Sen takes out a cigar from his belt and places it to his lips, his eyes watch the reflection of his wifes ass in the window as she walks back to finish packing. The smile on his face is soon erased by a flash in the distance. Power transformers sparking as they fall somewhere in the chaos of the storm. Sens mind quickly switches to the project that SenCorp was working on just before he set off to the cook islands with Yas to be married. "Shit, I need to secure the server and transfer the data before the power goes out." he says as he flicks his zippo open and heads to his laptop.
"What? Baby we need to get the fuck out of here." Yas exclaims. "We will love, just two shakes of ..." His voice falls short; "What the fuck, its gone! The data is gone. That is impossible." His fingers quickly typing away at the keyboard as he tries to find any trace of the project. After several attempts it becomes clear to him that the data has been stolen. He leans back in his chair as his mind processes all the variables of the situation. The hurricane will wipe out any trace of the city in a matter of hours, surely nothing can be left. He reaches for the phone to make one important call to Frost, the one man that he knew was still in the city that would be willing to make it to the old military base to set the explosives that had been placed for a moment such as this.
As he reaches out to take the phone a call comes in. "Sen here, talk to me." He says. "Sir! We made it to the mainland. Where are you and Yas?" he hears the voice say on the other end of the phone. "Hey laur, we are still in the city, about to leave.". Laur the innocent looking girl that has been apart of SenCorp for so many years. "SIR GET OUT OF THERE! The storm is almost on top of you,,," Her sentence is broken up by sounds of shouting in the background.
"Shut up you slut!" Laur shouts out to the shouting in the background. "I dont care if you have lost all your good dildos and porn recordings!" Laur huffs for a moment and returns to the phone. "Sir please get out of there now." Sen laughs slightly as he looks out the window, the sound of a chopper attempting a landing in front of the Sencorp tower.
"We are leaving now strawberry." Sen says as he opens a drawer of his desk, pulling out a small black detonator transmitter. "Just need to do some cleaning before we go." He says. The sound of the phone being pulled away from Laur; "Gimme that!" "NO I AM NOT.." "Sir, sir? This is Tempest! Can you please swing by the porn studio and pick up a box that I have on the top shelf in the main bookcase of the studio marked 'Romantic fuck toys'? I forgot to,,," The sound of rustling emmits from the phone and muffled voices that Sen can hardly make out. "Slut!" "Bitch give me that phone!" "Back off you little cock smoker I need ,,,,,,! " The phone goes dead as Sen closes the phone with whispered "Bloody hell"
Sen has only a moment to shake his head before the phone rings again, he flips it open as he stands to head to the room where Yas is packing the last of the things. "We will be out of here in two mi,,,," His words are stopped to the sound on the other end. It was Frost. His voice mixed with the sound of wind blowing over the headset. He was clearly in the elements of the storm. "Frost? Can you hear me?" "Yes, I can! She zonne grige." He hears frost say. "What whos gone over the ridge?" "No, ve brawn slop of gringe." Frosts attempts to make his words clear through the wind and rain that dominated the cellular call were a struggle, as he disparately tried to convey his message. "Frost try that one more time! I cant make out what you are saying!" Sen Shouts into the phone as Yas walks around the corner, her interest peeked by Sens loud words. "She,,,is,,on,,,top,,of,,the,,bridge!"
Frost says as clear as he can in the phone as Sen straights up and looks to Yas.
"Who is?" Sen Asks. "Tricky!" Frost shouts back into the phone. Sen pulls back the phone from his ear, saying over to Yas. "Tricky is on top of the bridge again! In this shit!" Sen looks out the window in disbelief. "Oh yeah, she said something about saving the sharks from the storm, she had this plan to drop a net on them from the top of the bridge. " Yas says back as she starts to file her nails. "We are leaving now right?" Yas asks as she looks up over her polished nails.
Sen lets out a long sigh as he knows Frost can not make it to the military base to set the charges and save Tricky from the bridge without them both being killed. Sen turns back to the phone. "Frost, get her redbull jacked up self out of there and get to the last chopper leaving at the airport. Now.." Sen says as he walks across the room, taking his wifes hand and leading her down the stairwell to the bottom of the tower. The large transport helicopter with its blades swirling in the rain they make their way to the door as it is swung open. "Hurry get in!" A voice calls out as they climb into the chopper.
