From: Catherine Disclaimer: HB owns Rachel and Doug and the farm and Zin...everything else everyone else. I'm making no money. Archivers: sure, that also goes for the first part Category: Ang./Past Government Letter Understanding this letter: Basically this is right after Rachel’s letter and is addressed to her parents. Since I don’t know exactly what a government letter is like, I’ll make it up J Also I’m not sure how you spell her maiden name so like before I made it up. I don’t think the series ever said whose side of the family Doug Wildey came from and if they did I am saying for this series he was Rachel’s father. A little history on Rachel’s family. Rachel had two older siblings, one older sister who was killed in a car accident roughly two years ago at the age of thirty-six; and she also had a older brother who was in essence her guardian angel. He always gave each guy she dated the ‘third-degree’ and disliked Dr. Benton Quest at first until he got past the fact it was his younger sister the good pre-med. student was dating. Her brother, William (or Bill to family and friends) has himself two children both girls, one the same age as Jonny (Karen) and one who is sixteen (Ashley). The sixteen year old daughter considered Rachel to be her best friend and like a mother—the two were closer than anyone the young girl had ever been with anyone. Rachel’s mother, Diane Marie, has been at home most of her life as a house wife. Her father, Doug, spent his career as an engineer for an international company who worked on computers and other such inventions. About five years ago her father went into retirement and moved to the family farm in the western part of Texas. To Mr. and Mrs. Doug Wildey, It saddens me to inform you that Rachel Quest has been murdered while on assignment in the jungles of South America. Unfortunately the offender/offenders who did the act, escaped before we were able to capture him/them. We know the man behind the act was Dr. E. Zin who is an international terrorist, and ex-government worker. Since this act was on a government agent and that said agent was on official business you can be assured that we will have every available agent on the search for this madman. On a personal note, when I was informed of this information I was outraged and shocked. I have arranged for a year’s salary to go to you which should arrive shortly after this letter for the funeral arrangements which will be handled by her husband Dr. Quest. With this money you should be able to bring the entire family to the ceremony and help in any way you wish. You have my deepest thoughts and prayers in the time of need. Sincerely, Gen. Thomas Grames After the letter: Obviously both Diane and Doug were grief stricken with the loss of their daughter, but all thought that Bill took it worse since he considered it his duty to watch over her since he failed with their other sister. As a result Diane and Doug concentrated on Bill and made an pact that they would see their grandson at least once a year in order to see their daughter live through him. Ashley who was returning from a trip was not only grief-sticken but went into a deep depression. As she watched her father go more into a depression, she began to loose control of the world around her. As a result, Ashley Wildey died two weeks after this letter was received. She was killed in an automobile accident, on the anniversary of her aunt’s death. The irony behind the accident is that she was coming back from a suicide attempt. After driving to a bridge over a creek (forty stories) she thought about both of her fallen aunts and refused to leave life quitting; she then decided to return home and throw away for ‘good-bye’ letter before her family (mainly her father) found it…only the young girl never made it that far. Notes: As I was writing the letter from the general the more it sounded less ‘official’ but if you had just lost a friend would you sound ‘official’? I know I wouldn’t so that explains why the letter is more personal. ************************* Questions, Comments, Flames....send 'em to teeling1@yahoo.com == Have a rose: @>----(>>>>><)(in a vase) Catherine a.k.a Mad Cat One Official Fic Commentor Guardian Angel of Iolous's sense of honor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Have you visited our new web site? http://www.onelist.com Onelist: Helping to create Internet communities From: Catherine 3/29 Disclaimer: same as before I only own the general. Category: there really isn't one Archivers: be my guest :) Race's Letter of Reassignment: Understanding the Letter: This letter is probably the mist straight forward letter so far in the series. Race Bannon has just returned (about a month ago) from a mission in the southern division of France where he was recovering documents on the various countries and their weapon supply. He is currently in his ‘prime’ at the CIA, although he will continue to be their best agent even after the reassignment. Roger "Race" Bannon, It has been brought to my attention that you recently finished a mission, successfully, in the southern region of France near the Mediterranean. This is an official notice of your reassignment. You are being assigned as a bodyguard for the phenominoligist Dr. Benton Quest and his young son Jonathan Quest. You may or may not be aware of the recent loss of Dr. Quest’s wife, Rachel. The briefing on the attack is as so: Dr. Zin (as he calls himself) was funding research in the jungle areas of South America and was rumored to be in the area of where Dr. Quest and young Jonathan were. We, the US government, hired Dr. Rachel Quest to assist with the understanding of new plant-life which were being taken by Zin and his men. As she arrived, Dr. R. Quest was kidnapped and killed by Zin. We fear that with the recent events danger will be around Dr. Quest and his son. Another fear we have is the need for Dr. Quest to be traveling to other countries. It has been decided by higher authorities that because of your success in the field that you should be reassigned to live with Dr. Benton Quest and a bodyguard for both man and child. The time on this assignment is undetermined and will involve constant guard against any visitor taking into account any chance of danger. Highest Regards, Gen. Thomas Grames After the letter: The reaction of Race Bannon to this letter is a mix of feelings. He has just ended his marriage to Estelle Velasquez. The divorce left her with full custody of their daughter. This provided Mr. Bannon with the good feelings, but he still was unsure of his reassignment. ************************ Comments, questions, flames?
