tammy looks at Security Officer Anderson for an answer.

“I don’t know, but it clears up after a few minutes.” Security Officer Anderson continues the video and true to his words, the video clears up.

“Make me an extra copy of that.” Tammy hands another flash drive to security officer Anderson.

“Yes ma’am.” Security Officer Anderson makes an extra copy of the video footage.

Nyx changes out her chest plate for her armor. She’ll have to rebuild her older armor chest plate. While she is getting the replacement, she runs the list of local supply places you could get what was needed. She knew that the material needed to repair the other armor was special.

It was going to require specialized equipment as well. She does some research to see if she could locate some companies that would either carry the equipment. A long list appears on her computer screen. She tries narrowing it down, but there were just too many places.

A message from a member of her LARP group appears on her computer screen. It was Sabrina from House Vizsla.

“Nyx, are you alright?” Sabrina saw some footage that had leaked online.

“I’m fine. How did you find out that I had been hurt?” Nyx was curious.

“Some footage of you showed up on the dark web. Who was the woman that saved you?” Sabrina had been impressed with her shot.

“Her name is Tammy Vega and she’s a sharpshooter.” Nyx was impressed with the shot she did.

“Well, that was a hell of shot she did. I’ve never seen anyone do anything like that before.” Sabrina has gone to a few shootings competition because of her cousin.

“Yeah, she’s a hell of a sharpshooter. Hey, do you know who could have stolen that armor?” Nyx figures she could ask Sabrina because she kept up with development like that.

“Not really. Hawk Innovations doesn’t put out a lot on what they are working on. They try to keep everything in-house, but I might know someone inside their organization. Do you want me to do some snooping around?” Sabrina didn’t mind helping Nyx out.

“If it’s not too much trouble.” Nyx didn’t want her fellow house member to get in trouble.

“Hey, I’m a Mandalorian. Trouble is what we do.” Sabrina likes being a Mandalorian, even if it is make-believe.

“Just be careful. Do you need anything special for your armor?” Nyx didn’t mind helping a fellow clan member.

“Nope, but I was contacted by a member of Boogie Storm, and they want to know if you wouldn’t mind making several more suits of Storm
Trooper armor for them?” Sabrina had several friends that were dancers in their group.

“Not at all. Just send me the sizes of the wearer so I can custom fit the armor to them.” Nyx has met a few members of Boogie Storm. They were pretty good dancers.

“Alright. I’ll get in touch with you later.” Sabrina logs off.

Nyx downloads the information she has and heads towards the convention center. She had footage there from one of her display units she can get and analyze. She grabs a drink on the way to drink.

Defense Innovation Expo, Convention Center:
Nyx had to show her badge that she was issued when she entered her equipment to enter the place. As she approached her display, she spots Leland at the Wolf display site looking around. She doesn’t see Tammy anywhere. She retrieves the security footage from her display and walks over to Leland.

“Find anything?” Nyx looks at Leland for an answer.

“A few clues, not a lot. How about you?” Leland knew Nyx was supposed to do some research on places or equipment that the person would need to fix the damage Tammy did to it.

“I have a list of possible sources.”

“How long will it take to check them out?” Leland wonders if he should have some of his Pride mates check them out.

“About a day or so. It might be good to see which ones are nearby first and then check the isolated ones and by themselves.” Nyx figures they
could narrow the search some that way.

“Sounds good.” Leland looks around for Tammy and spots her walking towards them.

“Find anything?” Tammy looks towards Nyx and Leland.

“A few things. I pulled the security footage from my company display to see if I can spot anything.

“You had a security device at your display?” Tammy looks at Nyx with a puzzled look on her face.

“Yes, it allows me to see who was truly interested in my stuff and who was just browsing or investigating how made my items.” Nyx wanted to make sure no one copied her designs or process.

“Well, there’s not much we can do here. Let’s go ahead and leave.” Leland figures they weren’t going to find anything else at the place.

“Sounds good to me.” Nyx already contacted some of her people to come in and pack up her stuff to ship back to Georgia.

The three of them walk out of the convention center and head towards Leland’s SUV. As they are walking towards the SUV, a black SUV comes charging towards them. Leland wasn’t worried about himself, because he could take the hit. He pushes Nyx and Tammy out of the way.

He manages to jump onto the front of the SUV. There are guns shots as Tammy pulls her guns and starts firing at the SUV. The windows on the SUV shatter as the driver manages to shake Leland off the front of the SUV.

Leland lands on his feet like it was nothing. He looks towards the back of the SUV and memorizes the license plates. Tammy tries shooting out the tires but misses.

“DAMN!” Tammy watches as the SUV speeds off.

Tammy puts her guns away when she notices Leland standing near her. She looks at him “did you memorize the license plate number?”

“Yep, I got it.” The cat inside Leland was pissed because their prey got away.

“Looks like someone is interested in us.” Nyx figured it had to be whoever stole the armor.

“I would say so. We need answers.” Tammy looks at Leland.

“I know someone who can help us.” Leland knew a person who could run the plates.

“Who is it?” Tammy was curious now.

“You’ll see.” Leland takes Tammy’s hand and escorts her to his SUV.

Boogie Storm AGT:

Tammy snuggles closer to Leland as he slept. They spent last night going over the security footage and didn’t learn anything. The footage Nyx had was scrambled as well. They need to give the footage to someone who could unscramble it.

Normally, she would have Becky work on it. But Becky and her wife Sunny were visiting her folks. Nyx had gone back to her hotel room and was seeing if she could reach a friend of hers back in Georgia. According to what Nyx told them, this friend of hers was extremely good at de-scrambling videos and such.

She gets up out of bed and heads towards the bathroom. Her bladder felt full as she sits down on the toilet. As she is sitting there peeing, she could smell that the ph balance from her urine has changed. She has been following the prenatal routine Nata had her on.

Once Tammy is done peeing, she gets up and steps into the shower. She made sure to set it as she lets the water warm up. She steps underneath the water and enjoys it as it cascades down her body. She loved feeling it moving over her body. She rubs the homemade soap over her body.

As she is showering, she hears Leland moving around and coming into the bathroom. A smirk appears on her face as she listens to his pee. It sounded like a firehose as it hit inside the toilet.

“Mind if I join you?” Leland asks before entering the shower.

“Not at all.” Tammy didn’t mind Leland joining her.

Leland steps into the shower with Tammy. He feels her hands as she starts soaping up his back and such. He closes his eyes as he enjoys her hands roaming over his body. Even his cat was enjoying feeling his mate’s hands on his body.

A smile appears on Tammy’s face when she hears a purring sound coming from him. She wraps her arms around his chest and presses her breasts against his back. She was short compared to him.

She places kisses on his back and shoulder. After a few minutes, he turns around in her arms and starts kissing her. She jumps up and lowers herself onto his thick shaft as she wraps her legs around his waist.

The two of them make love inside the shower. By the time the water turned cold. They get out of the shower and head towards the bedroom to get dressed.

“Do you think your friend will be able to trace that license plate number?” Tammy looks at Leland as he gets dressed.

“I hope she will.” Leland hopes his contact at the DMV will be able to get something for them.

Leland spots Tammy putting on her leather bustier. He walks over and tightens it for her. He knew since she has been changed, she liked wearing leathers. Also, the leather bustier gave her better support for her big breasts, instead of wearing a bra.

