The Blonde

A Note to the Reader:

This is a sequel to The Blonde, which you will find conveniently included in the front of this paperback. You should definitely read that first.

If you purchased this book and thought you’d knock out the story in the back first, let me give it to you straight: Turn back now. Seriously. There s a lot of weird stuff (The Mary Kates, CI-6, The Operator) you need to catch up on in the full-length novel before you tackle this one. And there s even a spoiler in the first line.

So turn back now. Thank you for your cooperation.

(This story is for Temll Lankford. He 11 know why.)
