************** Jeb Jameson had just received some interesting update calls. Carlos Harrera and Bradley Gilbert were both dead. This was unexpected news and somewhat worrisome, but only a tad. For some as of now unknown reason to Jeb, Brad had shot Carlos and then been shot in turn by Harrera's security right after one of the rogue agents had been assassina...
Mercies Mercy: 5. kind or compassionate treatment; relief from suffering - Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, Second College Edition "All right. Shit! Time?" Dr. Janet "J.T." Monroe was exhausted, her scrubs soaked with sweat, the blood of her patient splashed on her lab coat. A head injury patient she had treated intensively for fiv...
CHAPTER I: Drawing her hand through the aquamarine water, the young woman sighed. Next to the ribbon of blue water was her favorite place to sit. Snaking through the garden, the gentle river wound around the base of a tall hill. Over the hill, all the tropical vegetation that had ever been imagined lay draped. Colors so vibrant and varied it looked more fan...
The time between dropping Ivy off and the next morning was a bit of a haze, and the next morning, I awoke slowly, and blamed someone sneaking some pot into the show for last night's mental fuzziness. I rolled upright and padded into the kitchen to start the coffee maker. I retrieved the Wall Street Journal from my doorstep, and sat on my chair reading the pa...
If the next chapter is a little longer than usual in making its appearance, please don't worry (or start cheering, depending on your opinion of the story). I haven't stopped writing, but while I will likely have plenty of time to write chapters in my head, I may not have as much time to sit and type them out for a bit. For those who like the chapters posted...
Yes, chapter 14 is finally here and it is my longest chapter. Sorry for the delay but life has been keeping me busy. I have just bought my first home and been very busy getting ready to move in. That and working two jobs with the second job asking me to cover on my days off gives me very little time to write. I thank everyone for their patience and for my ed...
Chapter 07 - The Cabal Samael smirked at the reflected image in the full wall mirror. His body was immaculate, every muscle sculpted by an artist. His tanned skin glistened lightly with the sweat of exertion. His longish brown hair was swept back, revealing piercing, intelligent blue eyes. A close shave outlined his sharp aquiline features. Lying on her ba...
Chapter 3 "Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?" yelled Jenny Silverano to her husband. "I cannot believe you just said that, you fucktard." April sighed as she cradled the phone in the crease between her head and neck. She'd spent a very instructive hour with the instruction manual for the phone system that the State Department used, and found that it had multiple...
What was I thinking? I'd gone out with Charles the night before planning on dinner and either a party or a movie, ending with me heading home alone. Instead, I woke in the morning naked with Charles's arm draped over me. His eyes were already open, and he smiled when he saw I was awake. "Good morning, sexy." "Morning." I gave him a peck on the lips. "How ar...
French woke in the morning to a bright winter sun shining through the bamboo blinds on her bedroom window. Immediately, instinctively, she knew that she was alone in her apartment. Aidan had left. She felt a vague sense of disappointment that he wasn't there, but she also acknowledged that she needed time away from him to examine their newly forged relations...
