"I asked you what we are.""Are you completely crazy ?! You can't ... "It clicked infinitely loudly as Reese unlocked his gun and held it to the back of Seth's head.The intern swallowed and threw a look for help at Aziz, but he just stood there and watched the scene with a frown. "Hey, we can talk about it for sure. I… shit! ”He cursed as Reese tightened the grip on his neck."Answer!"He licked his lips nervously and wondered feverishly what Reese could mean.I could understand that because I hadn't the slightest idea what this was going to lead to. That didn't make sense. Why did he attack Seth?"It will be soon," Reese demanded impatiently."Ve-venators?" Seth simply advised in the dark."What is our job?"Hm, it seemed like the right answer."We kill proles.""Why are we doing this?"Seth licked his lips nervously. "I ... to protect people.""And what do we never do ?

Home

Fortunately, at that moment the Simia-Proles roared again and distracted Taid from our exchange of eyes.But we were discovered by Nick, who came to us with a "Hey!" And a beaming smile. And then, as if he had every right to, he placed a kiss on my cheek.To avoid him, I automatically pushed myself closer to Reese, which didn't really make it any better."You have a problem, my friend," said Taid.Before turning to that, I wiped my cheek demonstratively, which made Nick smile broadly."The cub that you sold me yesterday is dead."What? I looked from Taid to Reese, who had pressed his lips grimly together. He didn't seem to notice how his grip on my shoulder tightened barely noticeably."How?" He asked simply."Well, that's an excellent question." Taid pulled a Zippo out of his pants pocket, which he opened and closed. Open and closed. And open and close. As he did so, he looked down at it, as if to think carefully about the ans

Friend

Home? Home?! He didn't mean the place where I got him out of bed this morning, did he?As we drove past the small coffee shop where I got him his coffee this morning, I realized that that was exactly his goal. “But what about the guild? We have to get the reports ... ""Don't annoy me!" He ranzed at me and fished for the cigarettes in his coat.He could forget that. “The reports have to be submitted daily. The statutes state ... ""Shanks," he growled softly and fixed me with a look so intense that I swallowed involuntarily and almost grabbed Nick's hand just to be able to hold on to something. “Believe it or not, I know the statutes and if it should save your little sunlit world, I have a few forms at home that I will fill out there, so don't bother me anymore, otherwise it was the last one Time that you rode in my car! "After that little speech he was staring somberly through the windshield again."May I annoy you?" Nick

Again

"Coincidentally, this is because the acquaintance in question is with you.""You could see it that way.""That means you can't speak openly right now?"I could almost hear the smile in his voice. "That's not funny.""Yes it is.""I should have asked Eve and not you," I grumbled and played around with the straw in my viscous drink.Nick took a sip from his glass, watching me intensely, as if trying to figure out what was being discussed on the other end."Because Eve knows so much more about guys.""In any case, she wouldn't have teased me."He sighed. “Oh Grace. My little, naive, innocent Grace. I think you are old enough to notice when a guy is flirting with you. "Great. "You're really not much help."“I just don't want to spoil the tension. You'll notice it when he wants something more from you. ""You already know that I love you right now?" I asked extremely sarcastically and saw out

Quickly

It was only when we turned into my street and the tiredness began to make itself felt in me that I became a little calmer. And when Nick parked at my front door and turned off the music, the cocoon of silence around us was almost eerie."Well, thanks for the nice evening and bringing it home," I smiled at him and played with my fingers on the straw from the shop that I had taken for reasons that I knew. "Was really funny with you."He laughed softly. "I'll take that as a compliment.""That's how it was meant," I grinned and looked briefly at the house. The windows were dark. That probably meant that Uncle Roderick had already laid down. "Well, I'll go in then." My fingers felt for the seat belt and loosened it."Grace?"When I looked up, his face was suddenly right in front of mine. When did he lean forward that far?"You are really great, do you know that?""Um ... thanks?" I leaned back a little to bring a reasonable distance betwee

