'I'd expect Akira's a little more tame now,' Delfina sent to Phoenix, 'because Ebony's been keeping a firm tire on him.'
She blinked as she watched Shroder change his appearance.
*****
Ebony felt good from the massaging. She sipped slowly on her own drink now, having finished feeding the twins.

Just as quickly, in a flurry of activity, Shroder changed back. "Taa-daa!"
"Thanks, Shroder." Kamui smiled.
"I could add a glamor to improve the illusion, but he won't take it." Veronica grumped slightly.
"I got enough trouble wi' crazy magic wimmen 'thout takin' their hocus-pocus on me!" Shroder protested as he went back to the sidelines.
Jason was thinking, as if working out how to best apply these different talents.
"So what did you think of that?" Kamui turned to Delfina and Phoenix.
Kendall slowly worked one side and then the other, mindful of the twins at the same time.

"Not bad at all," Phoenix said with an impressed nod.

"He's really good," nodded Delfina.

Ebony closed her eyes again, purring and enjoying the massaging.

"Jus' don't ask me to do no big Leibherr dumptruck, eh?" Shroder heaved a sigh.
"That would be stretching the fabric of reality." Kamui concurred.
Jason cleared his throat. "Right, then. Is everyone clear on the location and routes?"
At length, Kendall settled beside Ebony again, having given himself a good workout as well. He dangled an antenna over the twins to keep them occupied.

"Yes, I think so," nodded Delfina.
*****
Ebony lay back and closed her eyes for a bit. Then opened them again. "Ken...? Do you have your laptop...?"

"Got 'er right here." Ken fished it out of his compartment and propped it on his hood. "Something you wanted to see?"
"Now we need to figure out the right time to do this." Jason stared contemplatively at the map.

"I want to see if the Cortez Community College has a website," said Ebony.
*****
"When would Egill decide to come out of hiding?" asked Delfina.

"They certainly would." Kendall shifted the laptop over to Ebony.
"When he feels things have settled down again." Jason answered. "So we make things look quiet, almost complacent again and wait for him to rise to the bait."

Ebony took the laptop and typed in the name of the college, doing a Google search and getting many hits. She found the link to the college and clicked on it. "Oh, it does." The Viper started looked through the description of the courses listed there.
*****
"So then we act as if everything's normal," said Delfina, "and go on like we've never even met him. Continue with our daily routines, right?"

"For now." Jason nodded. "In the meantime, we draw out Gildenkrantz. He can't have any idea that it's us. This is where Shroder can help us."
"There's quite a bit listed there." Kendall remarked.
<<< About to call it a night >>>

"Of course," nodded Delfina.
*****
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna need some time to look through all these," said Ebony as she scrolled down the page.

"No problem, Ebs." Kendall smiled.
"And we'll be backing him up all the way." Kamui said. "I wouldn't ask of him or anyone else anything I wouldn't do myself."
"Thank Leyland for that." Shroder said with a shudder.
"Daniel!" Liska came back with a printout in her hand and dogs in tow. "I think I found what it is. In the second and third generations back, there are several crosses to a pre-Harrier ancestor, a Sea Vixen with the Royal Navy, on BOTH sides of the family. I did some additional looking - up, and the Sea Vixens were also known for having neurological problems in some of their lines, and there was no in-between with them - they were either perfection or bundles of bad recessives. The Harrier itself came from mutations which occurred from crossing Sea Vixen, Buccaneer and Sea Hawk lines, and those are the grandparents of today's British and American variants."
"That's quite a lot to assume from a few hours of Googling around." Daniel shook his head in bemusement.
"I may not know aircraft," Liska raised an eyebrow archly, "But I DO know geneology and pedigrees."

"And neither would we," Delfina nodded in agreement with Kamui.
She had been leaning slightly against Phoenix's side all and the Trans Am was letting her do so as the bond between them was strong.
In the meantime, Ricardo had taken Gryffin and had gone back inside the mountain and headed to the Center Court.
*****
Ebony looked through the courses thoroughly. She found a few that she wanted to look into later on, but the Humanities and Art courses she liked well.

Kendall had been looking over Ebony's hood when he noticed something on screen. "Hmmm... that name looks familiar."
He waved to Ricardo as the latter brought his son back into the court area.
"Yeah, Shroder's kind of like a little brother to us, as well as our mechanic." Kamui nodded. "He's a PEST now and then, but that's the nature of the beast."
