Our in A Sentence

    1

    A little while and we'll be where no one will find us as we play our games.

    2

    A stable vaccine was developed, our understanding of the disease expanded, and technology moved forward.

    3

    After all, someone tried to get us lost in that mine and sabotaged our Jeep.

    4

    After early toast, cereal, and requisite coffee, we were on our way.

    5

    After he returned my phone, he wrote down all our names and pertinent information.

    6

    After some negotiations Martha was allowed to remain in bed while the rest of us, Claire included drove back to our house.

    7

    Alas, woman and child have missed their opportunity to share our company.

    8

    All the more reason for us to mind our own business.

    9

    Already covered, they'll go to our ski house in Vermont overnight.

    10

    And when you get around to wondering, Lori had enough respect for you and I that she wouldn't horn in on our relationship, either.

    11

    Annie was a beautiful young girl who lived in our Santa Barbara neighborhood.

    12

    As far as we know.  I didn't see her enter the portal, but one of our spies was in her fortress when she entered the chamber you indicated.

    13

    As much as they hate me for aligning with the Dark One, they hate you more for our father's death, Sasha had told him smugly more than once.

    14

    As they lay exhausted, locked in each other's eyes, Jackson drawled, "I am definitely starting to see some upside to our situation."

    15

    As we screeched to a stop, Agent Osborn, tall and picturesque, approached our car.

    16

    As you know, I'm the only one here who actually adheres to our rules.

    17

    Aside from our personal observation that he was a first class son of a bitch, everything else about him came from Edith.

    18

    Because our enemies have your blood and know everything about you.

    19

    Because your happiness is more important to us than our own.

    20

    Before they could comment, she rose, and putting a finger to her lips, whispered, "We mustn't let Claire know our little secret."

    21

    Besides, I rather like our little family unit, and the house certainly is big enough for us all.

    22

    Betsy was beside herself with frustration when she heard what mayhem our nemesis had wrought.

    23

    Betsy was very apologetic, in the nicest way, once we were snuggled in the privacy of our bed.

    24

    Both lost their wives to cancer and I think my father was a tad jealous but pleased our marriage made his friend and his daughter both so happy.

    25

    Brennan tossed aside our concern, citing the lives we'd saved.

    26

    Brennan's admonition that our tip line might be compromised was beyond being simply bothersome.

    27

    Bumpus followed, slapping our legs with his tail.

    28

    But, I.ll keep the Council together to protect Katie and our hatchling.

    29

    By mutual agreement, announced to Howie by our silence, no discussion about Julie took place unless initiated by Howie himself.

    30

    By now, he's found a way to keep her there, even if she wins our deal.

    31

    By the time we'd finished our meal, with a piece of cake, there wasn't much time before the service was to begin and the pastor excused himself to prepare.

    32

    Can I please tell you about our amazing night and what a beautiful wolf you are?

    33

    Can we please enjoy our engagement for a while without any complications?

    34

    Come on, they're playing our song.

    35

    Dan's going to move you somewhere safe today to one of our permanent sites.

    36

    Darkyn was supposed to find me much earlier, according to our agreement.

    37

    Dean's eyes questioned and Mrs. Byrne clarified, The Mark Hopkins Hotel, in San Francisco—it was our little joke.

    38

    Demons attacked us after Sasha did something with our father.s body.

    39

    Did I trust this man I'd never met, enough to hand over all our identities?

    40

    Do not underestimate our abilities.

    41

    Do you think he was the one who switched our markings in the mine?

    42

    Donnie can bunk in our office.

    43

    Either way, we do our thing, another reasoned, kneeling near her.

    44

    Elisabeth, I have no idea how our relationship will weather this.

    45

    Even our Saviour preached liberty and equality.

    46

    Every year, the full moon in January is the Wolf Moon and there is a three day festival that all werewolves attend… kind of our high holiday.

    47

    Everyone here has a role to support our little community.

    48

    Everything this side of the Mississippi is working on solar energy, but not all the facilities are equipped with energy storage, and because it's fall, our energy collection is limited.

    49

    Feels like our power is gone.  I tried to open a portal and couldn't.

    50

    Finally Elisabeth said, "Our port is here." and pulled away.

    51

    Finally you've got something interesting—a case we can really sink our teeth into.

    52

    Finding a place to do our song and dance is the problem.

    53

    Five men, from our unique pool of soldiers, Brady said, exchanging a look of understanding with the Undersecretary.

    54

    For now, our mission is to protect the lost souls from the demons.

    55

    Gabriel will indoctrinate you to our ways, teach you to feed properly.

    56

    Good. I'm going to see someone about something that might help our radars.

