Loki Timing Novels & Stories

He checked the time on his Patek Philippe watch. The deadline was looming like a guillotine. "You have less than two hours, Liora," he said. His voice was like a low vibration, vibrating through the floorboards. "If this is a trick to stall for time, you’ll regret ever waking up tonight." Liora didn't even look up.
