Grace
I looked at him in silence, blinked once, and tried to make sense of those words because they just couldn't mean what they said.He raised an eyebrow impatiently. "Will that still work today, or do I have to help out?"Okay, maybe the words meant exactly what they meant. "Why should I undress please? In addition, in the middle of the street while you watch? ”It was probably too good for him."Because I have to look at your wound," he replied just as pointedly. "This prole might not have been poisonous, but normal dirt is not conducive to healing either and since I saw the blood from three meters away, you can't tell me that it is just a scratch.""I've already wiped it out with a handkerchief."For that I got a really dark look.Just fantastic. I pushed my jacket to the side and pulled my shirt up over my navel. This handkerchief wasn't quite as bloody as the first three, but much redder than it should be.When Reese tried to re

Coincidence
Oh, this little one ... "I hate you!" I called out to him and stepped onto the short path that led into a courtyard between several houses. Meadow, earthy ground and a trampled path that led to the garbage cans. In the middle stood several old chestnuts, which with their spreading branches almost touched the surrounding house walls. The old foliage of recent years has gathered around its roots and has spread to the bicycle racks that are probably rarely used.I could only see all of this in the faint light of the moon, because Reese was right, it was really pitch black here. There were no lanterns and the windows of the houses facing the courtyard did not emit the slightest ray of light. All were dark. So the perfect conditions for a proles hunt. It really got better and better."Stared enough?" Came the dark shadow in the middle of the green courtyard. "Come here now."Did anything touch this man at all? I couldn't care less. Annoyed, I pounded the backpack in

Really?
Sigh. “For a change, could you talk to me like a normal person? Just to end the day? Just imagine that I am someone you like and then try again with an answer. "Reese snorted. "I've probably never met someone as penetrative as you."I was silent, waiting."Because of me. There is a guy who keeps a prole as a pet and ... ""What ?!" Was that serious? "But that …""Do you want to hear that now, or would you rather explain to me that it is forbidden. Because whether you believe it or not, I know that myself. "My mouth closed. Of course he did. As a Venator, he probably knew the laws of the prole procedure better than any lawyer. Still, I didn't like it that much."Nice." Reese turned into the street with the row houses. “Well, there's this guy who keeps a pillicula as a pet. And he once dropped a bottle of cough syrup. Little Proles freaked out. I don't know what exactly it is, but something in the cough syrup is mak

Talkitive
Our way led us to a rather deserted area at the harbor. Old warehouses were lined up close together and with their shabby facade did not look very inviting. At least the part I could see in the dim light of the few street lights. And the warehouse in front of which the car came to a stop looked even darker than all the others put together.Bare walls made of old brick on which sprayers had immortalized themselves. Senseless lettering that was a lot, but certainly not art. The sheet metal ceiling was slightly arched upwards and large gates under a roof had probably received the delivery once. All around it was growing brown grass that looked more dead than alive, and a rusted fire escape led up to the roof. The only difference to the other warehouses here were the windows. They were all fine. Okay, maybe one of them had cracks or blind spots, but they would probably be able to keep the rain out - most of it at least.In the small, shabby parking lot were several cars, o

Damn good
He had just not held a gun in front of my face! I licked my lips nervously and looked around briefly for an escape route. I discovered the other man with the many piercings on his face, who was leaning against the wall and grinning broadly at me. He made no move to help me, just watched what would happen next.With his appearance, my possibility of escape sank to zero. I might have escaped one, but two? Oh god, where did I end up here?"Hm, how about I call you Red? That suits you. ”The handsome boy changed the weapon into the other hand and took a few steps to the side to cut off any escape route for me. The barrel pointed at my forehead the whole time. He paid as little attention to his colleague as I did. “Red, all over again. What are you doing here?""Grace," I finally managed to get across my lips. My heart beat up to my neck. If I just answered and satisfied him, then maybe he would let me live. "My name is Grace, not Red.""Grace." He

