OCC: Now to fix it Hondo's and Jeanette's post; they need to be stitched together.

Fernando: Now that is a tune I have not heard in a very long time. Annie Rossellini I presume?
Annie: I was getting worried that you were not going to show up. Revenge for me standing you up at Pierre's of Madison?
Fernando: We were, how can I say, distracted from our path. You want to join us for breakfast?
Annie: Thank you for the offer.

They walk to the resturant door. Fernando opens the door for Annie, and follows her in. He holds the door for Hondo who follows behind. The waiting staff takes them to a table at the rear, set for 4. The 4th setting is removed, making it for three. Fernando orders the Mizzmila's Italian Scramble, with mozzarella, and recommends a Basil Frittata to Hondo. 'Its your basic cheese omelet, order it with italian ham.' Annie orders Spinach Ricotta Frittata, with everyone ordering coffee. While they wait for their meal, they have a conversation.

Annie: What is an American General like you doing in Italy?
Fernando: I'm retired now.
Annie: Retired?
Fernando: Eyesight is failing, as well as other things. So before I make a wrong decision because of my failing health, I figure I would leave before it happens and go out to see the world. How thing are with you?

Anne drops the dumb teen act. "The Republican Faction has the man who ran Tammy and Bink off the road and wants to hand him over to you."

"Why is a home-grown terrorist group suddenly interested in Tammy's wellbeing?" Fernando asked.

"For once we have something in common."

"I doubt it and who is this 'we' you're talking about?"

"I know you are not an American general and you know whom I actually work for."

"You are showing a lot of trust by revealing this in front of Hondo."

"You would have revealed this to him anyway." Anne replied. "You already know the RF started as a grass-roots campaign to fight government corruption. What you may not know is it lost sight of it's objective as it got bigger. You helped in getting rid of some bad apples. The now smaller militia group is a little more focused on its objective."

"A terrorist group by any other name. . . . What is this all about?" Fernando asked.

"We too want to eliminate the LSD traffickers."

"There is something in that tone of yours. What is it?"

"It should not come as a surprise to you that I despise the SWA." Anne leaned closer to Fernando. "They should have been on that jet six months ago." Anne resumes her previous position. "Tammy is almost as much of a threat to herself as those who are after her. Unless she gets serious, she is no safer here in Italy than she would if she were in America."

"This is not about Tammy. Tell me about the LSD traffickers. You said you have the man who ran Tammy and Bink off the road."

"If you want to get the LSD traffickers, you need to get some information from this guy."

"You didn't go through all this trouble just for that."

"That and convince you to take Tammy and Bink back to America where they would be in no greater danger than they are here."

"So there will be one less fratello."

"Some of us, such as myself, despise the SWA for the same reason you once did."

"And you wish to close down the SWA by any means at your disposal."

"Yes and without harming the girls in the process. Stopping the LSD traffickers take priority."

"With the corrupt politicians dealt with, this is your new cause. Where is this guy?"

Anne hands Fernando a piece of paper with a set of GPS coordinates. "You will find him tied up in the woods. You may want to do something soon. He will be a little hungry and thirsty when you find him."

"How do we know you are not using this supposed suspect as bait to trap us?"

"What do you want?"

Fernando: How much do you know about the girls in the SWA? If you can answer that in a manner that I am lookin for, and I will tell you why Tammy and Bink can not return to America.

Malpensa Airport, Milan, Italy, late afternoon.

Midnight has just left the plane from the transfer flight together with the other "replacement pilot" who in fact belongs to the RAS when he receives a mail on his PDA. He is told that someone is waiting for him in a nearby parking garage, and where exactly that "someone" is waiting. Although he knows or at least is sure that nobody outside his team knows that secret mail address of his, he expects an ambush and hesitates to go until the other mouse says, "Come on, let's go, they won't wait for long." So he does, still preparing himself mentally for being trapped without a weapon.

In the garage which is outside the airport's security zone, at the location mentioned in the mail, he meets four mice dressed formally, three males and one female. They are standing in front of a white Fiat Ducato van parked with the front to the wall.

"Mr. Viscount," the female says, "also known as Midnight."

"The same," Midnight replies. "And you happen to be..."

"Friends," one of the males states.

"'Friends' can mean a lot, from real friendship to a lousy disguise for the opposite."

"'The Rangers sent us.' Is that sufficient as a password?" the same male asks.

"I'm still careful, but for now, I accept it. So why are you here, and why am I here?"

"Your equipment," another male mouse says. "You couldn't take much with you disguised as a commercial pilot. So we have to provide you with what you need right here." He hands Midnight a black leather briefcase which appears to be quite stuffed.

"Of course, you also need a transport to be more mobile on this mission," he adds and motions to the car parked next to the van, a black Lancia Delta Evoluzione. "Don't worry about the rumors that these cars are unreliable, it's overhauled thoroughly and equipped with a tuned rally engine. 500 hp, four wheel drive, it goes like heck and handles like heaven."

"That's all nice and all," Midnight says, "but I don't have a driver's license."

