In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 26):

The duo decided to quickly wrap things up and there was no conclusion to the Keiko discussion.

Ann and Keiko return and rather than talk and are possibly late back from lunch ...  the quartet snack on 'unhealthy' snacks and discuss a particular 50s Z grade sci fi 'classic'.

Some kids who live nearby are listening to music which includes X Gonna Give It to Ya by DMX as used in Deadpool [I].

The film features Deadpool, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead slow walking to a short bit of that song ... and the 6 currently on-site hub crew members emulate the heroes.

[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HWZnkeL4QMc ]

The PCs[s] get back on chain gang so speak and talk quick about what's probably left on today's job list ... and several long chuckles are made by and heard by folks.

Terry looks at his bud-dy once Keiko 'flitters' off 'I'm surprised Ann hasn't twisted your arm to make Keiko a full partner today which I'm guess she'll pass on in general."

Terry shrugged ...

Keiko could next be seen talking to Ann checking on parts on the 'floor'.

Keiko said "Odd thing .. maybe .. but I bought a Negasonic Teenage Warhead suit last month.
And on that topic ... a young maternal third cousin of mine said I was expletive hot and learned he shouldn't swear .. "

Keiko chuckled.

She laughed heartily ...

Adam looked at his bud, Terry for a long minute then asked,"Why would I ask Keiko to be my partner of my company? This is my company, made by my money, so no partners needed. Besides she has only worked for me for a week. We would have to be dating for months and be engaged and fixing to get married before I would bring her on as a partner."

He smiled as he heard Keiko laugh

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 28):

Terry looked 'faux perturbed' "Let's back up .. forget promoting anyone for the moment.  Gah .. we all have Keiko on our brains 24/7 ... Uhm boss .. I propose we close shop and all the employees hit a say comic shop or something .. or wait on that and have meetings the rest of the day. And we'll use our team bonding machines [aka air hockey, pool etc tables]."

Terry holds out a walkie talkie that is not live and looks oh so innocent for no reason.

Adam looked down at his desk and shook his head,"We have too much work that has got to get done today for us to take off early and I have to call it an early night so no air hockey I have to get up at the ass crack of dawn to fly some folks out to Houston tomorrow so I will be gone all day. And when I come back I'll do the flight report and  the plane can be checked out the next morning. Y'all can take off after we get the plane back inside."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 30):

Terry saluted and went away .. and Adam was called by him a minute later ...

Terry said on his side of the phone connection "Did you want Keiko along in case you need ...  before you say anything ... hear me out ... Keiko can fly a few aircraft and learned first aid ... and you could use less weight on your flight. Oh yeah .. I allow you to Gibbs me so I'll focus less on our new mechanic."

Keiko got her jobs done and asked for an hours' over time so things could be double checked and her period had slowed her down.

Adam thought for a moment,"Hmmm, you know didn't think k about having a co-pilot with me just in case I get tired or something happens to me and God forbid there has to be an emergency landing. Yeah I'll talk to her about it."

When Keiko asked about the overtime Adam said,"You know I have an at the butt crack of dawn early flight tomorrow and can you s co-pilot if you would like to tag along.  I figure after we land and I get it in one of the bays for refueling we can get a bite to eat. There are several of restaurants in walking distance to the private airstrip we are going to be landing, and I hate to eat alone. And yes you can have an extra day today if you want it, I will be here til 6. And I'll pick you up at 6 in the morning so we can get everything ready to leave. How does this sound?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 32):

Adam cursed out Terry in his head. He thought that "'Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli' had arranged a cushy day at the airfield and he weaseled out of the job."

Keiko okayed the adventure and assured Adam only had to give her the 'Official Newman Air Jr. Birdman jewelry' as the basic uniforms were well basic.

Keiko suggested a night at Chez Newman so the duo could not be wasting waste time around six am.

Keiko called and asked if one of her Jr. Birdman Gear could be 'undug' by one of her bros and the mom [cuz speakerphone] said the gear a casual outfit would be spit polished at the Forster home and delivered to the Neuman place ASAP.

