Charles was eating Rice with butter, miss dash and chicken. Drinking Pepsi while looking at the others having a good time. Then he was thinking about something too.  
 
Charles: *Since I let Clarice and his son stay home. She did let me get some time with another female. But not to marry them. So I will enjoy my week and training new recruits too.* Then he keep eating.  
 
Maggie was dancing with Frank as they heading to the dining room and began to eat too. Same as Rebecca and Burborn. As they heading to the tables and eat too.

Fernando daughters sat in the table for 8 behind them on the left side, but Gadget sat alone on a table reserved for her and the Rescue Rangers with a table with various Naval Personnel not far away from her but no one willing to sit with her. Their table was also with empty chairs as Admiral Ready and at least one of his supporting captains is in the dungeon with Chip, Dale and Monty.
 
Food, wine and entertainment continued through the evening with some taking to the dance floor area though no such area was assigned to the dinner hall. It is that some took the large empty areas as such. Fernando never liked dancing, so that is not an option for him.
 
“Come Hondo. We have a lot to discuss about.” Fernando tells him before getting up from the table.
 
Hondo follows him as Fernando goes back into the gathering room which remains open.
 
“We have about 12 rooms, 6 rooms on 2 floors, and I will be getting the basement rooms as well.” Fernando tells him as he gives him a key to Room 2-2 (Second Floor, Room 2, which is in the front left above the driveway). “Charles and his group will be joining us as well as Dale and Monty, which is why I’m asking for the extra room. Chip will continue to be jailed until the judge decides what to do with him though it does not look good for him. That leaves one in question for either of us to deal with.”
 
“Gadget.” Hondo replies as he puts the House key with the car keys..
 
Fernando just nods for the moment. “I’ll have the Goon Squad and the Dirty Pair downstairs on the first floor with Charles and company, with Dale and Monty in the basement. Gadget though, I’ll put her in Room 2-3 (The right rear of Room 2-1), behind my room.”
 
“You think that is wise, Jefe?” Hondo asks.
 
“For the time being I do not care what Tammy thinks. She’s on ‘Mommy Mode’ – All for the baby and the hell with the rest of the world, which is fine by me. Our task is to guard the Emperor during public events and that is it. Misao wants to get her paws dirty in trying to uproot the Yukuza, that’s on her. But if her work harms us in anyway, I’m taking her head off her shoulders.” Fernando explains.
 
“I see. What about Chip, what is going to happen to him?” Hondo asks.
 
“In exposing us and the work that we are doing to the criminal elements, he might get the Death Sentence.” Fernando answers bluntly.
 
“No way!” A voice says from behind them. It was Charles.
 
Both Hondo and Fernando turn to face him.
 
“I agree Chip needs to be in jail for being stupid but the Death Sentence? That is uncalled for!” Charles tells him.”
 
“Only an Emperor’s pardon would save him but I discussed it with the Emperor and he’s not too happy with having his dinner gather interrupted by a suicide bombing terrorist. The problem is this – Because of Chip opening his mouth and bragging about the missions, he put us in a dangerous situation where we now have to be on guard 24-7. None of the Hotel Safe Rooms are safe anymore. None of the Safe Houses are safe anymore. I had to go out of my way to get us a new space and hope we do not get attack during our stay here.” Fernando tells him. He adds, “So far we have been attacked 7 times – twice at the Hilton’s Safe Room.”
 
“Damn that Chip, I swear!” Charles says out loud to himself, before facing Fernando, “I keep telling him that secret missions are to remain secret!”
 
“Please if the three of us dressed up as girls and felt up on his acorn smelling tail of his, he would give us the secrets of Area 51 and all its UFO Tech if he had them at Ranger HQ!” Fernando tells him.
 
“You got that right, Jefe.” Hondo throws in.
 
