Brender's Report and Sky Base's Arrival

The next morning, Mannion is looking over Brender's report, scowling as he does so. He then reads Officer Cutter's report and notes a discrepancy. He rises from his seat, goes to his office door and says, "Brender, can I see you in my office, please?" Brender walks to Mannion's office, Mannion closes the door and says, "Brender, something about your report doesn't quite jive with Cutter's. Here's what Cutter's report had to say."

"Officer Phillip Brender and myself arrived at the Wu Tong Dinery in response to a call from a Police call box. Upon arrival, we were fired upon by the suspect using a fully automatic Uzi. I called in for backup and advised shots had been fired. Ten minutes later, a helicopter armed with machine guns on it's belly arrived on the scene. One of the side doors opened and Officer Nancy Parris was inside the helicopter, poised to fire if necessary. The suspect then opened fire on the helicopter, aiming to hit Officer Parris. The helicopter turned to prevent injury to Officer Parris and fired what seemed to be a tranquilizer round into the suspect. The door then closed and the helicopter left the scene."

Mannion looks at Brender, smiles and says, "Here's what yours said."

"Officer John Cutter and myself responded to a call at the Wu Tong Dinery. Upon arrival, we were fired upon by the perpetrator. Cutter called in for backup and advised that backup was on the way. Officer Nancy Parris arrived in her Patrol cruiser and shot the perpetrator with a tranquilizer dart."

He then looks at Brender, smiles and says, "You can tell me, or I can get it from Parris myself, Phillip. It's your choice."

Brender sighs and replies, "You probably wouldn't believe it. I don't even believe it. If I tell you, what's to stop you from thinking I'm nuts?"

"If it makes you feel any better, I think you're nuts already. Heck, the whole world is nuts. It's up to me to decide if you need time off or not."

Brender sighs and replies, "Cutter's report was spot on. Parris was in that helicopter and it did save her life. I decided to scale it down, thinking it'd be too outlandish, even during these times."

Mannion smiles and replies, "I understand, Phillip. If you could, please get Officer Parris for me and consider yourself on report. At least for right now." Brender meekly nods and exits the office. Five minutes later, a knock sounds on the door. "Come in."

Parris steps in and says, "Brender said you wanted to see me, sir."

"Indeed I did, Parris. Have a seat, please." Once she's seated, Mannion goes on. "Officer Brender took a massive risk by filing a false report. Of course, he did it due to loyalty to a fellow Officer and also to keep from being considered to be crazy. Those circumstances are enough to spare him. Now for your side of it. What exactly happened last night, Nancy?"

At that, Parris tells him everything, adding that she had been sworn to secrecy and being assured that it goes no further between the two of them. She then tells him the biggest news she ever heard from her new friends.

"They have advanced body armor. Armor that can even stand up to armor-piercing rounds, armor that we can use. War Bird then told me that they had been working toward this point in time. However, that was all they could tell me."

Mannion strokes his chin in thought and says, "I'm coming with you tonight so I could meet with them. If anything, I'll tell them that you were threatened with dismissal from the force and jailed. That should give you some leniency." At that, Parris nods at Mannion and returns to her duties for the remainder of the shift.

In Middleton, Norman is preparing Sky Base for take-off. Having been advised that they had made contact with a member of the local Law Enforcement, he suggested that they remain in place and that he doubted they could find a more suitable location. He blows Jane a kiss and she returns it, watching as Norman rolls the aircraft forward out of the hangar. She then watches as the plane increases it's speed and leaves the ground.

Once it's out of view, she gets into Rolling Base, looks behind her, sees the high-tech motorcycle is securely strapped down, turns back around, smiles and starts the drive to D.C. Norman figured it would about a day and a half, maybe two, before she gets to D.C. She elects to sleep in the van at truck stops, primarily when she refuels the van.

In the sky above, Norman is flying Sky Base when the radar indicates a potential hostile. He checks it out and sees it's an F-15 Eagle. He grins and toggles the radio, preset to Military frequencies, and makes his announcement. "Attention, F-15 Eagle. This is Sky Base, inbound to Washington D.C. Is there a problem I should be aware of?"

"Sky Base, this is Colonel Brian Mach with the U.S. Air Force. There is no problem now that we've established your ident. I'll escort you into D.C. airspace, sir."

His curiosity peaked, Norman asks, "Any relation to Jesse Mach?"

"Affirmative, sir. He was my brother. I take it you knew him?"

"That I did. He was a good man, Brian. I just wish he had told me more about his family."

