Not the Expected
While no one could run interference like Elliott could, Aurora had gotten a lot of practice lately, and soon the two employees were settled down and in their cars headed home, probably a bit shaken up but no longer fearing for their lives. The rest of the team began to assemble in the back of the building where they had initially met.
Aaron switched to the IAC for privacy’s sake. “I always thought that, no matter how mad we were at each other, we would continue to operate cohesively.”

Aaron’s touch made her tingly, like it always did, but it also made her want to flinch away. She didn’t. Nor did she disagree with what they were saying. After they were done having their chuckle, she said, “Eventually, instinct kicks in. For me, anyway. I don’t really think about what I’m doing. It’s like I see the movements that I need to make laid out in front of me, and I just follow that path.”“But what if the Vampire moves?” Ashley asked, clearly hanging on her every word.

Aaron was no fool, and he had done the only thing a sane person would do and left her alone that night. When Cadence woke up the next morning, there was no sign at all that he’d even been home except for his clothes from the night before in the hamper in the guest bathroom and a slightly damp towel hanging on the rod behind the door.She’d finally fallen asleep the night before after tossing and turning for hours, trying to determine her best course of action. Jamie’s suggestion had been a good one, and it seemed like the smartest location for her to head to for clear skies w

Cadence watched Aaron exit the building completely before she headed over to where Aurora stood with her clipboard in hand, whistle in mouth.“Aurora,” she called as she got within a few yards, “can I have a moment, please?”“Sure thing,” the other hunter called, momentarily stepping away from her troops. “What’s up? You finally going to tell m

Now that Cadence had that taken care of, she decided to stop by and see how Meagan was doing since she hadn’t gotten a chance to talk to her recently. She found the shorter brunette outside on the obstacle course where she had a group of Hunters flying through the obstructions. Cadence noticed Ashley from a distance and forced herself to smile at her as if she were noticing a friend. Meagan was not nearly as tough on her people as Aurora, and she was shouting words of encouragement from the sidelines like a cheerleader.“How’s it going?” Cadence asked sidling up beside
The Clandestine Saga Ashley
The first thing she did when she arrived in her apartment was contact her sister and let her know that Brandon would be picking her up Saturday instead of Cadence. While she was clearly put-out, she was also in the middle of algebra class and couldn’t argue and concentrate on instruction at the same time. Cadence assured her that she would fill her in on everything as soon as she could but that this mission was top secret, and Aaron didn’t even know about it. Cassidy’s profound response had been a resounding, “Whatev.”Cadence spent the rest of the afternoon talki

“Just calm down,” Jamie repeated in a serene voice as he sat on her couch. Cadence was not sitting. She was pacing, furiously, back and forth. Luckily, she’d been able to control her anger long enough to set the urn back down without heaving it across the room. It sat on the mantel again, reminding her that her fiancé was not to be trusted.“Why would he do that?” she asked probably for the hundredth time since Jamie had shown up, five minutes after she’d called him on the IAC shrieking about what Aaron had done, which had been about twenty minutes ag
The Clandestine Saga Intruders
“All right, we’ll do rock, paper, scissors, and whoever loses has to go in first, got it?” Mike O’Shea said in a sharp whisper, his pale face barely visible in the streetlights beneath his dark green hoody. A sharp wind blew the leaves around them, causing them to screech across the concrete sidewalk, and a shiver went up his spine.“There’s no way I’m going down there at all,” his girlfriend, Tiffany Dickens, cried. She was wearing a faux fur coat and no hood, leaving her standing in the shadow of the brick wall shivering.
The Clandestine Saga Magic Elliott
Most nights, Cadence either dreamt that Jack was chasing her or had no dreams at all. This night, however, she dreamt that she was with Elliott. They were at a basketball game, and though she had very little interest in the sport, she recognized Larry Bird and Magic Johnson on the court. He was sitting next to her, clapping and cheering, and soon she found herself cheering right along with him. She couldn’t remember ever seeing him so happy. Every time the Lakers scored, he jumped out of his seat, applauding and whooping along with the other Los Angeles fans.Eventually, she leaned over,
