   Beach Mansion.  Night.

   IronRod stood at the door and watched the city lights.  The mansion was
a good distance from the city.  It was easy to see why Alison had been able
to do what she did.  There was a high wall that surrounded the property
that was hidden by the tree line.  The top of the wall had been embedded
with broken glass.  Illegal but who was going to complain?  Danielle and
Corrine had gotten Kacey away from the place.  That was for the best right
now.  She was still in shock after emptying a gun into the face of that
lunatic Smiler.  A lunatic that IronRod had thought he'd killed already. 
Maybe he was just another fake Smiler, maybe there never was a real one...

   Hell, just kill them all, IronRod sighed to himself.  No fancy, bullshit
asylum or prison.  Put a fucking bullet in their head and keeping pulling
the trigger until those maniacs get the message.  People like Smiler were
nothing more mad dogs who deserved one ending only.  Quick and deadly and
bury the body in the nearest garbage tip.

   He heard the engine before he saw the vehicle.  The three vans came up
the gravel road and eased to a stop at the front door.  IronRod looked on
as the doors opened and the young women piled out.  The finishing school
uniforms had been replaced by black outfits.  They looked good.  More
fitting to the new cause they were a part of.  One of the young women
walked up to IronRod and nodded.  He saw the excitement in the young
blonde's eyes then saw them flinch as she caught sight of the gun behind
IronRod in the hallway.

   "It's safe." he told her.  "But I need the rest of the place checked. 
Also there's a bit of a mess downstairs that needs cleaned up."

   "Yes, sir." the blonde nodded.  The rest of the young, white, female
troop stood behind the blonde.

   "And then we can start to move in." IronRod smiled and led the women
into the mansion....

   Skinner Way.

   The car screeched around the corner before straightening up without
seeming to drop speed.  Lee Kelner was trying to keep his eyes on the road
ahead and not be sick.  He could swear that they had missed several parked
cars and lamp posts but didn't want to look at the driver.  he had a good
reason for not looking at the young 19 year blonde who was dressed in black
and was smiling as she took another corner at speed.  Her name was Yvette
and she had a body that could make him `change'.  He had gone through
plenty of mental training to stop the change happening, at least until he
supposedly needed this `talent'.  Yvette had been one of his partners in
the treatment.  One of the young temptresses who had rubbed up against him
telling of all the things they could do to him.  All those dirty, nasty
things....

   Lee felt the twitching between his legs and tried to suppress the
thoughts and calm himself.

   Waid Road.

   Verne Kobe checked his watch as the car sped down the narrow street.  He
looked at his driver.  Her name was Jeanette.  She was a french girl with
dark hair that was tied back.

   "How long?" Jeanette said, not taking her eyes from the road ahead.

   "Not a damn idea." Verne told her.  "And we still have to find the
fucking thing when we get there."

   The Kinnear Apartment.  Night.

   The police had left the Cramdon place now.  Linda had played the shocked
and grieving wife well she thought.  The tears had flowed and she stuck to
her story.  The cops seemed distracted all the time they were there so that
helped.  She was upstairs in Ray's place now.  He had come down and acted
the gentleman as she knew he would.  All consoling words and warm feelings.
He had offered her a place to stay in front of the cops and and she
accepted all tear-eyed.

   It was an hour before a cop came to the door and told they were leaving,
and the apartment had been sealed off.  More forensic people would be
around in the morning.  As soon as the door was closed her hand was on his
crotch.  He'd simply picked her up and took her to his bedroom.  It only
later when his cock was buried deep inside her he stopped and looked down
at her, his eye staring into hers.

   "You killed him, didn't you?" Ray asked, not moving.

   His cock throbbed and her pussy tightened around it.  Linda wanted to
feel that shaft pound into her.  She needed it.  "Please, don't stop..."
she breathed, wrapping her legs around him.  She felt his fingers run
through her hair

   "Tell me!" he snapped and Linda jerked in surprise as the roughness of
his voice and the grip he had of her hair with both hands.  She couldn't
take her eyes from his.  He pressed his face to hers.  "Tell me." he said
again.  "Now."

   "Yes..." she confessed.

   Suddenly he thrust his cock into her again and Linda saw the smile on
his face.  His cock went deep.  She slid her arms around him, clinging to
the black man as he groaned with each thrust then looked up as he continued
to thrust.