Mach chuckles and replies, "I guess you could say that Jesse and I were the black sheep of the family. You see, our parents always put sports ahead of us first, instead of duty and love of country. Jesse finally got tired of the rabble when it came to racing dirt bikes, so he became a Motorcycle Police Officer. He was barely on the force for three years before he was injured. The next year, he died. Were you with him when he died?"

"Somewhat. We were tied in with closed-circuit recording equipment up until the cycle was destroyed. I take it you hadn't heard the details of Jesse's death."

"That is a roger. How did Jesse die and how did you feel about it?"

Norman sighs and replies, "He was killed instantly when a missile struck a prototype motorcycle that he was on. I was anguished and took bitter comfort that he did not suffer. I just wish I could turn back time and save his life."

"Wise man once said, 'As long as you keep the desire to change things in your heart, nothing will change. Only cherish your fondest memories and ignore the sad ones.' In any case, we're coming up on D.C. now, Sky Base. I'll end my escort now."

"Roger that, Colonel Mach. Hope to fly beside you again sometime."

"Likewise, Sky Base. Likewise." At that, the F-15 veers away from Sky Base and returns to it's assigned patrol route.

Norman clears his throat and says, "Safe House Control, this is Sky Base. I'm in the neighborhood. How are things at your end?"

Hirotaka's voice comes back clearly, "Sky Base, this is Safe House Control. We have you in sight and you're clear to land. Come to Runway 1 and the lights are on. Welcome to Washington, D.C."

"Roger that, Safe House Control." At that, Norman turns on his landing lights and initiates landing procedures. Within five minutes, he's landed and then spots a metropolitan Police cruiser approaching the hangar. He starts to pull up when he hears Bonnie's voice come through.

"It's okay, Sky Base. Our local friendly has just arrived with her boss. You may want to mask up. At least until Street and Sand Hawk show up. How's Rolling Base's trip faring?"

Norman chuckles and replies, "Give me a moment and I can tell you." He then changes frequencies and says, "Sky Base to Rolling Base. How's your drive so far?"

Jane replies, "So far, so good, Sky Base. How was the flight?"

"Uneventful. Made contact with Safe House Control and we have a couple of locals out here meeting up with us. It seems that War Bird caught an Officer's attention here last night. I'll get a full briefing once I get inside the house."

"Roger that, Sky Base. Will let you know when I get close to coordinates. ETA, one day and five hours."

"Copy, Rolling Base. See you when I see you, honey." They then exchange a kiss over the air and Norman changes frequencies to inform Bonnie of Jane's progress.

Once the information had been relayed, Bonnie and Hirotaka are guiding him in with lights and hand signals. Once they get him into the hangar, he powers down the engines and sees a sharply dressed man along with a Police Officer walking into the hangar. He goes to the supply hold, finds a mask and puts it on. He then opens the door and goes down the steps.

Mannion sees two helmeted figures rush into the hangar after closing the doors, fully armed and ready for trouble. He then sees the rear loading door open and a man wearing a suit and a mask walking down the steps of the aircraft. He decides to let Parris do the introductions.

"Chief Mannion, this is the advance team from Middleton, Colorado. War Bird, Ninja and someone I believe happens to be their supervisor. Team Hawk, this is Chief Jack Mannion of the Metropolitan Police Department for Washington, D.C."

The masked man nods and says, "I'm Base. This is our primary transport aircraft, Sky Base. Rolling Base and the other members of Team Hawk should be arriving in the next two and a half days."

Mannion chuckles and says, "Unless I miss my guess, Base, I believe that your name is Norman Tuttle. I was informed by the A.G. that you would be coming here to speak with a Senate Subcommittee. I don't suppose you could fill me in, could you."

Norman sighs, removes his mask and says, "I am indeed Norman Tuttle. As for my purpose here, all I can tell you is that my team and I have been working toward this goal for about two years. They are motivated and good at what they do. If all goes well, you may find some nice surprises in your local Police garages."

Mannion blanches and says, "Not this big I hope. This is a big sucker right here."

War Bird chuckles and says, "Not quite this big, Chief Mannion. Norman, should I show him War Bird and Sand Hawk?"

"Sure. I think he's earned a look at the equipment, given his reputation in the Law Enforcement community." War Bird and Ninja nod, while Mannion and Parris take on confused faces. Norman interprets it and explains. "You see, we take names of the vehicles we operate or our skill. Ninja is a ninja, War Bird is the helicopter, Sand Hawk is a dune buggy, operated by another member and Street Hawk is a motorcycle. Street and Sand Hawk are a husband and wife team, much like War Bird and Ninja."

Mannion, his mind blown, nods meekly and Parris can only chuckle as she pats Mannion on the back, saying, "It's a lot to take in, sir. Let's give it time to absorb into you." At that, the two follow War Bird as she shows them the equipment.
