A good Agent, or a Good Fucker... to me
Tumblr media
There I was, standing in front of that mirrored US National Intelligence building, finally reaching the pinnacle of my career.
After years of serving in the army and countless tests, which I passed with honors and merit, this was where I had always wanted to be. At the height of my 30s, my dreams began to come true.
My first DAY… I was extremely proud of myself, until the day really began…
Right from the start I was quickly introduced by Lieutenant Jones to the whole team and sat in my seat awaiting the orders of the day…
"York, how is the case of trafficking in women that you're investigating? - The Lieutenant asked"
"I've got new informants Sir, I'll take their statements today and try to link them to Richard Bailey…"
"Good, take the Rookie with you, pointing with the sheets in his hand in my direction"
"But sir…"
York couldn't even finish his sentence because Lieutenant Jones had already turned his back on him and left the room… I felt his look of disgust fall on me, but I got up and went towards him
"Hey, I'm…"
"Look, Rookie, I don't have much patience for teaching anyone how the job is done, do you have any street experience?"
"So...none…"
Again he interrupted me
"I'll have to see what I can do with you, because I don't work as a nanny."
I could feel the anger coursing through me, making me shake with hatred, but I wouldn't give him that, I wasn't the first in the class for him to talk to me like that…
York headed out of the room, stopping at the door where he asked me…
" Are you just going to stand there?"
I took a deep breath and followed him down the corridors
As he walked to our living room, I felt like his private secretary, especially when he pointed to the kitchen and said
" When we need coffee, this is where you get it"
" With an extra dose of spit…sir - I whispered very quietly"
" What did you say, Rookie? - York looked at me, his ears trained, it was obvious that he had heard me, but I played dumb"
" Coffee, right? Nice "
We walked to our living room, where he pointed me to my desk
"Rookie, here - throwing a pile of folders and files on my desk - The case is simple, human trafficking, women, sexual slavery, sold to extremely rich men, Richard Bailey - pointing to a photo in the file - Main suspect, in my opinion guilty, but without the necessary evidence, we can only call him a suspect…"
Going to the evidence board
" This is where the whole mafia organization scheme is distributed, how they get there, who they are, the oranges, those who lend their names… I've got two informants today after lunch. As you won't be in the know yet, I'll go alone, maybe next time… "
Again, that look of disdain that was already making me sick… I started leafing through the folders while York looked at me from his desk…
" I don't think just looking is going to help you, Rookie…"
" Eidetic memory, you've heard of it - just raising my eyebrows without taking my eyes off the files"
" Wow, don't tell me you have a photographic memory…
" EIDETIC - I said more firmly, raising my eyes towards him - no wonder I always came first in everything…"
York just snorted as he pulled his phone out of his pocket, which was ringing…
"York… ok, I can't talk about this now… because it's neither the time nor the place - lowering his voice - Carol, we'll talk at home…"
I hung up the phone and put it on the table…
"My wife… ex-wife in fact…"
"I don't care - I replied harshly"
"I'll be in Carter's office if you need me."
"I won't - without taking my eyes off the file"
I felt his presence clear the room and I felt a huge relief, my breathing was light and I could finally concentrate on the files in front of me.
It was after one o'clock when I felt my stomach growl, I hadn't even seen the time go by because I was so focused. I grabbed one of the last remaining file folders and headed for the cafeteria.
As I sipped my juice and ate my P&J sandwich, I was about to pass the section on possible informants, when I felt someone approach me…
-Hi, you're Rookie, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Maggs - stretching out my hand
"ÉEER, hi Maggs - wiping my hand on my pants and stretching it out."
"These are agents Sugg and Cole - pointing to the men next to her"
So there are nice and polite people in the agency, who knew?
"Hey, is it true they put you with York? - Sugg asked, sitting down at the table"
I just nodded, I didn't want to talk, I wanted to show that son of a bitch that he wasn't going to talk to me like that.
"And how's it going? - Maggs asked"
"Normal - I replied, not wanting to talk too much"
"Hey guys, let's let her work, first day, she's probably trying to show off…"
I just smiled
"Rookie… be careful, ok? - Maggs smiled as they left the table.
Careful… with what?
I dismissed the thought and went back to my office. York was already there, without his suit, just his button-down shirt and dress pants, hands on his waist as he looked at his painting and muttered
"That's not right…"
He didn't even see me come in, he only heard when I threw the folder on the table
"Is there a problem, York?"
