Walking toward her was a tall man wearing gray slacks, a white shirt, and a gray vest. He was walking with a jet-black cane that matched his shoes. As he walked closer, she could see he was wearing a type of glasses that looked more like something you would find at an optometrist's office than on a person.

She noticed that the only weapon he wore was what appeared to be a sawed-off shotgun in a holster on his right hip. He didn't smile as he approached her, and he looked fucking hot. His blond

    The door closed behind her and Midnight barked in greeting. "I knew that fucker was Keanu," she said to him. "Okay, let's get back for the raid, boy."Aria led Midnight to the waiting elevator and they entered the car. She punched the code into the keypad, and soon the opposite side of the elevator opened. Unlike the last time she was here, she walked out into a large lobby. Women were entering and exiting the door that led to the street. Others were in small groups talking, and still others were going about their own business."I was hoping you'd get back in time," Savannah said.Aria hadn't seen her when she exited the elevator, but was happy to see a familiar face. "Do you know the weapon from earlier?""Yes, I do," Savannah said. "We have to walk and talk."She grabbed Aria by the wrist and started leading her toward the far side of the lobby, where a doorway of swirling colors awaited their arrival."The weapon is level 20," Aria said."I knew it was amazing!" Savannah said. "Now

    The flickering fluorescent lights on the ceiling, along with the hum of electricity, bugged her every time she set foot in the hallway. Aria wondered if maybe there was a fix-it shop, and she could hire a handyman to come fix the lights. He could probably give the walls a new paint job and color while he was at it; the gunmetal gray on the concrete block just screamed prison.Aria walked quickly to the shiny metal door of her apartment, Midnight barking excitedly to be home. The door opened and she walked right to the pulsing blue circle, setting the rifle in the middle and moving to the terminal. She signed in, tapped Identify, and was surprised by the message that filled the screen.This weapon belongs to the Sisters of Silence. Would you like to verify membership?After several seconds she was given a simple choice: Yes or No. She tapped yes and the screen changed.Press your palm on the scanner.She followed directions and pressed her palm to the scanner. Aria watched a thin light

    Her words took Aria by surprise, and she wasn't sure she'd heard them right, but before she could ask Savannah to repeat herself, Savannah took her by the hand and practically dragged her down the hallway until they arrived at the only door — which looked like an old bank vault. The circular door was enormous, easily fifteen feet in diameter, with hundreds of gears visible behind a transparent cover."That's a really cool fucking door," Aria said.Savannah started spinning a small dial. Her fingers worked quickly, and soon Aria heard a click. Savannah spun the large wheel, and slowly a section of the hallway began to retract."Wait, the vault door is just a decoy?" Aria asked."It has a dual purpose," Savannah answered. "Anyone able to crack the combination will gain access to a small horde of credits and items, which will hopefully deter them. It will also trigger several traps and silently alert all Sisters of Silence members.""Is being a safe cracker a profession?" Aria asked as S

    Hovering by the curb was something that looked like a mechanical dolphin. The machine was made of metal and covered in gears that spun as the tail moved up and down. She wasn't sure how the vehicle hovered, because the movement of the tail wasn't it."Hello, Aria," a red-headed woman called from where she sat on a saddle on the dolphin's back. She held reins connected to a bridle in the machine's mouth. "I'm Carmen, and I'm here to bring you back to the guild hall."Carmen had her hair pulled up in a bun on top of her head, with dark glasses resting on her forehead. She wore black and copper striped slacks and a short copper waistcoat. Under the waistcoat was a white shirt whose long sleeves were hidden by copper-colored gloves that went up to her elbows. Her boots looked more combat style than not, but they had cogs covering them that moved when she moved her feet.Aria turned her attention to the workings of the dolphin and didn't immediately see Carmen's extended hand. She stepped

    Aria stretched in her bed and was greeted by a friendly lick on the face. She knew who the culprit was before she even opened her eyes."Good morning, Midnight," she said with a smile. She reached up and flipped him onto his back to give him a belly rub. Midnight was happy to have his belly rubbed, until Aria stopped and gave him a snuggle before getting out of bed.She looked around the room to see if anything had changed, but everything was just as she'd left it the night before. Her new outfit was folded neatly and resting on top of her hat — even the thong. She walked over, picked up the gloves, and put them on before heading to the bathroom.Before she started the shower, she looked at her reflection with the gloves on and smiled at the noticeable change to her figure. She smiled again when she thought of meeting Ramboli and Wilber and whether they would notice. As she considered the encounter, she wondered if they benefited from charisma-altering clothing too.What if Ramboli wa

  • The Zombie System: Rise of the Gunslinger    The Clearance Rack

    The elevator car descended to the bottom floor and she exited, hoping to find more buildings in the large area; there was still only Bella's Boutique. She skipped across the open space until she was standing in front of the door. The lights were on, and she gave the door a pull; it opened and she walked in.Aria was surprised to see that the Boutique was full of other shoppers. She stopped and turned to look back into the open space, wondering where all of them had come from."Hello, it looks like this is your first time," a woman said as she approached Aria. Aria nodded absently while the woman took her hand and pulled her gently into the shop."I'm Bella," she smiled. "I'm going to let you know how shops work here."Now that Aria was in the shop, she turned her attention to Bella and what she was wearing. Bella was dressed in a black brocade bustle skirt, a black corset, a long-sleeved white button-down shirt, and black boots that came just above her knees to show plenty of thigh. S
