Starting this thread with chapter 11!

Chapter 11 - Unrecognized Protocol

Jane, Bethany's father (yup, you read that right, father - she's a hermie), travels to one of the Eastern Citadels to meet with the Emersons, Bethany's grandparents because they summoned her with important news regarding Bethany.

They had never summoned her after Emma was forced to give the child away and marry two assholes from a wealthy family. The fact that they summoned her without warning can only imply one thing: They want to take Bethany away from her.

Be prepared for some loud arguments, and the start of the novel's plot.

(Also, get ready for some interesting revelations regarding Bethany's job )

After the initial shock, she has a much friendlier talk with Lady Emerson.

Chapter 16 - Breadcrumbs

Bethany remembers how she met the gang as the Madame gives her a ride on her sky car, inadvertedly revealing a painful secret. Agent Williams is starting to look for clues regarding Bethany's whereabouts.

Edit: Just fixed some scenes; I realized I had added too much sex (lol ) and decided to remove some parts. So now instead of having Beth and the Madame have sex behind the scenes, all we have now is sexual tension. Definitely better and more in-character for both.