"Not that you're going to understand now, but the line of informants doesn't match up with the line of suspects here on the board"
I just walked over and swapped two photos and names on the board
"You've swapped the informant for the suspect, in the folders they're right, but on the board you've reversed the information"
York remained silent for a few seconds… arms crossed, looking seriously at the board…
"Very good work… you know… for a…"
"Rookie? - I asked"
"A woman…"
At that moment I thought the vein in my forehead was going to burst with rage, if I wasn't going to be thrown out of there for assault I really would have punched him.
He laughed
"Relax Rookie, just kidding, don't be so tense…"
"What time are we leaving to interrogate the informants?"
"Now - looking at his watch - but as I said before, I'm going alone - grabbing his suit and leaving the room…"
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
The days were always tense working with Dave, yes, that was his first name, he told me that York was what they called his father, so he preferred me to call him Dave.
A week had passed and the case hadn't moved on, the two informants hadn't turned up and we discovered that one of them had been found dead, which made the case even more difficult.
What was also weighing on the air were the constant personal calls that Dave made a point of answering and then hanging up saying he couldn't talk at the moment, so why the hell was he answering?
Constant little arguments with Carol, yes, I already knew his wife's name, or as he put it… ex-wife.
However, once again, I didn't care, I overheard him talking to Lieutenant Jones about an undercover stakeout the following night, and once again, he made no point of mentioning my name or whether I would be accompanying him on the mission, and once again, I shuddered with hatred, the right thing to do was to talk to Lieutenant Jones, but I didn't want to sound like the spoiled little girl who complains to her father when she doesn't get what she wants.
To distract myself, I decided to go to the gym to train a little, this last week had been very tense, not just because of the case, but because of him, that son of a bitch… just remembering his existence made me angry.
I put on my training clothes and went down to the gym where I started punching the sandbag, and obviously, I imagined Dave's face there…
I hit it with such anger that I felt the sandbag crack with each blow, and the next thing I knew, everyone around me was staring at me and whispering about it, I wiped the sweat from my face, throwing my hair back.
"What, you've never seen a woman who's good at punching?"
Sugg laughed and said loudly in the gym…
Sugg laughed and said loudly in the gym…
"A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO WHOEVER KNOCKS DOWN THE ROOKIE!"
I just laughed
"You can line up there…"
One thing they didn't know about me was that I had served in Iraq and Syria, but my specialty was ground combat and enemy disarmament.
The first was Agent Cole who didn't last 10 seconds, usually agents who think they're too big fall too quickly, then Agent Brown who was a bit of a handful, but usually those who are too big tend to be slow, falling too…
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
In the corridors of the agency, Dave was passing by on his way to the cafeteria when he heard someone say
"She's kicking everyone's ass, Sugg's going to have to give her the hundred dollars…"
"Who's kicking whose ass? - Dave asked"
"The Rookie, Sugg offered a little prize to whoever knocked her down, but six of them were on the mats by the time I got out of there…"
"It's not possible - Dave smiled in the corner"
"Nobody else? - Looking around - It's Suggs, you'll have to pay me."
"I'm missing Rookie - Dave has just arrived at the gym."
I'd never seen him like that, cotton shorts like sweatshirts, a tank top, his bare arms, sneakers on his feet, I confess that if I didn't hate him so much at that point, he'd be great for one night only…
I was paralyzed watching him like that…
"What's the matter, Rookie, are you scared?"
I went back to the mat without saying a word
"Let's do it"
We started at a distance, just trying to get that grip, I wanted him on the ground, and I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to step on him that day.
I managed to grab him in an armbar, making him bend over. It didn't take three seconds for him to grab me between the legs and throw me down on the mat, I felt the pain when I hit my back.
"Yeah, it's going to be pretty easy, Rookie," he said, bending down towards me."
I wrapped both my legs around his neck at the level of my calves and managed to throw him to the mat too, now I had him where I wanted him, on the floor.
Dave, very skilled in combat too, put pressure on the inside of my thighs, making me let go of his neck. He tried to grab one of my arms from behind, but I managed to turn him around, throwing him to the floor with my chest, pinning one of his arms back and getting close to his ear.
