He knows who was responsible for Senator Rustlin's death and it definitely isn't the mysterious assassin. The headquarters for the now secret CATU is bustling with agents. A temporary monitoring station is set up until all the equipment coul...
"Small Town" "So..." Betty asked brightly, "what do you think of our little town?" Willow smiled a forced smile, twirled a lock of bright purple hair through her fingers, and said to her sister-in-law in a cheerful tone, "It sure is...um...little, that's for sure." It sounded painfully fake, even to her, and she mentally cringed at the multiple 'sures'. Be...

Settling back in his seat as the truck crept through the blue/grey light of the early morning Davin thought about Margin.

It was profitable because there were new farms and ranches going up in the area, and the cattle trails were just a few miles to the east and west. Cowboys found little Expiation, Kansas, and it didn't take lo...
To fully understand the context of what is happening here, I suggest you read the previous three parts first. There are two characters that appeared in previous stories. Bill Jackson and Oscar Warren are both featured in my "Revenge in Advance" and "The Warren Files" series, and Frank Michaels appeared in "The Warren Files 03." MMAS is not a part of this s...
"That's really noticeable." Anna gawked at my make-up covered hickey. "Well, it's not like I'm fifteen and trying to hide it from my dad or something." I snapped. I had attempted to cover it, but Seth hadn't lied. It was so... dark, for one, large for another. If he had been a vampire I would've had some blood drawn for sure. "I didn't tell you. Remember t...
