The pistol barked in reckless bursts. Each round sliced past Marley’s cheek, ripped the air beside her arm, and kissed the fabric near her thigh. When the final round clicked dry, Julius lowered the smoking barrel.

“Take her to the station,” Julius told his men, “let her rot in a cell for the rest of her life, and make sure the days she spends there are anything but easy.”

“Understood.”

“Madman… you are a madman, Julius Whitethorn! Do you really think Quinn will ever love you? This world holds only one person who can truly accept you–me, only me. Laugh at me all you like; I will watch you suffer for it,” Marley shrieked when the guards dragged her away.

A guard clamped a hand over her mouth and hauled her from the room.

Julius lowered his gaze, his face carved from stone, studying the sandalwood bracelet wrapped around his left wrist.

Suffer, huh? I am already walking through hell.

“You are going to Doria?” Laura blinked in surprise.

“Yes. I wanted confirmation from the military that Rowan survived the border fire, but the surveillance footage from Doria shows him alive. It means the blaze injured him, and somehow he drifted across the border.”

Yet Quinn could not understand why, with all her brother’s skills, he had failed to reach anyone back home. Neither the military command nor she herself had received a single signal from him. Is he trapped by circumstances beyond his control–or had the worst already happened?

Her fingers tightened into a fist. No, Rowan is still alive.

“Since I know Rowan surfaced in Doria after the fire, I will go there and look for him.”

“But Doria is a mess right now. What if something happens to you?”

“I have been to Doria before on missions. I will not travel blind. You know my background–even if danger finds me, I can protect myself.”

“You may have served in the special forces, but you were discharged three years ago. If you run into a crowd, even your skills might fail. Let me come with you.” Laura was still worried.

“I appreciate it, but no. I do not know how long the search will take, and you have a company to run. Alone, I can move quickly. With you to protect, the risk doubles.”

Laura fell silent, realizing her friend made sense. In real danger she would only slow Quinn down.

“Don’t worry. Once I arrive, I will check in with our embassy, and the military will also provide support for the search,” Quinn comforted her friend.

“Then call me every day.”

“Deal.”

“When do you leave?”
