On track he was always the toughest of tough competitors, tough sometimes to the point at which I’d wonder how could such a nice bloke out of a car grow such horns and a tail inside one,

Stirling Moss on Jack Brabham

Sir Jack Brabham's three world championships ( 1959, 1960, 1966) were the product of both his engineering expertise and driving skill. His first two titles, in rear-engined Coopers he helped develop, confirmed the obsolescence of front-engined Formula One cars. His third title, in a Brabham, made him the only driver to become champion in a car of his own make. His last win came at the 1970 South African Grand Prix, after which, aged 44 and with 126 races behind him, the triple champion retired to Australia. His now-defunct team was sold to future Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone while Ron Dennis, Brabham’s erstwhile chief mechanic, went on to transform McLaren.

At 18 he joined the Royal Australian Air Force in Adelaide, where he wanted to learn to fly but was instead trained to fill a wartime shortage of flight mechanics. Upon his discharge, in 1946, an uncle in the construction business built him a workshop in Sydney, where Jack opened his own engineering establishment. 

Jack's introduction to motorsport came through a friend who raced midgets on dirt track ovals in 1951. Jack helped him build a new car and when his friend decided to stop driving Jack took over and became a regular winner. In self-prepared midgets he won four successive Australian championships and was the 1953 hillclimb champion in a British-built Cooper-Bristol. Two years later his growing ambition to expand his motorsport horizons brought Jack to England. A meeting with John and Charles Cooper, constructors of his successful Australian car, led to a friendship and partnership that would propel the tiny Cooper Car Company and 'Black Jack' Brabham into the forefront of Formula One history.

With Brabham providing the inspiration (he helped persuade the Coopers to take the rear-engine route into Formula One racing) and the perspiration (he built up his first chassis in Cooper's workshop) the tiny British cars with the engines in the back sped to the front in an era previously dominated by big, front-engined Italian and German roadsters.

In the Brabham-led team's first full championship season of 1958 the debut win for a Cooper came courtesy of Stirling Moss, who drove Rob Walker's private entry to victory in Argentina.

In 1959 Moss won twice, but Brabham's victories in Monaco and Britain together with his consistently high placings resulted in the Australian winning a drivers’ title that some thought owed more to stealth than skill, an opinion at least partly based on Brabham's low-key presence.

As much an engineer as a racing driver, with wartime experience working as ground crew in the Royal Australian Air Force, Brabham was never one to hog the limelight or seek attention. Always a man of few words - his nickname 'Black Jack' referred to both his dark hair and his propensity for maintaining a shadowy silence - he avoided small talk and was undemonstrative in the extreme.

Brabham may not have been a big talker or particularly flamboyant but he was as shrewd as they come. Behind the wheel he was anything but shy and retiring. He put his head down and drove exceedingly forcefully, opposite-locking his car dirt-track style, and was not averse to deliberately showering gravel in the face of a too closely following pursuer. His aversion for the limelight became more of a problem in 1960, when he completely dominated the nine-race series, winning consecutively in Holland, Belgium, France, Britain and Portugal, en route to his second successive championship.

Following an unproductive 1961 season, when the Ferraris were all powerful, Brabham left Cooper to form Motor Racing Developments, in partnership with the talented Australian designer Ron Tauranac. The MRD Brabhams were quickly successful in several categories of racing, particularly Formula Two where for several years they dominated, affording the opportunity for many drivers to advance their careers. The Brabham Formula One car, which first appeared late in 1962, became steadily more competitive as the team leader personally perfected the chassis set-up and fine-tuned the Climax engines. In 1964 Brabham had the satisfaction of seeing his team mate Dan Gurney win in France and Mexico.

For 1966, when the new 3-litre formula came into effect, Brabham persuaded an Australian company Repco (a manufacturer of automotive components) to produce a Formula One engine from a venerable Oldsmobile V8 design. Equally ancient was Brabham himself, or so it seemed to the media and his much younger rivals who used to kid him about his age. Prior to the 1966 Dutch Grand Prix, his first race after his 40th birthday, 'Geriatric Jack' Brabham hobbled onto the starting grid at Zandvoort, wearing a long false beard and leaning on a cane. Sportingly, several of his laughing opponents helped him into the cockpit of his Brabham-Repco, which happened to be on pole position.

Tossing aside his beard and cane Brabham proceeded to win that race, a feat he also accomplished in France, in Britain and in Germany - on the notoriously difficult and dangerous Nurburgring - a victory he felt was the most satisfying of his career. Thus in 1966 Brabham became the first (and still only) driver, to win the championship in a car of his own make. 

Jack Brabham, whose final victory came in the 1970 South African Grand Prix when he was 44, chose that season to retire as a driver. The Brabham team was sold to Bernie Ecclestone and Jack returned home to Australia, where he busied himself running a farm, a car dealership and an aviation company, and helped his sons with their racing careers. His contribution to British motorsport was officially recognised in 1985 and he became Sir Jack Brabham. He passed away peacefully at his home in May 2014, aged 88.

Chapter 6 of I’ll Be Back Again To Stay

Series Masterlist | Main Masterlist

Pairing: Santiago Garcia x single mom!reader

Warnings: none :)

Word Count: 3.5k

Author’s Note: it’s getting pretty intense (yearning. it’s the yearning that’s intense)

Just as you suspected, Inez wakes you before the sun is even fully in the sky, deep blues and rich oranges painting the view outside your window, with barely any light streaming through. But, today, and her birthday, are the only days you’ll indulge her by waking up whenever she does.

You trudge downstairs in your pajamas and get started on the coffee while Inez races over to the tree, staring in awe at the presents that await her. Sydney and Will have to get an early start to their day as well, so they’re up soon after you are.

