Daggat

[tonym5]

Raoul de Pedras de Corazon smirks at Ruliff Daggat after listening to the man's big plans. As the leader of the MS-13 gang, Raoul was hard-bitten that the supposed cargo of drugs would still be in usable condition, is willing to put up with this half-wit to flood the streets of America with drugs and revive the power that the Mara Salvatruca had just a few years ago in America. After that witch in Korea had manipulated the MS-13 gangs in America for the purpose of forwarding her own agenda in the name of the Trojan cult that she led, Raoul was not about to let the MS-13 gang be used again, especially by Ruliff Daggat.

October 28, 1929. Black Monday, a date that will haunt an entire generation as many lives were ruined by the financial depression that started in Wall Street and would spread across the Atlantic. Men and Women were running in the streets of New York City in hysteria. Matthew Pitt was dumbstruck by people's reliance on monetary gains for happiness. He was walking around watching the growing fear. He heard a scream and saw some people ahead of him look up and as he did a body flew down and smashed on the sidewalk. He soon heard that many others had taken this route to end their lives. Up ahead he saw a man and what appeared to be his young daughter fighting. He saw the man draw a gun and Matthew ran towards the man. He knocked the man down and as he was struggling to right himself, Matthew found himself looking into the face of Rudolf Daggat. Without thinking, Matthew punched the man. The man fell back down and was dazed. "If you are so darn stupid enough to kill your daughter, you do not deserve to be her father" spat, Matthew. Matthew asked if the girl would like to leave her father behind and walk with him. She said yes and followed him, looking back and then screamed as her father grabbed his gun. Matthew Pitt swung around and without thought took the few steps quickly and in a lightning move removed the gun from the man's hand. He swung at the man again that knocked him unconscious. Matthew walked away with the girl holding his hand. Later, the girl introduced herself as Emilia Daggat. Not knowing what to do with her, he inquired if she had any relatives. She said that she had an older brother who was already living on his own and did not know how to contact him. Matthew had an idea and took her on a train ride across the country and headed to China on a steamer. He knew that Matthew Caine could take care of her in his monastery.

Later, after five years in China with Matthew Caine and having learned Tai Chi, she was old enough to be on her own. Emily Deveraux was her name now and soon she learned to fly in an abandoned plane that some American pilot had abandoned outside a small Chinese village. She soon began flying around and earning money by showing her skills and teaching a few. She met an author, Pearl Buck, who told her stories of America and how it was slowly changing back to it's old glory. Emily got homesick and decided to head for America where she continued her flying as one of a few women pilots flying on a regular basis for show. Later, after war broke out in Europe Emily sensed that it would only be some time when the United States would be involved. She joined the Navy. She tried to convince them of her flying skills but was not believed by the men. They soon found something else she was good at, swimming, and soon she was learning to dive for the Navy. It was after the United States had entered the war that she learned her father had died in 1939.

2021. At the age of 102, Emily Devereaux Broadbent was alone again after 70 years of marriage when her husband, Daniel Broadbent passed away in 2019. She was still in good shape and doing a heck of a job running her husband's company, Broadbent Herkimer. The Company's progress in turning around blighted inner cities was a success. Some had taken a herculanean effort because of the power of gangs and organized crime. There were still many cities she wanted to take care of. Detroit was the hardest to turn around. Now, at her age she began thinking of somebody who was qualified to take on the job should she falter. With an executive headhunter company looking for someone, it would be a matter of time. She was now reading a prospective about Evangeline Carrington Pitt. The Pitt name rang familiar until she rememberd meeting Dirk Pitt back in the late 1960s when she had gone over to Vietnam on a job for for the company. She remembers now his story about rescuing an Admiral Sandecker by shooting down his plane. And that brought up memories of her brief affair during World War 2 with James Sandecker. She read some more of the prospectus when she learns that Evangeline is Dirk Pitt's daughter-in-law. Married to one Dirk Pitt Jr. Emily decides to set up an appointment with Evangeline Pitt, to learn more about her skills even though most of it was educational administration, she decided to see what the young woman had to offer. It would be most interesting to meet another member of the Pitt family considering what Matthew Pitt had done for her. She was most grateful to Matthew Pitt.

May 2021. Carrington Pitt walks confidently into Emily Broadbent's office and is directed to sit by Emily. "Welcome to Broadbent Herkimer, Mrs. Pitt, I may be an old woman but am quite capable still to run this company and have done so in one form or another since my husband started this company just after we married back in 1949. How long have you been married now Mrs. Pitt?". "It will be seven years in November" replies Evangeline. "Have you any kids?" "Yes, I have three kids. Two girls and a son" replies Evangeline. "I have read of your experience as an administrator in the field of Education and am impressed. I am also pleased to see that you have worked in Urban areas before you went on to work for the NEA, As administrator of the National Science Foundation's Science and Engineering Directorate, Chief Science Officer on the Pennsylvania Colony on Mars, Science and Technology Advisor to President Rogers and then UnderSecretary of Education for President Melendez. Most Impressive career for someone as young as you are at 38 this month". Evangeline smiles and "Thank you for the compliment Mrs. Broadbent". "So, tell me why you want to work for Broadbent Herkimer" states Emily Broadbent. Carrington speaks for the next five minutes and at the end Emily is happy to hear why Carrington wants to work in the Urban areas of the blighted inner cities.

