Chapter 29 - Aftermath Donna came to Dave's office door, "Your wife is on Line One." Dave laughed, "Which one?" "Oh, yeah. Alice." Dave picked up the phone and hit the right button to connect.

Chapter 24: Loyalty "So...I suppose you spat in this?" Zyra glared at Medean across from the tiny wooden table in her room. On it he had just laid out her breakfast.

I like living where I was born, and small-town Scotland still places commerce a rung above the more recently-invented professions.

Kei wiped the blood from her dagger with a dead man's coat. A myriad of corpses lay in the hall behind her, but fewer than she would have liked. She had been halfway through her silent rampage when a man had grabbed a curtain in his death throws.
