    Chapter 1

    The glowing digital clock on the dashboard of Simon’s Vauxhall Corsa read 2:14 AM. The numbers seemed to blur together, bleeding a harsh, acidic red into the dark cabin of the car. He was exhausted. It was a bone-deep, soul-hollowing kind of exhaustion that only came from spending nine hours in a windowless room, wearing a scratchy company-mandated polyester polo shirt, explaining to people twice his age how to reset their router passwords. His throat felt like sandpaper. His eyes burned from st
  2. It's a war for control of the firm. I will get into the factions, and what the situation is inside.
  3. Kellerman is a senior partner, of many. He can threaten Merrick but ultimately $$$ is the real motivator. If the AW deal falls through, Merrick is their only large scale client, and Kellerman will be voted down. So I see Kellerman's position as largely posturing. Gable, Strathmore, and Pierce are the voices that count.

    Declan's sheer horror at the shorts... that's an assault on his aesthetic pride, and he will not have it. Esca declared war on Declan, and Declan's bringing the snark

    Chapter 18

    18 The heavy, rusted door of the 1972 Chevy Impala closed with a solid, metallic clunk that felt like a vault sealing shut. Andy sat in the driver’s seat, his long, pale fingers gripping the cracked vinyl of the steering wheel. The interior of the car smelled faintly of old leather, gasoline, and the lingering, musky scent of wet dog. It smelled like safety. It smelled like the first real home he had known in three centuries. He didn't turn the ignition key right away. I

    YES! a new chapter... I've got my popcorn, time to read.
  10. this one went a bit John Grisham.
  11. Yes, as we learned from Carter's Echo, Charles Levesque is not a patient man, and Merrick is terrified of him for good reason. The Levesque crime family will want their money that's sitting waiting to be laundered. Merrick is on a running clock.
  12. So we're about halfway through this one. I am revising chapters as we go, I believe there's about 16 more chapters in total. The knives are out, and things are going to get ugly. Andrew, however... well... you'll see

  14. I'm pretty sure Peter wants a round two. Good Morning
  15. The holding cell in the Scarborough precinct was a masterclass in institutional despair, designed specifically to strip away the lingering arrogance of anyone forced to occupy it. The walls were constructed of heavy, brutally uneven cinderblocks, painted a sickly, peeling shade of seafoam green that seemed to absorb the meager light rather than reflect it. Above, protected by a heavy wire cage, a single fluorescent bulb emitted a relentless, high-pitched, mechanical hum that drilled directly int

    Chapter 17

    Esca Tyrell exerting control by grinding, mind numbing and all encompassing colonization of Andy's world. He has zero ways to fight this. "Hi mister police officer, this guy is stalking me by claiming to be my dad..." "Your id all says he is your dad... and you're a kid" "No, it's all fake... he's really an immortal vampire lord..." "Sure kid. You know it's a crime to prank the police. Now hang up before we call your dad."

    Chapter 17

    17 The autumn air in Oak Creek possessed a crisp, biting chill that signaled the inevitable death of summer, but the true apex predator of Elm Street remained entirely unbothered by the changing seasons. He was a massive, battle-scarred ginger tabby cat with a notch missing from his left ear, a tail that kinked at an unnatural angle near the tip, and an attitude that bordered on the divine. The neighborhood had unofficially named him Barnaby, though he answered to no one. He was a cr
  18. Merrick is tap dancing in dangerous territory. And even though Andrew's been distracted, the Dark Sovereign's awake, and watching.
  19. Your well loved Aka, your posts always brighten my day
  20. I'd be more concerned with Merrick's health, once Andrew gets through with him.
  21. Who said it failed?
  22. Peter will leave that connection for the RCMP, they have to have something to do.
