"You have a lovely home Henry," Camila said with a smile."I have you to thank for that." He paused as he had an epiphany. He looked her in the eye as he took her hands in his. "I have you to thank for so much more.""Oh! Ah, well... I-- you--" Camila stumbled with her words as her face heated up. Marisa burst into giggles as she watched her mother become tongue-tied. Camila shot her an annoyed look. When Henry's lips pressed against her cheek, she gasped and blinked at him as an unfamiliar emotion surged in her chest. She smiled and couldn't stop. "Thank you, Henry."Marisa was still grinning at her mother's bewilderment when Henry took her hands in his next. Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him cautiously."I believe you may have some inkling how grateful I am that you were there when I first started at VRL and for how you came to my rescue again and again. I wouldn't have made it this far without you at my side," he said sincerely and watched Marisa's mouth open and cl

Henry grunted from the pain of Dayshia performing surgery on his back without anesthetic. He knew he had to remain awake and to keep the energy flowing. That took everything he had.Tish watched in amazement as Dayshia's hands moved with confident precision as she quickly cleared the shards from his back. Each one was extracted then dropped into a dish made of the green light. She almost expected to hear a metallic ping from each dropped piece. She did hear Henry's grunts of pain and realized he was fighting to stay conscious through this. She marveled at his strength and will power.Dayshia was loving working with tools made of light. Once she was sure she'd removed even the tiniest fragment, she handed off the forceps, which faded away, and was about to ask for the suture needle and driver. Instead, she ran her fingers through the green light as she imagined how it could be used since it worked perfectly as the tools she'd needed. "Can this be used to seal the wounds?" she asked Mah

Dayshia's eyebrow rose up and seemed to disappear into the mass of curls. "Is that even possible!?!" she gasped.Mahati nodded cautiously. "I'm no expert in Wild Magic, but for traditional magic, it's the strength of the will and desire that shapes the capabilities of the magic. Considering her only other option appears to be madness, I think if Henry's willing, it's worth an attempt.""I'll speak to him about it when he wakes," Tish said."Let's go speak with Yuko about it. She woke up, and Jun is talking with her, but I'm glad Kesini has a firm grip on her," Dayshia said.Sharing worried looks, Tish and Mahati followed Dayshia back out to the living room. Tish noticed there was no sign of Kali."WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HENRY!" Yuko spat as she tried to thrash loose from Kesini's coils. She was standing but unable to move."Nothing. Henry is resting comfortably after Dayshia and I healed the injuries he sustained in the brief skirmish," the lawyer explained.Yuko glared at Mahati but s

The golden rings caught up to the battle, and one after another, the inner workings within the remaining clouds exploded, dropping their shiny debris onto the streets below.The battle over, Henry's mind drifted down to street level, and he stared in horror at the devastation around him. Not everyone survived the skirmish. People in cars had been roasted alive by the plasma. Out of control vehicles had plowed into pedestrians, and shattered multicolored glass could be seen where these collisions had occurred with people in the process of becoming the Glass People.Henry now understood how they were created.Then he saw her.So small and precious... and dead.The infant must have been thrown from one of the crashed cars. Henry wanted to do something for her, but he couldn't even cover her body in his disembodied state. He was powerless.When he next became aware of his surroundings, his attention was drawn by a large group of Glass People slowly wandering around in shock.As he moved c

The case of the death of Thane del Neev was still open. She didn't consider it a failure as she wouldn't stop until she found the guilty party and ended them.Her destination tonight was an apartment in a building next to Central Park. She'd be staying there during her visit.She would meet her client in a seventeenth-floor suite after dropping off her carry-on luggage in the apartment the Council kept for these purposes.Minkah watched the city out the window and marveled at how much it had changed since she'd last visited.When the taxi finally stopped before the building, she paid the driver and got out. She stretched her tight muscles as she panned her eyes around. She noticed a small sign across the street indicating the Metropolitan Museum of Art was nearby. She hoped she might get a chance to visit while she was here, but the mission took precedence. Her eyes tracked all nearby motion, and before she got dizzy from the sheer volume of it, she set off across the sidewalk and wen

She took a look at the sheet and saw the facility was in Hainesburg, NJ, just a little more than an hour's drive from the target's home. At least she wasn't going to have to do a long-distance road trip with the Dwarf and the target. She memorized the route and address then handed the sheet back to Lise-Anne."I'll begin my preliminary surveillance on Monday," she said. "Did you bring my requested items?"Rand nodded and stood to go into the next room. He returned with a small suitcase which he set on the coffee table before her. He took his seat before she opened the case.Minkah reviewed the contents to ensure they'd missed nothing she'd ordered. The bottom of the suitcase was foam-lined to securely hold the items in place. She saw the twin SIG-Sauer P229 handguns with a dozen extra clips loaded with hollow-point ammunition. Suppressors for the pistols. Ten throwing knives and two combat knives.Also fitted into the foam was a burner cell phone for keeping in touch with Rand and thr

His mind returned again and again to that first night. He knew everything hinged on the attractive stranger who had tried to take Stanley's place in their group of friends, Henry Gable.Roger had been suspicious of him from the very beginning, and now it seemed he may be at the center of the conspiracy. He had to be connected in some way to the large, horned goat-legged monster he'd seen in the hospital room. However, the night Roger got close enough to get a good look at him, he appeared human.That was also the night Roger got a taste of his first monster. It had been like nothing he'd ever tasted, and he wanted more. He'd encountered the recluse next, and aside from another filling meal, he got himself a permanent base, a means of transportation, and some pocket money.He'd used the bicycle to ride all over the city to hunt for his meals. He already knew how to travel through the city to avoid big brother's video surveillance, so that skill came in handy.Tonight, he was close to t

Sigrid just pursed her lips and shook her head. She felt equally to blame as she'd managed to get Meixiu to confess what she'd be up to and told her they would go out together from now on for safety. "Try again."Sigrid turned to Sandy. "Go out on the balcony and look up. Tell us if you see a change in the color of the sky." Sandy nodded and dashed for the door.The tall and slim Chinese woman nodded and clung to Henry. She repeated her calls and listened to his breathing between each attempt. He'd come back so quickly last time. That it was taking so long now was seriously frightening her.Sandy called out from down the hall. "The sky above is turning green!"Meixiu looked hopefully at Sigrid, who nodded. The smaller woman moved her mouth closer to his ear to speak insistently. "Henry! Where are you? Come back to your body, NOW!"Henry's body heaved as he sucked in a deep breath. Everyone screamed, squealed, or squeaked in surprise, Dayshia waking with a scream on her lips. She blink
