Nothing really new other than the fact that I have a busy weekend ahead of me! If you are a fan of the BBC series, Merlin, I just wrote my first FFN for it; it will be a short story (5 chapters max) so it will not get in the way (too much) of writing Poaching. The chapters for that story are relatively short. Anyway, I thought I would share the word in case you are interested in reading it.

Also, for those of you who were worried, Kat and Elyes are still very much together. :) There's proof so if you want to know where to find that proof / what it is, PM me, and I will tell you! :) (I'd rather not share it publically on FFN because of damn tabloids, and you just never know these days).

Prologue

~ SCORPION ~

He was exhausted and just didn't care to help the government anymore. It's been years since they recruited him, and even though his company was no longer functioning anymore, time to time, the government requested his expertise. Sometimes, his children would go in his stead if he didn't feel up to making the trip; they were all brilliant – not as brilliant as him, but with their combined IQs, they were more than exceptional.

Most of the time, these days, all he wanted to do was rest. It was hard for a man with his IQ to simply sit and close off his mind to the world, but he somehow managed to do it every once in a while. It didn't always work, but when it did, he was at ease. Most men his age were retired and living in nursery homes, but he managed just fine on his own. Occasionally, his kids and their families would stop by and check on him, but for the most part, he lived a very lonely life. But he didn't mind. He preferred the quiet garage these days. Though the years of Scorpion were over, he couldn't find it within himself to sell the garage; there were so many memories there – memories he wasn't ready to let go of.

If he wasn't busy helping the government or working on some simple tasks for clients, he was in his loft, sitting in his favorite chair and flipping the pages of the photo album his wife had put together so many years ago. She had given it to him as a wedding present, and she continued adding to it as the years went by. Other than his children and grandchildren and his memories, the photo album was one of the very few things he had to remember her by.

And it didn't matter how many times he had seen the pictures in the album; he needed the physical reminder that she was real... so... when he was alone, he would pick up the photo album, and he would gaze at the photos, page by page, to remind himself of the life he once had but could never return to.

The chapters in this story will be short. I don't know how frequent they will be uploaded, but each chapter will serve as a description of a captured moment in time.

Let me know if you think I should continue.
