Chapter 64 - The Morning After?

"Shit." Fire says.

Fire is reading a text from Director Nick Jones on Dr. Kabeer Wong's phone. He is wearing a red and black plaid button shirt with black pants over black boots. His hair has become slightly more red. Dr. Wong is wearing a grey button shirt with black pants and shoes. Both men are in the kitchen having a simple breakfast of tea with bread and jam.

"What is the matter?" Dr. Wong asks.

"The prisoner is gone." Fire says, "So are all of the forensics."

"Really?" Dr. Wong asks.

"Right on time." Spectrum says as he suddenly appears a few feet away holding a backpack.

"Dear heavens." Dr. Wong says in mild shock, "I am still an old man, you know."

"My apologies, doc." Spectrum says with a slight head bow.

"There was an air heist." Fire says, looking up at Spectrum who is sporting a light blue button shirt over black pants and boots, "The prisoner and everything else is gone."

"Skull Reich actually attacked a US military aircraft within American airspace?" Spectrum asks.

"The entire cabin was knocked out." Fire says, "So no one can explain how the heist happened."

"That is mental." Spectrum says.

"Perhaps your proposal was not so crazy after all, Azeem." Dr. Wong says.

"What's the status on the jet?" Fire asks Spectrum while standing up.

"All green." Spectrum says, dropping the backpack onto the table, "No bugs. I have already changed the transponder. I also scanned our personal belongings, nothing suspicious."

Spectrum retrieves a black phone in rugged casing and hands it to Fire. He also gives Fire a wallet and a black plastic bag. Then, he retrieves a laptop with a charger and places it in front of Dr. Wong. Meanwhile, Fire opens the black bag to find 6 stacks of cash. 100 bills of $100 banded together, making $10000 per stack and totalling $60000. Fire takes one stack then returns the bag to Spectrum. Fire then pockets twenty bills and puts the rest on the table.

"This won't be needed." Fire says as he looks through the wallet. It was a perfect fake driver's license with one problem, it had his 63-year-old face as the picture.

"Oh right." Spectrum says, "We will need new IDs."

"One yard at a time." Fire says as he tucks his phone into a pocket.

"What is our itinerary?" Dr. Wong asks, then says, "I want to run routine physicals for the team."

"We could do those before noon." Fire says, "The President wants a conference call at 1 pm."

"Hopefully, the couples will be done with all their sexing." Spectrum says as he zips up the bag.

Dr. Wong and Fire chuckle in response. These men were the only bachelors on the team after all. While Fire and Dr. Wong got to have peace of mind in a shared accommodation, Spectrum was stuck fifth wheeling to two vastly different couples under the same roof.

"I will require time to set up." Dr. Wong says, "Let's do the examinations at 10.30 am."

"Alright. Sinclair is probably waiting." Fire says, then turns to Spectrum, "Ready when you are."

"Alright, Chief." Spectrum says as he grasps Fire's left shoulder, "Hang on."

Fire and Spectrum orient themselves in a North East direction. A light surrounds the duo. Then with a flash, both seemingly disappear. Less than a second later, both men are now surrounded by trees. A few feet away, cars drive on a highway.
