    Summary

    People called Stolas many names. Out of anger. Out of hate. Out of indifference. The words stuck like a brand. He felt them, carried them with him. Sometimes, he even asked for them.
    Stella played many games. She had many shiny, bright toys. Sometimes those toys got broken and she discarded them--except him. She had a soft spot for him. Her husband. She didn't like him, but she liked how he made her feel. She was always at the top of the world even if (especially if) she stepped on top of him to be seen.
    And then there were Blitz and Octavia, unwilling participants and witness of the tragedy of a marriage that Stolas and Stella presented on stage like an amateurish play.

    Summary

    “Striker.”
    The drastic drop in the atmosphere is visceral the moment the name is out in the open. Blitz presses his lips in a tight line, his hand moving instinctively to his holster, and his eyes acquire that calculating edge he has on the job when he is serious. When his family is in danger. He doesn’t immediately speak, but when he finds his voice, he talks to Octavia with a false calm that gives her goosebumps.
    “Not a common name there, Via. Where did you hear it?”
    “Research.”
    “No. I need a proper answer, Octavia. Where did you hear that name?”
    Octavia drums her talons on the table, a mannerism she picked from her mother to show irritation or impatience. She rests her cheek on her other hand, and suddenly her smug smirk and her face is all Stolas. “Will you give me answers?” she asks in the same way her father does when he’s being a brat. “An exchange of sorts.”
