If Kevin was right, Hall’s eyes actually twinkled as she smiled. "This seed, Headly, is a collection of native prairie grasses and perennials that have been modified for survival in the conditions that currently exist across the West. If this works, we’re going to help the Dust become a prairie again."
She glanced between the dumbstruck faces. "You wanted a revolution, officers. This is what a real revolution looks like. Reclaiming what is good, from the grass roots up. Literally."

THE GAMES WE’VE PLAYED
Aces High, Jokers Wild Book 8
O. E. Tearmann

America is acting up.

The heads of seven corporations who think they own the country have officially crossed the line. In a desperate bid to keep control of the former United States, they’ve just shut off the water to every major population center across the nation.
With the clock ticking on millions of people, the Wildcards and their allies race to save lives. They’ve got a whole country to mobilize, organize and feed. They’ve got infiltrators passing intel to the Corps and security contractors banging down the doors. But you know what else they’ve got?
They’ve got each other. And they’ve got a chance.

Life’s a bitch. She rigs the game every step of the way.

With a good team and a little luck,
you can come up the winner anyway.

“Tweak?” Inyoni sounded freaked as hell. “Tweak. Dragon. Talk to me. What the f**k? What’d they mean?” He sounded an inch from panic. She felt the same. All the pieces fell into place like a truck full of bricks spilling down on her.
Tweak gulped down a breath, shoulders bending under the weight of putting it all together.
“They m-m-mean…” She had to lean in and breathe in the scent of her daughter before she could whisper the words.
“They mean you’re the s-s-sleepw-w…w…”
She couldn’t get the word out.
“Sleepwalker,” Inyoni whimpered. “They mean I’m the Sleepwalker. Oh…f**k.”

“There’s a prayer I know. It’s right for a night like this. Will you pray with me?”
Teddy blinked, looking up. “Wait…you pray? I thought all you Dusters were…” He tailed off.
“Godless?” Kevin suggested. “Atheist?” He shook his head. “There are a lot more kinds of Dusters than an EagleCorp man might realize. And I suppose there are a lot more kinds of people doing Peacekeeping work than a Duster like me might be expected to assume. Am I right?”
After a moment, Teddy nodded.
“I’m a Jesuit,” Kevin explained. “That’s a kind of Christian. And I feel like this is a night to say a prayer. So, will you pray with me tonight?”
Teddy held his eyes for a moment, and there was a new spark there.
“Yeah. If you know the prayer…yeah.”

“Citizen protection detail, sir. We’re here to take you to a place of safety,” Yvonne stated in her best flat professional voice. “Threats have been made against your wellbeing.”
The man’s sunken eyes widened. Welcome to being scared for your life, as***le, Yvonne thought as she watched him. You liked it when it was you standing over some poor schlub you got to shoot and throw in the dog food machine with no consequences. Not so much fun in the other direction, is it?

Leaning in, he held out his hand. “Whatever you’re scared of. Whatever’s going on. We’ll work it out. Okay?”
The boy hesitated. The scalpel shivered in his hand.
Aidan gave him a smile. “I didn’t get your name.”
The boy was breathing a little slower now. The scalpel had stopped going all over the place, at least.
“Matt," the little guy managed. “I’m Matt.”

Start thinking, that was Hall’s order. She didn’t have to tell him. He couldn’t have stopped the thoughts if he’d wanted to. He only wished they weren’t going in circles around those words.
They’re looking for you. In particular. They’re looking for you.

Half an hour later, he kissed his husband in front of an idling water truck. “See you soon,” Kevin murmured.
“See you soon,” Aidan repeated, resisting the first thing that wanted to come out: fingers crossed.
The heavy water tanker rumbled away into the dust. Aidan watched until it was out of sight.
