The Forgotten Phoenix

Chapter 10: Death by Glamor

Date: April, 22, 2016

Aiden stands in an airport getting on his private jet whilst inside Damian sits inside the cockpit with Crystal leaving Aiden to make sure that everything else is prepared and ready to go.

"Hey Raynere, since your not doing anything go and make sure that the cargo is safe down bellow." Aiden says strapping down several bags.

"Why?" She glances to him.

"It's a very fragile piece of equipment and we need to make sure it's secure."

"Well, what is it so I should know what to look for?"

Enya scoffs lowering her shades. "I'll go with you because I know what it is."

Aiden sighs watching the pair walk off leaving Aiden to finish ensuring nothing launches into the air. "Alright. Hey Damian how long until take off?"

Damian shouts from the cockpit "About twenty to thirty minutes. Why?"

Aiden sighs. "Nothing, just needed to know how long Enya and Raynere have before they need to be back up here."

"And where are they now?" Crystal asks exiting the cockpit.

"Currently they are making sure that "that" is safely secured."

"'That'?"

Damian sighs. "I would recommend not letting it worry you."

"By the way Aiden. Is she...?"

"Pregnant? Yes. But on the bright side at least that means I can have an excuse to leave her to watch the hotel when we get to Kuoh."

Crystal smirks "Think she's mad about it?"

"Yes." Damian says opening a newspaper.

"Probably." Aiden shrugs.

As the trio continue to talk, Enya and Raynere walk towards a coffin like crate that has a page on it. Raynere looks at the page before looking towards Enya in shock. "You actually plan to-"

"Hush. Azazel said to. Despite the fact that I am very much against anymore women joining. We can't exactly say no to Azazel considering he pays us big for taking you guys in from time to time."

"From time to time?"

"Yeah we had to take in someone else before you but, he didn't exactly show signs of change, tried to attack us, Head got blown to bits."

Raynere gulps. "Okay, but why her?"

"Again, personally I'd have left you to die at the hands of Star and/or Gremory."

"Then why am I here?"

"Again, I can't stress this enough, Azazel."

"Fuck."

Enya checks the straps before pulling hard on one. "Come on it's secure." Enya sighs.

"Ok then?" Raynare says following Enya.

Later once in the air Aiden is seated while on his laptop with a sleeping Enya on his arm her head leaned on his shoulder as Raynere is sitting on the other side of the plane drinking some wine, Crystal is in the cockpit with Damian who's playing sudoku as she pulls out a children's coloring book.

Damian glances over to her. "A children's coloring book?"

"Yeah. You got a problem with a children's coloring book?"

"No. no. It's just I don't expect it from you. Aiden? Yes I would, but only because he's the type of guy to shoot up a building and walk out saying he saw a chicken shit. You, not so much."
