Men Will Be Men.

Unfortunately, the women are in no position to stop nature's course.

** AMAZON Top 100 Best Selling Author **

Tyler has figured out an additional way to make money off Brownstone.

But Brownstone has to agree, first.

Brownstone gets a request from his hacker support after doing a job for the Professor.

It seems she might have upset someone close to home.

Will Tyler piss off Brownstone and end the bar’s neutrality, or has the Professor found someone with enough magic to take Brownstone out and asked for a favor?

Either way, James is walking into the job with his eyes open.

In the end, bounty hunting is a job, and Brownstone was working it before he met Shay or Alison.

Sometimes you can't change who a man is supposed to be.

Knowing the exact limits of your defenses means you can kick ass in a more tactically-sound way.” Brownstone, on his way to Shay’s had picked up the amulet. Finding out that the amulet was of alien origin rather than magical had done a lot to soothe his concerns. But he needed to protect his women any way he could, so he called Heather, the hacker.
- “I’m concerned about video of her. Most of it is security-cam shit, but there’s some other video that seems a little more directed. I want you to find out who is filming it, and then we can talk about if I need it taken down.” Is disconnecting the phone number he is using. She will call him.

Victoria deals in magic, and deflects or absorbs all of their efforts. Johns keeps yelling at her to kill them, disrespects her, and she quits, on the spot. Trey and shorty take Johns down, Victoria walks away, warning them, “It’s a dangerous world we live in, especially with all this magic floating around.” Trey is attracted to her, and wishes he had asked her for her digits.

Calls Heather, who hooks him up, via internet, to every gadget in his house, so Brownstone can see and talk to him, without being inside.

 Different guns. Will have to stock up on healing potions.  “Think of it as an investment in the future!” “Beat you with different weapons. Stab you.” Shay whipped out her knife and sliced the air a few times. “Try and fry you different ways. Sonic attacks. There’s a lot of shit we could do.” She grinned. Maybe a harpoon?  We need to be systematic about this, including testing shit we think you might already be immune to, like most rifles, pistols, and shotguns.” Her smile widened. “Might want to work on small-dose toxins and shit, too.” James put his foot down on that one.
-‘’’LAENA'S PLANS’’’   Laene receives report of death of the Three. Magical signatures in area are strange, indicating that Brownstone has a special trinket to help him. For them to be defeated proves that Brownstone and his allies are worthy of respect. Continuing to throw more Drow at him on Earth will result in unnecessary sacrifices.” Will be quiet for a while. Will allow things to calm down, upsets to diminish. Will think in longer terms. Will not track the Princess any longer (until she shows up normally, then take her), will allow the Light elves to settle down again, will not cause attention of the Fixer to be directed their way. Believes that Humans do not know about the wish, so don’t have to worry about it being used.

 The amulet whispering to him, wants to test itself. Heather reports to him that electricity killed in house, so won’t be able to help him much. If Brownstone thinks he’ll need help, will kill secondary jammers in house, so she can get in electronically better. James loaded up. With plenty of spare mags, multiple throwing knives, and a few more grenades than usual, James was ready to kick some ass. He was still wearing one of his now-standard-issue Shay-disapproved shabby gray coats. It was nice to have a few extra pockets filled with gear when you were about to blow something up or kill a man or twenty.
 James approached the gate, a simple latch, threw it, and was blown up. James stood and dusted himself off. The pants, coat, and shirt were a loss, but he didn’t even need a healing potion; not so bad for getting blown up. Then going up the path, the  ground gave way and James fell into sharpened metal spikes. He grunted at the sting. The trap produced a few new minor scrapes, but no severe injury unless he counted the new hole in his left boot. He was almost to the house when he heard the click. A moment later, he spotted the dark spheres hurling through the air over him. James leapt to the side as the spheres exploded with a hiss, releasing a cloud of greenish liquid. Acid. He ached and bled, and his clothes were shredded, and he wasn’t even at the house yet.

 /12   In Las Vegas, the Team goes after the last bounty of this shift. A Level two con artist. They had done well. Upping their game to multiple twos and threes in rapid succession had helped the money flow in, and the fact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was shoving bounties at them only helped. Even with splitting the bounty, giving James his cut, and paying for expenses, the Las Vegas trip had been damned profitable. Way more profitable than their best days on the street as gang members. Trey though that maybe he’d get lucky and run into Victoria again, before he left.
 Maria Hall stood over Brownstone, telling him to wake up. “You’re breathing and you don’t seem to be hurt, even if your clothes are torn up. Magical shit, I’m assuming.” AET and regular officers covered the area, most surrounding the charred crater where Schwartz’s house had been. Men in radiation suits stood in the crater, waving Geiger counters and other instruments around. “That’s new. Start talking. The only reason I’m not completely pissed off is that you didn’t do this shit anywhere near town.” Hall wants to take Brownstone in for questioning (  his clothes, no body), but the videos Heather had taken  proved he was telling the truth, so all he had to do was paperwork. There was a Level Four bounty, from Paris, dead or alive , on Schwartz, so brownstone made even more money on it. Sgt. Mack wants a better BBQ pit!
