"New York," she clarified."Shit!" Roy snarled quietly. He looked to Camila again. "Why did he hurt you?""I suspected he was looking to expand into our territory, and I tried to talk him out of it, appealing to his reason especially considering the heightened tension globally, but he was too far gone in his dreams of conquest." She sighed as the next part was not going to go over well. "I told him he'd never take Manhattan as he wasn't strong enough.""WHAT THE FUCK?!? You directly challenged a Were?" Are you suicidal?" Roy snapped.Camila remained quiet as she held Roy's eye.He took deep, slow breaths to calm himself, eyes focused on the tabletop. Once he was collected again, he looked at her. "You obviously survived."She nodded. "I had to fight my way out, but Henry's gift made that possible. I was tempted to kill Carl--" She raised a hand at Roy's choking noise. "...but I wasn't sure what that would do to his pack.""It wouldna be good!" Roy stressed. "They need a leader, and it

Mahati smiled gratefully and nodded to the big redhead. "Thank you. It will be a learning experience for both of us. I'm sure Henry will appreciate the guidance I can provide."Camila gave Roy a puzzled look but schooled her expression when she caught the twinkle in the redhead's eye. "Y-yes, thank you, Mahati."Sigrid was still bristling as she watched the smiling lawyer stand and leave the room.When the door was closed again, the tall blond turned on Roy. "What the hell?!?"Roy chuckled and held up his hands in defense. "Have you no eyes in your head?" he teased. "The woman was going all gooey when she snuck looks at Henry in the meeting. Now, she's taking an active interest in his well-being. That's a far cry from the attitude she presented on her first day when she attempted to kill him. I do feel better about her protecting him in Washington."It was Camila's turn to chuckle as she stared at Roy in delight. "Who is this man, disguising himself as VRL's brusque Head of Security?

Blane frowned. "Look who's calling me a monster.""But you are a monster! You're certainly not human. You're like the one in the zoo."Another shock went through Officer Blane. It could see through his glamor! Also, he'd heard what happened to the guard in the zoo. The way this creature was drooling, he realized that was going to be his fate as well.He felt so incredibly sleepy and weak from blood loss but struggled to remain awake. He looked to the hall, his thoughts begging his partner to hurry.Then came the tugging and spots of searing pain, which quickly numbed. He looked back and saw the beast tearing into his chest to rip out his organs. It chewed and grinned at him as it swallowed. His consciousness began to recede, but he saw its facial burns begin to fade before everything went dark.-=-Roger feasted on the organs inside the big police officer until he couldn't swallow any more. His injuries were healing nicely, and the pain from them was receding as well.Only when he san

Henry took a deep breath. He didn't want to have a child when he was this torn up about the child he already had, but he couldn't let Yuko slip into madness if he could prevent it. "I don't even know if it will work. Tish and Mahati are putting a lot of faith in the precise nature of my glamor. They believe the desires of my partner will be sufficient to eliminate the magic contained within... my stuff.""They did say they had a way to confirm it," Marisa suggested."Yes, a trial run. I'm... probably going to go speak with Yuko soon to see when she'd like to try."Marisa did her best to hide the smirk, but he caught the rapid expression change. "What?"She took a moment to compose herself. "You might wish to phrase that a little more delicately. Add a little romance." Her grin finally broke through her control, and he rolled his eyes."Okay. I get it. But in my defense, I don't know how I even feel about Yuko. As you're well aware, she's tried to kill me on a couple of occasions," he

She looked up at the building and admired the architecture. Turning her head in either direction, she smiled as this was close to some of her favorite shopping areas. She had good memories here.Lorelei realized she was procrastinating, so she stepped up to the doors and walked inside. She glanced up at the high ceiling in the lobby and approached the reception desk, and a pretty, young woman looked up and smiled at her."Hi, I'm Lorelei Reichenbach. I have an appointment with Greg Wilson." She realized she was about twenty minutes early. She supposed this would be their first test, how they reacted to her poor timekeeping."Certainly, let me call him for you. One second," the receptionist said.She spoke quietly into her phone, then hung up and smiled at Lorelei. "Greg will be down momentarily. Would you like to have a seat?" She gestured to some comfortable looking chairs.Lorelei nodded and moved over to sit and watch the traffic crossing the lobby. The people, employees she assume

Pete pulled up the calendar app with a worried look on his face and searched Greg's calendar. "Her name is Lorelei Reichenbach. Boss, I recall asking you to come see the... anomaly, but I can't recall what it was.""Same for me," Kirk agreed.Roy looked to Mary. "I'd be curious if you would be affected by the audio.""DON'T YOU DARE! I don't want to have something removing memories from my mind," Mary snapped.Roy held up his hands in surrender, then he looked to Pete. "Please make a clip of the lobby footage between 5:05 PM and 5:07 PM and send it to my account. Don't worry about the memory block. I'll see if I can't get it restored."He looked at Mary and gestured for her to follow. He ducked into the supply room and handed Mary seven packages of earplugs. "Get Team One. Three vehicles for the return trip. Take a pair of these for yourself and hand the rest out. Earpieces will be useless due to the nature of her abilities. We'll need to use hand signals only. I seem to be immune to

Her eyes flicked back to him as he smiled at the blonde, whose intentions for him were clearly visible in her blue eyes. Minkah felt a brief stab of jealousy but brutally pushed that aside.She decided this observation session was over. She needed to refocus her mind on the mission. She'd go for a walk to clear her head and—Minkah saw the big redhead approaching from the far entrance to this gallery. She read his intent in his body language and automatically turned to walk the other way. She briefly collided with the tall, pale woman before moving on to exit the room. She kept moving until she was outside. A brief glance back showed no sign of the redhead, but a tall, dark-skinned woman in a dark suit was watching her intently. Minkah's cover was blown. Considering the red-bearded man was the head of VRL security, this woman was obviously part of his team. Minkah headed down the sidewalk but sensed no followers. She walked away to go back to her safe house.There, she'd take a moment

The Thai food was delicious and filling, but the conversation quenched the curiosity in their new friend.Even Henry, who'd heard this a few times, found it fascinating when Camila, Roy, and Sigrid work together to paint a chronologically accurate picture of the Hidden Races' history and how they remained separate from Humanity for so long. He glanced at Mary and saw she was equally enthralled.As the trio reached a point where Lorelei entered the picture, they glanced towards Henry's grin. "Wouldn't it be great if we could record this for all new initiates!" he said.Camila raised a perfect eyebrow to look at him. "You know that's not—"He raised his hands. "I know, I know, but man! If I'd been told all this at the beginning as you did for Lorelei, it would have made so much more sense to me."The CEO gave Henry a sympathetic smile. "Sorry, we must be getting better at it since we had you, Nate, and now Lorelei to explain it to."Henry nodded. "I wonder how many more surprises Baba w
