"Or maybe they knew each other a long time ago and had only just gotten back together," said Ebony, "I don't profess to know much about the criminal justice system, though."

"She does," Phoenix said. "I keep telling her to not feel guilty since I'm not term like she is yet."
She bumped the shelf slightly sending boxes onto her roof.
~~~~~~
The sliver and black Skyline in question finally pulled up. "What was that all about?"

"Could be." Kendall nodded. "But I've only known Shale for a few years and hadn't seen much of him lately. I wonder if he's still seeing that Coast Guard woman?"

Delfina turned around and watched as a few boxes fell onto Phoenix's roof. "Are you alright?"
*****
"Oh," Shale turned, "Remember when I was telling you about the time when this Viper named Ebony and she confronted her deadbeat father? I even showed you the video of that. Well, he's just started harassing her again, breaking the no-contact contract. That was Kendall Massey, Ebony's husband, calling just now who told me about that."
*****
"You mean Bree? Probably," shrugged Ebony as she lay back again, tired, "Haven't seen her around, either. Probably busy working the coast, responding to shipwrecks or something."

Phoenix shook the boxes off of her, sending their contents across the floor. "Yeah," she sighed pulling a book from under her tire.
~~~~~~
"I take it we're going out there then," the Skyline said. "Playing bodyguards?"

"Hey," Delfina pointed with her antenna at the book, "That book's red. Would that be the one that could have the answer?"
*****
"That's what I figure," nodded Shale, as he slid the door to his cabin open, "You ready to go?"

Phoenix stopped and looked at the book, sure enough it was red with what looked like blue writing engraved into the red leather. "I can't make out the writing, might be Hindu, I don't know."
~~~~~~
"Yeah yeah I'm coming," the Skyline said as he boarded the Helicopter. "Don't get your rotors in a knot."

"Looks like Hindu to me," said Delfina as she looked at the engraved words, "Let's open it up and find out."
*****
"Sorry," sighed Shale, "I'm hoping that I might see Bree there."

Phoenix sat the book on her hood and opened the book. The pages were yellowed with age. "It is see, the Hindu gods are the ones that always have the multiple heads and arms."

"Missing getting cozy with the guard," Luke said taking a jab at his friend.

"That was the same over in my world," said Delfina, "They have quite a lot of beliefs and rituals, especially about fertility."
*****
"Well, yeah," said Shale as he spooled up, after making sure that Luke was secured in the cabin and closing the door, "But you can't blame me for missing her."

"This must be what we need," Phoenix said closing the book.
~~~~~
"True," Luke said. "But does she have a four-wheeled counter-part?"

"Robin says Bree just came back from service in the Arctic and was awarded a Gold Lifesaving Medal." Kendall said. "To go with the silver one and all the ribbons. Arctic service is hell on helicopters, they don't let any serve there more than two years at a time within a five-year period. Bree's got an extended leave coming up, and wants to spend it with her sisters and niece that she's hardly seen since the kid was born."

"That's good," said Delfina, "Now we got to clean this up, so we can leave this like we found it."
*****
"I'm not really sure," said Shale, "I haven't seen her in years. And the Coast Guard is a pretty lonely career."
*****
"That's great," said Ebony a little distracted at the moment as the twins started to push each other.

"Hey guys, not so hard." Kendall gently admonished the twins.

Phoenix nodded as she tucked away the book in her compartment and started to pick up the books. "I want to get out of here."
~~~~~~
"And PI isn't," Luke said. "Well at least you both got one thing in common; you're both married to your jobs."