The mom sent a pic of 'Flying Keiko' with slightly longer one-color hair to Adam.

Adam shook his head,"That's ok thanks for the offer but I sleep better in my king size memory foam bed. With my memory foam pillow."He smiled at her.


"You look cute in the pic. I'll text you at 5 til 5 when I'm headed your way, pick you up at 5 get to the Hub at 530 to do a check and then we get a quick bite at 6 and leave at 7. I'm on a schedule."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 34):

Keiko .. amazingly ... did not blush this time.... and she went home until 2am - ish. Adam was thanked AGAIN for a compliment from him.

Adam pulled up into the last hanger and they got out and he locked the bus. He handed her uniform and bag to her. Go change in your office then do a once over see how she looks make sure she doesn't need any fluids then come join me for breakfast. I'll be in my office."

He left Keiko to do what she needed to do while he went to his office, slipped off his boots and then just slipped his coveralls over his clothes and put his combat boots on he put his other boots in his bag and sat down at his desk and drank on his 4th cup of coffee and waited on Keiko.

In reply to Keiko Forster (msg # 35):

Our dynamic duo don't drive as much as much Adam planned  ....

Keiko matter-of-factly said to Adam that he didn't need to hear her hair is critiqued and added to a list used by a biotch to rate the airline as piss poor. Normally mundane peeps needed a little bit o purple in their miserable lives.

Keiko fixed her minimal amount of Make-up that she had on, made sure her uni hugged every curve [possible another after ratings loser] then went through her preflight list and put a fresh fruit basket on the plane.

There a tween girl who threw tantrums ...

And let us not forget the soda machine vendor at the hub who was not a hub employee ...

Terry waited for that lady to catch flack for something anyways ............

Adam heard the scream of a female and he jumped up and ran outside and there he saw a teenager walking around outside and he prayed she wasn't part of the clients flying out this morning.

The vending machine guy tapped Adam on the shoulder and asked,"Mr. Newman could you sign this?" Adam took the inventory sheet and looked at what was ordered and what was brought, " Follow me to my office and I'll cut you a check."

The two men walked to Adam's office, where Adam told the guy to take a seat. That's when the guy screwed up.
"So that chic out there. Are you two an item or something? Or are ya just banging up or are you and Terry passing her back and forth? Mind if I can get in on some of that action?'
The guy laughed.

Adam looked over the guy's shoulder and saw Keiko,"Who my new mechanic? No we are not an item. No I'm not banging her. Hell no Terry and I are not passi g her back and forth and too answer your last question...hell fucking no. Now take your check and the HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE SND YOUR FUCKING FIRED! AND I WILL BE CALLING JACK ABOUT THIS!'
The shit up out of his chair, so did Adam, but Adam had a baseball bat in his hand.

Adam glared at the guy as the guy was bowed up but so was Adam to the point you can see his muscles popping through his uniform.

"Tell me are feeling lucky. I dare ya, just tell me."
 As the guy scrambled to leave the office you can see Adam right behind him carrying his bat, he stands in front of the hanger door until the guy completely leaves them tossed the bat in the air like baseball players do and catching it, he walked back in his office and sat back down and waited for Keiko so they could eat.
Adam poured himself another cup of coffee, this being his 5th and 6th cup, it's a bigger cup, and sipped on it while watching the early morning news.

Keiko entered Adams office with a cold and large 'good' tea infuser cup in hand and said "Adam, I'm ready to fly like an Eagle and head off to Dallas."

Adam laughed,"Well that's all fine and dandy but we are heading to Houston. Now eat a quick bite."
He reached in his drawer and handed her a midsized box,"Here it's for you."
When she opened it it's a pair of Aviator Shades.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 41):

Keiko was know in the cockpit actually giving a successful tour. Her accent is a hit with a well-behaved trio of late teen boys who are smitten with their tourguide ... ten minutes earlier the boys were eyballing. etc Keiko.

