Strip's face distorted as if he'd had a mouthful of something VERY sour. "HIM again. How's he gonna be screwin' around with us this time, I wonder?"
Kayleigh could almost smell EX-COP on Shale. "So how did you two happen to meet?"
"Nitropolis probably isn't the easiest place to be a cop, or get people to trust one." Buck remarked.

"I don't know," Sapphire shook her front, "but that's what I'm trying to find out. He's nasty enough to try something dirty."
~~~~~
Shale took a deep breath and looked at Ebony and she nodded. "It wasn't under very pleasant circumstances, I'm afraid. She was 12 and was injured in one of the gang wars. The ones responsible left her alone like that, but I stayed with her until the ambulance arrived to take her to the hospital. If I hadn't been there, she would've died and neither of you wouldn't be seeing her here as she is now."
"And I've been forever grateful to Shale ever since," added Ebony.

Buck nodded appreciatively "As would be anyone else who's really gotten to know her."
"Dirty" pretty much describes him yeah." Strip growled. "I wonder what he could be cooking up for us now?"

"I guess she's been pretty much inspiring everybody she meets," Shale smiled at Ebony.
~~~~~
"I wish I know, Dad," Sapphire's voice cracked as she spoke. She felt very scared right about now.

"Well, I'm not gonna sit still and let him make the first move this time." the 'Bird man growled. "I'm callin' some security and P.I. friends of mine to make some inquiries."
Speaking of inspiration... Buck cast a sidelong glance at Kayleigh, who seemed to be getting into a more amourous frame of mind. He was sure this was getting quite obvious to Ebony, on more than one sensory front.

"Whatever helps, Dad," nodded Sapphire, "I, for one, would like to know why he's still after me, even though he's failed a few times before. That should tell him something, at least."
~~~~~
Ebony could quickly sense what was going on between Buck and Kayleigh and was able to tell what that was. She was sure of the implications now. They both have feelings for each other...

Strip regained his "TASTING-SOMETHING-BAD" look. "He thinks he's smart and subtle, but he's an ignorant narcissist and never gets a clue that he's lost the argument. He's like Chick Hicks, except with a smooth-talking exterior and an even bigger cesspool beneath the facade."
Buck decided to move on to another subject for now. "You know, the expression on that Nitro-Ade boss's face when Kamui played back his garbage was priceless."

"Someone should teach him that he can never get what he wants that way," frowned Sapphire, "He'll just end up losing again, but he's definately sounding like Chick with a one-track mind."
~~~~~
"I saw it up close," said Ebony, "He reacted like something bit his bumper."

"He always was a jerk." Buck sniffed with disdain. "His attitude is, "If you're not purebred, you're not scrap!"
"One of these days he's gonna come up against someone bigger n' meaner than he is." Strip scowled. "And I might know just the person."

"Purists," Ebony muttered irritably, "Kamui's not a purebred, and neither are Phoenix or Sapphire. I'm not a purebred and neither are the twins."
"I'm not a purebred either," added Shale, "It just strikes me as a bit stupid for someone to think that only purebreds are the only ones that can be useful for anything. Mixes can be useful too."
~~~~~
"Who's that, Dad?" asked Sapphire.

"Even Buck is a mix." Kayleigh observed. "Doesn't matter to Dinoco, obviously."
"She's the daughter of a South African guy I knew, and she used to be a Marine sergeant." Strip answered. "Her name's Moira. I just called her and asked her to do some security work for us."

"And that's why I have a great amount of respect for Tex," said Ebony, "Never cares about a person's pedigree, but a person's personality. That and he likes the twins."
~~~~~
"Oh, she'll certainly be a big help," nodded Sapphire.

(Whew... Back from mini-vacation. Richard's waiting on Tex.)

"She'll be over later," Strip promised. "You'll know her on sight."
Tex looked over to Richard...
"The boss has had a couple of kids, but his ex-wives never gave him a chance to raise them." Buck shrugged. "So he likes being a surrogate grandpa."
