I also stole a small yellow doughnut from the box of Duncan's doughnuts in the rec room and fed it to the attack poodle in my office. He made a great production of it. First, he growled at the doughnut, just to show it who was boss. Then he nudged it with his nose. Then he licked it, until finally he snagged it into his mouth and chomped it with great pleasure, dropping crumbs all over the carpet.
Ilona AndrewsJust to make sure the odd humanoid aberration doesn't get away, always pin it through the nuts.
Ilona AndrewsI was so happy to be out of there. โBarabas, if you werenโt batting for the other team, Iโd marry you.โ He grinned. โIf I werenโt batting for the other team, I would accept your proposal. You had me at โNo comment.โ If all my clients were this smart, my life would be much easier. Much, much easier.
Ilona AndrewsI shouldโve been furious, but for some reason I wasnโt. Maybe because I knew he was telling the truth. Maybe because Voron left me just like that, without the much-needed explanations. Maybe because things I had learned about him since his death had made me doubt everything heโd ever said to me. Whatever the case, I felt only a hollow, crushing sadness. How touching. I understood my adoptive fatherโs killer. Maybe after this was over, Hughโs head and I could sing โKumbayaโ together by the fire.
Ilona AndrewsI want to punish them. I want that punishment to be so hard, so vicious that the next who takes their place wets himself at the mere thought of trying to fight me.
