George wandered around for a long time with no clear plan. At last, he spotted Alfred on the security

cameras.

He headed straight to the garden. He had just opened his mouth. Alfred-

The answer wasn’t his brother’s voice.

It was a bullet.

George turned around and locked eyes with Toby not far away,

He glanced at the dark, smoking hole nearby and let out a quiet sigh.

Toby really was a great shot.

Still, George had come prepared. He was wearing a bulletproof vest.

He rugged at his shirt, now torn open with a big hole. George spoke casually. “Toby, long time no see. That’s how you say hello?”

“Where are the hostages?” Toby kept his gun trained on him. His pale face looked cold enough to freeze the air.

“What, are you trying to play the hero now?” George sneered. “Since when do you care about saving people?”

Toby’s voice cut like a blade. “Where’s Maya?”

Maya?

That little girl–six, maybe seven?

“Oh, you know her too?” George perked up a little. “She’s pretty interesting. Her rich dad even offered five billion to get her back.”

He stopped mid–sentence.

Toby had pressed the gun right against his temple; the barrel was still warm.

“George.” The boy’s eyes were dark, like two bottomless wells, filled with hate. “If anything happens to her, you’re dead.”

The smile on George’s face faded.

He stared into Toby’s eyes, trying to find even a hint of bluff.

There was none.

Toby meant it. His brother wanted to kill him.

What’s wrong with you?” George’s voice turfred cold. “If something happens, so what? Nothing lasts forever. If one’s gone, there’ll always be another.”

Toby’s anger snapped. You think that logic still works when it’s your friends? If anything happens to Maya,

I’ll kill them first.”

George hated being threatened. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Toby’s head.

“Try me. I’ll take you out first.”

Alfred was wordless.

Let them threaten each other all they want. Meanwhile, he was still tied up. Not tired at all. Not uncomfortable at all.

“Maya is our sister,” Alfred said calmly. He worked at the ropes around his wrists, slowly loosening them bit by bit. Then he looked up and stated flatly, “The first time I met her, Mom told me to protect her. Now she’s been kidnapped. I’m going to tell Mom that everything is your fault.”

A few simple lines and the standoff broke.

George snapped his head toward Alfred.

“What did you just say? She’s our sister?”

In that moment, the shock and absurdity hit him hard; it pushed away the urge to shoot Toby.

He forced a stiff smile.

“You’re joking, right? I haven’t seen you for years. The first thing you do when you see me is crack a joke?”

Alfred looked at him with those dark, steady eyes. “You think I’d joke about this?”

Did he look like the kind of person who joked?

No. Not at all.

Alfred had the worst social sense in the world. Joking with his brother? That wasn’t hing

George just stood there, stunned.

He looked like he’d turned to stone, like a strong wind could crack him apart.

The girl I have known for a month is my sister.

My sister.

Maya is my sister.

What have I done?

I’ve worked with kidnappers and helped kidnap my sister
