Raven was internally thankful for the security of the limousine's seat belt as the driver raced through the streets to their destination. For his part, Charles seemed rather smug but Raven was starting to get used to it. His mannerisms, while annoying, would serve no other purpose than to...

Raven listened to Charles as she sipped on her coffee that tasted as if it had been brewed yesterday. His perception of the encounter with Merson were completely off of the mark insofar as she was concerned. She was about to file her partner away in her head as an abject idiot in all business...

Raven entered the coffee shop with Charles. It was a quaint, small affair with someone's idea of home plastered over the walls in the form of old-style picture frames with scenes of farmlands, rolling hills and other serene oasis far and away from the chaos of the city. Blue and white striped...

"That is very kind of you, Mr. Merson," Raven said flatly as she accepted the note. She glanced at the address before folding the paper and placing it in her pocket. "Your cooperation will not go unnoticed. Should we require anything further, we'll be in touch." She turned to Charles and...

Throughout the brief meeting, Raven sat back and observed how Charles' interrogation impacted Merson. As she had already anticipated, the president of the company seemed blissfully unaware of the crime. His quick response of intellectual property and company policy is just what she expected...

The taxi ride was blissfully quiet. Raven feared that Charles had intended to continue with his ridiculous prattle as if he were really someone important. None of us are that important, she mused to herself. Buildings and pedestrians whisked by her window as she peered out of the car. At one...

Raven observed Monmorth's approach from across the room, his refined and haute couture appearance made a stark contrast to the environment and the other denizens of the hotel's lobby bar. She glanced away as she hid a smirk of mild disdain as she had no real place for such an exhibition. In...

Raven watched the scene unfold with mild amusement. That the man was a complete, pompous ass with no respect or regard for the council was irrelevant. What struck the captain was the manner in which the council was cowed by Lord Monmorth's abrasive behavior. One thing was certain, though: she...

The second hand on the antiquated electric clock on the wall, powered by whatever steam generated electricity that supplied the rest of the building pressed onward in the ensuing silence. Five seconds, then ten, then fifteen. Raven tore her gaze from the clock and realized that as she had been...

Before Raven could get to the suite, a well-dressed man bound in cuffs and under heavy escort walked purposefully toward them. He easily overbore the unprepared lieutenant and brushed past Raven without so much as a care. As the door was opened, and he paraded into the room, Raven eased her way...

The transport lurched and sighed to a stop outside the nondescript five-story building deep within the heart of the city. Despite the metallic groans and slap-dash appearance of the vehicle, the passers-by paid it no heed while they set about on their own, daily tasks. The day was hot...
