Free Hacked (Warriors of Light Book 5) by April Zyon

definitely storm their walls if they thought anyone from their past was there. “Did you know Jesus Christ? Was he really a god, or was he just a man?”
    Demaratus just stared at her and gave her one of his barely there smiles. Humming softly, he turned his gaze up to the ceiling. Once they came to a stop, he pulled her through the doors as they were still opening and hustled her down the corridors to the dining hall.
    Holly saw the folder there still with his jacket and headed toward it. Once they were seated, she began to fill out the paperwork. “My bra size … what the hell?” she blurted out a moment later. “Why do they need my bra size?”
    “For ordering clothing. Everything is done online and sent to a variety of PO boxes we have in several different counties. They are all paid for through a corporation that is owned by another corporation that is owned by another. A way of shielding us, as we don’t age. We have it planned so that, in the range of twenty to sixty years, we sell it to another of our companies, so that it always belongs to us. It’s only something we’ve had to start doing in the last century, as record-keeping became more and more accurate and available to anyone.”
    “Ah, okay, well, that makes sense.” Several minutes later, Holly set the pen down and sighed. “Okay, I think I’m done.” She read back over the file and nodded. “Yep, I’m all done. Let’s get this back to Deidre.”
    Pushing to his feet, Demaratus grabbed his jacket and waved her toward the doors. He was right with her, fortunately, so she ended up pointed the right way once they were out of the dining hall. He kept a hand on her back as he guided her through the maze of corridors back to Deidre’s office. When they stepped inside, the woman glanced at her watch, looked to them with an arched brow, and held out her hand.
    Holly passed off the forms and felt herself blushing. “Sorry. I’m afraid that I got distracted and distracted Demaratus as well. I found my mouth spewing things that I shouldn’t have spoken out loud in the cafeteria, and it ended up with DC here carrying me off. Not that I minded, but yeah. Thankfully, he recalled the paperwork and we got it done, though.”
    At her side, Demaratus had a hand over his eyes as he shook his head and groaned. Deidre shook her head and began to go through the papers, one by one. “You need to initial line fourteen on here,” she said, holding out a sheet. The woman continued to flip through while Holly scrambled to comply.
    She felt like she was a kid standing inside of the principal’s office, waiting to see if she was going to get in trouble or be set free. She shifted on her feet and finally asked, “So, all done?”
    That question earned a look that had her pressing her lips together. Demaratus eased back a slow step, then another. “Line six needs your initials.” Another page was whipped out and held up for Holly to take. Deidre kept clicking her tongue softly as she continued through the file.
    Holly looked over at Demaratus and allowed her eyebrow to cock up. It was killing her, the wait. She shifted nervously as she did so.
    “Quit fidgeting. It’s extremely annoying and distracting. I’ll be done when I’m done. Currently, I’m not. If you keep it up, I’ll lose my spot and have to restart. Do you really want me to have to start over, Ms. Smith?”
    “Crap, no, I don’t.” Holly stopped moving around and bit the inside of her mouth. She reached out, took Demaratus’s hand in hers, and simply waited.
    Deidre finally flipped over the last page and closed the folder. “Stand in front of the wall, please, chin up, but looking toward me. You should be looking in the vicinity of my forehead.” Digging out a Polaroid camera, the woman came around her desk and lifted it up to look through the viewer. “No smiling, but for the love of all that is good, relax your face. You look like you’re in front of a firing squad.”
    Demaratus had a
