《Love at First Theft》13. Steal the Parters
Advertisement
As we rolled up to the brightly lit police station, we saw some officers come out to bring us inside. We were brought into a room with a desk were he asked Mei to sit and I was brought to the next room and sat down at in a waiting room. As I was waiting for my turn to speak my part I looked at my phone and there was a text from Aaron that said, "Neither of you guys did anything and were victims. That's your story," and I hoped that Mei saw that too when she was in the car.
"Can I call my family to tell them where I am?" I asked a lady that was sitting behind a huge desk. She noodded and I proceed to call Max. I acted as if they weren't there because it just made life easier in case the officers asked if they were there or not.
After the phone call, I waited for about five minutes until Mei entered the waiting room. I was then was escorted into the room with the lone desk. The only other thing in the room was two chairs, one of which was being occupied by a large man that had his hair up in a ponytail.
"Sit, sit," gestured to the other chair. Despite his burly looks, the way he said it made him seem more like a teddy bear. He clicked a recorder and started to speak again. "My name is Officer Faulker and I have a few questions about what happened."
The questions were the obvious "What's your name?", "What happened?" and "Did you notice anything suspicious leading up to the events?" and so on. I answered them like "Winnie McWilliams" (you never use your real name), "That guy attempted to steal the statue," and "I feel like he has split personality or something becasue he changed his demenor frequently," which wasn't wrong becasue he is slightly bipolar, but of course I don't say that I know that for a fact because then they would know that I knew him.

"Ok, you're good to go. You can go home and we'll contact you if we need anything else," the officer showed me out and I saw Mei. When we walked away from the station, we both sighed of relief.
"We should probably ask someone to pick us up," Mei said, and I agreed. She took out her phone and called Max. Within ten minutes, a car came with Blake and Max in it. As soon as we got in, Max started to bombard us with questions.
"Are you okay? What did they ask you? Do they suspect you in anyway?," Blake then promptly cut her off, "Calm down. They're fine. If they weren't, they wouldn't have been able to leave."
I smiled at their bickering and was hoping that he would be a permanent member of the team. "Yeah, we're fine, so don't worry too much,"
"Okay..."
"Okay! Let's go back!" Blake put the pedal to the metal and we shot away from the station.
I noticed that we were entering a trailer park and was confused.
They live in a... trailer?
He stood in the doorway and gave a little "Mi casa es tu casa" speech and I heard a voice, that sounded like Aaron, complaining that they already said the same thing earlier. When we heard Aaron's voice, Mei barged in and gave him a bear hug.
"You, um, live in a trailer."
"Yep," Blake responded.
"Yo," I heard Flynn's voice from inside. Blake and I went inside and it felt smaller on the inside then it did on the outside. There was a light out in one of the buzzing florecent lights, a pretty big safe inside the wall, a row of cabinets and a mini fridge that was a sad excuse for a kitchen, and a couch towards the back of it.

"I expected more," I mumbled under my breath.
"So, now that everyone's here, I have something to say," Flynn announced from the sofa and everyone quieted down. "Because of that little stunt, the security will be very tight. Also..." Flynn crossed to the safe, opened the three padlocks on it and took out a familiar ring. "Is the deal still on?"
Because I was the only one who had seen it up close, Max, Aaron, and Mei were staring at it with wide eyes. We all nodded viciously and Blake eyed Flynn, obviously against it.
"Okay, it's decided then. Here's the ring," Flynn handed us the ring and told us to exchange contact info, so we did. "So, get ready and we'll go for it in about a month. And don't lose the ring becasue we are now officially partners."

A Pirate's Life for Mei
In the future, prisoners are no longer kept in traditional prisons. They're put into comas and permanently dwell within realistic, full-dive virtual worlds. Mei is a journalist and activist falsely convicted of political crimes after accusing an official of sexual harassment. She finds herself in chains aboard a ship in the Caribbean, a prison realm set in 1675, in the age of sail. Oversight is corrupt and the guards are violent. While most prisoners sullenly endure their hardship, Mei knows that this world has a loophole: prisoners can buy their freedom — if they can get the gold. And this also happens to be the golden age of piracy. Yo ho, yo ho. It's a pirate's life for Mei. Book 1 Mei arrives in the Caribbean and battles for her freedom against the devilish English navy, is kidnapped by Caribs, and comes face-to-face with a jaguar. She recruits fellow prisoners in an attempt to steal a boat and flee the prison colony. Book 2 Mei and her crew arrive in Sint Maartin and learn that the French and the Dutch are at war! As Lance, Juan, and Cheeto face their pasts, the crew becomes privateers. Their first prize: a ship full of rum and a week of drunken debauchery in Curacao. This puts them on the trail of Aztec gold buried deep in jungle ruins. An adventure filled with doublecrosses and stealing their first true ship! This is the All Ages version.

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.
