tell my brother.” I made a face. “He’s a hothead , but he’s trustworthy. He won’t tell anyone. Not even our dad.”
    “No.” Special Agent Waldron shook his head. “If we go forward with this, you can’t tell anyone.”
    “I can’t just leave and not tell him.” My heart stilled. “It would kill him. I’m all he has.”
    “That’s what we’re counting on.” He stared at me with blank eyes. “You cannot tell him.”
    “You don’t understand. It’s always been us. We don’t have a mother, our father doesn’t care about us. And Zane, well, he’s already closed off. I can’t just leave and not have him know. He won’t stop searching for me.”
    “Then you’ll die.” He nodded and took out a pad. “That’s probably the better idea anyway.”
    “Die?” I shrunk back and shivered. “I don’t think Braydon knows that I heard anything. Do you think they’re going to put a hit out on me?”
    “I don’t mean that Sanchez is going to kill you.” He looked up at me and sighed. “I mean we’ll fake your death. It should motivate your brother to help us.”
    “What do you mean?”
    “I mean , he’s in that crowd as well. He knows Braydon, Angelique, and the others. I’ll approach him at the funeral and see if he can help me.”
    “I don’t want him involved.” I shook my head. “If you need help, I can do it.”
    “No.” He shook his head vehemently. “They’ll suspect you too easily. We need someone else.”
    “I don’t want Zane involved in this.” I stood up. “Sorry, but I’m not interested in helping anymore.”
    “Stop.” His voice was commanding, and I paused as I walked to the door. “It’s not safe for you or anyone else. We need to get these guys, Noah. I know that you know how dangerous they are. That’s why you came to us.”
    “I can’t just disappear , though.”
    “It won’t be forever.” He sighed. “We’ll have you disappear in a small town I know. Stay low and you’ll be safe. Unless you change your mind about witness protection.”
    “No, I’m not going forever.” I bit my lip. “I don’t understand why you can’t call Zane and ask him to come in now. We can tell him the plan. He can still help us.”
    “No.” He shook his head. “I can’t risk him slipping up. If he thinks you ’re dead, and he thinks Braydon is responsible, he’ll do more. He’ll go looking for the truth. We need that.”
    “You don’t know what he’ll do.”
    “We’re pretty sure.” He smiled at me, tight-lipped, and I looked at the folders on his desk. I saw one with my name and underneath it I saw a label that said “Zane Beaumont.” I shivered as I realized that they must have been investigating both of us.
    “So what’s in the files?” I nodded towards his desk with a frown.
    “Everything that exists outside of your minds.” He shrugged. “I like to know who I’m dealing with.”
    “That explains the file about me, but not about Zane.”
    “What can I say? I had a feeling he was going to be helpful.”
    “I don’t want to go away without telling my brother.” I shook my head. “I can’t that to him. I can’t involve him in something this deep without him knowing the truth.”
    “You don’t have a choice , Noah. Sometimes when you love someone, the best thing you can do is keep them in the dark. Loving someone doesn’t always mean telling them everything. It means knowing when it’s best to keep your mouth shut and when it’s best to open it. And this is the time to keep it shut—that is, if you love your brother as much as you say you do.”
     
    “I still want to know about Mom.” Zane cleared his throat. “I’m not going to push it right now, but I still want to know.” His voice was light.
    “You’ve changed.” I cocked my head and studied him. “You’re calmer than you were before. I was expecting you to put me in a headlock to get an answer.”
    “That’s coming if you don’t give me an answer tomorrow.” He
