* * * *

Sean remained silent on the way to Palm Oaks. His eyes fixated on the scenery from the car windows while the taxi sped down the highway. Several times Veronica tried to make conversation but he didn’t reply. Instead he nervously tapped his fingers on his knees.

His behavior was noticeable, and the taxi driver asked him if he was alright. Sean nodded, mumbled and continued with his erratic behavior.

It was only when they were inside Veronica’s apartment that Sean began to release his frustration. He paced back and forth in her living room, undecided on how he could tell Veronica the truth without sacrificing their friendship.

Sean let out a weak laugh and ran his fingers through his hair.

Veronica took off her jacket. “Are you sure you’re okay? You seem a little spooked.”

He stopped pacing and looked at her. “They’re coming, Veronica. Do you know what that means?”

“Sean, sit,” she said as she pointed to the couch. “You’re making me nervous.”

He stared back at her and finally succumbed and sat on the couch.

“I don’t care if The Brotherhood is coming back to Minneapolis.” She sat next to him. “This isn’t going to stop my search.”

He tapped his feet rapidly on the floor. “That’s not it.” He leaned back and sighed.

“What is it?”

He didn’t know where to start; The Brotherhood, her father, the real reason he came to Minneapolis . . . He couldn’t bring himself to tell her everything just yet.

Before agreeing to his plan, Sean pieced the tiny remnants of what he could find together. He never told Veronica, but he’d always thought her mother had died. Killed, not by the hands of a Deamhan, but by the hands of her own father. Everyone who ever worked in The Brotherhood during and after that time speculated the very same dark scenario, but no one suspected and no one really knew. When Sean tried to find out, his own parents warned him about digging into The Brotherhood’s dark history.

During his long work nights in his office at the San Diego headquarters, he searched around, listening to the rumors being said about her father. He sifted through old boxes filled with documents that smelled of old water in the building’s dank basement. He hacked into The Brotherhood files, only to find that the information he wanted was blacked out. He searched secret information before it was moved in the highly secured and guarded library. His own parents told him stories of their youth as researchers, unaware that their son was piecing together clues. It was only a hypothesis, but he felt it was damn near close to the truth. When Veronica mentioned the name Lucius to him, his brain lit up like a light bulb.

“There’s something that we’re missing.” His voice drifted as he thought.

“What?” The tension drove Veronica mad.

He lifted his head and turned slightly toward her. “Veronica, I’m sorry to tell you this but, your father sent me here to spy on you.”

Veronica gently placed her hand under her chin and she turned her head toward him.