    57

    Hannah and I plan on taking our honeymoon there.

    58

    He always has our best interest in mind.

    59

    He and I agreed it would operate totally on its own, unaware of our operation.

    60

    He cautioned me that Bryce might not be our only threat.

    61

    He cured my human side, brought the deity side back, and joined our souls, she replied a little too quickly.

    62

    He feels it was an affront to him because the betrayer who murdered our father came from his family.

    63

    He has spoken to me in whispers, in the dark of the night, how waves of guilt over our relationship are with him every waking moment, and yet he loves me so as to risk all for my embrace.

    64

    He is one of the greatest men in our country, was the answer.

    65

    He moved our father.s body?

    66

    He promised to keep a close watch on our house, just in case.

    67

    He scorned all the rest of us for not holding on to our prizes, as he called them.

    68

    He sends soldiers among us to take away our liberty.

    69

    He tried to look away but I turned him by the shoulders and until our faces were inches apart.

    70

    He was a great thinker and a great doer, and with Washington he helped to make our country free.

    71

    He was the only neutral party among our father.s sons.

    72

    He's in Hell, with our kind.

    73

    He's interested in meeting our Katherine's husband.

    74

    He's just like our old man.

    75

    He's playing with our heads.

    76

    He's the only one who is a direct threat and that's due to our coming so close to getting him in the past.

    77

    Her sister is mated to the second son of our ruler.

    78

    Here to listen to our secrets.

    79

    Here, my duties are light, even less than our Emma back in Boston.

    80

    Hey, boss, the storm blew out our explosives work.

    81

    His monsters are tearing through our warriors like they're made of cotton candy.

    82

    How much did you tell Sarah about our trip?

    83

    Humans don't come here unless they're dead, and even then, only a couple make it onto our supermax zoo.

    84

    I can just picture you spread-eagle over your Jeep, being frisked by some woman as all our friends drive by!

    85

    I cleaned out our bank accounts and wrapped the withdrawal slips in the same pair of shorts and pinned it to his pillow with a steak knife and took off.

    86

    I created this monster that can hack into our systems and make herself disappear.

    87

    I demand our release immediately, I am a Parrish!

    88

    I didn.t know we had a baby angel in our midst.

    89

    I do my best, but I'm as flawed as any Immortal.  I just hope our brothers see that I'm trying.

    90

    I don't fancy having him show up on our door step but I'm not sure there's much the law can do.

    91

    I don't hold our past against you at all.

    92

    I don't know if she is aware of our arrangement as few words ever pass between us, but her quarters are far from mine and we will be ever so quiet in our love.

    93

    I don't know what you did to him, but I intend to repair the damage you've done to our people.

    94

    I don't know where we'll find a place to do our thing; this joint is like a zoo with honking horns and either back-fires or gunshots!

    95

    I don't know why our paths crossed tonight, but I'm glad they did.

    96

    I don't think our friendship will survive what comes.

    97

    I don't think our friendship will survive what is coming.

    98

    I doubt the trip will ever come about as each of us seems content with our hands-off, albeit revered, relationship.

    99

    I explained about Betsy's visit and our misinterpretation of Martha's note.

    100

    I felt it in Jonny when our father-- " "No."

    101

    I felt panic when I noticed our kerosene lamp, our only light, was but half full of fluid.

    102

    I hadn't considered that having a house guest would severely limit our chances for candid conversation.

    103

    I hadn't told him of our miss information ploy to Ethel Reagan.

    104

    I haven't been this frightened since I was seven years old and got locked in our cellar.

    105

    I jumped in and explained that Molly was at our house and Julie was on route to the Boston airport.

    106

    I just don't want our kids to go through life being teased about being short.

    107

    I kicked in more coins to our marriage than Paul ever did.

    108

    I knew any defense of Julie O'Malley would bring the wrath of heaven down on our bed.

    109

    I knew I had only bought time for Molly and I and our captor would soon learn of the nonsense I'd fed him and be done with me.

    110

    I knew immediately it was our Delabama killer.

    111

    I know Cynthia don't fancy you snooping after our guests but I thought you might....

    112

    I know the whole business isn't our concern, but the poor woman is staying with us and God knows she looks as if she can use all the help she can get.

    113

    I live by a certain creed, one that runs in our family.

    114

    I lost her when our helo went down.

    115

    I parked our car here, at the East Boston airport, as we were scheduled to return together by air.

    116

    I prayed our Delabama killer didn't stalk Agnes Delanco before she or her detectives tracked him down, quickly I hoped.

    117

    I prayed our stalwart group of five wasn't down to only me.

