Return to Middleton and Norman's Surprise

The whole flight back to Middleton, the team is silent. This is the first time they had attempted a rescue mission from a country with possibly the world's largest air force.

As they fly, Ron and the others write down assault ideas and exchange notes, seeing which ones they like and which they can actually do. Problem is, all the ideas are so tempting, it'd take them a week to do. For all the notes are within their capabilities.

Norman is sitting, quiet in thought when he has a realization. He then mutters, "I'll have to bring it out of retirement. I swore that I'd never use it again, but this situation is very dire indeed. I just hope Ron doesn't mind what I have in mind."

Jessica had even gotten in on the planning, throwing her two cents worth, saying everything on her mind. "I'd like to cut him up with a chainsaw, blow off his joints with a 12 gauge shotgun, put his ankles into a tandem axle on a big rig, stuff some C-4 up his ass and then detonate it. And just maybe, if he's really lucky, pull him apart with five pick-up trucks."

Bonnie asks, "What would you do with the tandem axles, Jessica?"

A sinister smile on her face, Jessica replies, "See how Captain Wang likes life with crushed ankles."

Hirotaka asks, "What about the five pick-up trucks?"

An evil chuckle escapes her as she replies, "We tie a rope around each of his limbs and finally his neck. We secure him to the ground and we pull the moron apart. Piece by piece."

Kim grins savagely and replies, "I can't begin to tell you how much I want to do that as well. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?"

The others nod in agreement and Ron notices Norman talking to himself. He goes over and asks, "You okay, Norman?"

Norman looks up, smiles and replies, "Just fine, Ron. I'm just thinking about something for the bike. That's all, no big." Ron just leaves it at that and rejoins the group, knowing that Norman has something very juicy in mind and will tell all when the time is right.

An hour later, they had put together a crude plan of action. Ron takes the helm and starts explaining the plan. "Once we get back to Middleton, we suit up and head for China. Given that War Bird has jet thrusters on it, we'll arrange for a series of mid-air flight refuels for it. One for each direction, seeing as Norman has found a marvelous way of conserving fuel in the helicopter. Jessica, you're with Kim in Sand Hawk. I'll go into the prison and find your Mom. If she's mobile on her own, she'll ride with the two of you on the buggy. I'll fly in and out with Bonnie in War Bird. Easier said than done, right? You'd be correct. So I'll let Dr. Director take it from here. Go ahead, Doc."

Dr. Director's voice comes through clearly via the Kimmunicator. "Upon nearing the Chinese territorial waters, you are to drop down to 20 feet above the water in order to evade the radar. Using stealth on your vehicles would be a good idea, but I'm not sure if you have that capability or not. Norman?"

"Well, I have dabbled with stealth on both of the air vehicles, and the turbofans on Sky Base can be muffled as well. War Bird does have whisper mode on it, but the baffles can only hold out for so long before they'd have to be replaced. But, in regards to the stealth, it's still in the prototype stage at this point. I was hoping to test it out under the right conditions. But now it looks like it's going to prove it's trustworthiness, one way or the other."

Dr. Director nods and continues, "To cover your infiltration and exfiltration, I called an old friend of mine in the Air Force. He's got a spare pilot that happened to have seen the news and wanted to join in this endevour. The pilot will be flying a GJ jet, announcing that he is part of a GJ rescue party with orders to remove Ms. Mach from her captors. More than likely, they'll send out Migs to discourage them. That flight is to be your decoy. If you see hostile action on the part of the Chinese, do nothing. If you call attention to yourselves, the mission is over as you would probably be dead."

Kim nods in understanding as Dr. Director clears her throat after drinking some water. "I've checked with a GJ operative in China. His name is Hu Wong. At last check, Lily is in the western part of the prison, lower level. This will make it easy for you to get to her, Ron. You are to get her onto the back of the cycle and drive out to Sand Hawk. Kim, you and Jessica will then haul ass back to Sky Base while Ron evacs over to War Bird. More than likely, gunshots will be fired, as the Chinese do not like the idea of people being extracted from their care."

