She thinks of many things, all that she remembers is pleasant. Many are memories of Jackie and his mother who because it was Jackie who brought her in, took her in and opened her heart to 'V'. Many were the late night dinners after a job for the Padre, or they got into a fight in a nightclub, coming out with bruises, and maybe a loose tooth. Oh those times, if she could go back to them, what would she change, knowing what little time she had left with him. Then she decides she would change nothing, for nothing would change the path they were on. All she could do was make sure Jackie was honored in the way he wanted. His mother held an Ofrenda for him, but that was for her and Jackie's friends of the past, no there was still a bit of unfinished business to be taken care of. It was just how to go about dealing with it. Somehow, naming a drink after him just does not seem to be enough. But give it time and she will think of something. She opens her eyes, and shif...
In the Octagon Military Complex just outside of the national capital city, in its bowels about a thousand feet down, in the office of Psy-Ops Chief of Operations, Del Hawkins, an unpleasant meeting is going on. Hawkins: "We have lost the team assigned to look into the 'visitor' matter in St. Lou." Red Woman: "Did you have to eliminate them?" Hawkins: "I have no idea at this time.

Do you know how much equipment, personnel, information is involved in this project?" Red Woman: "I know far more than you do, obviously. You no longer have a choice, she has already discovered the evi...
V and Judy are enjoying some alone time in the observation garden of the Fortress of Unending Fire. Judy: "What is this furniture she has provided for us? I swear it is big enough for three to relax on." V: "I do not know what it is called but if ever we have our own place, I want one for us." Judy turns from her back, where she had been watching the celestial show and gazes at 'V' who turns her head to look back. Judy: "I know so little of what you have done, aside from the news and what you have told me about. But I know when you get that 'far away' look on your face that something from the past lingers. But whatever it is can wait a bit, so much of your life has been violent, but there has to be more than me that has given you peaceful if not happy memories if only short ones. Tell me of one, if you would?" V: "You are right, but it is those memories that keep me go...
