Scene 2
A private jet en route to South Carolina
As our jet made its way from St. John to Charleston, South Carolina, I began to mentally review my associates and their capabilities.
First of all, Ms. Starling, my lieutenant, had the unique skill set of both a police detective and an investigative reporter. Additionally, she had a fine tactical mind. I knew that if I became incapacitated, the team would be in good hands with her.
Next was our pilot, Ms. Falcon. I haven’t seen an aircraft, or even any other vehicle, that she couldn’t operate.
Next was Ms. Thrush, who could only be described as a combination infiltrator and con artist. This woman has the amazing ability to blend comfortably into any social setting. I have seen her equally at home in both a royal ball in her finest gown, or a NASCAR race in cut off shorts and a tube top.
Ms. Hawk was our weapons expert. She knows the combat characteristics of any weapon ever made, and many of those still on the drawing boards. I have never learned her complete past, but I have determined it had something to do with a certain covert government agency.
Ms. Raven also has a past, but hers is a little better known. She was in and out of jail as a youth. She would probably be there now if I hadn’t recruited her onto the team. Now she serves as our breaking and entering specialist. We haven’t found a lock yet that she hasn’t opened.
The last and newest member of our team is Ms. Swan. An expert computer hacker and internet surfer, she has the uncanny ability to sift through the staggering amount of information available on the web until she finds just what she’s looking for.
My team’s specialty is retrieving lost objects. Our clients seek us out when all the conventional channels have failed them. If something is lost, it’s our job to find it and return it to the rightful owner.
As I contemplated the note from the League, one thought kept coming back to me, what could the League need us for?
