2021-04-17 09:20:46Tilly got me some clothes to wear home, and she picked me up in a fucking Mercedes SUV. Yeah, I should have known she was loaded. Turns out, she wasn’t just an ER doctor, she was a director, and only 33 years old.
“I got you a few outfits just trying to guess your size … oh, and some toiletries. I want to give you a couple more days to take it easy, then I’ll take you shopping,” she said, pulling into a long driveway.
Holy … shit.
These guys were seriously loaded. I’d only ever seen houses like this on TV, but never in real life.
What the hell did I do right in life to deserve this?
"You’ll meet Scott tonight, he is pretty much at work about 14-16 hours

Gifted Shadows 51 - Learning The Ropes
I had been enrolled in school for a few months, I tested into ninth grade and I was loving it. The girls here were on another level -- rich girls, and they fucking loved me. If I dropped a little Spanish, they were losing their minds.I was getting ass in closets, under the bleachers, it was easy. I took at least three condoms with me to school a day, I couldn’t get enough and the girls, they were more than willing.The teachers kind of treated me with kid gloves, not sure how to deal with a beefed up street kid.They all expected me to be trouble, but Tilly gave me the whole “kill ‘em with kindness” lecture. I just needed to try and fly under the radar, of course I didn’t consider fucking girls at school trouble, I needed some type of release.

Three years have passed since that night, since my first real satisfaction.What I have learned from Scott is beyond words, beyond anything I could have ever imagined.Fighting was a completely distant memory, and something that will forever stay in my past. I didn’t need it now, my dark shadow now had an itch with only one thing to satisfy it.I often think I should have been counting, but I hadn’t been. If I had to guess I could say I’m up to about 50 or so kills. Some have been easy, some have been fucking intense.It is now what I live for … sure I still chase girls now and then, but I can go without for a while just thinking about my other fulfillment.I was about to

I had been tracking a few douchebags who believed they were Einsteins, trying to create a bomb, nuclear level but that wouldn’t use plutonium. They believed it was possible and weren’t going to stop until they figured it out and sold their plan to the highest bidder.Scott was going to start rounding up some nerds that could attack the idea from our side, even see if it was possible. Several bad actors had already heard about the Einsteins and were already offering encouragement, to help them in any way possible, which meant rounding up the best and brightest.Unfortunately, they’re not always going to get these people to come of their own free will.“I need you to come in, I have a girl that I think can help us, at least take a look at what we have. But she’s very you

Scott had assembled a team of mathematicians, physicists, organic chemists and more … which was impressive on short notice.“Rae is finishing up her paperwork, can you go grab her and bring her and the others up to speed, I’m deep in something here and I can’t get away,” Scott said on the phone.“Sure I love babysitting, it’s my thing,” I said.I got down to the conference room and the girl looked passed out on the table. I mean it was after 1 am and I guess she was probably normally asleep by now.I stood in the doorway watching her for a minute.“We didn’t get to meet last time, but I’m Javi.”

Scott had messaged me just before Rae's little update. He wanted to tell me that this guy Edger, a scientist from Canada we had tried to recruit was missing.We agreed that a hotel wasn’t safe for Rae, so we arranged for Toby to take her to my place. I noticed she had a necklace that she never took off, and I was going to try and find a tracker small enough to put in it.Toby already had one in her phone but anyone kidnapping her would certainly dump her phone first. I went back to my laptop and made some inquiries, it seemed like nobody knew anything about Dr. Edger.But I saw something disturbing, no less.It seemed that Dr. Khan had vastly oversold her abilities, and the Einsteins cut ties with her, annoyed that she wasn’t able to p

It had only been an hour since I landed and I already got news there was a contract out for Dr. Khan, half a million for her safe and sound. I had a tip that they did get the Canadian I was looking for …. Intercepted at the airport on his way to D.C. … fucking great.I had Marcus doing everything possible to track down Dr. Khan and I had a few guys in the area looking too. If we didn’t get her first, it wasn’t going to be pretty.Sure, they would keep her around awhile, but if she didn’t know enough to get them further along, they’d just kill her.Weeks turned into months and I was getting nowhere, but it also seemed like the interest died down.I focused my energy on getting another mole into the Einsteins so

Toby had hooked Rae’s apartment up with a pretty crazy security system, and there was a camera in the kitchen that only he and I had access to. Rae didn't know it was there.I got back to my office and went right for her camera.She was dancing around the kitchen and I found myself smiling like a dork, watching her. She was actually baking something and I was mesmerised watching the ease with which she just floated around.When her food was done she jumped on the counter and ate it with milk, cookies I assumed.I never just sat and relaxed, just enjoyed my own company, I wasn't sure I was even capable of it. I always had to be moving, reading, checking on things. I was always working, and that was all I knew. I was jealous of her innocence,

For the rest of my visit home, I did everything to avoid being alone with Rae. I had Toby and Mario both coming by to watch her, and even at Christmas dinner I did everything to avoid direct conversation with her.She was getting to me, and I couldn't let that happen. Every time I thought about her, all I wanted to do was throw her against a wall and fuck her brains out. I have never been so stuck on a woman before in my life, let alone some eighteen-year-old.I had to get out of here and get back to work. Scott came to me about a guy in Venezuela that needed to go away and I was more than happy to oblige.It would be the perfect little trip to get my mind off her.Before I knew it, I had stayed away about six months … I took out a few bad guys,

