It was good to hear the old Barracuda rumbling again. She still needed new paint and body work, but I’d had the day to kill, so the engine was back in top shape. I let the motor purr for a second in the hotel lot, before I shut it off. “That kid, I’ll tell you.” I shook my head as I stood up out of the car. “Knives everywhere, not even kidding. And the catsuit, with the heels? Is that a thing? That’s what the kids are doing these days?” Honey got out of the other side, brushing a stray...

“Holy fucking hell did ya see that shit? I’m some kick ass driver right, I mean if there was anyone else behind the wheel they’d have been Swiss Cheese but not this guy. Seriously babe, I can take ya anywhere faster than anyone else. You just say the word and we’ll bug the hell otta here.” As I approached the punk was leaning close to Ren and talking animatedly. It looked for all the world like a mouse hitting on a cat. “Oh Hex, there you are.” I could feel palpable relief from her over the mindlink, “I was...

Black Alice: 43) End Game

Grace caught Leonard’s arm, turning him towards the stairs behind us. “Come on, sir.

I glanced over my shoulder at the staircase even as the shadow was telling me about crumbling concrete and wood rot. Grace followed my gaze. “What? Is something wrong up there?” “No, but you’ll want to...

“How is Burnham still alive?” Mec was relighting his cigar, “That is a valid question Hex, and one which I also do not have an answer for.” “Well then I’ll just have to ask him myself.” I paused and gave him a level look, “I think you shouldn’t be here when Ren wakes up.” “What?

Black Alice: 42) Anticlimax

The vampires were literally steps away from us, so Irish waded into those first, leaving me to deal with the approaching hollowman. I suppose that was a sort of compliment. I kicked at a persistent brick with teeth that kept nipping at my boot, and in the time it took for it to sail across the room, spinning end over end with little feet waggling madly, Irish beheaded two vampires. The rest cruised on past him without so much as a look, fanning out and marching into the mist. I watched them roll forward in a silent flood, some...
