Jess was actually
happy again. She was excited from being over
the edge. And, after all, her happiness was all that
mattered to Kit. She
and Flee kept their voices quiet up there in the cockpit,
though, to not
give the blindfolded (with their ties) agents any more
knowledge than
they already had. They were listening to the concert,
too, and there was
lots going on. The leaders were giving instructions to
the "new Nation" for
the morning, among everything else.
Flece was
plenty excited too. From the fright. She had never been
close to that far over the law line. Kit
was kicking his mental butt for
having the girls in that kind of trouble. Craig and Ginny
killing him went
through his mind more than once. But it was done. Could
not be
changed.
He went through
the agents' pockets, finding nothing of use. One
of them had a radio, though, which came alive: "York...code
one, over."
Cody asked
them what it meant and neither would answer. The
same message came again. Kit figured it was for their
hostages and
thought it best just to let it ride. The message kept
up, every 15 seconds
or so, until they were out of range.
Not long after,
Kit finished checking the charts and showed Jessy
a grass strip way out in the middle of Pennsylvania farm
country to
land on. Gettysburg was nearby. And she flew them on
in.
They got the
agents out in their underwear and cuffed them to an
ole Piper Cub, the suitless suits telling the guys that
they were dead and
such. Cody just said he was sorry he had to leave them
like that, but
that they would be found in the morning, then added he
hoped they
would leave the girls out of it and have the honor, at
least, of just
coming after him.
One answered
"fudge you", or something like that.
The girls
taxied them back out the runway, all three of them
swallowing some speed pills as they rolled to the end.
Jess called Josh
through Pute's scrambler while Kit and P worked on the
safety of them
taking the Citation, which was a go, telling Cyman what
had happened.
(The Chippys were furious, but understood.)
Jessy told
Joshua that they needed the jet, and asked him to call
Elaine to get another plane and put it on North Air's
roster. Josh was
scared for them after learning it was an agent problem.
But she assured
him that they were bueno, gave him the fondest
of vaya con Dioses and
told him that they would let him know all the details
as soon as they had
more time. Kit changed seats with Felecia and they got
back into the
computers' search for whom those suits were toiling for
and the rest.
Kit said,
"I have a feeling it'd be better to not get the jet...this
one
will have our fingerprints everywhere...and this one's
a lot easier on the
deck...and the guys were observed when they flew in.
I'm just not too
sure there wouldn't be agents waiting for someone to
take 1-4 All...and
there's the infra-red difference...and we'd have to go
IFR on flight plans
..."
"Yeah, you're
right...dammit," Jess already had figured.
"I know you'd
rather fly that, precious...sorry. I've asked Pute to
clear us into Canada," and checked the charts. "We can
make Montreal
with good reserve." Then ole Kit got a chest pain, and
winced, and put
his right hand over the left side of his chest.
"KIT! R'you
all RIGHT?!" Jessy cried, and attended him with
Flece.
"Yeah...yeah...heartburn...real
bad..." he answered after a few
moments.
"Yeah, right,
heartburn...speed and major stress on no sleep..."
and Jessy got an unopened water bottle out of her bag,
opened it and
gave it to him to drink. And the pain began passing,
he registered to
them.
"Flee can
help me fly...you rest...awww Jeezuz, sweetheart," and
she gave him some tender kisses between his swigs of
water.
"No. I'm all
right. It's gone. We've gotta do the deck...and Pute
can sneak us through Customs," and he typed some more
instructions
into Putey.
"Are you sure...."
He stopped,
checked his inners and leaned over for a kiss. "Yeah,
preciouses...I'm all right."
"Goddammit,
if you have a heart attack I'll kill you," Jess said with
concern.
"Me too,"
Flece helped.
"Well, that
would let Craig and Ginny off the hook," he quipped
back. They had a quick snicker, got the goggles on, kept
Puter on the
modem, got into the air and leveled off at around 50
feet above ground
and sashayed around the hills and even some trees. "Watch
the power
lines and guy wires, honey..." he said.
"Gotcha, Hotey,"
she came back.
They still
had the concert on the cabin speakers. Willis, Stallone,
Russell and Sorbo were speaking on Arnold's behalf, giving
current
figures on signatures, dollars raised and stuff. They
talked on about
taking the fight to the courts and anywhere else they
could, and
delivering the medicine and food to the war zones, and
told about some
of the fighting just to do that, and thanked "whoever
was doing the
holograms...great job!" That was followed by cheers.
Then they
announced that a few more small countries were helping
out, what they
could. But every bit was a boost. The performers had
a new WPG
"hymn" to sing after that, and the regular music followed.
