His Biggest Secret Chapter 105
Nate winced and shook his head. "I might have burned a bridge last year. The night I discovered what I was I went to the boss' Hallowe'en party. She got a little frisky, and I let her take me to bed. Incredibly dumb move but I wasn't at my best that night. The next day at work when I tried to tell her we should keep things professional, she blew up and fired me. It was quite the scene. Since then, she's made it her life goal to blackball me with every ad agency and marketing firm in New York. I get jobs at smaller places, but none have offered me anything long term." "If you can maintain a professional attitude in the workplace, I have friends in a few larger firms. I could put in a good word and probably get you an interview," Sigrid said. He smiled broadly at her. "Lesson learned. I definitely can. That would be wonderful!" Sigrid smiled. "Give me your cell num- " She stopped when she saw Camila shake her head. "OIetha probably took his cell from him when she grabbed him," the C

She ran from the room and leapt up the stairs to get to the room Sigrid gave to her. She threw herself onto her bed as her muscles began to cramp and stretch. Her bones felt like they were on fire as her body continued to shake like it was going to vibrate apart and explode into sparks simultaneously. Her ears filled with the swooshing roar of her blood rushing through her veins as her heart beat faster and faster. She pulled a pillow over her face and screamed her terror into it. Sigrid! She needed Sigrid to save her but her head filled with static, and she could no longer see anything beyond the flash of stars. She'd never find her phone now. Whimpering, she prayed her curiosity hadn't killed her. -=- When Camila's door closed behind Nate, Roy turned towards Camila. "Who are these external law firms approaching VRL?" he asked curiously. "No one we're seriously entertaining the idea of using. She needed to believe it," Camila smirked. He shrugged then grinned. "So is it my tur
His Biggest Secret Chapter 107
Henry was floating high above the earth again. He watched the globe spin slowly by beneath him and was awed by its beauty. Here and there he saw flashes of lightning leaping through the clouds, and after a while, he began to see a difference in how the lightning moved in some storms. A few storms seemed to be directing where the bolts went. He never saw their fingers of electricity spreading horizontally. Always channeled down the side of the thunderheads to strike the ground, the ocean surface, or another nearby thunderhead. Their bolts were wider as well, blue-white beams of supercharged energy.He moved closer to a couple of these 'battling clouds' over the plains in the middle of... Kansas? From this high up, Henry's ability to tell where exactly he was, was poor at best. He saw they were over farmland and in the far distance to the south he saw the signs of a small town, still enjoying the sunlight.He moved closer to the clouds and watched them rumble at each other, pushing and

Ikehorn contacted their teammate guarding the back door. "Heathlane." "Yes?" "We have two unknown men infiltrating the house from the front and one waiting in their vehicle. Any activity in the back?" "All quiet." Ikehorn moved to the back door of the van as Deslin checked his gun and spare clips. "I prefer using magic," the Fae grumbled, and Ikehorn scowled at him as he touched his mic. "Heathlane, watch the back door. Don't let them get by you." "Right." Ikehorn looked to Deslin who nodded his readiness. The mission leader picked up a small puck-like disk. "I'm going to put a stunner on their truck. That should take care of the driver but if not, be ready." Activating his glamor, he chose the plumber disguise to match their van. Deslin did the same then they exited the back door. The driver of the waiting SUV saw two older gentlemen walking up the sidewalk carrying tool boxes. He watched them for a bit, but they seemed harmless. As they reached the side of the SUV, Ikehorn

Camila watched him go with a sad little frown. She looked to Sigrid who was standing at the window. She saw her friend wave to someone outside and give a thumbs up.Sigrid looked to her. "The security team is here." She pulled her cell out to quickly check in with Meixiu to see how Henry was doing. She hit send and watched the screen with a smile. Meixiu got such a thrill from receiving them and always responded instantly- except this time. Her smile dimmed. The second text failed to get a response, so she tried calling her cell. No answer. Odd. Very odd.She called her home number, and no one answered. The hairs on the back of her neck began to stand up. "Something's wrong at home." Camila gave her a questioning look. "Meixiu isn't answering texts or the phones. That doesn't happen."Camila took out her cell and pulled up Roy's number. Henry's immediate safety took precedence over chasing down a leak in his department.She stared at Sigrid as a sudden th

She liked Henry and had a good feeling in her gut about him. She couldn't see him mixed up in anything shady. That said, she was going to keep an eye on the big redhead. She just had to keep her eyes open. Damn fatigue. -=- Two large men stood next to the bed and stared at the creature lying on it. Ram horns. Furry lower half with goat's legs and cloven hooves. Big. Naked and it smelled like sex. The men glanced uneasily at each other. It must have been drugged as it didn't wake up when they entered the room or when they poked it. It was breathing shallowly, and its pupil responded very slowly when they lifted an eyelid. One of the men pulled a large antique syringe from a leather pouch on his hip and shoved it into one of the veins on the Satyr's thick arm. He drew the blood until the syringe was full. When he pulled the needle out, the spot began to bleed. "Shit! He's bleeding!" the other announced, earning a scowl. "Give me a second!" the one with the syringe growled as he r