“Let’s go see my contact.” Leland gets dressed as well. Today he was dressed down.

Leland and Tammy walk down to his Suv and get in. Tammy puts her sunglasses on as she buckles up. She watches as Leland drives them to where his contact worked. She normally avoided DMV because of how much time they took to help people.

Tammy reaches over and locates the radio station she likes to listen to. She knew the driver normally tuned the radio to their favorite station, but she knew Leland didn’t care. She starts singing along to one of her favorite songs.

Leland just shakes his head as he listens to Tammy singing. She wasn’t off-key or miss any words to the song. He could feel her enjoying the music through their link.

After a while and several songs later. They arrive at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Leland finds a parking spot in the third row of the parking lot. When he turns the engine off, he looks at Tammy “ready to wait for a while?”

“I got my kindle with me.” Tammy put it in her purse, along with her other gun.

The two of them get out of the SUV and walk towards the building. Leland saw that they were going to be a while from looking through the tinted glass windows. He needs to find a better way to talk with Angie.

They wait in line for about twenty minutes as the line slowly moved into the building. Tammy just tries to be patient as she stood next to her husband. She feels Leland take her hand into his.

“Patience isn’t one of your strong points, is it?”

“It depends on what the situation is. There are times where patience is a virtue.” Tammy found that out while learning from Nata.

They finally make it to the information desk where Leland tells the person manning it what he was there for. A number is given to him, as he picks up a clipboard to make it look good. They look for a couple of seats near the front and find four chairs available. Leland escorts Tammy over to them and sits down.

Tammy sits on Leland’s lap instead, of sitting on the chair.

“What are you doing?” Leland had his arm around Tammy’s waist.

“Sitting on your lap.” A playful smile appears on her face.

Leland just holds Tammy by her waist as they watch as the numbers are given out appear on a computerized board. He runs his fingers under Tammy’s waistband and strokes her side.

“Stop that. I’m ticklish there.” Tammy was ticklish on her side.

After fifteen minutes, the number Leland had, is finally up. He stands up after, Tammy got off his lap and walk over to the person he needed to see. A smile appears on his face “hi, Kathlyn. How has your morning been?”

Kathlyn looks at Leland as he walks up to her station. She noticed that he had a blonde hair beautiful woman with him. She hasn’t seen her before.

“Busy, what brings you down here today?” Kathlyn notices that the woman with Leland had on a wedding ring.

“I need for you to run a license plate for me, please.” Leland pulls a piece of paper out of his pants pocket and places it in front of Kathlyn.

Kathlyn looks at the piece of paper and types in the license plate number. She watches as the vehicle it belongs to, appear on her screen. She notices that the plate was reported stolen just this morning.

“Well, I have some good news and some bad news.” Kathlyn looks at Leland and the woman standing near him.

“Give me the bad news first.”

“The tag was reported stolen this morning. The good news is, that it belongs to Ted Albright at 5646 Freewheel St. Los Angeles, California.”

“Thanks.” Tammy recorded what Kathlyn told them.

“You’re welcome. Is there anything else I can help you with today?” Kathlyn had to play up the customer service aspect of her job.

“No, you’ve been a big help. Have a nice day.” Leland turns and starts walking towards the entrance.

Once they exit the building “so, what do you want to do now?”

“Do you happen to know anyone who would have stolen a license plate?” Tammy knew what they just learned wasn’t going to help them much.

“I do know a couple of car thieves, but let’s go and talk to this Mr. Albright.” Leland wanted to see if they could get something.

“You’re the driver.” Tammy follows her husband to his SUV.

Nyx’s Hotel Room:
Nyx looks at the time on her laptop and couldn’t believe she has been up since four in the morning. She just couldn’t sleep because of what was going on. They need to find who stole that power armor. She sent the security footage she had to her friend, and he said it was going to take at least a day for him to get back to her.

Tammy and Leland had said they were going to check out a possible lead they had this morning. While they were doing that. She was going to check out the locations that could be used to fix the armor Tammy damaged. She walks into the bathroom and takes a shower.

As she is washing her body, she is still amazed at what the lightning had done to her body. Somehow, the lightning had supercharged the hormones she was taken from overseas. It completely rewrote her DNA with the DNA she had inherited from the bone marrow she had been given. She knew the bone marrow had rewritten some of her DNA, but when the lightning struck her, it caused it to completely rewrite her DNA and turn her into a woman. Not that she was complaining. She has always wanted to be a woman.

After she finishes with her shower and blow-drying her hair. She gets dressed and grabs her purse and rental car keys. She looks over towards her body armor and wonder should she take it. After thinking for a while, she grabs the gym bag she normally transported her body armor and jet pack in and takes it down to the car.

She would rather be safe than sorry. She walks down to where the SUV she rented was and puts her body armor in it and her portable tablet on the passenger seat. She mounts her cellphone and brings up the address of the first place she should check out.

Several Hours Later:
Nyx looks out towards the beach as she sits on a bench eating her lunch. So, far she has checked out four possible sites. None of the sites she went to had anyone come asking about the items she asked them about. She takes another bite from the burrito she had gotten from one of the food trucks. She had two more places she needs to check out.

She finishes her lunch and walks back to her SUV. Because of how high gas was in California she had rented a hybrid SUV. She gets in to check to see which of the two places were near her. The nearest one wasn’t far from where she was. So, Nyx fastens her seat belt and drives towards the place.

It takes her about forty minutes to arrive at the location. She notices the place was out of business. Nyx parks nearby and put on her body armor. She grabs the custom-made rifle that she had on display at the emporium. Since the emporium is over, she could use it to give her an edge against the other armor.

She moves quickly and quietly to the nearest window to see if there was anyone inside the place. She doesn’t see anyone inside, so Nyx finds a door and pulls out a small laser pen. It was powerful enough to cut through the lock and after that it was useless. She manages to cut
through the lock and open the door. She puts the laser pen back on her web belt and quietly walks inside the place. Whatever equipment that use to be here has been removed already.

She explores the place but finds nothing. It looked like no one has been inside the place for ages. She slings the rifle she brought with her and just stands in the open space looking around. That leaves one more place and it was going to take her a while to get there.

As she starts making her way to the door she came through. She is attacked by two with AR15s. The bullets bounce off her body armor as she continues to walk towards them.

“Here fellows, let’s see if you like my gun.” Nyx unslings the rifle and fires two rounds from it.

The rounds land behind the men and explode. The two men come flying forward because of the explosions. Nyx points the rifle at the two men “now, you’re not hurt. However, I can change that with the next round in this rifle.”

Nyx knew the round in the magazine was a lethal one and it would blow a hole in these unarmored men. She designed the round to penetrate armor cars and bulletproof vests. She figures she might stand a chance with this rifle against the other armor.

“Now, you’re going to tell me why you just tried to kill me.”

Nyx points the rifle at their heads. She wouldn’t kill these men, but she would make them regret coming after her.

“Start talking!”

“Go to hell, bitch!” The guy reaches into his pants pocket and tosses something at Nyx.

Just as it hits her, she is thrown off her feet. The two guys that were laying on the ground, get up and runoff.

“Son of bitch!” Nyx figures if she hadn’t been wearing her body armor, it would hurt more.

