I set up my computer and as I was getting ready to pull up the numbers to explore I had a message waiting from Sage. tWT: Open the tracking program. You should go here next. I typed a response quickly. N: Thanks. Why? I opened up the program and found the little blip on the…

I was early. I worked on the things Dae’lin had on my desk the bits and pieces of reports she wanted information on. Boring but mostly just notes on things I’d found out. And I hadn’t found much out working on this case so it was pretty quick work. I noticed Dad and Bernstein were…

My dreams were epic until they weren’t. I remembered more of the things I’d forgotten with Alex. I remembered the first time we met and how much I needed a friend after Mushu died. I remembered it in a sad way. Mushu dying, but finding my imaginary friend there was a paramount moment in my…

I saw the pile of work on my bed and I knew I needed a shower. My mind wandered to other things I could use my bed for and I sighed. Alex still hadn’t gotten back to me. But I pushed work from my mind and I took that much needed shower after eating the…

Returning the Favor I didn’t actually go to Alex’s fancy apartment, his fucking friend had me running again. Who the fuck did she think she was? But the fact that she was looking for him was also concerning. I eventually made it back to my apartment where my brothers were laughing in the kitchen. “You…

I sat there for a while before I sent Alex a text. N: I’m going to come over, I need to talk to you. I didn’t wait for an answer. I knew he wasn’t going to answer me. He was ignoring me, we had a fight two days ago, and he didn’t want to talk.…

It wasn’t long before I was running up the stairs of the Apex Unlimited building to the Infirmary. I’d forgotten all about my appointment with Margo today. I was pushing being late on top of my anxiety for all the shit I was doing and not doing and the fucking change. Margo had rescheduled me.…

We walked for a little while before Ant took my elbow. Ryan intoned, “Take a deep breath, close your eyes and trust in Ant.” As we stepped through the shadows to the dojo we always shifted into. It was always dark and empty and no one else really used it. For the second time I…

The dragon looked up at me with a sneer on his face but he couldn’t breathe so the gasp sort of ruined the look that was supposed to instill fear in me. And he couldn’t answer because the pressure was so great. “I’ll let up the pressure, but if try to kill me I’m going…

If I were hiding bombs I’d do the ones closest to home last. It would be the easiest place to be recognized. Even in a City this large, there were regulars. Your neighborhood was still small, thousands of people but still small in consideration. And most people didn’t venture outside of their neighborhoods except for…

I was wrong about the time it would take me to get to the Night Life building. I made it in 8 instead of 10. A new best. The fate of my home at stake probably had something to do with it. The doors to the elevator hadn’t opened fully when a hand reached in…

I didn’t waste time trying to explain Sage to the men who were now standing behind me. I pulled up the cameras in the area of the first X I had looked at. Nothing overly important in the area. It’d be simpler if we had more than one set of eyes looking at one set…

I took my maps and laid them out on the table in the fishbowl. I started looking up the locations on my phone to see what the locations were. The satellite view was an epic invention. Sure they could be years old but at least you had a good idea of what was there. And…

I parted ways with Armande. He promised to have someone on the door as soon as they arrived. Until that time he was having the cameras monitored and the ward that sensed me coming in to their most sensitive setting. It was funny how much magic and technology matched each other. It really was no…

I pushed the door open and the smell of fertilizer and other foreign things hit me in the face so hard I took a step backwards like I’d been bowled over by the smell alone. This wasn’t good. I stepped inside and looked for anything out of the ordinary. I saw no new items. It…

I knocked on the door and waited for a response. I didn’t get one. And I didn’t sense anyone inside but my ability wasn’t like knowing. I didn’t hear anything. I didn’t smell a strong scent of dragon. And every magical creature ever leaves behind a little bit of a magic trail and if a…

So I made my way back into Harlem, I had already visited Armande once this week and inquired about the dragons in his area. He had mentioned one was taking up safe harbor in the building recalling he always smelled like burning things. Which was a dragon thing so nothing really to worry about. I…