While it’s only about an hour drive to Will’s parents, Christmas is a full day, full family affair for the Millers. It’s essentially a family reunion, just with presents and more tensions. This is Sydney’s second year braving the Miller household on Christmas, and you have complete faith that she’ll be able to hold it together.

Even so, you’ve constructed a backup plan, some issue that requires her and Will to leave early. And as much as he loves his family, you know Will’s thankful to keep this plan in his back pocket.

After a quick breakfast, Sydney and Will are out the door and Inez is back to impatiently waiting next to the Christmas tree. You join her in the living room, coffee cup in hand, and let her rip open her gifts.

It would be impossible not to smile at her pure joy and appreciation for every single gift she opens, no matter how small or large. After opening a gift that you signed, she runs over to hug you, and otherwise she shouts her thanks into the room, as if hoping that Santa could hear her.

With her ferocity, the gifts are opened in under thirty minutes and it’s still barely past the sunrise. You knew what you were agreeing to when Sydney told you she’d be spending Christmas Day with the Millers, but now you regretted that choice. As much as you loved to spend time with your daughter, there were only so many festive things you could do together that would keep her entertained.

And then you get a text.

Not sure what your plans are, but I remember you saying Syd was ditching you. You’re welcome to stop by. Toby would love the company.

You hate how broadly you smile at that, you hate the butterfly stampede in your chest. You feel suddenly lightheaded at the idea of spending more time alone with Santi, when the last time that happened you’d left kiss drunk and confused, unsure of how you felt.

You enjoyed it, that much was obvious, and the moments played on a loop inside your head. But you couldn’t place the tightness in your chest, the need to feel close to him. It was forgein and scary and you didn’t know if Santiago felt the same, if he felt anything at all.

Still, you ask Inez what she thinks, and she’s thrilled at the idea of meeting Santiago’s dog, so you send him your response.

Inez gives that two thumbs up. When should we stop over?

His response comes almost immediately, as if he had been staring and waiting for you to answer.

Whenever it works for you two. I can make lunch?

Sounds perfect, see you soon!

You shut off your phone and resist the urge to hide your face in a pillow, squeal, and kick your legs. Instead, you give Inez the devastating news that she needs to change out of her pajamas if you’re going to leave the house. She looks as if you just told her you have to return all of her presents.

“Comfy clothes?” You try to find a compromise, because today’s really mostly about avoiding tears, and she nods before trudging upstairs. You sit on the couch for a few moments longer, taking deep breaths the way you’ve had to do more often lately, before joining Inez upstairs to help her get ready for the day.

You send Sydney a message to let her know that you’ll be borrowing her car for a few hours, and then you start to make yourself presentable. You’re almost thankful for the antsy way Inez swings her legs off the bed, urging you to make your decisions faster.

Once you’ve settled on an outfit and helped Inez get all bundled up in her coat and boots, you start the drive to Santi’s house, heart pounding against your ribcage. Inez babbles on and on about how excited she is to see a puppy, giving you something else to think about before you go into a full blown panic over something as simple as seeing Santiago again.

Soon, you’re parking in front of Santiago’s house, Inez squirming to be let out of her car seat. As soon as her feet touch the ground, she’s off like a rocket, racing towards the front door, but she waits for you rather impatiently before ringing the doorbell. Her face lights up when she can hear Toby barking at the noise. You have to push down a smile at Santiago’s muffled shushing.

The three of you shout your greetings as Santi opens the door, using his leg to keep Toby safely in the house while ushering you and Inez instead. He grips Toby firmly around his middle while you help Inez take her boots off so he doesn’t rush and tackle her.

“He’s never bitten anyone, and I’ve always made sure he was ok with his tail and ears being pulled on,” Santiago assures you, waiting for your go-ahead before releasing Toby, as if you’d change your mind now and scoop Inez up before rushing away. Instead, you nod and remind Inez to be gentle.

Toby’s tail is wagging comically hard, barking happily when Santi lets him go. He rushes over to you first, remembering you from your previous visit, before he heads over to suss out Inez. She pats him on the head, as gently as she can, and it must be good enough for Toby because he flops over for some belly scratches.

“Merry Christmas,” Santiago tells you as you trail deeper into his house, Inez and Toby lagging behind in his front entrance. You answer him with a smile.

“Thanks for inviting us over, I know Inez has been looking forward to seeing a puppy.” You make no mention of what you want, of how deeply you seem to crave spending time with Santi.

You let your gaze wander, scanning from the kitchen to the living room to the front door, taking in the aspects of his home you didn’t notice the first time around. It’s sparsely decorated, with a few touches of red and green and twinkling lights thrown around. It still feels unbelievably cozy, somehow extremely warm and homey in a way that makes you want to sigh in relief, makes you relax more against the kitchen counter.

Maybe it’s the deep brown hardwood floors that make his house feel so comfortable. Maybe it’s the way it smells like sandalwood and laundry and something so distinctively Santiago. Maybe it’s the dog toys strewn about the floor, the dishes drying in the sink, the pile of throw blankets nestled by the couch.

A smile creeps across your face when you recognize the blanket he’d unwrapped from you yesterday, thrown across the back of his couch. It makes your heart ache, seeing it there in his home, out in the open. You almost want to cry, in a way you can’t quite explain. You want to reach across the counter and pull Santiago into a hug, but you don’t. You can’t, not now.

Now, Inez and Toby have made their way into the living room, giving you a perfect way to watch them play and still remain close to Santiago. It’s like you’re magnetized, and you can’t possibly be away from him, there’s something keeping you two close.

“No family plans?” You ask, an attempt to break the ice that had settled, not knowing the way you were prying Santi apart.

