Chapter 26: Tabula Rasa
Chapter 26: Tabula Rasa I uncurled myself and got up from the couch. I stretched, and heard him banging around in the kitchen. I walked in to see if I could help. He had gotten the food out of the oven and it was resting on hot plates on the table. The plates and utensils were still where I had left...

Chapter 25: Ordinary, Yeah Right
Chapter 25: Ordinary, Yeah Right Thirty minutes, I could wait. I walked into his kitchen, and saw the food on the table. It was in plastic containers, so it wasn’t Chinese. If he was like me, he never got oriental food in the US. It was always just a weak imitation of the real stuff. I preheated the...

Chapter 24: Dumping Grounds
Chapter 24: Dumping Grounds She shrugged and made her way into the kitchen. I knew she was hungry and I wondered if she would wait for me, actually listen or eat anyway. She couldn’t have stayed in the bathroom. Gees, I would I have talked my way out of it. I would have and then I wouldn’t have to...

Chapter 23: Still Kickin’ (continued)
“No” came a sly greasy voice. “We have orders to bring you in to see him.” I heard a gun cock. Shit. I knew I could get to them without being seen. Their backs would be to me, and Brishen would be trained enough not to react to me. “I though I had a truce no armed men enter through my door. If they...

Chapter 23: Still Kickin’
Chapter 23: Still Kickin’ I was stiff. I guess that was understandable. I had basically spent the last five days down for the count, but my muscles worked themselves out by the time I made it to the bathroom. I turned on the water and waited for it to warm up. The bathroom was small, almost exactly...

Chapter 22: Realization (continued)
I opened my heavy lids. I felt so much better than I did the last time I woke up, I guess the poison had done a number on me. I reach up with my left hand and felt the base of my neck. There was a welt from the injection. It made me shutter. I hate needles, hate them and the idea of one sinking into...

Chapter 22: Realization
Chapter 22: Realization I was back at the compound. Well, at least I wasn’t in the compound. I was running in the woods amongst the trees I knew so well. It was raining, but the rain drops were slowed in their descent to earth by the thick foliage. The clouds blocked the sun. In the wind I heard a...

Chapter 21: Story (Brishen)
Chapter 21: Story “I’m going to tell you a little story. I know I’ve already sung you a lullaby, and the story generally comes first, but hey, when do we ever follow the rules.” I didn’t know when she would wake up, but I felt the need to tell her this. I looked at her calm face, and I still had her...

Chapter 20: Apologies Suck (Chad)
Chapter 20: Apologies Suck “ Chad ” her voice called. “Come on. You have to find me.” Her laugh floated through the air. I couldn’t tell where it was coming from. And I couldn’t see her. She ran up behind me, and blew on past. “Never were good at hide and seek.” She disappeared around a corner....

Chapter 19: It’s Alright (Brishen)
Chapter 19: It’s Alright God, I am such an idiot. Of all the things to forget, I had to forget the dude put a poison in them too. At least I had the antidote. I don’t think she’ll suffer any permanent damage. I pulled the chair up, and sat next to the bed again. I was getting attached, and it wasn’t...

Chapter 18: A Slight Mishap
Chapter 18: A Slight Mishap Great, just great. I’ve exchanged one lock and key for another, and I didn’t even bring the stupid sandwich with me. It would have been nice to have something to eat, but I know can handle hunger. I’ve done it before. Now what? I was sitting on the floor, my back to the...

Chapter 17: Between a Rock and a Hard Place (continued)
“So, you going to stand there like a pretty statue staring at the food like its going to explode? Or are you going to sit down like you promised?” he asked patiently. That really bugged me. How’s he so damn calm when I’m freaking out? “I had my fingers crossed.” “No you didn’t. I was holding them...

Chapter 17: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
(Hawk) Chapter 17: Between a Rock and a Hard Place “Fine. Spill already. You weigh a fricking ton.” He chuckled. I found nothing funny about this. I hated being restrained, in any fashion. And this was by far the worst, because there was actual man-power behind it. “I went there with orders to kill...

Chapter 16: Damn Disk
Chapter 16: Damn Disk I still can’t believe what I did to Mike. He was a jerk, but he didn’t deserve that. I looked down at my hands again. Swollen, and from what I could see through the scabs the knuckles were purple. The next thing I knew I was looking at the number 83. I touched the handle, and...

Chapter 15: Awakening continued (Hawk and Brishen)
She began to breathe irregularly, and I wondered why for a moment. Then it dawned on me. She was in pain. Who wouldn’t be, I inflicted major damage with that one shot. And the sedative has it own adverse affects as well. And I being the genius I am forgot some pain meds. Some morphine would be good...

Chapter 15: Awakening (Hawk)
Chapter 15: Awakening I was floating in a black abyss. The nothingness that stretched itself before me was daunting but not frightening. I wondered occasionally, when I could form a conscious thought where I was going. At times it felt as if the darkness cradled me in its arms and hurried me closer...

Chapter 14: The Watcher continued (Brishen)
I sat down in my chair and watched her. Her hair had spread out in a dark hallow around her head. And her breathing was slow and shallow. Around 2 in the morning, the blood was done, so I took the IV out of that hand. I must have fallen asleep, cause the next thing I know it was morning. The saline...

Chapter 14: The Watcher (Brishen)
Chapter 14: The Watcher As I cruised down the highway, I debated with myself over if I should drop her off before or after I stopped at the hospital. I finally decided on going straight to the hospital. She wasn’t going to be going anywhere for a while and she probably needed the blood. I would just...

Chapter 13: Gone continued
(Chad's mind still) He yelled and swiped everything off the table he was just sitting next to. The lamp, pictures, and books flew everywhere. I sat up, ready for him to come at me next, all too aware of the lack of movement I had but he sat back down and put his head in his hands. “So he got her...
