Part 91

“Charlie, I’m not going to kill you,” I said. His eye caught the movement and he turned toward the open-plan area. Kiran stood up and looked at me as I smiled at him. He took a cloth from the scullery and walked toward Malachi as he wiped the blood away.“This isn’t possible. I saw you shoot him,” Joshua said as he stood up from the table. They were freaked out and it wouldn’t end just yet. Five minutes after Kiran got up, Malachi opened his eyes and sat upright.“That last one stung a little,” Malachi said and stood up. Kiran threw the wet cloth over to him and he started wiping the blood away and walked over to Jessica. He kissed her on the cheek as she gave him a look. “Morning.”“Don’t forget the blood on the floor or Adara will make you clean the whole house,” Jessica said to him.“You all know I have a no bleeding in the house rule,” Adara said as she came down the stairs and surveyed the damage.“Okay, I’m freaking out a little. They were both shot and there’s nothing, no bull

Part 92

“So, what’s your plan exactly?” Kiran asked me as I drove toward Garfield Park.“Jessica gave me her cloak and since you insisted on coming with me, you can make us disappear. Will you be able to open the gate in the basement? It works with biometric fingerprints on our cards but they would have disabled mine upon my death,” I said.“I don’t know. I’ve never had to open a fancy gate like that before,” he said with a smile.I pulled into Bo’s driveway and the garage doors opened up. I pulled inside and switched the car off. I got out and Kiran opened his door as well.“Yo, man, it’s been too long,” Bo said and we arm-hugged.“This is Kiran, my nephew,” I said to Bo. “This is Bo, my friend.”“Yo man, why you all gotta be so damn tall?” he asked as he shook Kiran’s hand.“Good genes I guess,” Kiran said with a smile.“Come on in. I got your bag,” Bo said.We followed Bo into the house and indicated the bag on the table. I opened it and took out the holsters and fastened them to my thighs

Part 93

Peter stood up and walked right past us and looked out into the hallway. There was nobody there. He closed the door again and pushed against it to make sure it was closed and walked back to his desk.“Stay hidden,” I said to Kiran and he nodded. I walked over to Peter’s desk and sat down on the chair facing him. He was busy making notes, probably noting down Malachi and Kiran’s deaths. I felt nothing for the man I once revered as I sat watching him. I took the hood of the cloak off and inhaled.“Hello, Peter,” I said and his face paled when he looked up and saw me sitting across from him.“No, it’s impossible. You’re dead,” he said.“Yeah, that’s the problem, Peter. You tried to kill me.” I took the Jericho from the holster and put it down on my lap.“I don’t–”“Call Lynda to join us,” I said and he looked at me.“How did you get in here?” he asked me.“That’s my little secret. Call Lynda,” I said and looked at the gun.Peter picked the phone up and dialed her number. “Lynda, I’d lik

“That was kind of intense up there,” Kiran said to me.“I’ve always hated him, but now I feel free,” I said.We stepped off the elevator and Kiran opened the gate again. We walked into the street and I stopped at the corner and waited.“What are you doing?” Kiran asked me.“You’ll see,” I said.Exactly ten minutes after Lynda left Peter’s office, the roller door in front of the gate came slamming down. She was locking down the building and I knew it was utter chaos in there. The Director being killed with no footage on the cameras in the hallways would forever remain a mystery.“Now we can go,” I said.We walked back to the car, taking our time, and took the cloaks off as I unlocked the doors. We stuffed the cloaks back into our bags and got in the car.“Thank you,” I said to Kiran out loud.“Anytime, Levi,” Kiran said. “This is what families do.”I had felt him in Peter’s office, taking control of my emotions. He had kept me calm and composed because the hate inside me was reaching b

“William.”He raised his head and started to cry as he jumped up and ran toward me. I grabbed him and picked him up as I hugged him. He had lost weight and I could feel his ribs through his shirt.“Please take me with you,” he whispered through his tears.“I’m never leaving you again, kid,” I said as I held him. “I promise.”We stood there for a long time, him crying and me holding him. He was twelve now, he had turned twelve three weeks earlier and I had sent him here. I had done this to him as much as they had. My intel had been bad and I knew I’d never forgive myself for putting him through this.“Put this on,” I said as I put him down on his feet and nudged the shopping bag. “I’ll be right outside your door.”“No! Please don’t leave me alone,” he said suddenly, afraid that I’d leave him.I turned around to give him some privacy to dress and I heard him take the clothes out of the bag. I looked up and saw his reflection in the mirror hanging on the door. I looked away quickly becau

