Speaking of the chapters, click below if you want to see the teaser BUT OF COURSE BE WARNED: could contain minor spoilers for this update. (As in, if you aren't through Fade 22 I don't recommend clicking it because it might spoil some things about Fade. If you ARE through Fade 22 it's just a teaser for this update and won't ruin anything for you)
"Yeah. For now, at least." There was a healthy pause as Sin looked around them. He reached out to wrap his long fingers around Boyd's arm and pulled him forward. Sin's voice dropped to a low pitch. "You disappeared as soon as shit got strange."
Boyd's breath drew in and stilled, from Sin's touch even more than his words. "What happened?"
Sin dropped his hand almost as if it was an afterthought, his thumb sliding against Boyd's wrist. "Someone's been following me. Watching me."

====Emilio!==== Also, in case you somehow missed it, Sonny's started writing a Young Emilio back series called 180 Proof Vega. Chronicles of the life of Emilio Vega starting from age 17 when he was first vetted to join The Agency. SPOILER NOTE: To be read after Afterimage if you do not want to be spoilered about certain facts pertaining to Sin and Emilio's pasts.
You can read it at the forum-- check under Other Stories in the ICoS Universe or go straight to 180 Proof Vega. And while I'm at it...
"Where the fuck is Jorge and Brian?" The regular dudes. The dudes he paid a chunk of his earnings to in order to ensure that this spot stayed problem free.
"Not here," Mr. Reflective Sunglasses said smartly.
"No shit."
"Should we just kill these guys?" Moisés asked in Spanish, giving Emilio a hopeful look.
The look that Emilio aimed at him made the older man drop his gaze. Moisés was a good guy-- loyal, strong, and had no problems with the bloody aspect of the job. But he was a prime example of a fucking retard.
ABOUT 180 PROOF VEGA: I have nothing to do with it so if you would like to lather praise on anyone it should all go to Sonny (cancelsonny). I'm just advertising it here for anyone who may have missed notes elsewhere. :)
====Dorkiness!==== Man, I need to make myself an ICoS icon again.... an ICoN?
