Charlayne is in front of me, holding a rifle identical to the one in my hand, raised to shoulder height and pointed at Kiernan, who’s sitting on the bed. He looks more bored than afraid.
Connor follows Dad’s lead and steps forward to take Kiernan’s hand. I’m Connor Dunne. And you can call me Mr. Dunne. There’s a slight twinkle in Connor’s eye, so I think he’s joking. But whether he me...
Do you still have the tux you wore as Boudini? It’s in the loft at the cabin. Why? You’ll need it in order to pose as a server. Unless you’d rather be a male companion? No thanks. An evil little part...
Each kid got a small allowance for helping with the harvests, and Kiernan would always head straight to the tobacco shop. Not for cigarettes. At first, he even threw the cigarettes away, but later he'...
He pushes his chair back and goes to the kitchen. Are you hungry? Yes. I’m thinking Kentucky Fried Rooster. There’s another chorus of cock-a-doodle-doo just as I finish speaking, and he laughs. Henry’...
Kiernan hoists one of the bags and slips the strap over my shoulder. I grab the other one, and soon I’m loaded like a pack mule, lugging two bulky military duffels in addition to my backpack.Trey lean...
He shrugged. Yeah, but me dad said th’ only way to learn is t’ ask questions. An’ it’s hard to do that with buttoned-up lips. Anyway, I c’n tell that one you’re followin’ is a bad bloke. He has those...
I always dreamed ’bout ridin’ the big wheel, Mick added, looking down at his shoes with a plaintive expression. But me mom needs all the money I c’n make. He glanced around at the others and then back...
I don’t know anything for certain. You and I could both explode in the next two seconds. Or the swimming pool over there could have a clone of the Loch Ness monster swimmin’ about on the bottom, ready...
I fake an annoyed look at his interruption. As I was saying, your ego doesn’t need to be inflated. But as I say the words, I realize that I don’t think they’re true. Every now and then I catch him wat...
I nearly miss it, given Tate’s need for speed, but as we zip by the guy in the alley, I catch a brief glimpse of his face. It’s Kiernan. How did he get out before we did when he was behind us? A few s...
I pull my T-shirt over my face and am about to plunge in when it occurs to me that I’m approaching this, as Kiernan would say, far too linearly.
I toss the formal dress from 1905 onto the chair next to him. He glances up, removing the headphones. Did you decide to do a bit of shopping in London? I give him a wry smile. Does this look like some...
I’m not following any of this, you know. Beecher who? Henry Ward Beecher. Another slug from the bottle. He’s a preacher. Hey, that rhymes. Well, that answers any questions about whether the alcohol is...
I’m not sure why he’s flustered until I realize there are now five of us and the table is set for four. Pru waves her hand dismissively. Don’t bother. The dark-haired one is just my bodyguard. He can...
Kiernan and baseball—it’s like waving a carrot in front of a mule. Put tickets to a ballgame in front of Kiernan’s face and he’ll follow you pretty much wherever you want to go. After that first game...
A few seconds later, I heard Katherine’s voice from below. Kate, you have a gentleman caller. I rolled my eyes. How is it that a grandmother from the twenty-fourth century sounds like she’s from a Cha...
Kiernan gives him a suspicious look. You performed at the Expo? Yes, Bess answers. Along with his brother, Dash. They headlined as The Brothers Houdini on the Midway Plaisance. Really? Kiernan shakes...
