Mission Almost Impossible

By Loc Glin

The odds are against him, but Jerin will find a way! With or without the gene Kaley will be his...

On Setera, only one in four hundred thousand is born possessing the cryan gene—a gene essential to the survival of the Seteran race. Jerin and the others like him are duty bound to find the match to that gene somewhere in the universe, for it can no longer be found on Setera. With no clear instructions on how this task is to be accomplished it is a daunting undertaking, like finding a needle in a haystack.

Jerin’s assigned quadrant is Earth. After twelve years of searching he is beginning to lose hope, until the answer hits him over the head with a frying pan. Now all he has to do is convince this beautiful, feisty woman to follow him to another universe in a galaxy far far away.

Thanks for clicking in to find out about me! I have a passion for writing fantasy with a bit of romance (sometimes quite erotic) thrown in for good measure. My Mystic Museum series with SirenBookstrand is a testament to that. I’m the first to admit that my life could be considered quite boring. Maybe that’s why I plunge into writing. Lol. My mind can be a wonderful place filled with unique characters and unknown destinations. I’ve raised identical twin girls. One of those lovely ladies has made me a grandmother. Their father and I have been divorced for about twenty years, almost as long as we were married. The Ex and I are still friends. I am currently involved in another long-term relationship with the man I consider my soul mate. See, I’m boring, but I must be doing something right to have had two such loves in my life.

Chapter One

Jerin sat in a booth in a tavern trying to drown his sorrows. He’d stopped into Norman’s Pub for lunch. It was three o’clock in the afternoon now. While lost in his thoughts time had moved forward relentlessly. His heart was heavy, despair was beginning to set in, and he was trying to forget about that too when he was filled with a sense that something was about to happen. Automatically, he was on high sensory alert. When the woman at the bar stood up and approached him, he took notice. Maybe she was the one he’d been searching for.

You look like you’re down on your luck and could use a friend, she said.

Maybe, a little of both. He lifted a bottle of Guinness to his lips and took a swig. I’m between jobs at the moment, he said by way of explanation. He looked her over, up and down, trying to gauge her intent.

Now isn’t that a coincidence. I run a temporary service agency. She smiled. May I sit?

Be my guest.

She slid into the seat opposite him. I’d like to hire you. She smiled at him pleasantly.

How do you know I possess the skills you require?

The women of Earth seemed to find him attractive. He’d been propositioned before. This might be one of those situations.

I specialize in ‘men for hire.’ You’re a man. I’m pretty sure I have something you’re qualified to do. She gave a little snort as if it were obvious.

He let his eyes rove over her body and then drew his eyebrows together. I don’t do that—

She laughed interrupting him. "That’s good because the Helping Hands Agency doesn’t do that either."

He felt color rise to his cheeks.  He’d been on Earth for ten years, and sometimes he still read situations incorrectly. I apologize for my assumption.

That’s quite all right. If a man approached me in a pub and offered me employment, I would probably assume the same thing. My name is Rebecca Redburn, by the way, and you are?

I am called Jerin. He extended his hand in the manner of people making acquaintance.

It’s nice to meet you, Jerin. She smiled. Please call me Becky. I’m sure we will enjoy a mutually satisfying arrangement.

That meeting had taken place two years
