provided a certain relief, for he knew how to handle this. You figured out whom to pressure, which levers to pull. You called in favors, dangled others. Feeling his old mastery returning, he found the number he needed and dialed. "Fred, Paul Rubin. A drink later?" Paul had told the Daily News editor to meet him at the Four Seasons. He wanted a setting that conveyed gravitas, and twenty-dollar martinis al­ ways helped. "I think I know why I'm here," Fred said with a smile as they took…

puppy's legs are, and how neither of them is really showing his teeth (the corners of their mouths are relaxed, not pulled back). They will probably start bite-wrestling in a moment, accompanied by furious-sounding but innocent growling, and stop after a few minutes to companionably drink some water! 10 Chapter 2 - Calming Signals Dogs were meant to live in packs. Packs have very rigid social structures and each member of the pack communicates to all the other members through…

traders couldn‟t have dreamed, despite being masters and true enthusiasts of story-telling. The story‟s details sent a chill over Artyom‟s skin, and he became uncomfortable even sitting next to the fire. Any rustlings from the tunnel, even the most innocent, were now exciting his imagination. „So, there you have it. They hadn‟t heard any gunfire so they decided that the scouts had simply left them - maybe they were dissatisfied with something, and had decided to run. So, to hell…

hastily constructed screen on the sidewalk in front of the burnt-out shell that had once been Eddy’s. Camael counted sixteen so far. The girl’s had yet to be recovered. There was a ferocity to the Powers’ latest attacks, a complete lack of concern for innocent lives, a certain desperation to their actions. He thought of Samchia’s murder in Hong Kong. There had always been killing, it was what the Powers did—it was their reason for existence. But of late…Why this sudden escalation of…
