Time to Get Up
"Cadence, are you awake?"
Her eyes flickered open for a second, confusion setting in before she promptly shut them. The room was bright--which meant it was morning. Her head wasn't pounding; rather than feeling like she had been hit by a truck, she felt like she could pick one up and throw it.
But she was still confused. She buried her head beneath a pillow before asking, "Why a

Elliott patted her on the shoulder. "I'm sorry, too, kid. I know that's upsetting. But I'd be lying if I didn't say it makes me happy," he added to her alone.She glared at him, saying nothing, before turning back to her breakfast, clearly annoyed at his glee."Well, Eliza will be here in a few minutes," Aaron mentioned, changing the subject. "So, now that we've had a chance to... s

"Wow... I can't believe they bought it," Finn was saying as they all sat around the same laminate-topped table in the cheap hotel outside of Alleghany, California."We're not home free yet," Laura reminded them, absently rubbing at her eye again. "We've got to be ready for anything. Don't expect them to just let us waltz in there with our own weapons, no questions asked. ""We've got to make
The Clandestine Saga Deployment
"What about the north end of the property?" Aaron asked, confused."You can put some people up there if you've got anyone to spare," Laura shrugged. "But we'll be coming in from that direction, so between the three of us, we should have him covered. Besides, this is uphill, and I don't think he can out run us, Cadence anyway, uphill.""Okay," Aaron said, crossing his arms, but resting his ch
The Clandestine Saga Disaster Strikes
Back by the driveway, Elliott was watching Sam rather closely as they covered the only reliable exit to the property. The cowboy was a tricky son-of-a-bitch, and they'd had a run in before, several months ago, when he was bad-mouthing Cadence after the last hunt they had been on together. Elliott hadn't been a fan of Cadence himself at the time, but no one should ever talk to a lady the way that Sam had spoken to Cadence.Meagan had stepped a bit in front of them, clearly trying to see if Cadence was in position yet. "I can't see anything," she mumbled.

"Oh, my God!" Cadence exclaimed just above a whisper. She was vaguely aware that Meagan was sitting on the ground nearby crying. "Jamie!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Where the hell is Jamie?" she yelled, throwing herself on the ground next to her broken friend.The expression on Aaron’s face said it all. "He's hit, too," he choked out.Cadence's eyes widened even further. "

"Cadence! Don't do it!" Aaron had caught up to her. He grabbed her from behind, wrapped one arm around her waist, and lifted her cleanly off of the hysterical woman."Why not?" she argued, flailing. "She deserves it!""You're not a murderer," he reminded her, sitting her on her feet. "You only kill Rogue Vampires. She’ll get what she deserves, but we’ll do it the right way."

Hannah had caught up to her in the lobby and the women had ridden up in silence. Upon exiting the elevator on the hospital level, they were greeted with a whirl of flurry. It was organized chaos, and Archie was there to meet them. They didn't know where Aaron was; he had driven away from them pretty quickly, and Cadence could only assume he was there somewhere. He had shut his IAC off once they had left the scene."Ladies, first of all, I am so very sorry for your loss," Archie said a sympathetic look on his face. "I know Cale is taking good care of your friends, but I'm going to show you dire
The Clandestine Saga View From the Top
The view from the top of the building was spectacular, especially at night. The green, sparkling silhouette of the Silver Legacy Casino, as well as the red ambience of the two Harrah's towers, highlighted a sea of twinkling lights, glitter, and flickering star-like facades. In the distance, the mountains loomed, though they were almost impossible to make out without using night vision. Nevertheless, they were there, standing watch, their menacing beauty a cautionary reminder that looks can be deceiving.Aaron had been sitting there for quite some time, attempting to enjoy the silence. It had b
