The nurse blinked in surprise and turned to Keira. "Wait, that crime boss is after you?"

Keira nodded.

The nurse frowned. "That guy is seriously weird."

Keira felt the corner of her mouth twitch. A phrase she’d seen online popped into her head—never feel inferior for being normal when you’re surrounded by the abnormal.

She suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and glanced at the nurse, then at the soldier standing behind her.

The soldier might’ve been standing there quietly, but he was listening. Keira knew that as casual as this conversation seemed, the moment her story didn’t match Lewis’s, she’d be staring down the barrel of a loaded gun.

She was on high alert.

The nurse gave her another once-over. "Where are you and Solomon from?"

"Crera."

That wasn’t something they could fake. Habits, speech patterns—those were ingrained. She and Lewis had agreed: mix in just enough truth to make the lies believable.

The nurse hesitated at the answer, then asked, "Then why didn’t you just go home? Crera would’ve protected you. Everyone knows how tough they are about this kind of thing."

Keira let out a bitter laugh. "We didn’t get the chance. We didn’t even have time to call for help. They took our phones, everything. The only thing we could do was escape on a tiny boat. Solomon even got shot in the leg. Where is he? How is he doing?"

The nurse sighed. "He lost a lot of blood, but we gave him a transfusion. Oh, by the way, I heard you and him grew up together? Childhood sweethearts?"

Keira froze.

That wasn’t part of the story she and Lewis had agreed on. They were supposed to be college friends.

Was the nurse testing her?

Keira shook her head. "We were classmates. I mean, we probably heard of each other growing up—small town, same social circles. Our parents were both teachers at the same school, and teachers love to compare their kids’ grades..."

The nurse’s face lit up. "Oh, I get that! My mom’s a teacher too!"