   "Yes...." she gasped, closing her eyes and enjoying the feeling of her
pussy being filled out by the big, black man.  "Yes...  Yes...  Yes...."

   Smith Way.

   "So what one you like?"

   Laura Petry looked at the young girl who was driving.  Her name was
Karen.  "One?" she asked.

   "Yeah, what one the best?" Karen asked again, this time a twinkle in her
eye.  "I mean Lee - Big Black," she corrected herself and smiled.  "The
first time I had him I thought my pussy was going to rip in two."

   Laura blinked then felt herself blush.

   "Verne can be so commanding." Karen continued.  "But when Lee gets
horny--"

   "Just keep your eyes on the road." Laura told her, not wanting to
continue the conversation.

   Gaines Airport.  Back gate 09.

   Sam Nilson watched as Heidi, his driver, had dealt with guard at the
gate, pretending to be lost and needing help until the he had stepped back
to let her into the small gatehouse when she suddenly knocked him out with
two blows.  As Sam ran up to the gatehouse with his holdall he saw her
staring at the guard's crotch where there was a bulge.  Heidi shrugged and
went through the unconscious man's pockets, seeming to take her time as she
searched his trouser pockets.  Finally she found the keys and unlocked the
door on the other side.

   They dragged the man into the shadows then Heidi grabbed the ID pass
card from him and they got into one of the nearby buggies that where parked
and charging up.  Heidi started the motor and reversed out before heading
into the main concourse of the airport.  "Where to?" she asked.

   Sam looked around him and pointed to the right.  "We're looking for
section 12.  Hangers 10 to 14."

   22 Lee Street.  Night.

   Terri looked at Chloe and Stacy as she was bent over the bottom of her
parents bed.  Her friends were either side of her, holding her hands and
smiling.  "I...." she started.

   "You can take it." Stacy smiled.

   There was no condoms left.  She was sure there had been more but the
drawer was empty after she had Tom inside her.  She had Mike in her as well
before him.  Just to compare, Chloe had suggested.  Both black boys...  No
both black men had taken their time, making sure she got every inch of them
inside her.  She had chosen Tom to take her virginity and gasped as she
felt him slamming into her, forcing through that thin hymen.  He had made
her a woman, had given her her first real orgasm.  Then Mike climbed up
between her legs and she felt him enter her...

   Then there was no condoms left.

   She had searched the house, all the places she thought her parents would
hide something.  All the time she heard her friends getting those black
cocks inside them, heard their groans and gasps of pleasure, heard the slap
of skin on skin.  Her pussy needed to feel that again.  Finally she stood
at the door to the bedroom, naked, her pussy aching as she watched Chloe on
all fours as Tom fucked her from behind.  Stacy was on her knees licking up
and down Mike's cock, getting it hard again.  Those guys never tired it
seemed.

   That was when Mike had an idea.  If she was worried about getting
pregnant, then do it in a way she couldn't....

   "You can handle, girl." Chloe told her and squeezed her hand.

   Terri gasped as she felt a hand slap her ass then two strong hands grab
her ass cheeks.  She felt the cold of the baby oil they had found being
squeezed against her asshole.  "Oh, god..." she murmured.

   "Gonna take it nice and easy," she heard Mike say and looked back over
her shoulder.  Mike was smearing some oil over his hard, naked, black cock.
She stared at the thickness of the head and swallowed.  Suddenly he leaned
forward and Terru felt her ass cheeks being pushed apart.  Stacy pulled a
pillow towards Terri's head and Terri felt the hard head pushing against
her oiled hole.

   oh, god, oh, god, oh, god, Terri thought and felt the cock forcing it
open.  "Oh, god, oh, god, ohhhhhhHHHHHHH...." she screamed as the pain
exploded through her.  Chloe pushed her head down suddenly.

   "Bite it, hard, Terri!" she heard and Terri felt the cock relentlessly
pushing her ass open wider.

   "MMMMMMMMMM!!!!" She bit the pillow hard as she felt his two hands slap
onto her hips and then the first painful thrust into her ass came.  Mike
bellowed as he took her anal virginity and started slamming into her again
and again and again.....

   "YEAH!" Chloe gasped next to her.  "Feel that big, black fucker in your
ass!"

   "Ride it out, girl..." Stacy's voice whispered into her ear.

