Lurking in the Dark - Book 2 Never
He took his time with a reply. It was clear to him that this topic was quite delicate for me and that is why he only opened his mouth when we were halfway through the open-plan office and I wasn't even expecting an answer. "You should see them before we're cooped up with them in a van with them tomorrow.""I'm not sure it will make that much of a difference.""Believe me, it will be."Maybe, maybe not, just the prospect of seeing her right now, made my tension rise again. Not just because of what they'd done, but because of what they stood for. A shattered childhood, an orphan, the Venator's profession. It was only because of these proles that I became a Venator.When I was a little kid I always wanted to be a vet, or maybe a chimney sweep. Chimney sweeps brought luck and I liked the idea of bringing luck. Of course, I knew that these were a six-year-old's dreams, but without the events of that time, I wouldn't be who I was today.I couldn't tell if tha

“Jilin's request surprised me a little. It is not exactly common to get reinforcements from other guilds for a comparably simple mission. ""We just want to make sure that the Iubas get to their destination without incident," I remarked a little pointedly. Now he couldn't ignore me anymore. "Hi, it seems you haven't noticed me yet, there is no other way I can explain your rude behavior. I am Grace Shanks, Venator Grace Shanks. "The look I got from Diccon Faust could only be seen as condescending. "Yes, very pleased," was all he said to me before turning back to Reese. "Is there any reason to believe that an incident might occur?"Why did he ask him the question now?"Not that we know of." Reese put his left hand back into his jacket pocket. I knew exactly that he was now holding his pack of cigarettes in his hand. But I also noticed how he gave me a look out of the corner of my eye. "But you can never have enough people who make sure that the proles do not p

"You might be right about that." Her lips curled up in a smug smile before she turned her full attention to me. “Hi, I'm Tiffany. Tiffany winner. ""Grace." I turned around until I was face to face with her. Immediately her smile slipped a little. Well, the memory of my childhood, a long scar that ran across my mouth to my chin, she had apparently not noticed before. “Maybe we should all pull paper bags over our heads. After all, nobody here wants to sully your sensitive sensitivity to aesthetics. "Her mouth stayed closed. It wasn't that she avoided my gaze, she just suddenly didn't seem to feel so comfortable in her skin anymore. Yes, something like that could happen if you made such a big mistake.I didn't say anything else either, just fixed her for a few silent seconds and then walked past her to the counter, where the lady behind was on the phone with someone. As I stood next to Reese, I felt her gaze on my back and when he automatically put his arm around my

Shoot the Iubas, but unfortunately that was not an option. The only thing I could do was make my way to Potsdam to face these monsters, or just forget about the whole thing. Unfortunately, it was already clear to me that this was one of the things I couldn't simply forget. My parents' murderers had been found and even if they could no longer harm anyone, they would still be alive. Locked up for the rest of her life, but still alive.“You made up your mind a long time ago,” Reese says quietly.Oh yes? "How did I decide?"“Don't be so stupid. The thought of these critters won't leave you alone until you have convinced yourself that they are no longer a danger to anyone. "Oh yes, Reese's direct manner was refreshing every day. "As long as they live, they will always be a danger." Every prole was a danger until it had breathed its last breath.Reese felt for his pants pocket only to find there were no cigarettes in there. Good thing, smoking was forbidden

Very carefully and without making the slightest noise, Cherry put one paw on the graying carpet and then remained motionless again. The next step took several seconds. She fixed the little toy mouse without even blinking.When the mouse didn't move, it took another step, then suddenly began to wiggle its buttocks vigorously and fell off. The great huntress had already grabbed her unsuspecting prey and battered it with teeth and claws to show her who was the boss here."Cherry," I warned the white cat because she had messed up the photos of my parents on the floor during her maneuver and pushed her aside.Out of shock, or simply because she was having a lot of fun, she threw the mouse in a high arc and then rushed under the bed with a monkey tooth. Calm returned and there was only a forgotten mouse and two reflective eyes under the bed that watched me very closely - could still give me something to eat.Cherry was a white longhair cat that wa

“The transport for the Iubas is planned for Saturday. If you wish, I will send you and Reese to Potsdam to attend the transfer of the proles to Historia. ""And where is the part where we can just shoot them?" Rees asked grumbling."You must not be killed."My eyes started to burn. "You killed my parents.""Yes, this assumption is obvious."Suddenly her calm manner pissed me off. There was this feeling, this damned injustice and the helplessness that I had struggled with my entire childhood and suddenly I couldn't sit down any longer. I jumped up, yanked the folder off the table, and tossed it across the office. "Those monsters killed my parents!""Shanks."I slapped Reese's hand away when he reached for me. "Why are these beasts allowed to live ?! We should burn them alive! "Jilin was not disturbed by my outburst. "That is against the law.""Fuck the law!" I turned around and pushed the chair aside, simply becaus

I guess I just said that." Jilin adjusted the folder in front of him a little. “It was really just a coincidence. And only because of this, the other three Iuba were not killed, but captured. They also have numbers in their ears. ""Who tattoos proles?" I asked.Reese seemed confused too. "Historia does that."“Yes, but they haven't been to Historia yet. Or?"Jilin shook his head. “No, they weren't, but Reese's train of thought is not bad. These three Iuba also come from a research institution. Only this was directed by our esteemed Doctor Christopher Krynick. "My mouth opened, but no sound came out."Wait a minute," Reese said, leaning forward a little. "Are you saying that these three Iubas are from the first generation?"The first generation, the proles, who were born in the research laboratory of the dear doctor and thus were the forefathers of all descendants today."It looks like this." Jilin ran her fi

I let out a gush of air and looked at the police car. Reese nodded to the officer at the car, gave final instructions, and then turned to me.When he looked at me with that slightly disgruntled expression on his lips, I couldn't help but smile. I had known him for more than three years now and he hadn't changed a bit during that time. Sometimes I believed that he was the only hold that still ensured that I didn't just collapse today.The past was over, but it continued to accompany the present like a shadow.Reese came to a stop right in front of me and looked at me as if trying to figure out what my smile meant since I was actually still mad at him."Do you actually know that I love you?" I asked him quietly.He raised an eyebrow a little. "You just wanted to strangle me, or did I misunderstand something?""One doesn't exclude the other." I wrapped my arms around him and leaned my head against his chest. Even through the coat I could hear h
