Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Taking on Responsibility

Chapter 6

I had a big day ahead of me.  First I checked with Flux about setting my priorities.  He had identified 5 serial killers, 39 pedophiles, 9 probable kidnapping victims being held…6 of those were children, and 801 other serious crimes all within a 300-mile radius.  Crap.  My faith in humanity just dropped a few notches.  He also had logged 105 children in Boise which required my healing.  Ok, let's start with the 9 kidnappings.  I would send the FBI all the info on them and their location.  I had FLUX do a search and selected Special Agent Lydia Powell.  She was young and pretty, and FLUX had said she was very competent and new on the job. 

The serial killers I planned to handle myself.  Twenty-nine of the pedophiles were currently in a position to abuse kids.  Get all the info to the state police in the proper states.  The serious crimes…350 murders…track those people for now…lots of crimes for stealing…and Flux had tabs on the transport of drug money…going from Seattle to Chicago…50 million in $100 bills.  It was in a small moving van and Flux had tracking on the driver's phone.  Perfect.  Time from a withdrawal. 

In the terminal, I went to the auction and found a used stealthy hoverbike for 800 credits.  I dropped 80 gold coins in the black alcove and got the bike.  It was a small capsule single seater.  It could hover up to 50 meters above a surface and had a top speed of 480mph.  Its cloak allowed it to be a blurry image while traveling.  Imperfect but it should be good enough for me.  I suited up in my black combat armor and got into the hoverbike.  It took twenty minutes to get the basics down with FLUX’s instruction and then I was off. 

Flux linked into the bike's nav system and drove the bike.  An hour later we were approaching the van.  I passed it and landed.  It was close to dusk and I pulled out my AR-10 and shot out the tires as it passed.  The van stopped and two guys came out firing.  I got hit a few times but the armor easily deflected the shots. I reloaded and shot both men dead.  The van had half a ton of bills wrapped in bricks and some weapons.  I loaded the money into the terminal room.  Flux said two of the bricks of bills had trackers which he neutralized.  I closed the portal and got on the hoverbike.  I was fortunate that no other cars had passed in the 13 minutes this all took.  We were close to one of the serial killers so that was my next stop.  I just shot the guy through his window while he was cooking.  This man had killed at least 11 people according to Flux.  Flux sent a message to Agent Lydia Powell noting the man's password for his computer and the files showing the 11 people he recorded torturing and killing.

I took the controls and it was really fun flying around and playing in the skies.  I went west, down the coast, and then back home.  I parked the hoverbike in the terminal to get the fusion reactor recharged for a few credits.  The twins were looking for me as I exited.  I little shocked to find them knocking.

I sat the girls down.  I had made up my mind they could stay here.  I would buy them a car.  They would play sports in the fall, winter, and spring.  They would get $50 a week allowance each.  They had to get straight As in school.  If they did I would give them $1000 after their junior year each for a summer vacation.  If they got into college and had straight As I would pay for college as well.  Their jaws dropped.  We talked and firmed up the details.  No boys, drugs, or alcohol at the house and they must be home by 9 pm every night.  I gave them a key to my house and said they could make dinner in my kitchen when they wanted.  They were to keep the fridge filled and I would put a grocery list on the fridge.  I said I would leave cash in one kitchen cabinet for groceries and their allowance. They left really excited and happy.

Flux got them a used Jeep Gladiator.  It was dark blue and was 5 years old.  I had to pay $19k in Boise when I picked it up.  Flux had paid $2.1k down.  We would drive down in two days.  I put a stack of 100 $100 dollar bills in the cabinet.  Next, I had to find out Violet’s answer.  I returned to Stormheart and found Violet.  She had agreed.  We went to the mage academy and she got a protector’s bond cast on her.  The mage spell allowed her to find me and would cause her great pain if she tried to betray me or hurt me.  It was a powerful spell that had a 10-year life.  So in the span of 4 hours I was responsible for three different women.
