    Handler. She allowed the sound to dance on her lips. She raised her finger and touched her lips to feel the vibration. She smiled. The term had been adopted somewhere along the line for reasons she didn’t know; however, she understood the implications of it very well. When Iron Stake had been placed into service, positive control had been maintained by the explosive device inside of her. The device was state-of-the-art in the mid-1940’s when it had been designed, but with technological advances, the device had been quickly replaced with even better technology.
    Better technology meant the device was replaced every five years or so.
    “Boom,” she said and she splayed her arms in front of her. “Boom…boom.” She liked bombs. Bombs were good ways to get your target. You didn’t have to be right on top of them to use a bomb, just close enough. Like in horseshoes and hand grenades.

She felt a warm smile come to her face as she thought about those missions and her thoughts drifted back to the explosive device.
    The controlling device became smaller and more complex with every replacement and the current range of the tracking device was virtually worldwide. Which meant the ability to detonate the device was also possible anywhere in the world, so any attempt by the creature to escape was useless.