"What are you punishing me for? Just because you're frustrated, Dave? Huh?"
"I'm not…"
He turned his body on top of mine, trapping my legs with his weight
"And who told you I was frustrated?"
Dave turned me over and caught me by the neck with his right arm, putting us on our feet. I lost my advantage and even though I tried, I didn't have the strength to take him down again.
With a simple one-armed move, Dave managed to knock me to the mat once again, this time with more force.
While I was on the ground searching for the air that the impact had knocked out of me, Dave lowered himself towards me…
"You really have a lot to learn Rookie - turning around - Hey Suggs, you can pay me here…"
The adrenaline hadn't left my body, let alone the anger, I lay down the way I was, and with the short distance I managed to bandage Dave, who fell flat on his chest on the mat, I shouted and jumped on his back, he turned quickly to try to get away from me, but I caught him around the waist with my legs.
In a matter of seconds, I was sitting on Dave's lap, with my legs wrapped around his waist, I felt my groin rubbing against his, my body got hotter as I felt something there rubbing against my parts, and from the look on Dave's face, he felt that I felt it, it was a matter of seconds, but I wasn't going to let myself get carried away, I wrapped his arm around my own neck so that the air couldn't get in, Dave tried to struggle to get out, but I held him even tighter with the weight of my waist. I pressed my groin into his, my legs bent backwards.
"Hit the fucking mat Dave"
"No - Dave said between his teeth, almost out of breath."
"FUCKING HIT IT - I screamed."
That's when he used his other hand to hit the mat and surrender, I stopped for a moment to breathe while the other agents celebrated, not realizing that I was still sitting there, on his lap, with my legs hugging his waist
"Hey Rookie"
"What?"
"Are you comfortable there? - he asked, smiling"
I stood up suddenly, a little embarrassed but satisfied, took the money from Suggs and disappeared like a bolt of lightning.
I went into my living room just to get my things, I even wanted to take my shower at home so I wouldn't have to see Dave and wonder if that had really been an erection, and if so, why wasn't I angry?
Leaving the room I bumped into Dave
"Oh Rookie, tomorrow you're bringing some costumes for the night watch, you're going with me…"
FUCK - I thought - FINALLY, if I'd known I could just kick his ass, I would have done it on the first day…
"Okay, good night, Dave"
I left without looking back, but I felt Dave's eyes following me…
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
At home, showered, already in bed, watching something on TV, which I wasn't even paying attention to really, for some reason, I was horny, and looking at my vibrator on the bedside table was making me even hornier… And why not… one more night with my best friend…
I didn't even need to lubricate it, for some reason I didn't understand I was wet, so it was easy to start, as it slid in, I moaned low, its tip doing its job on my clit…
I thought of Dave's erection that afternoon…
"Yes, like this," I moaned lowly, my other hand squeezing my breast…
"Yes, come on Dave, yes, like this, this is how I want you to fuck me…" Reaching my climax, my body still trembling…
Wait… I said… Dave????
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
The day dawned, and that confused feeling dawned on me, what do you mean I called his name? I've spent so much of my life studying and serving my country that I've hardly had any relationships, and the last two years have been no different, a guy here or there when I had time to have fun, but it's been six months since I had anyone, I just concentrated on getting where I was going. Maybe that's why? I thought confusedly. I let go of this thought as I showered for another day at work, and this one would be great because I'd finally get to do some work outside the office!
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪���▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
The day went smoothly, anxiety burning in my chest at the thought of this night's stakeout, if it went well, we'd be able to arrest Arjona, one of the heads of the women's trafficking operation.
It was just after ten o'clock when we pulled the car over in the street near the restaurant where Arjona was staying.
We were still sitting in the car, in plain clothes and concentrating on the movement inside the restaurant.
"Since you have no street experience… - Dave began"
"And who told you I didn't? I served in Syria, Dave, I was in the FBI for two years when I came back…"
"Wow - he looked surprised, I had no idea"
"If you'd shut up a bit and listened to the people who are helping you solve the case, maybe, and I say this with absolute certainty, we'd have caught that informant you let die…"
Dave, biting the corner of his mouth as he looked at me in surprise, raised his eyebrows
"So the Rookie doesn't need any instruction - picking up his phone that was ringing in his pocket"
"Carol, I'm on a mission, not now…"
She hung up and threw the phone into the compartment next to the car's gearshift.
