TQB Base, Colorado – USA
Bethany Anne?
Yes TOM?
I think ADAM and I should profess… well, confess something at this time.
Bethany Anne stopped the short work-out she was doing and grabbed the small towel to wipe off some sweat. She and John had arrived back on the main base a few hours ago and she felt a need to work out the desire to go back to Dallas, find the three creeps that had attacked John’s cousin and toss them into the Etheric.
Ok, shoot.
Do you remember a few weeks ago when you were with Michael, batting your eyelashes at him?
Bethany Anne thought back to when she had taken Gabrielle and Ashur to Argentina and had ended up on a date with Michael to kill David.
She chose to ignore TOM’s comment about her flirting.
Yes, why?
Do you remember our conversation about interacting with the Chinese?
Yeeeahhhhh… ahhh ….Nope! No, I don’t.
She sat on the floor. This whole room, about four-hundred square feet, had been built into the mountain some years back and was now a workout room for her and her team. Right now, John was probably helping his cousin Cheryl Lynn and her children, Toni and Todd find a place to stay on base. The rest of her team was… she didn’t know, actually. She could find out just by asking ADAM, but it wasn’t like she needed them right now. Besides, Ashur was sitting on the floor with his tongue hanging out. It wasn’t like she didn’t have protection.
It had taken some effort, but even Gabrielle had finally agreed that if someone was able to attack this far into the mountain, Bethany Anne would have time to travel the Etheric and escape. This meant she didn’t need to have a shadow while inside.
Like she would do that, but if it made Gabrielle happy to believe it was possible, then so be it. Anything to keep the Captain of the Queen’s Own happy.
She should call her ‘Captain of the Bitch’s’ and see what Gabrielle said. Nah, that was too easy. She needed something with more impact.
Well, we mentioned that we were working on our communications with the Chinese and you said…
Yeah! I remember now. I was thinking you were messing with my emotions and I told you not to start World War III. Wait, you guys haven’t started a war, have you?
Uhhh… No?
