Moon Glow Chapter 77
Gunfire rang out across the expanse and everyone in the dune buggy ducked. Coming in from the west, a second helicopter darted by between the dune buggy and the first helicopter. The helicopter changed its angle to get a better shot at the new intruder. “Okay. We have their attention. Put that pedal to the floor and get to the mountain. I am not sure how long I can hold them off.” It was Taji. He had used his helicopter as a distraction to give them time to get to the mountain. Amaris did not remember any of those helicopters having weapons on them. Lyle took off sprinting the dune buggy in the direction of safety. Taji swung his helicopter around to reveal two of the men that he had brought with him. They were holding a large machine gun in place. It was the kind that was meant to be mounted to the deck but clearly they had not had time. As they fired at the enemy helicopter the gun bucked and the men strained to hold it in place and aim at their target. Their attempt went wide of

Amaris gave a sigh of relief. From the little she knew about Lyle, she knew that he had been very close to his father. While she had never seen the watch before she knew it must hold a lot of sentimental value for him. Taji spread out on the table and everyone gathered around him to watch him work. He laid out his tools with care. He picked up the watch and examined it. He took out the jeweler’s loop and looked more closely at the outside of the watch. Taji put his hands down, turned quickly and shot a quizzical look at Lyle. He then went back to inspecting the watch. “Where did your father get this watch?” Taji asked turning to Lyle once again. “My father returned from a business trip and he had gotten it. It was always very special to him. He was never without it. When I got older he made it clear that I was to inherit the watch and my brother to inherit the coat of arms that was made specially for our family. He brought that back with him from that same trip also. “ Lyle had now m

The three walked together out across the hanger floor and around the helicopters that she had seen earlier. They crossed completely to the other side of the hanger, to a door that Amaris had not noticed before. Walking out into yet another stone hallway, they met up with the rest of the group who were already wearing their haversacks. Amaris released Anna’s hand with a smile and walked over to where Lyle was standing waiting for her. He had very gentlemanly swung both haversacks on, one over each shoulder. “Let’s get moving. We have taken the tracker out of Lyle's watch and disabled it. They will know now that we found it, but I am sure that they are gathering ground support, as we speak, to come back here as quickly as possible. We need to be gone before they arrive. Taji your men will also bug out shortly.” Taji nodded and stepped back to speak into his watch. He walked back to the group a few seconds later. Christos turned and walked down the hallway which ended in a do

Amaris snuggled into Lyle's shoulder and stared out the window on the opposite side of the train car. The underground lights and the stone flew by at an amazing speed. She had not noticed until that moment that they had been moving so fast. The island was small. If they kept up this pace, they would be at the opposite side in no time. Looking over at the rest of the group, Amaris noticed that they were deep in conversation. She nudged Lyle and motioned for him to follow her over to the group. Lyle and Amaris walked over and sat with the others. Anna and Taji turned and smiled at them in greeting, but no one else acknowledged their prescence. Marco and Christos seemed to be in a deep discussion while Jason was furiously typing on his phone. “We will get to my grandmothers’ cottage and hunker down there. Since we are no longer being tracked, we may actually get time to compare notes and figure a few things out.” Christos said to the group. “We are going to need to go on the offensive a

The inside was surprisingly like an ordinary house. They were in an entry foyer that had a marble floor with a mosaic design in it. It was a design that at first glance looked like an olive branch with a large number of leaves. Once you walked closer, the scene changed and it took on the shape of a wolf's head with green eyes peering through the foliage. The eyes were so realistic from that point of view, it unnerved Amaris. It felt like the wolf was really watching you. Christos paid no attention to the foyer and moved through the room quickly, having been there many times in his youth. The rest of the group followed single file Amaris was almost the last to leave. Lyle was still there and again he seemed to sense her feeling of being unnerved and put his arm around her shoulder and steared her away from the mosaic and out of the room. Once she was out of the room, Amaris felt better. Christos had led the group into a very comfortable looking living room with a large sto

Anna bounded forward and ran her hand down the marble counter along the wall. The three center islands were all stainless steel, but each one was set up as a station for making different types of things. One was clearly for meats, the middle one for vegetables, and the far one was for desserts. "Oh Taji will love this!" Anna spun around in a circle with a big grin on her face. "I am glad you approve." Christos said with an appreciative grin. The pantry is through that door over there. It has been well stocked. Do not use anything from this fridge or the freezers." He pointed to a big cabinet next to him. The girls agreed and Christos left to go get the others settled. "What do you want to make?" Anna asked looking like she was ready to sprint laps around the kitchen. Amaris walked toward the pantry door, Anna right behind her. She opened it up and both their faces fell. It was stocked floor to ceiling with MREs. "Really!" Anna exclaimed in disgust. "Don't these guy

Lyle and Amaris pulled stools over to the counter next to where Anna sat. Each of them grabbed up a bowl of stew and began to eat in silence. When everyone was done Amaris collected the dishes and began to wash them in the sink. Lyle got up. Looking for something to do he walked over to the stove and started the ketlle. "You look like you could use another cup of tea." He said to Anna, taking her cup from her as she finished the last dregs. "Amaris would you like one?" Lyle said as he began to move across the kitchen to the counter where the box of tea bags sat. He looked like he was moving in a daze, just looking for something to keep busy. Without waiting for an answer he opened the supboard and took out 2 more mugs. He continued to busy himself.Amaris finished washing the dishes lost in her own thoughts. Now that Anna was clearly out of danger and they were back to normal, Amaris realized that she could feel strong emotions coming from Lyle. A profound sense of sadness

The control room was a series of monitors and keyboard stations that had surveylance from all the cameras on the property, but also from other cameras in places that Amaris recognized from around the island. Marco, Taji, and Jason were there, but no Christos. They were all seated at different workstations. They had turned around to see who had just walked into the room. "Anna is going to stay with you guys now that she is feeling a little warmer." Lyle said to them as the girls walked into the room. Taji spun his chair around the rest of the way, and opened his arms. Anna went to him and he sat her on his lap like a little kid. Taji wrapped his arms around her and then spun them around in the chair like a merry-go-round. Anna let out a giggle and started yelling for him to stop or she would get sick. Lyle reached down and took Amaris' hand. Without another word, turned and walked out of the room. Marco stared after them worried. Lyle walked Amaris back the way that the
