“My cousin and half-sister.Yes, it’s messy, but once we met as kids, we were just sisters, as long as her family didn’t find out.”
“What?”
“We shared a biological father, and our mothers were twins.Messy.”
He nodded.Mr.Bander was still unconscious.
Medical staff came and placed him on a gurney, going downstairs to do a workup.They needed to find out what caused the seizure, but they wouldn’t be doing it there.
Dex spoke softly, and they strapped him down.She had just mentioned that his fists had put her in the hospital, and straps and cuffs went on.
Then he was out of her room, and she could breathe again.
Dex leaned back and spoke quietly to the officer for a few minutes with her eyes closed and tears seeping down.When she said that she never knew when he would attack, he would just appear, spin her around, and start punching.
The officer said, “Get some rest.He’s under watch.”
Dex opened her eyes and said, “Do you have any alphas with extras on tonight?”
A blond detective who was talking to Tosh paused and raised his hand.“I am.”
“Do you know what a convincer is?”
“Yes.”
“On the off chance that he didn’t burn out that part of his brain, that is how he was able to get up here.”
Wizard’s voice came from the corner.“Yeah, Thor.Keep on your toes.”
Thor looked at Dex and then at Wizard and then laughed.“Giggles, this is your sister?”
“Sister-cousin.”
“Damn.You two are clones.”
“Nearly.And have both had big thugs trying to kill us.”She smirked.
Dex muttered, “So, you two have met?”
Thor smiled.“Yup.She’s a pain in Jax’s backside.Keeps getting him to hunt down weird vocal artists and bands for the cut scenes.”
Wizard smiled.“Jax is the company lawyer.He focuses on copyright and keeping Penny from featuring in more tentacle porn.Thatthey keep to the house.”
Thor grinned.“Giggles and Penny get along.”
She sighed.“Don’t call me Giggles.”
“But it’s your legal name.We looked it up.”
“I know, but...never mind.”She looked up from her computer.“How’s the baby?”
“Growing enormous and trying to ride the dog around the yard.”
“Good.Hope he has given up on racing Dell’s brood.”
“Probably not.”Thor grinned.“My family are all a little hardheaded.Liella can barely keep up with him.”
Wizard laughed.