She gets up off the ground and watches as they speed off. She could chase after them with her backpack, but she would be limited how far she could chase after them. It was good her body armor recorded everything. She walks back to her SUV after she picks up the weapons they left behind. The men were in such a hurry, that they left their weapons.

She takes her body armor off and stores it in the SUV. On the way back to her hotel room. She stops at a science store and picks up a cheap fingerprinting kit. She learned how to lift fingerprints from an online criminal justice course she took for her degree.

She dusts the gun with the powder and finds several fingerprints. She uses tape to carefully lift them and put them on a card. She does both guns and afterward, she logs onto the site she uses to do background searches of the employees she hires.

She knew the search will take a while, so she watches as the search continues. While the search continues, she logs onto another site and sees if there are any cameras in the area of the last building she didn’t go by. She finds a few cameras owned by the city that looked down at the building. She tries to hack them and after several failed attempts. She manages to break into the system.

Just as she hacks into the California camera system, the background check program she used id the fingerprints. She looks at the report and lets out a low whistle. They had a record that was a mile long. She was even more surprised when she looked at who they were affiliated with. She has heard rumors about Scorpio, but she has never met any members from that organization.

She wonders if Tammy and her husband have heard of them before? She goes back to the camera access she has and goes back a day or so to see if anyone had shown up at the address. As Nyx continued to watch the footage. She spots the four people there moving some crates from the building to a moving truck. She wonders what they had shipped there? And why did they move it?

Nyx looks at the time and wonder when her friend was going to contact her.

Leland and Tammy:
Leland pulls up a few houses down from 5646 Freewheel St. The two of them notice that the houses in this area were expensive. Tammy looks at Leland “what do you think?”

“I’m thinking that Ted Albright might not be home.” Leland gets out of the Suv.

He walks side by side with Tammy as they walk up the sidewalk to house 5646. Tammy knocks on the front door. No one answers on the first knock. Tammy knocks again and after a few minutes the door opens and standing in the doorway is an elder man.

The guy looked like a strong wind could blow him down. He was using a cane and had silver rim glasses on. He looks at them “what can I do for you?”

“Hi, Mr. Albright. I was told you had a vehicle for sale. Is it alright if I look at it?” Tammy was trying to charm the old man.

“I wish I could help you, young lady. But the vehicle I had for sale, was stolen sometime yesterday. I didn’t notice it, until this morning when I went out to start it for a person interested in it.” Mr. Albright looks at the gentleman standing near the young woman.

“You said you didn’t notice it was stolen until this morning? Where do you store the vehicle, sir?” Leland was suspicious.

“Right there in the driveway. Someone came up and took it during the night without me or my neighbors knowing.” Leland could tell that the person was telling the truth.

“Did you report it to the police, sir?” Tammy looks at Mr. Albright.

“Yes, I did. I even called DMV to report it at well.”

“Why did you call DMV?” Tammy was puzzled.

“Just in case whoever stole my vehicle got in an accident.” Mr. Albright didn’t want this to come back to bite him in the ass.

“Thank you for your time, Mr. Albright.” Tammy turns to leave.

As she and Leland are walking back to Leland’s Suv “not totally. I managed to get a good whiff of the scent left behind. Now I know who it is.”

Nyx’s Hotel room:
Nyx just fell asleep a couple of hours ago. She had stayed up talking with Sabrina and learned a few things about Hawk Innovations. One of their top engineers named Jason Bush who helped design the power armor unit had been fired from the company. He stole the blueprints to the armor and was using the working model as a demonstration of what it could do.

According to the security footage she got back from her friend. A guy by the name of Keith Lupin IV was the one responsible for the thief of the armor. He was known among the underground as being able to steal anything hi-tech. He was wanted in several countries for stealing one-of-a-kind projects or vehicles.

He once stole an aircraft from the Chinese military and sold it to a collector that had hired him. He was known to be able to get anything for the right price. He was also hard to catch and slippery as well.

She had set her alarm clock for noontime. She sent a text message early this morning to Leland and Tammy informing them what she found out. Also, she might have a clue where the armor might be. During her research, she finds out that there is a warehouse where Jason Bush might be hiding out and making repairs to the armor.

She needs to confirm if the address she had was correct. According to the history of the place, Mr. Bush’s uncle owned the building, and he once had a thriving business there. However, due to situations that Bush’s uncle couldn’t control. He was forced to close the company.

Leland’s and Tammy’s Place:
Tammy wakes up and feels Leland laying on top of her body. She was straddling a body pillow, while Leland was laying on her back on the floor. His cat came out last night and wanted to have fun with her. Her shoulder had teeth marks where he bite her, while he mounted her.

She spots her cellphone laying nearby and reaches for it. She didn’t want to wake Leland. She looks at the screen and notices she got a message from an old street racer friend of hers named Teeny. She had given a mutual friend of theirs, that she wanted to talk with her.

She dials the number Teeny sent to her. She wasn’t going to push Leland off her body.

Cooter’s Garage:
Teeny was sitting on her mechanic's chair as she replaced the rotor and brake pads. Whoever this car belonged to; they rode the damn brakes. She hated when people did that

As she was putting everything back together, her cellphone starts playing the theme song to the Dukes of Hazzard. She picks her cellphone up to look at who was calling her. She notices it was her friend Tammy. A smile appears on her face as she answers “crazy Cooter here. What can I do for you?”

“Hey, Teeny. So, what did you find out?” Tammy figures Teeny would know if anything was stolen from Ted Albright. She knew most of the chop shops around.

“Good morning to you as well, Tammy.”

“Sorry, Teeny. Good morning to you. So, what have you found out about that SUV I texted you about?” Tammy knew how Teeny was.

“Well, no one around that I know stole the SUV you inquired about. None of the chop shops has seen it. But I did learn that it had some work done at a shop that specializes in certain upgrades.” Teeny knew the person who did the special upgrades.

“Can you give me the name of the place and who did the work?” Tammy switches her screen over to note pad.

“Sure, the name of the place is called The Pit and the person you want is Dick Rollie. He did the work on the vehicle. Also, as I said, the vehicle wasn’t stolen.”

“But DMV said it was reported as stolen.” Tammy knew because she was there with Leland.

“They switched out the VIN. The SUV you are looking for has a different vin.” Teeny knew how the game was played.

“Great. Thanks for helping me. How about we get together for lunch sometime this week?”

“As long as you are buying.” Teeny hasn’t seen Tammy in months, since she left for some type of special training.

“Deal. I’ll call you for the location where we can meet.”

“Okay.” Teeny ends the call.

Tammy slides out from under Leland’s body and heads towards the bathroom. She does her morning business and takes a shower. She figures Leland is going to be asleep for a while.

After she is done with her shower and slipping on a pair of shorts and a faux leather corset. She runs a brush through her long hair and ties it back into a ponytail. She knew Leland was going to be hungry when he did finally wake up.

She walks into the kitchen and starts fixing some breakfast for her and Leland. Nyx informed them that she was going to be sleeping this morning. She had sent the text early this morning, while they were asleep.

Tammy starts cooking some breakfast for her and Leland. Since Leland was a big meat eater, she cooks up some of the fresh bratwursts. She also cooks up some hash and eggs as well.

“Mmmm, something smells wonderful in here.” Leland comes walking into the kitchen.

He was wearing just a pair of boxers. His chiseled chest was hairless, and his muscles were well defined.

