    Kovalenko Chronicles (pt. 5) Warning: The following excerpt contains drug references which some may find offensive.

    The Kovalenko Chronicles (pt. 4) Dedicated Professional Xi Xiao couldn’t help but revel in the feeling of excitement coursing through her body. Much like a child on Christmas Eve, the anticipation of a new assignment was downright exhilarating. The tingle she felt up and down her spine intensified with each step down the staircase. She…
