Plan of Attack
Cadence nodded and watched her teammates mount their bikes before turning back to the silent Adonis next to her. He seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes locked on the building before them. Once the roaring engines were far enough away, she turned back to him. "Do you think we should go somewhere else, in case they return? Or do you want to stay here and observe?"
Her voice broke his train of thought. "Oh, uh, we've observed them coming in before. And, oddly enough they do drive a Hummer." Cadence didn't think it was odd at all that she had picked up on that. She had noticed some clues to ind

Despite the fact that she had consumed no alcohol the night before, Cadence awoke feeling as if she had been hit by a Mac truck. The restless nights were starting to add up. By the time she'd made it back to her hotel, met with Aurora and Meagan and went over the new plan, and unwound a little bit, the sun was creeping over the horizon. Even after nearly ten hours of attempting to get even a couple of uninterrupted, consecutive hours of slumber, she finally hauled herself to the shower, hoping the hot water would somehow make her feel as human as a non-human could feel.She spent much of the r

"How's it going, Cale?" Aaron asked as the doctor got within a few feet. He offered his hand, which Cale accepted, the questioning expression still on his face. "I just happened to be in the area, and I heard that you had a pretty significant hunt going on tonight, so I decided to stop by to observe."Cale nodded and then finally spoke. "All right," he said. "I wish I would have known you were going to be around. I feel like you should know the plan."

"They have machine guns?" she asked in disbelief. She had never seen a Vampire use heavy artillery before. In fact, most of them didn't even use guns at all."Apparently," Cale replied."Shit!"

They neared the driver's side window and the Vampire in the back opened fire. It was not a machine gun this time, at least, just a hand gun. Nevertheless, Cadence ducked back inside, fear of getting shot temporarily quelling her bravado.Aaron slowed down a little bit, partially to give her time to regroup and partially because they were approaching another car. He glanced over at her and could tell she was ready to try again, so he cleared the uninvolved minivan and accelerated.
The Clandestine Saga Crash
Just before they reached the trees, Aaron shifted the car into neutral, turned the wheel the other direction, and Cadence instinctively slammed her foot down on the brake. The car spun the opposite way before Aaron corrected it. It came to rest just inches from the trunks of the trees.She didn't realize he had his right arm braced against her until they had completely stopped. Clearly, he had been trying to protect her from the airbag. They locked eyes, and she finally let the breath out she'd been holding for the entire skid.
The Clandestine Saga Take Off
Aaron had just completed his pre-flight check list when Cadence caught up to him. Somehow, he had known she was coming, despite the fact that her IAC was off, and there was no other way he could have known; he just knew.Part of him had hoped she would miss him, that he'd make it off the ground before she arrived. But now that she was here, he was also a little relieved. Better to get this conversation over with now than to let it continue to linger.

It turned out the diner was a little bit more crowded around lunch time, though Cadence and Cale still had no trouble finding a table. After she'd arrived back at the hotel, she had collapsed, finally getting enough consecutive hours of sleep to qualify as more than a catnap. Even at that, she had shot out of bed about five hours later, not only haunted by her dreams but with the events of the night before hitting her full force at the same time.Cale always seemed to wear light colors, which went well with his blond hair and pale eyes.

The Clandestine Saga What's In it For Me?
Eliza Wrath was enjoying her new gig as Leader of the San Francisco Area. It was a pretty easy job. San Fran had its share of Vampires, but most of them had the same relaxed attitude as the humans, and the ratio of Rogues to Compliants was relatively low. Every once in a while she'd have to organize a hunt, but she had a very experienced team, and much of what she did involved nothing more than calling in various members. She actually had a Hunter Leader, as well, something most Guardians couldn't count on anymore, and Daniel had been doing his job so long, he didn't seem to mind making most of the calls. Ultimately, she had all of the power, and none of the work. For her, it was a win-win. She spent a lot of time in her office pretending to look busy while she shopped online.