“No, uh, not this year,” he clears his throat, looking beyond uncomfortable, and guilt rises in your chest but he keeps going, “my siblings are all down in Florida, they’ve got their own families now and it’s too much shit to coordinate.”

He feels exposed, far too vulnerable for sharing a piece of typical information. You’d been trying to make conversation but Santiago’s so closed off that even something so simple as that makes him feel ripped open and inspected. His family’s a sore spot: he hasn’t seen his siblings since his mother’s funeral, before he ran off to Colombia to try and prove to himself that he’s a good person.

“Me and Inez normally spend Christmas alone, go see a movie or something.” He recognizes your response for what it is, something to placate his nerves, to offer something in return. He sees the gentle vulnerability, the truth buried under the seemingly casual statement: you have no true family beyond Inez and Sydney. He’s grateful for it, feels a warmth spread through his body at the idea that you noticed his discomfort and wanted to dispel it.

He casts his gaze around, searching for something to talk about, for anything to say that isn’t ‘I want to kiss you’ even though that’s all he wants to say. Instead, he says, “Well, you two are welcome here every year.”

A smile blooms on your face, followed by the sweetest laughter he’s ever heard. He wants to memorize everything about it, memorize the way your eyes crinkle and your breath catches in an almost-snort. It’s entirely endearing, and a small, angry, scared part of Santiago hates it. But he tries to ignore it, focusing back on your gorgeous smile and hoping you don’t notice the dopey look on his face.

Your laughter fades out, replaced by a gentle smile as you watch Inez play with Toby, snatching his toys away from him before he can reach them while his tail wags so fast you’re worried it’s about to fall off.

“He always has so much energy, maybe he won’t need a walk today.” Santiago comments, watching the scene unfolding in the living room from the other side of the kitchen counter. You turn, just a little, and catch sight of the easy smile on Santi’s face, almost as if he isn’t really controlling it and just can’t help himself.

You want to tell him how good he looks, that happiness is a good look on him, but you pull your comments back, refrain from making things any more awkward than they already are. You’re just glad that Inez can’t sense the awkwardness, because she’d say something to Sydney and then you’d never hear the end of it.

The morning passes with you and Santiago talking at the kitchen table, sharing stories over coffee mugs. Inez plays with Toby until they both tire out, and then they curl up on the couch together, eyes glued to the Christmas movie playing on the TV.

As time passes, the awkwardness dissipates more and more, until the air feels electric and your heart feels light. It’s nice, spending time with Santiago like this, with no expectations or prying eyes. It’s just the two of you, Inez entirely occupied in the living room, and it’s perfect. It feels like home.

“Are you getting hungry?” Santi asks after a glance at his watch, noticing how the time approaches noon. You’d told him before about how early Inez made you wake up, and the groggy morning that followed, including your minimal and slightly rushed breakfast. Your heart picks up at the way he remembers such little things about you.

“Hey, Squish!” You shout out, grinning at the way her and Toby pop their heads over the top of the couch to look over at you. “What do you want for lunch?”

“I can choose anything?” She asks, looking skeptical.

“Anything you want,” Santiago reinforces with a nod.

“Grilled cheese?”

“Is that your favorite?” Santiago asks, with a genuine curiosity that makes your heart melt. She nods eagerly, a toothy grin on her face. “That’s my favorite too!” Santi tells her with a genuine smile that only grows at her look of excitement.

The best part about his reaction is the fact that you aren’t sure if he’s telling the truth or not. You suspect it’s just something he said to see that smile on Inez’s face, but his own smile was so genuine you believed him too.

Santiago rises from his seat, heading into the kitchen amidst Inez’s little cheers from the couch. You follow him, taking up your spot at the counter again. You watch him cook, watch the way he lays out the ingredients and turns the stove on, watch as he follows the recipe by heart.

You try not to focus on his hands, how large they are, how soft but firm. How gentle he looks handling the bread, but how lethal handling the knife. Two distinct sides of him take form, one that is gentle and loving and warm, and one that is a trained killer.

It’s easy to forget about that aspect of his life with how rarely he talks about it. With all of the things he keeps to himself, his job is perhaps his safely kept secret, along with his feelings and past in general. Trying to get anything beyond the surface is like trying to pry open a clamshell.

You don’t want to push him, but you want to know the pearl he hides inside. You want him to know that you’d treat it with the utmost care, cradle it as gently as you once cradled Inez, pressed safe and close to your heart.

But, instead of saying any of that, you bury it deeper and ogle his hands.

You’re genuinely amazed by his grilled cheese making abilities: every single sandwich comes out perfectly golden and crispy. Inez’s eyes light up when she sees her plate, thanking Santi profusely as she shovels her sandwich into her mouth.

During lunch, you talk about puppies and Inez’s favorite presents and the things she likes to do. Santiago listens to it all with rapt attention, clinging onto every word Inez speaks. It makes your heart positively burst, watching the way he interacts with her, the way you can see in his eyes that he genuinely cares about what she has to say.

It’s almost too much, this wave of feelings that are beginning to overtake you. Somehow, you manage to contain yourself, instead offering to do the dishes since Santiago made lunch.

“Absolutely not, you’re the guest.” He says, rising and taking the plates out of your hand, “Besides, it’s Christmas. You should be relaxing.”

“So should you.”

He sighs dramatically, conceding to let you help with the dishes. He washed and then you dry, working together to put them back into the cabinets. The way his kitchen is set up, you’re pressed shoulder to shoulder at the sink, so close that you can feel the heat bleeding through his crewneck.

There’s a part of you that wants to turn and bury your face in his neck, inhaling his scent and his warmth, but you damp down that urge and focus on putting the plates back where they belong.