"Sorry about that…"
"Nothing different from the last few weeks - I said, looking straight ahead and raising my eyebrows."
"What do you mean, Rookie?"
"Dave, I don't get involved and I really don't care, I'm just curious… If you're always going to hang up, if you're never going to answer…WHY DO YOU ANSWER?"
"You right, this is not your businnes - Dave replied harshly, looking back at the restaurant"
I shrugged, rolling my eyes
"Because I feel like I still owe her something…"
"What?"
"Because I feel I owe her something…"
"I understood that, but… forget it, it's not in my interest"
"We've been together since college, and over the last few years I've made some wrong decisions that have affected not only my work, but also my marriage… she didn't trust me anymore and I honestly got tired of trying to prove otherwise… and…"
At that moment we noticed one of Arjona's security guards coming towards the car, he was probably watching us too.
"Be normally and follow the thread…"
"Fuck, Dave, you're not my first lookout. You've got…"
I didn't finish the sentence… I was startled when Dave's lips clamped down on mine and one of his hands grabbed me by the back of the neck, but with my eyes still open, I tried to understand what was going on, and that's when I saw Arjona's security guard coming closer and I understood what was happening… I closed my eyes and held Dave's face with both hands as I felt his tongue force its way into my mouth… and I just… let it…
His warm, slow tongue touching mine as I felt his hand on the back of my neck squeeze a little harder, his breath warm and his breathing getting louder, with my hands on his face I pulled him closer to me, while I played with my tongue in his mouth and felt him smile a little…
knoke,knoke
The knock on the car window, which had stopped us in our tracks, was still a little dull when Dave turned around to lower the window.
"Oh, no"
"That street is closed. May I ask what you're doing standing here?"
"Oh, closed? I didn't see, we just stopped here, you know… to talk - Dave smiles, putting his hand on the steering wheel."
"Interesting sir… your wedding ring, did she lose hers? - Pointing in my direction"
HE WAS STILL WEARING HIS FUCKING WEDDING RING!
Dave looks at his hand with the wedding ring
"Ow buddy, do I really have to explain?"
"No - the security guard takes a deep breath - Just get out of here or my boss will eat my ass."
"Of course - Dave says, reaching for the keys in the ignition."
"DAVE" - I shouted, pointing to the restaurant as Arjona left.
Dave immediately opened the door with all his might, hitting Arjona's security guard in the face, who fell backwards onto the floor. Dave turned him around and handcuffed his hands while I went towards the restaurant. Arjona saw me coming and put his hand in the holster where my gun was and started running in the opposite direction.
Dave left the security guard on the ground and ran towards where I was standing, signaling me to go to the right of the street while he ran the other way.
Arjona ran to the other block where he had already left a car waiting for him and even though we ran, we couldn't get there in time and so we missed the opportunity to arrest him
"FUCK - Dave shouted as he rested his hands on his knees, gasping for breath."
"Dave? - I'm still running"
"Rookie, you had to run in the direction I told you to, damn it - yelling at me in the middle of the street."
FUCK
"Maybe what you lack is youth Dave, you're dying without air, that's why you lost Arjona!!!"
"Son of a bitch - Dave gasped"
I laughed
"I'm going to the car to wait for you, I'll give you half an hour's head start"
I was disgusted that all this had happened on my first street mission for the CIA, I couldn't believe we'd lost Arjona, even if his security guard had already been put in the police car, it would have had to have been Arjona, I was pissed about it, but of course at that moment I had to think about what had happened, that kiss…
I'd never imagined that Dave had such a soft mouth, or that he was such a good kisser. Just remembering it, I felt a shiver run down my back and a rush of excitement run up my legs.
"Ow Rookie… come on"
"Let's go - I got into the car and didn't want to think about anything else but my house, what a stressful night."
"To your house?"
"What? - I asked frightened"
"Are you going home, Rookie?"
"Oh yes, I am, thank you, my apartment is on…"
"I know where it is - Dave smiled as he started the car."
"What do you mean?"
"I did a bit of research into who my partner would be, nothing much…"
"You found out where I live, but you weren't interested in finding out if I had any street experience… interesting…"
"Priorities…"
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
It wasn't a long journey, but it felt like hours in that car, something about being with him was extremely attractive, sexual, but a tension you could cut with a knife, and a feeling that something was wrong… total silence until we reached the door of my building.
