Getting Information

The slight change in expression on Laura's face at the word fiancé was not lost on Cadence, and even though Laura tried to hide it from her, as she did her growing fear, Cadence was willing to exploit it. "Oh, you didn't see my ring? He's got fine taste, that one." She held her ring up to the light so Laura could have a better view."You're engaged to... Aaron?" Laura asked."Sure am,

Planning a Take Down

In the apartment where Laney was being held, Shane and Meagan were not only providing assurance that she didn't attempt to escape and free her sister, they were also present as she watched the interrogation of her sister, Laura, the result of which was more than a few tears being shed by the younger of the two.When Cadence entered the room, followed closely by Aaron, it was evident that Laney had been crying. She began to formulate an apology, but then remembered what Aaron had said and hardened her expression instead. This was no time to show weakness. She hadn't seen Laney since arriving ba

Biting the Bullet

The US Customs and Boarder Control Office in Miami, Florida was just like any typical government office. A flag flew out front, assuring Hannah and Aurora that they had reached the appropriate building, and when they entered the agents were as unfriendly and uncooperative as one might expect from their governmental cousins in similar offices. Aurora approached the counter, badge in hand, with Hannah standing over her shoulder, concentrating on persuading the wiry, dark-haired agent to be cooperative.It took him several minutes to notice the women at all, staring blankly at a computer screen i

Finding Finn

"We believe Finn is hiding out within the cave system here, although it's possible he could be finding shelter any number of places out here on the mountain range. There are some old hiker cabins, plenty of rock formations, areas with dense foliage." Morgan concluded her explanation standing behind Sylvia's chair, both hands grasping the black leather, surveying the team to see what questions they had. Clearly, she had been doing this a long time, and Cadence was impressed with her polished skills--despite the odd looks she kept giving Aaron."How large of an area are we talking about?" Jamie

Moving In

Tracking Travis ended up being less difficult than they would have imagined. It turned out he was a straightforward sort of a Vampire. He basically seemed to stick to Highway 89 as he approached the Crazies and there were plenty of accounts of seeing a suspicious character, as well as the body of one elderly drifter that never made the evening news.Aaron was content to let Cadence make the calls, under his careful observation, and once she verified Travis was holed up for the day in a shed behind an old abandoned home near the foothills of the Crazies, she decided to coordinate the hunt for t

Responsibility

As much as Cadence appreciated having the opportunity to plan the attack and place everyone in position, she was not confident enough in her own ability to actually call the hunt at this point, so she deferred to Aaron and his decades of experience when it came to actually running the show. This would be a little more difficult for him because he would be on the ground, rather than overseeing movement from above, as he generally preferred, but considering the importance of this particular assault, not to mention that he felt compelled to personally cover Cadence, he insisted on coordinating while actually participating. Cadence agreed that it was for the best and that if anyone could multi-task in such a stressful situation, it was the Guardian Leader.

Revenge

As if they were actually heeding Finn’s words, the helicopters pulled away, leaving him in darkness. An uneasy feeling overcame him. For a moment, he began to wonder if they had actually left him. Had they listened to his pleas? He glanced over the top of the bolder again, hesitantly, and saw nothing. He ducked back again, just in case. Listening intently, he froze. In the darkness around him, he no longer heard the footfalls of the LIGHTS team members. The helicopters were far enough off now, he could hardly see or hear them. Keeping his gun drawn, he slowly stood, preparing to run again. Just as he got to his feet, a force hit him squarely in the chest, the impact jarring him much like a runaway freight train colliding with the side of a mountain. As he careened through the air, he reali

What's Changed

“I’m honestly not sure what’s going on,” Jamie admitted. Cadence and Aaron were sitting across from him at his desk in his own lab. “Everything looks fairly similar to the way it looked before. I pulled up your charts from your last physical, which was about a year ago, and there are some elevated levels of certain strands in your DNA that weren’t there before, but nothing that should result in what we saw in Billings.”Aaron looked disappointed. “So, nothing that points to inflated supernatural abilities?”

Mysterious Stranger

It was all Cadence could do to keep from flinging herself through the door. Aaron pulled her back. “Calm down, Cadence. We don’t want to scare him,” he said quietly.She nodded and took a deep breath before opening the door. Mrs. Carminati was sitting behind her desk, her mouth open, ready to introduce the visitor, but Cadence didn’t give her a chance. “Hi,” she said doing her best to contain her enthusiasm.

Plans for the Future

Brandon continued to nod, taking in all of the information. After a few moments, he said, “Well, I appreciate your help. I’m glad to at least know who my dad was—even if this all seems a bit… crazy.”“It’s not uncommon for people to feel that way once they find out the truth,” Aaron assured him. “Tell you what, why don’t you take my card, and if you have any questions, or if you decide you want to join our team, we’d love to have you. Your dad was a really special person, and you are an awful lot like him.” Aaron pulled a
