Chapter Six.
Alison waited for her father at the airport. As usual the flight was late. She was pacing behind the bar leading to the baggage claim with the rest of the people who were waiting to meet up with their loved ones or business associates. Even with her military clearance, she still couldn’t get past the security system that they have since nine eleven hit eight years back. She looked at the arrival gates to see that the plane had finally came in an hour later then it should have arrived. She will be able to see her father shortly, as soon as the passengers headed to the baggage claim to claim their luggage.
It was about twenty minutes later, before she saw her father riding down the escalator to the baggage claim, already the bags were being dumped onto the conveyor belt and people were checking the tags to find their bags. Alison’s father smiled and waved before he found his small bag and grabbed it before heading off towards the exit. The security guard there checked his baggage claim ticket to the ticket on his bag before letting him go.
“Alison!” her father said, as he hugged her once he got away from the line. “How are you?”
"Daddy," Alison exclaimed. "I'm doing well, how about you?"
“Oh, the usual, so tell me about what caused you to finally kick that man out of your life?” asked her father, as they walked out into the loading area and towards the parking lot.
“He cheated on me with another woman who is now pregnant with his baby. I got suspicious of his constant running off during the weekends and so placed a tracker in his hat and found him out by following him as he went to meet with his mistress and saw him kissing her and it wasn’t a friendly kiss either, but a full on lip kiss. I took several photos of her and him together to shove in his face to make sure that he knew he was caught. I showed it to him that afternoon when he returned to base and told him that it was over. He tried to win me back and nearly succeeded too if it wasn’t for his mistress deciding to call me to bug me about that she was bedding my man down and was going to have his baby. I finally dumped him after that. I’m now dating another member of the team by the handle of Wild Bill. He is by far more better man then Flint was,” Alison informed her father, as they neared her car.
"I remember you telling me about him. I'll be the judge of his character." Her father, Albert Burnett said as they got to her car.
Alison smiled. “You will see him at dinner tonight, dad. He’ll be with us tonight.”
“Good, I want to meet this new man in your life,” Albert replied.
Alison climbed into the driver's seat. The drive to her home was pretty uneventful. She watched her father’s face as he took note of the apartment that she had in town. He was impressed by it as he knew she was a simple woman when it came to living on her own. They entered the apartment and Alison took her father to his room after showing him around the apartment itself.
“Good place you have, Alison. You got this place when you dumped Flint, right?” asked Albert.
“Yes, it was a place where I could escape him for the weekend.” Alison replied, as she got out couple glasses from her cabinet. “Do you want some water or some tea, dad?”
“Water is just fine,” Albert replied, hearing the sounds of the faucet running.
Pretty soon, she came out with two glasses of water in hand. They sat in her living room and talked about various things that happened back at home. They laughed as they caught up. She had truly missed her father as he did. They talked for hours before getting ready for tonight’s dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~
That evening, Alison and her father got dressed up to go to Caniglia's with Wild Bill when he came in wearing a fancier cowboy shirt and pants and his trademark hat and a bouquet of orange roses. He gave Alison a kiss on the lips before walking into the living room to meeting Alison’s father.
“Mr. Burnett, a pleasure to meet you. I’m William S. Hardy, otherwise known as Wild Bill on base,” William said, as he extended his hand to him.
Albert Burnett looked Wild Bill up and down. "Why do you think you're good enough for my baby girl?"
“Well, for one thing, I treat her like a woman and I am very considerate to her feelings. I make her laugh which I really do love about her and I can bring a smile on her lips. I make her feel like she was the most important thing in my life . . . which she happens to be as I love her very much and the most important thing is I am not that asshole Flint, I will not cheat on her ever, I would die first before I would do that.” William replied, never looking away from Albert as he spoke.
"You claim you love her, after dating her for little more than a week?" Albert's gaze never faltered.
“Yes, sir, I loved her for much longer then that. I watched how Flint treated her and knew she deserved someone better then that loser,” William said, not looking away from him.
"Are you saying you stalked her?" Albert asked.
“Dad, he’s not a stalker!” Alison cried out, shocked that he would ask that of him.