Leg

Here.""Uff!"Reese pounded the folded cage against my chest with so much force that I stumbled backwards. But of course he didn't care. He was already pulling a second cage off the trailer."Could it be a little more friendly?" I let the cage slide to the floor so that I could take it by the handle, when I almost got the next one in the face. "Reese!" Well, tell me, there is something wrong with him."We're not in Pussyland here, so stop complaining and do your job." He pressed the second cage against my chest so that it almost fell off me. Then he pulled two of himself off the trailer and marched back into the park.I followed him at a distance and wondered how I had earned that again. It had been like this all day. If his mood was normally bad, it had hit an all-time low today. And that despite the fact that I had brought him his stupid coffee again today - this time even warm.But that didn't matter. Today he seemed to have made it his b

Ask him

Shit, there was so much blood! I quickly stripped off my jacket and pressed it to the deep wound in the abdomen, trying to feel the pulse on his wrist at the same time and not paying attention to the gaping flesh wound on his face."Damn it, Shanks, do you want to kill yourself ?!"My hand went to his carotid artery and ... there he was. Very weak, but I felt the throbbing on my fingers. "He's alive," I breathed. "Reese, quick, call an ambulance, he's still alive!""Fuck. Put his head back so he can breathe better. ”The cell phone was already on his ear. "And keep your hand on the wound, otherwise ... yes, Venator Tack here, Proles danger zone level red, we have a victim here," Reese said into his cell phone. "Open abdominal wound. The degree of injury ... "I blocked it out while he passed on more details and the address, concentrating entirely on the caretaker and the faint throbbing under my fingers. This man was a hero, he had saved the children

Problem

I turned to him in amazement. Should i ask him?"Finally ask!" He ordered me. But not according to the motto, spit it out, then we'll finally have it behind us, but much more , give me a little normalcy . He seemed nervous again. Did that have something to do with this mansion he had disappeared into? Did he fear I knew what was behind it? But why should that make him nervous? That didn't make sense. Should I ask him about it now?"What should I ask you?"He snorted and started again as soon as the light turned green. "Wherever it's going, of course."Of course, because he certainly wouldn't talk to me about this property. In his opinion, the way he behaved was none of my business. Did that mean it was like Taid again? Did he have any more illegal things to do?"Come on, now do it!"Okay, that was strange. "Where are we driving to?"He didn't answer, just turned the car into the other lane, but I thought I saw something like relief in

Impression

Reese didn't care, just tapped the card with his finger. “The walker was attacked here this morning, the pack was sighted here yesterday, which is why a team has already looked around the area, but just as I couldn't find a trace. So I assume that they only use this park for hunting. There are other green spaces in the vicinity, all just a stone's throw away from each other. The acacia grove, Fennpfuhl, the horseshoe settlement, Krugphul, which is also followed by an allotment garden settlement. All these green spaces are so close together that it cannot be ruled out that the pack may be found there, but I haven't had the time to search them because I was called to a school for an assignment. "Some hissing went around. Schools, kindergartens, hospitals. Large gatherings of weak people, that aroused the protective instinct in every Venator.On the other hand, I felt sick again when I thought of the caretaker.“What Shanks has drawn here are trails an

Hurried

Halfway to the trees, Reese paused and cocked his head. He listened intently, frowned. "I do not hear anything.""Yes, there is ... come here." I waved him over and ran a few more steps towards the whimper.Reese followed me without comment. His ears pricked up, paying attention to every little noise.We ran along the top of the toboggan run, getting closer and closer to the grove on the other side. It wasn't until we were halfway inside that Reese finally seemed to notice it. "Did you hear that?" He looked around, back to the place where we had stood before. It was nearly twenty yards away."I've always had pretty good ears."He gave me an indefinable look before he went further into the little wood, always after the quiet whimper.I followed him, looking around the canopy of the trees. Max had said Bastian could save himself in a tree, so I assumed he was still in it. Oryx couldn't climb. They could jump incredibly high, but their hooves k
