52 - They Made Their Choices
Three years have passed since that night, since my first real satisfaction.
What I have learned from Scott is beyond words, beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
Fighting was a completely distant memory, and something that will forever stay in my past. I didn’t need it now, my dark shadow now had an itch with only one thing to satisfy it.
I often think I should have been counting, but I hadn’t been. If I had to guess I could say I’m up to about 50 or so kills. Some have been easy, some have been fucking intense.
It is now what I live for … sure I still chase girls now and then, but I can go without for a while just thinking about my other fulfillment.
I was about to

Gifted Shadows 53 - She's Got It
I had been tracking a few douchebags who believed they were Einsteins, trying to create a bomb, nuclear level but that wouldn’t use plutonium. They believed it was possible and weren’t going to stop until they figured it out and sold their plan to the highest bidder.Scott was going to start rounding up some nerds that could attack the idea from our side, even see if it was possible. Several bad actors had already heard about the Einsteins and were already offering encouragement, to help them in any way possible, which meant rounding up the best and brightest.Unfortunately, they’re not always going to get these people to come of their own free will.“I need you to come in, I have a girl that I think can help us, at least take a look at what we have. But she’s very you
Gifted Shadows 54 - Are You Even Listening
Scott had assembled a team of mathematicians, physicists, organic chemists and more … which was impressive on short notice.“Rae is finishing up her paperwork, can you go grab her and bring her and the others up to speed, I’m deep in something here and I can’t get away,” Scott said on the phone.“Sure I love babysitting, it’s my thing,” I said.I got down to the conference room and the girl looked passed out on the table. I mean it was after 1 am and I guess she was probably normally asleep by now.I stood in the doorway watching her for a minute.“We didn’t get to meet last time, but I’m Javi.”
Gifted Shadows 55 - What Is She Doing To Me
Scott had messaged me just before Rae's little update. He wanted to tell me that this guy Edger, a scientist from Canada we had tried to recruit was missing.We agreed that a hotel wasn’t safe for Rae, so we arranged for Toby to take her to my place. I noticed she had a necklace that she never took off, and I was going to try and find a tracker small enough to put in it.Toby already had one in her phone but anyone kidnapping her would certainly dump her phone first. I went back to my laptop and made some inquiries, it seemed like nobody knew anything about Dr. Edger.But I saw something disturbing, no less.It seemed that Dr. Khan had vastly oversold her abilities, and the Einsteins cut ties with her, annoyed that she wasn’t able to p
Gifted Shadows 56 - I Hate Small Talk
It had only been an hour since I landed and I already got news there was a contract out for Dr. Khan, half a million for her safe and sound. I had a tip that they did get the Canadian I was looking for …. Intercepted at the airport on his way to D.C. … fucking great.I had Marcus doing everything possible to track down Dr. Khan and I had a few guys in the area looking too. If we didn’t get her first, it wasn’t going to be pretty.Sure, they would keep her around awhile, but if she didn’t know enough to get them further along, they’d just kill her.Weeks turned into months and I was getting nowhere, but it also seemed like the interest died down.I focused my energy on getting another mole into the Einsteins so
Gifted Shadows 57 - ... A Day With Rae
Toby had hooked Rae’s apartment up with a pretty crazy security system, and there was a camera in the kitchen that only he and I had access to. Rae didn't know it was there.I got back to my office and went right for her camera.She was dancing around the kitchen and I found myself smiling like a dork, watching her. She was actually baking something and I was mesmerised watching the ease with which she just floated around.When her food was done she jumped on the counter and ate it with milk, cookies I assumed.I never just sat and relaxed, just enjoyed my own company, I wasn't sure I was even capable of it. I always had to be moving, reading, checking on things. I was always working, and that was all I knew. I was jealous of her innocence,
Gifted Shadows 58 - Where's The Package?
For the rest of my visit home, I did everything to avoid being alone with Rae. I had Toby and Mario both coming by to watch her, and even at Christmas dinner I did everything to avoid direct conversation with her.She was getting to me, and I couldn't let that happen. Every time I thought about her, all I wanted to do was throw her against a wall and fuck her brains out. I have never been so stuck on a woman before in my life, let alone some eighteen-year-old.I had to get out of here and get back to work. Scott came to me about a guy in Venezuela that needed to go away and I was more than happy to oblige.It would be the perfect little trip to get my mind off her.Before I knew it, I had stayed away about six months … I took out a few bad guys,
Gifted Shadows 59 - Sun Burn
I pressed my lips together, trying not to show any emotion and I thought hard about what she just said.“How the fuck do you know Sun Stroke, and how do you know it’s not just some copy cat,” I said, as a matter of fact.I stared at her, but she looked defiant.“You are way too trusting Rae, Sun Stroke is in no way just one person,” I said.“So I shouldn’t trust you, believe what you say? I know who he is, he has more than proven himself to me, and he’ll prove himself to you as well. I’ve known him for years, way longer than I’ve known you. If he wanted to hurt me, he’s had chances. He actually saved me once from getting raped, was that in your fucking file about me??”
Gifted Shadows 60 - Like School Girls
The operation Corey was running was unlike anything I could have ever imagined. It was just literally mind blowing. I had always thought my office was the shit, but this blew what I had out of the water.Sure I had heard the name ... Sun Stroke, who hadn’t. But Sun Stroke was almost a mythical figure, larger than life. I had never considered Sun Stroke was only one person, I thought it had to be at least a dozen.How the hell it was possible for him to be everywhere and nowhere all at once. I couldn’t understand, until he fully let me in.We set up a profile for me on his security system, so I could come and go without him. He said he wouldn’t mind if I brought Marcus or Rae, but no one else, without his consent and of course I would respect that.