Dette helps them in, as they brush off the rain from them selves. "Sup girl!" Yas says over to Dette as both her and Sen strap them self into the seats of the chopper. The good priest Father Fermen sitting next to Dette slides the door closed as the chopper pilot powers up lifting up off the ground slowly and starts moving over the city. "Gald you both made it." Dette says over to Sen and Yas. "The father here was just telling me that God has seen this place as evil and is cleansing it, he also says we should be naked in case we dont make it so we can enter the gates of heaven the way we were born." She gives the Good father a glaring look. The coy look on the fathers face reveals he is guilty of attempted sin that he is so notorious for. "I was merely doing my best to make sure this lovly girl had every chance to bless us all with what God has given us." He says over in defense.
As the chopper moves through the storm over the staging point of evacuation helicopters he can see Frost, with Tricky over his shoulder boarding the last chopper on the ground. Trickys arms are stretched out, legs kicking and the faint sound cutting through the sound of the chopper blades and storm as she screamed out; "SHARKYS! I WILL COME BACK FOR YOU! I LOVE YOU!" Sen watches as Frost tosses her into the waiting chopper and closes the door. He looks over to his wife "Everyone is out." "Good." She says as she looks over at the pilot. "Step on it damn it!"
Sen pulls out the small detonator from his pocket, looking back at the city outline through the rain as he presses the button. The flashes of reds and oranges as explosives all over the city ignite. Sen's planning to secure the city by fire was in full effect. The War room bar, where so many events had taken place, the center point of drama erupts in flames as the walls and roof are blown apart. In the distance, the tall SenCorp tower blasts at its base, rolling pure power from the explosives causes the tower to collapse from the bottom bringing the entire thing down. All over the city are flashes and large bangs mixed into the thunder of the storm. An almost symphony as everything is destroyed by explosives or the power of the storm. The last two choppers vanish into the distance of the clouds.
Sen turns to his wife as she rests her head on his shoulder, Dette sitting across from them looks out the window her foot resting on a bag of stolen goods. Things she has acquired from various individuals without their knowledge, she is thankful the storm has erased all evidence of her hidden past of a theif. Father Furman sits quietly by holding a wooden box. His hands running over the top of it in an almost passionate stroke, his fingers tracing the raised worded label "Romantic fuck toys" as they all make their way to safer ground.
(Present day) - Phoenix rising.
Sitting in the office Sens phone starts to vibrate as a call comes in. Picking it up distracted as he types away on the many keyboards in front of him; "Sen here." He says. "Sir, we returned to South America. We have checked out what has happened to the island. The storm from a year ago has changed the landscape. Not everything was destroyed. We did find parts of the stolen project. Phoenix. It is active. And the chatter on the network is that people know about it. They are looking for it and starting to make their way to the island." The voice says on the other end of the phone.
Sen leans back in his chair thinking a moment as the silence seems to last forever. "Sir are you there?" "Yes, I am here." Sen says. "We need to re-establish there, and fast. Every drug dealer, pimp, prostitute, and gang will be descending on that fucking place. I will call some of the investors, get them mobilized. We are going to need to get an infrastructure set up there fast so when the masses get there, we have control of the situation." Sen says to the man on the other end of the phone. "Yes Sir, I will make sure construction starts today." The unknown man says. "Good. I will start tracking down the people that used to live there, maybe I can influence them to get back to the city, because they are all at risk now." Sen says with a sigh.
Within hours transports are heading back to the South American location filled with construction material. Project planners going over SenCorp documents outlining plans for an established Government with city leaders, plans for funds for the local police, detailed risk assessments on the drug lord elements, the operating pimps and local prostitutes that will soon infest the city.
The one question is what is project Phoenix. What powerful significance did it have? As Sen opens up his case pulling out the Military gear he was known to wear as he plans to head back to the city, his mind can not shake the knowledge that the person that has stolen Phoenix and is starting to put it in play, will have power unlike anyone has ever seen over the entire South American region if they can piece it all together. But for now, it will remain a question of who can piece it together first and become the controller of the new city.