Keiko is forced to distract Adam who was whispering stuff to her so he wouldn't do something that'll cost jobs ...she wore a shades/safety strap combo ... and her hat ...

The parents and their fit throw tween sister walked into Adams office. He informed Keiko to bring the little gentleman back out so they can board with their parents. No civilians allowed on the plane without attending personal.

He stood up, looked in his coffee cup and was a little sad he was out, and the coffee pot was empty.
"Dr and Mrs Carter it is so good to finally see the face with the voice. We are all ready to go if you fine folks are." He flashed his pearly whites to them, which in turn shows that they can trust him. They mention there is a slight delay that their three sons are missing. Adam told them that they have been in good hands, that hs Co-pilot took them on a tour of the plane because they were a little scared.
Mrs. Carter shook her head and said,"Oh thank you so much, they are scared of flying but we have a wedding to attend and their car is in the shop, and you just don't drive in Houston traffic. And I want to thank your Co-pilot too."

The three boys and Keiko walked in.
"Dr.and Mrs Carter this is my Co-pilot Keiko Forster. I was just telling these fine young men's parents that they were scared and you were trying to help them."
Mrs Carter took Keiko's hand and pulled her into a hug, then said Thank you so much for being there for my boys when I couldn't be."  (Well when your tween is throwing a temper tantrum then it goes down hill after that.)

In reply to Keiko Forster (msg # 42):

Keiko manages to take mrs C.'s hug in stride .. a handshake probably would have better iho.

Keiko goes through the a few seconds of the offical safety procedures and then launches into her own ..

She was asked about her speech pattern just before the plane's engines began....

She said politely "My immediate male relations talk like midwestern Americans stereotypically do, my mother speaks in a professional Japanese tone,.. prior to my fifth birthday we all lived in London and I latched onto a posh manner of speaking.

After the put your ass in your seat and put your fracking seat belt on and no smoking on the plane and no there is no food but you can have a bottle of water or Ginger Ale routine is given Adam is given permission to take off.
He waits until Keiko is in her seat and they drive down the run way as he begins to pull the nose up they are in the air he brings the landing gear up he makes an announcement.
"Well folks we are now headed to Houston and will arrive in the private air strip in 3 hours and 13 minutes. Enjoy your flight and your in flight music."
He flipped on some soft jazz , smiled at Keiko then concentrated on flying the plane...

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 45):

After a drive to the hub, Keiko got dressed in her office in boots and a light set of work clothes.

When all ready, Keiko hugged and kissed Adam in the office.

Adam's head was released by Keiko's feminine hands and he was then smiled at for a few moments.
n
Keiko smirked and then softly said "Spose I should earn my paycheck."

Keiko looked very serious and the duo rolled her tool chest out to the work area ...

And the work began ...

Soon, Keiko was done with her double check on her work.

Then Adam disentangled himself from his paperwork and Keiko waited for her boss to sign off on the job. She wished the sign off was a passionate kiss but permaybehaps that would happen later ...

Keiko idly looked at the part's pile for her next job AGAIN when Adam appeared to be done with his inspection ...
This message was last edited by the player at 13:34, Mon 22 May 2023.

Adam went over the inspection with a fine tooth comb and then signed off on it saying,"I did find anything wrong with it, hell I didn't even find any access grease showing that you did any work like Terry leaves that makes the engine smoke after it's started. Very good, I knew it was a good idea hiring you."

He took the paper work and gave her a copy for her files and he kept the original one for his files.
"Make sure you file that under the plane name and model number. Iim gonna be a few extra minutes, I've gotta call and see if we got the bid on the new business I was talking about earlier." He missed Keiko's forehead and rushed back to his office. He can be seen pouring himself a cup of coffee then sitting back behind his desk.
He made his call and was on the phone for 30 minutes but ended the call with a smile.
He pulled out his phone and texted Keiko,'Hey sweety I got the bid. It means they will house their planes here with us and you and Terry will be in charge of maintenance. I was asked to fly the planes when it was necessary. I agreed to it for an extra $10,000. And he agreed. If you are through I am ready to go celebrate I just made a $510,000 deal. And I am splitting the $10,000 between you and Terry.  And don't say no.lol I'll be right out. I gotta call my accountant real quick.' Adam sent the text then made his call to his accountant to give him a heads up about the money coming in and splitting the $10,000 between Keiko and Terry.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 47):

Keiko texted back Thank you kindly, boss. I appreciate your glowing report .. and the kiss in the truck.