Gifted Shadows 86 - She Sacrificed Her Dignity
~One Year Later, Rae’s Point of View~I was utterly and completely exhausted. I had been up two days helping finalize the new build for our D.C. village location. We really wanted to hit up L.A. next since the homelessness situation out there is beyond dire, but with a small baby we just couldn’t be back and forth like that right now.We let Marcus take the reins on L.A., and he was out scouting locations and getting conversations started to make it our third location. The guys were really flourishing and it just seemed like this what we were all meant to be doing.Even more time flew by and we were now about 95% finished with things for the D.C. location ... I was so ready for it to be done. We planned to take a long and much needed month long vacation once it was ready.
Gifted Shadows 85 - The New Best Night Of My Life
Rae had on a sexy little dress that hugged her body perfectly. I was hard just looking at her, but I usually was anyhow. She got us a quiet booth in the back and had actually reserved the table in front of us too for a little privacy.I didn't like her being in public with so little covering her. Her body was only for my eyes, but she was so happy and with today's news I wasn't about to pick a fight or make her feel self conscious.I slid in next to her, instead of in front of her. This way, both of our backs were to the room and it was less likely anyone would see us.Unfortunately, that meant I couldn’t see anyone coming but I was willing to risk it. We ordered drinks and an appetizer even though I already wet my appetite a few minutes ago, I thought … licking my lips and still tasting her
Gifted Shadows 84 - I'm The Lucky One
Javi and I got so busy over the next few months, as you can imagine … I forgot to renew my birth control shot until it was well over a month past its time. We still humped like rabbits every single chance we got and something just told me I was knocked up.I was desperately putting off taking a test because a test meant it was real. A test meant people getting excited and wanting to talk about it all the time. A test meant Javi probably sticking me in the RV and not letting me out.Part of me was pissed I let this happen, and part of me was excited. As I thought about letting myself get excited, all I could think about was mom. Having a baby without my mom. Man, that is going to be rough.Dad was now dating a nice lady and seemed pretty happy. He’s only met Javi now a few times, but he
Gifted Shadows 83 - The Village
We first had to decide what city we wanted to be close to, and we all decided on being between Philly and NYC for our first spot. That would also put us a bit closer to Corey’s cabin. We decided to let Corey in on it, and he and Javi both were putting up $10 million each.As we started to get plans together, we were hopeful this initial investment would be enough to fund maybe three or four villages until we could start getting other donations. I had never been so excited and consumed by something, it gave me such hope and it was the breath of fresh air we all needed.Corey’s dearest Perry, of course acted as our counsel and was helping with the paperwork to begin a non-profit. Javi had a lead on a 70 acre lot in Doylestown, just north of Philly and only about three hours from Corey’s cabin.
Gifted Shadows 82 - I Know These Guys
The day after the presser we were all just exhausted. I was beat from the incessant questioning from dad and Erik. Chris and Mary were leaving in the morning and going to spend the rest of the visit on their own.I finally got dad and Erik to leave us alone and I was so ready for some quality time with my husband.Dad hadn’t even been gone for five minutes when the doorbell rang, and I thought maybe he’d forgotten something.Javi answered the door and there stood two men … one was older and the other looked like the Hulk. Javi must have been expecting them because his eyes lit up and he welcomed them in. They came in and the older man sat at the kitchen table with a briefcase, handcuffed to his wrist.What the heck?

The death of Maziar reverberated through the region and the other actors who were also working on the bomb intel were backing away. There was really no other option.Javi said before they left Maziar’s house, they threw cooking oil and liquor on his white boards and lit them on fire, after taking pictures of it all. I didn’t care to look at any of it, I wanted to forget it desperately.Noora had to die for their stupid bomb.They gave the information to Scott, and whatever he was going to do with it, I wasn’t sure I cared. Various news outlets were already reporting wild stories, some true and some nowhere near true.The agency would not be releasing that I killed Maziar and Hashem, and I
Gifted Shadows 80 - Good Luck With This One
After Fletch left I sat by myself on the couch for a few minutes, and tried to process what just happened. My head was spinning and I felt like I was going to throw up. I knew Javi would press me to know what we talked about, and I don’t know if I could tell him Fletch wanted to propose.Would he second guess himself?Would he always wonder in the back of his mind if that was who I really wanted?He was always so nuts whenever another guy was around, knowing that another man offered me a ring, whew that’s heavy shit. I was torn, but I also operated under the assumption I would likely never see Fletch again.In the end of my own pep talk, I decided not to tell him. I picked the rubberband up off the arm of the couch and wrapped it aroun
Gifted Shadows 79 - Rubberband
I tried to figure out how to ask Javi to marry me while we were in Europe. I didn’t care if he put a rubber band on my finger, I was beyond in love with him and that was all I needed.There were sandwiches waiting for us on the second plane and we pretty much inhaled them. I also had an ice cold coke, and it was phenomenal. With a full belly and a hopeful mind, I fell asleep with my head in Javi’s lap.“Wake up baby, we made it,” Javi said whispering in my ear.I opened my eyes and looked out the window, the sun was coming up.“A new dawn, a new day,” I said.“Exactly why I don’t want to wait baby, I had Toby find a pastor on base, if you’ll s
Gifted Shadows 78 - Run
None of us slept, we were all just running on adrenaline at this point.The pilot on the plane was going to meet us and smuggle us on. Javi said the pilot, who was this businessman’s usual guy, was actually retired Air Force and happy to help us. Javi didn’t think it was fair that the pilot not know what he was getting into. I couldn’t believe the lengths people were going to, for us ... for total strangers and it kept bringing tears to my eyes.Marcus arranged for a van to take us to the airport and my heart was racing. Javi didn’t let go of my hand and he was making me hot and sweaty. We were on a dirt access road and it was pitch black, but I hoped that would work in our favor.I could see the plane, it was about a only about a quarter mile away. There was a van with the
