"Thank you Sensei. Just forward me the details and I'll get people on it. I'm so excited to see you. It has been so long."
Hanging up the phone, Sarah wiped back a tear. Things were just falling into place so easily. In a short time she would be once again flying around in a Gi and teaching women to feel powerful. She would even have her new young stud as a follower. He would have no choice in the matter. That was her next stop.
Picking up her keys and handbag, she notified her assistant that she would be out the rest of the day. She had worked at the Alternative Energy Alliance ever since arriving in town with Charles 11 years ago. Nothing had changed. At the rate the city was converting, you would think her young soap peddling salesman was the head of Marketing.
That gave her a chuckle as she strapped on her seatbelt and headed towards the highway. The Whitefeather Breeding Facilities were just outside the city. She had never been there before, and relished the thought of them trying to get her to make an appointment beforehand.
Sarah had been an MMA instructor in San Francisco with one of Bruce Lee's original stunt crew. Now, that same person was expanding and starting to build studios across the U.S. The timing couldn't have been better for her.
Mixed Martial Arts was a term that could be traced back to Bruce Lee's lack of satisfaction with any one discipline. His eventual hybrid, Jeet Kune Do, was experiencing a revival in the studios. She was going to take advantage of that and build one smack dab in the middle of this God forsaken hole.
She turned off the highway and saw the breeding grounds. Horses had always been such beautiful creatures to her. She owned a few on their first estate and was devastated when she had to let them go. She might have to start making excuses to visit this sprawling ground. She certainly had one today.
As she entered the facility and looked around, she saw Jason immediately. He was standing with his back to her and was working to get a bridle on a reluctant horse. It was a pure white Appaloosa the likes of which she had never seen. As it kicked it's legs in the air it was so beautiful she started to get a little damp. The Whitefeather future was bright if this horse was typical of their product.
Jason deftly slipped on the bridle and turned around to lead the horse back to its stall. Only it wasn't Jason. It wasn't even a male! The young female was his spitting image, most likely a much younger sister. She was every bit as tall.
"I'm sorry miss", Sarah said, "I'm looking for Mr. Jason Whitefeather."
The girl looked at her with amusement. "You mean Hawk? He's down towards the gardens. Most people coming to talk to him don't usually come through this way".
Sarah recovered nicely. "I was headed that way but I couldn't help but notice your beautiful companion. May I?"
"He's just as likely to nip your ear off, but go ahead."
Sarah imperceptibly cooed and placed her hand softly on the horse's neck. It turned slightly but didn't bite. Jason's sister looked impressed. She could feel the power coursing through the animal.
Gently she removed her hand. One stallion was enough to get her juices flowing today.

"Of course Lady Dimplemore. We will have everything tailored to fit your needs exactly".
"I won't stand for any common leather mind you. I'm not buying a car like that Spanish guy keeps trying to sell on the telly".
"Of course not". Jason's mouth was moving but his mind was starting to wander. His sister started to come around the corner and was followed by - oh crap this was not his day.
Still, she looked almost heavenly. Her red hair looked more Auburn and lit up like fire in the sun. She was wearing a skin tight pair of white jeans and a tasteful gray blouse. She walked with the grace of a runway model and yet the stalking movements of a predator. Underneath her Ray Bans he knew those deep Hazel eyes were fixated on him.
"Would you excuse me ladies? Mr. Stedman here will be happy to finalize your order and make sure everything is perfect when your animals arrive in Leeds".
Lady Dimplemore looked at Sarah approaching and gave a loud "harumph".
Jason walked up to Sarah, flashed her his smile, and said, "Ms Green, what a pleasant surprise". He extended his hand.
She just looked at it and tilted back her shades.
"You looked up the pool permit this morning to try and recall my last name". She shifted to one hip. I haven't gone by Green since my divorce three years ago. It's Keller. Sara Keller. Pleased to meet you." She took his hand and gave it a firm shake.
