A slew of curse words, some English, some Spanish, echoed in the car garage against the rock playing on one of Haurvatat's radio stations. The car, a 1970's Chevy Impala convertible, was hoisted off the ground just enough so someone could fit underneath it. A pair of black-leather clad pants stuck out from the car, moving only when the body of ( Read more... )

Mia was doing better getting out and about. It had been a couple of months, now, since she had lost everyone but Letty and she was as put back together as she was going to be. She was focusing on life again and on doing things ( Read more... )

Letty was outside of Ten Forward leaning on the brick wall waiting for Mia. She was clad in leather pants and a leather coat to protect her against the coolness of the night. Fall was almost here, it seemed, and the village was making it known. California was always nice like that - it didn't have much of any season other than hot ( Read more... )

Derek was just glad to be back home after such a long case. Things had been way too close this time. Reid had been shot, as well as Derek himself. Reid had gotten it worse and he was just glad they all made it home. He was tired and gathered it was still the remnants of painkillers he was given. Happy when the plane landed and he stepped off saying ( Read more... )

A slew of Spanish profanity rang out and then a crash of metal to concrete was heard before the garage door was rolled up quickly and Letty walked into the light of the sun. She pushed back her wisps of her hair that were trying to escape the ponytail and then wiped the grease from her hands onto her shirt ( Read more... )

So, Derek hadn't gone through with it the first time. For no other reason than he had spent that time comforting his girlfriend. She had needed that more than him manipulating the situation for himself. They had curled up together that night, letting her hold tight so he wouldn't vanish. And he did not mind that ( Read more... )

With so many people coming and going Derek was a little torn. He worried about getting too settled here and having either him or Mia just vanish. On the other hand, he knew he needed to just take what he was given here. Reid was gone, but Garcia was here. Then he had Mia, and man had he fallen for that girl fast. Village played a part in that and ( Read more... )

Mia wasn't sure how the hell she had managed to acquire so much stuff since she had been in the Village. It wasn't until she started packing boxes that she even realized that she had more stuff that what it looked like. She shook her head as she rubbed her eyes. Granted, most of the stuff was books and engine parts she was tinkering with, but ( Read more... )

He woke up that morning and stretched checking the calendar. It was that moment he realized time had flown by so fast and it was now his birthday. He wasn't expecting anything today seeing as his family wasn't here. He couldn't even remember if he told Mia. It just didn't seem important enough now to call and tell her. He decided to take a walk ( Read more... )

Mia really wasn't thrilled with how the Village was looking this weekend. She was even less thrilled with the creatures that were attacking everyone. Truth be told, these things were worse than the last attack had been. Some of these creatures could only have been called up from people's nightmares. (And when she found out who in the Village ( Read more... )