“No, sir, I watched her as she would come into the recreation room after being yelled at by Flint and see how sad she was. It was Flint who stalked her. He would call her up in the middle of a known girls night out just to find out where she was located at and who she was with every five minutes and if she turned off her cell phone, he would appear at the location and harass her there and her friends till she got fed up and ended the girls night out and head back to base with him. And it would usually be couple of hours with her friends before he would harass her back to base. He didn’t love her; he stalked and harassed her even on the base itself. If he was stuck in his office with paper work, he would call her to find out where she was at on the base. But he just didn’t do it with just Lady Jaye; he did it to anyone who he thought should remain on alert, even in their sleep. There is a very thick file on Flint from most of the members at the base about him and a few other people civilians who he harassed as well. I promised Alison that I would never be like Flint on the first day we started to date as I would die before I do that.” William replied, calmly even though the question did anger him but he knew he was just questioning him to see if he was worthy of dating her.
Albert seemed to be contemplating it. He took his hand in a firm shake. "It is a pleasure to meet you." He smiled at Wild Bill who had a questioning look on his face. "You want to know how you passed so easily," Wild Bill nodded. "You didn't get furious at anything I asked you. You took it in stride. Not like the last guy who shall remain nameless."
“Well, my dad always taught me to take everything in stride, never get angry unless it was warranted and even then don’t lose your cool,” William replied, as he looked at the clock. “We best be off as the reservations was for 1900 hours . . . I mean 7pm,”
Alison and her father nodded as they headed downstairs. “Bill, can your jeep handle all three of us?”
“Well, look what I rented for the night, Alison. Tonight, you will be going there in style,” Bill smiled as the driver held the door open and they climbed into the vehicle and sat down within it.
Three hours later, all three of them came from the restaurant smiling and very stuffed; Alison had wrapped her arm around William’s arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. Bill just smiled as they walked back to the limo. “We had another great meal at a great restaurant. I am so thrilled that this place opened up. He who cannot be named wouldn’t even think that this place was a something good as it is a little pricey but the food is so worth it.”
Albert nodded. “This place is really good and would be on the low end back in Martha’s Vineyard but people would be coming back as the food was excellent, never had I had hot wings that tasty before. They were just barely pulled away from the bone; you had to apply just enough pressure to get the meat off. But the filet mignon was delicious and very tender.”
“Not at all overcooked like most places would, they cooked it to what you had asked for, dad.” Alison replied.
"Yes I had a wonderful time." Albert said, noting with a smile the interactions between her daughter and her new beau. He knew this new man in his daughter’s life would be good for her as he never seen her so smiley before, with that other man, she was frowning most of the time. He liked this new man a great deal especially after watching them dance on the dance floor, William gave as much as he took on the dance floor, he was a great dancer.
They went back to the apartment and even though Albert knew what could happen if he stepped out of the apartment for the night, it was time for them to take the next step in their relationship. Albert looked at them as they sat on the couch, holding hands and just gazing into each other’s eyes. “I think I will go rent a room at the local hotel for couple of days and a night, if you two love birds don’t mind,”
“Dad, why?” asked Alison, turning away from William.
“Well, you two don’t need an old man listening in now do you?” he said with a smile, as he grabbed his bag and headed for the door. “Now be sure to practice safe sex.” And he was out the door.
Bill turned to look at her. “Did he just say what I think he just said?”
“Yes, and I see his point. And my answer is yes, Bill,” Alison said, as she reached up and kissed him on the lips while unbuttoning his shirt.
“Well, Miss Alison, you are a hot filly,” He moaned between kisses, while being pushed towards her room. He finally lifted her up into his arms and carried her off to bed.
~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, Alison woke up feeling the warmth of another in her bed and glanced over half expecting to see Flint there instead of Wild Bill but there was Bill sound asleep with his arm around her waist. She never felt that satisfied sexually then she did with any other man. He was perfect and he gave as much pleasure as he took. It was not like Flint who took more then he gave when they had made love. William was a perfect lover. She laid there looking at him. A smile spread across her face. She knew deep in her heart that she truly loved this man.
Bill woke up to see Alison looking at him. “Morning beautiful,”
“Morning, Bill.” Alison whispered, before giving him a kiss on the lips.
He pulled away and looked at her as he ran his hand through her hair. “How in the world did I get lucky in getting such a beautiful filly like you in my life?”
Her cheek blushed. "Oh stop it."
