Stella surveyed the scene. It seemed hopeless. Broken gyro-plane, vindictive ex-boyfriend, monkey-loving evil genius, surrounded by Chinese-assault-rifle-toting flying simians, and an unconscious pilot - well all things considered that last one was probably a plus. She needed a Plan, and *fast*. Thinking of her own pilot made her wonder how Garth had gotten here. She knew he couldn't fly a gyro-copter if it was on auto-pilot. _Some bounty hunter_ she thought, but where *was* his plane? Dr. Monroe broke her train of thought. &quot;_Stand close together, you lovebirds so I can dispatch you both_&quot;. He laughed his horrible laugh again. Stella moved over to Garth her hand finding his. This was no time for old grudges. _where your plane_ she signed using efficient kellersigns they were so familiar with. _behind us invisible latest model_ he signed back. _braggart lets get out_. He spun her around and they fell into the sand. They were rolling until they hit the plane. A hatch opened and closed. They were safe. 2008-05-18T18:12:35Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/30492 <p>Can&#8217;t wait for the sequel.

Loved the ridiculous summary at the beginning, your writing style, just about everything about it! Great work here.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30492?basename=62897 2008-05-17T02:20:44Z YodaOnCrack http://ficlets.com/authors/yodaoncrack <p>Nice escape via an invisible plane, love the recap in opening paragraph.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30492?basename=62347 2008-05-14T22:39:26Z SKermitgorf http://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorf <p>I have to agree with thebetweenspaces, this piece IS absurdly fun!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30492?basename=62267 2008-05-14T16:19:32Z KevMullins http://ficlets.com/authors/kevmullins <p>Well done I don&#8217;t know which I enjoyed more her assessment of the situation or the use of kellersigns to communicate. And the invisible plane fits with the fun, absurdity of the series so far.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30492?basename=62258 2008-05-14T15:06:08Z thebetweenspace http://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace
