O’Toole House Chapter 15

Amelia looked completely worn out when they got back to headquarters a little while later. “Just tell me what he said,” she told Gabriella and Bradley as they shrugged off their coats. Gabriella played the tape for her, wincing again at each new detail Nick Bana provided. Amelia’s face was set in anger and exhaustion […]

Gabriella’s ability to remain nicer than Bradley was tested about half an hour later when his phone rang again as he was washing their latest mountain of dirty coffee mugs.  “If it’s work related, can you get that?” “How would I possibly know if it was work related?” Bradley sighed irritably, but he was still […]

The next morning, Bradley’s phone rang as they were wrapping up the discussion of Mama’s Kitchen, where the salt around the necklace had apparently resolved the problem. He answered in that curt, almost polite way he’d started after James got on him for his phone manners months earlier. But he immediately scowled. “No, that’s not […]

Gabriella was working with Elliot again the next day and she really wanted some time to just talk to him. If they were going to be friends, then they needed to actually be friends. And being on comms with him and Bradley was not going to help with that. Did she still have lingering feelings […]

Another extended family dinner and Gabriella was far too conscious of James’s absence. They were at Gran’s house again and this time the event was Celia’s promotion at work. But while that was exciting and worth celebrating, it was also very clearly an excuse to get the family together. Not that Gabriella minded, but it […]

Even though Gabriella had been going nonstop since she got to work, it was surprisingly satisfying to get those exercise machines out of the medbay. She and Bradley hauled them up the bulkhead stairs and put them out by the trashcans. “The Foundation is going to need to pay for a dumpster for these,” Gabriella […]

BRADLEY Your fucking ghost king is here Gabriella blinked awake to the sound of her phone chirping with an incoming message. She rubbed her eyes, looked at the message again, and then rubbed her eyes again to make it make sense. Ah. Right. Poor Elliot was apparently on shift with Bradley. And it was almost […]

O’Toole House Chapter 8

Gabriella and Bradley were back at the O’Toole House. And just because it was the middle of the night did not mean that Gabriella was more freaked out by this place than she otherwise would be. She had to keep telling herself it was just an ordinary night case. But just like before, Bradley was […]

O’Toole House Chapter 7

The next morning, Gabriella and Bradley were on their way back over to the O’Toole House. She drove this time, taking the back roads to avoid construction while Bradley went through some of the readings they’d gotten. “They’re a mess,” he said for the fourth or fifth time since she’d arrived that morning. “None of […]

O’Toole House Chapter 6

Gabriella had received an apologetic text from Amelia last night, saying that she needed her to take on some of Bradley’s paperwork when she got to work this morning. Yesterday he’d been pulled away to deal with yet another meeting that ended up lasting for nearly two hours, then had to chase down that case […]