“I’m serious, Alison. I am still shocked that I got a beautiful filly like you in my life, no one would believe me that I took you out on a date that first night till you came into the recreation room and asked me in front of the guys if I was interested in dating me. After you left, they were thrilled for you and me as they all knew that it was really over between you and Flint,” William said.
“I should have kicked him to the curb much sooner then I did,” Alison replied, as she sat up in bed.
“You didn’t know that he was still cheating on you even after he supposedly dumped his mistress,” William said, as he leaned on his side looking at her.
“I should have kept on following him after that day to be sure that he was still cheating even after he said he dumped her,” Alison replied.
“Well, as they say hindsight is 20/20. You didn’t know he would return to her a few days later,” William said. “He thought he was being nonchalant about how he went about seeing her, like you really didn’t matter to him at all.”
“Well, now he can worry about her for all I care. He is not any of my concern anymore, its hers as soon as she’s huge with his kid, he’ll be off chasing another skirt looking for a hole to poke, Angela will be feeling the same feeling I felt when I found out that he cheated on me, thank God, he didn’t get me with child! I would have killed him then let him live!” Alison snapped, as she looked at William.
Wild Bill caressed her soft cheek. "You never have to worry about that with me. If I ever get you pregnant I would stand by you 100%."
“You would?” asked Alison.
“Yes, ma’am, my dad didn’t raise a cowboy to abandon his pregnant mare for no one, only death will make that happen and I don’t intend on abandoning you if you ever got pregnant. I would get a ring and ask you to be my woman for life, Alison.” William replied.
Tears welled in her eyes. It was more then what Dash would do as he told her if he got her pregnant that he would pay for the abortion as being pregnant in their line of work isn’t good. “That is so much more then what ‘he’ would do, as he would pay for the abortion and I’m pro-choice, if the woman wants the abortion she can have it,”
“I can see his point in having an abortion as if we were still fighting Cobra . . . which we are just not knowing when they would strike next, having one of our top members pregnant and out of battle is a bad idea and ending the pregnancy is a better option then having a miscarriage in the middle of battle or them causing it.” William said. “But Cobra would take notice of the missing member and know something was up.”
“But with their own missing members, I doubt that a member of our team would seem out of whack,” Alison replied.
“That is true . . . Waitaminute, did you say their own missing members?” asked William.
“Yes, the Twins are no longer working for Cobra and it seems that Destro and the Baroness are looking to split Cobra too. Seems that they were not paying the Twins for services rendered for more then one year and about five years back they quit.” Alison informed him.
“So all those times that Flint would come into the recreation room to rally his little followers to go bug the Twins, they were harassing former terrorists?” asked William.
“Yes, and they have reported these harassments to Hawk. Don’t tell anyone that I told you this Bill . . . but if Flint does it again, Hawk will be filing discharge papers on Flint,” Alison whispered to him.
William looked at her shocked. “As in honorable or dishonorable, Alison,”
“Dishonorable, William, none of his little gang will be discharged either just Flint since he is doing the most of the harassments of the twins and the secretaries when the twins aren’t there for Flint to bug,” Alison replied.
“Good, he deserves that and more. He’ll flip his lid reading that paper, because it means that he will not be able to get any military benefits from the army at all.” William said, with a smile.
“And that is good, how?” asked Alison, as they dressed for the day.
“Because whatever joint or body pains he has or injuries he had sustained in battle over the years will not be covered by the military anymore. He’ll be paying for it out of his own pocket and with a civilian doctor instead of a military doctor like Doc or Lifeline.” William said.
“Oh, he will so not like that. When he gets sick, he’s a whiney little brat who wants to be babied by me,” Alison replied.
“Well, he can whine all he wants with Angela babying him now,” William chuckled.
“Yeah, she’ll probably not even give him the chance to start whining and tell him to shut up and get some sleep if he’s not feeling well and stay away from her,” Alison replied. “But she probably doesn’t know that he’s whining just to get attention from her when he’s sick. Maybe I should warn her about it?”
“I wouldn’t after all; he is none of your concern anymore, Alison. He’s not your boyfriend anymore,” William said, as they started to make breakfast.
Alison stopped whisking the eggs to look at him. “You know, that is right. He is not my boyfriend anymore and none of my concern any longer, she’s his concern now.”
