Steven tossed a wad of bills on the desk, "You can stand to make this much additional a month if you give us what you want. If not, that's fine. You're not the...

The two men were walking with the group, but their Tao was not good.<br><br>Peter trusted his hunches as he sped up slowly. This could be bait to smoke him out...
Lorelei laughed as the champagine arced into her glass. Steven poured it into her cup, jumping back as it sloshed on the floor.<br><br>"There goes my...
Virgil came back with a full cup. Lorelei smiled and drank a sip.<br><br>You know, she thought to herself, he does look cute. I wonder if he'd...<br><br>She ...
Teri followed Parkers gaze casually, looking past the two men to the store behind them, hiding her observation. A moment later, she turned to face Parkers as...
Shada turned face the man before her. He was one of Teri's bunch- she'd thought her looked familiar. She had to admit though, he had buts, coming in her ...
Kat noticed them right away. She sidled closer to Alex, and whispered, "Looks like we got a tail."<br><br>He muttered back, "Took you that long to notice? So ...
Teri arched an eyebrow as the two men went down.<br>"The heck-"<br>She broke off as saw Kat slip out from the shadows, and make her way back towards the group ...
Steven looked up at the guard over him, "I hate this part."<br><br>He grabbed him by the belt and hauled him over as Shada's gun coughed twice. The man jerked...
Kat jumped in Parker's threat index from 15 to 3.<br><br>"OK, time to go, everyone. Nice and orderly. Nothing to see here.", he quietly began to steer the...
Lorelei jumped when she felt the Prime spike. She watched two men drop, clutching their chests in pain. <br><br>Teri took her and began pulling her back. ...
Alex blinked in surprise, "Bugger me. Evil shot, ain't she?" He grinned a bit as he noticed the two fellas go down. Kat briefly glanced back at them. ...
Parkers approached Kat gingerly, "If you're not back in twenty, I'm coming back for you."<br><br>Kat gave him a steely glance.<br><br>"OK, let's go then.", he...
Lorelei watched Parkers take off down the hall with Peter. Which left her to watch over the group.<br><br>She kept her attention focused ahead of her. She ...
"First things first, we get out of here." Teri looked back, thinking of the two Tech agents.<br>"I don't think the Technocracy's going to be happy when they...
Shada struggled furiously with her binds. That bastard! She couldn't wait till she got free. First, she was going to rip his arms off, and then she was going ...
Spade lounged at the bar with Victor, the two of them nursing a large bottle Tenessee whiskey, the best there was.<br>"So, where exactly did Teri take of to?" ...
Steven walked quickly into the lobby and watched Spade knock back another drink. One minute to spare -- Roman efficiency strikes again.<br><br>He tapped Spade ...
Alex wasn't sure who was gripping whom more tightly. Tara peered around solemnly.<br><br>"We're being watched," she said quietly.<br><br>Alex grimaced, "Yeah,...
Lorelei looked around quickly, she saw a flash of tan as Alex disappeared into thin air.<br><br>"Damn his Union Jack kissing, tea drinking, scone buttering,...
Parker's thoughts were a swirl of half-muttered obscenitites and harsh rebukes.<br><br>It was all a trap.<br><br>Whoever was doing this was good. They managed...
Spade frowned at Steven.<br>"What do you've been made? What the hell did you do?"<br>Victor snorted behind his drink.<br>"Apparently something insane."<br>"Who...
Parkers ran down the hall. His chronometer blinked -- Kat was past the due time and she was no where to be seen.<br><br>"Computer, access active roster for Las...
Teri sighed as her cell phone went off. She considered ignoring it, but it had the most persistent ring she had ever heard. After the fifth, she sighed, and ...
