128 Midnight Rescue » by lulupickles
I wrote a song, which I haven't done in a over a year. Without having my daughter's electric keyboard, I can't harmonize the music. I could record several renditions by playing my flute and merging them in a program, but it's easier to hear the mistakes on the keyboard. The lyrics to Midnight Rescue is mine. I modified them slightly to fit my story.

57 The Push And The Pull » by MoSRhyo
In the books, Joe says to Stephanie, many times, that she doesn't know who Ranger really is, saying that he is a gun runner, a mercenary and many other things. Maybe Joe knows something she doesn't. This is a much more "covert ops" Ranger. Also a braver Steph, one who knows what she wants, than we've ever seen in the books.
