VOID

You know the painful thing about discoveries? It's when the signal's there and you're still out of range.

The room reeked of copper and fear. I filled the doorway and leaned one shoulder against the frame, the wall taking my weight. I rolled a cigarette to the corner of my mouth, thumbed the lighter, and watched sulfur bloom. The whole time, I kept my eyes on him.

He kept his head low, not bothering to look at me.

"Still no luck?" For someone that'd been chained for two days, his voice still had spine.

I drew in, held the smoke long enough to remember why I liked the burn, then let it go slowly. My gaze mapped him like a cartographer—from his hands strung high to the ceiling, to his naked body dangling, his feet not reaching the floor.

He was the exact way he'd been when his mama birthed him. Blood and all. Only this version came with edits in bruises and burns.

"I'm hungry, brother." He shook his head. "I thought you were rich. How come all I get is a teabag?"

    She yelled words that made no sense. Not immediately."She's my little girl!"Her hands dropped from surrender.Something cold hit me."She was taken from me." The sentence cracked in the middle. "They never let me have my little girl to myself. Everything... Everything I did was for her. To avenge her!"Tears ran in bright lanes down her cheeks. She raked her nails along her hairline like she was trying to unzip the pain and climb out of it.Ice-cold rage flooded my veins. I squeezed the gun tighter. "If you don't start talking you'll have your tears swapped for something red."She sagged into the nearest chair. Snot shined at her upper lip which she swiped away with the back of her hand."They made me a surrogate. That witch Gretchen was barren and couldn't have her own child. Her pathetic husband was desperate and forced himself on me. Gretchen was damn mad when I got pregnant. But she was all about public face. So, they kept me hidden, she faked a belly, and the world congratulate

    VOIDAnother dead end.I kicked the table hard enough for files and cords to spill to the floor.Katya carded her fingers through her hair, a sigh slipping out."I'm sorry, boss. But we'll keep looking. All hands are on deck, I promise."Now that statement was pissing me off. "All hands have been on deck for a week. Should I fetch the whole harbor now?"I fought to keep my calm. I rolled a cigarette to my mouth but my lungs filled with smoke, not calm.We've checked the airports. Nothing. The train stations, failure too. Most of the cameras in the train station hadn't been working—stupid dumb people. But we checked the few we could and there was still no sign of her. We even checked their passenger lists.I've had my hands on every surveillance piece I could. I've done every fucking thing I could. Why was it so hard to find her?"Someone somewhere must be lying." I leaned against the wall, taking drags from my stick."That's possible. Only problem is we don't know who. Everyone cl

    RALI'You're getting better at this,' Blayne said, his cock still stuck in me. 'I guess practice makes perfect is an accurate phrase afterall.'Beside him, his friend stroked his dick. It was rock hard already. His eyes were half-lidded with lust.'I need her here, Blayne,' he breathed.'Nah. I told you to excuse us if you couldn't take it. You didn't pay for her. You not getting her.''This is about fucking money? How much do you want?''A hundred.''Hundred grand!?''You'd be foolish to think I meant bucks.''Seriously, that's crazy money.''Well, the situation is urgent. You can go fuck yourself if you don't have it.'The whole time, I stayed seated across his lap, my legs balanced on either side of his chair. He hadn't asked me to move yet, so I had to stay still.His friend hissed. 'Fine. Get her over here.' He stroked his dick harder.Blayne laughed as he clapped my ass. 'Get your pussy over there, Rali. It's about to bring me more money.'Rising from his leg, his cum leaked

    I followed the woman to a small house not too far from the restaurant. It was a detached little unit, the stucco crazed with hairline cracks telling you exactly how long it had been standing."I see you came afterall. Thought you'd keep walking till a burger fell from heaven and slapped you in the mouth," she threw at me, dropping her grocery bags and patting every pocket for keys.I rubbed my palm against my arm, glancing around. The place looked quiet and calm. It should be safe.She opened the door and waited for me to go in first. The house smelt of camphor and lemon polish, with a shy line of yesterday's tea underneath. Nothing here was modern: a low glass table wore a crocheted doily, the floral sofa had faded to the color of old postcards, and the sideboard held family photos in cloudy frames. The curtains were thin and sun-bleached with light coming in gentled. Everything was scrubbed and arranged with care carefully applied where money wasn't."Sit. I'll get the soup heated be

    RALIIt was too cold.Not the kind of cold that wind makes, but the kind that blooms under the skin, bone-deep, as if the body knows it doesn't belong anywhere.I had a sweatshirt on, the one I'd stolen from some stranger's backyard. But it felt thin as air. I folded myself smaller in the corner, my arms hugging my ribs, my eyes scanning the crowd for a weak link. Someone careless enough to lose a wallet.Fifteen minutes later, I had one. It pressed heavy against my pocket as I walked out of the local restaurant. The owner didn't notice me take it. Hopefully, no one did.I found my way to the busy train station, hating the brush of shoulders, the jostle of arms. Maybe it was because I stank terribly, or perhaps, I saw everyone as the ghosts of the ones I'd lost.Dead.The cleaner was dead.Claudia was dead.The other one was shot in the head.Josephine was shot in the chest and ribs. Dead."Hello, ma'am?" A tap on the counter startled me. "There's a queue behind you, please. Can I
