It was a seventeen-hour drive from where I’d been staying to Sadie’s apartment, but I did it with only three bathroom breaks along the way when I’d stopped to refuel. To give him credit, Marcus had kept up with me and had just pulled into the spot beside me in the parking lot for her building.

Jumping out, I sprinted to her front door and knocked on it as hard as I could, not knowing if she was in or at work. If it was the latter, I’d just get back in the truck and drive to Rebels. There’s no way I was leaving it any longer to see her and check for myself that she was okay.

I was about to do just that when the door was pulled open, and I was face-to-face with a very angry MeeMee.

“’Bout time you got your ass back here,” she whisper hissed at me, sticking her leg out to stop Dobby trying to squeeze through a gap his butt would never fit through. “You here to upset my grandbaby even more?”

“Never.” I tried to convey how serious I was through that one word to her. I wouldn’t ever upset her again, not if I could help it.

“Oy, MeeMee,” a deep male voice with a British accent said behind her. “Can you make meatloaf for dinner? The one with the eggs in it and no ketchup on top. I had it at a diner the other day, and I swear they almost ruined it for me for life. Then I thought, MeeMee makes it properly, she’ll fix you right—” the voice stopped talking at the same time a tall guy with dark hair appeared behind me, his expression changing instantly into a scowl. “Who the fuck is this?”

“Uh oh,” Marcus whispered behind me, getting the guy’s attention on him.

He turned to look behind him, then back at Marcus, before doing it all again. “How’s that possible?”

“My grandson’s not bright, which makes me worry about the fact he’s around buttons that can make missiles go flying into the sky,” MeeMee chuckled, then turned around to face who I now knew was Sadie’s brother, Craig. “They’re twins. Obviously, identical ones, unless you look close enough.”

Then, she opened the door wider and motioned with her hand for us to come in, pushing Craig back a bit as she did it. Of course I wanted to get to Sadie, but I also didn’t want to be rude to her brother.

“Craig, I’m Elijah,” I told him, holding my hand out for him to shake. “This is Marcus, Jackson’s twin.”

“Cray-guh,” he said, shaking my hand slowly.

“Sorry?”

“British people pronounce it Cray-guh, not Creg like they do here. It’s the same reason that the James Bond actor’s called Daniel Cray-guh and not Daniel Creg,” he explained, looking sheepish about it.

Looking at Marcus to see if he’d known this nugget of random information, I was relieved when he shook his head to say he hadn’t.

“Sorry, man. I get people mispronouncing my name all the time, too, so I get how irritating it can be.
