Chapter 10

Hope grabbed Keegan’s hand and squeezed it. “We did it.”

Keegan turned away from the night sky outside the airplane window. Her round eyes were filled with fear, the cut on her forehead bleeding behind the bandage.

Only a miracle had allowed the three of them to leave that house with minor cuts, while the others lay unconscious on the floor. That miracle was Jaydan Rose.

His courage astounded her, his quick thinking astonishing. She’d never been more proud of, or grateful for anyone in her life.

“I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Giving her a warm smile, Hope shook her head. “No, we’re on our way to Natalie now. We haven’t told her a thing. We wanted to surprise her.”

Keegan’s bottom lip quivered as she nodded. “I can’t wait to see her. What about my father and mother?”

Hope stilled. She’d never had to tell someone that a loved one was dead. The feeling of dread and genuine hurt in her chest made it hard to speak. Keegan had been through so much already.

“Your father is in Los Angeles going through rehabilitation from burns he sustained last year. Your mother passed away shortly after you were abducted.”

Shaking her head, Keegan stared at her lap. “God, so much tragedy...” Looking at Hope, she took and deep breath and feigned a smile. “I’m glad Natalie is engaged. We need some good news in the family.”

Hope said, “I think your return is pretty darn awesome.”

Keegan’s smile reached her eyes this time.

Hope had always felt she’d been slighted with her small family. Keegan was leaving a dwelling of evil to be reunited with a family she didn’t know. She had no real concept of home, of family and love.

Hope couldn’t imagine going through life without her father, and now Riordan and Natalie. The family she’d always wanted was now a reality and she would do everything in her power to make Keegan feel a part of it.

“Would you like to see some pictures?” Releasing Keegan’s hand, Hope unbuckled and walked over to her tote bag on the seat across the aisle. Digging through the bag, she tossed the contents on the seat and floor, looking for her tablet. Finding it, she went back to Keegan.

Scrolling through pictures, she found one of Natalie and Riordan sitting outside the artist’s colony where she currently resided. She handed it to Keegan.

Keegan gasped before she turned to Hope. “She’s engaged to Riordan St. James?”

Hope smiled with pride. “Yes, she’s a licensed psychologist and was hired to work with my brother after he returned from Mongolia last year.”

Keegan tapped the tablet screen. “You saw Zeke. Cyrus has used Riordan’s DNA several times to create his bodyguards. Your brother has astonishing strength and endurance.”

Zeke didn’t look too impressive against Jaydan earlier. Her protector had handled him with ease. Not that she didn’t consider her brother exceptional - it was just that no one could match Jaydan Rose and his strength.

“So, why does Cyrus clone people?”

Keegan squinted her eyes in thought. “Cyrus has a very specific idea of the perfect world.
