"You two need to learn how to get along and work together. Especially since you are going on this mission together," my mom says.

As I look at her, I notice how drained she looks. She has bags under her eyes, and I notice her jaw is more prominent, making me think she lost weight.

"You really do," Emma claims. "It's ridiculous that you guys always argue."

"It's not just me-"

"Stop," Leo says, cutting Alexander off.

I let out an annoyed sigh and look at Alexander who looks frustrated and is clenching his fist.

"Now, you both will be in Russia for the weekend. You and Alexander will go to the club and get that location. The next day you will get on a plane and come back here. I want you guys to be quick and get out of Russia as soon as you can."

"Anything else?" I ask in an annoyed tone.

"Pack your bags."

I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around my body at the same time I hear my phone ring.

I pick up the phone and put it to my ear as I walk back into the room. "Hello?" I ask, not knowing who it is.

I didn't look at the caller ID, so I had no clue who was calling.

"Hello, gorgeous," I hear Cameron say from the other side of the phone.

I feel my lips lift in a small smile. "Hey. What's up? I am kind of in a rush."

Alexander and I have a flight to get on to go to Russia soon and I want to take care of some last-minute things before heading out.

Like showering so I don’t smell bad on the plane.

I did most of my packing yesterday which wasn't a lot because I just packed some clothes for when I go to sleep and then clothes for the mission. My dad also said he wanted Alexander and me to take a bag of weapons in case things get out of hand, which they won't.

"Oh, should I call you back? I just wanted to talk to you. I'm not doing anything, and everyone is out so I wanted to talk to you."

"No, we can talk. I'll just multitask," I chuckle.

"What are you doing right now?" he asks.

"Packing."

"For what?"

"I have a family trip I have to go on for a couple of days," I lie.

"Sounds fun. Where are you guys going?"

"America. My dad has a business meeting there, so he decided to take us along. It's been a while since we all had family time," I lie.

Except I will be with the dickwad himself.

I haven't seen him since the night my father told us that he wanted us to go on this mission, which was a day ago.
