He stepped aside and she walked in. She slipped off her shoes when she saw him in his socks and followed him down the hall into the living room, her eyes growing wider, taking in the lovely décor. "Your place is gorgeous! Very... minimalistic but classic... Japanese?" she asked looking at him finally. "Yes... I like it," he finished lamely as it was the truth and he had no way to explain how all this furniture got here. She glanced towards the open bedroom door and squeaked in surprise as a lovely woman in a kimono stepped out of the room and approached. She couldn't take her eyes from the lovely creature. "Ah, this is Yuko. She's my-" "Fiancé," Yuko finished as she took the dish of brownies from Sandy's hands. "Housekeeper! A naughty one at that! Wait, I didn't mean it like that! 'Naughty' in the way she spoke out of turn... just then." Stanley stumbled over his words, his face turning a deep red with embarrassment. "My company hired her to take care of the place," he finished

Camila nodded and he popped up from his chair and hustled away.When the door closed again Camila looked at Sigrid with a worried expression. "Are we in trouble?"Sigrid nodded. "We may be ground zero for whatever she has planned for him.""We need him!" Camila said meaning the company but she realized it was more than that now. She caught Sigrid's eye and knew her friend was thinking along the same lines. The Valkyrie frowned."VRL needs his technical expertise and now that we've experienced the rush of his energy it's not easy to contemplate giving that up." Her frown deepened. "We might have to though.""We don't really know who the players are in this game! Other than his 'adoptive parent' who seems to be the mastermind and won't be sharing her plan, we don't know who else is involved, targeted, or will eventually be impacted. From the hints Yuko gave, it seems at least a faction of the Japanese Spirits Combine has taken an interest in him. He makes them nervous-"The light on Sig

They walked down the short hall into the open concept kitchen/dining room/living room and a woman was standing up from the couch to meet him. She was just a little taller than Stanley and pleasantly plump and curvy. She had expressive eyes and a naturally smiling mouth with full lips. Black kinky hair fell in waves to her mid pack. A crimson V-neck blouse was currently struggling to keep her generous upper assets covered while her round bottom was squeezed into very tight stretchy pants. Stanley shook her hand when Sandy introduced them. Dayshia's dark skin almost made Sandy's paleness glow by comparison."This is the chivalrous young man?" Dayshia asked with a smile and Sandy nodded as she put the flowers into a vase."You two work together?" Stanley asked, placing the wine with the other bottles on the granite countertop and they nodded."Yes, tonight everyone but you will be from the hospital. We're a tightly knit bunch." Dayshia said with a grin.The doorbell rang once more and Sa

"Oh! I'm sorry! I- I think I'm a little drunk," he apologized."Where is he?" a voice shrieked down the hallway.Stanley froze then pushed himself up onto his feet and stood there swaying. He turned his head as Yuko barged into the living room with Sandy right behind her. She was wearing his t-shirt over tights."You! It is your fault!" Yuko barked with tears in her eyes."What are you talking about?" he replied."I am to go back to Japan! They are cutting me off! Because of you!" Yuko raged.In a moment of clarity, he took a step closer to her and spoke softly. "Can we talk about this privately?""No! My life is ruined because of you!" she yelled, ignoring his suggestion.Stanley's frustration combined with the wine in his system knocked his restraint aside and his anger flared. "Hold on one second! None of this is my fault. You were the one who tried to trick me into marrying you and you were the one who told your father we were engaged. Then you told him I called off the wedding so

She shook her head as she looked at her lap. "For now, I will indicate in my report that you aren't suitable for training. That's not as rare as you'd think. This will satisfy the Security Ministry who are such a pain in the ass for us seers." They shared a smile. "You're very fortunate that you are able to suppress the perception of your seer sight. With the levels you have, if it was always on your sanity would be at risk."They stood and Katrina pulled Marisa into a warm embrace. "Good luck, Marisa!""Thank you!" Marisa had tears pooling in her lashes from relief and the intense compassion this woman was showing her. She followed the woman to the door and locked up once she was out.She'd been so worried at the complications the Hidden Races Council was going to impose on her life and now that was no longer an issue. She'd completely lucked out with the woman assigned to be her teacher.She glanced at the clock. She had time to get to work only a littl

"I'll work on getting our schedules organized so we're off next weekend. I'll let you know during the week if I'm successful," she said. They stepped into the elevator and Stanley nodded to her. "Looking forward to it. This time I'll cut back on my drinking." "It will be your turn to pick a movie! Make it a good one!" Sandy grinned as she stepped off on her floor and she gave him a happy wave as the door closed. Stanley made his way down and outside where he got into the back of the waiting limo. "Good evening," he said. "Good evening, Stanley," Camila responded, smiling over at him. The limo got underway and they settled back for the drive. "What's a good movie to share with friends?" Stanley asked and Camila's brows rose. "That depends on the friends, doesn't it?" she replied with a smile. "How good are these friends?" Stanley thought about that. "Well, they are very close with each other but I'm the new guy. It's my turn to choose the movie." "Well, they're probably going

Camila bowed to the Minister as well then led Stanley out of the room and back into the small waiting room outside of the main hall. She turned Stanley to face her and gave him a slight smile as she held his eyes with hers. "Did you fall or was dropping to your knees and pressing your face to the ground done for effect?" His face burned with embarrassment. "I was so bloody flustered I lost my balance," he said quietly. "Well it was brilliant and shut down the man's opponents completely. He's gained a tremendous amount of status from that one act," she said equally quiet. He looked at her. "Why aren't we leaving? Aren't we done?" "Minister Imamura's wife will pick us up and take us to his estate. We are having dinner with them tonight and will fly home afterwards. They want to thank us properly," she replied. Another young man approached them with their luggage and gestured for them to follow him. They did and made their way to an underground parking lot where the man held open th

"Run the authentication process once more," he said and when she did the connection was made. "Ah! It's working! What's wrong with port 7?" "I think it was manually configured to use half duplex mode. Do you recall doing that?" he asked. Her frown turned into barely suppressed rage and Stanley was happy it didn't seem to be directed at him. "No, but I know who did it," she growled. "Someone in my class who said he would help me." "Did this person work on your router?" Stanley asked. "He... had the opportunity," she said with a blush as she looked away. "Oh... Ohhhh!" Stanley said as he clued in. She'd had this 'friend' in her bedroom. "Why, uh, why would he have sabotaged your assignment?" "So he could take my place as top of the class," she said stiffly. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to embarrass you. What he did was really mean. The way to get back at him would be-" "To gut him with a fishing knife!" she snarled. "No! You show up with your project not only complete but exceedi
