Airwolf is somebody else's, probably Universal's or Bellisarius', and I freely admit that whoever's it is, I'm borrowing their show and they retain all rights, etc.
NOTE: The chapters which make up Duplicity II have now been added and the story is complete. If you've already read Duplicity I, skip straight to Duplicity II: Part I.
UPCOMING: Reality Check I and II: The return of an old foe threatens to destroy everything Stringfellow Hawke loves... (My intention is to do the same as I did with Duplicity and post this over two weeks, the first part being posted next Saturday. However as the story is complete, if I get a few requests to post it all at once, I will do). The Other Blackjack: Stringfellow Hawke receives a mysterious message from his brother but tragedy strikes before a rescue can be mounted...(This is the season 4 premiere episode retold primarily from the original Airwolf's team perspective). Closure: Those left behind deal with the repercussions of the events of Blackjack.
Duplicity I and II are the nineteenth and twentieth stories that I'm writing to cover the period between the end of the 3rd season and the beginning of the 4th. If you have read the other eighteen stories (Single Parent Hawke, The Jade Wolf, The Truth About Caitlin, Old Friends New Enemies, Hawke's Wolf, Father Figures, Personal Business, Hidden Truths, Homecomings, The Ex Factor, A Question of Loyalty, You Are Cordially Invited, The Odd Couple, Spirit of the Wolf, Ghosts, A High Price to Pay, Prime Suspect and Traces in the Mist), you can skip straight to the story in the next chapter…or read this brief recap of the story so far:
When Stringfellow Hawke reunites Le, the boy he incorrectly believed to be his nephew, with the boy's newly found mother, it is the start of a hectic time for the Airwolf team as a series of missions test their ingenuity, abilities and even the strength of their relationships…
An attempt to take Airwolf by a power hungry General brings Dominic Santini's niece, Jo, back into his life and provides new information on Hawke's missing brother, Saint John which eventually leads Hawke on a mission to Cambodia to find Saint John; the mission is ultimately unsuccessful and the deputy director of the FIRM, Michael Coldsmith-Briggs III, continues to try and find Hawke's brother – now believed to be working for an intelligence agency called the Company, the same agency the FIRM is being amalgamated with by order of Congress. Michael knows the Company will not honour the deal he has made with Hawke and the spy confesses to Hawke that the FIRM is building a third Airwolf.
When the original Airwolf starts showing signs of developing artificial intelligence, the project starts building two Airwolf machines; one which will ultimately be the next generation of her type but another which the team intend to pass off to the Company as the original when the take-over happens. The whole idea of the merger causes Zeus, the director of the FIRM, to make an attempt to take back Airwolf that leaves Michael's former senior aide, Marella badly injured. The incident prompts Michael into moving his relationship with her to a more personal footing, asking his former senior aide on a date.
The merger also reveals that Jo Santini may be a Company spy – it adds to the stress that Dom is already under, having recently been taken hostage by an old enemy – one that he and Hawke's father faced years before. Whilst Dom is rescued by Hawke, it prompts Dom to question the fate of Hawke's parents; could they be alive? Dom confides in Michael in the hopes the other man can find out the truth but decides not to reveal his theory to Hawke who has found happiness by marrying his close friend and the third member of the Airwolf team, Caitlin O'Shaunessy. As the couple are reunited after Hawke's Cambodia trip, their attention returns to their attempt to start their family…
And now the next instalments: Duplicity I & II.