   Terri kept biting hard as the tears running down her cheeks as that big,
black cock broke in her ass, working up to hard, fast pace.  He wasn't
stopping now, she thought.  "YEAH! ...AAH! ...AHH!" he roared.  "AHH!  AHH!
AHH!" Her ass was his now as the pain stayed there but she felt the
pleasure as well as she bit down on the pillow.  "AHH!  AHH!  AHH!"

   All his, she thought......

   The Cave.

   IronRod watched as the young women got to work.  They had dragged the
body of Smiler to th center of the cave and one woman was heading to the
van that had been abandoned next to the wide entrance.  His cell phone rang
and he answered it.  "Yes?"

   "Got word back." he heard Verne Kobe say.  "Everyone's in position. 
We're just waiting on Nilson."

   "Jet." IronRod corrected him.

   "We're waiting on `Jet'." Kobe repeated.

   "Good." IronRod looked as two of the women were standing next to the
body of Commissioner Gregg.  They looked troubled by the violence of her
death.  One of the women seemed to be moving to spit on Smiler's body but
was stopped.  Good, they were learning.  They needed both bodies as clean
of questionable DNA as possible.  "Jet will give you all the precise
locations of the bombs.  There's still time till the first goes off.  The
ones at the industrial plants are timed to go off when everyone's going to
work, the others will go off when the engines start."

   "Boss." the woman looking in the van said.

   "You're going to be heroes, man."

   "Fuck that." Verne said back.

   "Boss!" the woman said a little louder.

   "Gotta go." IronRod said and ended the call.  he turned to her.  "Yeah?"

   "We got a problem."

   He walked over to where she was and looked in the open back door of the
van.  "Yup." IronRod nodded as he saw the open box.  The mechanism inside
was topped by the digital counter.  It was at fifteen minutes and counting
down....

   Gaines Airport.  Section 12, hanger 11.  Night.

   Sam Nilson grabbed the small tablet computer as the helicopter gently
rose up from where it had been stored.  Heidi gently nudged the stick and
the vehicle moved to the side.  "Would have been easier to wheel it out."
she told him.

   "No time." he replied adjusting the settings on the program the tablet
was working on.  It told him a connection had been found and a down view of
the city popped onto the screen.

   "Is that gonna work?" Heidi asked as she pushed forward and the
helicopter dipped forward towards the wide hanger door.

   "Course," he smiled as he went through some options and tapped the
screen's start button.  A number of red circles began to move around the
city on the screen.  "I programmed it."

   Heidi said nothing as she cleared the door and pulled back.  The
helicopter leapt up into the air.  On the screen a number of dots popped
all over it.  Sam quickly changed some of the options and the circles
changed to a green.

   Drummond Park.  Night.

   The chanting seemed to be loud, but Amy Reynolds knew no-one would come
to check on the noise.  No-one came into the park at night.  Not unless
they wanted something illegal or even wanted to live.  The party had moved
to a picnic area.  There were six wooden tables, each one with a girl on
it. one table had two girls on it.  Around the tables were groups of young
black men and women.  The girls on the tables were white.  She looked up
into the eyes of the young, black male between her spread legs.  He was
like the rest, as naked as Amy was.

   And her friend Steph?

   She hadn't seen Steph in two hours now.  She wasn't on the tables, but
Amy didn't care.  Steph could handle herself.  Besides, the girl was
probably still bent over at that place they had started this little party
at.  Her friend had been plugged in each hole.  A cock in her ass, filling
her pussy and fucking her mouth.  Amy had other matters to concentrate on.
The black man between her legs was simply teasing her pussy with his cock
as she lay back on the table.  Her pussy was slick with cum, both hers and
all those black men that had been in it tonight.  Hard, and thick and
natural.  She had felt them cum deep inside her her, filling her
cock-hungry pussy.  She had been fucked on her back, from behind, in her
pussy, up her ass, in her mouth....

   She been such a fucking slut, and loved every minute of it.

   As soon as one man finished there was another one to take his place. 
She loved the feel of those big, black fuckers pounding into her.  they
were better than those white pricks she tried.  She was happy with black
cock filling her fuckholes.  She gripped the edges of the table and stared
at the black male gently rubbing the head of his cock up and down her wet
slit.

   "Put it in..." she sighed.

   The black man grinned.  "You gang, bitch?" he asked.

