Quotes edit see section history

• “Got it. Look for a room with a sign with a big arrow that says, ‘Kidnapped Mancies Here,’ ” he said.”

  Adam Lazarus

• “We passed by a few workers, who did double takes as we ran past. I supposed that the image of a hairless cat in a sweater being followed by a stressed-looking chick in stiletto boots could have been funny. I was too anxious to get the hell out of there to see any humor in it.”

  Sabina Kane

• “Sure. What's the worse that could happen." Twenty minutes later, we had our answer. "I can't frecking believe this." I cringed. "I'm so sorry." "I'm bald!" Giguhl continued. "I look like a freak." "It's not that bad," I said. But it was. Oh, my lord was it bad. I'd never seen an uglier cat in my entire life.”

  Sabina Kane and Giguhl

• “You okay?” “Am I okay? You just shot me through the heart with an arrow!” “Hey, it’s nothing personal.”

  Giguhl and Sabina Kane

• “Must not kill the demon cat. Must not kill the demon cat.”

  Sabina Kane

• “Stop it. That sad little kitty thing isn’t going to work on me.” “Come on, Sabina. Look at him. He’s shivering, the poor thing.”

  Sabina Kane amd Vinca

• “What good is an assassin if no one fears them?”

  Sabina Kane

• “Freaking males, I thought, they couldn't be more obvious about their territorial dispute if they'd both peed on me.”
