RAPID FIRE RECAP

C HARLIE AND PRETA ARE half-sisters, and share a widowed father, U.S. Army Major General Gerard Sol.

Charlie used to be a spy.

(Sorry... Always wanted to say that.)

Bad guys put pressure on her and her dad when they wrongly imprisoned civilian Preta.

Charlie gets herself thrown in the clink too as a last-ditch effort to save her sister, and undergoes the same torture as all the sorry occupants of the orbital space prisonship, The Concord. As you might recall, this is no regular prison. She and Preta undergo cruel experimentation that will alter them forever.

The prisonship crashes on an alien planetchaos ensues, ugly, scary, shrieking killer creatures called the Akrena go shriek! shriek! attacking the survivors, and the sisters are forced to split up.

An Akrena chases Charlie to the water, where she is forcefully invited under the sea by a mischievous kleptomaniac alien who she falls hopelessly in love withalong with his three hot housemates.

Meanwhile, Pretas on the run with the guard who knocked her up, and when they are accosted by a group of ship survivors, they get rescued by a trio of tree dragons who can turn into men, and these aliens keep her from starving by using creative meansand yeah! Of course she falls in love with them too.

At the end of their stories, the sisters are both growing heavily pregnant, limiting their ability to travel, but they are searching for a way to send a message to their father to let him know they are safe & happy. During one of these forays, they come upon Charlies dog tags on the ground near the body of a dead womandog tags shed left around the neck of their dad.

*Gasp!*

Somehow, Gerard Sol made it to Sonhadra.

This is Daddy Sols story ;D

ONE

G ERARD

Where the fuck are my girls?

My eyes narrowed and my tongue ran over my teeth as I seethed. Standing here, trying to act like the good soldier Id been all my adult life...

I was having a hard time keeping my composure while I stood on the outside of the pristine labs observation glass and watched a young female being carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Conscious. Awake, but numbed. Disgusting.

Captain Taylor glanced over at me. Experiments are coming along well.

Robotically, I nodded.

Honestly, I just wanted to raze this fucking place to the ground.

The mini bone saw drilled into the inmates lowest rib.

Zzzzzz , it went.

I suddenly have a hankering for lasagna, the prison doctor said to his assistant while he hacked away. How about you, Clark?

The fuckers laughed.

Were they joking about their dinner while they cut up my girls?

I clenched my fists behind my back. The knuckles popped so loudly I heard it over the grating, high-pitched sound of the saw.

General Davisa real cuntpurposefully sent me here, knowing my daughters were inmates, to oversee the progress of the experiments being conducted on the IPS Concord.

Human experiments.

Experiments that shouldnt be happening. Procedures I didnt know about, and activities not privy to the world.

Illegal on all levels.

I couldnt refuse without bringing suspicion. I was a model Major General, loyal to his country, no matter the costeven if it meant my family got run over because they broke the law.

The fucked up circumstances didnt matter. The plan was to keep up the act until my girls were smuggled planetside, healthy, whole, and free under assumed identities, then I would join them.

My loyalty died when the government I served my whole life didnt protect Preta and turned on Charlie. Fuck them.

Bright crimson arterial blood squirted from the females flayed chest, splashing across the assistantsClarkswhite coat.

The inmates bloodshot eyes widened, and she moaned, tears leaking from the corners and sliding into her dark hair.

Whoops! the doctor chuckled. Nicked an artery!

The asshole didnt seem to be in a rush to fix it either.

I wanted to wring his fucking neck. All I could think about were my girls. What experiments had they undergone? Charlie had only been up here a weekI watched her leave Earth in that armored shuttle, cuffedbut Preta, my baby, had been here for six months.

Six goddamn months.

Had these bastards cut her open? Sliced and diced her like a roll of sushi?

The inmates eyelids fluttered, her gushing artery weakening with every stitch Clark weaved, but it was too late. Her head lolled and the machines loud, harrowing beep shrieked through the room.

She flatlined. Dead and useless to them now.

I turned on my heel and left the lab, Taylor at my back.

My feet pounded the floor with every heavy step my tall frame took. Cells holding orange-clad inmates were to my left and my right, guards in crisp black uniforms patrolling, pausing to straighten and salute me.

I ignored the fuckers. My patience was paper thin and ready to crumble at the slightest provocation. The last thing I wanted to do was look one of these scumbags in the eye.

I didnt respect them, and I didnt give two shits if they respected me.

It was taking a considerable amount of willpower to keep away from Alpha podwhere I knew my girls were. Had to bide my time, let the plan Charlie, Jamieher ex-handlerand I worked out have a chance.