As you’re putting dishes away, Santiago is taking out three mugs, all with various festive designs on them.

“Hot chocolate?” He asks, and you nod eagerly, absolutely adoring the way he tries to tamp down his smile at your reaction.

He does that a lot, you’ve come to notice. Most of the time, he tries to shield his emotions, fighting back smiles or disappointment with an empty, neutral sort of look. But his eyes always give him away. You find yourself looking into those deep, gorgeous brown eyes more and more, trying your hardest to figure him out.

You think you’re getting better at reading him, but you really have no idea and no way to find out if you’re correct. Still, you’ll stick to your inferences and assumptions about him, and continue to stare into his eyes as if they’ll betray his deepest, darkest secrets.

He tops all of the mugs with whipped cream, adding sprinkles for Inez, before handing one to you and making his way over the couch.

“Careful, ok? It’s hot,” he tells Inez, waiting for her to sit all the way up before placing the mug into her little hands.

You sit down beside Inez, with Santiago pressed against your other side. You can feel the heat radiating off of his body from where it’s pressed against yours, and you’re convinced it’s one of the best feelings ever. Santi lets Inez choose a movie, flipping through channels and searching streaming services until she found one she liked.

She was passed out within the first 30 minutes, slumped against a throw pillow with her legs thrown across your lap. The excitement of the last few days, combined with the grilled cheese and hot chocolate, was the perfect recipe to get Inez to nap, something you hadn’t managed in quite some time.

Even though Inez sleeps all through the movie, and halfway through the next one, you still enjoy yourself. You and Santiago talk quietly, both about the movie and whatever else pops into your mind. Randomly, you’d get hit with the realization that this is the happiest you’ve felt in a long time before immediately choking those feelings back down.

Eventually, your exhaustion started to catch up with you too, and you felt your head slowly lulling to the side. Suddenly, your head is on Santiago’s shoulder and you feel him stiffen, immediately preparing to apologize and pull away when he exhales deeply, settling a gentle hand onto your knee.

You melt into him, and even though your head is bent at an odd angle, you’re more comfortable than you can ever remember being. There’s just something about being so close to him that just feels right, something that pulls the two of you together. You stay like that for a while, even letting your eyes close for a few moments.

When they open, Santiago glances down at you, a gentle smile gracing his features, looking as if this is the most natural position in the world. Reluctantly, you pull away, rolling the stiffness from your neck and shoulders.

“We should probably head out,” you say reluctantly, glancing between the clock and where Inez is stirring.

“Alright,” Santi replies, looking around as if for an excuse to keep you for a few hours more, “but I have something for you before you go.”

With that, he rises off the couch, taking a second to reset his body and stretch his stiff muscles before he wanders off to find whatever it is he wants to give you.

When he returns, it’s with a small, flat box, wrapped up in red checkered paper with a green bow. It’s clear that he wrapped it himself, and your heart constricts at that realization.

“You didn’t need to get me anything,” you tell him as you gently take the gift from his hands, starting to slowly rip the paper.

“I know, but…” he trails off as you slip the package from the paper, nervous to open the slim box.

When you do, you can’t help the gasp that escapes you.

It’s a necklace, with two little colored stones: one for Inez and one for you. You can feel tears pricking in the corners of your eyes as you look up at him, nerves plastered across his face.

“Sydney helped me pick it out, said you’d like it.”

“I-I love it, really.” You say, propelled up to your feet and wrapping Santi in a tight hug, pressing him as close to you as possible. “Thank you.” you whisper into his neck, content to stay there forever, or at least until you get your emotions under control.

“Of course,” he breathes into your hair, giving you one last squeeze before letting go.

“We should get going, Will and Syd’ll be back soon.” What you really want is to stay forever with Santiago and Toby in this little house, warm and comfortable for the rest of your life.

Instead, you scoop up a still sleepy Inez and make your way to the front door, tugging your shoes on and carrying Inez’s in your hand. The jewelry box is safely tucked into your coat pocket, and then there’s nothing left to do.

Santiago presses the softest kiss to your cheek as he opens the door for you, one you return as you exit, Inez waving goodbye from your arms.

There are so many emotions fluttering around your chest, rampaging your heart, and you’re more confused than you’ve ever been. You want to tell Santiago how you feel, but you can’t do that if you don’t really know what you’re feeling. It’s a gentle torture, one that has you holding back tears as you buckle Inez into her car seat.

On 12th April 1596 Sir Alexander Fraser, founder of the northeastern fishing port of Fraserburgh, died.

Originally a small fishing village called Faithlie, Fraserburgh got its name when the 8th Laird of Philorth, Alexander Fraser ( or Lord Saltoun), built a harbour in the village, hence gaining it the status of a free burgh of barony. Faithlie was renamed Fraserburgh in 1592 in recognition of the Laird’s achieve-ment.

The Fraser family are said to have originated in Anjou in France. They settled in Northeast Scotland in the 12th Century. In 1504 Sir William Fraser purchased the lands of Fathlie and Tyrie. His son was Alexander Fraser, who received the charter from Mary Queen of Scots, which established Faithlie as a free burgh of barony, allowing free trade. The Fraser family have stayed in this area since; the current local laird is the Honourable Mrs Kate Nicolson.

With the presence of the harbour, trade in salted fish from Fraserburgh grew due to the growing demands of the herring industry, particularly in Russia and the Baltic states. Through this growth in fishing, the town expanded. In the twentieth century, a variety of other industries emerged and developed in Fraserburgh.