Frowning, he touched his injured cheek, and his eyebrows went up. The skin was whole and felt smooth and free of wrinkles. He saw the young woman move to Henry's side again. The Satyr was breathing deeply and smoothly once more. The wound on his shoulder was gone. So, the green light was a healing spell- Ikehorn's eyes widened in shock as he connected the dots. He needed to leave right now."We'll leave him to you," he said brusquely to the woman and dragged Deslin with him, only pausing for the agent to pick up his gun. They hurried down the stairs and saw a black SUV pull to a stop in front of the brownstone. It was the Valkyrie!Ikehorn reversed direction and glanced down when his eye caught sight of something out of place. Quickly moving to the debris of the shattered table, he bent to pick up the pieces of an old glass syringe. There was blood on the floor where the syringe had been. Had the Werewolves been after the Sa

Mary crashed into the side panel of the van and the metal bent inwards deeply. She pushed herself free of the indent and was seized once more in the large clawed paws of the monster. The unreal nature of the moment struck her. She should have felt terrified, but instead, she was tingling with energy and struggling not to laugh with the sheer joy of how good she felt. She grinned at the face of the big cat monster. Then she slammed her forehead into its nose. It yanked its face back sharply, so Mary lifted both legs and kicked it in the chest, breaking its grip. She hit the ground and tried to get to her feet, but the beast pounced on her to pound on her with its closed fists, bouncing her head against the paving. Struggling to keep her giggles under control, she gazed up at the monster which stared at her, confusion and frustration showing in its large yellow eyes. Mary knew she should be terrified but the lack of pain and injury combined with how good she was feeling instead just wi

They stopped at the guardhouse where a startled looking soldier stared at them, then just waved them through. They returned to the building with the auditorium. The Colonel, the General, Hugh, and the lab coats were waiting for them. Corporal Dane handed the camera back to the technician, who accepted it excitedly. He immediately reviewed the recording and made excited sounds to his colleagues.The General was trying to school his expression but wasn't too successful."How... how are you feeling, son?" he asked softly from his tight throat.The big marine saluted him with a wide smile. "I feel really good, sir! So much better than I was after the explosion and maybe better than my best day."Hugh's expression was satisfied. "I know a lot of other soldiers who might appreciate the same chance."Mick stepped forward. "Sir, what we saw today was just short of a miracle. His body rejected the conversion, and we almost lost him. The injury he sustained created a break in the flow, and he a

Gordon took in the ribbons pinned to the marine's dress uniform. He'd done some pretty impressive things in his career. He stepped forward and returned the man's salute. "I'm Colonel Gordon Crane.""Gunnery Sergeant Christopher Endale."Gordon smiled and gestured to the soldiers, who were now all smiling at him. "I suppose your security clearance has been escalated to allow you to witness this, so let me introduce you to my squad. Up until yesterday, they were a group of highly trained human soldiers. We were charged with capturing a small group of Silver People. Instead, my people got turned into Silver People themselves. They're still the same soldiers, but you can't really call them human any longer. Not that they've complained.""We can run so fast!" Yablonski gushed.The squad burst into chuckles, and the marine's eyes widened at the odd sound."Maybe discipline has been affected," Crane grumbled, and his squad snapped to attention as the argument was over and the two men returne

"I'm not at my peak either. I had to use a fair amount to deal with Carl de Bellisle. But I don't intend to fight Nuru. I don't want her job!" she exclaimed.Sigrid snorted in amusement, and the phone chirped. Camila pressed the button. "Yes?""Your 9 AM is here," Felix said."Thank you. Please send them in."Sigrid stood to face the door as Camila joined her. "Remember our visit to Walter's cavern?" the blond asked quietly, and Camila nodded as she smiled at Nuru, who strode in with her bodyguards at her sides. They shut the door.The waves of energy radiating from the leader confirmed Camila's guess that she'd been overfeeding in preparation for this meeting. She sighed, as in contrast, Camila held back on her output the best she could. She forced a smile onto her lips."Greetings, Nuru Onwudiwe," Camila began and bowed her head to the other woman."Camila Villamor, you are not presenting the excess of power you did the other night," Nuru snapped.Camila looked up and nodded. "As I

