What
is your name and what is your job?
My
name is Marice Houston and I'm a Deputy Marshal stationed in Kansas
City—That's Missouri, folks.
What
do you want most?
Before
all this started, I would have said I wanted someone to love. Well, I
found that and a whole lot I hadn't counted on. At the most basic
level, I want to get out of this alive so I can build a life with
Kris.
Why
is this so important to you?
Because
it's kinda hard to get married and have kids if you're dead. This has
made me realize that I had nothing to lose before—now, I do.
What
makes you happy or sad?
Kris
makes me happy. Wow, how girlie does that sound? Some tough chick you
are, Houston! It makes me sad to think that he could have been
killed.
How
do you treat the people in your life?
Not
as good as I used to think, unfortunately. I intend to work on that.
Can
people count on you?
Absolutely.
I will do whatever I can to keep friends and family safe. That
extends to the people I work with. They're as close as family.
What
makes you angry?
Injustice,
needless violence, senseless death, hatred, prejudice.
Do
you stand up for your beliefs?
I
do, defiantly and adamantly. I'll listen to other views, but they
better be logical and well represented.
What
excites you?
Wouldn't
be real polite to say that, would it? Suffice to say, when Kris gives
me that look, I'm excited. Every woman out there knows the
look I mean. The one that says Get naked and meet me in bed.
What
kind of books do you like?
I'll
be honest, I don't have a lot of time to read. When I do, it's
probably a mystery story. I like to see if the author is accurate and
if the clues really do point to the antagonist. Other times, I'll
settle down with a juicy romance. A girl can't be all about work,
right?
What
kind of music do you enjoy?
Heavy
Metal, Classic Rock, Blues.
What's
the one thing you'd most like to do before you die?
I'd
like to marry Kris and have a family—maybe have a boy I can name
after my twin, Maurice. He died when we were teenagers.
If
you could, what's one thing you'd change?
I'd
find a way to save Maurice.
