Sophia's face was a mask of determination. "All these years, I'd be six feet under if it was not for your tech wizardry helping me track and ditch the tail. Don't you sweat it.

Alan had been down in the dumps lately, what with Ethan's health going downhill."What's up?"Helma let out a weary sigh. "I talked with the head over at Greenville First Hospital. Sounds like your brother's not doing too well."Alan's face clouded over, and Helma was quick to buoy his spirits with

After pulling two all-nighters, Helma had the report materials ready to go.The research center was deserted.She stretched, yawned, and glanced at the clock. One AM.She powered down her computer and left, still yawning.Once she was gone, a sneaky figure slipped into the office...Deputy Commander
