Magic Mourns
"Kate is a great kick-ass heroine, a tough girl with a heart, and her adventures... are definitely worth checking out." - Locus
I sat in a small drab office, one of many in the Atlanta Chapter of the Order of Merciful Aid, and pretended to be Kate Daniels. Kate's phone didn't ring very often, so I didn't have to pretend very hard.
Unfortunately when it did ring, like right now, the person on the other end was rarely interested in a facsimile. They wanted the real thing.
"Order of Merciful Aid, Andrea speaking."
A female voice on the other end murmured hesitantly. "You're not Kate."
"No, I'm not. She's on medical leave. But I'm filling in for her."
"I'll just wait until she comes back."
I said goodbye to the disconnect signal, hung up, and petted my P226s Sig Sauers laying on Kate's desk. At least my guns still liked me.
