Waning Moon

Three years ago, he ran rampant in Africa, undeniably the King of Soldier Kings. Three years later, he returned to the city, carless, houseless, and constantly in trouble.

Mamie Powell stared at Basil Jaak laying on the ground, a bit dazed.


Earlier, Basil's punch had clearly been faster than her own. He could have retreated completely after hitting her stomach, but Basil didn't. His punch had stopped suddenly upon touching her belly. In the ensuing pause, she had landed her punches on his ribs.

Mamie had disguised herself as a nurse and visited Basil's hospital room to assassinate him while he was under anesthesia. She would have succeeded, had it not been for the baby in her womb kicking. The kicking had caused Mamie to retch, dropping the scalpel and missing the golden opportunity for the kill.


Mamie glanced at Basil Jaak, unconscious on the ground. The killing intent in her eyes wasn't as intense now. She wanted to murder Basil, but she didn't know how to face their unborn child afterward.
