All of the reports and finances had been accounted for…she thought. Belinda made herself haggard by looking for all of the digital forms that constituted her tax return for the year. She knew that she didn’t have to pay them. She knew that it was not a necessity, punishable by law with threats to garnish wages, fine, and even throw her in jail. Despite all that, she actually enjoyed paying her taxes. The thrill of knowing that warriors, cops, and judges supported and defended and settled for her was enough for her to pay millions of dollars to the government.

Chapter 01 | Aestas ¤ The Yellow Balloon
After clearing the decontamination chamber, Lilit stepped out directly into her workstation area. She didn’t understand why she had to go through the process since at this juncture she was still separated from the new arrivals by an impermeable wall of plexiglass, but the powers that be on Aestas were always exceedingly cautious about the potential transfer of pathogens. Sighing, she gave in and accepted that in an enclosed environment like theirs it was a reasonably prudent precaution. Still, being separated from people during first introductions always made things difficult. Lilit felt that it was necessary to physically be in proximity with her new clients in order to understand and assist them.

They never attacked the people of Willow Cove. So, that's good.
