Cin got up and moved over to the window so she could peer out of the blinds. “I liked flying private. Think your grandfather would pop for another flight on that jet of his?”
“To visit Troy?”
“He doesn’t have to know she’s his son’s killer, Star.”
She nodded. “You’re right. We’re in agreement, then? We speak to Troy?”
“Yeah, I think that’s for the best,” I concurred.
As always, we’d gotten some answers but had blown open a minefield that we needed to dig through.
One thing was certain—that bottle of tequila we were going to split when this was over had never been further from our reach.

TEXT CHAT
Lodestar:I have news.
Maverick:Let me bring Alessa into this chat so I don’t have to relay it.
**Alessa added to group chat**
Alessa:Hey, Star
Lodestar:Hey. There’s no need to run that DNA test anymore.
Alessa:You’re not related?
Lodestar:No. Her father was a high-ranking Sparrow, Alessa.
Alessa:What?! That’s impossible!
Lodestar:It isn’t. It’s the truth. He was killed in a power grab and Kat almost died as a result.
Maverick:Jesus Christ. Has this been confirmed?
Lodestar:Yes.
Maverick:Fuck. What’s your next move?
Lodestar:I’m coming back to the US. On a plane now, heading to New York. Conor’s going to arrange for one of his men to collect Kat. I need him to bring her to the city.
Maverick:Why?
Lodestar:I want to see her. I don’t know how long I’ll be stateside and if she finds out I’ve been here without visiting her, I’ll never hear the end of it.
Maverick:Lol.
Alessa:I’ll make sure she’s ready. What time?
Lodestar:Five okay?
Alessa:Sure. You’re certain she will be safe?
Lodestar:Conor’s men mean business.
Maverick:I can have a brother ride with them.
