THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS Chapter 93: The Atlantic Gateway
Chapter 93: The Atlantic GatewayThe chill of the Newark terminal was. Now Avery was standing on the bridge of the Thorne-Sterling Vanguard. This was the flagship of the deep-water fleet. By mid-afternoon the salt-heavy winds of the Atlantic shipping lanes were blowing strongly.Avery had a telemetry receiver on the brass railing of the wing. Her dark tank top was whipping against her skin in the ocean spray. The canvas work pants were stiff with salt crust. Her leather work boots were holding her steady against the roll of the 900-foot container vessel. The vessel was approaching the entrance to the New York Harbor channel."The automated ballast-transfer pumps are dragging an eight-millisecond response latency " Avery called out. She swiped her thumb across the interface. "The shipyard in Virginia used hydraulic actuators that couldn't handle the rapid trim adjustments required by the Thorne-Sterling Vanguards high-speed routing curves. If we don't re-pack the seals with polymers be
THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS Chapter 92: The High-Velocity Loop
Chapter 92: The High-Velocity LoopThe peace and quiet of the Manhattan executive suite did not last long. By 4:00 AM Avery was back in her world standing inside the high-security technical hub of the Thorne-Sterling transit terminal in Newark.The air was cool and crisp. It hummed with the power of the big machines that supplied the automated cranes along the shipping channels. Avery had changed out of her suit and was now wearing dark utility trousers and a charcoal tank top. Her hair was pulled back into a knot. Her leather boots made a sound as she walked on the steel catwalk. She was checking the digital screens that showed how fast the cargo was being loaded."The cranes at Berth 4 are slowing down the container locks by seven seconds, " Avery said loudly. Her voice was sharp and clear. She was using her slate to run a special test on the terminal's pressure loops. "The old contractors used a type of fluid that gets thinner when the pumps are working hard. If we do not change th
THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS Chapter 91: The New Baseline
Chapter 91: The New BaselineThe party in the suite had finally died down and all that was left was the quiet hum of the city outside the big glass windows. Leo had already left to work on the morning server updates with Marcus so the private lounge was pretty quiet except for the glow of the city lights below.Avery was standing near the glass. She had not even touched her drink. She had taken off her jacket. Was just wearing her vest and pants with her hands in her pockets. She was looking out at the lights of the ships on the East River. She felt really calm which was weird for her."You are looking at the traffic again " Silas said, his voice filling the room.He walked over to her from the bar. He was really quiet even though he is a big guy. He had rolled up his sleeves. He was holding a tablet that showed all the information about the ships that were coming in."I am looking at how long it takes for the ships to turn around, " Avery said, smiling a little as she looked at him i
THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS Chapter 90: The Skyline Conquest
Chapter 90: The Skyline ConquestThe heavy mahogany doors of the room locked behind them with a quiet click. The noise from the press pool stopped. The bright camera lights still shone in Avery's eyes. Inside the executive suite it was very quiet.Avery leaned back against the door. Let out a slow breath. She had been holding it since she stepped onto the stage. Her ivory silk power suit looked great in the light of the private lounge. For a moment she just stood there enjoying the quiet.Then Silas chuckled, a rumbling sound.He stood by the big glass windows looking out over the Manhattan skyline. He took off his charcoal suit jacket. Threw it over a leather armchair. His white shirt glowed against the city view. He turned to face her his tie his gray eyes burning with a strong raw heat."A show dog, Avery?" Silas said with a smile. His deep voice sounded warm and amused. He walked across the room, his big frame quickly covering the distance between them. "I think the editor of the
THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS Chapter 89: The Crucible of the Press
Chapter 89: The Crucible of the PressThe dirt and grease and the hum of diesel engines were all gone. Now Avery was in the Thorne-Sterling glass auditorium in Midtown Manhattan. This place was totally different. It was like a pressure cooker.The stage was like a wall of white light. There were dozens of camera lenses clicking away. The flashbulbs were reflecting off the mahogany stage. The minted executive board was about to announce the formal structure of the merged global empire.Avery was backstage looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a tailored ivory power suit. It was perfect. She had kept her hair down in its dark waves. She was not wearing any jewelry except for her grandfather's silver stopwatch. It was tucked into her breast pocket. Her boots were leather. They were sleek and polished."They are not going to ask about the profit margins, Avery," a low voice said from the doorway.Silas was standing there. He was leaning against the frame. He had a glass of wat
THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS Chapter 88: The Toledo Junction
Chapter 88: The Toledo JunctionThe city of Detroit was fading into the distance. The flat horizon of the Toledo rail yard was coming into view. The air was thick with the smell of iron and creosote. A summer storm was. The air was electric with it.Avery was standing on the metal deck of the switching tower, her hands on the iron railing. She had changed into a dark tank top. Her work pants were covered in rust dust from checking the old gears. Her boots were digging into the floor as she looked out at the yard below. There were dozens of heavy rail cars being sorted by automated switches."The switching time on the rail line is now zero, " Avery said, her voice clear and strong. She did not look back as the steel door of the tower opened and a cool wind came in. "The old operators were using controls that took twenty minutes per car. With Leo's system we can sort eighty cars in under sixty seconds."Silas stepped onto the deck, his frame blocking out the wind. He was wearing a charc

THE HEIRESS IN OVERALLS THE VAULT OF SECRETS
Chapter 3: The Vault of Secrets The SUV cut through the morning fog of Manhattan like a sharp knife. Inside it was quiet. Silas sat in the back with Avery staring at his tablet though he hadn't scrolled in five minutes. Avery looked out the window, her hand holding the strap of her bag where the S

Chapter 2: The 5:00 AM Execution The sound of a boot hitting her door was all Avery needed to wake up. She quickly grabbed her bag making sure the cream-colored envelope was still inside. Her heart was beating fast like it was going to jump out of her chest. She had to get out of there in three mi
