Adam has decided to spruce up an airfield that is a few miles outside of Tyler.

He called around and called in a favor his family was owed.

His father has a friend who has a daughter  that is a mechanical genius.Her parents Eric,an American  married Sukio Yukero, Japanese. The daughter's name is Keiko. She has dual citizenship and went to private school in England where she picked up an accent. Keiko is going to help Adam out for a few months at least.

Adam is now waiting for Keiko to arrive so they can get started on his business venture.

In reply to Super Narrator (msg # 1):

Keiko is an attractive 22 year old japanese / caucasian woman who is 5'8" and weighs 106 lbs. She stepped down from her Ford 650 which had a tool chest lashed to the bed.

She is wearing a light-colored jumpsuit and a well-used Frisco, TX RoughRiders baseball cap. She buzzed the bell at the security gate and looked to see if anyone is  anywhere. She then dialed Adam's cell and ided herself.

The lady's short, spiked hair was once all dark black ... it is currently partly light purple.

She then guzzled the contents of a Pixie Stix, received a big rush and shivered.

Adam then noted at that moment that the Asian woman had an old two-inch scar on her right cheek and had spoken with a posh brit accent ....

She then 'tore into' a breakfast sandwich.

Adam came out of his office then one of the hangers.
Adam is 6 foot, muscular, tanned, wearing Levi's, a pair of worn out boots,goat ropers, an Texas A&M Aggie t-shirt, as he walked out he put on a Texas A&M cap on.

He took the sucker out of his mouth and flashed her a smile and said,"Hi I'm Adam Newman, and welcome to Adam's Aviation Hub. I'm guessing you are Keiko?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 3):

Keiko smiled "Yes, I am Keiko Forster. Is your preference to be called by your first name? If so then hello, Adam. Uhm where should I unload my gear?"

"Yes you can call me Adam. And you can stow your gear in the mechanics office. I'll show you where it is."

The two walk back into the main hanger where the office is kept. Adam's personal plane was there.
They walked past it and you can read on it the words 'THE RAVEN BEAUTY' she was sleek and pure black and shiny and the words were in white block letters.

He took her to her office/ mechanics office.
"Here ya go." He showed her where the walkie talkies were and tells her,"In case you are in one of the other hangers, and if you can't reach me by the radios, call my cell." He leaned against the desk,"Any questions?"

In reply to Keiko Forster (msg # 4):

In almost no time, Keiko's gear was stored and Adam was given an extra key.

Keiko spent hours training and was shown all the safety stuff. etc., paperwork was done .

At six, Keiko stripped out of her work gear and changed into street clothes after she cleaned up nicely and looked feminine.

She smiled at Adam and said "So I did pass HALs tests and I can legally work my dainty hands to the bone, Boss?"

Adam thought ashe seen her in street clothes (she cleans up well...maybe I should ask her for a celebratory drink and meal?)



Adam handed her the keys to the front door of the main office, to the doors to the other 3 hangers then smiled at her comment about her dainty hands.

"I've seen your work, dainty hands or not...your good and I want to welcome you to the team. How about we go out for a celebratory beer and steak? Unless you have plans. Which you probably do. So we can get together some other time if you like."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 7):

Keiko smiled at Adam and said "Hold that thought. I'm texting the mom that I'll be home late or I'll find a hotel room."

She made two texts and while doing that said to him "I live in a quote summer house near my parents Tyler property."

She smiled and looked up at Adam "Let's close up shop fully and mosey on outta here. I noted that our houses are near each other's, and we can eat steak near one of them."

She suddenly snapped her fingers and went into her office and used the bathroom in there.

Meanwhile, Terry [a male employee] stepped up to Adam "I know you wanted to show Keiko full closing procedures unless you closed up the rest of the buildings except for alarms .... but I had to go over to a few of the outer buildings. By the by, one of the FedEx people took note of Keiko's scar and she civilly explained what happened. Odds are your head won't be ripped off if you ask her about the scar."

Keiko returned to the fold...

