Excerpt from Redemption

By the time we made it to the building, Sinta, Vesper, and Speed Freak were already there. Our target was hovering in the air, admiring the building’s dome. Bloodmoon and I landed quietly several yards away from the girls as Sinta called up to her.

The woman pulled her attention from the building and looked down. “Hello, kitten,” she said. “Who are your friends?”

“This is Vesper,” Sinta said, “and Speed Freak.”

The other-worlder descended, landing in front of Vesper. She reached out and gently touched one of Vesper’s small, bat-like wings. “Little Wing,” she said.

“Um… Fair ‘nough,” said Vesper.

Then she looked to Speed Freak, with a frown. “Drugs are bad.”

The speedster blinked. “That’s not…” She left her sentence unfinished as the other-Dyna turned her back.
