I ended up nailing the new assistant at the College infirmary, so it wasn't a total loss. Oh, and less I forget, they both took me back later, at the same time, without telling each other. It is a wonder I'm still alive. In an effort to keep that going, I took us to the non-blooded gym this time around.

It wasn't as nice as the full-blooded one, but it was still very full service. The biggest difference I had noticed earlier was the lack of archaic weapons on the wall near the training mat. Yasmin and I decided on a 40/20 split - forty minute of working out and twenty minutes on the mats. Around 5:30 pm, Felix showed up. Like me, he automatically drew attention and he'd clearly been cultivating his aura.

He barely spared me a glance, being absolutely confident he had the advantage in every aspect of our contest - both physically and socially. Within minutes a subliminal ripple moved through the crowd. I was spotting Yasmin so it took me a bit to figure out what was going on - full-blo

    "We'll check up on any family attorney you may have had along with probating your father's Will, if he had one," Nicole assured me."As for the authorities, let's see what kind of warrants they are asking for before we move beyond a 'denial' defense.""Denial, as in me claiming I didn't do anything because, ya know, I didn't do anything," I gave her a sleepy smile. "How about we eat first?"We ordered, drank our coffee, tea and juices while remaining largely non-communicative. It wasn't until the food began arriving did I realize I'd 'misplaced' Pamela once more. As I tore into a big slab of ham, I looked over my surroundings for the first time. I gave myself a mental pat on the back when I spotted Pamela then the 'big picture' kicked me in the nuts.Pamela was dressed as a server, coasting about the room, filling drinks, getting appetizer and performing the tedious little chores that waiters and waitresses had to pull off flawlessly. The other wait-staff noticed Pamela, but since she

    From time immemorial, male kin of the flesh and spirit had piled their corpses one upon the other, refusing the verdict of combat for the sake of brotherhood and every imaginable ideal. It was hardly a trait worth sharing with the sisters. They would understand the pieces; not the result. My lack of political ability would not be disability. I simply had to learn to fight – a lot better than I did at that moment.The echoes of this message inside my head, the chilled air that filled my lungs and balance restored to my heart was bizarrely unfrightening. It would be an affirmation of the 'first directive' oaths all the houses had sworn. It wasn't my place to raise all the 'Runners', or even a single one. It was my duty to initiate the 'Worthy', no matter their number.My actions were mine. I would not shame the other houses. I would not consider their prestige at all. It was not my place in the same way it was not their place to tell me what I could and couldn't do. It was a divine 'Go

    I hit the small hotel fitness center with Mona, the fourth member of Rachel's team. It helped. What helped more was the constant reminder that I worked with smart people. Mona's mother was dead as well, killed on an undisclosed mission with the SD when she was ten. She could understand my sense of grief and confusion.We didn't cry and hug. It wasn't something she could do with a man. Give a decade, or two and she might come around. Instead,"Thank you for Constanza," Mona said quietly to me as we exited the center."I measure a person's life in the lives we save...as well as the ones we take," I enlightened her.Before that moment, I didn't really consider killing people to be all that praiseworthy an endeavor. Today I had been in a situation where my life had been in immediate danger. I was glad the other guy ended up dead. Since I was prepared to keep acting stupidly, I was grateful for those who would murder people so that I could remain both noble of purpose and alive."She is cl

    There was a long hiccup in the conversation. Rachel and Esmeralda had both been right, but Esmeralda had been 'more' right. For Esmeralda, it was another awakening. It was unlikely that she was in Security Services, so her 'expertise' wasn't combat.Different from other secret societies, every Amazon was taught to think tactically. A security detail guarding a Head of House had just validated her opinion, and in front of a Head of a First House. That had to be especially satisfying."Where are we going, Tiger Lily?" I asked my driver. Esmeralda gave me a curious look. I shrugged."We are going to the Hotel Burnham," she informed me. Groan."You do know that the Hotel Burnham is nowhere near the town of Burnham, right?" I sighed."Then why do they call it the Hotel Burnham?" Rachel rebounded."The hotel is named after the famous Daniel Burnham, not his far less famous cousin, Telford Burnham, who founded my home village," I related the elementary school facts."I suppose we should have

    "We won't know everything until the discovery phase of the prosecution's case," he politely answered."It keeps getting better," I sighed. "They have nothing because there is nothing. As far as I know, my Father never fired a gun in his life.""I'm not a gun-runner. I'm not a runner of any kind. I'm a cyclist. I've never been arrested for anything. I'm pretty sure my Dad never was. All my wages in sin were earned through my philandering ways. When sex is involved, I can be incredibly deceptive," I told him. "Outside of sex, I've never seen the point.So you don't know me and you don't know what's going on yet you assume I'm guilty - thus in need of your services. I have proven I don't need someone who knows less about this shit than I do. You can go out there, find out what I'm charged with and what evidence they have, proving your worth, or you can get lost. Either way, good day, Mr. Pratt," I yawned.Off went Lawyer Pratt and down my head went on the table for a bit of a nap. They h

    This time, by unspoken agreement, the two talkers were exercising their tactical acumen as they began withdrawing toward the exit. With the short range, width of the hall and lack of cover, being shot at by a shotgun, or a .357 didn't make much difference. I was trying to jump onto the gurney and launch myself at the two when my toe caught on the bottom of Dad's body, turning my heroic rush into a face-plant on Father.The men's cover fire worked on Lisa and Horace. Lisa, being more exposed, had to dive flat. Horace crouch-ran to Rachel. Rachel, with her submachine gun, was firing a steady stream of bullets from between the gurney's top surface and bottom shelf. Her shots shattered shotgun guy's shins and blasted off his knee caps.As that bastard screamed and toppled forward, Rachel emptied the magazine into both his thighs and his right hip. By the copious nature of the blood spray, an artery had been clipped, if not severed. Horace grabbed the back of my jacket and yanked me off th