   "Yeah, put that in me." Amy said, begging him now.  One of the girls on
another table cried out in orgasm.

   "How many niggas you had in you?" he said.

   "Hundreds," Amy told him, aching for his cock.  "I'm gang."

   She gasped then smiled as his sank his cock into her pussy.  He slid in
easily.

   "Yeah, bitch, you gang...." he moaned and hooked his arms under her
knees.  He pushed her legs up, pulling her ass up and sinking his cock a
little deeper inside Amy.  She moaned softly.  Then he started to fuck. 
Nice...  And deep...  And slow....  He stared into her eyes, not stopping
until his seed would join all the others in Amy's pussy....

   Eglin City.  Night.

   The helicopter banked hard as Heidi turned over the city.  They had
already where the bombs where, but now the computer was narrowing the
precise locations.  "Got them!" Sam beamed at Heidi.  "Told you it'd work."

   "You got blips so far." she told him back.  "Make the calls."

   "Who made you boss?" he said, getting his phone.

   "You're big, black dick." Heidi grinned and licked her lips.

   The Cave.

   IronRod grabbed the bomb.  He looked around the cave.  Not knowing how
big the blast would be was problem.  There seemed to be a sizable amount of
plastic explosive attached to it with a couple of wires going from the
timer into the detonator and he put the bomb down again.

   "Boss?" the young woman asked and he saw the fear in her eyes.

   "Red or green?" he asked.

   She blinked.  "What?"

   IronRod smiled.  "Red or green, pick one."

   "I don't know." she said.

   "Neither do I." he shrugged and grabbed the wires then yanked them out
of the explosive.

   "Jesus!" she gasped as he then ripped the wires from the timer.  "You
could've blown us up!"

   "This wasn't built to be found.  It was just meant to blow up and
nothing else." IronRod got his phone out again.  "So fucking simple."

   Valerm Energy Ltd Power Station.  Night.

   Verne closed the cell phone and watched the guards at the gate as
Jeanette slowed the car down and eased into some shadows so they couldn't
be seen.  He knew what to do with the bomb now.  Just pull and rip.  A
clown's bomb really.  He opened the cell again and hit the first number. 
He ad to pass the message on.

   ----------------------



   Eglin City.  Night.

   "Hold it here." Sam told Heidi and felt the helicopter move into a
hovering position.  He looked down and saw they were over one of the city's
power stations.  A quick glance at the tablet told him it was Valerm.  A
few adjustments and th circles on the screen aimed in on their location. 
The satellites he had hacked were in position.  There was one in particular
he was needing.  A military satellite that had been built by his previous
employer.  It was still classified having been designed to examine an
enemy's mineral deposits.  It could find a lump of coal in a lead-lined
room so a lump of plastic explosive should be easy.

   The circles suddenly converged and honed in on a small spot.

   "Got it." Sam smiled and called Vern Kobe.



   *



   Valerm Energy Ltd Power Station.  Night.

   The text message pinged onto Verne's screen and he showed it to
Jeanette. A press of a button and the phones GPS map came up.  "Mask up."
he said to her and they pulled the ski masks on.  Then Jeanette started the
car and roared towards the gate.  The car smashed through the barrier
leaving behind the stunned guards who started running after it.

   "We don't to get surrounded." Verne said as the car screeched around a
corner.

   "How close?" Jeanette asked.

   "Hundred metres."

   "Fucking rabbit warren in here." she said taking another corner and
narrowly avoiding something with a warning sign over it.

   Private Room.  Club.

   Helen had done something new tonight.  She given oral sex to another
woman.  She had had sex with another woman.  The black woman's scent had
filled Helen's senses as the black pussy juices coated her tongue.  All the
while the black woman's husband had carried on fucking Helen from behind.
She watched the woman then sitting in a chair and play with herself as the
black man straddled her and came over Helen's tits.

   With that they were gone.  Helen saw her watch and gasped.  It had been
hours.  She rolled off the bed and was picking up her clothes as the door
opened.  "Look, I should..." she started and stopped as she saw the two
large black security men who'd kicked the shit out of her date earlier. 
Only they were naked now.  Helen looked at the two growing, black cocks.

   "Club's closing." one of them said.

   "I should go then..." Helen smiled, clutching her clothes to her body.

