Arashi felt for the knife stabbed into his forearm and yanked it out. The blood stained his shirt. “Looks like I finished faster than you did.”She snorted then released Benicio, stepping back. "Check the desk. There should be a flash drive there."Arashi moved to the desk. He pulled open the drawers, the wood groaning. He found a bunch of papers and a Mac laptop, but no drive. "Where is it?" he asked.Benicio's eyes darted to Arashi. Recognition flickered across his face. "You're him. The boy.

The smell of gasoline tickled Arashi's nostrils. Gasoline and … something else. Blood. Old blood, dried into the cracks.The biggest shock, however, wss the man standing beside him. Cassian. He was younger, in his thirties, maybe. Standing next to the man, Arashi could have believed that he was staring into a mirror. They had the same dark hair, the same sharp jaw, the same eyes Arashi saw in the mirror every morning."Watch," Cassian said.Arashi tried to speak. His mouth didn't work.
