HIDDEN TREASURE All week it had been miserable. By all the bruises and body aches, one might wonder if I was the redheaded stepchild. Val was beginning to think my human side affected my Zop side. He tried everything in his powers to awaken my dormant abilities, but instead, he got the human side of me cussing at him. I did have some gifts. I was quick on my feet and swift with a knife. I’d gotten very good with my aim. I hit my target nearly every time. At least I had that going for me, even still if I ever came up against a creature of supernatural abilities, my chances of winning were slim. I decided I needed a human break. I didn’t feel I was getting any closer to reaching my goals or finding my daughter. I wanted to decompress. So I headed for Bourbon Street, plenty of action there
