Elizabeth looked over at her daughter who looked incredibly healthy and as if she hadn't aged a day since the last time she had seen her. While she disliked the idea of her daughter running off into space and never seeing her again she looked really happy. She sighed saying, "While I still believe they brainwashed you I won't stand in your way. Will you at least stay for dinner we can have your favorite."

Jamie replied, "I can stay for dinner but make something healthy not that junk I used to eat." She knew Ab-hay and Mahnde would have a fit if she took in that much fat in one sitting. Even more so now when she had pups to think of as they had to helplessly take what she ate. She didn't want to start on the wrong foot being a bad bearer already only a few days into conception she wanted to think of them first.

Elizabeth threw up her hands saying, "It's official aliens brainwashed my daughter into thinking her favorite pizza is bad for her." Now smiling Elizabeth asked, "what do you eat these days?'

Jamie replied, "Very funny Mom, but I now eat a healthy diet high in protein mixed with fruits and vegetables Yautja hunt for a living fat has no use on the body other than to slow you down on a hunt. When you are too slow on a hunt it leads to losing kills and going hungry."

Elizabeth started grabbing a healthy meal and not calling for her daughter's favorite pizza. She started handing salad items to her daughter watching her make a salad with ease. She said while they cooked together, "You know Weyland Corporation has been very kind to me due to your death on the job. They planned and paid for the funeral even got me new furniture for the house to make amends."

Jamie dropped what she was doing and quickly went to the window she sighed seeing it was already too late. She turned on her tracking locator signal and quickly sent Ab-hay a message she turned to her Mother saying, "Turn off the stove Mom Weyland Corporation is about to storm the house to take well at least me hostage."

Elizabeth turned off the stove walking over to the window standing in awe at the large number of trucks and people dressed in battle gear outside of her home. She had never seen so many people surrounding a place before let alone her place. She felt a hand on her shoulder turning to her daughter she heard her sigh saying, "Stay in the house Mom if you're lucky they will take me and leave. If not I suggest you run and don't look back Weyland Corporation can't be trusted."

Elizabeth couldn't believe they had come for her daughter she was no alien they had to be here for some other reason. She ignored her well-meaning daughter and stormed to the front door she was dealing with this and sending Weyland Corporation on its merry way. She opened the door storming out yelling at the battle gear covered troops saying, "What in the hell is going on here? There is no need for all this I am just an old woman. Seriously what is Weyland Corporation thinking?"

Jamie shook her head well at least now she understood where she got her fearless nature from. Her Mom had just managed to stop all the Weyland Corporation troops in their tracks all now standing still not moving an inch. One stepped forward Jamie guessed he was in charge of things she watched as he approached her Mother. He stopped pulling his gun out of its holster and pointing it directly at her Mother saying, "I know you're in there I suggest you come out and she doesn't have to be hurt."

Jamie growled he was threatening her Mother with a gun when she wasn't armed. Once again oomans proving to her how dishonorable they were. They were proving to her yet again that her own kind were nothing but Bad Bloods. Jamie moved growling in agitation to the door swinging it open with force glaring at the male point a gun at her Mother. Jamie took a defensive stance saying, "Let my Mother go ooman and I will consider coming quietly. Don't and I am not responsible for the carnage that will happen to your men."

He cocked the gun in a checkmate move while Jamie tried to calculate the time it would take her to get to her Mother she knew there was no way she'd make it. Allowing him to kill her would be dishonorable sometimes being one of high honor sucked especially when your opponent didn't play by the rules. She growled and roared at them an impressive Yautja roar for a human. She looked on in disgust as half of the men wet themselves at the sound. Only one not unnerved by her was still holding the gun to her head. She stalked closer to the male making sure he did nothing until he yelled out, "That's close enough one more step and I put a hole in her head. Now be a good girl and go to that van and Mommy dearest will live to see another day."

She was way outnumbered and even with Ab-hay's skills they were outmanned so to speak. She knew he had already summoned help and it was only a matter of time before they arrived. She looked at the van the soldiers were there holding the doors open for her. She returned her gaze to the male she believed he'd carry out his threat so she asked, "How do I know you won't hurt her anyway. I want to be assured you will leave her alone and unharmed if I go with you quietly."

She knew she was stalling for time she hoped he was stupid and didn't know what she was doing. She definitely didn't want to go to some other location with these people without at least making an effort to slow them down. She was staring him down not flinching waiting for a response. He was at a loss of what to do his orders were to bring both women to the Weyland Corporation research facility. He grinned replying, "My orders are to bring you both alive if possible to Wayland research facility I won't assure anything."
