Excerpt:
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT was too good to last.
If it weren't insulting to the canine species, I'd call that priestess a bitch out loud. Frequently. And I still may.
My recent work was to start un-doing many of the various organizations I'd been part of that had been making the governments on this planet unstable. Organized crime and terrorism were umbrella terms that covered most of it.
I had no problem being on both sides of that coin when it suited me.
People would approach me, wanting something. Bad or good, it was something they needed - for whatever purpose. If I could help them, especially if they were honestly wanting to help others, I'd do it.

Took her forever to undo the spell and now she just wanted to go back to helping people organize their lives better, make more money, get as famous as they wanted, blah, blah, blah.

The fight was fast, brutal, and I was half-unconscious before I knew it. The other half of me was in a red haze. Where this witch had come from, I didn't know. Her language was old, real old. And her powers were based on gods older than my parents, or at least as old.
John finally found me. I don't know how. All I knew was hearing his voice as I went in and out of a dark blackness...
