THIRTEEN

Braxton

Trouble whimpers at my side, clearly distraught by what he sees. Shades of our Middle East missions. I know he thinks it too. Dogs are more intuitive, emotionally intelligent, and complex than we give them credit for. Sometimes I feel like our connection allows me to read his mind. And he mine.

Sometimes I feel closer to Trouble than I do my own twin.

I turn my head to watch him, steely gaze sweeping the neighborhood, passing over the carnage with the same deceptive indifference he exhibits while driving. Is it deceptive? It’s like there’s a simple switch on his heart that allows him to disassociate whenever it’s convenient for him.

But then, around Asha, it becomes easy to feel once again. I wish I was more like that instead of this broken soldier. I envy his tenderness when it’s needed. I feel that my own ability was stolen, if indeed I ever had the capacity. With Asha, I think I have some softness still inside, but perhaps there’s still something in the way, something that threatens to spoil the budding connection between us.

“I have to call this in,” Max announces. He turns to Orson. “Run back, grab your computer. I want a bird’s-eye view of this place. And be careful if this is the same thing as before…”

“The Blood Mages,” Orson says with a knowing nod.

“Yes,” Max says, lowering his voice. “If you see anyone, run like your life depends on it.”

“Sure thing,” says Orson before bounding back down the trail like some fucking blond Easter bunny. Something is wrong with that boy.

Max shoots me a look that says watch over Asha, before pulling his phone out and venturing into the woods to make his call. It’s funny. The guy has always been a born leader, but also always seemed to hate working with other people. He acts like every move anyone makes is his responsibility, which, I guess, it is, but I’ve never worked with anyone like him before. My old leaders either left me alone or ordered me to do horrible things.

Which makes Max obviously the better leader, I guess.

When Max disappears from view, I draw my attention away from him. Like Trouble, I’m on high-alert, looking for any sign of danger. My gun sling is around my shoulder, ready to be pulled into a shooting position when needed. If another fucking Blood Mage tries to screw with my mind like last time, I’ll kill him before he can succeed.

Asha, Trouble, and I stand in the middle of the street, surrounded by dead bodies, the roar of near and distant fires all around us. Trouble upturns his head, looking at Asha with concern, and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Despite her features frozen in a blank thousand-yard stare, he can sense as well as I can that something isn’t right inside Asha’s mind.

While I wrestle with the decision whether or not to say something, Asha starts to shiver and makes the choice for me.
