Title: End of GsB II Post by Fernando on Jun 11th, 2008, 4:19pm Note: Though this is the last entry of GsB II, GsB II is not finished as it needs a few more entries added before this one. I put it here separate from the rest of GsB II until it is completed, then it will be appended to it as its end. No further additions or changes are to be made to this actual post, and when it completes GsB II, GsB III will start once a basic story idea can be compiled. It is placed here for all non-participating Cabin members to read, as it ties in to other stories in the cafe. -- -- -- -- -- GsB II End Post -- -- -- -- -- Everyone is gathered at Church of St. Francis of Assisi for the wedding of Tammy P. Squirrel and Fernando G. A time portal at the foyer of the church is allowing visitors and guests from the Cafe to enter the church. The first 2 rows of pews are set for family and close friends, with the right side for the groom and the left side for the bride. Hondo sits at the steps of the alter with a shotgun on his lap along with a tiny palmtop to control the dimensional portal as per Fernando's instructions. Bink held the wedding rings, and sat in the back row with Rose and the other maids of honor. The other cyborgs were there with her as ring bearer's protector. The organ played various selections from Beethoven, Bach and Mozart in a very low volume. Gadget was already there in her black dress, with her husband Chip and the rest of the Rangers in the third row of Tammy's side. Several tough looking mice and squirrels were in the 3rd and 4th rows of the Fernando's side; old friends of his from a more adventurous days of his youth. With names like 'The Night Runner' and 'The Shadow', they were pretty much left to their own. Up above in the rafters was Tinkerbell along with the Fairy Queen and several fairies, adding to the special effect for the day. Neither the bride or groom has yet to arrive. Tammy was at her SWA Dorm with Priscilla getting prepared for her big day. She stand in front of a barrowed full length mirror to examine how she looks in her bridal dress. She tries to fluff out her gown, but cant seem to shake off her nervousness. Priscilla: You have to relax, Tammy. No one likes a nervous bride. Tammy: That's easy for you to say, you're not getting married! Priscilla: You look fine. You'll be fine... Tammy: But what if I mess up? Priscilla: You wont. After a second of silence between the two... Priscilla: You got everything? Tammy: Everything? Priscilla: You know- Something old, something new, something barrowed, something blue. Tammy: I think so. Priscilla: So, what you got? Tammy: Huh? Priscilla: What you got that is old? Tammy: Oh... wait... uhm... I got my sweat sox on. Priscilla (sarcastically): How romantic. Tammy: Seriously, these shoes are uncomfortable. At least the sox provide some padding. Priscilla: OK... how about something new? Tammy: The wedding dress, of course. Priscilla: Good... something barrowed? Tammy (holding out her open purse to Priscilla): Ferro lent me her gun. Priscilla: I see where this marriage is going. Tammy: Ferro insisted. How could I say no? Priscilla: I'll have a talk to her about that after the wedding. How about something blue? Tammy: My underwear... Priscilla: How is that possible- such a contrast would be seen through the dress. Tammy: Its light sky blue... Priscilla: it should be dark blue. Tammy: Does it? Priscilla: Alright... you don't have to change them. At least it is blue... Tammy: Anything else? Priscilla: I think that's it. Tammy sighs as she looks at herself in the mirror. Priscilla takes Tammy by the hand and starts leading her out the door. Priscilla: Come on girl, you don't want to be late to your own wedding. Tammy needed help and had to walk slow in her high heels, though some would not consider 3inches as a high heel shoe. Eventually they make their way to the front of the SWA Dormitory where a stretch limousine was waiting for them, driven Amedeo. Once inside the vehicle, Amedeo drives them to the church. Fernando was at the safe house preparing for his big day. He was already dressed except for his tuxedo jacket, which rested on the back of one of the dining room chairs. His gun was in its shoulder holster, waiting to be put on, on the table by the jacket. He had made for himself a small snack of roast beef and swiss with wine, taking his time in eating it. The Porsche was parked outside waiting for him at the driveway. A knock was at the door, which perturbed Fernando as there should be no body knocking on the door, especially on this day of all days. He slowly walks over to the door, checking the security monitors, finding a red-headed mouse at the door. Without his glasses being on, he could hardly made out the details of the woman outside. But as such, he thought of her to be no threat, so he walks over to the door and opens it. Fernando: How can I help you? Red-Haired Mouse: Don't you remember me? Fernando: Anne? It cant be... Anne: Why? Because you killed me? Fernando: I did what had to be done- you took Tammy's gun and was going to use it. Anne: Does that make it justifiable? Fernando: I did what I had to do, Anne. I don't expect you to forgive me in that. Anne: But I do forgive you. Fernando: You do? Anne: Can I come in? I need  some rest. The injuries you gave me tire me out so easily. Fernando: Well, uhm... Anne: Oh, you busy? Got company or something? Fernando: I'm about to leave in a few minutes... for a wedding. Anne: Yours? Fernando: Afraid so. Anne: Who is she? Is she that red-headed squirrel... what her name... Tammy? Fernando: It is. Anne: I can wait with you. I would like to go