I rapidly cowl myself earlier than opening the curtain.

“Thanks,” I say, combing my fingers by way of my hair.

“You okay?” Elijah asks.

“Yeah. Simply jumpy, I suppose.”

He nods. “So, how’d it go?”

How’d it go?

He says it so casually like I simply ran an errand on the town.

“It was…” I pause, not sure the way to reply it with out him pondering I’m loopy.

Am I loopy? Ought to it trouble me greater than it does that I simply dedicated homicide for just a little cash? Nevertheless it wasn’t just for that. It was for us, so our household may keep collectively. Elijah understands that. He’d perceive me if I simply stated what I used to be pondering out loud.

“Superb,” I whisper. “It was not like something I’ve ever felt earlier than.”

“That’s what Dante stated, too,” he says, his eyes missing any judgment in any respect.

“Mercer stated they’d have one other mission for me in just a few days.”

I decide up a second towel off the counter subsequent to individually wrapped soaps and tiny bottles of generic shampoo. A Chicago resort room tonight. Tomorrow night time? We don’t know.

However that’s a part of the job.

I start patting my arms dry. “Have they assigned you to something but?” I ask.

Elijah shakes his head. “Not but, however Dante advised them I used to be good with a needle. Mercer stated they’d be no scarcity of nicks and cuts for me to follow on. Looks as if they’ll make me a medic, or one thing.”

“That sounds cool.”

“Yeah, it’s…” He smiles. “It feels proper.”

I nod. “It does.”

“Are you positive you’re okay?” he asks. “With all of this?”

I take a breath to actually give it some thought earlier than answering. Am I actually okay with this? Am I actually okay with being a contract killer at seventeen?

Possibly. Possibly not. However the different was unacceptable.

“I’ve to be,” I reply. “Are you okay? With all of this?”

He hesitates. He is aware of he can say no matter he desires to me. My twin and I’ve agreed and disagreed a lot over our lifetime, however we’ve by no means been too scared to say what we’re pondering.

“I’m okay should you’re okay,” he lastly solutions.

“I’m okay,” I say.

“Then, I’m okay.” He stands just a little taller. “And now now we have Dante again, too. That’s all that issues to me.”

“Agreed.” I smile. “We at all times stated we’d stick collectively. If that is how we try this, then I’m in. I don’t care what I’ve to do, what I’ve to… turn out to be. So long as you guys are there.”

“Agreed,” he says.

“I don’t know who I’m with out you, Eli.”
