Shane's eyebrows rose. Twenty four hours of rest a week? He'd probably lived on something close to that in the weeks after 9/11, but he wasn't functioning all that well at the end, and it had been months before his exhausted body made up the sleep deficit. Right now, he wasn't that tired, but he was definitely in need of ( Read more... ) -

She could sense Calvin's amusement from behind her, and then felt the unmistakable touch as he used Presence. It seemed like both of them were going to make their marks in here this evening.

"Full body prosthesis."
The very flat tone Murphy used to say those words were a stark contrast to the horror Shane felt as he realized just what the man was saying.
He found himself staring and tore his eyes away, cursing himself mentally for his rudeness. But still, the awful comprehension of what Murphy had said shook him to ( Read more... ) -

In spite of that, he nodded at the words, continuing the sentence.
"Yeah, it even smells the same, but it's not my New York either. I'd ( Read more... ) -
I love the nightlife . . .

Paloma Castillo y Ramírez relaxed on the soft leather of the chaise lounge in the Taipan Suite of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, sipping a crisp white wine as she looked out at the lights of Manhattan.

It was times like these Shane sometimes wished he smoked, as he leaned against the fender of his dark blue Ford Crown Victoria. He missed the Dodge Charger he'd driven as a beat cop, but outside patrol, the muscle cars were the jealously guarded prizes of senior detectives.

A rooftop in NYC ...
OK, so now it was raining. So what? Raphael blinked a couple of times, eyes finally settling around half-closed as the water spattered on his snout and scalp and dripped onto his mask. It was only rain, like the dark clouds steadily pushing it their way were only weather. Y’ got that here in New York, and even if no-one was keen on analysing the ( Read more... ) -

Hmm … now this was interesting. The Doctor quite forgot to keep an eye on the subjective time as he watched the Dalek device at work.