I opened the door and went downstairs
"Good evening Dave…"
"Rookie, wait"
I got back into the car
"I'm sorry about, you know… the kiss, it was the first thing I…"
"Oh no no, it's okay, I understand, it was the situation…"
"Yes, I'm glad you understood"
"Again, good night, Dave - I got out of the car and slammed the door"
"Hey Rookie"
I looked back
"Next time I promise I won't wear a wedding ring… - Dave said smiling as he started the car."
What do you mean next time????

Star Trek, 110 (Nov. 10, 1966) - “The Carbomite Maneuver”
The Breakdown
The Enterprise gang come across a giant spinning rubik’s cube that won’t stop chasing them.  Since the cube also emits dangerous radiation (which becomes a major health concern), Kirk gives the order to fire phasers on the atomic cube.  The cube is successfully destroyed, but since no one knows what all that was about, Kirk isn’t sure what to do next.  Spock suggests leaving, because for all they know there could be even MORE powerful Hasbro products in the area, but kirk figures that turning back would be lame, so they push forward.  While all this goes on Dr. McCoy points out that the newly promoted Lieutenant in charge of phasers (Dave Bailey) seems a bit jumpy, and perhaps he shouldn’t have been promoted.  But I’m sure ol’ Davey will hold out longer than the last guy who sat in that chair.
Anyways, the ship carries on as planned until it runs into a second vessel that looks like of like a massive yellow giga-ball.  We discover the giga-captain (named Balok) was also the owner of the Rubik’s cube and he’s none-too-pleased with the way Kirk blew it up.  Balok explains that the cube was actually a sort of warning buoy (I guess a lethal warning is the best kind?), but since kirk ignored it the Enterprise has been selected for destruction.  Thankfully Balok has a heart-of-gold and opts to grant the Enterprise a ten-minute window so the crew can dwell on their imminent demise humanely.  I bet Balok is one of those rip-the-band-aid-off-slowly kinda guys 
While Lt. Bailey completely loses his cool, Kirk attempts to out-bluff Balok with one whopper of a hail-mary attempt; threating him with a totally-not-made-up-secret-weapon called Carbomite (which isn’t even real in the Star Trek universe).  Kirks explains that Carbomite works by deflecting all attacks on federation ships, redirecting that attack back towards any assailant foolish enough to attempt it.  Balok decides that instead of risking an attack on the Enterprise, he will break off from the mother ship, using a smaller vessel (albeit still super powerful) to drag them to a nearby planet, where the crew will be left to live out their days. 
With the mothership gone, Kirk revs up the Enterprise’s engines in the hopes of burning out his Balok’s mini-ship in the process.  And it works!  The little ship is left adrift and helpless.  Kirk beams over to the ship in hopes of smoothing things out peacefully, but not only was Balok was in control the WHOLE time, he is ALSO Ron Howard’s little brother!  He explains that he just wanted to see if the Enterprise folk would act violently if they thought they had the upper hand.  Since Kirk passed the test, Balok Howard decides to let the Enterprise go, asking Kirk for one crew member to stay behind “So he can learn more about them”.  Lt. Bailey agrees to stay supposedly because it’s an exciting opportunity, and Kirk is like “cool, maybe you’ll become a less useless bag of shit along the way!” *I may be paraphrasing a tiny bit*  And everyone lives happily ever after.
The Verdict
‘The Carbomite Maneuver’ is the second episode produced (or the third if you count ‘the Cage’) and already the show is forming into what would make it so iconic.  The Kirk/Spock dynamic is on full display this time around, and their chemistry feels more natural and familiar.  We also get to meet Dr. McCoy aka ‘Bones’, who likewise exhibits a relationship with Kirk that feels meaningful without any real exposition needed.  It’s easy to see why Roddenberry had him replace Dr. Piper from ‘where no man has gone before’.
I also appreciate how minimalistic the script is, keeping the threat largely unseen while most of the action plays out on the bridge.  Star Trek famously struggled to keep budget costs down, and I’m betting this was one such attempt; then again there’s plenty of model work for the enterprise, which apparently slowed down post production. Regardless, the end result is an episode that successfully builds intrigue around an unknown adversary.  The ending is a little convenient for my tastes, but such things are more often-than-not a limitation of network television.
