It was this activity that was causing Christina's teams the most bother as they were forced to respond thus not being able to concentrate on the deepe...r game plan of the Coalition.In this we were able to help as Arch and Róisín, Thea and myself teamed up to drop the hammer on the Coalition thugs by responding swiftly to any calls for help. We soon had several dead Coalition small fry and a smaller number of captives sent off to Kurukshetra and exile. Yet it did seem that the Coalition still had. " Well, come on in," I said as I shut the door and led her to the great room. "They've never done it before but I don't want to chance Sammy and Sandy making a break for it. Usually they hide whenever someone new comes to the house. I don't even know where." I had the lunch shift and came straight from work, that's why I'm dressed this way. I could have dressed a little nicer if I had taken the time to go home first but as you must know it's the opposite way from the campus." Don't worry about. I believe it was Himeko who spoke first, calling us to the floor, as the apple shaped device sprouted its fiery wings. Elena and I fell to the floor of the balcony as a firestorm engulfed the right half of the theatre. As the guests still able to move rushed out panicking, I collected Elena and quickly exited the box with Himeko leading the way. I pulled Elena over my shoulders, gripping an arm and leg in an impromptu buddy-carry with which we exited the building. ‘Himeko, take care of Elena,’. At that moment, that's how I felt."You need to get some things straight" his deep voice rolled over me, andI tried to collapse into myself. "You are not a man anymore. You are notanything anymore. You are mine. You are my slave. I am your Master, youwill address me as such. You no longer have a name. If you are good I maygive you a name, but for now you will respond to whatever I call you. Youwill do as your Master says. If you do not, I will punish you. If you maketoo much trouble, I will kill.
