1 " Our herd may roam, but we all know where is home. "

2 " We climbed to the sixth floor, and I waited in the hallway outside number sixty-six with a couple bodyguards while the others checked the apartment and lit the lanterns. When "

3 " Are you the assassin who wants Uncle Valek’s job?”

“Eventually, yes.” Onora considered the young girl. “Are you thinking of challenging me for it?”

“Oh, no. I’m not skilled enough,” Reema demurred.

But Onora was too smart to fall for it. “Uh-huh. From what I’ve been hearing, you could put the sass into assassin. "

4 " Valek wondered aloud if their bedroom exertions endangered the baby.

“No. Medic Mommy said we can have relations—those are her words, by the way, not mine—up until the last couple of weeks. However, I’ll be huge by then and probably resemble a turnip with legs. I doubt that you’d even want to have relations.”

He cupped her cheek. “You are more beautiful to me today than yesterday. Each day, when I think I can’t possibly love you any more than I already do, you prove me wrong. So I’m very confident that even if you turn into a turnip with legs, I will love and desire you.”

She turned and kissed him on the palm. “I love you, too.”

He nuzzled her neck, then nibbled on her ear. “Besides, turnips are my favorite vegetable.”

“Am I supposed to melt in your arms after that comment?”

He pretended to be confused. “Turnips don’t melt.” Which earned him a hard smack on his arm. “Ow.” He rubbed his bicep.

“Any other comments?”

“You’re even beautiful when you’re annoyed.”

“Nice save.”

“The truth is easy, love.” He pulled her closer and breathed in her scent. Contentment filled him as he drifted to sleep. "

5 " No problem. I know you’ll want to take a closer look. It’s irresistible, like candy and babies.”

“I know I’m going to regret asking this, but you find candy and babies irresistible?” Ari asked.

“Hell no. They’re both sticky.”

His partner waited.

“Some people find them irresistible. And, you know...” Janco waved his hand. “They’re easy to steal...or something like that.”

“I was right.”

“About what?”

“I regret asking that question. "

6 " Do you think Teegan will listen to his mother if she says no?”

“Some kids actually listen to their mothers.”

“Really?” Janco blinked at Ari. “What a concept.”

“Your poor mother. She should get a medal for not killing you.”

“Oh, she tried. Many times. That’s how I learned the fine art of duck and cover. "

7 " We’ll visit, of course. Someone has to teach the kid how to get away with stuff that you won’t let him or her do.”

I glanced at Valek. “Remind me to never leave Janco alone with our child.”

“Hey!”

We all ignored him.

“And we’ll drop everything and come if you need us,” Ari said.

“Unless you need us to change diapers. Then forget it. "

8 " Can you be an assassin without killing anyone?"
Onora shot her an odd look. "I ... don't know. I don't think so."
"Is there a name for people who have those skills?" Mara asked.
"Yes. Dangerous," I said.
Mara rubbed her hands together as a gleam lit her eyes.
"Oh, I like that. I want to be dangerous. "

9 " Please tell me you really didn’t think I’d set up such an obvious trap for you.”

“You took a contract to kill Yelena. That makes me question the level of your intelligence.”

“Fair enough. "

10 " Any estimate on a timeline for the eviction, sir?” Adrik asked.

“I suspect things will get hot around the fire festival.”

“And if they don’t?”

“That means we failed, and they won.”

“You didn’t train us to fail, sir,” Pasha said. “And if we can’t fail, neither can you. "

11 " While you’re checking the library, I’ll search Bain’s office. He might have had the same idea as us, and since he’s the First Magician, the library might have allowed him to borrow Master Magician Ellis Moon’s notes.”

“That’s a good idea.”

“Don’t sound so surprised, love. I might start to think you’re only interested in me for my body.”

“Did you say something? I was too busy staring at your muscular chest.”

“Nice. "
