Sight One
"Good morning General; here are the files you asked for." The blond secretary handed Hawk the papers along with a fresh cup of coffee.
"Thank you Cover Girl; and thanks for the coffee, you read my mind." Hawk had been up half the night tracking down two new recruits for the Alpha team. The pair he came up with had no military training but their father just happened to be a Fleet Admiral for the east coast guard in the states. Both he and the Admiral had grown up together and even now they spent time together when they had the chance. BBQ's with the families, super bowls with those who were still around from military school.
Then there were the twins; the Admirals pride and joy. Their mother had dies giving birth to them and the babies had only a fifty percent chance of living. The now missing mother was never a quitter so the Admiral was not about to give up on the only things that were left of her. Hawk could remember the long days at the hospital; watching the babies and the machines that monitored their life in lines and beeps. The twins had their mothers olive toned Mediterranean skin but it seemed to end there; a patch of white hair topped their heads and no one knew the color of the babies eyes yet. After a month of being in the ICU the little boy finally opened his eyes showing a milky pupil with powder blue irises. The tiny girl opened her eyes about a week later, showing the same eyes.
The doctors had been convinced that both children were completely blind; but the babies showed them otherwise as they grew older and their eyesight could be tested properly they discovere4d that milky pupils didn't always mean someone was blind. Both children had 20/10 vision; however there was a catch. The catch was that ultra violate rays were dangerous for the pairs eyes; causing bleeding and eventual blindness if they were exposed for too long. From the beginning the Admiral adopted the traditional Inuit snow goggles as they seemed to be the best at keeping the sun out of their eyes at all angles. Even after twenty years the twins still wore them.
Hawk was there the day his friend named the babies; he had waited until they had opened their eyes to do this. The girl was named after her mother Metea; the boy Zephyr after his mothers father. They were raised knowing their mother and where she came from. There was one thing though that he kept them from and that was the military. The Admiral wanted to keep his children safe and sound for as long as he lived. The twins respected their father's wishes and stayed out of the military; instead they took up drift racing and proved to be excellent drivers. With their sharp vision and great skills the two quickly moved up the ranks and even took up stunt driving on the side.
The General wasn't sure if the Admiral would be ok with the twins joining the team and that was why he planned on going straight to the twins first. Metea had the ability to get her father to say yes to almost anything. "Cover Girl!" A blond head popped in the doorway.
"Yes General."
"Let Alpha Team know that they are going on a little trip and need to be ready in an hour please."
"Got it sir."
"So, why are we on a race track out in the middle of now where again?" Ripcord asked as he walked by Scarlett's side taking in sparse landscape. The pilot's question was answered by the sound of two engines that were attached to two custom made cars. The team watched as the cars drifted around a corner. "Sweet, a private show."
"We aren't here for the show Rip; we are here for the drivers."
"Are we arresting them or recruiting them sir?" Scarlett was getting curious now.
"To recruit them, they have no military training but their driving skills along with their excellent eyesight make the pair quite formidable." The General had a small smile on his face as he remembered the day when the twins beat the United States Air Forces top gun in a flight simulator. It was their eighth birthday and he had convinced the Admiral to let them have a go in the machine. After a few tries; the kids began to enjoy themselves.
"And you're sure that they will join with us." Duke wasn't so sure about the General's plan. There weren't very many people who would be willing to leave racing fast, powerful cars to live out in the middle of a desert and go on dangerous missions.
"We just have to convince one of them; once one is on board with the idea the other will follow."
The drivers of the two cars must have spotted the team as both cars drove straight for them. The black car came to a sliding stop first about ten feet from them and was followed by the red car. The doors opened and the drives stepped out.
This one is only a trial, I know it's a little off the wall but when I get an idea in my mind and it won't leave I tend to write it down ^_^ this story may only be four or five chapters depending on what happens with it. Reviews are greatly appreciated and helpful.
