Fiction by Sydney Katt
Raptor walked through the doors and surveyed the inside of the club. Blaine Ranier had done a good job promoting his club and it was quickly becoming a hot spot in the town. He regretted, briefly, the fact he had turned down the opportunity to invest at the beginning.
“Hindsight is twenty-twenty,” [Read more...]
They were calling to me. Everybody was waiting on me. Couldn’t start the retirement party for my dad until I got there with the cake.
But why was it foggy? I could hear them calling to me, I just couldn’t get to wherever they were. I couldn’t even see where I was going and stumbled over something. I fought to regain my balance before I dropped the cake. [Read more...]
Raptor looked at the woman next to him in his bed to make sure she was asleep. Hearing some inane question of whether he was asleep when he obviously was not would be enough to drive him to murder again that night. He slipped out of the room and went to the kitchen before he could contemplate choking the life out of his slumbering bedmate.
Although the woman sharing his bed was annoying enough that no jury alive would convict him, he couldn’t allow his thoughts to linger on [Read more...]
The time at the florist was unbelievably boring for Parker. After an hour and a half of waiting on a stool in between displays of roses and carnations, he was beginning to think he should meet up with her once she was done here. This was about flowers for a gala that didn’t matter to her, not the cure for cancer. At least she didn’t have him babysitting her purse as women liked to do while shopping.
He cracked his first smile since parking next to her car in the flower shop’s parking lot. Skylar probably thought he’d snatch her wallet if she let go of her death grip on it. [Read more...]
When the door opened, a pair of untrusting blue eyes greeted Jackson.
“Can I help you?”
“Are you Skylar Montgomery?”
“I am. What can I do for you?”
He flashed his badge. “I’m Special Agent Caldwell. Can I come in for a moment? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.” [Read more...]
I left Yvette’s just after one o’clock that afternoon. I was grateful the committee meeting wasn’t until six-thirty. My mind was racing and I knew I would need every millisecond of the time to pull myself back together. It figured that the first time I chose to try and get my social life back that Eric would be somehow involved.
Pulling one over on Michael was hard enough, but no one on the planet knew me the way Eric did. [Read more...]
Monday, April 5
Love is a fickle bitch. That’s right. I said it. Someone had to.
It’s not that I have anything against love, per se. I just…It’s complicated. Suffice it to say that she and I have met and parted ways. A few times. Each time, she sucker punched me then kicked me while I was down. [Read more...]
I didn’t realize until I already exited 190 and was a few miles away on another highway that Jenna was the frantic woman waving her arms from the stalled van I passed. It would take too long to exit and get back to them and I knew I could already be too late. I glanced in my mirrors to make sure no one else was on the road before I slammed on my brakes and U-turned. Traffic was nonexistent on my drive up until this point. I prayed my luck would hold long enough to get me back to Jenna. [Read more...]
“Sara, what’s wrong?”
If her life were a Michael Bay film, this was the point where the camera would swing around her and Paul in a slow, full circle. Just like the phone call in Bad Boys II that let Will Smith and Martin Lawrence know that things just got real, Sara could feel the decided shift. It was a moment where it felt like nothing would ever be alright again. [Read more...]
All the highways in Grand Prairie, Arlington, Irving, and Dallas were shut down, but the Addison tollroad was ignored. Of course, Chad was long gone before they thought to do anything. He could anticipate everything now before it happened. [Read more...]
Everything was as good as Sara could ever hope for it to be. This was the best time to make things right with Michael. Now or never, right? He was adamant about his feelings for her and the fact that he wanted to spend forever with her. It might be one thing if she didn’t feel the same about him, but she did. [Read more...]
Sara didn’t know what to say. On some level, she knew this could happen, that it probably would happen, but she didn’t think beyond that. Those blue eyes held so much pain and anger and she didn’t have a clue what she could say to make it better.
But nothing she could say would make it better because [Read more...]
“Are you going to answer me or look at me like I’m insane?”
“Look at you like you’re insane.” [Read more...]
She didn’t know what to think anymore. Michael didn’t abandon her in the way she thought. Did that make things any better? Sara couldn’t decide. In the end, he did abandon her, just not the way she thought. And he cheated on her, erm…with her.

“We find them.” Paul was already changing out of his bowling shoes. “There’s nothing else we can do right now.”
Sara followed his lead and switched shoes. “They could be anywhere right now.”
And Sucre could be doing anything to Nika. [Read more...]
