A sudden down draft sent the helicopter into a steep dive. String's eyes narrowed even as he grinned widely. As his hands moved on the collective, the storm outside the sleek aircraft roared. Ignoring the protests of his companions, pilot and machine concentrated on the winds, smoothly moving with the tempestuous gusts. Rain slashed across the hull sounding like a spray of bullets. Lightning skated along the clouds, encircling the rapidly moving aircraft and letting it escape unharmed.

"That's it" Dom bellowed from the back. "We're not doing anymore jobs for the Hurricane Center. Makes String think we're a roller coaster!"