"You're carrying so many faked ID cards, passports, and such, so a faked license or two will certainly not be too much," the first male speaks and hands him the documents.

"What I mean is I've never driven a car. Besides, I'm more comfortable with two wheels, despite never having ridden a motorcycle either."

"You mean you could rather get used to riding a motorcycle than to driving an automobile?" the female asks, and Midnight nods.

"Then have a look at this." She opens the van's rear doors. In the back of the Ducato is a... Ducati. A black Ducati Monster 900 held upright by straps. The straps are removed, a ramp is put in place, and the bike is pushed out of the van. Midnight receives another set of licenses and the keys. "Is this one okay for you, or are you more into BMW boxers?"

"Hey, having a German origin doesn't mean preferring German bikes. Yes, it's perfectly okay for me."

"Start it up and see if it suits you. You may still give it back if it doesn't."

Midnight swings himself onto the motorcycle, inserts the key, and starts up the engine. The deep thunder of the Desmo V-2 mill reverberates in the garage. Technically, he knows how to handle it, where gas, brakes, clutch, and shifting are, but he has no practice. But there's no way back. He puts in the first gear and rides all the way through the garage, turns, and comes back, this time moving a bit faster.

"I think my Italian is improving," he jokes, "for I understand this bike better and better." He turns around again, lets the bike roll slowly, stands up on the footrests, and cranks up the throttle, producing a burnout on the concrete floor. He sits down, speeds down the way, and performs a sliding U-turn, proving that he can estimate how the bike will react in which situation. As he returns again, he thinks about trying a stoppie for a moment, but he doesn't do one.

"You like it, huh?" the female asks.

"Definitely," Midnight responds.

"Fabio, register the bike on his name. It's his now."

One of the male mice sits down in the van, takes a laptop computer and starts to click and type away. "Online registration," he says. "Not quite legal, but no-one actually cares. Welcome to 21st century's Italy."

"You arrived early," the female speaks on, "since you came here by jet plane. You're not expected before tomorrow, so you might use the rest of the day to get familiar with the bike. Your hotels are booked, one here in Milan for tonight, one in Rome for as long as you need. You will find a road map and check-in cards in the briefcase. Your baggage will be taken care of."

Soon after, the group dissolves. Fabio takes the van and brings the other fake pilot to the local RAS headquarters, and the other three mice take the Lancia and follow Midnight who, dressed in black leather and wearing a matching black helmet now, rides the black Ducati through Milan and the surrounding countryside. When he arrives at his hotel, it is already dark, because he insisted in practicing in the darkness, sometimes even with the headlight turned off.

"Thank you, Captain."

The bat goes to the quarters provided, finds something to hang upsidedown from, and... does absolutely nothing, as far as anyone can see.

In the meantime, something starts searching through news websites throughout Italy, correllating, keeping track, predicting movements; and not just news websites, either, but servers across the country...

It breaks all too easily into Tammy's hospital records. After taking a copy of the information it's after, it quietly reinforces the hospital's digital defenses, leaving itself only one small, carefully-hidden, password-protected hole (in case it needs to return later) in the digital equivalent of a steel-reinforced wall that it places around the hospital's servers.

"You believe that only adults, who happen to be better trained than Tammy, should go after these traffickers?" Fernando asked.

"As a matter of fact, I do."

"As a matter of fact, I do."


Fernando: Do you value Tammy's life?

Annie: To an extent, yes. It is really Bink who I am concerned about . . . rather all the girls in the SWA. I value Tammy's life in the sense she is the only family Bink has left.

Fernando: In the land of America, where people sip from the bowl of Agency Alphabet Soup, many would want to pay big bucks to get their hands on Bink. And I'm not talking about millions of dollars, but tens of millions of dollars. For that reason alone, the Rangers can no longer protect Tammy's life if she were to return with Bink. And I thought about taking on the other girls as well as Bink, but realized that no one would who care for them be safe, because the care givers to these girls would be targetted for elimination and the girls captured for what ever evil schemes there maybe. I would rather have the SWA give something to Tammy that we Rescue Rangers can not give: protection and training to protect herself.

Anne: Could you do me a favor. Keep Tammy in the SWA compound until she takes her job and her training serious.

Fernando: That depends on them, I can only give a recommendation and have a long talk with her. She already went through 6 months of training.

Anne: In that case, Tammy is no more safe here than what she would be in America. Furthermore, her inability to take her job seriously is putting Bink's life on the line as well.

Fernando: She is safer here, because I would rather have her die on the job fighting than having some organized group break into her house to kill her and kidnap Bink while she sleeps.

Anne does not respond. She knows the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Fernando: I would rather have her die with a commendation and a medal than to be a dot on some government statistics chart.

Hondo: We get the point already.

Fernando: In short, Tammy Needs To Grow Up.

After a bit of silience and a few bites out of their meals, Fernando adds the following:

Fernando: I dont know if you see it on a global scale, Annie, but these girls are worth tens of millions of dollars to anyone who can get their hands on them. Every technologically adviced nation; the Germans, Americans, British, French, Italian and Japanese have their own cyborg warrior program going on. Each one is willing to steal the other's technology to see at what level they are on. Furthermore other less technologically advanced nations, and large organized groups would pay double to have them and put them into their forced labour or military camps or worst- disect and implement the technologies onto others. The seriousness of this nature superceeds the drug and political crisis everyone here has their heads spinning about. As far as I am concerned- this left wing/right wing bull is for the birds!