William nodded as he put more bread into the toaster and pushed down on the lever.
About ten minutes later, they were finishing up their breakfast before heading back to base together. Everyone who saw them smiled as they knew Alison was happier with Wild Bill then with Flint.
~~~~~~~~
William headed off towards his area as Lady Jaye went to see Duke to see if he had called Flint yet for any updates from him. “Any updates from Flint?”
“Not yet, I’m giving him time to get there. I’ll be calling him tonight and start the drain on his cell phone,” Duke replied.
"Alright," Jaye said smiling.
"I take it your birthday went well?" Duke asked watching her.
"Yes it was fantastic." Jaye said beaming. "By the way, thanks for the chocolates."
“Thought you would like them, that sweet shop Naughty but sweet is a God send for chocolate fanatics like myself and Shana.” Duke smiled.
“I never thought of you as being a lover of chocolate, Duke.” Lady Jaye said, beaming a huge smile at him.
“Well, it does wonders in the way of spicing up the bedroom.” Duke chuckled. Knowing that Naughty but sweet shop also sold body chocolate for lovers. And he had asked the girl what body chocolate was and she told him in a low whisper. Duke bought it right then and there as Shana was a lover of chocolate and anything to do with chocolate she would love.
Lady Jaye looked at the clock and took note of the time. “I guess it is about time to get the call in to Flint.”
Duke nodded and picked up the phone and dialed Flint’s number.
“Dash, speaking.”
“Dash, Conrad, have you landed in the location yet?”
“I have and will be meeting up with the man who saw the ‘ghosts’ as the information file stated.” Flint said.
“Good, be sure to take your time with him and get all the information that you can get from him before you go to where he saw them with him. Okay?”
“I read you, Conrad. Can I ask you for a favor?” Flint asked.
“Sure,”
“Give the present I gave you the day I left to Lady Jaye on Valentine’s Day. Okay?” Flint said.
“Okay,” Duke said, as he picked up a small box on the cabinet and threw it into the trash. But Jaye grabbed it out of the trash and opened it to find a diamond ring. She mouthed the words what the heck, as she read the note that was within the ring box. “So Dash why the box?”
“It is something that I should have done many months ago. I should have asked Alison to be my wife before I left.” Flint replied.
“Dash, you lost her. I doubt this ring will return her to you,” Duke said.
“I know but I want Alison back. I realized that I was stupid and was only listening to my dick; I want her back in my life, Conrad. You can understand that, don’t you?” Flint said.
“Dash, she dumped you for cheating on her. She is not a woman who takes to a cheating man very well; you saw how she took it. She dumped you as soon as you were found out as cheating on her. I doubt she will ever take you back,” Duke said.
“Just be sure to give her the box okay, Conrad?” Dash said.
“I will,” Duke replied, before hanging up the phone with Dash. “Are you going to keep it, Alison?”
“Keep it, no, I won’t keep this diamond from him, I’ll put it in the pawn shop and get some money back and spend the money on my car, like he would do to me all the time.” Alison replied, putting the ring back in the box and into her purse. “And if Flint asks if I said yes or no to it, I’ll tell him flat out, I sold it to the pawn shop and spent the money on my car and the answer is no, Dash.”
"Why don't you just go and get a new car?" Duke asked her. "I'm worried about your current car, one day it is going to break down in some really nasty part of town."
“No, the diamond ring might not even get me enough to get me a new car, I may use the money to get some new tires on that thing,” Alison said, as she got up. “I think I will go sell the ring to the pawn shop now and go get the tires on and see if dad wants to go out to lunch with me somewhere.”
"Yes, you go do that. You do have the week off. You don't need to come in to base." Duke told her.
Alison smiled as she hugged him and headed out of the door.
Shana looked at her boyfriend, wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled. “You know you made her day, Conrad.”
“Yes, I know. I talked it out with Hawk and he suggested that to me. She needs some time to herself now,” Conrad replied, before he gave her a kiss on the lips.
She pulled away and smiled. “I better let you get back to work. I’ll see you later for dinner?”