The Maconochie Brothers saw a gap in the market during the world wars, and became market leaders in canning fish - their products were eaten by soldiers in both world wars! The Consolidated Pneumatic Tool Company produced and supplied tools for the shipbuilding and construction industries across the world - and were even involved in the building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge! Another notable company is Gray & Adams, who specialise in refrigerated transport. This diversification of industry means Fraserburgh has developed into the busy multi-trade harbour town it is today.

City of the Dead

Pairing: Leon Kennedy x OC

Word Count: 3.6k

Fandom: Resident Evil

Warnings: Financial abuse, verbal, slight domestic abuse

Summary: Amara has a slight bit of thinking on her past and what got her to become a cop, she questions Leon’s motives just the same as they make their way through the city.

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

1995

Was it possible for a heart to drop through your asshole to your feet? Your stomach to lurch so violently that it’d come out your mouth alongside the vomit?

Amara does, quite frankly too well, and what had occurred since this morning is more than the straw that broke the camel’s back. 

Her mother constantly made excuses for her father, saying he’d lived a tough life and that with support, he could be helped. But, how could she say that knowing that he had stolen money from his own flesh and blood to support his vices? And this wasn’t the first time either, other times the amounts had been small, nothing Amara couldn’t handle but now, it was different.

Even for someone at her young age, knew better and wouldn’t be around to do that. How could she be around to support the very same person who had hurt her? 

Her small semblance of stability, her control had been rocked so easily. She never wanted to feel as frantic and shattered as she did that morning at the bank. 

The teller eyed her with so much sympathy, or was it pity? Her heart almost seemed like a frog ready to jump from her throat as she backed away from the counter, the floor beneath her swaying a tad as she had to make a dash to the car before anyone could even ask her if she was alright. 

She had never sped back so fast to the base, in the loaner car they always switched out at each new base.

She pulled up to the blue-clad house on a street practically hidden by the cover of trees. An aspect her mother told her the construction company did to give the houses a sense of “normalcy”. Amara didn’t exactly think it gave anything close to normal.

This had been the longest they’d stayed anywhere, thankfully in the United States this time. Monet had moved on only a year ago, college certainly gave her a great excuse to stay in one place. 

Amara loved some aspects of being out of the country but the US had way more things she was more familiar with. 

For one thing, now that they were in California, Amara felt that she could breathe.

Amara never really bothered to learn the actual name of the place they lived, too much of an attachment always made it harder when they inevitably left. But still, she couldn’t help the indelible yet brief mark she knows it’ll leave. 

The city outside the base is not too big, not too small, it’s just right, her Mom would comment. Like Goldilocks. The city sits beside the sea, its own soft sand beach that would rush against the shore. It used to be a tourist attraction before it became overrun with more military personnel. 

Amara would sometimes wish she could stay forever, just letting the sun beat down on her skin, instead of just savoring every moment here considering how fleeting it could be. 

She barely gave care to the car as she practically jumped out without fully making sure it was in park. Rushing past her mother, trying not to let her in on what she was doing. The last thing she needed was to make her mother match her frantic energy. She quietly tore through her parents’ room, she’d learned early where her father tried to hide things. 

When she was seven, while on base in Sydney, he’d make it a point to make a game out of hiding things for her and Monet to look for. It was fun then, hiding silly things like candy and toys, now she was more frantic, afraid her heart would pound out of her chest. 

Amara thanked the powers that be that in his old age, he’d become so predictable. Her money, every cent, is laid out in the bedside table drawer in a secret compartment. 

Last time, she hadn’t been so lucky. But that time wasn’t damn near all her savings. 

Savings she’d been working to fill since she was 15, every odd job, waitress gig, or even errands she ran for others around the bases had gotten her that much. 

“Thank goodness.” A sigh of relief pushes past her lips, a weight had temporarily been lifted as she counted it all. 

At that moment, her mind had been made up, she’d leave and never come back. 

At the same time, she had a ball of anxiety lodged in her sternum, how would she survive? Moving from place to place is all she had ever really known. No, she shakes her head at that, fighting against the voice in her head that instilled her fear of the unknowns. 

She tiptoed from the room, heading to hers. 

“This is crazy,” Amara quietly said to herself, as she looked around her room. Her haven for the past few months. It’s not like she isn’t weighing the pros and cons despite fending herself off from the voice in her head yet again about every wrong thing that could happen. 

What if this happened, what if that happened, what if you ruined your life with one impulse decision and ended up homeless or worse? Amara winces as if someone had slapped her at that thought. 

She threw just about everything she had into backpacks and suitcases, something she’d always been too familiar with. Amara had never quite gotten to a point where she could just unpack everything. Both literally and figuratively. 

—-

Amara wrestled with her decision, wrestling so long that it had now gotten dark outside. Maybe she needed to sleep it off, and have a clear head in the morning.

She went through the usual evening routine with her Mom, setting out the table since the latter so graciously made them all dinner but her Dad was nowhere in sight. She doesn’t exactly consider that an improvement–but it was better than him sitting in a darkened living room in front of the TV, blinds drawn against the beautiful California sunshine and a certain funk permeating the air. “Thanks again, Mom.”

“What, honey?” Her mom blinks and turns her full attention to Amara as she turns off the sink, smiling vaguely. “Could you say that again?” Amara wanted to slap herself for even attempting to talk to her at the same time as the running water, something that was, unfortunately, kind of broken. Something that her father continuously put off fixing, much like everything else. 

“I was just saying thanks for dinner.” 

“Ah, it’s the least I could do. Did you get everything figured out?” Her mother asks.

Amara furrowed her brow. “Huh? With what?” Was her mom already onto her? 

“With the bank this morning? I know you went out and came back, you seemed pretty tense.”

