“First, stop hovering. Second, you’re acting like I haven’t the foggiest idea what I might be doing. Go back to your corners and let me work.” Yanna opened up the laptop computer Roman had brought with him and entered her password.

The breakfast dishes had been pushed away, and she hadn’t felt this full in—well, she never let herself eat like she did today. And being here with Vicktor and Roman and David, watching them interact…it felt like college again.

It felt like maybe, yes, everything would be okay.

“So you work with computers?” Trish said, coming to sit beside her. Slim—except for her cute little belly—with short brown hair and hazel eyes that seemed to pick up more than Yanna expected, Trish hadn’t even asked last night—just instinctively known that Yanna needed privacy. Some time to sit in the bathtub and…cry.

She couldn’t remember the last time she’d let herself cry.

And, stupid her, she was crying just as much for herself as for Elena. While she knew she should have every thought focused on finding her sister, Yanna couldn’t help but wish with everything inside her, that David loved her. That he’d hijacked a scooter and flagged down a bus and jumped in front of a ninja with a knife because he couldn’t live without her.

But even last night, when she’d all but begged him with her eyes to kiss her, he’d simply done the I’d hate to lose a friend act.

So this morning, when Trish handed her an apron and wire whisk and asked her to stir, she’d decided, fine—let him see what he might be missing. And so what David had laughed.

It was his loss. She made good pancakes.

“Yanna runs an IT department in Khabarovsk,” David answered for her.

She did more than run it. She single-handedly brought the lot of them into the twenty-first century. And she made pancakes.

“Tell me your brilliant plan,” David said, apparently not listening to a word she said about hovering. Then again, when did he ever? Like his comment about God. Thanks, but she wasn’t going to take some good fortune and start proclaiming revival. Even if she did believe there was a God, she’d done just fine on her own.

She didn’t need someone else letting her down.

“Hopefully Kwan still has my cell phone. Even if it is off, the GPS is working. We can use it to track down Kwan, who will lead us to Elena.” She looked at him. “So, you see, this isn’t over—not by a long shot.” She smiled real big at the men in the room. “Brilliant.”

“You do surprise me,” David said, smirking. He glanced at what was left of his pile of pancakes.

“Tracking down Kwan isn’t necessarily going to lead you to Elena,” Roman said.

“How do you even know this guy was a member of the Serpents?” Vicktor asked, turning away from the window. “Maybe he was just a human trafficker.”

“His ring,” David said. “All the major players in the Serpents are given a ring with a snake. Kwan had one on his middle finger.
