Asking Why
Back in her apartment, Cadence oscillated between rage and uncontrollable crying. Christian had tried to contact her several times on the IAC, but she ignored him. He was the last person she wanted to talk to. Well, second to last.
As the time that she was supposed to go on her date with Aaron came and went, the tears became even more overwhelming, and she wished she had gone home. At least if she were at her parent’s house the traditional Christmas Eve routine would do something to distract her. In the solace of her own quiet apartment, she had nothing to occupy her mind.

"You don't think..." Cadence asked, just a few seconds before she had confirmed for Elliott that Aaron must be with Eliza."Yes, I do," Elliott nodded, asking the bartender to refill his drink.Though the thought had crossed her mind when Elliott had first said Aaron wasn't answering the IAC, she had said it out of snarkiness more than anything else. Now that he confirmed her initial reactio
The Clandestine Saga Hunt to Take the Edge Off
Cadence landed silently, but she was sure he would know she was there. If nothing else, the change in room temperature from the now open window would be enough to give her away. He didn't move. He must not have realized she knew where he was.Her Glock was in her side holster. She quietly drew it out and cocked it. She wouldn't use it unless she had to, but some Vampires were unpredictable. There was also the small possibility that he was armed. She quietly began to cross the dirty concrete floor that led to his hiding place. She was within 20 yards of him and could hear his heavy breathing. J
The Clandestine Saga Together Again
By the time Eliza awoke, the hunt was over. Aaron had his IAC fully up and operational and was sitting on her couch, answering messages and monitoring the newsfeed. As much as he wanted to go home, he knew he couldn't do that. So, he sat and waited for her to make her way into the living room, not sure where they would go from there."Hey," she said yawning. She was wearing only a T-shirt which hit at the top of her thighs, her hair still disheveled, clearly still groggy. "Working away as usual?" she asked with a coy smile.
The Clandestine Saga Recorded
When Giovani and Zabrina had run out of new places to hit along the Caribbean coast and the Mexican shoreline, they had returned to Cabo San Lucas, Jack in tow. They had long since given up on counting the number of victims. No one could touch them--the authorities thought they were chasing some sort of terrorist group. Every night, they took multiple victims, no longer caring about the possibility of being detected by either witnesses or recording devices. In fact, they were getting a little sloppy, and Jack was the only reasonable voice amongst them. He continued to caution that they needed to wrap it up and get back to the states so he could see Cadence, but by mid-January, Giovani was on such a high, Jack wasn't sure he was ever going to come back down.
The Clandestine Saga Run it Off
On the treadmills at the gym, Cadence often let her frustration out by pounding the hell out of the track. She could now easily maintain 40 miles per hour for about two hours. There were times, however, when she wished she could just go outside and run, even though it would have to be slower so as not to draw attention to herself, because often Eliza would end up working out at the same time, and even looking at her ex-friend made her sick to her stomach."God, look at her over there," Aurora said, stomping it out next to Cad
The Clandestine Saga Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
“Thank you for choosing American Airlines. How may I help you?” the short brunette behind the counter asked as Jack approached the front of the line. She wasn't particularly pretty, but she had a friendly smile, despite the fact that working at the lost baggage center had to be anything but pleasant. Her name tag read "Grace," and Jack was drawing on every bit of that quality he had left to contain the rage he felt at having to report to this particular area of the airport to begin with."Hello, my bag was lost on a
The Clandestine Saga Uncle Sam
Grace Faircloth had digital information on both of the passengers she found to be suspicious. She had sent it all over to her Uncle Sam earlier, but it wasn't until she was making her drive home to Arlington that she received a phone call from him confirming that he had received it. Due to the hectic Dallas-area traffic, she decided to play it safe and take the call over her wireless Bluetooth connection. "Hi, Uncle Sam! How are you?""Hey, darlin'" came the reply. "I'm a little concerned, sweetheart. I think you did the right thing in letting me know about these two shady characters. Unfortun
The Clandestine Saga Make a Scene
Cadence was done running in the team workout facility. After yesterday's encounter with Aaron and the merciless gleeful expression always plastered on her ex-friend's face as she trotted along on the elliptical, she decided to take her run outside. Even if it meant working on endurance instead of speed, she was not willing to run into the same problem two days in a row.And yet, as she rounded a corner nearly 15 miles from headquarters, she found herself running exactly into said problem. "Son of a bitch," she muttered, bringing her sprint to a halt in front of where Aaron sat on a brick wall
