《DEAD IN BED By Bailey Simms: The Complete First Book》PART 4, SECTION 22

I turned back to Ian.
"You said Jason and Shawn and those guys have lunch at the house, right?"
"Yeah." Ian shook his head, annoyed that my mom was being so hospitable. "Your mom's keeping them well fed while they're on patrol."
"And Jason's the only one you know of who has a pharmacy access card?"
"Well, yeah." Ian looked at me warily. "Why?"
"Because I think I could get it from him."
He was surprised at my suggestion. "Ashley, I couldn't even get it from him. He has his whole squad to back him up."
"But what if he didn't? What if I got him alone? He's been coming on to me non-stop since the fair. And I'm pretty sure I could get him drunk, or high on those pills of his. If I could talk to him alone for even just a minute at the house, I could set something up with him to meet somewhere. I'm sure I could get him to agree if he thought I wanted to sleep with him. It's worth a try, right?"
"No way." Ian shook his head emphatically. "That's way too dangerous. You alone with that psycho? Come on. Ashley, no way."
"What other way is there?" I asked. "You said yourself you can't get the pharmacy access card from him, right?"
Ian didn't respond, but he gave me a look of frustrated helplessness.
"Well then?" I said, trying to keep my voice low so Bryce and Chris wouldn't hear me. "What's the other option? You don't have enough antibiotics to keep Morgan stable. What's your plan? Just do nothing? Just let her progress to stage three?"
"Ashley, come on."
"Give me a better plan." I stepped in front him, forcing him to stop and listen to me. "Give me a better plan, and I won't do this," I said. "Otherwise I'm getting Jason alone tomorrow, and making him think I want to sleep with him. I can get his access card. I know I can. I can do this."

Ian didn't say anything. He waved goodbye to Chris and walked me and Bryce back to my parent's house along the river. He didn't agree one way or another to my plan. But as we made our way through the growing darkness, I could tell he knew I was right.
There wasn't any other way.

Trials of a Magic Core
He was brave, and noble, and true. He was also a hunk of crystal floating in a magical circle, brought into existence by the self-styled "Greatest Magus of All Time" to be his personal intelligent magical encyclopedia, filled with every minutiae of the arcane this Magus could stuff into it, all ready and accessible at a moment's notice. But is simply knowing all there is to life? Can he strive for more? Should he? (Writer's Note:) I'm a pretty new writer, so expect delays, errors, inconsistent logic, plot holes the size of a small 4-wheeled vehicle, and a distinct lack of snark. At least from the MC. Also, yes, the cover is an image I made in paint. I have...NO artistic skills. It is a placeholder. Also, I came up with this idea in the shower after a nine-hour RRL binge. SO BEAR WITH ME.

RE:Hero
Many lifetimes ago, Roy had been offered a choice after his passing: to make a deal with a Goddess where he would help her save countless worlds from certain doom in exchange for immortality.

Each reincarnation left him a little more broken, and eventually, he found himself sent to worlds where there was no great evil to fight. No doomsday looming on the horizon. Yet he still prepared himself for the worst each and every time, until he finally broke and gave up, only to find the Goddess did not allow slacking in the sacred duty he had been tasked with. Now, he seeks to free himself from his bonds. How many more worlds will he need to traverse to find the power to end the cycle?
