Very good story. A number of formating issues as I've marked below but part
way through I figured it must be due to something happening in the posting
since they tened to be the same erroes over and over again. I'm suprised at
a few things though like how did Sylia know who John was when his wife died?
Also taking off he mask was not something I would expect her to do. Was it
since Holly had worked with Sylia's father?
Also I'm assuming that Priss is out of her suit once she is injured as I
doubt John could cary he in the suit. I'm gusing they destroyed it as
leaving the remains of the suit around would not be pretty smart.
Various comments follow:
John McClain looked out the window of the DC-10 making its way to
Tokyo. A mixture of boredom and apprehension played on his face. He
still hated flying, but forced himself to endure it. Holly had gotten a
job working for a new company called Bradley Inc. They were flying her to
the Tokyo branch so she could make several business presentations to the

He thought back to that phone call and wondered how she'd managed
to talk him into it. "Yeah." John said.
"John?" His wife Holly, said.
I think it would have made more sense when talking about Holly in the first
paragraph to say she was his wife because at first I was going "So why is he
flying out to see her? Wife, Girlfriend??" (Ok, so it took me this far to
figure the Die Hard cross over. I'm dense sometimes <G>)...

The speech already boring him, McClain tuned it out and looked to

I've noticed up to this point some inconsistent indentation and spacing
between paragraphs. Some paragraphs are justified left, ome with single
space indenting, some with and some without spacing between. It tends to
make reading a little awkard at times.

Earlier you were putting what the characters though within aspostries like:

walked out to meet the trucks.
"Yeah, we got a delivery to make." The driver said in a harsh

You do not have the guard asking anything (Unless it is implied) and the
