Shade gathers up a blade and a few shurikens, tucking them inside his leathers. He has no intention of fighting this Senator, but he never enters any situation unarmed. It is time he got into this Senator Ralston ordeal. The sooner this is done with, the better. Then he can get back to normal, whatever the hell that is! Shade let Tomas know he is making his regular rounds at Alec’s house, but did not let anyone else know his true intent, dream-walking into Ralston’s head. The less people know of what he is doing, the better off for him and Alec. He wants to think twice now about what he takes on. He can’t make some of the same impetuous decisions of his youth. His life is not his own any longer, he has a mate, and she deserves as much of his time as he can give her.

Heading out from the Dead House, he teleports along Embassy Row and spots the Ralston home on Kalorama. The houses here are large, well maintained and the Senator’s place is huge. He checks out the house, making sure Ralston is home, and other than his wife, no one else is inside the residence. He wraps himself in shadow and teleports inside the main living area.

As Shade walks through the house, one thing becomes very clear, this bastard is old money and he has a lot of it. He makes his way to the second floor of the house. Every room is decorated in antiques and family heirlooms. He notices a woman sleeping alone in a delicately furnished, very feminine bedroom. She is an older woman, and Shade recognizes the Senator’s wife Helen from the photos Alec had provided. Interesting, it appears she sleeps in a separate room from her husband. That will make things easier.

He walks inside her room and wanders through it, watching her sleep. One thing is evident, the lady is a lush. She has a large antique dresser, and on it, bottles of alcohol. There is a half-filled glass made of imported crystal, a bowl of lemon and lime slices, and an ice bucket filled with melting ice sitting at her bedside. So, his wife is an alcoholic, and her husband is the reformed one. He wonders how the Senator keeps that little secret out of the press. Shade makes a mental note to share this information with Alec.

Leaving her room, Shade walks down the long hall of furnished but unoccupied bedrooms, the rooms that had probably been their children’s bedrooms when they were younger. He slips quietly into a masculine bedroom, the furniture dark and imposing. In the bed lay an older gentleman, looking older and frailer than he looks in his photos. Something about seeing him sleeping makes him look more vulnerable. The Senator lays still, as his loud snoring fills the room. His hair is gray and thinning, and he has a slight paunch to his stomach.

Shade scans the room and, on the wall, hangs several rifles.