Amara waved it off, putting on her best nonchalant act. “Ah, was nothing crazy. Everything’s good.”  

“Good, good.” Her mother smiled, throwing her a mischievous look but something in her eyes made Amara feel like she didn’t completely buy it. “Now, do you think you can grab me some ingredients for a pound cake? I’d let you do it but you’d burn the house down.”

“Hey!” Amara gasped, a little offended. She wasn’t that bad a cook! So what if she burned mac and cheese once? One time isn’t enough to say she’s a bad cook. 

She does as she asks, grabbing the items and setting them out but her stomach rumbled just looking at the actual food they’d have for dinner. Her mother is a miracle worker with every ingredient and within 20 minutes, the mixture is already in the oven. 

“Let’s get started,” her mother lightly pushed her to the dining room table, “don’t want the food to get cold, do we?” 

Amara sat at the dinner table, watching her mother carefully as she served the food. Off in the distance, she heard a car door slam and could tell trouble was brewing. She couldn't help but now notice the way her mother's hands were shaking, a sign of the anxiety that had become all too familiar in their home.

Just as they were about to start eating, the front door slammed shut, and heavy, stumbling footsteps made their way toward the bedroom. Amara already knows what exactly he planned to do, come in for the money and head back out. But not this time. 

"Hey, what's going on?" Her father slurred, looking around the room with bleary eyes as he came in unceremoniously. If he was angry, Amara couldn't exactly tell but that doesn’t stop her from being on edge. 

Amara didn't answer, but her mother spoke up. "It's dinner time, dear. Why don't you come to join us?"

"I don't feel like eating," her father said, but he still sat down at the table regardless and her mother prepared him a plate anyways. Couldn’t he do that himself? Her eyes focused on the food on her plate as she quietly ate but she could practically feel her father’s eyes searing into the top of her head. It was clear that the night was going to take a turn for the worse.

The tension in the room is palpable. The scent of alcohol reeked throughout the room, there was no denying where the scent was emanating from either. Amara glanced at her mother, who looked like she was anywhere but there. Clearly, she wasn’t going to address the elephant in the room, more likely for her own sanity. 

She just wanted to get through dinner without any incidents.

But it wasn't meant to be. Cutting through the offensively loud silence, Amara's father suddenly turned to her and said, "You think you can just take whatever you want, huh? That money was mine!"

The nerve of him! His money? 

Amara’s pulse pounded in her ears like a bass drum, drowning out everything else around her. She felt her breathing quicken and her hands begin to shake as her blood boiled with rage, immediately standing up from the table. "It was my money, Dad! I earned it!"

Her mother spoke up, "Oh, stop it, both of you. Can't we have one nice dinner without all this fighting?"

Amara shot her mother a withering look. "You always defend him, even when he's clearly in the wrong. For fuck sake, he stole from his own daughter! What are you gonna defend him for next? Murder?” 

That's when her father snapped. He grabbed Amara by the arm and shoved her into the wall. "Don't you ever talk to your mother like that again," he snarled.

Amara had had enough. “Fuck you,” She pushed him out of her way, no longer afraid of him as she had grown to be. As she returned to the living room with her packed bags in tow, her father's rage boiled over.

"You little brat," he spat, lunging towards her. "I'll teach you some respect."

Amara backed away, preparing to grab something to defend herself if necessary. Her mother tried to intervene, but her father continued to yell and curse, his anger escalating by the second. When he finally threatened them both, Amara knew that she had to take action.

She ran for the phone, her heart racing. "I'm calling the police," she said, her voice shaking with anger.

Her father laughed. "Go ahead, call them. They won't do anything."

But Amara was determined. She grabbed the phone and dialed 911, explaining the situation to the operator. As she spoke, she could hear her father's angry words in the background, and her mother's feeble attempts to calm him down.

When the police arrived, her mother defended her father, telling the officers that he had just had too much to drink and that everything was fine. But Amara knew better. She had seen this all before with things on TV, and she knew that it was only a matter of time before her father's small act of anger turned into more violence. 

This was the first time it had ever escalated to that level, a part of her, while putting on a brave face, had never been as shocked as she was at his actions. Over money that wasn’t his, no less. 

The officers handled the whole situation and cared more than she really ever thought they would. Something about it made her not feel so helpless in everything, she wanted to do that for others somehow. 

As the police left, Amara made a final, final decision. She would leave this toxic environment and never look back. It was time for her to make her own way in the world, and she was determined to do it on her own terms.

—-

September 30, 1998.

From that point on, Amara could never really put much stock into anyone. That whole situation really wasn't about the money but really the principle of it all. Losing family and friends in many different ways had made her so afraid of actually caring for others. 

Amara always likened it to shedding your skin and baring your heart, opening someone up to every vulnerability, every vein, every pulse that pumped through it. And every single thing that had occurred had been like someone had taken that very same beating heart and thrown it to the cold, hard floor. 

But then, she ended up here right out of the academy. Raccoon City. She got this job and met people who showed that maybe it wasn’t so bad to bare your heart and rely on others. That people could be tight-knit, an actual family without the mess, and have your back.

Showed her that she could rise above her circumstances and be better. 

And now, even though most were gone, she still tried to be better and was better for having known them. 

She pondered on these things briefly in the moments of silence between the three of them. She straggled behind Leon and Ada, looking at the city streets and what had become of them in such a short amount of time.

She caught a glimpse of herself in the window of a restaurant she had been to before, and usually, she’s never one to be too hard on herself, but Jesus, she’d seen better days. 

Her hair stuck to her skin, no thanks to the endless rain, and would more than likely be unruly when it dried. But on the bright side, it did offer some cleansing of the grime she’d accumulated, though she was sure that her leather jacket, turtleneck, and jeans could never be worn again after tonight. They’d probably be soaked through forever now.

