Teaser Tuesday: Starcrossed, Masters of the Veil, & The Immortal Rules
In the corner of the tiny office, one of the sobbing sisters appeared. She was hunkered down on her knees, her face covered by her filthy hair, moaning names and saying "blood for blood" as she hit her forehead repeatedly against the wall.

Gaetani froze in disbelief - his boss had a gun directed at a federal agent - while the woman smiled at the Lieutenant as he stood there armed, red-faced, and quivering. Greenford's hand twitched inside her jacket pocket and the gun dropped to the floor. Her hand twitched again and the Lieutenant fell back into his seat, which gave a loud creak of protest. He struggled in place as if bound by invisible ropes.
