In The Black

Yonda, Queen of Gavonia is in no mood to be bothered.  From the tone in Sandra McLane’s voice on the phone, she knows something bad is about to happen.  She knows that it will likely be near Hong Kong, where Fang Gow’s main office is.  There is the deep threat of an international incident about to occur.  Her nation is small and has endured past wars involving other nations, but this time with the threat that a man like Gow could have on the global economy as well as the presence of the super powered individuals in the United States, it troubles Yonda greatly.  Perhaps the fall of the Graysons truly was the fall of innocence in this new world they all find themselves in.

Back in Texas, Sandra McLane of the Secret Service and Dolores Nogales of the Texas Ranger Division continue to look through the flash drive provided the Ranger by the Lady In Black.

Sandra “I want a copy of that drive.  I want to take it back to Washington and…”

Sandra can hear her cellphone vibrating.  She looks at it and sees that the call is of an unknown origin.  She answers anyway.

Sandra “Hello?”

Washington, D.C.

On the other end of the call is Sally Norris, Sandra’s wife.

Sally “Hey, I think there may be a problem.”

Sandra “What’s wrong?”

Sally “Gail hasn’t returned.  She was supposed to hours ago.  One of Black’s contacts, Emily’s here.  We’ve got protection in case someone tries to barge in.  Also, there’s been a report of a possible kidnapping in New York.  Similar story.”

Sandra “I know Black’s N.Y.C. contact.  If they’re going after her, this isn’t good at all.  As soon as I’m done here I’m on my way home.”

Sandra does not hear anything on the other side.

Sandra “Hello?  Sally.  Sally!”

Dolores “Lose the call?”

Suddenly, the door bursts in to the room Sandra and Dolores are in.  Several men force their way in with weapons with Sandra and the Texas Ranger suddenly drawing their pistols towards them.

Back in Washington, a woman in a red hat sits patiently in her car while a nearby building erupts in flames.  She speaks into a small device rather calmly.
