Case of the Twins

By D. E. Harrison

Why does the FBI ask Inspector Strong to provide two people to babysit two witnesses for three-days?
Detective Rage and patrolman Jones are volunteered for the job. The FBI has a leak and uses several decoy cars to leapfrog until the witnesses are delivered. Rage and Jones ride the bus to the University and begin the car jumping. Jones knifes the passenger in the first car and Rage removes the driver. Several cars later the witnesses are in the back seat. A set of blond twin teenage girls.
Rage’s first action is to redress them at the Goodwill thrifty store in an unusual manner. From there to a motel in a seedy part of town to hole up in for three days.

At the motel, an unusual event happens, Jones almost yells, “Stop her, she is taking all her clothes off!” They were too slow. Eventually, this ends up with Rage being tossed up into the ceiling.
They leave the motel three days later in Rage’s jeep and go up Snoqualmie pass to meet with the FBI. They are attached by rockets from an airplane, they are searched for by satellites, and even the FBI wonders where they are. Rage uses her special phone to call a Colonel and tell Inspector Strong what is going on.
She understands the plan and after hiding all night they head east up the pass.

There is a 4th party unknow to anyone that is interested in the four people in Rage’s jeep as they flee Seattle. They are watching them every foot of the way.
In the flatlands of eastern Washington, another attack is being prepared to stop them. Three trucks armed to the teeth are looking for them. Jones might be able to remove two of them but the third is in question.

Will the four people arrive safely at Mountain Home Airforce base in Idaho and can even the Colonel protect them from the people wanting them all dead? What can a set of teenage girls have, or know about quantum anything, to have paid assassins after them?

Chapter 1 Who is Watching

There is a multi-million-dollar Penthouse in Seattle. It has a three-sided view of Mt. Rainer, the Puget Sound, and the Space Needle all from the same spot in the room. Only a turn of the head is needed for the view.

In a room sits a 20-foot solid walnut desk overlooking Puget Sound. The entire room is covered in a blood red silk rug. The rug is from mainland China; they never allow such a national treasure to leave their country, but she has it on her floor. The rug has a story of its own. The only furniture is the desk and chair behind it. There are three doors into the room. She uses the door behind the desk.

The woman known only as the ‘Madam’ is sitting behind the desk. She is called Madam out of respect; boss would never do. Besides, no one knows her name.

The Madam behind the desk is a dark-haired beauty some place between twenty-five and forty-five years old. Some have described her as statuesque, charming, stately, debonair, classic, deadly, cold, and calculating but never in her presence.

But Jones’ view on ‘bikini body armor’ maybe the closest of all.

The woman behind the desk looks up from the single sheet of paper on her desk.

Standing in front of the desk is a six feet two inches, stately, long legged blond; her skirt is just above the knees and is a light blue color. Her hair is short, almost a boy’s cut. She is blue eyed, perky nose and a long neck. From any view, she is never mistaken for a boy. Her name is Solvieg Blom, which means sun colored, yellow; Blom in Norse.

Solvieg has plans for the evening. He hair is short for a better fit in her racing helmet. She has her own 600-pound Harley. She rides it only in competition. He first love is her Formula One racing car. Her height requires a modified driver’s compartment in her private racing car.

She could walk the boardwalk, (and has), earning a million a year and yet she and others are personal assistants to the dark-haired beauty behind the walnut desk and many people were not happy when they left the board walk.

Solviegn reports, "The deaths of two young women in the University district brought Inspector Strong and Detective Smith running to the scene. They suspected some trouble with the car and ‘snaked it’ longer than necessary. A second police van arrived, and they viewed the under carriage of the car. It was then towed off. The second van held FBI staff. Our light surveillance of Detective Rage places her in the area shortly before. We have lost her jeep but will find it."

The Madam nods, I agree, we need to find and watch the Detective.

Chapter 2 The Assignment

The phone rings in Inspector Strong’s office. He refuses the caller ID feature and insists on a handheld black desk phone.

The Inspector oversees the Homicide Division in the police department. This is unusual; the division may have a Captain; usually it would be a Major. An Inspector is more like a Chief than either
