"Hm, maybe I should talk to them when they have the time..." Ebony said, then lowered her antenna to Kestrel, Falcon, and Gryffin snuggled against her fender, "But not now. Not with my father's presence so close. And that trial. I really need Nix's help with my father. I'll wait..."
She sighed, "And I need some rest..." She stretched out in a relaxing pose on the rug, mindful of her twins and Gryffin.

"Well, I'd say just to give her some time and space to sort everything out," said Delfina, "Wait until she's in a better mood to talk to her about it. Then we'll see what happens."
(((((OOC: I'm going to call it a night too... I'm so sleepy that I can't continue any longer...)))))

Aron looked at Boost. "Talk to Delfina, Phoenix or Kathleen if she's around. There is no shame in letting any of them help you." He crossed his arms. "I have recieved a pick-me-up from all of them. I tend to get into trouble weither I like it or not."

"I figured as much." Boost nodded. "Just from the way you relate things." He caught sight of Lightning and Sally moving through and did not really want to linger. "Anyway, I'll talk to ya later, OK?"
"OK." Ramone nodded. "I just hafta clean and mask out the area, gonna take a few minutes."
Kendall relaxed with Ebony, still working on his notebook. "At some point, once we're all squared away in Cortez, you guys can meet the rest of the team."
A courier van called ahead and received instructions, then took the road to the mountain.

"Yeah..." Ebony nodded absently. She had reached down with her antenna and was stroking Gryffin's roof to calm him down as he was beginning to miss his mother.
She was still bothered by the fact about her father, but had little idea how she and Phoenix were going to go about with the plan.

"Likewise." Aron said as Boost seemed to hurry as much as he could while also trying not to raise attention. He looked at Lightning and Sally entering. By the way I relate things? Am I such an open book? Aron thought to himself. Maybe it was time to have some mountain climbing done before the hunt. There was however a short list of who would want to come with him. Delfina was his choice not to invite, Daniel was working, it was obvious Martin would not come along. Aron's PDA pinged as he got a message. "Hey, there is a van on the way here, maybe you got another summons." The message was obviously from Daniel. "Har har, v. funny " Aron replied. There was no reply, but Aron decided to check it out anyway, knowing that Daniel would see it through the security cameras.

Raine nodded before leaning against her father.

Ramone carefully cleaned and applied protective masking around the area, then brought out his paints and specialized brushes, working the dagger striper on a piece of newspaper until the brush and paint were behaving exactly as he wanted. By now, he didn't need to apply any stencil to follow, he had most of his patterns worked into his very reflexes. With the dagger striper on the end of his antenna, he laid down the silver first, then waited for that to dry before going with the white.
The van was waved through the portal and into the corridors after being cautioned on the rules for inside, and the throngs parted to allow a vehicle unfamiliar with the routine to navigate her way through, guided by Ondine. They reached the center court, where Ondine waved Aron over. "She says she's got a package for you."
Kendall sat up a little. "I wonder who that is?"
"Looks like somethin' else for Aron. Hope it's not some other idiot suin' him." Misty snorted.
"Don't think so. It's a package." Dawn said before turning back to Delfina. "Did you have any idea about this?"
Bree set down at the Cortez municipal airport, seeing the plaza in the distance.

Ebony sniffed, but couldn't recognize this unfamiliar scent. "Don't know," she said, "I would be suspicious, though..."
*****
"No," Delfina looked toward where the van came in and scanned her to see if she held anything dangerous.
*****
A few minutes later, Shale landed on the LZ in Cortez and looked at the strip mall for a few minutes before giving a satisfactory nod that he was okay with going there.

Aron was about as confused as the others. He greeted the van with smiles and kind words, as that kinda stuff really made people's day working at jobs which required contact to the outside of the workplace.
Claire, Thalberg, Cole, Jason or an enemy with a bomb. Aron's mind ran through the possibilities. He accepted the package and decided to look at it. After a moment's inspection, he took up his swiss knife to open it.

<<< Wouldn't it be hilarious if Shale and Bree met a particular bush plane there... in her usual state of intoxication... and witness their reaction as they realize that this is the one hired on for the hunt >>>
Bree looked over the hangar-like structures that made up the strip mall. They were not much different from residential hangars in design, but bigger and with open storefronts and signs beneath an overhang, with warehouses behind. Other aircraft and resident ground-pounders were coming in and out.
"Well, let's find the fuel shop."
"Aron?" Ondine called out. "There's a package here for you. You'll be happy to know that it's NOT a summons."
"Looks like just a regular commercial courier." Kendall peered outside. "With a package."
"Who would be givin' him a package?" Misty wondered.
Inside the package, there was, neatly shrink-wrapped, a sketchbook and a letter on CTN stationery. Dear Mr. Verant, here is the sketchbook that was taken from the courtroom at your civil suit trial, for the young woman from whom it was taken. We apologize for this oversight. Disciplinary actions have been taken against those responsible. There was the signature of the director of the CTN network affiliate in Denver.

"Sounds like a good idea," nodded Shale, who hoped that he wouldn't run into a certain bush plane that he knew all too well.
*****
"A package?" Ebony asked curiously, "Wonder who it's from."
*****
Delfina blinked and retreated from her probings of the package. "It's not threatening, at least," she said, "So, do you know where Darcy is? I think this might have something to do with her as well."

Aron resisted the urge to go flip through it. "Thank you." He said to the van and gave her a nice tip, of course in the world's currency they were in.
"Can someone get Darcy?" Aron asked the crowd that had gathered.

"Thank you." the van smiled before taking her leave, giving the impression that this place was a bit much for her to take in all at once.
"I can get her." Ondine went to seek out the Superbird girl, who was still with Abby and Samantha at the goat pen. The teenager raised her eyeshades in inquiry, but came over anyway. Ondine then went on to Ebony and Kendall, who were looking on.
"It was addressed to Aron, but it's actually for Darcy. They sent the sketchbook back!"
"What's that all about?" Snot Rod asked of Delfina. He had seen Darcy around and thought her cute, but too young for his preference.
"Something wrong?" Bree asked Shale, noting a bit of trepidation in him.

Without looking in the book, Aron folded the letter and put it inside by the cover. He let a bit of it stick out. While the letter was addressed to him, the contents of it could help ease Darcy.
Aron saw Darcy approaching, and he walked towards her, and once at acceptable lengths, he revealed the sketchbook. "There seems to have been a mistake, it was in a package addressed to me." He said.
