“Are you saying what I think you’re saying?” I ask.
Dax swipes a hand over his face before looking back at me. “Xeno’s moving on to Plan B, or at least part of it. He’s flying out to Mexico. He’s going to kill your brother.”
For a moment I just look at Dax in shock, then fear expands in my chest, pouring out of my mouth in a rush of anger. “The fuck he is!” I shout. “When was this decided?”
“He called whilst you were in the shower. Gave me a heads up.”
“This is bullshit!”
“Kid—”
“No! Xeno is not going to Mexico. This is not happening. It’s a death sentence. You know that, right?” Dax clamps his mouth shut, refusing to answer me, but I can see he thinks the same. “I will not lose him now. I won’t!”
“Kid, nothing you say will make him change his mind.”
“I don’t care. I’ll fucking tie him to a chair if I have to. He’s not doing this,” I exclaim, storming out of Dax’s bedroom and into the front room.
“What are you doing, Kid?” Dax asks as I sit down on the sofa.
“Waiting.”
“They’ll be hours at the very least. Maybe even days…”
“Then I’ll make myself comfortable,” I reply stubbornly, folding my arms across my chest.
Dax is wise enough not to argue with me. He knows as well as I do that I won’t back down.