    118

    I promised to check in from time to time as we finished our conversation.

    119

    I quickly telephoned our benefactor.

    120

    I re played the recording of our aborted final session and had judged it incorrectly when I first listened.

    121

    I related that Jackson spoke to our California associate.

    122

    I release you of our bond, Rhyn.

    123

    I remembered a judge had tossed out a search warrant obtained only on the basis of our tip.

    124

    I said a silent prayer the young lady hadn't fallen into the hands of someone like our stalker.

    125

    I sent out a party to search for our father's remains so we can have a safe place for the Council and Immortals again.

    126

    I set about showing Molly some of our Econ Scrutiny simple chores and she was immediately interested.

    127

    I spotted familiar references to our earliest sojourns in West Virginia and knowing the time and location Howie visited there at least gave me a starting point.

    128

    I suggest we make a date to meet back here and lay our cards on the table.

    129

    I suppose it's no surprise that wildlife is moving onto our land.

    130

    I think we all just want to make our new home as pleasant as possible.

    131

    I thought about what my wife said as I looked around our beautiful property.

    132

    I thought we agreed there was no point in using your mother's old dishes when we could just serve our food from the pans we cook it in?

    133

    I told him for years to take notes so our other scientists can pick up wherever he left off.

    134

    I took the ring you gave me and I too scratched that identical message on my bedroom window, the very same room where you and I have stolen our few hours together.

    135

    I turned her into something I could use in my office to open more doors for our cause.

    136

    I want to make it uncomfortable for our friend here in Miami.

    137

    I wanted to get all our cards out on the table, so to speak.

    138

    I was wondering if I should invite him to stay at our place.

    139

    I wear it always when we're together as it gives comfort to him about our situation which I know troubles him greatly.

    140

    I will make him our tool, Jade said, his mind working fast to find a way to keep Darkyn from destroying everyone.

    141

    I wished Dan luck and thanked him again for sticking his neck in the noose on our behalf.

    142

    I won't show my strength until I have to, or it works to our advantage.

    143

    I would like to thank you all for attending our gala this evening.

    144

    I would think if they see the connection they might be leery of taking our calls.

    145

    I.m saying, I release you of our bond.

    146

    I'd like to take enough supplies for our other team as well.

    147

    I'll do as you ask, if you can make it to our bedchamber by the count of five.

    148

    I'll figure it out way before our deal is up, she said, rolling her eyes.

    149

    I'll spare you the details, but our judge doesn't like hired guns from out of town and he doesn't like being instructed in the law.

    150

    I'll teach you the first weapons form we teach our warriors.

    151

    I'm going-- " "He's gone weak after all these years at battle and lost sight of winning back our planet!

    152

    I'm hoping whatever happened here in Florida didn't permanently damage our power.

    153

    I'm sure both of us would have rather had our discussion in Molly's absence.

    154

    I'm sure the museum will be grateful and help us in our research all they can.

    155

    I've been a bundle of nerves since Edith Shipton first showed up on our doorstep.

    156

    I've grown to think kindly of her these last weeks as I've spent much time in her company, though mostly she sleeps and our talk is only of trifles.

    157

    If computers are so popular, perhaps we should consider buying one for the use of our guests.

    158

    If it's anyone else she's meeting, it still isn't any of our business.

    159

    If no two people are alike on our planet, how could we be like anything from somewhere else?

    160

    If one of our guys calls, I'll go.

    161

    If only she understood our culture better.

    162

    If our boy made his getaway at more than five or ten miles an hour, you can bet your ass he was on one of these babies.

    163

    If our paths cross, it will probably signal the end of the world, but if they do, I'll consider sharing.

    164

    If our ship didn't sink, it was certainly leaking like the Titanic.

    165

    If we found they were destroyed, it would take a big weight off our minds.

    166

    If we would've lived through this, I'd name our baby Hazel.

    167

    Ikir, they're using our tactics against us.

    168

    In a profound way, our lives will be better.

    169

    In any event, it presents a beautiful view of the town common, our destination.

    170

    In case I win our deal.

    171

    In our histories, I'm king of the universe.

    172

    In our house, we didn't call the police.

    173

    In spite of our air conditioning, I was perspiring freely when I hung up.

    174

    In three days we all fulfilled our dreams.

    175

    Isn't it strange how our dreams can change overnight?

    176

    It definitely wasn't our Delabama guy?

    177

    It is disgraceful, a stain on our army, and as for him, he ought, it seems to me, not to live.

    178

    It is never too late to give up our prejudices.

    179

    It is not our business to judge and we've removed ourselves from the chore of managing the lives of others outside our household.

    180

    It meets our criteria.

