In the end, there was no objection and no one had a better plan. They all felt lost in the chaos of events and were ready to grab any straw that promised even a glimmer of hope. Ezekiel promised to provide them with equipment and to activate further contacts in order to keep asking for the meaning of the stones or anything else useful. After he had promised them several vehicles, his son got up.
"So if there are only two of you, when you meet Julien's acquaintance, I will join you!" He said firmly, gazing at his parents.
His mother clapped her hands over her mouth while mute horror widened her beautiful eyes. However, this immediately gave way to the assertiveness of the lion-like maternal instinct. She had even managed to get her husband, a respected councilor, out of all those wars within the Elevender Terrace, so she was definitely not going to give up on her son.
"You don't!" She said in a decisive tone that Aurelia hadn't thought of this small, feminine wom
Evrill led them into his study, which was bursting with modern technology, and offered them a seat on the wide leather couch."Can you get us some portable IT equipment?" Asked Aurelia as she walked through the room with the business-like carpeting.Evrill leaned casually against the massive dark desk and smiled confidently. “That shouldn't be a problem!” He propped one arm on the table, with the other he pointed to the back corner, where a lot of equipment was already stored, neatly stowed in suitable transport bags. “By the way, I've already researched the address that Julien gave from the café. It wasn't hard to find, it's a pretty famous dance bar. ”He grinned very satisfied now and she saw through the laboriously calm surface of his demeanor, under which the awakened ardor and pride about his skills peeked out.Pareios seemed delighted. "Wonderful! Who would have thought what you are made of, Ev! ""It's okay, my mother
Do you think the Legion has something to do with it?" Row threw around.Viktor shrugged his shoulders rather helplessly. "If it had been us ... why and for what?"The feeling that there was more to this message than could be seen at first glance, Aurelia just couldn't let go. "Whoever it was must have been technologically well-equipped, things like that are state-of-the-art, you can't just get them down like that!" And he had to have been quick! "Just put it in our collection of mysterious incidents, maybe we'll find more answers in the next few days." She grumbled unsatisfied and then sat down at the table at which Velvet was preparing dinner.She interrupted the thoughtful conversation of her guests by asking everyone to sit down at the table."So sit down, stop all this bad news, now it's time to eat.""Yes, M'am!" Evrill saluted like an officer, which brought him a few more laughs and drove away the discomfort that was in the room.
Her arms passed over a soft sheet while she was still half asleep. She felt the folds of the velvet blanket, but her fingers searched in vain for the warmth of a body that had lain next to her for the night and brought her that incomparably deep sleep. She opened her eyes and looked around.The room was empty, but something was stirring behind the door. Footsteps approached and she heard Pareio's voice saying to someone: "We're coming!"Then the large, white-painted door opened and the object of her longing pushed into the room. His movements were timid and he had fixed his eyes on the full cup in his right hand. He balanced it carefully so as not to spill a drop. When he arrived at the bed, he put the elegantly curved coffee pot down on the bedside table and then turned to her for the first time.“Tomorrow, Sleeping Beauty! Time to get up! ”He sat on the edge of the bed and put a hand on her back as she rolled over to face him.He smelled of
“My mother didn't want me to be in direct line of fire, but she didn't forbid me from doing business. I started an investment firm a few years ago. And as it is in financial circles, the worst gangsters are the ones who walk around in suits and ties. From a certain amount of money, the hegeduns come into play, that's the way it is. And word of success gets around! Could of course have something to do with my grandiose appearance! ”He joked and smiled in amusement.“In any case, it's customary in these circles to do business with pouring parties, hookers, coke, all just toys for these people. There are a lot of sick pigs and sadists among them.When the Hegedun bankers were partying there was sometimes ... let's say 'collateral damage'! At a party like that, to which I was also invited, someone lost his head and stabbed an unruly prostitute with a butter knife. That was my first encounter with federal authorities. I delivered a murderer to them and cle
Slowly she became aware of the scope of what she had heard and the more caustic became the mistrust that none of them had even been remotely aware of these events. She itched in her fingers to call Viktor and let him know, but wasn't sure whether this knowledge in his hands would mean a good weapon or a weak link in the chain, especially since he would face Markus soon. Pareios must have worked that too, because he now leaned over to her new team-mate with great interest."You realize how important this information is?"“Absolutely, so I thought it was right not to peddle it. From my own experience I cannot make it clear enough to you that it is not that difficult as a spy to get hold of secret information. I saw no connection and you also made it clear to me yesterday that it would be better if the other team didn't know too much! ”He shrugged his shoulders in resignation. "Do you think the whole thing is somehow related to the stones?"Aurelia and
She accepted the pain, endured it quietly, felt the guilt and just mourned. Although it was exhausting to deal with these feelings, to let them in and the feelings of guilt made her lips and fingers tremble for a moment, it was far more bearable than it was a few days ago. She sat on the bed, put her hands on her lap and watched in astonishment as they soon came to rest again. It was strange that the self-hatred didn't overwhelm her as it usually did, but she gratefully accepted it, knowing who had caused the change. A big smile stole onto her lips and she had already turned off the light to go to meet her savior.He and Evrill sat in the living room and talked animatedly about the driver they wanted to meet. They both looked up when Aurelia entered the room. Her eyes widened as they studied her appearance. Evrill held back and soon turned back to the map that was spread out in front of them on the small living room table. Pareios got up and came over to her. He put his
At his words her heart began to sing, every vein, every tendon, every muscle tingling in time as she followed his incomparable pull and turned her head so that her mouth landed on his. She pressed her closed lips to his, but when he put his hand around her neck and held it with gentle pressure, she opened them eagerly. Carefully and gently his tongue stroked hers, almost reverently they adjusted their movements to each other, kissed slowly and soulfully, in the middle of this noisy, busy bar, crammed with people. Only after a few minutes did they part reluctantly, mainly because a remnant of duty appeared somewhere in Aurelia's clouded brain. Even so, all of this was strangely neither strange nor uncomfortable, it just felt normal. What a rarity in her life she thought.They quietly drank their drinks and continued to watch the crowd around them, it was now shortly before eleven o'clock. The contact had to arrive soon.As soon as the door opened and a bla
It made her so perplexed that, although she had suspected it, she did not resist when his head bent down and he breathed a quick kiss on her mouth. His lips lingered only a moment, slightly parted, and before she could react adequately, he let go of her, turned without another word and disappeared into the crowd.Not a second later she felt Pareios' heat on her back, which had probably shot onto the dance floor like an oiled lightning bolt at the sight. That he found no one by her side seemed to make him even more angry than he already was. There was no trace of her informant to be found anywhere, and the jacket on the cloakroom was already missing."That bastard!" Pareios grumbled and put a possessive hand on her shoulder. His touch was hot when his skin met hers. She liked the fact that he obviously thought she belonged to him, because that's exactly what she felt, she wished with all her heart!So she let him delegate her back to her table, where Evrill, he h
