Dmitry

I threw a couple boxes across the storeroom, using a bit more force than was strictly necessary, so that they crashed into the wall at the other end of the room and threatened to spill the straws and napkins that were inside of them.

“Hey, easy there,” Andrei said, joining me in the storeroom. “What the hell did the boxes ever do to you?”

I scowled over at him. “I’m on inventory duty,” I told him. “And I’m not in a good mood for company.”

“I’m not company, I’m your brother,” Andrei pointed out.

I sighed and rolled my eyes, the anger leaving me. “Andryuka, I don’t want to talk,” I told him.

“So I’ll talk,” Andrei said, shrugging his shoulders, just as stubborn as ever. “You listen.”

“That’s not-“ I started to say, but there was no stopping him.

“You can’t stop thinking about this Audaz girl, can you?” Andrei asked.

I frowned. “Where did you hear about her?” I asked.

“Sergei was livid when he found out how our cover had been blown,” Andrei said. He paused. “It’s not exactly a secret. And they’re talking about sending you back to Russia. You’re just lucky that all Audaz cared about was beating you up. Embarrassing for you, maybe, but your punishment would be worse if they had planned some great counter-attack on us.”

I snarled wordlessly. “You think I don’t know that?” I snapped.

“I’m not the enemy,” Andrei reminded me. He was silent for a moment, watching as I made vicious marks on my clipboard. “I think you could make amends if you wanted to. Apologize, tell them that you’re compromised, quit the business. You don’t exactly need the money. Again, no one was hurt except you. Their headquarters was empty, and you didn’t decide to fight them when they stormed your location.”

“And the family?” I asked bitterly. “I’m surprised you’re even here talking to me; I got the feeling I was a leper over the past couple weeks.”

Andrei sighed. “Everyone is just waiting to see how things shake out,” he said. “And that partly depends on whether you graciously apologize and make amends or if you continue to fling around boxes like they’re mortal enemy number one.”

I stared at the latest box, which had split open down one side with the force of my hurl. Then, I turned towards Andrei, slumping down to sit on one of the boxes across from him. “I can’t stop thinking about this girl,” I admitted. I shook my head. “I don’t even know what it is about her. God knows I’ve had women in the past, and I’ve had Spanish women in the past too. They’ve never managed to captivate me like she does.” I laughed bitterly. “But I guess that’s probably just because she was intent on being the person I wanted her to be, so that I would keep her close and she could infiltrate.”

“Something tells me you don’t really believe that,” Andrei said, looking carefully at my face.

I shook my head. “It doesn’t matter,” I said. “Either way, whatever I believe, it doesn’t matter.
