With the plan already in motion Kei, Chandi and 'Vok needed only to find the transportation to go pick up their wayward teammate. The three set out from the main house along one of the winding paths that led away from it. Eventually coming up over a small rise to see a helipad.
"Where do they get all these wonderful toys?" 'Vok said with a grin as he eyed the helicopter and the small jet. They were both US Military issue, it was pretty easy to tell. The helicopter had the marking of a UH-60 Blackhawk. Although it had been seriously modified into a sleeker, more stealthy type of copter.
The jet even modified, stood out. The rubbed out markings on the F-117 Stealth Nighthawk and the fresh paint job made them all realize maybe they were dealing with something here they hadn't thought of. They knew Val Cooper had no way in hell of procuring THIS type of aircraft, much less have the modifications done to it. So exactly who was their mysterious benefactor after all?
It took the group only a split second to figure out the quickest way to get De would be the jet. Once inside, Stray sat down in the pilot's seat and marvelled for just a moment at all the modifications. This thing made a Quinjet look like a paper airplane.
"Oh my god! It's got a cloaking device!" her eyes widened in shock, then a smile of satisfaction. Simply because, she was going to get to fly it.
"Hold on." she told Shift as he took the co-pilot's seat and Burst the jumpseat behind him.
Firefly had already gotten out of the water when she heard the whirling of the engines and felt the ground begin to shake.
"They've found the jet!" she called out to Lionheart over the noise and after a second, a sonic boom as the jet streaked away.
"Ah guess they've either found De, or decide ta hit Japan without us."
The couple made their way back into the main house, drying off as they went. The first place they headed was into the computer bay where Firefly hit a series of buttons and instantly the jet's flight pattern was being shown. Picking up a small headset mic, she put it on and spoke into it.
"Tell me ya've found De... Jetfuel ain't cheap."
Lionheart stood by and listened for a few moments, until he heard Vicki barking from the living room. Deciding Firefly had things in hand, he went to go check out her noisey annoying dog.
What he found however, wasn't what he expected.
On the sofa, facing away from him, was a man. Apparently sound asleep, dressed in a black suit and trenchcoat, his brown hair mussed as he muttered something and started to snore again.
Cameron tried for a few moments to wake the guy up, but no avail. He finally scooted Vicki out of the room and headed back upstairs to the computer area.
"Ask them if they let anyone in before they left? Otherwise, we need to find out who this guy sleeping on our sofa is." Cameron took a seat and propped his feet up on a console. At AJ's look of "You're kidding." he only shook his head and nodded it back towards the door.
"That's why the dog was having a hissy. Someone's been sleepin in her bed."
