If you read my blog brain out loud you may have already seen the alternate covers for my newest Joe fanfic, GI Joe: Sandcastle Detente. If not here you go. The variant cover demonstrates the uneasy alliance the Joes have made with the Dreadnoks, with the classic "back-to-back' pose featuring Scarlett and Zarana.
Synopsis: Snake Eyes and Scarlett are enjoying a few days of rest and relaxation in beautiful Miami, Florida. But it's not the sweltering summer heat or the harmful UV Rays the Joes have to worry about. International drug-smuggling kingpin, The Headman just made his move to overthrow the established criminal element and has left a trail of bodies in his wake. Matters are complicated when the Joes bump into Zarana and Road Pig, who happened to be in the area recruiting new Dreadnoks. Fortunately, the Joe lovebirds and The Dreadnok duo come to an arrangement, but can the combustible quartet coexist long enough to take down The Headman and his army of Headhunters? Ecerpt: North Side Police Department Scarlett pulls into the parking lot of the Police Station mentioned on the morning’s news broadcast. Instinctively backing the rental sedan into the space, to make for an easier escape. She removed all her weapons, even the hidden ones, and stepped out of the vehicle. Working in an official capacity she had changed into her more practical GI Joe uniform. A form-fitting gray bodysuit under a tan leotard, with matching gloves and boots. Snake Eyes remained in civilian garb and chose to wait in the car, aware that his rubber mask was far too conspicuous to wear in a Police Station. “I’d like to speak to the lead investigator of the waterfront massacre that took place last night.” Scarlett politely asked the officer at the front desk. The officer procrastinated, tapping his pen on the unorganized desk. He shuffled papers around then took a slow sip of coffee before asking. “Do you have information about the case?” “I may.” Scarlett glared at his golden nametag, “Officer Dixon. I may have enough information to assume jurisdiction.” “Jurisdiction.” The word had caught Officer Dixon’s attention, “On whose authority?” Scarlett presented her government identification, “The United States Anti-Terrorism Unit Delta.” “Never heard of it.” A voice came from behind her. “If I make one phone call you’ll never forget it.” Scarlett threatened as she spun around. “Captain Lance Russell,” He extended his rough hand. “And you are?” “Scarlett.” The GI Joe team routinely work alongside local law enforcement in order to protect civilian lives when combat reaches a populated area. However, the unfriendly reception gave her reason to guard her identity. “You have a last name?” Captain Russell was suspicious. “Just Scarlett,” She repeated. “Well Just Scarlett,” He mocked her codename. “You can relax. It was just a gang war. Punks wearing Halloween masks.” Scarlett scoffed, “Halloween masks!” “We’ve already rounded up the suspects,” Captain Russell shot back. “You can go now.” “If you have suspects detained there should be no problem with me questioning them.” Scarlett tapped the American flag patch on her sleeve to remind Captain Russell she was with the government, “Or in letting me watch that surveillance tape.” “No chance!” Captain Russell puffed his chest out, his large stomach included itself in the gesture. “This is my jurisdiction and my men have it under control!” “The thing is. It isn’t.” Scarlett stood toe to toe with the irate officer. “This should be the Port Authority’s investigation.” “The incident took place outside our Fleet Management Warehouse.” Captain Russell forcefully pointed his finger at the floor, “This is my case!” “What were gang bangers doing killing each other outside of a police garage?” Scarlett suspected there was more to this than Captain Russel claimed. “Let the men handle this sweetie.” Captain Russell taunted. Laughter broke out when an officer in the bullpen rudely added, “Don’t want you to break a nail.” “I’m not leaving without that tape!” Scarlett was incensed by the chauvinistic remarks and disappointed in the female officers who condoned it. “How’d you like to be arrested for obstruction?” Captain Russell threatened. “If your credentials are legit the charges won’t stick. But I can delay your release for a day or two...maybe more.” “Papers are always getting lost.” Officer Dixon, at the front desk, added. At this moment Scarlett realized the officers were strategically surrounding her. Their hands close to their belts, crowded with weaponry. Her eyes darted left and right as she envisioned the melee. The room was small and cluttered with office furniture. Several opportunities presented themselves to funnel the attacking officers into a bottleneck. She was certain of her victory, despite being outnumbered and unarmed. “Is that what you want sweetheart?” Captain Russell pushed her buttons. “I’ll be back with a warrant.” Scarlett calmly walked out of the station, knowing she had the limitless influence of the GI Joe team, the Pentagon, even the President of the United States. Several officers followed her out and stood at the entrance of the station to make sure she was leaving. “They’re hiding something” She briefed Snake Eyes as she got back into the car. “They wouldn’t give me the tape.” Snake Eyes pointed his thumb to himself and snatched at the air in front of him. “No,” Scarlett started the car. “You’re not breaking into a police station and stealing evidence.” Snake Eyes raised his palms in the air and shrugged his shoulders, freezing in the position. Scarlett snickered at the overexaggerated gesture. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in her face.