OOC: I am not including technology that was not already used in the original "Gunslinger Bink."

Anne carefully puts her thoughts together. "Without the training there is only one place on earth more safe for Tammy and her sister Bink and that is the Rescue Ranger Headquarters. The Rescue Rangers poses technology which the SWA does not. That is because they are inventors, not soldiers."

"For Tammy and Bink to remain safe, they would be confined 24/7. Essentially they would be prisoners." Fernando pointed out. "Here, they have a chance to be free."

"Which is true and if she was given the choice between living in a high tech fortress and living here as a soldier my money is on her staying here."

"What's the point?" Fernando asked.

"If she understands that she does have choice between two evils, she might be more accepting of a decision she made than a decision that was thrust upon her."

"You are conceding that the SWA is a lesser evil?" Fernando continued.

"As much as I despise the SWA for what they did, I am." Anne replied. "Understand this, if I find out that they have conditioned another child there will be heck to pay."

Fernando has some reservations about the last thing Anne said. "The SWA has eliminated what you called 'bad apples' in the Republican Faction. Explain to me how there will be heck to pay if the SWA is able to take out your garbage."

"I, not the RF, have access to a piece of technology which the Rescue Rangers poses. It just might be enough to turn the tide on the SWA." Anne was not gloating in her statement. There was something different. "Unless the SWA is back to their old tricks, going against them would be pointless. All that would have been accomplished is shattering what sense of security these kids have."

Information seems to be the one of the few things that they both argee on.
What the SWA does to the children is but a matter of opinion, though they both dont agree on having the girls live shorten lives and in service to the government agency that deals in death of corrupt criminals because the entire government is corrupt; from the lowiest traffic agent to the highest court judge. But there is something about the SWA that sets them apart from all others; self-righteousness. A perverted self-righteousness that makes them believe that they are the answer to the country's problem, dispensed fromthe business end of a gun.

Fernando Wait right here, I have something in the car for you.

Fernando returns to the table with a briefcase. From inside, he pulls out a folder containing medical files and pictures of the girls before the SWA took them in and turned them into cyborgs:
medical files wrote:
Bink: only survivor of a masscre of a family of 6 by a violent gang attack; severely beaten, multilated and raped multiple times by the multilated bodies of her dead family. Left to die by the gang. Tried to commit suicide while at the hospital. Multilation includes: slicing of right ear, destruction of left eye, amputation of right leg above the knee, amputation of left arm above the elbow, amputation of right hand, injury to reproductive organ with mechanical instrument, multiple broken bones. Additional injuries from suicide attempt.

Triela: Found in Amsterdam child sex slave ring; was found raped and multilated. Died and rescusitated several times on way to hospital. Multilation includes amputation of digits by each joint on each hand, amputation of both hands at the wrists, amputation of feet at the ankles, partial disembowlement, large incision across the larynx.

Rico: Born with severe multiple birth defects which leaves her unable to move; of these birth defects includes Spinal Bifida.

Angelica: At age 6, was ran over by her father to collect on death insurance claim. Multiple broken bones, including a broken neck and a fractured skull. Severe organ and nuerological damage; paralysed from the 3rd thorasic vertibre down.

Claes: Age 10, fell out of a 6th story window after a family arguement, both parents were arrested for the incident. Multiple broken bones, including broken neck and fractured skull. Die and rescusitated enroute to hospital.

Elsa: Only Survivor of jetliner accident in Milan It., which includes her parents, 1 sister and 1 brother. She had multiple broken bones and 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 65% of her body. (Note: Deceased; killed while protecting her handler, who was also killed.)


Fernando: Consider that these girls were better of dead, the SWA gave them new bodies and new lives. In fact both Triela and Claes were dead. I still dont agree with what the government does with these girls. But I dont agree with building bombs to kill people and destroy property to make a point either.

Hondo just sat and listened. He didn't trust Red headed gals one bit. It might not be a true for all opinion, but it was his. besides this gal had an air of suspicion 'bout her.
*ouch!* Hondo thought as Fernando made his last comment. Hondo agreed with Fernando on this totally. The gal sat there with a look between anger and indignation. She was obviously tryin' to keep her composure. Hondo just hoped she would leave soon so Fernando could fill him in like he had planned on.

When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction. ImageIf you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

Anne looks over the files and pictures. "This goes back to which is the lesser evil." Anne takes a breath. "The SWA has given these kids a new chance at life. A life that, which you pointed out, will never be the same. They would have to be guarded for the rest of their lives." Anne closes the folder. "Back to the man who sent Tammy and Bink to the hospital. Do you want to pick him up yourselves or do you want him delivered? There are no strings attached. We just want to get this scum."

"What would you do if you did not have a cause?" Fernando asked.

Anne does not answer.