    181

    It only wuined our farming!

    182

    It seemed like hours before we found our way out.

    183

    It suddenly came to mind I hadn't told them Julie was on her way west and Molly was at our house.

    184

    It was necessary to fight an unexpected battle at Smolensk to save our lines of communication.

    185

    It was our assumption that the mine was being worked in the sixties.

    186

    It was our father.s crypt, until yesterday, when Sasha stole our father.s body.

    187

    It was our father's.

    188

    It wasn't an invitation but I figured I owed my presence for what I'd learned so far and I couldn't wait to renew our conversation.

    189

    It'll cover our tracks.

    190

    It's a relationship threatening to sink our ship.

    191

    It's Easter morning and we're on our way to church.

    192

    It's fine to skimp on manners when it's just the two of us, but we don't have to look like complete rednecks in front of our guests.

    193

    It's not like you and I who remember our parents; he literally just met his mother for the first time!

    194

    It's our actions that put us in harm's way.

    195

    It's out of all our hands.

    196

    It's what he told me when we had our walk-talk.

    197

    Jackson said, I think we should stay away from populated areas, the forest is our best chance to stay hidden.

    198

    Joseph's never forgiven me for not sleeping with him after our high school junior prom.

    199

    Just like you accept your mate's version of our deal.

    200

    Keep my men with food and water, and I'll marry you if our paths ever cross, he said.

    201

    Kiki, Rhyn, check our father.s crypt.

    202

    Kinda felt like our power short-circuited.

    203

    Let's consummate our engagement.

    204

    Lied right to our face!

    205

    Little was said of our clandestine activities of the past year as we simply enjoyed each other's company.

    206

    Look, Kris, don't take our resistance personally.  Anyone who tried to step into Andre's shoes would receive the same treatment.  It's too soon after his death.

    207

    Lori, legally and emotionally she is our daughter.

    208

    May I escort you to our commander?

    209

    Maybe Darkyn is still pissed at me for breaking into Hell to rescue our friends a few months ago.

    210

    Millions will pour forth from there"--he pointed to the merchants' hall--"but our business is to supply men and not spare ourselves...

    211

    More than a day followed until we'd chiseled, in ever increasing light, our precious opening.

    212

    Most cases aren't like our jelly bean example where each person had the items the other person wanted.

    213

    My beautiful bride labored to the end, administrating to the fallen and the flu stricken souls of our town until she too, fell to the scourge of this most dreaded disease.

    214

    My circumstances are without solution and his life would be ruined if the world were to know the truth of our love.

    215

    My dear, what I do, I do for us and our future.

    216

    My dearest Joshua has been absent for near a week now, bound to the duties of his calling, and those of his wife who is much involved in the charities of our city.

    217

    My father feels it's important to recognize all those who support our family's success.

    218

    My guess is our skeleton friend wasn't important enough to even make the press.

    219

    My heart fell, knowing the session I'd left behind was over and with it, our final attempt to locate Grasso's hide away.

    220

    My place was on the street behind theirs, one house over so the corners of our lots touched.

    221

    My thought was that it was a like a time bomb, awaiting the right moment for our dear deity to reemerge, Wynn said.

    222

    Nature is as well adapted to our weakness as to our strength.

    223

    No one else uses this ammunition except for us, and this wasn't one of our ops.

    224

    No, Kris, you deserved that for letting our brother get taken by demons.

    225

    Now why don't we discuss what's really on our minds.

    226

    Now, let's put our heads together and do this right.

    227

    Of all our brothers, you are the only one who can lead us to victory.

    228

    On Monday I dared venture to Main Street to replenish our near-empty larder.

    229

    Once there however, Quinn had nailed the time perfectly as Howie saw our target approach the window!

    230

    One of our chefs has been working to make some since the message came in.

    231

    One who would like us divided so he can take over our world.

    232

    Only the two of us, dear Joshua and I, know our secret and so will it remain.

    233

    Our baby - it sounds good.

    234

    Our bargain is over.

    235

    Our case of water bottles, down three from the original two dozen would need to be rationed.

    236

    Our clans are still on the verge of war.

    237

    Our dad died last year, and I moved-- " "Age."

    238

    Our dog spotted a rabbit crossing his driveway and lurched forward to give chase, tangling me in his leash as I answered.

    239

    Our enemy figured out you're alive and on the planet.

    240

    Our European front has been growing progressively weaker the past hundred years.

    241

    Our families have fought side by side for over fifty years.

    242

    Our family has a long tradition of self-sacrifice and charity.

    243

    Our family is prone to ongoing disappointment and treason.

    244

    Our father was second born, as was his father before him.

