Tahlia was stuck on that train for a half an hour before it finally rolled to a stop. When the doors opened only one person stepped inside. She was tall, a sort of regal presence to her natural beauty. Wild, bushy hair kept pulled back by a headband, and dark eyes and flawless dark skin clad in a le...

Bright light flooded into Corrine’s eyes as they fluttered open. The detective winced, slowly letting her vision adjust. The events of that night flooded back into her memory. She fully expected to feel the inevitable pain that would follow, but nothing came. The cocktail of drugs they had her on we...

The heat was the first thing Corrine noticed. Something was burning. The only sound she could hear was a steady, incessant ringing in her ears. Slowly, feeling came back and her body ached. Her head pounded. Something heavy lay atop her. When she tried to open her eyes, it was a blur. A red blur. He...

Paige stepped out of the passenger door of Sam Piper’s car, body armor strapped to her torso. The Ingersol Textile plant looked as non-descript as a dozen other factories in the industrial sector of the city, but at its heart was something far darker than most could imagine. Falk had shuffled his va...

Corrine Paige leaned against her car, parked outside the casino. It had felt like a lifetime since she'd picked Tahlia up from that train station. She'd never figured she'd see the woman again after that night, but once again Toews had drawn them back into each other's lives. It certainly wasn't her...

Hours passed, public records were scoured, and several slices of pepperoni were devoured. For Paige, fatigue was setting in, but Jordan was a machine. The girl was an endless fount of energy, every new bit of information gleaned like fuel, sustaining her for another hour. Paige paced around the room...

Money was getting tighter as time went on. After the agency shut down, there wasn't much work to be found for a former cop with one arm. Paige was just lucky she knew how to save and live relatively frugally. Most of her days were spent looking at the help wanted ads, but nothing her disability woul...

Paige tried the number once again. For days, she tried to get ahold of Simon, but the man was a ghost. A long talk with Coleman left her ill at-ease with how they'd parted. Words had been said that stuck in her head. He didn't deserve them, least of all from her. In her heart, she knew the kind of m...

Corrine Alissa Paige Born: January 5, 1982 5'9" Tall, slim, beautiful. Her hair worn in a bloom of braids atop her head. The daughter of a long line steel-mill owners, she had her life's path set for her. But she had other plans. Top of her class throughout the academy and work ethic that put h...

“What the Hell happened?” Corrine was livid. The one armed woman paced back and forth as Simon sat like a little kid getting chastised by a parent. One moment, she was finishing up some work at the agency and the next she was getting word that not only had Simon been fired, he’d actually attacked Te...

“What the hell were you thinking?” Corrine Paige was livid. The one-armed detective paced around the room, running her hand through her dark curls in frustration. Simon sat before her upon a couch, looking a tired and more than a little bored. Mary Bradley’s rented penthouse was richly appointed wit...

Monsters aren’t real. It’s told to children to assure them they are safe. Secure. It is told to assure them that nothing bad can possibly happen to them. It’s a lie. The first lie children are told. Monsters are real. They don’t hide in closets or under beds. No. They hide under the skin. Behind pl...

Simon stood backstage, leaning up against the hallway wall, waiting for her to finish whatever saccharine, phoney interview Tessa was doing now. The girl certainly knew how to play her audience. Those people just ate it right up. If she had been around 12 years ago, he was sure he’d have been subjec...

It was a warm night in Summer when Simon’s life changed forever. Mulcahy sent him out on a few errands in preparation for the weekend’s festivities. The church was putting on a festival, bringing the community together for a night of food, games and fun. A festival Simon Toews would never see. He k...

Simon stood in the elevator, steeling himself for the day ahead of him. The kid didn’t cheap out on accommodations, that was for sure. The penthouse had to cost an arm and a leg, he thought. It was the kind of place Tahlia would have just salivated over, richly appointed, high class, the ultimate in...
