The Depredides Dance — C.M. Simpson

All I had to do was disappear. That was it: disappear and stay out of sight. Hard enough with Abs running an auction for the last location she left me, but then I poked the Depredides communications network -- and everything else looked downright easy… I'm not even sure there is a way out of this…

The Depredides Dance is a stand-alone short story set in the Odyssey universe. However, if you're into reading things in order, it tells the story of what happened to Cutter after the end of Mack ‘n' Me: Origins, and thus forms story 1-1 of the Mack ‘n' Me ‘n' Odyssey series.

NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren't much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.
