Sam's squeak of surprise gets me moving to the door of the jet fast gun out. I look out to see Twitch coming with four guys behind her. I recognize one, a somewhat annoying FBI agent assigned to the new branch. The one next to him I don't know but is wearing the same black suit. The other two guys are carrying big cases, I look at Sam she looks back and shrugs.
We get out of the doorway when Twitch's daughters come through. Twitch stops at the steps up looking a little unsure the four men come on board and drop their luggage. After a moment of looking at the steps and testing one Twitch comes up and looks around. She pads toward the back then comes back looking around and letting out a breath, her daughters take that as a command and land on her.
"Nia I figured you would get on one of those jumbo jets to go home." Twitch says lying down, trying to look calm instead of nervous.
Once you get to know her you realize Twitch has very expressive eyes. Anger and fear are easy to pick out, nervous is harder but once you figure it out you can't miss it.
"I got a private jet, not really mine but on loan from the FCI branch of the FBI. Constance and Ben are in the bedroom, new coffins with a TV in it, Constance laughed herself to the floor when we looked for them." Twitch laughs and shakes her head. "Twitch once we are airborne you are free to go up to the cockpit and watch us fly. We talked to the crew already, our stewardess is busy getting the food, she left half an hour ago." Twitch looks up surprise in her face and lets out a breath.
"That is unexpected, and welcome. I've never flown high enough to see clouds from the top. You two never try, the air gets thinner the closer you get." There are two yes moms from them as I move toward our unexpected passengers.
"Falco what the hell are you doing here and who are the rest of these guys?" Field Agent Falco looks up at me and sighs.
"We are assigned as your backup the upstart over there is my partner and fresh from training, Field Agent Benjamin Franco. These two back here are the other half of your team minotaurs both, one is called Linus the other is Charlie." I giggle, I can't help it I always loved the Charlie Brown specials.
"Well all we need now is Snoopy and Lucy. Falco I think your Snoopy.' He smiles and chuckles.
"I always liked Snoopy." I sigh and think of calling him Lucy instead.
"I'm not Lucy." Field Agent Franco says holding up his hands.
"Nope he's Ben-Ben." Twitch says getting me to laugh.
"My husbands name is Benjamin, Ben for short, Twitch's farm owner is named Ben so when we are there we call them both Ben-Ben." I say turning when the stewardess comes back finally pulling up packages from a cart.
In all four packages get on the plane, Sam and I trade a look. I walk closer to her as she gets the packages set into the kitchen.
"I don't think we are going to eat that much." She looks up and smiles.
"Some of these are packages of blood, they are flash frozen all I need to do is toss them in the microwave and any vampires aboard have food. I have an assortment of alcohol and OJ for you. Salads, sandwich materials, and of course steaks and roasts in case anyone decides they want to eat a meal. The food will be fine on the jet for a week, the blood until I thaw it or a year whichever comes first." I smile at her rather impressed.
"Well then I guess I want an OJ and when are we taking off?"
"Soon as I get this packed away and the door shut. I'll give you your OJ before I shut the door. Oh Twitch if you would please move into the recessed portion of the floor, it is there for when we take off and land to keep you from breaking the jet." Twitch laughs and gets up to move into it.
I go and sit across from Sam wishing there were two seats a side. Sam smiles at me then gets up and leans across me to lower the window covers on the ones I can see easily. Before she sits she gives me a kiss getting us some hoots from behind us. I twist to look to see Ben-Ben and the minotaurs smiling at me. Snoopy is looking bored and tired.
"Snoopy you're slipping, Sam kissed me and you didn't say a thing." He sighs and looks up.
"I got yelled at by the director, called my wife even. Not doing that again she's pissed already we're moving to Phoenix."
"Damn and here I was thinking I was rid of you." Sam giggles and I get my OJ.
"Now, one chance for a drink before we leave I'll do food in the air." The stewardess says after shutting the door.
"Prissy and Dissy would like some water." Twitch says getting a confused look from the stewardess.
"I knew there was something we forgot. I'll give you a bowl of water and refill when it's low or spills. Small bowl apologies on that I'll be sure and get a big one in Phoenix."
With a bowl of water for Twitch's daughters, they come out smaller than you would expect considering how big Twitch is, the engines roar to life. I squeak as we move to the runway and take off. Twitch is looking over at me giggling then sends her daughters over. Prissy and Dissy buzz me playing games of don't touch Nia, this gets me to calm down I'm not looking out the windows by Sam I'm watching them.
When we level out the stewardess comes back leaving the door open for Twitch. Twitch gets up and walks that way the new card stuck in her wing flashing as she goes into the cockpit. Sam gets up and follows her squeezing past the stewardess busily making up a salad and sandwiches.
"I never would have believed it if I didn't just watch it, the mighty Nia afraid of flying." I turn around to look at Falco.
"I'm not afraid of flying I'm afraid of heights. I gotta have one flaw otherwise I'd be to perfect."