    245

    Our father.s body was stolen.

    246

    Our friends had a good start and were able to maintain it, for with their eight wings they could go just as fast as could the Gargoyles.

    247

    Our guest registered as Edith Jones.

    248

    Our guest, Miss Turnbull, has a boyfriend.

    249

    Our guests deserve a quiet and peaceful visit.

    250

    Our helo went down and got tangled in the bridge's support wires.

    251

    Our last one was about guarding your little meat-cicle, right, Rhyn?

    252

    Our little Annie is a call girl!

    253

    Our lives and property--take them, Your Majesty!

    254

    Our man must have spent some time digging.

    255

    Our motel was at least five or six miles up the coast highway through town.

    256

    Our new quarters were in The Pacific Crest Inn on the east side of town.

    257

    Our next to last stop was Wheelock Park in Keene.

    258

    Our other plan is coming along.

    259

    Our own father wanted him dead.

    260

    Our parents thought two was enough.

    261

    Our path won't be easy, but we didn't spend thousands of years trying to be together not to take the chance we have now.

    262

    Our people feel he's been very active since then.

    263

    Our prisoners are the only survivors.

    264

    Our pumpkins are here.

    265

    Our radars are broken.

    266

    Our small city should have a college and hospital.

    267

    Our talking about it is court business, too—it's violating your pledge to the court.

    268

    Our whole life together is too perfect to let anything as insignificant as him interfere with it.

    269

    Our young people need education and more organized activities.

    270

    Our... gifted person is really obsessed with this guy.

    271

    Ouray was going to be our place together.

    272

    Papa, there was a man in our house who tried to kill me.

    273

    Perhaps we should endeavor to approach our problem together.

    274

    Perhaps, he thought, we are all owed contemplation of our actions, as a parting gift to those who succeed us so they might somehow learn from our deeds and mistakes.

    275

    Plan on disassembling our camp within the next forty-eight hours.

    276

    Probably not, but you will keep our secret, and do you know why?

    277

    Quinn and Howie retreated downstairs to prepare for our first session of the day, with everyone pretending it was a normal Monday.

    278

    Quinn and Martha perpetually had their hands full with their baby and Betsy stayed home, content to have extra time with our expanding garden.

    279

    Quinn called back just before our bedtime.

    280

    Quinn was the first to vocalize what dominated all our minds like a walk up the gallows steps.

    281

    Quinn, who'd been silent during our exchange, spoke up, "Maybe Daniel Brennan can pull in some favors."

    282

    Regrouping is our only option right now.

    283

    Remember our first kiss?

    284

    Renting your room is the last thought on our minds!

    285

    Rhyn brought you here to help our friend, Lankha.

    286

    Sasha told me how to break our mating.

    287

    Second, I can duplicate the DNA with some time in my lab and isolate the antigen, meaning I can make someone immune to our enemies' powers.

    288

    See, we tried not to play in our own backyard.

    289

    Seeing as I was awake anyhow, I did a bit of surfing for info about our guest.

    290

    Several. I had our logs checked like you said.

    291

    She can't be from our worlds.

    292

    She certainly shares our opinion that the current day Dawkins are a sorry lot.

    293

    She has a hereditary blood anomaly that makes her immune to all but the oldest of our kind.

    294

    She may be a first class bitch—but if there isn't a legal custody fight or the child isn't reported in danger or grossly neglected, it's none of our business.

    295

    She must have hiked down the back way and met up with him down at the bend in the road, below where our Jeep is parked.

    296

    She only provides tips and assumes the authorities will use our call to investigate the crime and reach their own conclusions with legally obtained evidence.

    297

    She told our neighbor Mildred she'd done something she regretted 'cause now she really liked this guy and thought maybe she'd messed things up between them.

    298

    She understands nothing of our traditions.

    299

    She.ll be so thrilled to welcome you to our family! she exclaimed.

    300

    Since your castle was attacked, we.ve had an Ancient wash up on our shores, Death.s assassin sitting in our hall, and now this.

    301

    So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change.

    302

    So thought the Emperor, and the Russian commanders and people were still more provoked at the thought that our forces were retreating into the depths of the country.

    303

    So you sapped us to keep her from absorbing our power.

    304

    So, it looks like Talon's goons took our pig and injected it with something to turn it into a vamp.

    305

    So, it sounds like the key to our happiness lies with Miriam Sidwell.

    306

    Some of our guests are apparently leaving early.

    307

    Speeding on our highways— Mr. Dean knows about that first-hand—my competent deputy arrested him for doing just that a few days ago.

    308

    Start pinging our sources in the underworld.

