[Hunter]

Reggie gave us a lift to the hospital in his brother's old Ford Focus. We didn't say anything on the way, the three of us were too stunned.

While I was off playing cops and robbers with my fake friends, my grandparents were lying in a street bleeding out. While the police were busy searching for me for breaking into Vandersteele Tower, only a handful of blocks away at Lincoln Center my grandparents were being assaulted by real criminals who left them to die in an alley.

They had tickets to Swan Lake, the same ballet performance I had said yes to every year except for this one. If I hadn't been hanging out with Debrassy, robbing a building his family already owned, I could have been there with them.

They wouldn't be dying right now.

The entire ride there, all I could think about is how different it would have been if I had gone to that ballet with them. Would those monsters who got their rocks off attacking old people have lifted a hand against them if they had seen a tall

    An hour later, I was standing next to my sister, our family, a matching set of dark statues. My father had made sure I looked as impeccable as the rest of us, and I was so thoroughly drugged, I almost needed a stick to prop me up. My sister and mother, black lace veils covering their faces, had more freedom of expression, but if anyone were to remove them, they’d see the same stoney faces that my father and I wore openly.The turmoil in our hearts and minds was perfectly masked by designer clothing and blank faces, ready to face the public.We were the Grants. And on that day, we were united.As we stood next to their caskets, a memorial photo from their wedding in black and white hanging on the wall above us, we stood in a line to accept the condolences of all of New York City’s elite.

    Janey sat in front of a wall of monitors stacked tall and wide, framing my older sister in their cool white glow. She looked comfortable and relaxed sitting next to my school friend, wearing a headset with little kitty ears and custom microphone and pastel colored-sweats while eating red-hot chips with chopsticks, a bluetooth keyboard on her lap. She didn’t look like a law-student off to Stanford in a few months. She looked like a college gamer girl. And like Reggie–far too comfortable. Leaning against an oversized pillow, she grinned at me and answered, “Well we were doing a bit of gaming while I was helping Katie with a project, but then you had to almost get yourself arrested,” she frowned. “Really, Hunter. I love you, but breaking into Vandersteele Tower wasn’t one of your best ideas.” “I thought you were going out with your friends tonight,” I accused, remembering her with the socialite squad on her way out of our joint party. She is only 20, but that’s never stopped her from

    Reggie drove me not over to his place, like I was expecting, but to Katie’s place on the upper west side. I hadn’t been there before, partly because it was a rough neighborhood, and partly because I had never been invited. Katelyn Rose and her twin brother Ace were a bit of a mystery. The Rose family wasn’t one of the illustrious clans of New York, but they had more than enough money and influence to have their children in one of the finest private academies in the state. I’ve been told that for ordinary folk, the waiting list to get in was so long that people signed their children up in utero.Katie and Ace were never flashy or tacky, never showing off their cash, but always had the best of everything. Poor kids, no matter how lucky, can’t afford $3,000 leather loafers and bespoke uniforms to wear to school. But nobody knew what the Rose family actually DID to make their money. They weren’t bankers or lawyers or old money living on trust funds. But it always seemed to be flowing, a

    My body froze.Here I was, dressed like the criminal that I just became, holding the evidence of my crime “red-handed” only a few hundred steps from the scene, glass decorating the inside lining of my hood. My head darted from side to side. Didn’t Debrassy say that he’d be here, that the whole reason he left early was so that he and the crew could get the van?Where the hell was he?And then I remembered his warning, that if I didn't make it out in time he'd leave me. But I had set an alarm, I made sure I was here on time. I wasn't late.He also said that he and his crew had handled the security system, but obviously they missed something because I musth have triggered an alarm. It couldn't have been from breaking the glass. That wasn't even 5 minutes ago. The cops had to have been on their way before then.But I didn't have time to think it through. The answer would come to me eventually.What I needed to do was get out of there before the police noticed me. I just needed to act cas

    But I wasn't worried, we had a plan.The problem was, I didn’t have all the details. Following Debrassy into that building was a leap of faith. I had trusted Debrassy when he told me it was better this way. "If you knew everything...well then you might be in more trouble if we get caught," was his excuse, right after he tried to convince me that we wouldn't have a problem with the police even if we did. I believed that he would tell me what I needed to know, and if he didn’t tell me, it was probably for my own good. “Don’t worry about it,” he had reassured me, “We'll be in and out in 15 minutes," he assured me. "Then back to my place to celebrate." Looking back now, I realize it was the same as writing a blank check for placing blame--he could make me pay any amount he chose because I was too foolish to read the details before signing. But I was blind, not because of ignorance, but because of my own stubborn nature. I needed to believe I had made the right choice following him, so
