Ahh, the weekend! I almost missed the signup this week. I had 11 minutes left. Take a few minutes, and check out all the amazing authors posting their snippets. The links are on the WeWriWa blog, and you won’t be disappointed.
My snippet. This is a first draft, of The Wildblood Book 3, so please keep that in mind. Problems cropping up for my characters, when they thought “things” were all taken care of. They were not.

The radio signaled an incoming transmission, from The Vista.
“I’ve got it,” Shan called dibs. It was an unscheduled call, and she went straight to a headset, only mildly concerned.
Chris nodded and grinned, swiping a cup off the desk and indicating he was heading for the kitchen.
“Wait,” she said, feeling a twinge of . . . something, her genetically enhanced senses moving into overdrive. “Vista Dispatch, this is Cody Base, go ahead.” Nodding to herself a couple of times, Chris watched as her face froze into the unreadable mask she got when the business was serious. He put the cup down as she started writing on a pad of paper. The high-tech stuff they had, in Cody.
It read ‘Get Mick’.

Yeah, being downright nasty to them, again. It’s not all doom & gloom. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.
In the meantime, there are 3 books in The Wildblood series available on my website.
Hmm, when Shan gets that look on her face things are inclined to get messy. Very glad you made it, Sheila 😎

Interesting world you’ve built in the Vista. 🙂

You picked the right POV character for this scene. Seeing the seriousness of the call on her face is more ominous than hearing whatever was said.