    309

    Still a lot of us trying to deal with not having light at night or our favorite foods.

    310

    Suppose it belonged to our friend?

    311

    Sweetheart, if I didn't feel sorry about that at some point during our marriage, I'd probably be the first man.

    312

    Talal says you have no knowledge of our war.

    313

    Tamer, this is our Katie.

    314

    Tears come to my eyes these months later as I pen these words, sitting in the comfort of our Surry, New Hampshire home with Betsy by my side.

    315

    That was our deal.

    316

    That was out of our control.

    317

    That's not any of our business, unless they trespass where they're not supposed to.

    318

    That's up to other people, not us, but I can tell you we'll miss you terribly and we'd love to have you stay a part of our family.

    319

    That's where our venison is coming from?

    320

    The attacks were too powerful for the capabilities of our enemies alone.

    321

    The barn was far enough from the house so he would not hear our hammering.

    322

    The Black God doesn't share our view.

    323

    The body was pretty far back and even then, we were lost before we crawled our way out.

    324

    The dream was drifting away from conscious memory, into that pit of forgotten remembrances that somewhere dwells in our deepest subconscious.

    325

    The enemy is advancing to destroy Russia, to desecrate the tombs of our fathers, to carry off our wives and children.

    326

    The Exemplars requested our help when Victor went on his rampage.

    327

    The Exemplars rule our kind.

    328

    The fascination little visitors were a rare in our neck of the woods.

    329

    The goal of our offered summer sojourn was described as a seasonal cabin on a small lake in near Wolfboro, New Hampshire.

    330

    The guards have shot another dozen people around the perimeters, and our sensors indicate there is a small camp of some sort housing over a hundred survivors nearby and another one with several hundred at the bottom of the mountain, she said.

    331

    The icicles are prison bars on our windows, trapping us, prisoners to this life of sin and degradation...

    332

    The LeBlanc house was by far the largest of our group, with four bedrooms, one designed as the nursery.

    333

    The next few days will be nothing but feasts and parties in celebration of our marriage!

    334

    The next morning Molly beat us awake by enough time for her to make oatmeal and toast and hand deliver it to our bed.

    335

    The old geezer is probably just pulling our legs.

    336

    The only person I recognized was the black FBI woman from our earlier meeting.

    337

    The possibility of escape was nil so secure was our twelve foot square cell.

    338

    The power of the Internet and associated technologies we have so far described, combined with our new understanding of the genome, dooms disease to eventual extinction.

    339

    The princesses Aline and Sophie sit whole days with me, and we, unhappy widows of live men, make beautiful conversations over our 'charpie', only you, my friend, are missing... and so on.

    340

    The three of us packed for three days only, as if so limiting our clothing changes would force our return more quickly.

    341

    Then added, in a mocking voice, 'We were intimate, and all our old love came flowing back!'

    342

    Then he added, "And we want our parents to feel the same way too."

    343

    Then he added, with an unsuccessful attempt at levity, "Doesn't this prove I'm looking at our marriage as a long term relationship?"

    344

    There sure are some unexplainable facets to our relationship, however.

    345

    There was neither a message nor, I realized, success with our endeavor.

    346

    There was no brief respite, no few days of safety; John Luke Grasso was here in our back yard!

    347

    There was one in Randolph, according to our patrols, but the people discovered it a few weeks ago and have been using the supplies.

    348

    There were a half dozen messages from both Julie and Howie from California but in view of our frenzied day, decided to let them simmer until after a much relished glass or two of wine and Molly's carefully grilled hot dogs and cheese bread.

    349

    There's an anomaly in your blood that makes you compatible with our kind.

    350

    There's never been a mutation like this in the history of our people.

    351

    These will be replacing our broken radars.

    352

    They are pleased as a kid with a new toy just to get our tips.

    353

    They don't take our kind there, anyway.

    354

    They know what they shouldn't about our capabilities and our weaknesses.

    355

    They need our ore more than we need them.

    356

    They never finalized our position as foster parents.

    357

    They snuck up to our property—up in the mountains!

    358

    They used our skills against us.

    359

    They used to hang in long festoons from our porch, filling the whole air with their fragrance, untainted by any earthy smell; and in the early morning, washed in the dew, they felt so soft, so pure, I could not help wondering if they did not resemble the asphodels of God's garden.

    360

    They won't need our help.

    361

    They'd like to search the LeBlanc's place on the off chance our boy broke in there too and maybe got careless.

    362

    They're scattered all across our lawns.

    363

    They're tearing apart our home, trying to find something they think can remove me from my position.

    364

    They're the Guardians at the operational front of our war.

    365

    Think we're safer at our base camp?

