Erik laid in bed watching Sunny sleep. It had been a harrowing 24 plus hours. She had been abducted by the Council...and her own brother. Erik had faced down Sunny's brother and knocked him out. But the Council had escaped and took her brother with them. He was still out there somewhere... and would have to be dealt with eventually.
Two days later a headline caught Erik's attention. "Wealthy couple murdered in apparent robbery" it said. According to the article someone had broken into the home of the Martin family. Mister and Mrs Martin had both been shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. Their only living child, Sidney Martin, was the sole survivor and would inherit their vast fortune.
Erik frowned. Sid must have orchestrated it so he could get the money. He would probably give it to the Council to help bankroll them.
"What a bastard," Erik said as he read the article. "Hey love," he called. "Look at this." He showed Sunny the Paragon Times article.