Fernando looks at his keys before giving 2 sets to Charles; to rooms 1-4 and 1-6 (rooms that face the back area of the house on the first floor.) “Like I told you before, Charles, be at the place at 1PM tomorrow, the rooms should be ready for you by then. We’ll discuss details tomorrow afternoon. I’ll give you the address later. Right now Hondo and I are discussing about clean up and moving out to get there by morning. And just between the three of us, I did get Dale and Monty freed. They will be at this safe house by the time you come, Charles.”
 
“Good. I would like to take Dale and teach him how to be a proper spy.” Charles says.
 
“If you want to take him on, then go ahead. At least Dale is willing to learn and do what is right.” Fernando says.
 
“I’ll take on Monty.” Hondo says.
 
“You sure about that?” Fernando asks.
 
“Like you needed me as muscle, I’m going to need some muscle in some areas of this mission. He should be up to the task.” Hondo points out.
 
“I think he would make a better bullet magnet, but what the hey... if you need him you can have him, at least it will keep those two away from the riff raff.” Fernando tells him. He thinks for a moment, “My girls will take care of Jeanette, Tammy and the baby. That leaves me with Gadget.” He shakes his head for the moment. “Alright, everybody, back inside. Hondo, if you can get Gadget for me, I’ll be here.”
 
“Will do Jefe.” Hondo says as he goes back into the dining room.
 
“If you can do anything to spare Chip, it would be appreciated.” Charles says to Fernando.
 
“I’ll see what I can do, but no promises. Remember – 1o’clock tomorrow.” Fernando tells him.
 
“I’ll see you then.” Charles says as he walks away.
 
Gadget arrives as Hondo leaves her by the doors.
 
“You want to see me?” She asks.
 
“You got a place to sleep and store your personal things at?” Fernando asks her.
 
“Yes, at the Marriot.” She answers.
 
Fernando sighs. “We’re moving you out.”
 
“Where too?” She asks.
 
“A Private Safe House. I’ll take you there myself.” He tells her.
 
“OK then. Anything else?” She asks.
 
“For now for as it is needed, you are going to be my Number 2. You are going to be with me most of the time. This mean being dressed like this and not in your work overalls, I will give you a pocketbook with some high tech equipment for you to use. Familiarize yourself with them when you get them. There will be little tinkering and/or inventing for you to do. But, Gadget, I’m armed and if I have to shoot somebody, stand behind me because my jacket is bullet proof, you are not. If I throw you my jacket, put it on for your protection. I need you as a tech expert. You think you can do that?” Fernando explains and then asks.
 
“I think I can.” Gadget answers.
 
“Good.” Fernando tells her, adding, “No funny business, but you have any more dresses and/or business suits to wear?”
 
“I got a few things.” She answers.
 
“It’s a start. We’ll get you more if you need them.” He tells her.
 
The sounds of Native Drums can be heard in the background as a group of Polynesian Fire Dancers take to the larger dance floor.

“Fernando?” Gadget calls to him as he begins to walk away.
 
He stops just a couple steps away from her, “Yes?”
 
“Be honest with me, please.” She begins to say before she asks, “What’s going to happen to Chip?”
 
“Japan has the Death Sentence, and in that, Chip has committed himself and others to crimes that carry out the Death Sentence. Everything depends now on a judge to decide.” He explains.
 
“Could you get him out? Somehow?” She asks.
 
“I can talk to the Emperor to give him a pardon, but that is the most I can do.” He explains.
 
“I know he’s has been abusive to me but he is my husband.” She begins, adding, “If you can get him freed, somehow, I would forever be in your debt.”
 
“If he has been abusive, why would you want him back in your life?” Fernando asks.
 
“As his wife, I can forgive him for those things, but not all things.” She says to him, adding, “If he continues to abuse me, then I will leave him and divorce him, and take him for everything he is worth.” She wipes a tear that begins to roll down her cheek with her forearm.
 
“I cannot promise the outcome of my actions. He put himself in a position where he endangered all of us, and endangered others for nothing more than just money and awards.” He explains.
 
“I know...” Gadget says before she starts balling.
 
“Go up to her and give her a hug, you idiot.” A voice says from behind Fernando. It is Tammy, carrying Francesca with Jeanette behind her. She reaches out and pushes him towards Gadget.
 
