LOGIN“I think you all drugged me,” Brian snapped.“So that you would see Indians in here?” Breed shook his head. “That is a stretch.“Hmmpf,” Brian grumbled as he turned his back on Breed.Greer came in and handed a recorder to Breed.Brian didn’t see or hear him come in.Breed bit at his lip to keep the smile from appearing, as yes… he truly would enjoy this. He tapped the button.“You hid my trust from me, according to Matt. Is that true?” Kizzy’s voice asked.In the cell, Brian spun back around wild eyed as he stared at the recorder in Breed’s hands.“Of course, I did,” Brian’s voice replied from the recorder.“Fine, I don’t really care about the money,” Kizzy stated. “Did you have anything to do with my parent’s death?”There was a long pause. “No. I had no reason to…” Brian faltered. “Why the hell would I do that?”Breed pressed stop then looked up at Brian. “We now know that your actions caused Kizzy’s parents to be murdered.”Brian’s eyes widened. “What?”Greer nodded. “All your do
Cowboy worked on Maverick’s chest. Breed could see Maverick fighting, not to scream at the pain from Cowboy digging out the bullet.Paige was holding Maverick down the best she could but she was sobbing as she did so.Finally, Cowboy pulled out the chunk of lead and blood was pouring from the wound. “He’s lucky, the bullet hadn’t been fatal,” he noted as he threw the bullet onto the bed and immediately plugged the hole with a towel. The blood soaked through the towel before long.Breed stepped up and asked, “What do you need?”Cowboy whipped his head around and told him, “I need a hot blade to cauterize the wound.”Breed took out his knife and a lighter then began heating the blade. As soon as it was cherry red, he handed it to Cowboy.Cowboy pressed the hot metal down on Maverick’s wound.Maverick shouted out as he bore the pain.When Cowboy lifted the blade, the wound had stopped bleeding.Maverick grimaced then looked over at Breed. “Tell me you got that fucker.” He gritted betwee
As there was no one else in the room, Slava took out a tool to jimmy the window because as sure as shit they had it locked. Finally breaking through the lock, he slowly opened the window and carefully climbed inside. Closing it quietly, he hoped no one would even know he’d come through here. Now, he had to find her and that was what he’d been hoping to avoid. He was in their domain and now, killing her wouldn’t be as easy as it was supposed to be.Slava just hoped he could finish this job and get out before they even knew he was here. That would take a lot of luck on his side and he knew anything could happen once he was inside their building. He had no choice however. He had to stop her from exposing him and that meant he couldn’t ignore this. The group would have him killed for this, if he left any witness alive. He had to get rid of this girl as she had seen his face.
Slava rested in the cave until the shadows of the coming evening crowded out the light of day. The air seemed to be changing now. If he were a fanciful man, he could almost imagine that something was watching him. Something not of this human world. Though he could not imagine what it could be.In Russia, his parents and grandparents believed in what was called the Unclean Force. Нечистая сила was both the devil and all demons and potentially harmful in Russia. Although the beings of this unclean force resided primarily in the spirit realm — тот свет, they were able to manifest themselves in this world in many forms. The most well known among the unclean force were sorcerers, witches, the undead, and the "unclean dead", including suicides, those who died of drunkenness, victims of accidents and violent deaths, unbaptized infants, and vampires. Likewise, strangers and people of other religions were viewed as possessing the unclean force.He’d heard the tales the entire time he grew up
Breed let out a sigh and stared into Paige’s eyes. If she had been here earlier she could have felt a little justice when they scared the bejesus out of Brian Williams. “Just don’t make a habit of not telling us everything. The next time, you might not have a second chance.” He looked over at Maverick. “You stay with her tonight, there might be some trouble. If that fourth man comes around, he might try to stop her permanently.”“Why do you think he’s still around?” Maverick asked. “He might know that I spotted him. You also sent men out to look for him, right? I’m not sure I would still be here if I were him.” Breed shook his head. “Well, it seems he is here and he hasn’t left, according to my tribe. So maybe you’re smarter than this guy, Mav. They say he’s awoken the Ancestors and that’s never a good thing.”“He’s done what now?” Paige frowned.“This is Cherokee land, and has been for hundreds of years. Your Russian has a bad soul no doubt and the Ancient ones don’t like it when th
Crow raised his hands up at the glare Shyla tossed at him. “Hey now. I am just the IT. Doing my job.”Breed shook his head and went back to the subject that was more urgent, “We have to watch Brian very carefully. The Elders told me they will seek out any bad spirits and will haunt them tonight. If there is anyone bad to the core, it would be that asshole.” He looked around the room. “I am told to warn you all to beware about whatever you may see or hear. But if your heart is true, you won’t be affected by the Spirits of the Ancestors.”“Are they serious?” Monster asked. “This sounds like some horror movie. I mean is a huge Jason like Indian gonna come at us with a mask and a machete—”Crow started to laugh as he stared at his buddy. “Damn man, come on!”Breed shook his head. “I doubt that but I’m just warning you guys, don’t freak out ok?”Monster shivered. “Hey, I just don’t like the sound of this. Why do we gotta have Indian spirits messing around here?”Crow tisked under his breat
Breed then looked over at Greer. “Well, you have no choice but to come as Shyla will be with us. I hope she’ll be up to the trip. The tribe can hide the children easily among the kids at the center. Some of them are even light skinned there. But we have
“Boss,” Monster called from the doorway. “We got visitors.”Breed and Greer stood from the table.“They are on horses of all things,” Monster added as he looked puzzled. “An

Shyla closed her eyes and breathed Greer’s scent in as he carried her down the hall. She expected him to carry her back to the Infirmary but when he turned left instead of right at the first corridor, her heart beat a fraction faster. “Just where are yo
