Under Currents Nora Roberts の小説・ストーリー

“We don’t do it directly. We use a middleman—someone she wouldn't suspect. We trigger the craving before she even knows she’s been compromised.” Robbin felt a sick sense of awe at Nora’s ruthlessness. It was a perfect, silent execution. “Fine,” Robbin said, her voice dropping to a hollow monotone. “But if we do this, there’s no turning back. We aren't the survivors anymore, Nora. We’re the predators.” “We were always the predators,” Nora replied, turning back to the keyboard to find a contact they hadn't used in a decade. “We just got better at hiding our teeth.”

Jace said, holding onto her tighter. “Something is coming.” She whispered looking across the yard. “Something?” Jace said, setting Nora down and standing in front of her, Cole pushing just under his surface. He didn't pick up anything, what was she sensing? He squinted trying to focus his eyes. He couldn't hear anything ethier. “Yes.

It's about twenty by thirty, with bookshelves lining two walls, a massive desk in the centre, and leather chairs scattered like islands.