“I’m glad you are you.” Tammy looks at her husband and her hormones increase just from looking at him.

An evil smile appears on Leland’s face because he could smell the arousal coming from Tammy. Not only could he smell how aroused she was, but he felt how she felt as well.

“Me too. I heard you talking this morning. What did Nyx find out?” Leland sits down at the counter.

“It wasn’t Nyx, but an old friend of mine named Teeny. She said that we got played by Mr. Albright. The SUV he said that was stolen, wasn’t the true SUV. They swap the VINs.”

“How does she know that?”

“Because it had some work done at a place called The Pit.” Tammy starts brewing some coffee for herself and Leland.

“I guess we are going to need to visit the place and see what we can find out.” Leland watches Tammy as she moves around the kitchen.

“Don’t forget, we need to talk with Nyx as well.” Tammy eats a piece of bacon she cooked.

“I haven’t forgotten. Did you talk with Gina yet?” Leland knew Gina Bounty had something going on.

“No, not yet. She said to call her back in a few days. The situation with Julia has been handled, but there were still things going on. I feel sorry
for whoever pissed the Bounty family off.”

“Not me. Everything I have learned about that family and their father. You don’t want someone that connected or dangerous to be on your bad side.” Leland has been hearing rumors lately about changes going on in the supernatural community.

Tammy serves Leland some breakfast.

The Pit:
Nyx, Leland, and Tammy pull up to the garage called The Pit. The building itself was old but had a fresh paint job and some custom designs on it.

“It looks like they are doing good.” Tammy could see at least five vehicles on lifts.

All three of them exit from the SUV they came in and as they approach the place. Leland stops as he spots a heavily built Mexican guy walking
towards them.

“How can I help you?” Santiago had spotted a black SUV pull up into his parking lot.

As he was watching the SUV, two women and one muscular guy had gotten out of it. One woman looked rather tall and had big breasts. She was wearing leather pants that looked like they were painted onto her. She was also wearing a leather corset that supported her round breast.

The other woman standing next to the blonde hair woman. She looked like she could be the girl next door. She kind of looked out of place with the other two people.

“We’re looking to get some specialized work done to my SUV.” Leland was watching the big guy in front of him.

“What type of work would you like done?” Santiago looks at the SUV they had arrived in.

“A hidden gun safe, a few compartments where we can hide small items from the law.” Leland knew what he wanted to be done to the SUV.

“Why don’t you come inside my office, and we’ll talk about the price.” Santiago looks at Leland when he says that.

“Sounds good to me.” A smile appears on Leland’s face.

Nyx and Tammy follow behind Leland as they start walking into the shop. Tammy could feel that Leland was sniffing the air as they walked into the garage. She feels him get excited when they walk by some men that were working on a Chevy Tahoe.

Nyx was watching the men as they walked into the garage. She notices they had everything that was needed to fix the damage done to the armor. She also noticed a few of the guys watching them.

Leland looks towards a guy whose scent matched what he smelled back at Albright’s place. The cat inside of him wanted to go over and interrogate the guy.

“There’s the guy we're looking for.” Leland sends a mental message to Tammy.

Tammy looks over towards the guy. An evil idea comes to her mind as she mumbles something under her breath. The spell she just cast, causes all the cans on his mechanics' cart to explode.

Everyone in the shop is startled by the explosions going off. Nyx looks at Tammy “is this you're doing?”

“It might be.” Tammy notices Leland running towards the guy he spotted.

Santiago pulls his gun from behind his back and points it at the woman. He couldn’t stop the big guy as he moved towards Matías.

“Don’t you move?” Points his gun towards Tammy.

“If you say so.” Nyx drops a silver disk onto the floor and kicks it towards the guy.

“Tammy, shut your eyes.”

The silver disk goes off, as a bright blinding light flash. A bright light engulfs all three of them. Santiago stumbles backward as he drops his gun. The gun goes off and hits one of the welding tanks in the garage.

Tammy turns around and wraps her arms around Nyx to protect her. She mumbles some words as the tank explodes. The spell she cast to
protect her, and Nyx sends them sliding across the garage floor towards the opening.

Leland had transformed into his hybrid form just in time when the tank exploded. He managed to grab the guy he was going after when the tank exploded. He shielded the guy with his body as they get blown off his feet halfway across the garage.

“God! Remind me not to do that again.” Nyx untangles herself from Tammy.

She was lucky Tammy had big breasts because they cushioned her head when she got blown off her feet. She slowly gets up off the ground and reaches down to help Tammy up.

“How are you feeling?” As Nyx helps Tammy up.

“Like someone just slammed into me.” Tammy’s chest hurt where Nyx’s head slammed against her breasts.

Tammy spots Leland in his hybrid form, as he carried the guy they were looking for. He was unconscious in Leland’s arms. As for the other guys in the garage, some of them were dead and some were seriously injured. The place was on fire.

“We better go in and see who we can save.” Tammy didn’t want to, but she had to try.

“I’m calling the fire department. Be careful in there.” Nyx pulls her cellphone out and dials 911.

“I will.” Tammy rushes into the garage and starts pulling people out of the building.

Leland takes a quick cuff and cuffs the person they came to see. Once the guy was cuffed, Leland rushes into the garage and helps Tammy. Since Leland was stronger than Tammy. He carries several people out at once, after checking them and making sure they didn’t have any back or neck injuries.

Tammy grabs a few people and drags them out of the garage. She could feel the heat from the fire as she exits the garage. She rushes back into the garage and finds a fire extinguisher. She uses it to put out a fire near a person on the floor.

She tosses the extinguisher and grabs the guy. She could tell this guy was heavy, but luckily for her. Her strength has been increased when she was changed into an elf.

Tammy drags the guy out of the building, just as the fire department arrives. She spots Leland and notices he had reverted into his human form. She also noticed Nyx talking to the fire department when they pulled up.

She steps aside to let the firemen and paramedics do their job. She looks at the guy they came to speak to. He was sitting on the ground near the SUV.

She walks over to the guy and kneels in front of him “you’re going to tell me everything you know about Jason Bush and why he stole the armor.”

“Why would I do that?” Matías looks at the blonde hair woman kneeling in front of him.

Tammy leans towards Matias “because if you don’t. You’ll get to meet my husband's third form and it likes fresh meat.” An evil smile appears on her face.

Abandoned Warehouse:
Tammy, Leland, and Nyx move quietly towards the warehouse. It had taken them thirty minutes to arrive at the site. They parked a little way away from the warehouse. Nyx was dressed in her body armor and had her rifle with her.

All three of them were communicating through the earwigs they had, well in Nyx’s case. She was using the communication system of her helmet to communicate with Leland and Tammy on their earwigs.

“Do you guys hear that?” Nyx was picking up the low hum coming from the nearby transformer.

“Yeah, something is drawing a lot of power inside.” Tammy could hear the hum clearly because of her new ears. She knew Leland could as well. His supernatural hearing was amazing.

“I’m going to go and take a peek from the roof.” Nyx activates the jetpack on her armor and jumps up to the roof.

She walks around on top of the roof trying to find a way in and spots a door. She walks over to it and pulls on it and notices it was locked. She takes a small disk out of one of the pouches on her utility belt. She places it on the door handle and blows the handle through the door.

“I’m going inside.”

“Alright, we’re moving towards the building.” Tammy motions towards Leland that she was moving.

