"I have some good news and some bad news," Laura explained to the rest of her team after hanging up the phone. After their conversation with Sharon, the band of renegades had decided to start making their way back west. Because they were aware they had been spotted at the airport upon landing in South Carolina, they determined it would be best to rent a car. After much negotiation, they agreed to head to Arizona. While it would make the most sense to hang out in Peru until Giovani reappeared, since that is where he was last seen, they knew LIGHTS had far reaching fingers and likely had their eyes all over the region since they were also searching for the same suspect. They had been successful at laying low near Tucson, and they knew Cadence was also in the area, so they decided to head that way.

Cadence hadn't slept well. That was nothing unusual. She hadn't slept well for quite some time, particularly since the night she had pointed a loaded gun at her ex-boyfriend and pulled the trigger. Even though Jack's death had been an accident, it still haunted her.She had been told eventually she wouldn't have to sleep as much as a human. Eight months into her Transformation, she was not there yet. She had been lagging all day from a lack of rest. For once in her life, she wished she were actually a coffee drinker.

Cale caught up to her outside beneath an expansive oak tree. He hesitated to say anything, unsure whether or not she was still working. After a moment, he finally whispered, "So, what do you think?"Cadence smiled. "I think it's fine. I mean, I think it's doable." She was nodding, her hands on her hips. Glancing down momentarily, she realized she had collected some cobwebs on her black capris, and she absently swiped at them as she returned her attention to the doctor.

Cadence nodded and watched her teammates mount their bikes before turning back to the silent Adonis next to her. He seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes locked on the building before them. Once the roaring engines were far enough away, she turned back to him. "Do you think we should go somewhere else, in case they return? Or do you want to stay here and observe?"Her voice broke his train of thought. "Oh, uh, we've observed them coming in before. And, oddly enough they do drive a Hummer." Cadence didn't think it was odd at all that she had picked up on that. She had noticed some clues to ind
The Clandestine Saga Why is He Here?
Despite the fact that she had consumed no alcohol the night before, Cadence awoke feeling as if she had been hit by a Mac truck. The restless nights were starting to add up. By the time she'd made it back to her hotel, met with Aurora and Meagan and went over the new plan, and unwound a little bit, the sun was creeping over the horizon. Even after nearly ten hours of attempting to get even a couple of uninterrupted, consecutive hours of slumber, she finally hauled herself to the shower, hoping the hot water would somehow make her feel as human as a non-human could feel.She spent much of the r
The Clandestine Saga Stop Interfering
"How's it going, Cale?" Aaron asked as the doctor got within a few feet. He offered his hand, which Cale accepted, the questioning expression still on his face. "I just happened to be in the area, and I heard that you had a pretty significant hunt going on tonight, so I decided to stop by to observe."Cale nodded and then finally spoke. "All right," he said. "I wish I would have known you were going to be around. I feel like you should know the plan."

"They have machine guns?" she asked in disbelief. She had never seen a Vampire use heavy artillery before. In fact, most of them didn't even use guns at all."Apparently," Cale replied."Shit!"

They neared the driver's side window and the Vampire in the back opened fire. It was not a machine gun this time, at least, just a hand gun. Nevertheless, Cadence ducked back inside, fear of getting shot temporarily quelling her bravado.Aaron slowed down a little bit, partially to give her time to regroup and partially because they were approaching another car. He glanced over at her and could tell she was ready to try again, so he cleared the uninvolved minivan and accelerated.
The Clandestine Saga Crash
Just before they reached the trees, Aaron shifted the car into neutral, turned the wheel the other direction, and Cadence instinctively slammed her foot down on the brake. The car spun the opposite way before Aaron corrected it. It came to rest just inches from the trunks of the trees.She didn't realize he had his right arm braced against her until they had completely stopped. Clearly, he had been trying to protect her from the airbag. They locked eyes, and she finally let the breath out she'd been holding for the entire skid.
