“That he knew people who could help. Friends of his. Why?”
“Because I’m wondering if General Aslanov knows about his son’s excursion with the American Guild.” Gabe distractedly crossed his leg over the other and tapped his lips with his finger. “This could be the opportunity we’ve been looking for.”
As I silently watched the EKG machine attached to my sister, a resolution took form inside of me and grew with every heartbeat, only to cement into an ironclad resolve.
“I got my results for the PTS.”
“And? Did you get in?”
“Yes. First in my class.”
“Congratulations! You’re one step closer to fucking up your future. When are you leaving for Illinois?”
“They’re expecting me in a month. I wanted to make sure my sister was all right before I left.”
“What about school?”
“I’ve spoken with Mayflower. With everything going on, she’s agreed to let me finish my education virtually. I also got an exemption for the gala.”
“Are you sure about this, Moose?”

“No, I’m going to him and bringing him here.”
“He won’t be happy.”
“That’s just too damn bad, isn’t it? Can you watch over her while I go to Sacramento?”
“Of course, you didn’t even have to ask, my brother.”
“Thanks, Man. I’d better hurry. My flight leaves in less than an hour.”
“Go, I’ll be here.”
I opened the door and came face-to-face with a pissed off Jelly Fish.
“When were you going to tell me?” she yelled, uncaring that dozens of people could hear us. I grabbed her arm and guided her toward the first empty room I could find.
“How much did you hear?”
“Enough.”