She didn’t need to move to him, because they could communicate with each other through their mate bond. Sometimes it was a blessing and other times it was a distraction. She feels Leland move and how excited he was feeling. She knew his cat was enjoying this hunt.

Nyx moves quietly as she hears the sound of machinery going on. She sends a small drone from her gauntlet out to scout around. She watches as the video comes back, showing that they were constructing additional armors to go with the one that was stolen. They were more of the design that had been floating around on the web.

“Guys, they are making additional body armor. Also, be careful with any gunfire. They have miniature missiles and….” As Nyx tries to get closer to a fuel tank “there’s canisters of Kerosene/diesel in here.”

“Isn’t kerosene used as fuel for jetpacks?” Tammy had some experience with jetpacks.

“Some of them use that type of fuel. I use Hydrogen peroxide, but it's expensive per gallon.”

“So, in other words, be extremely careful.” Tammy was hating this more and more.

“Yes. Also, the armor they were looking, for was is in there. It looks like it’s been repaired and the main weapon has been changed out.” Nyx notices the battery warning on her gauntlet, letting her know the drone was running low.

She presses the recall button and watches as the drone comes flying back to her gauntlet. She puts it back into the socket on the gauntlet to recharge. She moves to an area where she could jump down and attack.

Tammy looks over towards Leland and holds up her hand and starts counting down. She figures they could catch the guys inside with their pants down. She watches as Leland nods his head and changes into his hybrid form.

“Are you guys ready?” Nyx was about to make her move.

“We’re ready. Let’s move on to the count of three.”

“Alright, 1,2,3!” Nyx jumps down from where she is and points her weapon at everyone.

Tammy and Leland break-in from the front of the warehouse. Leland lets out a growl and had his claw extended and Tammy had her handguns out and pointed at the men.

“You clowns have made a mistake.” Jason Bush looks at the three people who have been tracking him down.

He’s been keeping tabs on them because he knew taking the armor would draw law enforcement. That’s why he had a backup plan in place
“you guys have two choices. You can arrest me or some poor souls are going to die. What’s it going to be?” Jason looks at all three of their uninvited guests.

Tammy communicates to Leland mentally “is he bluffing or telling a lie?”

“No, he isn’t.” Leland was pissed because he wanted this person.

Tammy looks at Nyx and wishes she could communicate with her mentally as well. She wants to know what she was thinking and doing under
that helmet of hers.

“Let’s back off, Tammy.” Nyx did a scan and discovered the device Mr. Bush had in his hand. It had a two-way signal going between it and the explosive device.

“Are you sure?” Tammy wanted to make sure.

“That device has a two signal and I’m guessing, if it is disrupted, it will cause the device to go off.” Nyx transmits the information to Tammy and Leland.

Tammy was fighting the urge to not act. She could feel that Leland felt the same way.

“What’s it going to be, people. Are we going to fight it out and you let several people die? Or are you going to leave, now?”

“And let you kill those people anyway?”

“I’ll give you a chance to save them. All you have to do is leave.” Jason looks at them.

“Fine! You win.” Tammy didn’t like this, but what choice did she have.

Nyx slips two devices into her gloved hand. She waits until Tammy gives the word before acting.

“Let’s go, before I change my mind.” Tammy turns to leave, after looking at Leland to rip the information from Jason’s mind.

An evil smile appears on Leland’s face as he dives right into Jason Bush’s mind and rips the information from him. He makes sure he isn’t nice as he takes the information from him.

“Now!” Tammy causes a distraction to draw the other guys to her.

While Tammy is busy with the other men there. Nyx makes her move and plants one of her devices on the armor they came to stop. A cloud of smoke fills the area concealing her next move. While Leland and Tammy keep everyone busy, she uses the concealment of the smoke to access the data port on the armor and hack the security system. She attaches the second device she was holding and uploads a nasty virus into the system.

She hopes the virus will spread to the other armors and hope that Jason Bush doesn’t find it. She disconnects the device from the armor. She strikes out at one of the guys and pushes past them.

“Mission accomplished.” Nyx sends it to Leland and Tammy.

Tammy looks over towards Leland and nods her head. She allows herself to be struck and falls backward. She is caught by Leland as they run away from the warehouse.

Forty Miles Away from The Warehouse:
“Who puts a bomb on a school bus loaded with kids?” Tammy looks at Leland and Nyx.

They had located the bomb Jason Bush had given them the location of. Jason was right that she would have felt bad about letting these kids die. He made sure he had an ace up his sleeve.

“Do you know anything about disarming bombs?” Leland looks at Tammy for an answer to his question.

“No, my training didn’t include disarming bombs.” Tammy looks towards Nyx “you wouldn’t happen to know how to disarm a bomb, would you?”

“Ah, no. However, if you can get it off, without killings us. I can get it out of range of everyone.” Nyx scans the explosive device and if Tammy could somehow remove it. She could take it up into the air and throw it away from them.

“We could always wait for the bomb disposal unit.” Leland looks at both women.

“I wouldn’t count on it. Jason could set it off at any time.”

“What’s stopping him from doing it right now?” Tammy looks at Nyx with a puzzled look on her face.

“Me. I managed to copy the signal. Right now, I control it.” Nyx had scanned the signal Jason had and when they located the bomb she did another scan of the bomb.

“There might be one thing I can try, but I don’t know if it will work.” Tammy hopes what little magical training she has had will help them.

She concentrates on what she wants to do and centers herself. She gets as close as she can to the explosive device and starts to encase it in ice. She remembers somewhere that liquid nitrogen could freeze the triggering mechanism to buy a few minutes. She’s hoping, that encasing it in a block of ice will do the same thing.

“Here goes nothing.” Tammy draws on the energy the Earth has and channels it through her.

She forms the energy into what she wants and directs it to the bomb. The air around the bomb starts turning into a thick block of ice. She makes the ice seep into the device and freeze the whole internal device.

Tammy releases the energy back into the Earth as she feels drained. She is panting afterward and feeling tired. She looks at Nyx “now! Grab it and get it out of here.”

Nyx crawls under the bus and breaks the block of ice off and flies up as high as she could with her jetpack and throws it as far as she could.
The next thing she knows the explosive device goes off a good way away from her. She flies back down towards Leland and Tammy. The signal she had been coping, with had stopped just after it was encased in ice.

Leland helps Tammy up off the ground and supports her. He could feel she was drained. That was only the second time she has ever done anything like that.

“Are you alright?” Leland was concerned about his wife.

“I’m fine, just a little weak. I want that bastard.”

Just as she says those words, an explosion could be heard off in a distance. The two of them look up towards the sky to make sure Nyx wasn’t falling towards the Earth. They watch as Nyx comes flying back to them. She lands a few feet from them.

“That was impressive.” Leland had to admit that during all his years, he has never experienced anything like that.

“Thanks! Now let’s go and capture Jason and his men.” Nyx wanted these bastards now.

“Sounds good to me.” Leland wanted to go and capture Jason Bush.

All three of them get into Leland’s SUV and drive back to the warehouse. Tammy was still feeling weak, but she could still fire her guns. Nyx checks her weapons as well. She wanted a rematch with Jason Bush.

When they arrive and enter the building, Jason and his people were gone. It looked like they had to abandon everything, including the armor he stole.

“I wonder why they left everything?” Tammy and Leland were puzzled.

