Part 5

"Are you sure about this?" Yelena asked.

Diana shrugged. She sat at her desk toying with a Rolodex card system and putting the card for Paris back in its place. She hadn't missed Orion sneaking off to the basement before last period, and she hadn't missed that human bitch coming out when school had ended. Obviously Yelena's warning hadn't been enough. Cassidy was supposed to be intrigued to meet Paris, not go running to Orion. Paris should take care of Cassidy before Donatella got here. "When your family's reputation is at stake, hiring an assassin to deal with the problem is not so dramatic after all," Diana answered calmly. "Humans always screw things up."

She couldn't understand why her idiot of a brother would be interested in a human. He knew who their branch of Redferns came from, how important they were, what was in store for him. How could he jeopardise that?

"I guess not," Yelena agreed. "Have you told Orion anything?"

Diana shook her head. "Orion wouldn't tell me about the human he was seeing. He knows this is how I would react."

"So kill the girl and the problem."

Diana smiled. At least someone was on her wavelength. "Orion will get over her. We need to stop this thing before it gets out of hand."
