Part one is here.  Part 2 is here.  Part 3 is here  The contents page is here.  I’m not going to try and summarise it for you go back and read them. I’m going to return to the extract of the witness statement of Doctor [REDACTED].   “The morning of the third day at sea …

Code 5 Alert Incoming – Part 3

Part one is here.  Part two is here. The Cestus Dei report contains a transcript of an interview with one of the refugees.  A Doctor hoping to eventually make it to the UK with his family.  I’m including some excerpts but  I won’t reproduce his whole statement here. I think you’ll agree he is a …

And the killer is…

Contents page. On the way back to the Landrover I briefed the man in black and called Detective Jayne and told her where to meet us. Chris missed it because he was trying to persuade the Runt to let him play with her ears. By the time he caught up with us the guns were …

A Visit She Wont Much Like

Index here. I don’t like being lied to. No-one does. Lying to the Department is another thing entirely. We object to it in the strongest terms. When the Department objects to things we don’t keep it to ourselves. Everybody gets a slice. Mycroft hacked into a satellite feed to check the camp was still there …

The Art of Swearing

The first page of this story. In the Department we pride ourselves on being able to swear properly. And by properly I mean with accuracy, verve, volume, passion and variety.

Witness Statement from an Immortal

The first page of the story. “The last time I saw her was right here.” She said. “The human realm here or the Fae realm?” I said. “It was in the human realm. I wanted to talk to her and I did not want to attract any attention to the conversation. Though it seems that …

Summoned

So that was one mystery solved. We knew what the Dingo was doing there. The poppet had called her to the building. It didn’t explain what she was doing on the top floor though. She had been, as I said, something of a lard-arse. Possibly someone had a sense of humour had wanted her up …

The Poppet Maker, part 3

Page one. Contents page. "I wasn't trying to kill her." Said the girl. "I already said that I don't think you did." I said. "I was trying to fluence her." She said "Do you mean influence her or do you actually know what a fluence is?" I said. "I thought it was just a witchy …

The Poppet Maker, part 2

The first page. The contents page. Witchcraft runs in families, usually, so I wondered if the the girl's late mother had been a practitioner. Of course there are male witches (they're called witches and not any other word you might be thinking of) but her dad just didn't have that look. I can't tell you …
