We are a team.

“Let me get this straight,” Alik says, looking only at me. I think he’d rather forget the fact that Tristan Thomas even exists. “Our dad is a billionaire terrorist. Our mom is secretly working for the United States government in order to bring down Dad. Dimitri has joined a terrorist group. And you have decided to help bring Dad down by working with this guy.”

This guy.

Alik won’t even mention Tristan’s name.

“I promise that once you get to know him, you will like him. He’s my bodyguard,” I say. “He’s saved my life more than once. And he’s been training me. I can fight now.”

Alik smirks. “I bet you still can’t take me on, little sis.”

“I don’t know,” I say, shrugging. “Maybe I can. He’s been teaching me how to use my small size against somebody larger.”

“I hope that’s all he’s been teaching you how to do,” Alik says, now looking at Tristan.

“Tristan isn’t like that,” I say, feeling the need to defend Tristan. “He’s a good guy. You should give him a chance.”

Alik doesn’t look happy. “Kat, I can never say no to you. I’ll give him a chance, but if I find out he’s done anything to…”

“You won’t,” I say. “Because Tristan is a gentleman.”

“Fine,” he says.

“I need to find your mom,” Tristan says to me. “I’m worried. I need to get back to campus and find out where the email was sent from. I’ll see if it really was her or your dad.”

“I don’t think Dad would hurt her,” I say, thinking about how he defended me when he came to America. He killed Kazimir for me. “Dad loves her.”

“You feel that way after everything you’ve seen?” Tristan asks. “Your dad killed somebody.”

“But he did it to protect me,” I say.

“He did it because Kazimir went rogue. It was just convenient that he happened to be here,” Tristan says. “Your father cannot be trusted.”

“I’m not saying I trust him,” I say. “I’m just saying I don’t think he would kill my mum. They’ve been married twenty three years. They’ve been through a lot together. I know that he wouldn’t do it.”

“Let’s just find her,” Alik says, before Tristan can respond. “I don’t agree with you, but in the off chance that you are right and my father has done something to her, I want to know so I can save her.”

“We,” I say, bumping him with my elbow. “We’re a team, Alik.”

“No. You are my little sister and you are going to stay out of this. As far away as humanly possible,” Alik says, looking at Tristan. “Come on, man. If you care anything about my little sister, you would know that if this is all true, it’s dangerous. I don’t want her involved.”

Tristan looks at me. “He’s right.”

“No way,” I say, putting my foot down hard on the floor. “I’ve trained for this. Now suddenly my big brother is here and you don’t need me anymore?”

“I never wanted to use you in the first place,” Tristan says.