Happily, Summer Pitt toils in the huge Seaquarium that was just recently built in Houston. Working as a marine biologist was satisfying work and the Seaquarium was built to help revive the inner city of Houston that has been plagued with problems for nearly 40 years. After cleaning some pipes she takes a break and as she sits down with food and drink, her cellphone jiggles her hip. She flips open her cellphone and is happy to hear Carrington's voice and listens as Carrington tells of being hired by Broadbent Herkimer as it's new COO. Summer is happy for her sister-in-law and the two chat. "Since you are going to be involved in turning around some blighted inner cities you will have to include Houston on your list to visit. I have been involved in the building of the Seaquarium here and working as the top Marine Biologist and would love some help in rejuvenating Houston. There are many problems here that should be worked on and I can only do so much".

November 1904. "I am not surprised that you would be taken in by the story of my involvement in a guns for drugs deal, Teddy, but I will back off on my attacks" replies William Hearst, who is chastened. Hearst turns and leaves President Roosevelt's office. A moment later, the Secretary of State, Elihu Root walks into the office and asks how the interview with Hearst went. "Very well, indeed Elihu. If it were not for Matthew Pitt's evidence and some corroborating stories about Hearst's involvement with that unscrupulous german, Rudolf Daggat it would have been impossible to bring him to heel. I told you that those germans are no good and mark my word they will be a danger in the near future. Now about Dr. Nicholas Butler of Columbia University, have you convinced him to parrot what I am saying about the trusts and other issues of concern, Elihu?". 'Yes, I have Teddy, and naturally he will say it without sounding like you" Elihu states. "Bully good!! It doesn't hurt to have someone of influence to help hawk the same concerns I have" returns Teddy.

September 17, 1917. George Pitt finishes his duty as lifeguard at Santa Monica beach and heads home. After settling in on the couch with a magazine and a snack, George relaxes. Matthew Pitt, his father walks in the door after a long day listening to reports on the AEF preparations for America's entry into the European war in his office at the Los Angeles Daily Times. George looks up and see's the look on his father and knows that he is going to be lectured. "George, I honestly believe that your job as a lifeguard is not good preparation for the war and I wish you would find a better job that can prepare you as a soldier" declares Matthew. Lily walks into the living room and kisses Matthew and smiles at her tall, handsome son. "I agree with your father, George, you should look for a decent job that pays better. I know you love the water and so do I but it is not a practical job in the long run". October 1918. First Lieutenant George Pitt, in the First Infantry Division at the trenches of Nancy, France, George reflects on those conversations as he stands in the muddy trench in France as he watches for signs of german troop movements. Having had a job at the beach back home did prepare him in his stamina and immune to the illnesses that everyone else has fallen victim to here in the muddy trenches. George is grateful for his health while waiting monotonously for some action. The next day, October 4 the attack was renewed against the germans. October 5 George was running with his division in the Meuse-Argonne woods when he was tripped by what he thought was a rock. Lying on the ground, George turned to look at what he had tripped over. It was a hand pushing a grenade towards him. George moved his rifle to knock the grenade back towards the hole it had popped out of. It did not explode. George turned around and started to dig until he saw a german trooper looking up at him. "Who the hell do you think you are?" asked George. "I am Herr Meinhard Daggat" spat the young man in his hole. George grabs his pistol and lazily aims it at the young man. The young german stares defiantly. An explosion occurs nearby that distracts George for a second. And when he looks again, the young man had disappeared. George slithers down the hole to follow knowing he was making a mistake to pursue the german. After a few minutes running after the soldier, George comes out of an opening and finds himself looking at three german troops who line up shoulder to shoulder but a grenade tossed from behind a bush takes the three men out and out steps an American soldier. George is grateful and follows his fellow trooper. They come across the german George was pursuing. Meinhard gets off a quick shot wounding the soldier next to George. George fires his pistol and wounds the german soldier. Meinhard looks at George wildly before taking off. George decides not to push his luck and tends to his fellow soldier before carrying him back to the front.

1921. Los Angeles, a growing city and with an ever increasing problem with crime finds George Pitt now a Los Angeles cop and married. Barbara Moore, a young dark haired beauty captured George's eye at a Movie house after he returned from the war. They dated for nearly a year until marrying in 1919. In a shootout during the summer of 1921, his first partner, Harry Beacham was killed. George was grazed by a bullet. Finally, in November, George cornered the man who shot Harry and beat him. It was then that the man revealed that he was a member of a german outfit that was led by a Meinhard Daggat. The name rang familiar to George and it took a few minutes for it to sink in where he remembered the man from. It was in the woods of the Meuse-Argonne where he had shot the young german soldier. George arrested the young fellow who had shot Harry and took him to Police Headquarters. The sergeant was not surprised when George informed him of an outfit that was sytematically breaking the law. "It's not uncommon, George that groups like the germans have banded together because of the way we treated them here in the states during the war and started to retaliate by organizing and breaking the laws" retorts Sergeant Mooney.

October 2021. At the ports of Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and New York the drugs being run by the Mara Salvatruca and the ships of Daggat began to unload their innocuous cargoes and were immediately distributed by the inner city gangs.

Homeland Security was shocked to find a wave of drugs and crime growing again in the inner cities after only six months of peace. Broadbent Herkimer and it's new COO Carrington Pitt and Law enforcement found their jobs stressful fighting the new wave.
