96: Breanne Trains Kerrigan
Targu Province – Kerrigan Lokir
Monday dawned with a glistening sheen of ice coating the snowpack creating a white shell across the world. Kerrigan had been up since before dawn training with Breanna. Sometimes, a vigorous bout with the warrior was the only way to keep warm when the temperatures dropped below -17C and tried to drop further.
Kerrigan twirled with her quarterstaff. Clank, clank, clank!
Breanna stepped back, sweeping

Kerrigan made it to her office reinvigorated from the cold air. She was surprised Natalie had not greeted her as usual, but she had also been a bit later after the morning warm up with Breanne. She set down her bag and slipped her mask back in a drawer, taking out a stack of papers to begin looking over her files for the day. A few minutes later, Natalie arrived with a steaming cup of apple cider with cinnamon. “Bless you, Natalie. At least we can still get this even in this weather.” “Well, it might run out soon if the trains from Bayan don’t come more o

Kelan sat in the Prima’s office looking at a cute young waif of a girl. “I suppose she will do. she looks like she would break as soon as you touch her.” “You will have to be the judge of that, Kelan. Go on, Alina. Go get ready. You will train with Kelan for a while, understand? Learn well from him, and do not disappoint me.” “Yes, Prima.” She said and bowed. “Is there anything I need to be aware of to pack properly?”
Rejected Billionaire 99: Dagdon's reply
Kerrigan Lokir paced around her office. Katie had made it in this morning safely but something had to be done about Kelan. What Kerrigan needed was more information from Dagdon. Katie’s story would only go so far. Natalie had the foresight to help document all of the injuries and bruising, but pressing any sort of charges against Kelan would be a challenge. They needed more. Kerrigan wanted to see Kelan’s world collapse around him. Let him suffer piece by piece for his transgressions. Perhaps Bayan Rail would be the thread that began to unravel it all. She looked down at several maps and figures Natalie had prepared. Bayan Rail was a blade that Kelan had sunk deep, but it could cut both wa
Rejected Billionaire 100: spies and counter spies
Across the street in a dark corner, a man laid atop a roof, camera pointing towards the parking lot. He snapped a series of photos and looked down at the screen. A lady in a white scarf and pink hat matched a similar photo he had of the girl he was to be tracking. He snapped a few more photos as she handed a man a wad of cash. “Well, that’s interesting. What are you buying, little miss?”He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Sir.”“Go ahead.”“I tracked the car you asked me to follow. The girl matches that photo you sent, pink hat and everything. She is meeting some guy. I cannot get a shot of his face, but she handed him a wad of cash.”“Little bitch. Didn’t take you long. Well no point in waiting to find out when this contractor plans to strike. Go ahead and take her out. She has served her purpose. And make sure its clean. I don’t need the dragon queen coming after me for t
Rejected Billionaire 101: Into the Mountains
~Kerrigan Kerrigan struggled at a cloth clamped around her mouth. She desperately tried to recall her training and slammed an elbow back, but the fumes made her motion sluggish. Whoever held her had an iron grip. She gasped for breath, which was a mistake. The fumes on the rag choked her, nearly making her vomit with its sickly sweet smell. The night around her closed in as she felt her body go limp. Small prick in the side of her neck before unconsciousness claimed her. Kerrigan’s eye’s opened as Abraxas roared in her mind. ‘GET UP, KERRIGAN! FIGHT!’ She found herself being dropped into a trunk, her head smacking the hard metal of the trunk floor. She glared up at the man, but was still to groggy to form words, her head swimming from the impact.
Rejected Billionaire 102: escape
Kerrigan pulled herself to the edge of the bed and rummaged through her jacket to find her phone. She felt her strength ebbing as she pressed the speed dial for Breanna. “Miss? Is something wrong? Why are you calling so late?” “Breanne. Track my cell. Gah. Bring. Bring the emergency kit. I am up the mountain somewhere.” “Miss?! Kerrigan?! Are you ok?” “Hurry.” Kerrigan felt the last of her strength leaving her as she pulled herself onto the bed. She lay out trying to quiet her racing heart. As the shock of the evening hit in full force, she slipped into unconsciousness. Kerrigan awoke to Breanna shaking her awake and sliding onto the bed behind her, cradling her head. “Kerrigan? What the hell did you get yourself into? Stevic, search the grounds, make sure no one else is in the area. Lear, search that man, and figure out who he is. Reilynn, help me with Kerrigan.” A fiery looking young woman dressed in what could only be described as dark stealth armor came over and opened a kit
Rejected Billionaire 103: Uncle Eli
Jinstain – Bayan Province ~ Conor BrantleyAs winter began to thaw in Bayan Province, Conor found new life in working with the kids at the community center. Cara and Peter were an amazing pair as they helped him prepare for the spring Gala with the help of Amber Morrison. Amber organized the kids into teams based on where they lived and set them on scavenger hunts with photographers from Peter’s team. They were each to seek out members of the community and ask them what one activity they would want to have at a community center. Then they had to get a photo with them whereever they currently did that activity.Conor couldn’t help but laugh when he followed Cara and her gang of little girls up to a couple of old men playing a board game in the old park. When the girls fearlessly hoped up on the bench next to the men and asked them what they were playing the transformation on their faces was priceless. At first Cara snapped photos of grumpy
Rejected Billionaire 104: the pledge
When the trio arrived back at Vokrizin, Conor led them to his office. Parker pealed off and stood guard near the elevators. Conor half suspected it was because Kayle was working the reception desk today. Eli poked around the office while Conor sat in his chair behind his desk. “You are welcome to take a seat Colonel. I do appreciate you coming. I hope this means you are at least willing to consider my offer to come back to active duty. Though if you have been out of the country, perhaps you have not been as retired as people may believe.” Conor said, as the idea crossed his mind. He eyes the Dragoon speculatively. “You are sharp. I will grant you that. The nature of my work was less for the temple and more along the lines of my royal appointment in the king’s army. I still review troops and conduct training for th
