Caiyan and I stared each other down as we waited for the other members of our team to arrive. Travelers were sorted in teams, and ours included Brodie and Ace; Gerald and his transporter, Tina; Campy after he completes his training; and formerly me and Caiyan, currently replaced by Marco.

Each team was based on the brigands they were assigned. Now, thanks to Caiyan, Toches became a new brigand added to the mix in our already filled bowl. Ace rolled in a few minutes later, followed by Brodie. They both gave Caiyan a knuckle bump, showing their support for his presence. Ace grabbed a coffee from the credenza. Brodie sat down across from Gerald, wearing a big shit-eating grin.

“What are you so happy about?” Gerald asked.

“That’s the smile of a guy who is getting shagged,” Ace piped in, taking the seat next to Brodie.

“Must be nice.” Gerald looked at Caiyan and me. “I guess the two of you are taking a break. How about it, sweet muffin? Ever shagged a little person?”

I groaned and stood to get a cup of coffee. The travel lag was starting to affect me, and I would be napping soon if I didn’t infuse my veins with caffeine.

Gerald let out a sharp wolf whistle. “You know what they say: big things come in small packages.”

Caiyan grabbed the dwarf by the shirt collar and tossed him across the room. He took out two rolling chairs and bumped up against a filing cabinet.

Marco entered as Gerald was flying across the room. “Cool! Midget tossing—can I play?”

Relief overcame me as I rushed forward and threw my arms around his neck, hugging tightly. “You’re here?”

“You didn’t think that little weasel was going to take me, did you?” Marco asked, grinning and sending an admiring glance down the neckline of my red dress.

“What happened?” I asked, taking a few steps back.

“I’ll say this: kicking someone’s ass while traveling through time is freaking awesome!”

“Where is Toecheese?”

“When we landed, he was unconscious.” Marco cracked his knuckles.

“So ye jest left him with the key?” Caiyan asked, flipping his hand in the air in disbelief. “Why didnae ye bring him here?”

“My main concern was my transporter, Jennifer,” Marco said with an annoyed glance at Caiyan, and then his eyes gently found mine. “I had to make sure you arrived safely.”

Marco walked over and offered Gerald a hand, which the dwarf took, and Marco lifted him to his feet.

Although Gerald was a nasty little prick, I couldn’t help but be concerned. “Are you hurt, Gerald?”

The dwarf stood, brushing himself off, “Only my pride and my ass. But you could kiss it and make it all better.”

I ignored the comment and finished making my coffee. Marco sat down next to Brodie. I grabbed the plate of doughnuts from the credenza and placed them on the table in front of Marco, who immediately grabbed one covered in sprinkles. I took a seat next to Marco. Caiyan growled, and Gerald made a face at him.

Jake returned and scouted the room, making note of everyone present.
