"And why would the police depend on a fugitive foreigner? "I rinsed it, frowning lightly. Thinking about all that mess that the Brotherhood had become, made my chest less sore. At least I wasn't thinking directly about Mikaela or Colton. "Hunter, we've already had the kind of discussion where you're on one side, blindly relying only on what you see, and I'm on the other, suspicious of everything. And I don't know if I'm going to be rude to you in saying that, but I don't consider working for the police, at this point in the championship, to be a beneficial thing. They lied. They fooled us. They didn't give us any help, especially for you and me. And now they want you to work for them? In the name of what? Of another day of life? Because the Brotherhood will not stop just because they will find out what such a man is important to them. They won't settle down until the whole country is in ruins. So what's the purpose? For months Caleb has been trying to convince me to work for them, and

"So my answer is no "I spoke firmly. Caleb and Scott looked at each other. "I can't help if you think I still offer some risk to the country. I have a boyfriend to find, a villain to defeat, and a criminal faction to overthrow. I can't let the matters and plans be kept secret. Hunter Hollis knows more than I do. And he is the person who would be least likely to keep a secret. Not because he was part of the Brotherhood; no one in this world wants to end them as much as Hunter. But I say because he's a man. Men do not always know how to contain themselves in the face of a stressful situation. I lost an important person, someone I loved. I lost another one that was with whom I was planning a future. And I know that my country is about to be hit by an atomic bomb if it does not give in to the whims of a crazy Brotherhood. I want to know what's going on and what the real plan is. Or I won't be part of any of that. I won't be used and I won't even keep quiet. You can close the matter now if

And that was the reason why I hated the press the most. Because the right to know about it belonged to Mika's family to the rest of the people who cared. Because I knew your image could be going viral out there. And that this was not fair to everything she represented to us. Mikaela was more than just a woman who was brutally killed. And she deserved to have had respect. But there weren't any. I felt disgusted."I was talking to them at the time of the broadcast," I told Colton, and due to the lack of surprise in his reaction, I noticed that he also already knew about that fact. I sighed. "And I didn't think they were showing that to the world. If I knew, I would never answer. I would never have given them the chance to show that they had a power over me that I didn't even know. And they took advantage of the cue I gave. And I was weak, Colton. I finally understood what they meant about killing all my fears, to become strong. Because I was weak when I saw you and Mikaela. I let you se

"What I know is that you didn't even tell me your name, but you've already shown yourself to be the kind of person I would never agree to work with "I spoke in a laughing tone, but giving my best look of reprimanding the man. He didn't even seem shaken, and kept cleaning and watching his bullets. The projectiles would be shining when he finished, especially at the time he was illustrating the ammunition. "But if you want it that way, then we have a deal. I also don't make a point of helping in this way, especially if you need it. In fact, I don't even want you to try to include me in any of the missions that are not strongly linked to the Brotherhood. The police know I don't want to get involved in investigations. I don't want to have to take unnecessary risks. I believe this must be your job.”"Names are irrelevant," he said in a cold and distant tone. His fingers pulled the tip of a projectile, and when he brought it close to his eyes, I noticed that the golden tone really shone. "A

"This makes me think of the psychological terror that my brother's return gave me "I commented with a low laugh, only when the necklace hit my neck by the movement, I realized that the police would be listening to every word said; that they expected me to ask the reasons why the Brotherhood wanted that man's head so much. I just wanted to vent, I didn't even notice that I was pulling out truths that he never revealed to the world. "He died for the first time when I was very young, very young. And I thought for all the years that he deserved to have had a longer life, and that I would love to meet him. I remember all the times I prayed, asking for his return. And I remember all the times I was against the right people to support him. I criticize the Brotherhood, but I did the same for my brother for many years. I wanted him, wherever he was, to be proud to see me keep his image intact. I even had my first accident because I was upset with a friend who criticized him. I never wanted to