3.5 stars (out of 5)
Additional Observations
At one point Baby Howard shows the Enterprise crew an ‘image of himself’ which looks like a stereotypical alien. Later we find out this was a decoy which B-Howard refers to as ‘The Mr. Hyde to my Jekyll’.  But Mr. Hyde was an autonomous split personally, not an animatronic puppet, which makes his analogy pretty weak.  The Wizard of Oz would have been a better comparison, but I guess Balok didn’t have time to read through earth’s entire literary database, so I’ll cut him some slack.
I found myself disinterested in the Lt. Baily subplot.  His character served a function, but he’s just so obviously a ‘character that we shouldn’t get attached to’.  Narratively his decision to leave the Enterprise is  not dissimilar from the ending of “Star Trek: The Motion picture” over a decade later (or even Close encounters” for that matter), but this earlier iteration never felt like it earned the emotional beat it was going for. 
Baby-Clint-Howard-but-with-a-grown-up-voice is unnerving.  I would genuinely prefer to explore the galaxy with V’ger.
Clearly someone on the writing team must have had a Rubik’s cube they were unable to solve, and this was their revenge.  I don’t care what anyone else says, that’s now behind-the-scenes canon as far as I’m concerned.
I’m happy to report that Spock’s got his blue shirt this time around, except now we have Uhuru wearing the command gold instead of her usual Red!  I guess everyone just wanted a chance to try it on? Maybe it’s an ongoing prank to see if Kirk will notice.

REVIEW
Three Cowboys and a Baby by Kate Pearce
Three Cowboys #1
 Excellent way to spend this cold Christmas Day in the village. It may not be as cold here as it is in the USA this Holiday or as cold as it was in the story, but it was nippy and this story warmed me in more ways than one.
 What I liked:
* Jen Rossi: mother, midwife, Navy lieutenant intermittently deployed away from home, difficult childhood, peacekeeper, good in a crisis, problem solver, attracted to Noah
* Noah: ex-Marine turned cowboy, planner, caretaker, problem solver, supportive, caring, good with children, drawn to Jen but not always able to share his feelings
* Sky: Jen’s son, under a year old, adorable, linchpin and major player in this story
* Luke: ex-Marine, leader in the military and on the ranch that he owns, boss, son of Sally, calm, supportive, a good man, want to find out who he ends up with
* Max: ex-Marine, good friend, likes to stir the pot, good team member, going through a rough patch with possible PTSD, wonder what his book will be like
* Noah’s sisters…briefly mentioned but wonder if Bailey might end up with Luke or Max
* The setting, plot, pacing, impact of the weather, and the interactions between the characters
* The ending and wondering what will happen in book two
 What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like – that said…if Dave the doofus hadn’t been who he was and did what he did…there wouldn’t have been this story.
 Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely
 Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Kensington-Zebra for the ARC – This is my honest review.
 5 Stars
      BLURB
 Inspired by the 1980's classic hit, Three Men and a Baby, New York Times bestselling author Kate Pearce introduces a trio of former Marines-turned cowboys working and living the ranch life. Everybody knows a real cowboy doesn’t back down from a challenge—even when that means midnight tears and diaper changes for an unexpected arrival… When an old military buddy turns up at the ranch he shares with two friends, Noah Harding never imagines the friend will skip out overnight and leave his baby boy behind. Noah will have some choice parenting advice to offer when the baby’s mother turns up, but until then, he’ll do his best to take care of the little one. Yet when a relieved Jen finally tracks down her son, Noah realizes the story is more complicated than he thought. And soon, so are his feelings for Jen . . . Jen Rossi doesn’t expect much from her unreliable ex, but she’s shocked to return from an extended mission and discover he’s abandoned their son with three men she doesn’t know. Not that Noah isn’t doing a good job as fill-in daddy. In fact, there seems to be very little the straight-talking cowboy can’t do. And with a winter storm settling in, and close quarters making it impossible to deny their chemistry, this temporary solution might just become the key to forever . . .

Greetings again, buddies.   We’ve got a slightly slimmer list this week in contrast to the past few months.   Blood Feast and The Barn may have already dropped to the 10th, however in case you did not see them then, assess for them now.
