Nyx was enjoying eating the bloody flesh from her latest kill’s bicep, the blood running down her chin and coating her fingers.“Nyx, dear, I am glad you are feeling more like yourself but please try to not make such a mess,” David chided. He had long since come to terms with her more savage nature when on a hunt. Fae were not human by any stretch of the imagination and to deny their wild predatory nature was a good way to get yourself killed as their next prey.Nyx just grinned with bloody red lips and gore coated teeth. David shook his head. He would have to be sure he found her a toothbrush, and perhaps a water pick, and likely a gallon of mouthwash after this.David turned back to Damos before his own stomach betrayed him. “Now, unless you want to be her next meal, you will hear my proposition.”“Fine, yes… just don’t leave me to THAT thing!” Damos cried, his eyes locked on the gore filled corner

“As you requested last night, all of the laborers have been housed and medical attention arranged. Once we get things moving for Harbinger group, at least half have expressed interest in work. I suspect the other half will join once Harbinger makes a name for itself.”“Good. Keep a list. Nepotism will not be allowed, but they will be given first chance at an interview. If they have skills, find the right placement for them. Next,” David said, as a waiter brought him a plate of eggs, grits, and bacon.“The mayor has authorized a name change from the Timothy building to the Perth Center.” Meyers continued.“Good enough. We can change it later if something better comes up. It is at the center of town anyway. We can build a new Harbinger headquarters in the new district to attract more business there anyway.” David said and he glanced at the guard who had been sitting stiffly next to them.“Ah, this is gua

“Have the patients sign a waiver if you must. Their medical care is already paid in full. You will see results within 24 hours with this formulation but they both need it sooner than later. Honestly, it should have been given several days ago, so every moment is a delay they should not suffer.” David insisted.The doctor looked conflicted so David simply said, “You can follow this order or I can see to it a new doctor is brought in who will. Harbinger group will assume all risk and expenses. You surely know those two are under VIP treatment already at order of the Harbinger group’s highest management.”The doctor looked at the list one more time and nodded to the pharmacist. “Go ahead and remake the pills. I will get the Dean and chief medical officer to sign off in the meantime.”Satisfied that they would carry out his request, David returned to check on Hailey and Kat. When he arrived, a young man and an older woman we

When he landed in Perth, David called Meyers but there was no answer. He called Sarah then and asked if she had learned anything.“I think so.” She started when the was a scuffle and Hensley’s voice came over the phone.“David, its Hensley. So, it seems there was a huge change in the last few days. I guess you weren’t around. Anyway, my father has been in meetings for hours with Thomas Gray. It seems that the Vice Lords were taken out, and some people from the provincial capital came to town. They are from the regional division of the Grayscale gang, which the gray dragons have to pay homage to.”“And?” David prodded.“And, Thomas Gray is not happy they came to town without asking him. These newcomers are giving him no face and just doing their own thing. They saw a new project being built and no tribute being collected. They took issue with that.” Hensley said helplessly.David suppressed

David cupped the back of Nathaniel’s neck and pulled him close so their foreheads met, “Brother, it's going to get worse before it gets better. These men did not stay their blades before the innocent. They kill indiscriminately. This cancer needs to be cut out of society. Are you with me, to see a brighter future for the people?”“We work in the dark to serve the light. To protect the people, against all enemies, be it fae or foe, from within and without, faithfully we defend .” Nathaniel intoned. He let out a long sigh before looking David in the eye with a fierce grin, “I guess this is the within part. Never quite figured the domestic enemies would be worse than those on the battlefield.”With a heavy sigh, he said, “I am with you sir, to the bloody end.”“Good man. Now, get that soon to be corpse to somewhere Nyx and I can pump him for information later. Ah, and Nyx requests a holding pen… thi