“Because I disabled the armor.” Nyx checks the armor and notices the virus she uploaded into it, had done its job.

“I want to know where they went?” Leland was in his hybrid form and ready to kill someone.

“Let’s see if we can find some answers here.” Tammy wanted to arrest Jason Bush.

Nyx tackles what electronics were left behind. Leland sniffs around to see what they had been up to or have left. Tammy, looks through the trash and looks for any clue where they could have gone too.

“These guys are pigs.” Tammy couldn’t believe all the junk food they had been eating.

“You have to remember, Tammy. Us geeks live on junk food and energy drinks.” Nyx had taken her helmet off and was using what equipment had been left behind to scan some damaged hard drives.

“I’m getting nothing.” Leland reverts to his human form and walks over to Nyx.

Nyx looks at Leland “I always thought people like you were made up stories by horror authors.”

“That’s what we wanted you to think.”

“Why? Why not come out and let people know you exist?” Nyx was curious as she kept digging through the damaged hard drives.

“Because too many religious fanatics would come after us. We already have a problem with two organizations that have been around for centuries waging war against us. Plus, we don’t want a bunch of psychos asking us to turn them.” Leland has known a few Weres in his past that had made that mistake.

“Hey guys, I have something.” Tammy found the fuel for the jet packs.

Nyx and Leland walk over to where Tammy was standing. Leland could smell the fuel as he got closer to the fifty-gallon drums. Nyx lets out a whistle “that’s a lot of fuel.”

“Where could you get this much fuel?” Tammy wonders what else it could be used for.

“There are several locations you can get this much fuel at. However,” As Nyx walks over to the barrels and checks the blend of it.

“What is it, Nyx?” Tammy was curious.

“This is fuel for something else. This isn’t jetpack fuel.” Nyx knew enough about jetpacks from building them to know this fuel couldn’t be used in them.

“Then, what is it used for?” Tammy and Leland were curious.

“There’s only one vehicle I know of that uses this type of fuel.” Nyx had investigated something of what she was thinking.

“Well! What are you thinking about?” Tammy wanted to know.

“A Skycar. It’s capable of vertical take-off and landing similar to a helicopter. Also, you don’t need a pilot license to operate one.” Nyx wanted to buy one.

“So, between us chasing the bomb down and coming back here. Jason and his guys used one to get away from here.” Leland wonders where Jason was getting all this funding.

“There are two ways you can get one of these. Build one, which you must be very technical and have some mechanical ability. Or you can buy one from two different companies that build them.” Nyx looks at Tammy and Leland.

“We’re going to need satellite access to see if one flew from here.” Tammy didn’t want to call Gina, but now she had no choice.

Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California:
Gina watches as Arabella and Jennifer chase after a frisbee on the beach. The two of them have been getting along really well. That was the one concerned Gina and Arnold had about the two girls. They were totally opposites of each other.

Arabella was into video games, computers, and horseback riding. Jennifer was into Martial Arts, gymnastics, archery, and even shooting. At first, Gina was against her father teaching Jennifer how to use a gun. But after watching her father teach Jennifer everything he knew about guns. The two of them noticed she was a natural with them.

She had been upset because Jennifer was too young to know how to use a gun. After all, Jennifer was only eleven years old. After she saw how well, Jennifer took to guns and martial arts training. She already knew what her father had planned for Jennifer. She knew he was going to take a personal interest in her training.

She was already several grades ahead of her age group. Her IQ was hundred eighty-four. Gina had her tested the second week Jennifer had been with them. she notices the girls about to run into another couple enjoying the beach “you two need to be more careful.”

“Yes ma’am.” Jennifer stops and looks at her mother.

Both girls were wearing bikinis. Arabella’s bikini was the same design as Jennifer’s but in a different color. Gina’s on the other hand was skimpier and a sold color. She also had longer, fuller hair.

Gina watches as the girls go back to playing. A smile appears on her face as she watches them. She was happy that she and Arnold adopted Jennifer. Now, Arabella would know what it felt like to have a sister. If she and Arnold adopted another child, it was going to be a male. She knew Arnold wanted to have a son, even if he didn’t say it.

Gina goes back to looking over the agreement of the deal she came to San Francisco to close on. The building and all its holding and equipment. She was going to have Camelot Network Solution come in and update the whole network and computer system. She was going to talk with Morgana to see what will be needed to install a quantum computer system.

While Gina is looking over the upgrades she was going to have done to the new building. Her cellphone starts ringing. She picks it up, while still watching her girls. She presses accept “hello, you have reached Gina Bounty. How can I help you?”

“Gina, it’s Tammy. I need a favor.” Tammy looks at her husband.

“What’s the favor, Tammy?” Gina wonders what Tammy has gotten herself into.

“I need satellite images of where I currently am, from two hours ago.” Tammy figured that was about right.

“What have you gotten yourself into, Tammy?” Gina was concerned about one of her agents.

“It’s a long story, Gina and I promise to tell you about it afterward. Right now, I need satellite images of my current location within the last two hours or so.”

“Alright, but I’m going to need to get Morgana on this call. Because I’m at the beach with my two daughters.” Gina does a group call on her cellphone.

Tammy tries to remember if they have beaches in Montana. As far as she knew, they didn’t. she’ll have to ask Gina where she is afterward.
Camelot Network Solutions, Morgana’s quarters:

Morgana was enjoying the treatment Thomas was giving her while she straddle his head. She had his new penis stuffed in her mouth and down her throat. Thomas had the operation to have a clone penis made from cells of his body by Blake Medical. Thomas was still recovering from the operation he had two months ago. So, the only sexual activity he could do, until he was fully healed was oral.

Morgana was trying out Thomas’s in her mouth. She was enjoying it as she lets out a low moan. While the two of them were enjoying each other’s bodies. Her cellphone starts ringing. She was going to ignore it, but Thomas stopped pleasing her “you better get that call, sweetie.”

Morgana didn’t want to stop doing what she was doing but knew he was right. She wipes her mouth and picks up her cellphone and notices it was Gina Bounty calling her. She presses accept on her cellphone “Hi, Gina. What can I do for you?”

“I need a favor, Morgana. I have one of my employees on the call with us and she will explain.”

“Hi, Mrs. Morgana, my name is Tammy and I work for Mrs. Bounty.I need satellite images of my location from two hours ago. I don’t have time to explain why, but I will afterward.”

Morgana gets up off her bed and walks over to her desk. She locks onto Tammy’s cellphone signal to get the coordinates and input them into the computer system to locate which satellite had been over that area. She knew the USA had a bunch of satellites that monitor everything.

She accesses the satellite tracking system and goes back two hours. Before she sends that information “Tammy, are you wearing your minicomputer?”

“Yes ma’am, I am. Go ahead and send the information.” Tammy brings her wrist computer online and watches as the holographic screen appears.

Morgana sends the data to Tammy’s wrist unit. She watches as the data transfers. After what seems like a few minutes “that should be it, Tammy. I sent you satellite images over the last six hours. Hopefully, that will help you.”

“Thanks, Morgana.” Gina hopes it will help Tammy out.

“You’re welcome, Mrs. Bounty.”

Gina and Tammy hear Morgana disconnect from the three-way call “is there anything else you’ll need Tammy?”

“No ma’am, this should do it. Thanks for everything.”