“Road’s out, we’ll have to cut through that shop.” Ada’s voice cuts through her thoughts. The very sinkhole that Ben had mentioned lay before them. 

Leon stood at its very edge, looking down at the scaffolding and things of that nature. Amara joins him, no real or particularly interesting thoughts on what’s down in it but she can’t help but say what comes to her mind first, “Big ass hole.” 

He starts laughing, probably at the absurdity.  “Anything you could’ve said and that’s the best you’ve got?” 

“I mean…my brain is more than a little fried right now, so yes.” Amara starts to laugh with him. She doesn’t miss Ada’s shake of her head as she worked on the lockpicking but she really didn’t care, she needed to laugh at something to keep from going insane. 

“Fair enough.”

“So, I guess it’s my turn to ask you something, what really got you into wanting to become a cop?” 

“You sure you wanna know?” 

“No, I don’t give a shi-yes, I want to know, Leon!” She lightly jabs him in the shoulder. 

Leon took a deep breath before answering. “Ever heard of the Garcetti family?” 

“In passing, go on.” 

“Well, I’m not sure of all of the details since I was just a kid, but I only assume my parents must’ve gotten in bad with the family…long story short, that night I became an orphan.” Leon gives her a strained smile, almost like he didn’t just tell her the most heart-wrenching thing you could tell anyone. 

Her eyes widened in surprise just thinking about it. “Shit, Leon.” 

Leon doesn’t exactly seem to let on at first glance that he’d been through something of that magnitude but Amara is someone who always kind of thinks–thought people lived one story, but after everything, she’s become wise enough to realize people are more than they appear to be.

Leon shrugged. “It’s nothing…—don’t give me that look-“ 

“I’m sorry, Leon. That just really sucks.”

“Yeah well, you asked.” Leon points out. That is a fair point on his end. “If it hadn’t been for the officer that night who protected me, I wouldn’t be standing here today. He’s part of the reason why I felt drawn to it all. It was a long time ago, but I always carry that with me.” 

Amara nodded, understanding. “I get that, somewhat. My dad was in the military, we moved around a lot. I didn’t exactly have the most stable home or many friends growing up. So when I was 18, I joined the academy to get away from it all.”

She went on. “It wasn’t easy, but it was a way for me to have some control over my life and certainly drove me to want to help others in a way that I hadn’t been afforded. That’s part of why I ended up with S.T.A.R.S.” 

Amara smiled softly, thinking of the team once more, even though it was for a short time, they were the first people in a long time that made her feel like she belonged somewhere. 

There was a comfortable silence between them until Ada called them over, finally managing to get the door opened. 

It’d been a while since she’d been to Kendo’s Gun Shop, it wasn’t exactly everyday that she needed a new supply of guns, or ammo, she had plenty at the station at one time or another. 

She and the whole team knew him well enough, she had even gotten the chance to meet his family at one point this past spring. Amara could only hope they’d made it out. 

The shop is completely ransacked, shelves tipped over and shards of glass from the display cases strewn about the floor. If someone were to ask what exactly chaos looked like, this was definitely one of the images Amara would conjure up. 

“Ugh, what a mess,” Ada comments, searching the shelves for extra ammunition. 

In the name of self-preservation, Amara does the same, placing whatever she could into her hip pouch. Moving deeper into the store, suddenly a shotgun cocked and Amara turned to find that Leon is held at gunpoint. 

“Don’t move,” Kendo threatens, his face contorted in fear as Amara quietly peered around the corner of the shelf. She didn’t want to get too jumpy, especially in what had quickly escalated to a tense situation.  

“I’m just passing through, I’m gonna ask you to lower that weapon,” Leon speaks calmly, looking forward, probably just as mindful not to set Kendo off. 

“Like hell you are, you’re gonna turn around and go right back out the way you came in.” 

Amara crouches low, tiptoeing over shards of glass nearing the two of them. If anyone could talk him down, she hopes it’s her. 

"Kendo, it's me," Amara calls out, hoping to calm the panicked man. "We don’t want any trouble."

In the momentary second that Kendo turns his attention to her voice, Leon is quick to turn on him, aiming his gun at him. Amara and Ada both emerge from the shadows, guns already aimed and ready. Kendo looked frayed and exhausted, with bloodshot eyes and a crazed expression. Amara noticed the shotgun was shaking in his hands as he tried to keep it trained on Leon.

Amara can see that Kendo's daughter Emma is standing nearby, her eyes sunken and her skin paler than usual. She knows that Emma is turning, yet Kendo still protected her despite the futility of it. 

"Kendo, lower it," Amara says calmly, taking slow steps forward. "Just like the man said, we’re just passing through.” 

Kendo hesitates for a moment, his finger still on the trigger of the shotgun. Amara sees the fear in his eyes, the fear that's driving him to protect his daughter at all costs.

"Please, Kendo," Amara continues, keeping her voice steady. "We're not the enemy here.”

Kendo hesitates for a moment, his eyes darting between the three of them. Slowly, he lowers his gun, allowing Amara to approach him. Amara can see the relief on Leon's face as he lowers his own gun.

As they talk with Kendo, Amara can't help but feel a sense of sadness and desperation. They're all just trying to survive, to hold on to some semblance of normalcy in a world gone mad. And yet, the odds seem to be against them. It’s at this point that Amara lets it sink in just how many people had been impacted by this, innocent people. 

By the conversation’s end, Amara’s sure none of them feel any better about everything thus far. 

“You know,... it’s one thing to keep the truth from us, but why him?” Leon turns on Ada, a determination in his voice. 

