• Alec woke up to a heavy punch across the jaw, and the first decision he made was that he preferred an alarm clock. The second decision, following closely on that one's heels was that he should get up. NOW.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?" the warrior asked again, irritation clearly in her voice, shaking himself Alec groggily replied,simply "Alec".
