The blood from the bodies pooled at their feet and his brother laughed! Book stepped out of the circle of corpses. He did not fear the police – he owned the police now. “Do you want this, brother?” Book asked. Amadi looked confused, following as Book walked down the street, toward the space port. “Do I want what?” “This,” Book waved his hand in the direction of the bodies, then toward the tall building that was their center of opera
Still...brilliant bit of prologuing here, valeriebean;)
