Purple Moon

Half Moon 6

    Kat sits in the carriage next to Cade hating the bumpy ride almost as much as her wardrobe for the undercover work. It was made up of all dresses or skirt, and all of the tops had a corset-like design. Cade wasn't much better he was stuck with wearing tailcoats, vests, dress pants, and formal shirts. The only exception was the work clothes packed deep into a trunk.

    Kat sighs, Cade looks at her and asks, "Another headache?"

    Kat shakes her head. All through the week of preparation, she had been having head-splitting migraines, but they seemed to have calmed down now that they were moving.

    "That's good if the only brain being used in this team were unusable we would have to go back to the City," Cade replies with his usual attitude.

    Kat scowls at him but doesn't get to reply because the carriage stops. The door opens, and Cade steps out before helping Kat. The town around them looks like an average country outpost with houses and shops bunched close together as if trying to protect its inhabitants from the dangers of the wilderness.

    "It is as I told you, sister, perfect for what is ailing you," Cade says, getting right into character.

    "I told you that I was fine you didn't have to come out here with me."

    "Nonsense. Mother would be furious if I didn't take care of you."

    Kat smiles a bit sarcastically, "All ways the prince even after there is no one to pat you for your good deeds."

    Cade puts a hand to his chest in mock offense, "That hurt."

    "It was supposed to," Kat replies and starts unloading bags.

    Just like they rehearsed Cade orders her to go into the house. After a premade argument, Kat begrudgingly agrees. Once inside, she starts putting things away and scoping out the building. It wasn't very big, but there were plenty of nooks and crannies to hide weapons in. She starts working on the parlor when Cade comes in with another man.

    "I thought I told you to stop working," Cade scolds her.

    She snorts, "I am a woman I can't entertain guests without the house in order. But clearly, you expect me to do so."

    The other man laughs a deep, hearty sound, "Do not worry. I only came to help unpack you do not need to prepare anything for me. I am Heath, by the way, Heath Walker."

    "Pleasure to meet you, I am Katrina Maddox. I see you have already met my brother Claudius," Kat says with a bow.

    Heath helps with the unpacking and putting everything where Kat assigns them to go. Cade takes the trunk of weapons up to his room before their guest can touch it, and when they are done, Kat invites him to stay for dinner. He politely declines, claiming his wife would be mad if she weren't there for the first dinner with their neighbors.

    Once he is gone, Cade puts weapons in various places around the house. All are easily accessible, but some were more visible than others. The most visible being Kat's twin swords hanging above the fireplace in the parlor.

    With the various things in place, the two hunters retreat to their rooms for the night.
