The Omega Team: the Lion (Kindle Worlds Novella)
“Mike was relieved Roger was of the canine variety, but wondered about the practicality of his presence in the life of a woman who changed jobs, cities, professions like the wind.
“What possessed you to take him in?” Mike asked as they stood in her tiny living room overlooking Florida Avenue.

She’d ranted about nothing else in the past half hour as... he drove her over to her condo and parked in her high-rise garage. “He’s bigger than your kitchen.”
She flitted around, getting Roger’s dinner ready. “If you had seen him. He was sleeping rough, out on the streets. His hair was matted and he was full of fleas.”
