man in his fine thread came up to us. His face was contorted with anger and turned all red. Alderman Thompson."You'll pay for that!" He yelled at Reese. "I will make sure that you never again ...""He just saved your son's life!" I hissed at him.“It's his fault! He has not attached any hazard warnings! "“He put it up, I saw it with my own eyes! That's why you should be grateful to him and not ... let go of me! "I snapped at Reese, who simply pulled my arm away. "What shoud that? Why don't you defend yourself when he throws false accusations around ?! "“Because it's no use. His son is badly injured and he needs someone right now to blame for it. Since I'm the obvious one. ""But this is wrong!""He doesn't care." Reese glanced over his shoulder back at Bastian and his family. Alderman Thompson looked almost distraught when he saw us after, but dared not leave his son's side.Reese maneuvered me behind

The door to the kennel hall almost slammed in my face. "Thank you too," I mumbled angrily and pushed it open again myself. Okay, Reese was mad at me, but that was no reason to break my nose by slamming the door in my face.Since I'd dared to put the gun on his chest, he was just as dismissive of me as he was this morning - maybe even worse.I mean, what was his problem? I just wanted to talk to Nick. Was he afraid I would fight his brother? Actually, I wasn't that uncertain about Reese. Or maybe it was just because he was a fool, or as Nick had said yesterday, that he liked being in control of everything.As soon as I had entered the kennel hall, the grunts and growls reached my ears. But the smell was much more overwhelming. Just like on my last visit, it stank of dirt, rot and animals. Didn't the windows open? I would have loved to hold my nose.I ran after Reese, grumbling. His bad mood had to rub off, but how can you get in a good mood with this thund

This sound that tormented my ears was not the roar of a dangerous animal, no, it was the cheering of hundreds of people who almost pissed themselves into their panties for joy as they watched the proles in the aviary tearing each other to pieces.The warehouse was full. Every seat was occupied and the people who had not been given a seat crowded around the aviary. They screamed and cheered with joy when one of the proles roared in pain. It was the unknown Simia-Proles that had been locked in the cage with three Ossas. The huge, marten-like proles attacked from all sides, tugged at the ape descendant, bit, tore until it screamed in pain and the human pack in their euphoria huddled even closer around the aviary. They pounded against the chain link fence with flat hands, cheering and cheering on their favorite.The yellow fur of the Simia prole was already red from the attacks. It had opened its eyes wide and showed the ossas the considerable teeth, but the line-like teet

Those words hit like a bomb. At first I was unable to make a single sound. Nick was in the hospital? Oh god, but ... no, no, no, that couldn't be! "What happened? Is he alright? He is hurt?"Alarmed by my tone, Domenico straightened up and the eternal smile on Evangeline's face disappeared behind a worried expression."He's fine," Reese replied calmly. "He's only a little pissed off because the cattle completely surprised him.""Cattle? What cattle? A proles? ”Oh god, something must have happened in the warehouse. "Is he ... what happened?""I don't see what that has to do with you."Oh please, not now, not on such a first topic, he couldn't do that to me! "Damn Reese, now stop this shit and tell me what about Nick!" The panic was clearly audible in my voice. Yes, it almost bordered on hysteria. But damn it, this was about my boyfriend too! And even if it wasn't, it was about Nick, Reese's little brother, the young man who stole my first kiss

My reputation was enough to get you back to the real issue. “Well, Nick was with them, but he's been released in the meantime. Since I couldn't prove that I really am his fiancée, the sister couldn't give me any exact information. But at least I know this much that the injury is not life-threatening. On the whole, he was just angry that this happened to him. ""So he's fine?" Where did my powerful voice go?Evangeline nodded. “Yes, he was given painkillers and sedatives. Reese probably drove him home then. ""Sedatives?" I frowned. "Why was he given tranquilizers?" Nick wasn't someone who was on the verge of collapse because of something like that. Or? No definitely not. The fact that he had been given tranquilizers didn't fit into the picture at all.She just shrugged. "No idea. I can only reproduce what I have heard. ""The best thing is to just call him yourself", thought Domenico and handed me my cell phone.It took me
