It was a beautiful Tuesday morning. The sun was shining down on the world below, taking out the bitterness in the winter air just enough that I could sit outside to work without getting chilled. There were birds singing in the tree next to me, friends and couples chatting at the tables around me, and a steaming cup of coffee at my side. It couldn't have been a more perfect day.
Then the Razgriz happened...
Or should I say their kids. Well, technically it was one of their friends but still...
It all started when a guy took a seat at my table with me. He wore aviator sunglasses, a brown leather jacket, combat boots, and carried nothing on him but a phone.
"You're Brett Thompson right?" he asked.
"Depends on who's asking," I countered.
"I'm friends with the Razgriz Legacies. We need your help."
"Pardon me, but do you know how many people are after the Razgriz right now? For all I know, you could be an enemy of theirs."

"Here, FaceTime that number. Use the headphones." The stranger slid over his phone and the headphones. I picked them up and with fair amount of suspicion, dialed the number. I was greeted by the faces of Shiloh and Lux with the latter shouting, "Put down the grenade launcher!"
"Hi Mr. Thompson!" Shiloh greeted. Lux turned to face the camera.
"Do I want to know what's going on?" I queried warily.
"Well you kind of do considering we're about to ask you a massive, massive favor. Long story short, the Gray Men are back and you've probably heard that we've been declared traitors to Osea. Well, that's not true first of all. Second of all, our parents don't know about what we've gotten ourselves into. And third, you can trust the guy with you. His name is Markus Adler. He's on our side."
"Where are you guys?"
"For the sake of our safety, we can't tell you that. But we need your help. You in?" Lux asked.
"If it means taking down those guys, I'm all in. What do you need?"
"The schematics of our parents' planes."
"Why- why do you need those?"
"Reasons," the girls responded simultaneously.
"Reasons crucial to us helping our parents and the world," Shiloh added.
