Hello, everyone. I have decided to write a sequel to No Strings Attached. This is a small preview of it, and the completed first chapter is now published. Since many of you do not have me on your author alerts, I figured the best way to let everyone know about the sequel would be to post something in NSA.

Six Months Later

"And now, Natalie has the latest news regarding the Pendragon Scandal. Natalie?"

"Thanks, Fred. The hearings continue this week regarding the infamous Pendragon drug scandal. For those of you who are living under a rock, just two months ago Scotland Yard officials were called to investigate a shooting inside a medical supplies warehouse on the outskirts of London. When officials arrived, twelve were dead and five were seriously injured.

"After immediate action by paramedics, the details revealed themselves in what would become one of the most noteworthy drug scandals to occur in this decade. Dozens of doctors were shown to be involved in a prescription drug ring that dealt false prescriptions ranging from medical marijuana to highly concentrated morphine. It appears that the ring was in going through a change in leadership, which sparked the confrontation. Our sources tell us that there were two rival factions in the ring which were competing for power. At the head of one side was Dr. Arthur Pendragon, the head of pediatrics at an esteemed hospital here in London - Dr. Pendragon is among one of the five that are currently hospitalized for injuries related to the shoot out - and backed by numerous other highly noted doctors and physicians. The late Dr. Mordred LeFay reportedly led the other faction and passed away during the evening's events. It is unclear who delivered the shot that resulted in Dr. LeFay's death.

The courts continue to sift through the hundreds of emails, text messages, phone calls, and pharmaceutical reports in attempts to piece together what exactly happened that night, and how many other violent crimes may have been results of the Pendragon drug ring.

Dr. Merlin Emrys, Pendragon's partner, continues to offer no comment on the situation other than to say that Pendragon is still in critical care and will continue to stay under hospitalization throughout the preliminary court proceedings. There's no -"

At that point, Merlin shuts off the television. He puts his head in his hands, eyes closed, and tries to control his elevated heart rate. He can't even watch the news for five minutes without having to hear something about Arthur, about the case, about the fucking mess he'd gotten himself into. You would think that after so many months he'd be used to hearing his name on television and seeing Arthur's associated with one of a criminal.
