Streets of Hope

Ah, so he was talking about the whole kerfuffle that was set to go down in the morning. It made Abe glad he was going on ahead to London the quiet way, ways that one man could take unnoticed where a group could not. "Run from the older ones, makes sense." He looked at the glass, willed it ...

As soon as he realized what was going on, Preston shut his eyes tight and muttered a litany of things under his breath; he had no grief with liches, he didn't ask to be caught up with one, he just wanted himself and his bird to get out of this alive. Whatever Buck had planned was his business! And w...

Mary cocked an eyebrow at Three's antics, looking for a second like she couldn't decide whether to back him up or join this demonic suitor in testing him. "I'd have to double check, but there might be something in the handbooks about demonic hazing." Then she grinned. "If all else fai...
