I paused on the stairs between floors long enough to collect my thoughts. When I considered the trouble Aidan could’ve found without anyone to watch him, my insides shriveled and made me sick to my stomach.

“What’s wrong?” Cillian asked, concerned. “Are you going to be sick?”

It was weird that he could read me so well. It was also annoying. “I’m fine.” I forced a smile. “I was just wishing we had more time so all of us could get burgers.”

“Really?” Cillian’s expression didn’t change. “I thought maybe you were thinking about what might’ve happened if those guys hadn’t been the decent sort. I know that’s what I was thinking.”

I swallowed hard. “Well, I wasn’t thinking that.”

“They were fine,” Aidan offered, looking none the worse for wear after his adventure. “I think they liked me.”

“Yeah?” I could see that. “I’m glad. I’m still going to beat the snot out of you when we get home.”

Aidan rolled his eyes. “I was looking for Aisling. I didn’t think it was smart to let her just wander around this place herself. She needs constant supervision. Dad says that. That’s why I thought I’d be saving you a headache if I found her.”

“And instead we wasted time looking for you,” I pointed out. “Aisling has been inside longer. We have no idea where she is.”

“So we should probably find her.”

“We might have already found her if we weren’t looking for you.”

Aidan didn’t back down. “Then let’s find her now.”

“Fine.” I exhaled heavily and glared at my little brother. “You’re a piece of work. You know that, don’t you? Everyone says Aisling is the difficult one, but you’re almost as bad.”

“Aisling is worse,” Braden argued. “She’s so much worse.”

“And she’s on her own in this place,” I snapped. “I don’t care how much she annoys you, I know you can’t be happy about that. She’s little, after all. Do you want someone big taking advantage of her?”

“I … no.” Braden had the grace to be abashed. “She’s a pain in the butt, but she’s our pain in the butt.”

“She is,” I agreed. “And she’s going to make our lives hell if we don’t find her.” I pictured the look on Dad’s face if he ever found out I lost Aisling at a rave. “That is if Dad doesn’t kill us first.”

Braden lost a bit of color at the statement. “Right. We should definitely find her.”

“That’s the plan.”
