Well, tonight is
the rescheduled premiere date for The
Last Ship. I fully respect TNT's decision to postpone the airing and I'm
very much looking forward to watching the start of season three.
Wynonna Earp's lead-in to the finale blew my mind. I'm not
sure if the show will have a second season, but I'm so hoping it does. That
said, I don't trust Syfy the way I used to. At least I know Killjoys and Dark Matter will be showing up soon.
Orphan Black. Wow. Seriously, just wow. While I'm
incredibly sad next season will be the last, I'm also kind of excited because I
know it'll far surpass anything I expect or can anticipate. As for the finale,
once again, Rachel proved she's the biggest bitch on the planet. I'm rather
looking forward to a major toppling of her reign of terror. I can always keep
my fingers crossed that what she thinks she wants and deserves ends up being
her total undoing, right?
Still working my
way through the first seasons of Babylon
5 and Strike Back. Someday, when
I have copious amounts of spare time, I want to get back into recapping and
sharing my joy for my favorite shows. There's something fun and rewarding about
interacting with other fans.
Tonight's post is
from The Baracas File, a novella started from the prompt of one character is a
cop and the other a reporter investigating the death of his brother / her
partner. Since I love sibling stories, I couldn't resist this one.
Here's the
mini-blurb:
Briggs Felderzon, an investigative reporter, will stop at
nothing to discover what's in the Baracas File, the contents of which results
in his brother's death. Myrrh Gold, his brother's partner in the Inter-Stellar
Police, decides to help him… but Briggs isn't sure he trusts her.
And a sneaky peek…
Zell Felderzon pulled up outside
Myrrh Gold's building. "You sure you've got a secure location for the
file?" He nodded toward the thick folder tucked inside his partner's satchel.
Myrrh smiled. "Growing up
with a safe-busting family means I've got better than average safeguards
installed." She flipped the cover over her bag and reached for the door.
Zell grabbed her shoulder.
"Seriously, we're walking targets while the file is in our possession. We
don't know how far up this goes and if it's more than the inter-stellar police
involved." The tension in his grip tightened.
Myrrh placed her hand over his.
"I know, Zell. I'll be careful." She held his gaze. "We'll do
this together and bring everyone involved down." Popping the release, she
eased the door open and exited, walking up to her building and keying in the
entry code.
Zell didn't pull away until the
big glass panels shut behind her. Myrrh shook her head, but appreciated his
concern. Making her way to her apartment, she inserted her keycard and waited
for the entry to slide open. She immediately scanned the room, her gaze
lingering on the dark corners. Once satisfied she had nothing to fear, she
crossed over to the decorative tapestry hanging on the wall and unlocked the
access to the hidden safe by pressing on a series of points on the artwork. The
wall moved outward and her safe slid forward. After a retina scan and biometric
verification, the keypad appeared and she punched in the seven digit code to
open the door.
Retrieving the file from her
satchel, she secured the contents in the small space and locked everything
down. She heaved a sigh and rolled her shoulders. Zell had her all nervous and
twitchy. No one knew they had the file. They'd taken great pains to make
certain.
Didn't stop her gut from
churning, though.
She and Zell were stepping way
beyond their jurisdiction and pay grade by digging into the Baracas file. Myrrh
headed for her bedroom sanctuary and stripped down to the skin before crawling
between cool sheets. Finding a comfortable spot, she closed her eyes and
ignored the sense of trepidation seeping into her bones.
Three hours later, her phone rang
and she fumbled to answer. She didn't get a greeting out before the bad news
hit her ears.
Her partner had been found dead
in his vehicle—sitting three blocks from her residence.
I'm loving the way
this one is coming together. Need to find the time to really sit and finish
writing the whole thing.
That's it for this
week. Catch everyone on the flipside.