“Sure,” Duke smiled, as he watched his girlfriend walk out of his office. He waited till the door was closed before he opened a desk drawer and pulled out a rich blue velvety ring box. ‘Tonight, my sweet Shana, tonight, I will do what I should have done myself many months ago,’
~~~~~~~~
Alison met up with her dad at the Ford Dealership in town, for some reason he had called her from there telling her that he wanted her to come there as soon as possible. She didn’t understand as she parked her car in the customer parking lot and walked towards her father who was standing with a dealer. “Hi dad,”
“Alison, pick any car or truck you want from here and it’s yours,” Albert said.
Alison looked at him shocked. “You mean any vehicle?”
“Yes and Happy Birthday, sweetie, it is high time you ditch that old car and get a new one that works really good,” Albert replied.
Alison screeched and hugged her father. "Oh daddy, I love you so much, thank you!"
They started looking around at the vehicles. It took them an hour before they found the vehicle that Alison wanted, it was a Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT, in red with gray leather seats and it had everything she ever could dream a vehicle could have. She was overjoyed with it as she looked at the dealer and spoke the words he loved to hear as she sat in the driver’s seat. “I’ll take it right now.”
“I’ll get the paper work for the vehicle right now,” He hurried off to his office to get the contract pulled up and everything printed off. This was by far the most easiest sale he had to date and it was all thanks to the woman’s father.
Alison and her father entered the shop and went to the dealer’s office and there she signed her name to the title papers and used her cell phone to call her insurance company to transfer her insurance over to the new vehicle as soon as possible.
“So what do you want done with the other car?” asked the dealer.
“It is about to die, probably sell it for scrap metal or just send it to the auto graveyard; it is barely able to stay on without a fight. It’s not even good for a beginner’s car. There is too much work to be done to it to get it in good shape again, to be a cheap car anymore.” Alison replied.
“So tow it to the auto graveyard and have them buy it then?” asked the dealer.
“Yes, and you can keep what money they buy it for. It has no use to me anymore.” Alison said.
“Alright, just get what you need out of it and I’ll have one of my boys take to the local auto graveyard and sell it to them,” the dealer stated.
“Okay, there’s not much I want from it anyways,” Alison responded, as she got out of her chair and started to leave the office.
“There is couple of things you need for you new truck, your keys and your paper work of ownership.” He said, as he held out the folder which contained the paper work and the keys to the vehicle.
Alison smiled, as she watched her father sign the check which made the purchase of her new vehicle complete. “Thank you,”
Albert looked at Alison. “Shall we go now?”
Alison nodded as they went to her new truck and removed the sticker from the window and headed for the driver’s seat and drove it off the lot and into traffic and towards the license bureau where she bought the license plate and the tags for her new vehicle. She placed the plates in the window and started to head for base with her dad. “I’ll get the tools to put my plates on my truck when I get there.” Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the pawn shop, she quickly turned on her right turn blinker and turned into the shop’s parking lot.
“What are we doing here?” Albert asked.
“Got to sell a ring, dad,” Alison replied, as she turned her truck off and grabbed her purse and got out of the truck and headed inside. About ten minutes later, she came out not very happy. She was fuming about something.
“Alison?” Albert asked.
“That asshole didn’t even buy a real fucking diamond to propose marriage to me!” Snapped Alison.
“Who?”
“That asshole Flint, he thought he could win me back by asking me to marry him. But when I took the diamond ring in there and he took a look at it and started to laugh, it turned out that Flint was so cheap he bought a glass ring that looked like a diamond to propose marriage to me. It was practically worthless. Maybe five dollars at least I could get from it, I gave it to the man as it was no use to me or worth anything at all.” Alison growled off.
“I always knew that man was a cheap man, not really wanting to spend his money on the person he loves beyond himself and his vehicle.” Albert replied, as they drove down the road towards the base.
When they got to the base, Alison went to the garage tool kit and got a screwdriver and placed her new plates on her truck making it very legal before it was really needed to be plated. She looked at her new license plate and smiled before replacing the screwdriver into the tool kit once more and headed into the building with her father to visit with Duke who she informed him that the ring that Flint gave to him to give to her was nothing more then a glass ring, a worthless ring. Duke was not at all too surprise by it as he knew that Flint really was a cheap man when it came to things. Alison and her father returned to her truck and drove back to town and spent the rest of week talking and visiting the places there before she took him back to the airport and watched him go back home.