Fernando stumbles a couple of steps before turning Gadget. He takes her into his arms as she cries. Tammy closes in with the Baby and Jeanette behind her.
 
Tammy continues, “You better be able to get Chip out of trouble.”
 
“What is it to you?” Fernando asks her.
 
“Chip is a friend. He maybe an asshole but he has been a friend long before you came to the café.” Tammy tells him.
 
“Don’t mean jack shit to me, Tammy. He committed a crime, he should answer to the law for doing such crimes. I am not going to interfere in that and in the laws of this land – this is not the United States where the Rangers know judges and prosecutors to help get them out of trouble and get prosecutable immunity for doing crimes during a mission. His actions endangered all of us, we have been attacked at the hotel, out in the streets and even here in the Emperor’s palace because of him and his big mouth. If he’s such a friend, he would not have put you and Francesca in harm’s way, because that is what he did. And for what? So he can stand on some stupid stage and get a medal pinned to his jacket? Get a paper award along with a check that has four or five zeroes behind the first non-zero digit? Because that is what he did, and you need to see it.” Fernando tells her.
 
“If you are not going to do anything about it, then I will.” Tammy says.
 
“Tammy, it takes months for Chip to be processed, tried and judged. Let’s leave it alone where it is, and see where it is going. Now is not the time to ask. A few days or even a week may not be enough time to ask. And the most I can do is just ask, nothing more. The rest is on them.” Fernando tells her.
 
“If you do not get him out of trouble by the time I come back with Bink, consider us through.” Tammy tells him.
 
“On what grounds?” He asks.
 
“Irreconcilable Differences.” She tells him.
 
“Do not use our marriage as a weapon, Tammy. Just don’t.” Fernando tells her.
 
“And why not? I’m not getting what I want from this marriage.” Tammy tells him.
 
“I told you that when you came into this marriage, you came with nothing, and that if you leave, you will leave with nothing. Anything and everything I own is mine for a reason and I will defend it like I have defended this planet from oblivion from the Orion many years ago. But if you think my best is not good enough for you anymore, then maybe I should go back in time and undo everything that was done to get us here in the first place. Now, which one will it be?” He tells her.
 
“Don’t think you have the upper hand in his marriage, Fernando. I will find out about your cheating ways and when I do, that fluffy tail of yours is mine.” She tells him before she starts to walk away. Jeanette waits for a couple seconds, shakes her head at the whole situation before leaving after Tammy. Gadget stops crying with a couple of sniffles from her nose. She looks up at him.
 
“You cheated on Tammy?” Gadget asks.
 
“Never.” Fernando tells her.
 
“I don’t get it then.” Gadget says.
 
“I do not get it either.” Fernando tells her. He lets out a sigh before he tells her, “Look. I may not be able to get Chip out, but I might be able to get Monty and Dale out as they were blind to Chip’s actions until he did it. So they are innocent on this. But that does not mean that I’m going to stop from there. If I can help get Chip out, I’ll only try to do it for you. But there is no guarantee on the outcome.”
 
“If you do, I’ll be forever in your debt.” She tells him.

Charles was eating his food while watching his daughter, Maggie, talk to Frederick while Burborn talked to Rebecca. Since he had no woman to talk to, he kept eating his food and drinking his orange pop, since he did not drink alcohol. As he ate, he was thinking about Fernando thing and see what is going on. Then before he head to Nando house. He take his team to get their cars first and send Sparky to Nando house so he can meet them there to fix the cars. But he needed to put someone with Sparky, to make sure no one not follow him and make any threats towards Sparky too. So e decide call friend to keep Sparky safe until they got to Fernando safe house.

As Jeanette leaves the room, everyone notices Tammy standing in the doorway. Jeanette pauses at the doorway, as is to let Tammy to come into the room but Tammy refuses. Jeanette goes back into the dining room as Fernando told her. Somebody else was behind Tammy, but unseen to those in the party room
 
Tammy enters the room after she watches Jeanette go to her table and sit down. She walks right up to Fernando and Gadget.
 
