Kacey Red Princess: A Dark Tale of Love, Deception and the Shadows of Eglin City Blackshaft - 01-04 Good Business p2 (Adults Only. Copyright@Rama. 2013) Eglin City. Night. Screwed up. There was no other words for it. Things were screwed up, Kacey thought to herself as she banked the sleek motorbike around a corner and straightened up. The countryside was becoming concrete as she entered the city. She’d never seen Alison like this before. Carl’s death had hit her hard. Hit them both hard. Really hard. He’d been more than a butler, he was a father figure. It was a heart attack. Not anyone’s fault. No-one to blame. Was that the reason Alison couldn’t handle it? A heart attack? Maybe that was it. Maybe Alison just needed someone to blame. Kacey had sometimes wondered why they did what they did. Why had Alison spent so many years doing this, why bring herself in? Maybe it was time to move on and get a life. Get ride of the leather and the capes and... grow up? She swept around a car and heard the horn blow at her. Was that what was wrong with Alison, she wondered. Was she thinking the same thing? Carl’s death was a sign that bad things just happen. Sometimes there was no-one to put the blame on. And here there was no-one to blame. No freakish villain or street mugger to put the blame on. It was just life. And in life, shit happens. You just have to deal with it. …and then things took a turn
