“She’s right,” Savage said.
“Males want to be Lethal, and women want to do Lethal, but then Nina would kill them, so, let’s not anybody go there,” Hail said.
Lethal laughed again. “I’d kill them before Nina got a chance. No fucking body touches me but Nina.”
“Despite the threats to kill anybody except Nina that might happen to brush against him, he’s laughed twice. You guys are on a roll,” Feral said.
“And there’s my other errant team member,” Lethal said.
“That ended quite a while ago,” Feral said with absolutely no emotion.
“You made that choice. Offer is always open. I hate having to train new males.”
“You made me make that choice. And you don’t train anybody! You just throw them into a helmet and say, do your part and we won’t have to shoot you,” Feral said.
“He didn’t say that to me,” Frenzy said.
“What’d he tell you?” Feral asked.
“Screw this up and you won’t be coming back,” Frenzy said. “But that was before he knew and loved me.”
“You’re all full of shit. Anybody still alive after rescue doesn’t require training — much. And if I’m not mistaken, none of you died, so quit fucking whining. I’m putting Valor on, but… Frenzy, you know how to get me. We can be there in an hour or less.”
“You worried about me?” Frenzy asked with a smirk.
“No, but I love a good fight and this sounds like something I haven’t been a part of yet. Don’t get yourself killed.”
There was a muffled sound, then Valor’s voice came across the line. “’S’uuuuup?”
“Getting any pretty pictures?” Frenzy asked.
“Yep, lots of them. I don’t see anything moving. Nothing human, nothing lion shaped. A few small animals on the ground, some burned out structures. But it’s quiet. Spooky quiet,” Valor said.
“Anything not burned out?” Savage asked.
“Savage, my man!” Valor said. “Only one or two small structures, most likely storage sheds. No heat signatures inside. Nothing of consequence moving.”
“How long can you keep eyes on those coordinates?” Frenzy asked.
“I’m moving them back within the hour, hopefully nobody will notice I’ve accessed them. If so, I’m thinking I’ll have Sin deal with them — you did say he approved your mission, didn’tyou? But shoot me a call when you’re an hour out. I’ll reposition to take another look and stay that way as long as I can.”
“Sin is aware; he’ll cover you if necessary. Anything on the Falwells?” Frenzy asked.
“We’re poking around looking for a facility near their home base, but so far, nothing.”
“Let me know if that changes. We’re heading out within the next fifteen minutes,” Frenzy said.
“Godspeed,” Valor said, as he always did when he was watching over someone on mission, then ended the call.
“And plenty of it,” both Feral and Frenzy said, stopping to grin at each other before Frenzy ended the meeting.
“Okay, sounds like an easy trip, at least there are not aggressors on the ground. Let’s do this,” Frenzy said, tucking his phone back into his pocket.
“Are you telling me that you people have permission to reposition satellites at will?” Jack asked.
“Nope. We only borrow them. And when we reposition the National Safety Administration’s satellites — most of the time they don’t even know,” Frenzy said.
“You’re hacking into them?” Jack asked.