Keeping the destination drop zone in his mind, he opened the tear, and Henry fell through to drop three feet to the grass below. The back of his head landed on the small brass commemorative plate bolted to the stone next to the bushes. Xiong winced but quickly closed the tear as he saw the beam of a flashlight approaching.He hoped their friend was okay as they'd asked so much from him. He looked back to the pile of charred remains. Something shiny caught his attention. It was up where Henry's head had been. Xiong reached down and lifted the crystal ganglion from the ground. His body must have rejected it after he was healed.Xiong couldn't inform Henry that he no longer had their transplanted capacity to wield magic. He also had no idea how Henry got it out yet completed his spell.He looked to the others. "We will bury these remains in the forest glade to honor our friend, Henry."A feeling of joy and love washed through him from the others. The Glass People loved the idea, as they

He felt Xiong withdrawing, and through the magic in him, he picked up snippets of a conversation Xiong was having with all of the other Glass People. The volume was a bit overwhelming as there were so many voices, and they were upset. They seemed to be talking about making him a Glass Person because of his injuries. To save him. Xiong was trying to tell them it wouldn't work as he'd already been subjected to the same energies, and he wasn't glass now.Henry was beginning to get seriously worried. How badly was he hurt? He felt someone close by and reached out to the mind. It was one of the Silver People.It physically touched him, and he linked minds with the young female. Concepts and perceptions were flowing through their link. She was sad. She'd heard he was the hero who'd saved all of the people on this planet and many on Earth. He imagined looking through her eyes at him, and she allowed it.He saw his Human glamor, and he looked no worse for wear. That was a relief. He dropped t

Crane shrugged. "I might have gotten more information, but Palmer's team decided to make his attempt at capturing my team.""You informed your team to run. They're now on the loose," Palmer asserted."No, they've gone to ground and will contact me tomorrow. They're still my squad. They remain devoted to the mission, as do I," Gordon asserted."But they won't come in," Baines growled."Yes, they'll come in, but not if they're going to be experimented on. Fully human soldiers would behave the same way under this threat, and there's no need for it. They've already proven they'll tell us everything we need to know." He locked eyes with the General. "Having a squad of bulletproof soldiers able to move faster than we can register with our eyes gives us one hell of an advantage, wouldn't you say? And remember, we know how to make more."That got through to the man."I'd personally like to speak to one of these Silver People," said the man with the crooked smile.Crane nodded. "We saw a repor

"Status report, Mick," Crane commanded through his mic. Their radios were shielded, so they still worked.The sergeant was still a little overwhelmed by the shared emotions, but she pulled it together and answered. "Colonel. The pseudo-clouds appear to be dead. The strike zone of the last prolonged bolt is too energized for us to enter. In the center of this zone is a body. We can't get close enough to make a positive identification or to determine if the person is alive or not. It looks to be a male based on body shape and clothing. The area is sprouting new growth unnaturally fast. Grasses and flowers are actually growing before our eyes. The four Silver People we met in Tennessee were here before we arrived, and they showed us how lightning affects the plant life where it strikes."And how exactly did they do that?" Crane asked, weariness in his tone.Mick felt a little uneasy with what she was about to confess, but she pushed ahead. "Uh, it seems we can speak mind to mind if we ho

As he got closer, he could feel every hair on his body beginning to stand on end. Little sparks were jumping between the strands, and he could taste something metallic. The rain was picking up, as was the wind, and soon he was drenched. The closer Henry got, the brighter the sparks snapping across his body became. It felt like his entire body was being pricked by pins and needles. The woman suddenly looked up at him and stopped with a look of fear on her face, clutching her child to her side.Henry looked closely at her and realized her hair was as soaked as his, but hers wasn't attracting the sparks at all.He looked past the woman and saw the tiny sparks leaping through the gap between himself and the approaching storm. He was a lightning rod! FUCK! He had to get away from her and the children! He spotted two young men running by."STOP!" he roared, and they froze in fear. "Help her get her children to cover!" he ordered, and they rushed to her and got her moving, one pushing her ca

"Shit!" Crane exclaimed.Sam looked at his friends then back to the Colonel. "These things duking it out over a city would not be good. I don't know what effect the lightning would have on people, but I can't imagine it would be good." A sudden pang of guilt made him look to the new Silver People they'd made. "You should know, we get our energy from the lightning. I guess it's how we eat."Jake scowled at Sam, but he just shrugged. He wasn't about to let them starve to death.Brenda and Jeannie went back into the barn and returned with handfuls of the silver strips, handing them out to the soldiers. Brenda took the remaining strips back to the barn when they no longer melted into the soldier's skin."We have to leave," the Colonel said, looking at Sam."That's cool with us. It's up to you what happens to your people. We're just going to keep running as that's what feels best. We won't interfere with you. I'd like to ask that you do the same for us, but maybe you don't have that author