Alone
This is none of your business, so stay out of it.""You can forget that. You tell me now what's going on here. "Without slowing his pace, he raised a raised eyebrow at me. "Anything else?"Yeah, I should come up with a good threat now, really quickly. Unfortunately, I've never been particularly good at that. “Otherwise I'll go to Jilin and tell her about this. You can take poison on that. ”His boss would be interested in the fact that Reese sold the proles like other people burned CDs.Reese shrugged and stopped by the car to search his pockets for the car key. "Just do it. She doesn't know how many young animals there were and if I say that there were only three, who do you think she is more likely to believe? Your top venator, or a little intern who is longing for attention? "Longing for attention ?! It was probably too good for him! "You illegally sold an unknown prole!" Okay, selling proles was illegal one way or another, but that

Care
I looked to Jilin for help, but she just shrugged my shoulders, true to the motto: If he wants to do it alone, what are you still doing here? "Okay," I said hesitantly. I absolutely didn't like being sent away. I always did my job conscientiously and never left anything until I was done. But if I resisted now, it would certainly not improve my relationship with Reese. "I'll be back here tomorrow at eight.""No," he contradicted me immediately. "You will be at my front door at eight because I will certainly not go to the guild before my shift because of you, understand?"Was he serious? Another look at Jilin showed me that she had already returned to the papers on her desk and that I had to do this on my own. "Then you have to give me your address so that I ...""You always act so smart, so find it out on your own." With that he stomped past me out of the room and I could do nothing more than watch him.I pressed my lips together in annoyance. How do I get

"What about Dom?" I got up from my seat and put the used bowl in the sink with the other dirty dishes. I should actually have to clean it up, but I just felt too tired for that. That would have to wait until tomorrow morning."Hello? Best friend? He was waiting for you to call him and tell him how your first day went. "Oh no, she was probably right about that. I sighed loudly into the phone. "I'll just send him a message that I'll get in touch with him tomorrow to tell him everything.""Well, is he satisfied with that?"“He won't have any other choice. So now I depend on you We'll hear from you again tomorrow. ""Okay, bye and don't let your coach annoy you too much.""I'll try," I mumbled into her laugh and then just hung up. Then I quickly wrote a message to Domenico that I was tired and would call him tomorrow while I crossed the kitchen and turned off the light when leaving. My next stop was in my room, where Wynn was lounging on

Resume
Whether it was so normal that an intern had to go home to his teaching coach in the morning so as not to be left out in the rain - literally, as the floodgates of heaven had decided today to drown the world - or not, now I was standing here in front of his front door, waiting for him to finally open the stupid thing so that I wouldn't drown out here on his threshold. But of course the Lord took his time. After all, it was dry inside too, so no need to rush.The area I was in was even more run down than the part of town I lived in. One apartment building huddled together here. Large prefabricated buildings that were as monotonous as the cloud-gray sky. The amount of graffiti that smeared the house walls suggested that there were gangs here. And the bars and shutters in front of the shop windows of the shops on the other side could also give rise to this thought. On the other hand, they could also simply be intended to protect against proles. That wasn't uncommon today.

Amazed, I stopped in mid-motion, so the towel hung in the air instead of loading on the table. What should that mean again? God, I've been with guys every day. With what I was doing it was just inevitable and although I thought I knew the male species humans pretty well, this guy made me feel insecure. I didn't like that."Ah, it says here you are an orphan," he said and traced the lines in front of his eyes with his finger. "Your parents were killed by proles."A painful stitch twitched my heart. That wasn't a topic I liked to talk about. "Unfortunately this is a repetitive phenomenon these days," I replied, quieter than I wanted. Sighing, I put the towel on the table.Nick closed the folder and tapped it thoughtfully on the chin. "But at least you got to know her.""You don't yours?" I leaned back, keeping my eyes on the towel."Nah." He let the folder sink into his lap. “My father ran away when he noticed that he had impregnated his wife a
