(cause you guys know how tired I get of these old subject headings....)

The phone rang urgently.

"Yes?  Now Saf's taken up the charge?  Good.  If there's someone who can find
him, it's her.  That makes it Kendra, Nagisa, C-ko H, and the Stargazer.
Perhaps I should make it clear that he's to be brought back alive."

Why am I doing this?  I need that access to those Very Important Documents.
Otherwise, *you know who* is gonna have a hissy fit."

(Believe it or not, even the Taskmistress has to answer to somebody)

Hell, I'm not afraid of anything.  You take care of your end of the biz and I'll
take
care of mine."

She hung up the phone and got to work, picking up the first piece of paper
she found on her desk:

  Okay then Mike...Where's "Smoke and Mirrors 2" then? Hmmm...? ^_^

*Gulp* Um, er, it's coming....honest....just a little bit of writer's
block, did a whole page today..uh, almost done...
  Don't tell Foxtrot on me, okay? :)

She smiled.  "Now where did I leave Mike's address, again?"

**********

At the other end of the phone line, the figure exited the phone booth outside
the bus
terminal.  She had spotted Panda in his female disguise immediately.  How many
times had he told her boss that he liked women with dark hair?  It would
tend to reason that he'd choose that type or some one similar as his cover for
when he lost the "panda" disguise.  Now, a man was exiting the terminal.
Yup, Panda again, and this time, he didn't even bother changing his luggage
from the "woman's" to the "man's".  He must have been really spooked to change
like that and that must mean that more are joining in on the hunt, and that
means
that one or more persons are interested in taking the quarry for themselves.

She adjusted the straps on her helmet and roared after the cab, following 
at a discreet distance, noticing that at least 7 tracking devices were on the
cab.

"Time to have a little fun," she murmured, as she lobbed her own electronic
scrambler on the car.  Not only would it confuse all those other trackers, it
would
eventually force the car to stop.

She laughed into the wind.




Foxtrot the Furryous, BTFH on vacation
-------
Queen Fox: Dear lady, thou realizeth that he hasn't returned that which was
yours?
Foxtrot: Yeah, and that's why I'm hunting him down like the panda that he is.
And why I sent *her* after him. [insert evil laughter]
Queen Fox: I must get thee to a psychiatrist.