“If you value this marriage, then you will have Chip released as soon as you get the others released.” Tammy tells him.
 
“Chip is arrested under Japanese law. There is nothing I can do but advice on the matter.” Fernando tells her.
 
“If I have to get somebody else to get him out, you and I are through.” Tammy tells him.
 
“Like who can you get? Misao? You’re joking. Not even the Emperor listens to her. And even if you get a rag tag group to try to break Chip out, then you and your friends will be in jail and I get to father Francesca alone. That you do not want.” Fernando tells her.
 
Tammy becomes silent before she turns around and walks away in anger. Misao walks in after Tammy leaves.
 
“It’s your fault I am losing face here.” Misao tells Fernando.
 
“You lost face a long time.” Fernando tells her, “As I see it, when you refused to aide in the rescue of Emperor’s kidnapped son is when you lost face with the Emperor. Whether I had succeeded or failed, at least I tried, and that is where I save face with the Emperor.” He tells her.
 
“I was going to take action before you interfered!” Misao stated.
 
“When? After the boy was killed? Because when I took action, they were about to kill him.” Fernando tells her.
 
“You did not know what my plans were of the time.” Misao tells him.
 
“The only way the Emperor’s son would have been saved under your actions would have been if you had a direct connection to call them up and stop the assassination. That would make you guilty of conspiracy. You willing to admit that? Because I can pop up an observation orb and watch everything you were doing at the time of 96 hours before and 96 hours after my rescue of the prince. And do not try to go back in time to change the events – The Time Lord Tribunal Event-Locked the era from manipulation.” Fernando tells her.
 
Misao remains silent for the moment as if thinking. But Fernando interject to derail her train of thought.
 
“Get out of my face before I talk to the Emperor of dropping conspiracy charges on your head. You and Chip can share a jail cell together. Hope he does not male you his cell bitch.” Fernando tells her.
 
“You are such a vulgar and disgusting individual!” Misao tell him loudly.
 
“If you were my cellmate, I’d make you into my cell bitch if you want protection from the others, including the guards.” Fernando tells her. “Chip would trick you into giving up that mouse tail of yours to him.”
 
“I would have you killed before I give up my mouse tail to you, adding before she leaves.” She tells him. “You are a sick minded perverted fool.”
 
Fernando gives a half smile as she leaves. He then throws away the half smile before going deeper into the party room. Gadget follows him.
 
“Fernando?” Gadget calls to him.
 
He stops as he takes a chair in the room to sit down, “Yes Gadget?” He sits down as she gets closer to him.
 
“Don’t get me wrong when I say this.” Gadget stops with feet from him, “If you and I were to share a prison cell, I would want to be your cell bitch.”  
 
“Even if you were still married to Chip?” He asks.
 
“Yes.” She answers.
 
“Can I ask why?” He asks.
 
“You know I was imprisoned before that put that computer chip in my head. Things were... I had to do things... It was a desperate time...” She begins to ramble.
 
“You did what you had to do in order to survive. I can understand that.” He tells her.
 
“Prison is not a friendly place. To have a friend to hold me and tell me things will be alright and protect me from the others, I’d do anything for that friend. And I would want that friend to be you.” Gadget tells him.
 
“I’d do anything for you if it came to that, and expect nothing in return, Gadget. Nothing. You need to understand that. But what happens between you and I in that jail cell, remains in that jail cell. Once we get out, though we would have tethered emotions from what happened, I would give you your time and space while we recover to a normal world.” Fernando says to her before letting out a sigh.
 
“Thanks.” Gadget says as she nervously fidgets with her fingers.
 
“Look. I have to figure out a few things and need some alone time. We’ll talk later.” Fernando tells her.
 
Gadget lets out a sigh before answering, “OK.” She then begins to leave the room to give Fernando his privacy. He pulls out an old fashion IBM ThinkPad of the 1950s vintage. He begins to write on several pages on it.