Ron snorts derisively at that and Dr. Director chuckles at that as well. She then says, "It's possible you'll meet up with a Hind or two. If you have heavy weapons on board, use them, as the crewmen on the Hind tend to fight for keeps. We might as well oblige them. We're picking you up on radar now, so I'll hop off here until you guys get ready." At that, the screen goes black as the plane prepares to land.

Twenty minutes later, the Nakasumi plane had landed and all parties had gotten off the plane and ran into the hangar. They grab their suits and proceed to go into a secluded area so they can change.

Norman comes up to Jessica and says, "If you're intent on doing this, then I'd better arm and armor you, Jessica. Besides, I gotta get something out of Sky Base anyway." Jessica nods and follows Norman into the massive plane's belly. She sees Sand Hawk strapped down and smiles.

Norman brings out an M-4 carbine with M-203 grenade launcher, a .44 magnum Desert Eagle and a Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun. He then puts them on a nearby workbench.

Before he brings out the magazines and ammunition, he drops a bombshell on her. "Jessica, these are the weapons I went after your Father's killers with. I think it's fitting that you use them, just in case."

Jessica nods in understanding as he brings out the magazines and ammunition along with a bullet-proof vest. "This is the closest I can find in your size, Jessica. Hopefully it's a good fit."

Jessica smiles and says, "As long as it stays bullet-proof, that's the main thing. And, I thank you for avenging my Father. He must have meant the world to you."

"Yeah, he did. He started off as my test pilot, but he ultimately became my best friend. I couldn't do any less for him. Now let's see. Where did I put that thing? Ah, yes!"

He lets out a triumphant chuckle as he brings the item out and says, "Well, my lethal little friend, we meet again. Care to dispense some Justice?"

Making like he's listening to it, he then replies, "You would! Oh, happy days are here again!" He lets out a crazed cackle as he holds the item up into the air, inspecting it for any further damage.

He then remembers that he's not alone and explains, "This is the only piece that remained reasonably intact from the first motorcycle. In a way, it's fitting. Your Father used this same piece to get your Mother to safety and away from the Triads. I just can't understand how she figured out it was him."

Jessica muses, giggles slightly and replies, "Before I left China, she told me that Father had a dark side to him. A dark side on the side of Justice. She had always been perceptive. She must have felt the same thing from his alter ego and added it up."

She then looks downcast and says, "I hope she's all right, Norman. There's still so much that she wants to do in life. She still has yet to see me get married."

Norman gently places the item down, wraps Jessica in a gentle hug and says, "We'll do everything we can for her. Who knows? We may come up with a hot mince pie under each arm."

Jessica snorts and then giggles, turning it into a full belly laugh. Relieved that she's letting the stress go, he picks up the item and says, "The others should be ready by now. Let's go see them."

Jessica nods and proceeds to put the gear into the dune buggy, saying, "I'll get it ready later." The two then walk down the ramp when Jessica sees the members of Team Hawk in uniform and armed.

Norman says, "Ron, under the circumstances, I think it'd be appropriate if you used this for the mission."

His voice distorted, Ron asks, "What is it?"

"The weapons cowl from the first cycle. In here are .50 caliber machine guns and rocket launchers. Here's the beauty part. The cowls are interchangeable, so you can alternate between lethal and non-lethal. I think this sitch calls for lethal measures."

Norman then grins and adds, "Besides, I think Jesse would enjoy Wang getting a rocket enema right up his ass." This puts the team in stitches as Ron accepts the cowl and nods.

He, Bonnie and Hirotaka go to the helicopter and board up while Norman and the others return to the plane. The GJ unit that transported the helicopter with the cycle salutes the helicopter as it takes off, with Bonnie returning the salute.

When she's clear of the tarmac, she activates the jet thrusters and takes off into the horizon. The unit then moves out of the plane's path before getting a surprise.

Kim leans out of the back and sends memory blankers into their necks, not wanting to take any chances with them. At first, Dr. Director is miffed, but recalls what had happened the last time she trusted a GJ operative to interact with Street Hawk and the team.
