LEXIE hadn’t talked to Tori since yesterday’s mealtime fiasco. She knew she needed to apologize, but convincing Tori to listen to her was more important. She shoved her homework into her backpack with an apple and a bottle of water. If it were anyone else, she might worry that Tori was too upset with her to come over tonight. But Lexie had class on Monday nights and Tori babysat. That was the deal. They’d lived together raising Ben long enough to do what needed to be done regardless of whether they were happy with each other.

So when Tori walked in at the usual time, Lexie didn’t even let her take off her coat before she thrust a sheaf of papers at her sister’s face. “Read these,” she demanded.

Tori ignored the papers while she took off her boots. “Geez, Lex, let me get my coat off, will ya?”

“I told you he was trouble, didn’t I?” Lexie continued. “I knew it. But no, you wouldn’t believe me.” She rattled the papers at Tori’s head. “But now I’ve got proof! Read these and promise me you’ll stay away from him, Tor.”

“I’m not going to be able to read them if you give me a paper cut on my cornea.”

Lexie backed up a step and waited for her sister to hang up her coat. She didn’t know much about Kane Curtis as a man except that something about him frightened her, had since she was a little girl. She could feel things about people. She couldn’t explain it, but sometimes she seemed to know things about them that she couldn’t know.

She’d spent all yesterday afternoon on the Internet researching Kane Curtis the businessman. She printed all of it so she could prove to Tori that it wasn’t just a feeling. Kane was not a good man. Her sister believed the best about people, and normally Lexie found that to be an endearing quality. But in this case, it was dangerous.

Tori rolled her eyes before she finally took the papers. She scanned the first page and put her hand on her hip. “Gosh, Lex, you hate our father. Not exactly breaking news. Doesn’t mean I have to.” She headed for the kitchen.

Lexie took her sister’s arm and pushed her into a chair in front of a cup of hot chocolate. “Drink and read.” She knew how much Tori loved the way Lexie made hot chocolate, so she’d made Tori a mug that was extra rich with extra marshmallows.

Tori heaved a dramatic sigh and read the first page. “Curtis Enterprises Investigated by SEC. They aren’t the only ones.” She flipped the page face down on the wooden table and took a sip of her cocoa.

“Whistleblower at Curtis Enterprises Murdered,” she read. She pointed a glare at Lexie. “Sorry, but murders are losing their shock value.”

Pretend all you want, little sis, but that one hit you. I can see it in your face. Lexie waited for Tori to read the next one, one of the worst of the stories she’d found.
