Steele's Fifty Shades Darker **Book 2** (Completed)

Chapter 8

Anabelle Steele

The next morning I told Christiansen that I will be flying to Portland for a meeting there. So I gave him a long heartfelt kiss as I left with Taylor as we drove off to go and fetch Ros at Steele House then drove all the way to Boeing Field. I went through all the pre-flight checks and Taylor and Ros got in and strapped in. I radioed into Sea-Tac control center and they gave me the go ahead. I took to the skies and the three of us flew off to Portland. The sun just came up and is painting the sky in warm orange and red colors. Just past the halfway mark in our flight, I notice that there is something wrong with my steering but I managed with all my strength to keep it in a straight line and then later put all of us safely down on the heliport, in Portland.

'Taylor.'

'Ma'am.'

'Someone must have tampered with Charlie Tango's wiring because there is seriously something wrong with it's steering and I know it was perfect the last time I flew her. Get a team on it.'

'Yes, ma'am. I will also give Welch a call to look at the surveillance footage that is in Charlie Tango's hanger.'

'Thank you, Taylor.'

'I guess we will be taking the car back to Seattle then.'

'Yes, I don't want to risk our lives flying her again before she is fixed.'

'Of course ma'am. I'll get a team to drive her back to Boeing Field.'

'Great work.' I said then joined Ros where she is waiting for us. The three of us walked down to where our car was waiting for us. We got in and Taylor drove us to our meeting place. We greeted the faculty and we all sat around a large table where they will be serving us breakfast. The faculty started to discuss with us what they wanted to do and wanted to officially apologize for what happened earlier this year with our research and want to get up and running again. We told them they first have to win our trust back before we can even consider investing in their project.

Ros nod at me when I spoke for my company. I just think it is reasonable to first get the lost trust back before I push more money into their school. The dean of the university listened to us and nod his head at me then said; 'give us four months to win back your trust Miss Steel, and if you still don't want to invest in our projects then fair is fair we'll call it quits.'

'Very well. Four months, you better perform Professor Kensington.' I told the dean as I finish my plate. I glance over to Taylor and he was very busy on his phone. After our meeting, I told Ros what happened to Charlie Tango and she was so shocked. Taylor walked up to me and told us what Welch has found footage. According to Welch, it was Jackie Hyde that broke into Charlie Tango's hanger and just ripped a bunch of electrical cord out of there place at the bottom of the helicopter. Great now her as well. I can't take any more shit. I gave Welch a call after Taylor gave us the news.

'Welch.'

'Steele. Taylor just told me about your findings, great work.'

'Thank you, ma'am. I notified the police as well ma'am and they put out an APB for her arrest and tampering of private property as well as breaking and entering.'

'Good. Any news on Sam yet?'

'He left his apartment an hour ago and I have tracked him in the Pike Market doing some shopping. Through the surveillance cameras, they have there.'

'Wonderful keep me posted.'

'Of course ma'am. I have given an order to a team to go and sweep Mr. Grey's old apartment before his friend returns later today before Sam might break in to do some real harm.'
