"And me from Tony Blitz," added Ebony.
"Oh, okay," Meredith gave a nod, and turned to Ebony, "Um, does this affect my work hours at the bookstore?"
Ebony shook her front, "No, you'll still get your paycheck like you do every other week, so no worries, okay?"
"Alright," Meredith gave another nod, "Uh, can I give Luke a call? I want to let him know what I'll be doing."
"Sure," said Ebony, "Go ahead."
Meredith smiled and dialed the number that the silver Skyline had given her only months before so that they could keep in touch. She listened to the ringing.

With a yawn he answered it. "Hello, Garretts..."

"Have you heard of Giavonni Mariatti?" Meredith asked, "He's the head don of the New York Mafia... and he's my father... I'm scared that he might come looking for me because his former right-hand man, Cesare Lancione, is here."

"Alright," replied Meredith, "You'll most likely find me at the mountain with the humans. They're friends of Phoenix and Ebony and they'll keep me safe."

Meredith hung up her cell and looked at the others. "Luke's coming."
"Good, because we'll need all the help we can get," said Ebony.

Kendall listened while all this was taking place. He was making notes on everything, to discuss with Jay later.
Lancione and his goons cruised around for another little bit, then found a cheap motel on the outskirts to hole up in. He realized now that Ebony had a steady partner and many friends who were not without resources. His plans had to alter a bit, but his main objective was unchanged.

"At least you'll have him around incase something does happen," Phoenix said.

"I know," said Meredith, "Luke's a great guy. I kinda like him. Though Amber's been teasing me about that."
She paused for a moment, "Um, how do I get to the mountain?"
"Oh, one of us can take you," said Ebony.
"I'll take you," Ricardo offered, "I know where it is and they know me very well there. So once I explain everything to them, they'll give you shelter."
Meredith lit up, "Okay."

Shale blinked awake, then looked down with his light brown eyes at the Skyline. "Sure, what's up, Luke?" the Agusta/Bell asked as he straightened up and made pre-flight preparations. He slid open his cabin door for the Skyline to board him.