Our three
outlaws talked about all that as they flew out of
Pennsylvania into New York, then were quiet awhile as
they got under
the high overcast, thinking about their good luck in
that, or the spirits'
help.
"Well..."
Jess re-started, as she and Kit kept their goggled eyes
out the window, "...Craig and Ginny are about due for
a call..." and
chuckled along with Felecia, though both hoping quietly
that it
wouldn't give Kit more heartburn.
He took a
deep breath, a swig of water and let out the carbon
dioxide. "You think this is funny?" he
barely let out of his mouth
with the breath left.
"No...no we
don't, honey, do we, Flee?"
"Sure don't,
Kit," Flece added, though both girls were smiling.
"Uh, is there
anything you'd like me to tell them?" Jess dug,
giving him a gentle poke in the ribs.
"Sure...tell
them I got you in the trouble I promised I wouldn't
...right away," giving a look like Sundance admitting
to Butch that he
couldn't swim before they jumped off the ledge, though
the girls
couldn't really see it with the goggles on his face.
"You're safe
with me, darlin'. I won't tell if you won't," and
they had a quick look at each other, and laughed at how
funny they
looked with the gogs on. "Is your heart better?"
"Yeah...I'm
not tellin'," he answered.
"Don't scare
me like that again. 'K?"
"Yup."
Well, they
made it fine to a small, deserted strip on the North
shore of Lake Ontario by around 3AM. And, before Kit
could get
them going again, going for the light switches, Jess
said, "hold on
Buck Rogers, let's not waste the speed...right, Flee?"
"O yeah,"
best friend agreed, "but we've got to take it easy on
his heart, cowgirl."
"I can stay
out of it," Kit suggested.
"O no you
can't. You know what they say...get right back in the
saddle, cowboy," Jess cajoled. And it was a little deja
vu-ey. She cut
the electrics, radios and engines and she and Flece led
him to the
bench seat in back, took his clothes off, stripped themselves
and had
their pleasure, considering his heart. Who needs to own
an oil country
to have the best sex in the world, huh? It was a nice
restorer of
confidence, and all that. And yep, Foreigner (unless
it's Journey) were
on at the concert doing "I Want To Know What Love Is".
Magic is
what that was.
"Kit..." Jess
whispered amid her passion.
"Hey..." he
replied, breathing heavily, right on the verge.
"I'm really
in love..." as she neared her ecstasy.
"Oooo Jessee..."
and felt her coming, sparking Flee and himself.
"You're just an impressionable young angel..." he said
softly, coming
into her.
"No...I really...am..."
still writhing in ecstasy on him, Flee
hugging and feeling her from behind while pleasuring
herself.
He couldn't
find any words. He just kissed her face in hot
passion, and she returned the same.
Minutes later,
they commed Sundance and told him all about
the meeting with the President and revealed that they
were in a
predicament with agents, but managing so far. And they
jabbered on
for awhile about all the situations, and said adios
in a few.
They had been
listening on the radio to the haps in D.C. - like
the instructions to demonstrate around the houses of
the Supreme
Court Justices, unsigned Congressmembers and administration
officials, and informed everyone of the law team's plan
to tie up the
dockets of all the high courts around the world, especially
the World
Court's in the Hague, the house that Carnegie built.
They listened
to the leaders of signatory countries speaking via
satellite to the "Nation", as were stars of screen, stage,
sports and
politics. Then they heard about the permit for the concert
expiring at
midnight, already hours ago. So the concert was being
stopped and
the millions being told to disperse. Yeah, right. A lot
were sleeping.
Well, passed out. And the part of the "Nation" still
awake was
making plans to create havoc in D.C. and the other capitols.
And
some were getting carted off to jail. The police got
the PA system
turned off - yeah, the statues might lose beauty sleep,
some of the
rhetoric - and kept at getting the folks to go home,
the National
Guard helping. The Army was guarding the White House
and other
buildings and residences.
The concert
at Monument was picking up energy, coming up
with songs about what to do next and what had happened
and was
happening. People all over the world were phone calling
the offices
of government leaders to voice support for the WPG, and
some
leaders had contacted the Peace Government to say that
they would
go ahead and sign if only there weren't all the guns
to their or their
families' heads.
Our guys called
Josh and the others again to hear their report
about the concert bust and how they were faring, and
to tell them
that they wouldn't be taking the jet after all and for
them not to
either and why. Talk about special: Josh, Kenja, Evan,
Stefi, Essy,
Phil, Sonia, Emilio and poor lonely Juli all gave them
their love and
concern. And after goodbys it was time to head on out.
