In fact, there were several nights where he and Zero simply had to sit in the shadows waiting for their mark to make his move. It was kind of funny that once upon a time he had complained about the stake out nights being boring, when all he wanted now was blessed silence.

NaNo '11 Ka - Introduction
My name is Ka Esatia-Elros. I'm twenty seven years old, married to Jordan Elros and mom to Alegria Elros. I only really hyphenated my name because of my job, sort of as a way to placate my bosses.

After a couple of quiet moments she heard a faint rustle on the other side of the door and stumbled backward just enough to see a pair of eyes watching her through the window. Immediately she recognized the eyes and sneered. She would have done more were it not for the fact that she'd been restrained as soon as she'd been brought to the Council's facility.

Ten Tales of AU Ka and Jordan
01. Tears
Jordan had always been told that men don't cry. It wasn't even that boys didn't cry, there was never a point when he was allowed to be a boy. From the moment he met his father, though the title was used loosely and could be easily exchanged for "sperm donor", he was admonished for not acting like a man. So no matter what the others said to him, no matter how many times they insulted his mother, the only person who had ever shown him any love, and no matter how often they smacked him around just for the fun of it, Jordan wouldn't let himself cry.
But sometimes when he was in his room late at night while his family was busy tendi