"Thanks Terry see you in the morning." He had already locked up his office and the main office waiting on her.

He faced her,"Well I guess you can follow me to my Ranch and I can throw a couple of steak on the grill I might even have some shrimp I can throw on there too and we can throw back a beer while we wait for the grill to heat up or we can just go to Out Back and we can get a Blooming Onion for our app of choice. Soo it's up to you where do you prefer to go? My feelings won't get hurt either way."

Adam pulled up with a bag from Burger King and a coffee from Starbucks he goes in through the main office to his, turns on the lights and sits at his desk and eats breakfast as he thinks about the past few hours.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 11):

The next day Keiko enters work and checks on her new boss as he got his fast food spread out.

She frowned as she noted the use of too much perfume iho .. her make up is understated ...

She said ' Hi, Boss. I was going to force you to have an edible breakfast.' to Adam ....

She looked over his office and stifled a yawn ... She said " Do I get my job list from Terry or you or is it on my desk or hanging on my door? "



THIS day was linked to Ollie and sally returning ....

Adam looked up from his chicken sandwich he swallowed his bite and smiled.
"Hey there Chicka. Actually you get you schedule from Audriana, I make them out and she types them up, brings them to me for final approval then she puts them in your inbox."

He took a sip of his drink then said,"I don't know if I told you but I had a blast at your place last night. Playing cards then dominos was so much fun. And I was terrified when your dad took me into his study to talk to me. We had cigars and brandy and it was a good talk and he told me that I'm allowed to come over again. That made me feel good ,"

 "And uhm." He flashed her his dazzling smile and his twinkling eyes then said,"You look very nice today."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 13):

Keiko smiled and was handed her printed marching orders by Adam.

And after thinking over what she read she said to Adam "It was nice having someone other than my family visiting my living area. And thank you for your compliment about looking nice this morning. By the by I think said family were happy to meet you. Ted said I could tell you passed whatever test he and Kev he had administered on the QT." She smiled at the cigar memory and switched gears "Great that my dad and you bonded yesterday. Did you want to talk tonight with me over brandy and cigars?"

And she wasn't a 24/7/365 smoker but ...

Adam smiled,"I'm really not a smoker, that's why I have the suckers. But your dad offered and I wasn't about to turn him down when this meeting meant so much to everything in the future. I'm just glad they said that the debt was paid in full since you saved my life. And we can go to dinner if you would like but no need for cigar and brandy. I liked your brothers both were pretty cool. Just wait until you meet my sibs. One is emo goth the other is gay. But I love them both no matter what." He offered her half of his chicken sandwich he had delivered from Chilis Restaurant so she had an excuse to stay in his office just a bit longer.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 15):

Keiko nibbled and then checked her first planned job again.

When able to speak clearly again said "Glad to know you gents and *the mom* hit it off  .. and in case you hadn't guessed my family is very protective of their quote lotus blossom. So glad that term of endearment was thought better of when I earned my first kung fu black belt."

[which was 11[?] per *the mom*]

Terry called Adam and mentioned a potential client who stopped in for info but seemed to be more interested in Keiko's F650  .. ie the 'large gas-guzzling pick-up truck which was under tarps.'

[F650s officially get fifteen miles per gallon in the city and 20 mpg on the highway ... rumors were that Keiko had tweaked the truck]

Terry didn't discuss the truck with the lady who was certain the owner was 'a nutty Republican'.

[Karl had assured Adam of the fact the Forster's were all Democrats].

When Karl informed Adam that his family were Democrats Adam was a little taken back, he thought all rich people and people with good sense were Republicans but he didn't say anything to him because he learned a long time ago not to discuss politics.

He looked at Keiko,"Are you selling your big bear out there?"That is what he has come to call her big truck, with her being so small.

He grinned when he thought of her delicate flower name. It suits her. He whispered to himself but she could probably still be heard,'Lotus Blossom.'