   "No, stay." a third voice said and the black man, the boss who had
walked her in entered the room.  He was naked and carrying a bottle of
champagne.

   Three growing black cocks were in front of her now.  She should be
scared, Helen thought.  Should be, but she wasn't.  She was horny again. 
Those cocks were big, so were the balls under them.  Her pussy was
throbbing again.  Helen looked up at the boss's face.  He put the bottle to
his lips and drank some then looked at Helen.  "Anyway, there's a matter of
club membership to talk about." he added.

   "Membership?" she asked.

   "Sure, you want to come back?"

   "Y--" Helen blinked, stopped herself.  "Sure." she finished.

   "Good.  To get in, to get all-access, you have to apply for membership."
the boss smiled, his cock rising a little more.  He took another drink from
the bottle.  "So you want to apply?"

   Helen hesitated then nodded.  "Yes, please."

   "Think of this as your application then," he smiled again.  "I think you
know what to do."

   "I...." Helen blinked again, seeing the grins on the three, naked, black
men.  She suddenly knew what was expected.  And she wasn't scared.  She was
excited.  Helen stood up slowly and, smiling, dropped her clothes on to the
floor.  She was naked with the three smiling men.  "Can I join please?" she
said and walked up to the boss of the club.  Helen went down on her knees
and griped his cock with her left hand as the fingertips of her right hand
stroked her own pussy lips.  Looking up, she made eye contact with him and
and saw the satisfied, dominant look in his eyes.  He was the boss,
alright. He called the shots here.  Helen opened her mouth, ran her tongue
up the length of his cock and smiled up at him.  "Please?" she asked again
and sank her lips over the thick, dark head of his cock....

   City Depot 80.  Night.

   "A bus." Laura Petry said with a shake of the head as she stood next the
car and looked at the depot where two long lines of yellow school buses
were parked.  Karen took the binoculars from the car and looked through
them.

   "There's video cameras but no sign any security." she said and offered
them to Laura.

   Laura took the glasses and looked for herself.  "City cuts probably. 
How the fuck are we meant to find a bomb in there?"

   "Two of them." Karen told her.

   Laura sighed.  "Even better."

   The sound of the cell phone came from the car and Karen answered it. 
"Hello." She listened then handed it to Laura.

   "Pull the wires?" Laura said after a few moments.  "Just pull the wires
from a bomb?  Is he nuts?"

   Laura sighed then pressed the button that ended the call.  She looked at
Karen.  "Pull the fucking wires from a fucking bomb." she said.

   "I thought we had to just drive it somewhere then..." Karen's voice
trailed off as Laura shook her head.

   "Nuts." Laura told her.  "Just nuts."

   KoLee Power Ltd.  Night.

   Lee Kelner looked at the cell phone in his hand as they waited outside
the power plant.  He felt Yvette's hand around his cock as she gently
pumped it.  He could feel the change inside him and was concentrating on
suppressing it.  The sooner Yvette had done the better.  This wasn't the
time to change.  Afterwards....

   He gasped and felt her lips clamp around the head of his cock as he came
into her hot mouth.  He put a hand on the back of her head as he finished.
Yvette sat up and smiled, some drops of his cum at the corners of her
mouth. "Better?" she asked, licking her lips.

   "Better," he said, feeling the urge going.  The phone started to ring.
"Yeah?" he said into it.



   *



   Eglin City.  Night.

   Sam looked down at the KoLee power plant as he heard Lee's calm voice.
"Found the bomb.  Sending you the co-ordinates." he said and finished the
call.  He looked at Heidi.  "Right.  City Depot 80 now."



   *



   KoLee Power Ltd.  Night.

   Lee watched the cell phone.  The text came up and he memorized it then
put the numbers into the phone GPS system.  "Let's go." he told Yvette and
threw her the phone.  She caught it and looked at him.  "I thought you
were...."

   "I'll create a diversion.  You get in find it and just pull the wires,
he said."

   "No yellow or red?"

   "Nope." Lee looked at the gate on the front of the power plant.

   "How are you going to..." Yvette asked.  "Can you still, you know..."

   "I'll let you into a little secret." Lee told her and felt his clothes
tightening.  He saw her eyes widen as the trousers started to rip, then the
trainers, then the top.  "I'm always fucking horny!" he said, his voice
deeper now....