“You’re welcome, Tammy. Look, if you need any additional help. I’m currently in San Francisco with my daughters. I can come to wherever you are.” Gina wonders what Tammy was working on.

“Thanks, Gina. I think me, Leland, and Nyx can handle everything.” Tammy knew if Gina is brought in. There will be trouble.

“Alright, but my offer stands. Be careful.” Gina ends the phone call.

Nyx was looking at the information on the holographic screen being projected from Tammy’s minicomputer. She wonders where she can get a unit like this. She wouldn’t mind one to wear outside of her armor.

“Now we can find out where they went.” Tammy looks at Leland and Nyx when she says that.

“Good, because I want to capture these guys.” Leland’s cat wanted this prey.

Private Airfield, San Francisco, California:
Leland drove like a possessed man on a mission. Tammy and Nyx were bracing themselves as he weaved in and out of traffic. Tammy looks at Leland “you can slow down, Leland.”

“He already has a big advantage on us, Tam.” Leland’s cat wanted the bastard.

“He may, but if we get killed on the way there. It won’t do any of us any good.” Tammy wanted to get to the airport in one piece.

“Don’t worry sweetie. I’ll be more careful.” Leland slows down some.

Nyx was glad Leland slowed down. She was trying to access the airport computers to place Jason Bush on the no-fly list. It was going to take her longer than they have to hack their computers.

“Why do hackers make it seem so easy to hack into government and FAA computers?” Nyx looks toward Tammy when she says that.

“That’s because it's what they do for fun. Someone like you and me, it takes almost forever.” Tammy has tried hacking some computers before and managed it after a long time.

“Well, I need to learn how to hack computers.” Nyx gives up after a little while.

Leland makes a sharp turn as they enter the private airfield. He was looking for the hangar they spotted in the satellite feed.

“Nyx, can you track the onboard navigation system of that aircar?”

“No, but I can do better. Tammy, can I borrow your wrist computer?” Nyx looks at Tammy.

“Sure, let me disable the security on it.” Tammy deactivates the security systems on it.

“This thing had a security system?” Nyx was surprised as Tammy placed it in her hand.

“Yeah, it has biometrics and passcode you need to enter. The unit was custom made by a company called Metalworks.” She had been surprised when one was given to her, Stanley, and Becky by Gina.

“I want to get me one of these.” Nyx accesses the holographic keyboard and starts going back over the satellite footage.

Nyx looks up every so often as they drive by several hangars. She spots the one they wanted “Leland, he’s here.”

Leland slams on the brakes and places the car in park. He jumps out of the SUV and runs towards the hangar.

“My husband needs to calm down.” Tammy chases after him.

Inside the Hangar:
“How much longer do I have to wait, Mr. Turner for your man to pick me and my associates up?”

“He’ll be there in another twenty minutes, Mr. Bush. You and your associates have waited this long. You can wait a little longer.” Ludlow looks out the portal in his office. He watches as fishes or sea life swim by the portal.

“And what am I suppose to do about those people chasing after me?” Jason paces back and forth as he talked with his sponsor.

“What you should had done about them from the beginning. Now if you can’t do that, then our partnership has come to an end.”

“I can handle them.”

Just as Jason says those words, there was the sound of tires screeching outside the hangar. A few seconds later, the door leading into the hangar burst open. Something that looked like it came from a horror movie comes bursting into the hangar.

It attacks two of his associates before they could react. He hangs up and grabs an MP4 and starts firing bullets at the creature. He watches as the bullets do not affect the creature.

“Sava, stop that creature.” Jason looks over towards a huge-built man. He was completely bald and had a lot of muscles.

He looks at the creature attacking his associates and runs over to tackle him. He slams his huge body into the creature, sending him flying into the walls of the hangar. He looks at the creature as it tried clear its head. An evil smile appears on his face.

Leland was ripping into several of Bushes associates and enjoying it. He felt bullets hitting his body, but they just bounced off him like pebbles. Just as he was about to rip into another person, he was blindsided by someone and sent flying into the nearby hangar wall.

As he tries to get his bearings, he spots a huge guy wearing a business suit who was completely bald. He didn’t know who this fellow was but looked like he was going to be trouble.

“Come on baldy, let’s see what you got!” Leland walks towards the fellow.

The two men meet and exchange punches with each other. Neither man hurt the other with their punches. However, an evil smile appears on
Leland’s face as he extends his claws and rakes them right across the chest of the other man.

Sava was amazed at how strong this creature was. He was also amazed at how fast it was when a set of claws raked against his chest and he felt them cut into his body. They went right through his custom-made suit like a hot knife through butter.

When the creature went to claw him again. Sava parried away the creature’s claws. He needed to get some sort of shield or weapon to block the claw attacks. He moves backward towards some crates and tosses one towards the creature.

Leland bats away the crate coming towards him. He was in full fight mode and he wanted this prey. This man was putting up a good fight and his cat was enjoying it.

Tammy comes running into the hangar and lets her glamour spell drop. She spots several men pointing guns toward Leland and towards her as she charged in. She shoots at the guy aiming at her husband. The bullet from her gun hits the other guy’s gun, making him drop it. As for the guy getting ready to fire at her. She hits him center mass with a bullet from her second gun.

She feels several bullets hit her body from behind her. She spins around and uses a trick she saw in a movie. She flings the bullet from her gun, into the guy. While that one is hit by a bullet from her first gun, she spots another fellow picking up a grenade and tossing it towards her.
She fires her gun at it and hits it. It explodes midair, as the explosion fills the area.

“You got to do better than that.” An evil smirk appears on Tammy’s face.

“Let’s see how you like this, BITCH!” Jason fires a rifle designed to penetrate the type of armor he designed.

The round hits behind Tammy and explodes. The explosive force from the round sends her flying into a stack of wooden crates. She shakes her head and was thankful she was wearing her body armor.

“Let’s if your body armor can take a direct hit.” Jason aims at Tammy.

“I don’t think so.” Nyx fires a hook and line at the gun. It wraps around the rifle.

Nyx yanks the rifle out of Jason’s hands. She catches it as it comes towards her. She points it at him “now, why don’t you give up right now, before I see how you like this rifle?”

Jason looks at the suit of armor standing in front of him. It reminded him of something, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. He notices most of his other associates were either wounded or dead. The only person still standing was Sava and some Were creature. It had cat features, instead of wolf features he has seen in most Werewolf movies.

He puts his hands up “I surrender.”

Nyx looks over towards Tammy as she picks herself up off the floor. She notices that Leland and whoever the other person was, was still
trading blows. She noticed the other person had bloody welts on his body, where Leland cut into him.

Leland looks at the guy he has been fighting and couldn’t believe he was taking his punches and returning them. He tasted the coppery, salty taste of blood in his mouth. He blocks a blow to his head and returns one to the other fellow.

“It’s time to end this.” Leland draws on Tammy’s magical energies through their mate link.

He forms the magic into a boxing glove and punches the man straight in his face. He swings again and knocks the man out from the punch. He walks over to the fellow and makes sure he is out of it.

“You’re lucky I don’t want to eat you.” Leland has never fought someone so tough before. The only attacks he had were his claws.

He is also glad that the virus he carries can’t be transmitted through the claws as a wolf can. He would have to bite him and sink his teeth into his flesh. He picks the fellow up and notices he weighed a lot.

