Looking back they could see the four women settling Harry on the sand. Lizzy pinching his nostrils and blowing into his mouth. Ola's cousin Neta then pounding on Harry's chest and Perdy and Susan kept up a strict time chant befo...
Chapter 2: Thrice Betrayed Prologue I had original written Part 1 of this story, after a week without sleep. I wrote the Anniversary Surprise in a fit of anger. The first betrayal was our 10th anniversary surprise, finding out she was pregnant, 4 months after my having a vasectomy. I would have been in all the medical journals, had the baby actually been...

We were trying to charge our batteries for the upcoming two weeks, so I was tucked in your arms and we were both lost in thought. We had been best friends for over...
A/N: So here we are at the tail-end of the Conspiracy saga and will spin into the Loyalty saga of Death in the Shell.
