When I was done there, I went to our security office to kill time until the op. I hadn’t expected to walk in on Izzy and Hudson in his office, with my sister’s legs wrapped around his waist as they made out.

I kept forgetting they were married.

“Door shut and locked when you do this shit, remember?” I reached for the door handle to give them privacy, but Hudson let my sister’s feet hit the ground, and they both faced me.

“You’re early,” Hudson said, quickly fastening his belt that’d been hanging undone.

“Yeah, I can tell you weren’t expecting me.”

We’d been friends since we were sixteen, so it would take some getting used to seeing him and my little sister make out.

“I swear,” was all I said, shaking my head. “Are you two ready so we can review the plans again?” We’d changed the objective tonight, so there was relatively low risk, which was why Izzy was joining us. “It’s not like we don’t have a job to do.”

Izzy mock-saluted me, adding a cocky, “Sir, yes, sir,” as she sidestepped Hudson and started my way. She was already decked out in her rave wear—a sparkly pink tank top and silver pants. So help me if she put anything like that in my office for me to change into. Seeing the look on my face, she dropped the attitude. “You okay?”

I couldn’t answer that without lying, so I kept my mouth shut, nodded, and exfil’ed the hell outta there.

She rolled her eyes. “Just take them.”

“Trust me, I don’t need them to blend in.” I tugged at the brim of my hat, which was all I had to shield my face since I couldn’t wear a mask. I figured the crowd and strobe lights would work to my advantage, allowing me to maneuver around unnoticed as well.

“Do you really think I’m suggesting these will help the both of you not look so old so you can fit in?” Izzy chuckled, and I wasn’t amused. She loved to throw our decade age difference in my face.

Staring back and forth between Hudson and myself as we stood by our SUV parked in an alley down the street from the rave, she attempted to thrust the bundle of multicolored sticks at my chest again.

Relentless woman.

Hudson snatched them from her. Taking one for the team, huh? I side-eyed him. “You can never say no to her.”

He shrugged, fighting a smirk. Yeah, I was right.

“If you wind up going down any dark hallways, which there are⁠—”
