And the Clouds Began to Lift

-*-*-

AnnaMika Qin watched the people run through the streets of Manhattan. She always watched them carefully, wondering if one of them was a brother or a sister.

"Anna? You alright?" Landen Jones, her brother, asked.

Anna turned to look at him. He was a relatively tall man, with chestnut hair and chocolate eyes. His Mediterranean complexion was an irony to the fact that neither his mother, nor the man that had fathered all the children were Mediterranean.

"Anna? Would you PLEASE stop looking at me like that? You're scaring me."

"Sorry, Andy."

"It's alright." He told her. Landen hand never made a secret of how much he loved his sister, and she always knew it, although sometimes she knew he loved her as a normal woman and not as a sister.

Anna looked away, squinting her eyes as a look of happiness crossed her Chinese features.

"Come on, Anna. Average will kill us if this mail isn't delivered on time."

"Okay." She replied, turning the bike around. She stopped for a moment to look up. A brilliant blue sky looked back…

Clouds covered the sky overhead, disguising the stars. Max and Kai had spent the day between jobs and Logan's apartment, and even though they rarely slept – they were both tired.

They had failed. Logan had asked them to protect a man who'd been wrongly accused, to get him to Canada. But Lyfucker had shown up, ruining everything.

"Some days, I wonder why we even try." Kai whispered.

"Those are the days that are worth it."

And the clouds began to lift.