and see it happen... you and her getting married. Fernando glances over to the alarm panel which said that Annie was not carrying anything that could be considered as a weapon. He then walks away from the door, leaving it open. Anne enters the place behind him, not closing the door. She follows him to the dining area. Anne: Can I have something to drink, water would be best. Fernando: Uhm, hold on. Fernando walks around the service island into the kitchen and gets out a clean glass for her. He fills it with ice and then water. Anne had found his gun neatly holster away on the table. She quietly removes it from the holster and takes aim to him. He turns to put the glass on the service island, seeing Anne having his weapon already aimed at him. Fernando: You don't want to do that. Anne: I don't? Understand where I am. You killed my lover and then you tried to kill me. Fernando: If he did not pull out his gun, then I would not had killed him. Anne: You had your gun between my breasts, he was trying to defend me! Fernando: All I wanted was answers, I did not wanted to shoot you. But since your kind of people only listen to ideas at the end of a gun, I had little choice. Anne: You want those answers? Yes, it was one of our bombs. We wanted to blow up that plane with the SWA personnel in it. We wanted to end the Frankensteinian work that they do. It is not fair what they do to those girls. They had to be stopped, their work had to end. Fernando: At the price of innocent lives? Anne: Innocent people always get hurt when opposing sides clash. Fernando: You knew that I was to pilot that plane back, didn't you? Anne: The cockpit would have remained intact in the explosion, you are a flying squirrel, you would have survived. Fernando: But not my daughter. Anne: Daughter? Fernando: Dr. Aiesha G. She was part of the group trying to undo the conditioning and cyborgnetic implants of the girls. Anne: She would have survived. Fernando: How so? Anne: She's a flying squirrel like you, she would have flown like you would have. Fernando: She is only 1/2 flying squirrel. She would have landed too hard in the water and be killed from the impact. That is if she would not have been killed or hurt by the initial explosions that would have taken out the fuel tanks, spilling flaming fuel into the passenger section. Anne: You lie. Fernando: And you're letting yourself be blinded by your own actions. Anne: Like you know what it is like to be blind. You just wear those glasses just for show. Fernando: Think what you like. Anne: Think what I know. Fernando: What about Tammy? Anne: What about her? Fernando: She would have been on that flight too. All she ever wanted was to recover her sister Bink. Anne: Innocent lives have to pay the price when they agree with the guilty. Fernando: At the time, she did not side with them. She only wanted to recover her sister Bink from them. Now you are going to deny her a marriage, a family, and happiness? If you are going to kill me then go a head and just do it. You are no better than the terrorists you build your bombs for. Or you can be better than them and put the gun down. Anne: You denied me those things when you killed Franco. Now tell me, Fernando. Are you afraid to die? Fernando: No I am not. Tammy arrives at the church. 30 minutes from when she sat down in the limousine. With help from Priscilla she walks into the church to the awaiting group of bridesmaids. The signal is given, and the wedding march begins to play. The bridesmaids and their men take their position, and start walking down the aisle. Bink and the ring bearer's protectors follow them to deliver the rings to priest waiting at the alter. He takes the rings from the ornamental pillow they rested on that Bink carried, placed on the alter to be blessed during the ceremony. Then it was Tammy's turn, being escorted to the altar by Marco. Perhaps no lovelier bride had walked down the aisle on that day, or perhaps before or since. The crowd remained silent as she walked down the aisle, sensing something was not right. Fernando was not to be found there waiting for her. With little to do, everyone waited. After 15 minutes, Hondo calls Fernando's cell phone. There was no answer, furthermore it went straight to the answering machine, meaning that it was not on. Tammy: Maybe he's on his way... Hondo: Yeah, maybe. Marco leans over to Hondo, whispering, "I'll send somebody to check the safe house." "Do so.", Hondo whispers back. Marco steps away from the aisle and makes a cell call to Amedeo, who was in the limo, waiting for the services to end so he can finish his task. Amedeo takes his orders and drives away in the limousine to the safe house, taking his time to make sure that a certain Black Porsche 928 GTL does not pass him along the way. Also because the limousine is not the best vehicle to be flying down the highway with. It takes him over an hour to get there where it usually takes 30 minutes or less at break neck speed. Tammy: Hondo, cant you open up a portal to the safe house with that thing? Hondo: It is only set to the cafe coordinates. I don't know how to use this thing other than turn it on and off. Tammy takes it from him and looks at its screen. There was nothing there that she could have understood other than a large 'OPEN/CLOSE' button on the lower right. Hondo slowly reaches it to take it from her. They continue to wait. One of the alter boys brings over a chair for Tammy to sit down on. Another 45 minutes had passed, the silence of the church broken by the ringing of a cell phone. Marco answers it, as it was his. Marco: Yes, Amedeo. I see. No, stay there until further