"So you are a Kung Fu Mistress huh?" He winked at her.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 17):

Keiko ordered up the likely parts that will be needed for her first three job if she ever stopped 'hiding out' then countered with ...

"My truck is imho the preferable size to haul my tools and other stuff around .. while some moneyed folks might think that a feminine five-foot seven rich jap bitch that probably got scarred on her face whilst getting stoned while dirty dancing with her boy toy might imagine that I drive my pals and our beer kegs carefully around East Texas."

Keiko finished the sandwich and waited for Adam commentary .. and yes her spiel was slow and thought out. She slightly smiled ..

She had earned her bottle of water and drank some ..

Adam made a oh damn face then said it,"Oh Damn! Tell me how you really feel about it. Damn girl. You got lots of moxie...I like that in a g...woman."

He threw his trash away, went to his bathroom and washed his face and hands them brushed his teeth real quick. He smiled at Keiko,"Sorry, it's a habit to brush after each meal."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 19):

Keiko left to do her job and any answers Adam hoping for would be at least be delayed until later ... five jobs in total got done [2 by Terry and Keiko each and they worked together on one]

At lunchtime Ann took Keiko to a nearby restaurant where alcohol didn't pass the ladies lips.

Terry and Adam went al fresco ...

Terry looked over at Adar and passed him half of the Ann-Made lunch which was planned

Terry look over at the boss and gasp said "We'll need to discuss Miss Forster officially today  .. you scheduled it when you learned you were getting sone random woman coming in Monday that your dad suggested. We were nervous that she wouldn't gel when you got her CV only. Grant suggested not to ask for one."

Terry said "I'm mumbling ... what did you think of the casual version of Keiko."

"Ok let's discuss our Miss Forster, yes I accepted my dad's recommendation because he gave me a lot of info on her and I admit I ended up googling her to see all of her accomplishments before I gave my dad the go ahead to have it arranged for her to start. I wouldn't have hired just sone Joe Shmoe off the street without looking them up first. You should know me better than that Terry. We have been friends since Kindergarten, I'm no dummy, I don't want some Green Horn working on the planes that I fly. I think...by seeing the work that she has done so far and reading your notes, she is exceptional and an asset to the company."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 21):

Terry looked intenty at his longtime friend "Does ADAM wish to discuss KEIKO Forester or will ANN have to wait until things slowly develop? Oh, I did find out about her scar via a newspaper search online and it twas public but nothing embarrasing, in theory."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 23):

Adams eyes lit up,"Oh you did? What happened to her?  I mean you know." He cleared his throat, "I have noticed she has a scar but I didn't ask her I thought she might be uncomfortable about it."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 23):

Terry stage whispered "There was a épée duel with padded live blades which went wrong when one blade suddenly became live accidentally. Keiko was defending a female classmate's honor whom wasn't the swordswoman the mouthy third classmate was. Keiko stepped in to quote help ... and viola. Keiko may not want talk about the matter but I'm certain she has no issue with it."

.................

NOTES:

1.)  A modern épée, of size 5, for use by adult fencers has a blade that measures 90 cm (35 in) from the guard to the tip. The total weight of the weapon ready for use is less than 770g (27 oz), with most competition weapons being much lighter, weighing 300–450g (11–16 oz).

2.) While the modern sport of fencing has three weapons — foil, épée, and sabre, each a separate event — the épée is the only one in which the entire body is the valid target area (the others are restricted to varying areas above the waist). The épée is the heaviest of the three modern fencing weapons. As with all fencing disciplines, fencing matches with the épée require concentration, accuracy, and speed. Since the entire body is a target, a successful épée fencer must be able to anticipate the opponent's moves and strike the opponent at the correct time.

[ Mike note: ]

3.) These days a lot of non-Super Villains probably use electric shocks to simulate épées targeting an opponent ...

Adam smiled,"Looks like she is always helping people, defender of the underdog. Well I hope she whipped his ass after he cut her face like he did. I bet she whipped up on him like white on rice. But you know...it doesn't effect her confidence in anything that she does...and she is still beautiful."
