These were bullet points that I wrote down for a test at the beginning of my training. Maybe I should give it to Eve so that she could get a decent essay. When I thought of the text, because she had shown me in the last lesson, I could only shake my head again. Sometimes I really wondered what was going on in my best friend's head. À la espionage. I would never get over that.
I put my sticky note back on the page and flipped through the book to the index of tribal groups and subspecies. I flipped through the chapter page by page. Looked at the dates, the pictures and drawings until I got stuck with the picture of him .
Look, Gracy, the funny dog. I called it plush because it looks so plush.
Would that one sentence mock me all my life? Would I ever escape the past? I closed my eyes to check the data in my head.
Core group: Canis-Proles
Subspecies: Iuba
Ancestry: The original tribal father is believed to be a dog.

I was a little nervous when I stood in front of the imposing low-rise building of the Venator Guild. This building, which still told stories from a long-forgotten time, would be the center of my life for the next three months from today. Okay, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration, but it was exciting.I actually had to admit to myself that this building with its red brick facade wasn't really impressive, just old, maybe even a little dilapidated, but it still seemed imposing to me, simply because I knew what was hidden behind the wide wooden doors: The dream of my future.Seth groaned behind me and let his annoyed gaze slide down the street under his brown hair. "Finally, here it comes."The other four boys made noises in agreement.For almost twenty minutes we stood here with our legs in the stomach and waited for our straggler Devin, who was now walking towards us with hasty steps.We had agreed yesterday that we would all be here together. Ok
"So, there we are all." Jilin leaned back in her chair and looked over us. He got stuck on me. “And lo and behold, the feminine note under the rough masculinity. A rarity. Grace Shanks, if I'm not mistaken? "I nodded. "Yes I am."“I've heard a lot of good things from you, even got a letter of recommendation from your mentor Noelle Keiper. You should be his best apprentice. ""Yes, I'm pretty good at what I do."The corner of her mouth twitched. "You don't seem to be lacking in self-confidence." She let her hand wander over the folder until she pulled mine out of it. “With your grades, they would have kissed you over at the government offices. We mostly get the difficult cases that don't want to stick to the rules. So why did you end up here? You don't seem like a troublemaker. "Did she realize that the boys had nothing on their ears and could hear their every word? "I wanted to come here." When I faced her haunting gaze, I felt
“He may be a little difficult, but he respects me and follows my instructions even when he doesn't want to. Just don't let his manner scare you off, then he can teach you a lot. ”She tapped her finger on the desk. "It's up to you, I give you the choice."Which was probably more than other interns got. Was it because of something like women's solidarity? "What about you? Can't you train me? You certainly have a lot on your chest, otherwise you certainly wouldn't be sitting there. "That made her smile. “Thank you and yes, I have a lot on my mind, but you wouldn't be happy with me. After a spuma tore off my left leg, I no longer go outside. Even if I miss the hunt sometimes, with the prosthesis I am no longer fit enough for it. "When I was still thinking about her words, Max appeared in the doorway. "What is there?""Just a moment." She looked back at me. "So how do you decide?"Clearly, there was only one answer. "I'll try with hi
With that I must have found my target object. Let's go. I started moving directly towards him, but he just ran past me as if he hadn't seen me, he was so absorbed in his phone call. Great.I followed him, circled him and stood directly in front of him. "Hey, I'm ...""I'll make a phone call, in case you haven't noticed!" He snapped at me and just went on to his car. "Just such a stupid brat," I heard him say into the phone as he unlocked his car and swung behind the wheel.Oh no, no way. I wouldn't let myself get rid of that easily, he could forget that.I was at the car in three steps, threw open the door and swung myself into the passenger seat. It took me a moment to organize my feet as the whole footwell was full of trash. Old food packaging, cans, bottles, empty cigarette boxes, paper. It gave the impression that he wanted to open his own dump here - that was really disgusting. The overflowing ashtray in the dash didn't look much better either. And t
I'm talking, you shut up," Reese ordered as he rang the doorbell next to the Miehe family name tag.I crossed my arms over my chest and refrained from saying anything. Slowly the guy really got on my nerves. How incompetent did he think I was?While we had to wait, I looked around a little. We were standing in front of a single-family house, a new building in the best part of town. Clearly someone lived here who earned a good income and also placed great emphasis on order and maintenance. Each bush was precisely trimmed, each flower explicitly in its designated place. Even the lawn was so precisely straight that one might believe that the individual stalks would not dare to grow too long in order not to spoil the overall picture.Until the front door opened, Reese had to ring one more time and then wait patiently. He didn't get angry, as I would have expected from him and even put on a friendly smile when the door was opened by an older gentleman. My God, I woul
Now it was time to do something, because even in the age of the proles it was against the law to shoot a gun in town. Just what should i do?"These critters will still wish they were never born!""No, please, that is not necessary, I just wanted to ask ...""No ?!" He looked at me in disbelief. “Do you want to protect these beasts? Are you one of those fanatics who give monsters a right to life ?! I should shoot you too! You are …"Shit, that got completely out of hand. "No, I don't belong to those people.""... just as bad as these man-eating beasts who ..."He wasn't even listening to me."... women and children eat because a mad scientist somewhere ..."I looked around looking for help, but it was just Reese at the neighbor's. Of course he had already noticed us through the screaming, but I didn't expect any help from him."... has experimented with things that he has no idea about and who is allowed to p
I rose carefully and let my gaze wander carefully through the garden. Everything seemed normal, but the red spot at my feet spoke a completely different language. Something was wrong, it was like a vibration in the air that I could feel in my bones. And when I remembered that no one had opened the front door, I got a really bad feeling.By now it would have made the most sense to let Reese know, but there didn't seem to be any proles in this garden. And if I was wrong about the stain, then I should feel his condescension again and I didn't want that. I wanted to prove that I wasn't worthless baggage, that I was good for something and that he had to see that it wouldn't be a waste of time to accept me as a real intern.I hesitated for a moment, but then I gave myself a jerk and went deeper into the garden. I would just take a quick look around and maybe take a look through the window into the house. Then I would certainly have more knowledge to present to Reese.
My jaw dropped smoothly. "What do you care about my bust size? I'm not asking about the length of your… "Okay, the fact that I was blushing now didn't speak for me. "You know," I muttered softly into my non-existent beard, hoping he hadn't understood."You are welcome to pretend, I have no reason to be ashamed of myself, on the contrary and hey, while we're on the subject," he half turned to me and completely ignored the traffic, which was in me caused some panic. "If you feel like a number, you can certainly talk about it. I don't have to look at you. "Well tell me what was going on in his head? "Do you still have them all? How did you get the idea that I would get into bed with something like you? I've never seen that before and if you think that I need it so much that I… ”I fell silent when suddenly something became clear to me. "You don't mean that at all, you just want to disgust me." Stubbornly, I crossed my arms over my chest. “But you
