Don’t throw quotes at me.
Especially when they don’t apply.
LARK
Sleep is for the weak.
Plus, I’m in bed. That’s why I haven’t watched the video yet.
LUNA
Good. Sleep well. Good night!
LARK
Night Luna.
Igrab my laptop and power it up, wondering not only how Johan got his hands on the video, but where it’s from.
If they haven’t managed to get into Fabian’s systems yet, it can’t be his security. How else would anyone have surveillance of the compound?
It doesn’t really make sense.
Clicking into my email, my eyebrows shoot up when I realize Lark had totally undersold this. I thought there would be one or two videos, but there’s so much more than that.
I pull up the first video, trying to figure out what I’m looking at.
I think it’s footage from a drone.
Who the hell would be flying drones over the compound that Johan could hack?
Oh, damn.
I wonder if my half-brother is under government surveillance. That Johan has an easier time hacking into a government system than into my brother’s is worrying.
There are hours of footage here. It’ll take forever to go through all of this—a task I amnotlooking forward to.
Since tomorrow is Saturday, I technically have the day off. But let’s be real, I usually work anyway.
I’m not exactly feeling tired right now, so I decide to start going through the videos.
It doesn’t look like much has changed about the compound since I ran. The house and other buildings all look the same.
There do seem to be more men spread out over the compound grounds. It’s hard to say just how many since I only see part of it at a time.
The first video doesn’t reveal much, but I end up hitting pause during the second one when I see my brothers.
They’ve grown up so much since I’ve been gone.
I mean, of course they have. Juan Carlos is twenty-nine, and Matías is thirty.
They were teenagers the last time I saw them.
Juan Carlos is an almost exact duplicate of Papa, with his pitch-black hair and wide shoulders. He looks so much like him it brings tears to my eyes.
I miss my parents so damn much.
Who am I kidding? I miss my brothers nearly as much—they’re just still alive.
