The War to Change (The Mission 7)

Charles held Alatem close after she’d begun to thrash in her sleep calling his name. She awoke with a start grabbing him holding him close and tight as If his and her lives both depended on it. Sighing she fell back to asleep after making Charles promise that he’d never leave her. Charles laid there awake for a while thinking about his rescue of Ally, it had seemed too easy. As quietly as he could he turned to his wrist com, “cici analyze tonight’s exercise, something is bothering me about the whole thing.” “Compliance, anything I should look for in particular?” cici queried. “Yes, check for transmissions on secure channels, withdrawing of guards, doors left open and unlocked that normally wouldn’t,” Charles commanded. “Analyzing, shall I awake you when I have results?” cici stated. “Yes, …

Emergency Room Doctor

The doctor’s office was plain, the walls decorated with just a few framed diplomas. The psychiatrist/bitch sat behind the desk looking at me, an opened notepad on her lap. “So you want me to tell you all about it,” I said. She just looked at me. “Ok, here goes…” and I began my story: “They brought her in at a quarter to four in the morning. The ER was empty, for some reason the city had been pretty quiet that evening. Well, except for the woman that they brought in that night. She was lying on a gurney wearing a white ambulance smock. They said she was a rape victim and asked if this was the correct place or if they should take her upstairs. I didn’t recognize the orderlies but told them it was, …

The Life Ch.1 Bajir Job

It was the Saturday the 6th of June on a long hot dry stretch of road between here and there. The sun was hot and burned the skin on my back. I rode my Harley with intent and malice. I felt like a vampire in that, beside the heat, my skin seemed to be on fire and my eyes squinted even with the darkest of sun glasses on. I had a job to do and it needed done by Monday. The client had a court date on Monday and the witness or Snitch was supposed to testify against him. We knew the witness was a paid informant and was not going to be easily accessible. The client had tried using one of his own men to do the job but he was killed in his …

Awakenings 7

AWAKENINGS 7 ————————————————————————————- Tahir was worried now. He had been searching almost all day. Still he had searched until he had run out of options. Thinking for only a minute he reached out and found Helena. Pulling, she was suddenly there next to him. Screaming at him, she tried to desperately escape screaming that she had to save her daughters. Intrigued, Tahir, listened as she explained why she had done what she had and why. Believing her, he touched her arm and they were back in the east waiting for the man who had contacted her. Looking first pissed, then shocked when he couldn’t move, Tahir reached deep into his mind. Finding that he indeed had Helena’s daughter, he snapped all the man’s abilities, leaving him there as Tahir took her hand. Appearing in a …

My Japanese Love Part 6

My Japanese Love Part 6: The Trial Amya, Akira, Alicia, and I were sitting in the County courthouse awaiting the trial to start back up. Mark Hunter, our lawyer, called Amya and I up for questioning this morning. We both told our side and answer the question from both Mark, and Joe Charles, Hiro’s lawyer. All day long I have been having this uneasy feeling. I figured it was just nerves, but looking at Hiro sitting there isn’t helping. Oh I am not scared of testifying against him. God knows that bastard deserves what’s coming to him. The uneasy feeling I’m getting is the look in his eyes. I have never been one to read people well but I get the feeling like he is a man with nothing to lose. To me those are …

Chinaman’s Chance

My name is Jennifer Yang. I was your typical Asian-American princess born and raised in southern California. I was attending UCLA majoring in business, intent on professional success and marrying well. But then I fell in with a bad crowd (according to my parents) and everything changed. They were Hollywood types; stuntmen to be specific. A stuntman stands in for the actor when the script calls for a risky or dangerous action: fights, falls, car crashes, the whole bit. They taught me a lot and helped me get my first jobs, which qualified me for my SAG-AFTRA card. My years of ballet, gymnastics and martial arts lessons were paying off. I had excellent balance and I was unafraid of heights. Also I was stage struck. I guess I’d always had a secret hankering for show …

A Farm House Story: Part 2 of 4: Welcome and Unwelcome Guests

“When I’m here I like to hear the local new. Do you mind?” “Not a bit. I’m interested in finding out what’s going on too.” The weather forecaster said that it was a typical Fort Worth early September evening and sunset would be about 748. It was followed by the local news. The crackle of the radio continued, “This is our top local 630 news story. “Jacksboro prison officials report that some prisoners escaped from the state jail at Jacksboro today. Authorities believe they are on foot and are reminding motorists to not pick up any hitchhikers and to be on guard. They report three escapees. They may not be armed but they are on the run and should be considered dangerous. “In other news…” He was not listening further. From working together, she knew …

Killing me softly (CAW 28 entry)

Completely concealed, she watched with a vicious excitement she hadn’t felt in years. Finally it would be over today. Live or die, it would be over. The arid wind blew the one stray blonde tress of hair that she could never get to stay under the hair cap. Her husband had always joked that it would be the one thing that would get her killed. A sad smile crossed her face as she thought that it was the ONE thing that had saved her life that day. Her mind raced back over the years that they had both worked for the agency. They had been a damn good team, working together but always independent, able to change any aspect of the mission at a moment’s notice. ‘Well, ‘ she thought, ‘I could; he was always …

The Hit

A tall man in silk pajamas sits on his couch speaking into a cassette recorder. He is 50’ish and graying at the temples of his brown mane.

Born of the fears of the cold war, he has done well in the post cold war era by taking out old enemies of the government and others deamed in need of his special “extreme prejudice” technique to send the right messages to their leaders.

The Hitwoman: The Blonde Bombshell By Millie Dynamite

The hit had gone fine, just hadn’t expected that a cop would walk out and see it. Worse still a cruiser pulled in the parking lot at the same time. Not surprising, this wasn’t something I planned. I rushed to my motorcycle, hoping to make a clean getaway, I felt it when the leads hit my back. Goddamn Taser shot the juice through my body and I collapsed. I jerked around on the floor as the juice shot through my body. Okay, okay you’ve got me, I thought, now you’re just being cruel. The big cop giggled as he clutched the trigger on the Taser, his partner likewise had a good laugh at my expense. I’ll remember this, mother fuckers! “That’s enough,” the plain closed officer said. “Hard to believe such a small girl killed …

“Oh, my, my. Mr. McCoy, she’s back again.” “Huh, what’s that Louella? Who’s back? What are you going on about?” “It’s poor Miss Johnson. She’s walking back and forth in front of the bus station and she’s carrying that suitcase again. Oh dear me, the poor thing.” Mr. McCoy put down the merchandise he was marking with the price gun and walked over to the large plate glass window to look out. Sure enough there she was, pacing back and forth while looking around in all directions. Sighing to himself he headed back behind the glass and wood counter and picked up the telephone. “I’m going to call her daddy and let him know that she’s there. It’s the least that I can do.” “You do that Mr. McCoy. I’m going to see if I …
