            She didn't find Thor, but she found Lachlan, Darwin, Thilda, Yindi, Lowanna and baby Kalinda.

            Yindi and Lowanna refused to come back with her. Dez was going to be excited to know that a lot of aboriginals were alive and thriving. They were not even weird out to see what she can do or to hear there are aliens.

            They were just content with their lives the way they were.

            Lachlan and Darwin were more than ready to get back to normal life. They were brothers who have been living in an airport for the last year. They had everything they needed except for electric, but more than anything they were ready to get rid of the stowaway they'd picked up.

            Matilda Thomas-Williams. Aka spoil rich brat extraordinaire. Within two minutes of meeting her, the girl ordered Dra and Herndomit to pack her bags because she was coming with them. Jess was ordered to fetch her a drink.

            No wonder the boys didn't care where they came from. They just wanted free of the bossiest girl alive.

            "Hey, Ritz, can you hear me?" She closed her eyes and concentrated on the young girl.

            She supposed she could just ask Dez to contact her, but this way seemed familiar to her. Like she's been doing it for years, even though this is the first time she's tried it.

            "At your beck and call, how may I help you? My Queen." The last came after a long pause.

            "I need to talk to Adrian."

            "I thought you weren't ready to embrace who you are? I have to show up to the meetings and you don't? That kind of irks me. My Queen."

            "You can stop calling me that."

            "Technically, I can't. My Queen."

            "Can you feel what I'm feeling?"

            "That must be someone else's department. Are you in danger?"

            "Ritz? Jess?" Adrian's voice was suddenly in her head.

            "I'm not in danger. Adrian, can you feel what I'm feeling?"

            "I can. You're close to one of us. I'd say no more than twenty or thirty miles.  Can you find them?"

             "I'm not sure, but I will try. You're the finder, so I might have to come get you."

            "Try to.  If I'm needed, I will come. This one is close. Except I feel that way no matter how far I travel."

            "You will find her when the time is right." Jess tried to reassure him.

            "So, I will. You are well, Jess? I've been worried about you."

            "I'm getting there."

            "No one asked, but I'm doing okay. If you think classes all day, meetings, and a bunch of people in my head is okay." Ritz's voice was dry and only held a tad of humor.

            Adrian's sweet laughter could be heard in her head.

           Jess turned to her guards. "Boys, we are taking them with us." Jess turned to spoiled ass. "If you want to bring it, I suggest you pack it. They aren't doing it for you. We leave in fifteen."
