himself to the floor. HeтАЩd stretched out, staring at the ceiling and
pretended she didnтАЩt even exist. Weird bastard.
By the fates, she was exhausted.
SheтАЩd asked these two who they were a number of times, only to get
icy glares from the woman and snorts of derision from the man. Note to
selfтАФwe need handcuffs, or a reasonable facsimile thereof. This is freakinтАЩ
ridiculous. We need some sort of restraining device.
She glanced at the tiny, opaque window in the far corner of the tower,
noting that it had finally gotten dark. This has to be one of those times itтАЩs
just easier to be a killer, she thought grimly.
She let out an involuntary gasp as the shadows in the corner
coalesced into a human figure in a dark coat and what looked to be a
cowboy hat of all things. Inexplicably, his boots made no sound as he
approached.
The hat tilted back and she found herself staring into the queer
emerald eyes of a man who looked not much older than the middle teens,
youthful features revealing the potential for stunning looks caught half-

He took in the scene with an amused expression and shook his head.
тАЬThat canтАЩt be comfortable,тАЭ he said, nodding toward her. тАЬYou can take

The dark haired woman shifted her gaze, her lethal glare bouncing off
the hard shell of his disinterest.
