Snippet #1722657

Eden hugged her boys to her and glared after the raven. Looking over at the snickering Desmond "What?" "Eden my dear, when we lived in New Orleans we used to do a bit of 'slight of hand' on occasion...what he has there in his hand is a fake emblem. If Hadrian had something like that in his possession I'm pretty sure he would have entrusted it to our family, or just destroyed it completely out of boredom. I'm glad he took the bait though. Very glad he didn't notice it when I slipped it in his pocket." Eden suppressed a satisfied grin and bonked him lightly on the head "bad puppy bad....no cookie for you." Osmond and Desmond let out barks of laughter and the three of them walked arm in arm laughing back up to the house where the twins family was waiting, and their real mission was about to begin.