orders. Guard the place until we arrive. Marco walks over to Hondo and whispers to his ear. After being told, Hondo pulls the slide on the gun, advancing a round into the empty chamber. He then starts to walk up the aisle. Rose breaks away from the bridesmaids group and goes on after him. Tammy: What's going on? Marco steps over to her, takes her hands, and turns to the crowd. Marco: Family, friends, guests... I am sorry to say that there will not be a wedding today. You can all go home now. Tammy, come with me. Tammy: What do you mean. Marco signals to the SWA members to gather, and take Tammy away through a rear exit. The priest and Aiesha was told to go with them. Tammy is placed into Hillshire's Mercedes station wagon with Marco behind the wheel and is taken the safe house with the others following behind at triple digital speeds. They arrive there in under 20 minutes. Amedeo was guarding the door. The Porsche was set back into its rear parking space, along with Hondo's pickup truck and the limousine. Marco veers off to the front of the house, helping Tammy to get out of the car when they stopped. Others begin to arrive, running past Amedeo into the house, but are stopped at the dining room table by Hondo yielding his shot gun at them. Hondo: Nobody is to go beyond this point! Nobody! Marco brings Tammy in, and is allowed to go past Hondo and Rose. They walk around the dining table and the service island getting into view of the kitchen area. They stop there for the moment, staring at the floor. Tammy starts to get hysterical. Tammy: No... No..! NO! She ducks down behind the island where no one can see her other than Marco. It sound to the others that she was dragging something heavy, before crying out loud, "IT CANT BE! NO!!" Hondo lets down his gun, giving the others the cue to go past. They all gather around the service island or behind Marco who was not letting anyone go past him. Tammy was kneeling on the floor, her wedding dress and hands covered in blood as she cradles a Fernando next to her. It was hard to tell where he was wounded as his white wedding shirt was totally red, soaked in blood, as was the floor around him. His body was already cold. Tammy continues to hold him close to her, crying. The white wedding dress, ruined. The priest and Aiesha finally arrive with the final members of the SWA. Aiesha was taken immediately to Tammy's side where she sees what's going on. She reaches over to her father's hand and takes a pulse reading, finding nothing but a cold touch to it. She slowly puts his hand down, wiping her eye from behind her glasses, and steps away from the scene to the private area behind the kitchen. She tries to be professional about her father being dead, but professionalism eludes her as she runs into the bathroom to cry. Gadget arrives on her own with the heads of the Rescue Rangers with her. She makes her way by pushing and shoving those in her way out of the way. Finally she stands behind Marco, who she gives an elbow to the ribs to get him out the way to where she stands behind Tammy holding Fernando in her arms. "My god...", Gadget says to herself. Gadget slowly kneels down next to her friend and holds her, while tears run down from her closed eyes. Of all the wedding guests and visitors, the one least expected to come, does and has arrived with Gadget and the others. She had literally flown there, and flies over everyone, hovering over Tammy and Fernando. If maybe she would have arrived earlier, she could have one something, but at this late stage she can not. Only taking him back to NeverNeverLand to the Fairy Queen would something be possible, but that is only if the room was full of believers, which it was not. This scene lasted for almost an hour, as a private ambulance arrives to pick up Fernando's body. Though the others stepped away from him, Tammy held on fast to him, refusing to let him go. Marco had to pull her off him as they placed him on the gurney. She manages to break away from him as they rolled the body to the ambulance. She chases after them and catches up as they loaded him to the back of the ambulance. They did not argued with her as she pulled Ferro's gun from her purse, and allowed her to ride with him to the SWA Medical facility, where an autopsy would be conducted. The house empties out, as the members of the SWA and the friends take to their vehicles to make the second trip to the SWA compound. Tammy was found alone in a waiting room next to the operating room, where Fernando was connected to several machines trying to bring life back into him. It was a mad and failed attempt to do the impossible- bring Fernando back to life. One by one Tammy and Fernando's friends arrive at the waiting room. She sat alone in a chair furthest from the connecting operating room, keeping the swinging doors in view. Hondo stood by the door with his shotgun in hand as the girls sat around Tammy, who was no longer crying but very quiet and unresponsive. Dr. Bianchi comes out of the operating room. Dr. Bianchi: There was nothing we could do for him. Hondo: Of course not, he was dead for almost an hour when we found him. Over 2 hours when he was brought here. You could not bring him back- You're not god. Dr. Bianchi: Excuse me sir. Hondo: Excuse yourself! Now who do we see about funeral arrangements. Dr. Bianchi: I can understand your anger... Hondo: Me being angry is having you in there while you pals remove buckshot out of your ass. Now about funeral arrangements. Rose: Hondo! Dr. Bianchi gulps. Dr. Bianchi: Funeral arrangements are already being made. I just need to speak with the next of kin. The girls looked at Aiesha for