Part 96

“William, did your mother ever tell you that you’re different from other kids?” I asked him. He got this guarded look in his eyes and I thought to myself that she had.“It’s okay, William, because I’m different like that too,” I said as we drove back to Seward.“You are?” he asked me.“I grew up not knowing my family. I thought my parents didn’t want me and my life wasn’t always easy, just like yours,” I said.“Did people hurt you too?” he asked me.“Yes, they did, sometimes very badly. Do you remember I told you once that you won’t always be the underdog?” I asked him.“Yes.”“Do you think I’m an underdog?” I asked him and he shook his head.“No, you’re strong and brave,” he said.“So are you, William, because we’re the same,” I said.“My mom and Ava said I’m good for nothing,” he said and more guilt hit me.“That’s not true, kid. You’re special and kind and I love you,” I said.Before meeting Charlotte, I doubt I would have said that to anyone. I hadn’t said it to Nataly even when s

Part 97

I looked at Malachi like I was trying to read his mind. “Married, not married, there’s not much difference in how we’ll live or how we’ve been living.”“Wow, Levi, how can you be so stupid and smart at the same time?” Malachi asked me with a smile and shook his head. “She won’t feel part of this family until you marry her, until then she’ll feel like a guest in this house.”“She was married before. It didn’t end so well, I doubt she wants to walk that road again,” I said. “Besides, have you seen how bossy she is? She doesn’t feel like a guest here, she knows I love her.”“Then why not?” Malachi asked me. He had me there.“You were raised differently than I was. I’ve never seen the point. Nothing changes if we get married,” I said and Kiran gave me a look. A real ‘what the hell’ type of look.“She’s going to give birth to your child in roughly six months, trust me when I tell you she wants that security feeling of being married. It creates something sacred between the two of you, stren

Part 98

I walked back into the house and headed down the hall to the study and opened the door. Adara was sitting on the desk with her legs wrapped around Kiran who stood directly in front of her.“Don’t you knock?” Kiran asked.I knocked on the door and Adara started to laugh as she buried her face in Kiran’s chest. “It’s called a bedroom, you know.”“What do you want, Levi? I’m kind of in the middle of something,” he said and I chuckled.I turned half away from them. “Charlotte took my car, so I need wheels.”“Why don’t you just buy her a car? It’s not like you can’t afford it,” he said and threw his car keys against my back.“Thanks,” I said and turned to pick up the keys. “Carry on, soldier.” Kiran started to laugh as I closed the door behind me. I went upstairs and texted Jennifer. She got a job. She felt insecure and she had told Jessica but not me and Jessica had told Malachi, hence the speech. I had kept myself so busy with the renovation of the house that I hadn’t really thought of

Part 99

“Am I cold and unfeeling?” I asked Adara.She wasn’t blunt like Jessica but she was open and honest and probably the nicest person in the Sinclair family.“Sometimes,” she said and smiled. “You are who you are, Levi, but at the core, you’re a good person. You care about the people closest to you, like William. What you did for him is…I don’t even have words. Then, at other times, you get that look in your eyes like you miss your old life.”“I do sometimes. It’s all I’ve ever known,” I said. “How do you do it? You married into this crazy family.”“It hasn’t always been easy, believe me, well you know, because Kiran gave you all his memories, but I love him enough to see it through every day. I didn’t have much of a life before I met Kiran, but every day with him is an adventure,” she said.“Charlotte doesn’t talk to me about everything and neither do I with her. I’m not always sure what she wants or what she’s thinking. I kind of just took her whole life away from her and dragged her a

“Would getting married make you feel better,” Kiran said and burst out laughing.“I didn’t mean it like that,” I said, wondering if they’d heard every word. Of course they had. Charlotte had been yelling pretty loudly.“You’re so clueless,” he said and Adara gave him a look.“That really wasn’t necessary, Kiran,” she said and looked at me.“It’s still funny,” he said and held his arms in front of his face as the apple hit his arms.“Nothing I do is right. I bought her a house and it’s a problem. I bought her a car and that’s not right either. I give her access to money and that’s the worst thing I could have done apparently,” I said.“Levi, seriously. I’m surprised she didn’t slap you,” Adara said.“What do you mean?” I asked her and Kiran started to laugh again.“She wants you to do the big gesture thing,” Kiran said.“What Kiran means to say is, she wants to feel that she matters to you. Asking someone to marry you should be special, it should be special to her because she’ll always
