For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Well, it has been a long time since our last update post, and so much has changed since then. Many characters have gone, and new ones have come to take their place. So, today I will give a list of all the characters and who they are and what they do or what position they hold on the team. This will be a handy reference tool for you to keep close by. Especially since not all characters show up in every story. So, let us get started.
Baldwin, he is the president of The Investigators, Inc., also the owner. Though Muffin and I started it, we sold it to Baldwin for no money, but he now pays all the bills and our wages. He is a multi billionaire with companies all over the world. He is 50 and single. He is a large man and has become a good friend of Steve.
Steve, he is the team leader and makes the final decision on cases and choosing new team members. He has been wounded many times, nearly died twice, most serious wounds were bullet wounds close to his spine. As a result he can no longer participate in things too strenuous. He needs daily massages and a drug to counteract another drug that was given him which makes him go into a “nowhere” state. He is 32, presently single but engaged to Sky.
Sky, she is fairly new but fell in love with Steve almost immediately. It happened to Steve too with Sky. She is from America, has long blond hair and blue eyes. Her blue eyes are why her mother named her Sky. She is an amazing fighter, also fast with a gun. She is 23. Due to things in her past, her family will not talk to her. Crystal, another new member, same size as Sky, also long blond hair and blue eyes, they look like they could be twins, but are not. She is also an amazing fighter and good with a gun. She is single and 25 and has no family.
Annelie, has been around longer than anyone else except Steve. She was with a criminal organization but because of her help she was given a whole new identity by the police and given freedom. She has no family. She is the tallest woman on our team at 6 feet. She is amazing with a computer and can find most any information for us. She was shot in one hip and had the other hip broken, so has had 2 hip replacements and no longer goes on cases. She is married to Rock and is 34.
Rock, the largest man on our team at 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 320 lbs. He is all muscle, a very strong man and Steve’s best friend, he is 33. Kristina, has been with us quite a while too, very good with guns of all sorts. She is fearless. She is 28 and single with no family. Angel, we found her trying to avenge the death of her friend. Her and her mother were working together, but her mother was killed. She joined our team after that and has been with us quite a while now. She is a fabulous fighter in martial arts and excellent with a gun. She is 26 and single, no family.
Sigurbjorn, from Iceland, speaks 10 languages and has an amazing memory, she just needs to read something once and she has it memorized. She is our masseur. She is strong, a good fighter and knows wilderness survival. She is 27 and single, with no family. Galyna, our counselor and advisor to Steve. She can usually tell when a person is lying or having problems that they are not dealing with. She will try to help them and if that fails she will tell me. She is 28, single with 2 sisters who will not speak to her.
Tracy, spent time in prison for drug trafficking. She was the sister of a man named Jake who had helped us many times. He asked me to give her a chance, which I did and never regretted it. She is fearless, great fighter, good with a gun, also has a great memory. She is 22, single with no family since Jake was killed. Chung, Chinese man, age 55, single. He is our doctor though no formal medical education. He can do most minor things however and does wonders with herbs and natural medicines. He is the head of our clinic.
Saranna, our medical doctor, new to the team, loyal and very knowledgeable in medicine and surgery. She is 34, single and from Canada where she still has family. Majori, our nurse, also from Canada and another very new member. She is 28, single with family in Canada and France. Carine, she helped Steve when he was in a “nowhere” state, not knowing who he was or where he came from. She is from a criminal gang but left it just prior to finding and helping me. She is 30 and married to Benson.
Benson, has been around for a while, used to be Baldwin’s driver, butler and numerous other positions. He is a big man and very strong as well. He is also 30, with family in America. Sephira, a new member, from France, she is 25, single and no family. She speaks 5 languages, and is very skilled in the outdoors. She knows an amazing number of facts about more than 100 countries. Ilda, we met her in Sweden where she was a big help on a case and joined our team afterward. She speaks 5 languages, spent time in the armed forces, is an excellent sniper and fighter. She is 25, single with family in Sweden. She is also a pilot.
Astrid, friend of Ilda, also from Sweden, was in the armed forces. She can use many weapons and is very knowledgeable about explosives. She is 25, single, with family in Sweden. Erisman, Swiss, very knowledgeable in outdoors and wilderness survival. Strong man and can use different weapons. Also an explosives expert. He is 30, single, with family in Switzerland. Walter and Crandall, two friends, new members, and mystery men.
Muffin, my cat, excellent with her slingshot and numerous other things. MC, husband to Muffin, joined us early on, first to join Muffin and Steve. Also excellent with his slingshot. Storm, Angel’s cat, is a Margay, a wildcat from South America, found in a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert. All 3 cats can understand humans and can make themselves understood to any human they want, but only do so to those they like and trust. All present members are loyal, except one. Can you guess who? I hope this helps everyone a bit to follow the characters…

Wow! That’s quite a list of team members! I will need to record and study it to see if I can help identify the traitor!

It is our biggest list yet of team members. Although Baldwin, Chung, Saranna, Majori and Annelie stay at home all the time. So that leaves us 20 active members which includes the 3 cats. Yep, keep the list close by so you can refer to it easily when you need to. π€π©πΊπΊπΊπ΅οΈββοΈ

True, you don’t need to copy it word for word, just the highlights for each person. Then it is easy to keep track of everyone as we go along. I doubt any new ones will be added for a while, but we may lose some over time. π€π΅οΈββοΈ

Maybe Annalie could do the coordinating since she kinda has an overall view of what’s happening in the field?

Quite a long list of team members, some of which I was unaware of, Who is the traitor? I do not know but would suspect on of the mystery men, However, I don’t have enough information to make the call.

Yes, our largest team yet with 25, including the cats. But 5 of them, Baldwin, Chung, Saranna, Majori and Annelie stay back at all times now, which gives us 20 active team members. We have quietly added some new members, and of course, not all will be on a case at the same time. The mystery men will be hard to figure out, not much will be known about them, at least for now. π€π΅οΈββοΈ
