In The Black

Somewhere in Texas.

Agent Sandra McLane of the Secret Service holds the cellphone in her hand as she looks at Dolores Nogales of the Texas Ranger Division.  Dolores continues looking at the files from the flash drive provided to her by the Lady In Black.

Sandra “Ranger Nogales, I am about to call in a very big favor.  It’s the kind of favor you don’t get to call in often.  But she said if I needed to…  Here goes.”

Gavonia.

It is later in the day as Queen Yonda entertains guests.  Her entertainment is interrupted by one of her servants who provides her a cellphone on a silver tray.  Yonda looks to her guests and nods.  There is no need for the Queen to excuse herself.  She may simply stand and leave.  She picks up the phone and exits the room.

Texas.

Dolores looks at Sandra for a moment as Sandra continues to hold.

Dolores “From a Texas Ranger to a Queen.  Movin’ up quickly aren’t ya?”

Gavonia.

In her private chambers, Yonda answers the phone.

Yonda “Please be precise.”

Sandra “This is Sandra McLane of the Secret Service.”

Yonda “Calling in that favor a little soon, Agent McLane.”

Sandra “I know.  This is important.  What can you tell me about the connection between Cobblepott and Fang Gow?”

Yonda pauses.

Yonda “Fang Gow?  Of China?  Gow Celestial?”

Sandra “We have reason to believe he’s involved in whatever this tangled web is.”

Yonda looks around her room.

Yonda “Fang Gow practically runs China.  He has a legitimate business, but if he’s involved in anything illegal, it will be covered up locally.  He is untouchable.  If he is connected in anyway to someone in the kidnapping ring you spoke-”

She catches herself, pausing in an almost complete gasp.

Yonda “Who have you sent there?”

Sandra “Sent?”

Yonda “People who go after Fang Gow…those are people who court death.”

Sandra looks at Dolores.  She does not like the tone in Queen Yonda’s voice.

The Wrath of Fang Gow

As guards begin to scramble, Jean Le Grand struggles with her binds.  Dale Daring is next to her, also struggling to free herself.

The sound of gunfire is heard from a distance, prompting the sounds of chaos.