Leland carries the man he fought over to the others. He isn’t gentle when he puts the man down. Afterward, Leland starts gathering up the men that were still alive and tending to the ones that needed immediate medical help.

Nyx secures Jason Bush and confiscates any weapons, electronics, or any other technological device he has. She makes his ass get up and walk over towards the others. She looks at Tammy and notices Tammy was a little pale “are you feeling, okay?”

“I’m fine. Leland borrowed some of my mystical energies and it has left me a little weak.” Tammy knew Leland had no other choice.

“Sorry, sweetie.” He places a sloppy kiss on her cheek.

“Okay, I’ve seen everything now. So, what are we going to do now with these guys?” Nyx was originally thinking of turning Jason over to the police for the theft of the armor. But she had a feeling there was more going on here.

The cellphone Jason had been using started ringing. Nyx looks at Tammy “do you want to answer it?”

Tammy uses the glamour spell to disguise her voice to sound like Jason’s “hello?”

“Open the hangar and come out and move this SUV out of the way while you are at it.”

“On my way.” Tammy ends the call.

“Leland, get ready to apprehend some more people.” Tammy disguises herself to look like Jason as she walks outside of the hangar.

She notices a medium-size transport plane was waiting. It wasn’t anything she has seen before.

She gets in the SUV as Leland sneaks about heading towards the plane. As she moves the SUV they came in, Leland manages to get aboard the plane.

Nyx opens the hangar door to let the plane move inside. She waves the plane inside but stops when he notices the other people.

Just as the pilot was about to abort, he feels the tips of claws on his neck “move inside, before I tear your artery out.”

The pilot moves the plane inside the hangar as the hangar door closes. Nyx looks at Tammy “we’re going to need more help.”

“I know.” Tammy pulls her cellphone out and dials Gina again since she is in San Francisco.

One Hour Later:
Jennifer, Arabella, and Gina had shown up after Tammy called her for support. Jennifer and Arabella were wearing sundresses and low heels. Gina showed up dressed in black two-inch heels, black dress slacks, and a deep purple silk blouse. Her long black hair was tied back into a ponytail.

The girls were looking at Nyx in her Mandalorian-style body armor. Arabella was fascinated with its design of it. She had heard about some LARP groups that have formed clans that were in certain cities.

“Did you construct this suit yourself or have someone do it for you?” Arabella was thinking about having a suit built for her.

“I forged it myself.” Nyx was curious about the one girl. She seemed to be interested in her armor.

She noticed the other girl that came with Gina was looking at the weapons they found. She wasn’t touching them but taking pictures of them with her cellphone. The two girls didn’t look like they had any of Gina’s genes in them.

“Jennifer don’t touch them. Remember what grandpa said.” Gina was keeping an eye on her girls while talking with Tammy and her husband.

“Yes ma’am.” Jennifer walks over to look at the aircar that was in the hangar.

“Mrs. Royce, why did you take an interest in this matter, instead of letting the government handle this problem?” Gina looks at Nyx as she stood nearby.

Nyx looks at the Asian woman looking at her. She could tell that this woman wasn’t the type to lie to. It was like she could see directly into your soul.

“I think mom scared her.” Arabella was watching her mother and Nyx.

Nyx looks directly into Gina’s brown eyes “because I’m more capable of dealing with the armor. Your standard police officer would have been killed trying to stop it.”

Gina was looking directly into Nyx’s green eyes as she spoke to her. She had one of Morgana’s associates do a background check on Nyx after speaking to Tammy.

“Gina, if it wasn’t for Nyx’s knowledge and background in hi-tech body armor. We wouldn’t have been able to stop that suit.” Tammy knew Nyx bailed their asses out a lot.

“Mrs. Royce, I’m currently working on a new organization and there might be times I might need a consultant. Will it be okay if I call on you from time to time?”

“Yes ma’am. I do have one question for you. What type of organization are you working on?” Nyx was curious.

A smile appears on Gina’s face “a think tank.”

Tammy and Leland both look at Gina and felt that something didn’t seem right about what she said. Leland knew from meeting this woman the first time that she was dangerous. He also knew that he should be able to detect if she was lying, but he couldn’t.

“A Think Tank?” Nyx just looks at Gina and couldn’t read her.

“Yes, a think tank.” Gina kept a straight face on her.

“Okay.” Nyx accepts her explanation.

“Mom, you might want to see this.” Arabella had spotted a tablet in the aircar.

Her curiosity had gotten the best of her, and she grabbed it. She noticed it was heavily encrypted. A smile appeared on her face as she broke the encryption. She’s been working with her hacker buddies online and learned a few new tricks. Once she broke the encryption, she looked through it and came across a hit list.

Most of the names on it, she didn’t recognize at all. However, a few caught her attention, and knew that her grandfather’s associates/agents were involved in a case with the names. She did computer work for her grandfather, along with Morgana as well. She also didn’t recognize a few other things on the tablet.

Gina looks at the tablet to see what her daughter found. She couldn’t punish Arabella for finding this material. She didn’t want to stifle her daughter’s inquisitiveness.

“Looks like you were right, sweetie.” Leland got a glimpse of what Mrs. Bounty was looking at.

“This will be handled by the new organization.” Gina looks at Tammy and Leland.

“But you said you are running a Think Tank.” Nyx looks at Gina.

“It is.” Gina wasn’t changing her story.

“Right. Well, since you guess seem to have everything in hand. I got to get back to the hotel and start packing things up.” Nyx knew she needed to get back to Georgia.

“It’s been nice working with you, Nyx.” Tammy hugs Nyx.

Nyx returns the hug.

“If you ever need anything, Nyx or help. Give me a call.” Leland pulls one of his custom coins out of his pocket and hands it to Nyx.
Nyx looks at the coin and then at Leland “is it magical or something?”

“You could say that. Just prick your finger and place a drop of blood on the coin. Say my name afterward.” Leland had the coins made a long time ago.

“I would love to see that.” Rebecca had walked over and stood next to Gina.

“Well, if you guys need anything as well. Just call me as well.” Nyx liked working with Tammy and Leland.

“How are you going to get back, Mrs. Royce?” Gina knew Nyx had come with Tammy.

“She can take my SUV. I’ll pick it up later at her hotel.” Leland gives the keys to his SUV.

“Thanks, Leland.” As Nyx catches the keys.

“Any time.”

“Mom, the guys are here.” Arabella spots the security people from Chaos Security pulling up.

“Alright.” Gina turns to go and talk with the leader of the unit.

Later In The Evening:
Tammy makes sure she doesn't overcook the steaks on the grill. She had changed out of her work clothes and just had on one of Leland’s t-shirts and a pair of panties. She looks over toward Leland who was cutting up the vegetables for the salad he was making.

“I wonder what this Think Tank, really is?” Before Tammy and Leland left the hangar. Gina told her she will be calling them by the end of next week.

“It might have something to do with what Mrs. Bounty’s family does.”

“Still, I wonder what she is going to be having us do.”

“We’ll find out by next week. While we're waiting, we can enjoy the time off.” Leland had a few ideas in mind.

A smile appears on Tammy’s face as she picks up what Leland was thinking. When the steaks are ready. She places them on the plates and adds all the sides she cooked up for them.

Later, after dinner and cleaning up the grill. Tammy lays next to Leland in his hybrid form on their bed.
