Kynan closes the door before turning to me Without any pretense or polite consideration, he says, “Nohy don’t you tell me why you’re really here?”

“I’m here about the job,” I say stubbornly

“You’re here about Jerico,” he counters

“Fine,” I snap, the stress and pain causing me to be a bit cranky “I want to knohy he did what he did”

“And what exactly did he do?” Kynan asks as he crosses his arainst the door

“You knohat he did,” I tell him “I saw the look on your face when you spotted me out in the lobby You know”

Kynan shrugs “You’re hurt I get it But explain to me exactly what he did to cause that”

“He… he…” I stunefarious at all by his laid-back attitude But then I getsex To show my brother”

“But he changed his mind,” Kynan says smoothly

I roll my eyes “Just stop it Don’t try to defend hi and deceitful—”

“And you’re very hurt and pissed off,” Kynan interjects “You want answers”

The air in s whooshes out, and I deflate My eyes drop to the floor—glea maple hardwoods—and I whisper, “I want answers”

Next thing I know, Kynan has pushed off the door and pulls a rolling chair out from the table “Sit I’ll tell you why he did it”

“You will?” I ask as my eyes snap to his

He nods as I sit down, taking the seat besideyou only because I know Jerico wanted you to know the entire story before he left, but he wanted to give you some space so you could calm down a bit”

“So he went to the Congo?” I ask, suddenly reo?”

“Fa Africa is a mess”

I cock an eyebrow at hi peace to the country?”
