Alfred and Dalia were there with their adoptive daughter Lisa. I only mention the adoptive part because Shamus always says it whenever he mentions his sister. I think it’s a joke, but I’ve never gotten a straight answer from him. Their being present for the wedding was Sha’s other condition. The bill the Alliance paid to find out some Angel’s bones were at the bottom of the ocean must have been astronomical.
How’s that? No one important died, and the sidekick lived happily ever after. It may have taken me a trip halfway around the world to realize that the bachelor life’s the one for me, but I certainly learned it. And the new fighting skills aren’t half-bad either. Stay tuned for my next adventure. Until then, this is Helmut Haase, signing off.

Before Helmut went abroad he had to save the world! Read more of his adventures in Helmut Saves the World.
Helmut Saves the World
My name is Helmut Haase and I’m one half of the Fog City Detective Agency—specifically, the half that pays all the bills. My partner, Shamus O’Sheehan, mostly drinks beer and naps. I keep him around because he’s my friend, but also because he’s a Druid. I’m just a detective, and there are plenty of those in Wudong, the Confederacy of Hesperia. There’s not another Druid for miles.
We had it pretty good until the day we met Alek Pallas. He hired us to track down a thieving employee, and even though something was off, his big fat check was too much to pass up. But the man we found wasn’t what we were led to believe, and neither was Alek.
I’m talking shape-shifters, fallen angels and a conspiracy involving the vicious Cretan Empire. At least we didn’t die. Hope that doesn’t ruin the story.
Why am I telling you all this? Someday I’d like some credit for saving the world. Maybe not the entire world, and maybe not alone, but I still deserve a medal. And perhaps a cash prize.

About the Author
Moody and sarcastic at the best of times, the author should not be conversed with prior to his morning cup. Excels at sitting with his feet up, drinking beer or coffee, depending on the time of day, and reading; but has yet to find someone willing to pay for that service. Has always been, and will always be, his mother’s favorite child. Dreams of someday moving to a deserted island that supports coffee trees and hop vines.
Where no great story goes untold.
The variety you want to read, the stories authors have always wanted to write.
With new releases every week, your next great read is just a download away!