In forty-five minutes, Keiko filed the job 'under the plane name and model number' and her tools were put away. She wrote some notes so she would be ready for her next work day. She also got cleaned up and dressed casually so as not to excite Adam.

When the duo was ready to head out the hub was closed up properly.

She smiled and said "We should probably talk about my grandmother's announcement and snuggle which in itself is a form of Netflix .. after we call folks."

Out in the truck Keiko pulled out a brand new WWI Snoopy backpack from a duffle bag with a few Snoopy flight & astronaut themed funkos in it [which had been shipped to the hub] ..

She said "Happy early or is it belated birthday?"

Adam blushed,"Oh wow thank you. My birthday is actually tomorrow. I haven't even made any plans other than going to work and  maybe cutting out early and come home to grill a steak and potatoes maybe buy a cake or cupcakes and that's about it. I wouldn't be surprised if my folks don't forget. The kids will call me, they always do but...I don't know I've never had anyone in my life around my birthday that gave a damn. Thank you. I love it." He leaned over and kissed Keiko then started up his truck and headed to his Ranch.
Next post at Adams ranch

Adam and Keiko come roaring into the parking lot of Adam's Aviation Hub and came to a complete stop right in front of the main office. He grabbed his backpack that Keiko just bought him for his birthday and ran around to help Keiko out.

He was giving her a kiss in his office when Terry barged in and stopped cold in his tracks.

Adam stopped the kiss abruptly and looked at Terry,"Ever learn how to knock on a door?"

Terry stuttered and stammered then shook his head,"Sorry boss,a  Mr.Calhoun...Jason Calhoun...he said you two briefly talked yesterday...well he called for you about 5 minutes ago, he had questions about how long it will take to build more hangers so he can get his planes moved here."

Adam nodded,"Ok I'll call him, thanks."
Terry shut the door and Adam looked at Keiko,"Ok imma gonna get to work, see you at lunch."

He made a pot of coffee after anything Keiko said before she left, then sat down at his desk and made the call back.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 50):

Keiko laced up her boots after ditching her slippers ..

She muttered something about getting a job where she could wear comfy non skid shoes one of these days and punched in ..

During her first 15 min. break Adam was reminded about dinner and the time and asked if there will be a full team meeting about the kiss at lunch.

Keiko also texted out a reminder about the secret party to the others ...

She began to work again ..

Adam shook his head,"Nah Terry came in here and asked me about the kiss and I told him that we were a couple and he seemed extremely happy about it  and we are closing down for lunch, Terry and his wife are taking us to Clear springs Bar b cue for lunch and they are paying so I'm getting a peach cobbler too." He laughed then said," Come to think about it...there probably will be a discussion about it at lunch. Damn he's an evil genius."

He downed his 8th cup of coffee and grinned,"I got the Calhoun account taken care of that's 2 new accounts. I've hired some guys to come in and build us more hangars I getting 10 more built. Plus 3 personal ones for my planes out beside the office.  And it's up to you if you want to go back to work or not after lunch. We could always grab a movie...you know like a real date...we can even have Terry and his wife join us and make it a double date. I mean we gotta get out and date we can't just sit at the ranch all the time and watch tv, put puzzles together, play board games,  go swimming or ride horses all the time. I mean that's dstesbe stuff but I want to go out and be seen with the most beautiful woman and in the world and have every ma jealous because you are with me and every ean jealous because I with you. I the luckiest guy in the world and I want people to know it. I'm not ashamed of you or our relationship I want people to know we are a couple and if I could put it in the newspaper under current events...I would. So think about the movies and the possibility of it being a double date."