   The big, black thing that used to be Lee Kelner looked at the gatehouse
and leapt over the car.  He landed in front of the small building and
roared at the surprised men inside before ripping the barrier up.  The men
scattered away from it and the thing looked back.  The car started and sped
into the power plant.



   *



   City Depot 80.  Night.

   The message on the phone gave the co-ordinates for both bombs.  Laura
Petry looked at Karen.  Both women feeling uncertain now.  "Think of it
this way," Karen said.  "It'll be a quick death."

   "Not necessarily." Laura told her.

   "We could still phone it in."

   "Nah," Laura sighed.  "If you got to go..."

   Karen looked at her.  "Pull the wires?"

   "Pull the wires." Laura nodded.

   "Fuck it." Karen said and gunned the engine.  She released the brake and
aimed the car at the padlocked gate.

   Valerm Energy Ltd Power Station.  Night.



   Verne could hear the station alarm as he rolled out of the car as soon
as Jeanette stopped it.  He looked at the gas pipes with the small infa-red
scope and saw the box on the ground under them.  Voices of the guards were
getting closing in and he pushed himself under, hooked the box with an arm
and dragged it and himself out.  The box was plain cardboard.  He slid the
top off and saw the bottom of the box filled the plastic explosive. 
Military-grade O-4.  The damage in a gas station would be immense never
mind what happened to any gas in the pipeline and around it.

   "Anyone yet...?" he heard then looked up at the sound of the siren under
the alarm.

   "They got to near here!"

   Pull the wires, he thought and grabbed the wires that had been pushed
into the explosive.  He pulled them and blinked in surprise as he was still
alive.  He twisted the timer off as the footsteps got louder then stopped.

   "HOLD IT!"

   Verne looked up slowly and saw the security guard pointing a gun at him.
"Son, you do not want to do that." he told him.

   "What's that?" the guard demanded.

   "Me saving your butt." Verne said and dove into the car.  Jeanette hit
the gas and he barely got in before the open door hit something and slammed
shut.  "Let's get the fuck out of here!" he ordered her.



   *



   City Depot 80.  Night.

   Laura and Karen ran around the buses and looked at the first bus with a
bomb in it.  Looking under it there was nothing.  They tried the door but
found it locked.  Karen ran back to the car and came back with a tyre iron.
She forced the door and headed in.  "Found it!"

   Laura followed Karen and looked at the box under one of the middle
seats. Karen gently lifted the top off and they looked down the box full of
explosives.  Laura nodded then knelt down next to Karen.  "On three?" she
asked.

   "Okay." Karen replied.

   Laura put her fingers around the wires.  "On three," she said again and
saw Karen hold her breath.

   She yanked her hand up, ripping the wires out of the explosives.

   Karen looked at her.  "What happened to three?"

   Laura shrugged then gently removed the timer.  "Should be safe now." she
said and sat on the seat.

   "Can we go now?" Karen asked.

   "Still got one more to get." Laura said.



   *



   KoLee Power Ltd.  Night.

   Yvette looked at the box under the grate and saw the cables that
criss-crossed around and under it.  She didn't know how important the spot
was, if it was.  But that didn't matter as she had tried to lift the metal
grate and found it wouldn't give.  The padlocks kept it securely locked
down.  Even trying to break them with a tyre iron was useless.

   The ground shook as something big and heavy landed nearby.  Yvette
looked up and saw the giant, naked, black figure.  The cock was like a
third leg and she felt herself get wet at the sight of it.  "I....  I....
The padlocks...."

   The thing that had been Lee Kelner growled and it's thick fingers
grabbed the metal grate.  Yvette watched as the metal seemed to bend like
wet spaghetti under the heavy black hand.  The padlocks snapped and the
grate was tossed away like paper.  Yvette looked the thick cock that
dangled so near her then heard the growl and remembered why they were
there. She eased the top of the box off and saw the bomb.  Just pull the
wires, she told herself and gripped the thin wires that led to the
detonators embedded into the plastic explosive.

   "YAHH!" she yelled out, ripping the wires and metal caps away.  She fell
back and looked at the bomb.  The detonators were out but were nudging the
grey explosive.  She jumped at it and pulled them back then felt the timer
give way and removed that as well.  She sat back and suddenly smiled to
herself.  "I defused a bomb!" she grinned proudly.