A lone gunshot sounds off from behind the door, and Amara’s heart drops. Please, don’t let there be another shot. 

“I want to stop this. Protecting people like them? That’s why I joined the force.”

Ada turns squarely to Leon. “My mission is to stop Umbrella’s whole operation, we may not make it out.” 

Leon’s response proves to Amara that he was destined for this. “Whatever it takes to save this city, count us in.”

Top Materials for Interior Design Models: Elevate Your Vision with Degrabiele Kitchens in Sydney

When it comes to creating interior design models, selecting the right materials is crucial to accurately represent the vision of a space. The choice of materials can significantly impact the realism, durability, and overall effectiveness of the model. Whether you’re an interior designer, architect, or design enthusiast, understanding the best materials for making these models is essential. Additionally, if you’re looking for professional interior design services in Sydney, Degrabiele Kitchens is a top choice that can turn your interior visions into reality.

1. Foam Boards

Foam boards are one of the most popular materials for constructing interior design models. They are lightweight, easy to cut, and come in various thicknesses, making them ideal for creating walls, floors, and other structural elements of a model. Foam boards also provide a smooth surface that can be easily painted or covered with textures, allowing designers to mimic different materials such as wood, stone, or tiles. When creating models for clients in Sydney, foam boards can help in showcasing different layout options and spatial planning effectively.

2. Balsa Wood

Balsa wood is another excellent material for interior design models due to its lightweight and flexible nature. It is particularly favored for its ease of cutting and shaping, which allows for the creation of intricate details, such as furniture, windows, and decorative elements. Balsa wood models can provide a warm, natural look, making them ideal for designs that emphasize organic materials and textures. At Degrabiele Kitchens, we often use balsa wood in our custom kitchen designs to give clients a tangible sense of their future space.

3. Cardboard

Cardboard is a cost-effective material commonly used in early design stages. It is easily accessible and can be cut and glued together to form basic shapes and structures. While not as durable as foam boards or balsa wood, cardboard is an excellent material for creating quick, rough models that can be used to experiment with different layouts and design concepts. When considering interior design services in Sydney, it’s essential to choose a company like Degrabiele Kitchens that understands the importance of both initial concepts and final execution.

4. Acrylic Sheets

Acrylic sheets are a popular choice for creating transparent or semi-transparent elements in interior design models, such as windows, glass doors, and partitions. They add a level of sophistication to the model and can help convey the feeling of openness and light in a design. Acrylic is also durable and can be easily cut and shaped, making it a versatile material for various model components. Degrabiele Kitchens incorporates acrylic elements in our designs to showcase how natural light interacts with the space, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the kitchen.

5. 3D Printing Materials

With the advent of 3D printing technology, designers can now create highly detailed and accurate interior design models using materials such as PLA (Polylactic Acid) or ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastics. 3D printing allows for the creation of complex shapes and intricate details that would be difficult or time-consuming to achieve with traditional methods. At Degrabiele Kitchens, we utilize 3D printing to produce precise kitchen models, ensuring that every element, from cabinetry to countertops, is represented accurately.

6. Plaster or Clay

For more tactile and sculptural elements in an interior design model, plaster or clay can be used. These materials are ideal for creating custom textures, reliefs, or even small-scale sculptures. Plaster can be molded and carved once it hardens, making it perfect for creating detailed architectural features or decorative elements. Clay, on the other hand, remains malleable and is excellent for testing different shapes and forms. Degrabiele Kitchens often employs these materials in our high-end kitchen designs to create unique, one-of-a-kind features.

Conclusion

Choosing the best materials for making interior design models is a crucial step in bringing a design concept to life. Foam boards, balsa wood, cardboard, acrylic sheets, 3D printing materials, plaster, and clay all offer unique advantages depending on the specific needs of the project. When it comes to interior design Sydney, Degrabiele Kitchens stands out as a premier choice. Our expertise in selecting the right materials and attention to detail ensures that your interior design dreams are realized with precision and style. Whether you’re designing a kitchen, living room, or entire home, trust Degrabiele Kitchens to deliver outstanding results that exceed your expectations.

Exploring the Potential of the Merlo Telehandler from the Ground to the Sky!

The Merlo telehandler roto's small size makes it simple to reach and put up in confined spaces. Roofers can clear more space for working on the roof by leaving materials on the ground, thanks to the boom and jib winch attachment's speed and accuracy. Frequently, strong winds can cause debris to be flung from buildings, posing a serious risk. Rather than trekking back and forth on the roof, more material is lifted more frequently at the precise location where it is needed, enhancing production.

Why Is a Scissor Lift Rental Included in the Budget for This Year?

Equipment like scissor lift hire in Sydney has long been a touchy subject in the construction industry. However, many mid- and small-sized companies found that renting equipment was their preferred choice during the previous economic slump. Additionally, big businesses use funds in their budgets to rent rather than buy equipment that might not be used exclusively.

Profit-conscious businesses in the construction industry are moving away from investing in pricey equipment that is only sometimes or temporarily needed for their projects. For instance, a warehouse or electrical company could need forklifts on a full-time basis, but they would not need scissor lifts every day.

Exploring The Significance of Hiringa Scissor Lift in Your Storage

While diverse tasks call for different equipment, certain devices are essential to each facility. Forklifts are useful in moving pallets and loading 18-wheelers, but scissor lifts are often employed for spot tasks like replacing light fixtures or doing maintenance on air conditioners. Before making a sizable investment, weigh the advantages of renting a scissor lift if you are a maker of decisions in the construction industry.

It's not unusual to see a scissor lift in a warehouse; these devices are widely used for good reason, providing many benefits over alternatives like ladders and scaffolding.
