Claudia said. At nine pm the ladies were ready. Claudia was wearing a tight gold sleeveless short bareback dress with matching five inch gold heels and Miranda was wearing a long blue dress that matched her eyes. The dress had a V neck and was tight up the waist and loose at the bottom. It had a thin lace of sparkling germs which looked like stars. It also had a long slit up to her thigh. She also wore four inch blue wedges. Both of them looked glamorous.

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera. There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone. Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?" "Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious." Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"

“Take a closer look, smart ass. Sure as hell ain’t no silver dollar.” I opened my palm and examined the coin lying there. It was certainly the same circumference of a silver dollar, but sure enough, it wasn’t one. First of all, it was thicker and heavier. Also, not silver at all, but a tarnished bronze, a dull yellow. And it appeared old. Like a collectible or an antique you’d find at Handy’s Pawn and Thrift. A design was etched on both sides. I rubbed my thumb over it, peering closer. A small circle, with what appeared to be three crooked question marks spiraling around the circle.

Let him have a hard time looking for it. “Ice…” Clyde pleaded, trying not to get annoyed. “Fine.” He explained that it’s a square box that fits her hand, probably three to four inches all around. “Thanks.” Clyde thanked him and immediately left. Ice’s lip twitched. It was brown tied with a blue ribbon. At least, for him. If he remembers correctly, Clyde’s was tied with white or silver ribbon. He shrugged. It’s the idiot’s fault for not letting him finish speaking. He continued his walk towards Sab’s house.

Then Eric bought, renamed it Ostrov Nol the day the papers were signed and had the name carved in Cyrillic into the cliff face at the helipad. The house Single-level brutalist fortress of black concrete and one-way smoked glass perched on the cliff summit. Helipad painted with a blood-red Н (Cyrillic “N” for Nol). 180° fixed ballistic-glass wall facing west into endless Pacific storms. Garage hidden in the rock: his matte-black 1995 Ferrari F50, a snow-white Lada Niva he shipped from Siberia “for the irony,” and a blacked-out Sikorsky S-76 with Н0L tail number. The caretaker is ex-Spetsnaz (silent, 6′7″, lives in the boathouse year-round).

"Last drawer." His voice was steadier now, but there was still something brittle underneath it, like ice that might crack under too much weight. Without another word, I crossed the room, my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet, avoiding the scattered glass that caught the light like malevolent diamonds. I knelt by the drawer—a heavy piece of mahogany that matched the rest of his furniture, expensive and imposing—and pulled it open with careful fingers.

He suddenly asked and I looked up. Is he trying to annoy me or something? “I don’t know,” I said and he scoffed. “You don’t know? Then why are you here?” He asked. “I have a super hearing ability, and I can control ice, not with my mind though,” I said. “Ice?” He asked and I nodded. “So, that’s all?” He asked and I nodded in affirmation again. “Words!” he snapped. “Yes.” I said. “Show me then,” He said.

The air in the Briarwood locker room was heavy, wet soup—old sweat, the strong smell of sports tape, and the fancy cologne the guys used to cover up the rink smell. Outside my stall, the other Knights were a mix of loud voices, slamming locker doors, and high-fives. Loud rap music with heavy bass played from a speaker in the corner, shaking the floor and my feet. It was meant to be a fun time after skating, but it didn't help with the silence in my mind. “Voss! Are you planning on living in there, or are we going to the Liquid Lounge?” I didn't look up. I knew the voice. John, our goalie and my oldest friend. I could hear the steady clack-clack-clack of his skates as he finished unbuckling h

Perhaps it involves magic or state-of-the-art technology; only the goddess knows. Scented candles are arranged in the corners of the room, and a dimly lit spotlight directly falls on a small round coffee table in the west corner of the room. An ice bucket sits in the middle of it with interlaced ribbons of gold, blue, and green. Beside the ice bucket rests a couple's watch, an identical Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon, and a bottle of golden-colored liquid with a pair of short, sturdy shot glasses. “It’s time!” I exclaimed excitedly.

“Not just the dust or remnants either. We mine and refine it before chipping it into gold powder for this shade.” I smirked picking up the shade called Coins Galore and twirled it around so she could see the flecks of gold, copper, and silver inside. “We do the same thing for the copper and silver flecks, and—” I closed my mouth realizing that Grace was smiling at me and not looking at the bottle in my hand, and I had said far too much. “I meant, they… I—” “You’re from Fluorite,” Grace said, her face showing no hint of shock. “I… suspected as much.”