   The black giant growled again and jumped out of sight.  Yvette swore
under her breadth, grabbed the bomb and put it in the car gently.  She
heard him roar and followed the sound until she steered the car through the
smashed barrier in front of two of guards who had returned.  She found Lee
a few streets away, naked and shivering.  He was gasping as he crawled into
the car.

   "You...  get it?" he asked.

   "Yes." she said.

   "You know where to go now?"

   Yvette nodded.  I just defused a bomb, she thought to herself again. 
"Yes," she added quickly.

   Eglin City Police Headquarters.  Night.

   "WHAT WE DO," the voice yelled over the senior officers in the meeting
room.  The black man yelling stopped as the room went quiet.  Richard
Daniels had seen the confusion in the place and had already quietly given
orders to the officers at the various scenes including demanding the
forensics be fast-tracked.  "What we do," he said again, this time to a
room of men and women who were listening.  "Is we do our jobs.  We gather
and follow the evidence.  If you don't have anything to do right now, go
home and sleep.  Come back in the morning and give the rest of us a break."
He stopped and looked at them.  "This is not a time for arguments or
politics.  If you don't want to go home them go to your precincts and start
searching for the Commissioner again.  Your choice."

   He finished up and looked at them.  The men and women got the message
and started out of the room.  Daniels waited until he was alone and made
his way out himself.  A young officer was running up to him.  "Sir?"

   Daniels looked at him.  "Yes, son?"

   "This call came in." he said and handed over the piece of paper. 
"Anonymous."

   Daniels looked at it, read it slowly and looked at the young man.  "Why
we waiting?" he asked.

   Rennie Holdings Warehouse.  Night.

   IronRod had made sure there was no trace of him or young Anna who had
come with him.  The van had been wiped down and they had worn ski masks and
gloves.  He and Anna quickly ran over to where she had parked the car. 
"Will they buy it?" she asked.

   "Hope so." he told her as they got in.  He started the engine and sped
off.

   It was five minutes before the the car and vans arrived.  The police
vehicles were under orders not to use sirens as they took up positions
around the warehouse.  Daniels was out and watching as heavily armed units
surrounded the building then he gave the nod to the senior SWAT commander
and et them do their job.  After another few minutes he heard the message
over the radio.  They had found bodies.  One of them the Commissioner.  He
sighed and waited until the all clear was made then walked in to the
warehouse.

   The building was empty, save for a makeshift office to one side.  The
van was parked in the centre with three boxes against one side of it.  The
body was slumped over the wheel.  It wore a garish suit and most of the
head was missing.  "Where is she?" he said to one of the SWAT officers and
was pointed to the back of the van.  Daniels walked up to the open door and
peered round inside it.  Commissioner Jane Gregg's body on it's side,
twisted over as if she had been reaching for the rear door.  At the end,
behind the seat a gun lay.  Richard Daniels was shaken from the sight by
his cell phone ringing.  He answered it.

   "You found it?" the voice said.

   "It?" he asked.

   "The bombs."

   Daniels looked at the boxes.  He raised an eyebrow as he found himself
looking at full boxes of plastic explosive.  He put a hand over the cell
phone and looked at the officer guarding it the pile.

   "The detonators are in a bag on this side, sir." the officer said.

   "We got them." Daniels said into the phone.

   "Good.  There's two more at City Depot 80.  School buses.  They've been
made safe."

   "That's nice." Daniels said.  "Mind explaining the bodies."

   "Yes.  We couldn't safe the Commissioner, I'm afraid."

   "We?"

   "Friends.  we were following Smiler to see if there was more bombs But
heard gunshots."

   Daniels looked back inside the van.  "You should make a statement."

   "Never liked paperwork."

   "How do I know you're not part of this..."

   "Check the crime reports." the voice said.  "Break-ins, for the greater
good.  There are witnesses."

   "The greater good--" Daniels started but heard the call end.  he
listened for a moment more then switched off his phone.  The forensics
people had arrived and were ordering everybody out.  He made his way
outside, making a mental note to check the source of the call.



   Eglin City.  Night.

   IronRod wiped the phone off before removing the back, then the battery
and the SIM card.  He opened the car window and tossed the body of the cell
phone out, then snapped the SIM car in two and threw that out with the
battery.  "Where to, boss?" Anna asked, as she kept the speed to the limit.

   "Where else, our new home." he smiled....