Speaking of Blood Feast, there are a good amount of classics that this week.   Reaching from 1990’s Night Angel all the way back to 1932’s , there is a pretty great potpourri of favorites from yesteryear.
In terms of newer releases, this week provides us the Kinect release of , and the DVD release for .   Probably the movie I am most interested in seeing this week would be Dave Made A Maze.   It appears distinctive as hell and also you can take a look at our review of this .
Additionally, There Are a couple of throwbacks to 2009 in the Kind of Blu-ray as well as the DVD release of , featuring Billy Zane.
Take a look at the remainder of the list below and we’ll visit another week for the big day.   As always, nice seeing.

When her automobile suddenly breaks down just outside the zone, Morgan should traverse the desert alone, enduring intense heat in the daytime and ominous coyotes in the night. She finds Hal s campsite and discovers a kit filled with memory cards out of his camera. The recordings show a series of odd sounds, eerie lights in the sky, gravitational anomalies, and an extraterrestrial presence in a nearby mountain range. Convinced aliens were in charge of her brother s disappearance, Morgan must decide whether to flee her life or endeavor to expose the otherworldly beings once and for all.

Blood Feast (1963) (2-Disc Special Edition)
Starring:
William Kerwin, Mal Arnold, Connie Mason
Synopsis:
The filmography of overdue movie maverick Herschell Gordon Lewis brims with the angry, gruesome, and just completely bizarre. But maybe the most unhinged of all his directorial efforts, and surely the most powerful, should be his original gore-fest Blood Feast the first ever splatter movie.   Dorothy Fremont is seeking to throw a celebration unlike any other, and that she gets that when she hires the most decidedly sinister Fuad Ramses to cater the case. Promising to offer her guests with a genuine Egyptian feast, Ramses promptly sets about acquiring the vital elements that the body parts of nubile young ladies!   With a plethora of stomach-churning gore gags including the infamous tongue string and a lot more nastiness besides, Herschell Gordon Lewis Blood Feast more than lives up to its title and remains essential viewing for any self-respecting splatter enthusiast.

The Corpse Grinders (1972)
Starring:
Sean Kenney, Monika Kelly, Sanford Mitchell
Synopsis:
The Lotus Cat Food Company has hit major financial trouble and is now on the brink of closing, until the owners realize that instead of paying for meat, they could use bodies in your local graveyard to fulfill their tins. As their most recent product hits the shelves, it’s revealed to possess an unintended result: every cat that eats it is transformed to a bloodthirsty brute with an unending hunger for human flesh!  
Ted V. Mikels’ (The Doll Squad) mythical cult favourite, The Corpse Grinders, is a horror classic, chock full of jaw dropping spins, mind boggling surprises, and a self indulgent sense of comedy which turned into one of Ted’s trademarks. Co-written by Arch Hall Sr. (Eegah) & Joseph Cranston (The Crawling Hand), also colorfully obscured by Mikels himself, this drive-in mainstay is proudly presented for the first time on Kinect out of Vinegar Syndrome, freshly restored in 2k from newly discovered negative elements!

Upon entry, they discover themselves in an ever-changing supernatural world, jeopardized with booby traps and pursued by a bloodthirsty Minotaur (John Hennigan, WWE champion John Morrison).

Among these are a cab driver who seems to be immortal, a set of hot-blooded soldiers with some significant chemistry, and a doctor who will t stand to receive his shoes dirty while stomping zombie heads. The elusive hero is back — but zombies are only half the problem. With less than a day before Greece is supposed to include the zombie virus, it’s becomes a race against the time for the rest humans.

TellTale Games is excited to announce that episode one of Batman – The Telltale Series is now available for free in perpetuity for all iOS users! In addition, we’re launching a free comprehensive performance update today that provides significant technical improvements and should ensure the series runs smoothly on a broader range of iOS-based devices. iPhone and iPad players can begin their adventures today and experience Telltale’s critically-acclaimed take on the Batman universe.
In the series’ opening episode, entitled ‘Realm of Shadows,’ Bruce Wayne discovers his father was in fact a ruthless crime boss, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about his identity. As both Bruce and Batman, players must negotiate harsh political realities and prevent Gotham City from descending into chaos while digging into the truth about the Wayne family’s sordid past. The decisions players make across Batman – The Telltale Series then optionally carry over into the ongoing second season, Batman: The Enemy Within.
