Tethered Pair

Wars are fought on many fronts. A battle is raging across New Colorado Protectorate with both human and demonic players. Todd and Nick Ruger are sentries with an arsenal of talents and training to combat threats from a variety of enemies. Todd and Nick are given a mission to find and stop weapons smugglers by going undercover on the riverboat, Annabelle. These aren't typical arms dealers, they're demons and they're not afraid of a pair of sentries. The Rugers will have to use all their skills and their most powerful weapon, the bond between them, just to stay alive. Stopping the supply of illegal weapons turns to trying, and failing, to thwart an assassination. Todd and Nick have each other, but will they be able to keep their love intact?

Heidi smiled. “I can take care of Snow. I’ll leave the business of the weapons to you.” She turned and started toward the door, then stopped, turned back, and gave them that stern look one gave a misbehaving toddler again. “Are you two coming? We can’t get Snow until we get off this boat.”

“I’m not armed. No weapons in the gambling hall, remember? And I’d like to get to the trunks down here, see what’s inside, and get any illegal weapons on board secured.” What Todd really wanted was something to ease the cacophony of pain searing through his rib cage.

“Good point. I’ll arrange for us to get to shore.” Heidi shook her finger at them. “Don’t take all day. I’ll be waiting at your stateroom in an hour.”

Todd would have happily slugged Nick for the smirk and laugh thinly disguised behind a cough when Todd mumbled, “Yes, ma’am.” Except that would have hurt too much.