the moment, who was shaking her head at the prospect of planning out a funeral for her father. Instead, she points to Tammy. Dr. Bianchi looks at Tammy, and the mess she was in. Dr. Bianchi: Tammy, would you want to come to my office? Tammy just looks at him as if she were a little girl and somebody stole her favorite stuffed animal from her. Slowly she gets up, and walk towards him, taking Aiesha's hand and leading her to the office. They spend hours there, mostly in nonverbal communications, until arrangements are made. - - - - - 3 days later... Fernando's safe house was turn into a crime scene, which the SWA was in charge of the investigation. The CIA stepped into the investigation as well, as it was their safe house the murder was committed, meeting heavy resistance from the SWA. During the investigation, there were many things that were found missing. -Fernando's American Arms Model 1984 .45 automatic. Ballistic Forensics had found that the gun used to kill him was his own weapon, which was not found in neither the house, in any of the park vehicles in the garage, in the parking lot, or anywhere with 2 miles of the murder scene. Questioning of all those in the house at the time Fernando was found, no one seen the gun anywhere when they arrived. -Server Security Logs. With the house being fully automated, videos and sensors logs are always being generated. It is the actual hard drives that contained these logs and videos that were missing. -One of the Micro-copters was missing from its bin. Though several were missing when they first arrived there, Hondo inventoried the supplies, finding and listing 4 micro-copters, 2 with engines and 2 without, all he had been working on during his free time. It is one with a working engine that missing. -Fernando's Time Traveling Laptop. A very dangerous device in the wrong hands. Though biometrically tied to Fernando's DNA, and self destruct if tampered with, it is not exactly hacker proof. But such a hacker would have to be up to par with Fernando's abilities. Autopsy showed that Fernando died from a single gunshot wound to the chest by a hollow point .45 bullet he uses, that ruptured the top of the left Atrium and the bottom of the Aorta. Death was instant, according to the report, which also sites secondary injuries to him that would also be fatal: shattered broncule tube, shattered 7th Thoracic vertebrae with accompanying nerve damage. Tammy prepared for his funeral and buried him at the empty grave that bared his name, adding their wedding date as a second Date of Death. With help of the SWA, Tammy married Fernando on paper after the funeral, with the wedding date as the official day of marriage. Those who arrived to attend the wedding, went to funeral at the same church. A party was held at the safe house as per his wishes, but no one was in the partying mood. Without Fernando to program a travel portal, everyone arrived by Air Italia 747. Everyone just ate, said a few words of respect and then left. Fernando was buried in a coffin made from Grenadilla wood. Because of the SWA publicizing Fernando's murder, the CIA Secret Safe House was no longer secret nor safe for its intended use. As compensation for her loss, it was decided that it would be given to Tammy. Whether she kept it or immediately sold it remains to be seen as it would be her prerogative as what to do with it. Much of the technology with remained intact as much of it was old cold war tech, but still useful in the right hands. Only things that were taken was the weapons technology of assorted firearms and ammunitions, and much of that was taken by the SWA. The cars were kept in the garage of the safe house for now; including the Black Porsche 928GTL, Dark Blue Jaguar XJ-V12, and the Bright Red Alpha Romero 2001 Spyder. - - - - - The End of the Beginning... Tammy wears the wedding and engagement rings that were given to her by somebody who cared, as she also bared his name. Furthermore, she was back home at the cafe, but still working for the SWA as well as attending college to finish off her Premedical and Biological studies. Bink was ever present at her side, armed and ready for action, guarding her older sister better than any trained guard dog would. Once in a while they have to return to Italy, mainly for Bink's medical needs which only the SWA can provide, but also for minor missions for them to do as well. They have their choices of living space between the tree-house they grew up in, the cafe's accommodations, the SWA Dormitories or Fernando's safe house in Rome which she decided to keep for herself, and maybe perhaps to that special someone if she would ever allow herself to be special to someone ever again. Aiesha takes to herself at Fernando's tree house, doing her job as doctor at the hospital she works for and at the cafe's clinic. She knows that in Fernando's All-Time State that he would return, but the question is, in what condition? Temporal Psychosis is at its worst when a death is involved, and as such that psychosis can lead to other character defects in his personality. But who knows, the current dead Fernando seemed to have dealt with the ramifications better than the first said he would, who was her real father, but the second took to the task of being Fernando right down to every fault, issue and responsibility. Perhaps the same will apply to the third? - - - - - 6 Weeks later... A bright flash of light appears midway between the cafe and Fernando's tree house. There stood a blind male flying squirrel bent down in pain and pressing his temples. Blind Flying Squirrel: Damn you, Fernando! What have you done to me this time?!!