    366

    This invader was very cautious and avoided much of our security.

    367

    This is one of our smuggling routes.

    368

    This is our diamond.

    369

    This is our inn and we choose who stays here.

    370

    This is our investigation.

    371

    This stuff isn't any of our business.

    372

    This time our keys say 'Bird Song' on the key fob.

    373

    This was only a few days ago, when we all lost our magic.

    374

    To boot, now we've lost our only outside help.

    375

    To maintain our operations, three more.

    376

    Today, we found someone who's immune to our powers.

    377

    Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of our father's death, and we made a pact a few months ago to go there every year at the same time.

    378

    Took out two of our guys until I told her we had this one.

    379

    Two, someone in our organization knew what she was when they set her up to be Toby's human guardian.

    380

    Two, what are we going to do when Kris chooses the Code and his oath over our unanimous vote to kill Sasha?

    381

    Unfortunately I couldn't tell them about the break in at Julie's place without it adversely impacting our anonymity.

    382

    Unfortunately, there is no one left alive to salute the LeBlanc and Betsy and I want our adopted daughter Claire to know she is fully a part of our lives.

    383

    Verify there is a portal through Hell to our underworld, Gabriel instructed Landon.

    384

    Was she pleased to know her sister was joining our … family?

    385

    Was this a possible way to salvage our operation that otherwise was doomed to wreckage?

    386

    We are already well on our way.

    387

    We are not one another's enemies, and we'll never defeat our common enemy so long as we're squabbling.

    388

    We are Russians and will not grudge our blood in defense of our faith, the throne, and the Fatherland!

    389

    We are so far from understanding the roadmaps of our DNA.

    390

    We both agreed there were definite similarities to our Delabama killer.

    391

    We both have a child in our bodies and don't know what to do about it.

    392

    We both inherited our powers while Dusty was like you, a human meant for something much greater.

    393

    We both managed a smile at our mutual concern.

    394

    We burned our bridges trying to get custody of Martha last winter.

    395

    We can make our way back there, Traci said.

    396

    We cannot call attention to ourselves until our numbers warrant our attack.

    397

    We carefully examined our as yet untouched food supply.

    398

    We carry our own water and testing equipment.

    399

    We combined our headquarters in Arkansas, too.

    400

    We could advertise them in our brochure.

    401

    We could always go back to throw away phones but even those were suspect when our pursuer was a high level government agency.

    402

    We didn't want you to pay for our wedding.

    403

    We discovered her when she proved unaffected by one of our typical talents.

    404

    We discussed neither Julie nor Howie over breakfast but Betsy joined me when I left for our office.

    405

    We don't know who can, but we know who can destroy our efforts.

    406

    We don't put all our cards on the table at once, either.

    407

    We each did our own thing and the machines were solely his responsibility.

    408

    We formed our own networks along the river and joined forces with the Twelfth Army.

    409

    We had an Immortal wash up on our shores last night.

    410

    We had no right to challenge his choices in spite of our lives being tied to his as tightly as a water-logged knot.

    411

    We had to rely on our wits as well as our bodies to get into and out of some really rough places.

    412

    We have enough on our minds.

    413

    We have our own kinds of generators, ones that don't work nearly as well.

    414

    We have yet another upside to our relationship.

    415

    We haven't discussed our trip.

    416

    We lost quite a few of our friends, she said with a frown.

    417

    We make our own alcohol.

    418

    We marked the way out of the mine but then he showed us he'd picked up our markings.

    419

    We might have to fight our way into the palace tomorrow.

    420

    We might not get the gangbangers, car jackings and armed robberies like the big cities but we sure have our share of domestics.

    421

    We must cease raving if we are sons of our Fatherland!

    422

    We offer safety in exchange for the use of your abilities to support our mission.

    423

    We scrambled our voices and used only secure lines.

    424

    We shopped for our first car together.

    425

    We should come out above our Jeep.

    426

    We stopped for an ice cream to compose our guest though I disliked taking the time from calling Daniel Brennan to run the license plate number we'd recorded.

    427

    We took the car on vacation and our two families had a great time.

    428

    We totally enjoyed our exhilarating trek to the summit.

    429

    We were sealed from our captor!

    430

    We were so damned settled it was a given we'd be holding hands in our wheel chairs.

    431

    We will create a new beginning for our people and heal our planet together.

    432

    We will meet them soon at our temporary home.

    433

    We will set up our plan to capture him.

    434

    We won't spend our nights away from one another.

    435

    We'd be happy if you attended our gala.

    436

    We'd be safer if we could manage the wars within our boundaries.

    437

    We'd better watch our step, and not give him any excuse to harass us further.

