Jane and Aubrey shared joint looks as Xavier went on with his work like nothing had happened. If it was ten years ago then he would have been the first person to go after his boss, riding his car into the darkness with guns, like a knight out to save a damsel in distress. Time had truly changed them but it was not surprise that it had changed them. Ten years ago they would have both gone after Con the minute they noticed he was missing. That was what had brought them to Orion city and after the collapse of the city and Con's disappearance, they had relented for a while, but they had never given up on him. They always kept hope in their hearts that they would find him, and they did. Xavier was probably just calm because he knew where Con was. Xavier raised his head up to meet the gazes of the two women staring at him. A slight smile spread on his face as he cocked an eyebrow up. "Why the glowering?" Jane peered at him through fine and delicate lashes. "You know where Con is d

"He's not picking up is he?"Xavier shook his head and turned to look at the two ladies watching him. Jane and Aubrey were super worried about Con, and the fact that he was acting like a dickwad and not picking up any of their calls was something that had made them come to him.How they reasoned that Con would pick up his call when he had not picked theirs up baffled him, but he agreed to call the man all the same.Now that he was calling Con over the phone he was getting the same response. Static indifference. The call would ring and ring but no one would ever pick. Con would never cut a call directly, even when he didn't want to take the call. Instead he would stay back and watch as the call rang and imagine those on the other side panicking because they could not get him.He had done it to a number of commanders while they had worked as the military defense personally hired mercenary soldiers. He had done it to members of the team and he had done far worse to his uncle, it was ju

Con was barely getting his new work space assembledd before Jane and Aubrey appeared in his line of vision with Lisa in tow.Well Lisa was the one who lead at the head while the two women followed behind, but unlike Lisa, they didn't seem too thrilled to be around any of the things they were looking at. Him included.Jane's glare would have incinerated a lesser man and Con didn't know if he was to feel happy or hurt at Aubrey's melancholic but utterly relaxed look.She seemed not to give a single eff about whatever he had been doing with his time and it hurt. Yes, he had decided on it now. It hurt.What hurt more was the fact that they had every right to be angry at him.Lisa was the first person to throw herself at him in a hug and he caught her. It would seem the little girl had missed him."Where are the black roses at?"Con rolled his eyes and placed her back on the floor."Out back, you can ask one of the maids to take you there. Be careful with the thorns."Lisa was nodding but

Clay only blinked back at him and Xavier could tell that he was not getting through to the boy.Or Maybe Clay just wanted to act like that even though he clearly understood all that been said. In whatever case it may be, he was here because he had done the things he had to do and this had been something he had to do.He was only spying on this one room, the other rooms were left unmonitored and he doubted he would ever have the urge to monitor them. The only thing he wanted to see was this conversation. Now that he had seen it, he was quite done with it and he would rather focus on something more important, or rather something more pressing.Clay stood there, almost grown into a full grown man though still retaining his youthfulness in the brightness of his eyes and in the way he seemed to always be distracted by one thing or the other in very short spans of time.Lisa was almost also like that, so he was glad that his daughter would not be the odd one out, but at the same time, it c

Jake watched the ladies as they swarmed around him. They looked pretty, they were pretty. Big breasted and wide hipped ladies. They all swarmed around him like he was the center of their universe, and he guessed that in a way he was.They were here to satisfy him and if they didn't then he would kill them. They had enough sense to know that he wasn't the type of person to consider any kind of morals or compassion. He would stomp on anyone who was in his way and who didn't do what he wanted.The question here now was if these ladies would be among the firsts to encounter that or if they would satisfy him the way he wanted.He knew some things of what the rich sometimes did when they were in need of release. Not just the rich but the dementedly rich. He knew some of the things they did to those they engaged in sexual acts with, and he wasn't inclined to try all of it out, but he wanted to try some of it.At least one or two of those methods had popped into his mind just now as he
