Chapter Eight

Sun

Sun wanted to call his family about as much as he wanted to staple his hands together, but needs must. He chose to call his grandfather, who would be the most levelheaded about the situation. Which, granted, wasn’t saying much. His grandfather wasn’t really in his corner on this.

He got situated on Wicky’s bed, braced against the headboard, and made the call. Wicky lounged on the bed next to him. He’d claimed he would stay by as moral support, but Sun suspected he was also testing how well Mobius could interpret, as he had an earbud in his ear already.

Still, the moral support was appreciated.

For Mobius’s and Wicky’s sakes, Sun put the call on speaker so he didn’t have to repeat anything. He saw no reason in trying to make parts of this private. Wicky would hear it all shortly one way or another. If not in this phone call, then when they went in person to his parents’ house.

Grandfather sounded like he was about to come out of his skin, he was so vexed. “Nong Sun! Where have you been?”

“I found him.”

Stunned silence. Sun let those words hang in the air for a moment before even trying to follow up.

“He’s in Bangkok. He’s come to me.”

Someone hijacked the phone.

“Sun,” his father said, “we have you on speaker now. Your mother and grandmother are also listening in. You found him? Is that what you said?”

“Yes.” Sun eyed his own phone warily. Should he brace for an explosion or not?

His grandmother went with the practical question. “What’s he like?”

“Um, well…” Sun darted a smile at the man lying patiently next to him. “He’s very good-looking.”

Wicky visibly preened.

“He’s an American, and a mage. Wicky is his name. He works for the American government and has come here with three of his teammates.” Sun didn’t know what else to say without going into all the wrong details. How did he capture the essence of this man? Saying he’s patient, kind, and has a wicked sense of humor just felt so flat in comparison to reality.

“An American agent?” Mom didn’t like the sound of that, the frown evident in her voice. “What does he do?”

“MAD—Magical Activity Division,” Wicky answered easily. Mobius used his speaker to interpret, the Thai overlaying Wicky’s own voice in a rather credible copy. “Think of us like magical troubleshooters for when shit hits the fan.”

“That sounds dangerous,” Mom fretted.

Sun lifted his eyes to the ceiling and asked the heavens why his parents were so overprotective. Seriously, why?

Dad didn’t sound happy. “Son, why don’t you come back home today. We need to talk about this properly.”

That conversation would just be a joy and pleasure. “I’ll come, and bring them with me so you can meet them. But I want you to understand that I’m not staying. Resign yourselves to that now. I’m leaving with him.”

“Sun!” Mom protested. “You can’t just go home with a strange man you’ve barely met!”

“A strange man that my magic chose to show me? A strange