    438

    We'd discussed the possibility of conducting our business at other sites, should the need arise.

    439

    We'd go twenty, thirty miles away to do our business, moving to different towns.

    440

    We'd sort of made a pact that our lives began when we met each other so the past wasn't discussed much, if at all.

    441

    We'll find out what she can do when our guests arrive.

    442

    We'll take the supplies and come back for our team member when he's well.

    443

    We're about ready to close our end of the case unless you've found something that looks fishy.

    444

    We're going to miss it but the guy that's bunking with the fat lady just 'bought' our room.

    445

    We're inviting the GM to our fundraiser tomorrow night.

    446

    We're not the custodians of the morals of our guests, nor the taste of her lovers.

    447

    We're surviving because of our position with the PMF and no other reason.

    448

    We've accomplished a lot and we certainly haven't forgotten our promise to you.

    449

    We've all been keeping our noses too close to the grindstone.

    450

    We've gotta finish our rounds.

    451

    We've pulled in some of our deployed forces from the wars to assist, but they will take some time to arrive.

    452

    Well then, we're on our way to happiness ever after.

    453

    Well, I guess it's time we see if Fred needs any help with our guests from Boston.

    454

    Well, maybe our reason isn't as good as we think.

    455

    Were you pleased by our rather gruesome discovery?

    456

    What are our plans for getting out of here?

    457

    What ever happened to Bird Song's 'mind our own business' philosophy?

    458

    What's worse is they want to use our backyard as their warzone.

    459

    Whatever is going on, it's none of our business.

    460

    When a child does something bad, we talk about it—try to find out why—make sure we all learn from our mistakes.

    461

    When I informed him we were terminating our operation, he said he'd have suggested it if we hadn't already done so.

    462

    While I can't say for certain he'd been drinking—the autopsy hasn't been performed yet—I know from past experience that many of our teenagers drink regularly.

    463

    While I detested closing our nine month incredible relationship on so sour a note, I felt the decision was his.

    464

    While I knew we were helpless to do anything positive in Howie's absence, I never-the-less opened the site where Betsy located cases for our attention.

    465

    While Martha was on the phone trying to get our air conditioning system checked, I had a few moments alone with my wife.

    466

    While we couldn't keep up with the ambulance but we held our own and kept the emergency vehicle in sight.

    467

    Whoever did that—changed our markings out of the mine—do you think they were trying to kill us?

    468

    Why do you feel you are better equipped to be our next sheriff than your opponent?

    469

    Why don't you just let us do our work and stick to answering our questions?

    470

    Why, our mothers used to be married at twelve or thirteen.

    471

    Will keep him out of our hair.

    472

    Will start evacs for our skeleton crew at noon.

    473

    With luck, he'll tell us if it's our man or some local hoods trashing Julie's place.

    474

    With our speed, we should be able to run down deer.

    475

    Yeah. I guess we went in—a little way— but it wasn't so bad until the flashlight started dimming and I got scared we wouldn't find our way out in the dark.

    476

    Yeah. I think our traitors have some influence on that, too.

    477

    Yep. We have our own support group.

    478

    Yes. Our healer did what we could.

    479

    Yes. We must warn our battle commanders about the possibility of war with Qatwal.

    480

    You all have been so nice to us, and we've enjoyed our stay.

    481

    You and I have plenty of challenges with our present and future.

    482

    You brought a snack to our little party.

    483

    You brought our father from the dead-dead?

    484

    You brought our man closer to being identified than anyone else so you should kiss off any guilty feelings.

    485

    You can lie there still like you did for your master while we do our thing, or we can tie you and beat you into submission and then do our thing.

    486

    You can mate her to one of our friends!

    487

    You could say they were used for leverage if the country trounced too far on our generosity or refused to take into account our national interest when they acted up.

    488

    You have a rare ability among our kind.

    489

    You know, if you hadn't joined our family, I wouldn't be here, and Father would still be alive.

    490

    You make no deals with anyone aside from our private deals.

    491

    You may be accustomed to scraping by in some third world country, but this is our country.

    492

    You mean our baby?

    493

    You should have seen us out here cooking steaks in our mit­tens.

    494

    You wanna solve both our problems, be there when I do.

    495

    You.ll find our chefs the best in the world, the host said, ignoring Katie to address her sister.

    496

    You're not just a boarder here—you're part of our family.

    497

    You're on shaky grounds even talking about the place—especially details of our going up there.

    498

    You've seen our house.

    499

    Your marital difficulties aren't our business but Bird Song is and we don't want any hint of trouble here.

    500

    Your sister's family joined our enemy.
