She had such a big heart and was so thoughtful when it came to others. She’d masqueraded as a hardened woman for a while, and her old self had started to take over once more. I was glad that I had put my decision to die on hold. I would have missed out on days like these where we could eat cake and share steamy kisses that were anything but appropriate for a public setting.

Introduction
Through books we come into contact with everything important that has happened in the past, analyzing also current events and putting our thoughts together to predict the future. The book is a window to the world, acquiring valuable knowledge and sparking our vivid imagination. It is a means of entertainment and is generally seen as a best friend, or as a slave that carries together all valuable information for us. The book is a friend who stays together without demands, a friend you call upon at every moment and abandon when you want.
It accompanies us in the hours of boredom and loneliness, while at the same time it entertains us. In general, a book does not ask anything from us, while it waits patiently on a dusty shelf to give us its information, to get us out of dead ends and to travel us to magical worlds.
This may be the travel mission of our books. Abstract narration, weird or unconscious thoughts difficult to be understood, but always genuine and full of life experiences, these are stories of life that can’t be overlooked easily.
This may be the start of something amazing.
Chapter One
I jogged at a moderate speed while Micah worked the barbell next to me and Colton was watching an X Files episode on my tablet. Though I hadn’t made the cut, Scott said I could continue using the gym at the precinct. I wasn’t particularly interested in working out, but Micah couldn’t function without his daily routine anymore, so I would accompany him.
After what happened the last time I snooped around, I couldn’t try and pry into Scott’s paperwork. The whole point of getting on the MITF was for Micah to gather intel, and we hadn’t gotten squat. Once, he smuggled me into the locker room in bat form so I could eavesdrop, but all I got was talk about their kids, baseball scores, or didn’t talk at all.
I looked over at my brother and noticed that he’d added more weights. There wasn’t anyone else in the gym, but I was worried someone would walk in and see how much he was benching. He was already up to eight hundred and probably counting. I got that he wanted to see his limits, but he seemed so tense.
“What’s eatin’ you?” I asked.
“Come again?” He pressed his mouth into a thin line as he brought the bar to his chest then lifted it back up.
“You’re pumping some serious iron there. Something on your mind?”
He grunted then set the bar on the rack before sitting up. He’d barely broken a sweat, and he wasn’t even breathing hard. It was like he’d been lifting our little brother. I, on the other hand, could barely bench twice my body weight. I was getting weaker while at the same time I was getting normal. I wasn’t sick or abnormally strong.
“Mona and I had a fight.”
That caught my attention. I could count on one hand how many times those two had fought, and it wasn’t much. Micah was a people pleaser, or at least he used to be, so he lived to make Mona happy. She could have used this to her advantage, but she never did. That was why they were so great together.
“What about? I can’t imagine you doing anything to make her mad.”
“I didn’t do anything. I withheld information. It has to do with the whole Noah thing.”
I cringed. If anything were to make Mona mad, it would probably be that.
“How the hell did that come up?”
He clenched his jaw then lay back down and began doing more reps. This time he was doing them faster, and I decided to wait until he was ready to talk. In the past, pushing him to open up had only resulted in him shutting people out.
Finally, he set the bar back down and wiped his face with his towel before resting his hands on his knees.
“We ran into him at the movies. I pretended not to see him, but you know him. He’s too friendly for his own good. He wanted to know what I was up to and how I’ve been. Of course, I couldn’t not introduce Mona.” His expression became pained. “He has a boyfriend.”
“Oh.” I thought carefully about what I would say next. “That’s good for him.”
“Yeah. Until his boyfriend suggested we all sit together.”
“Eesh. How did that go?”
“I was tense the entire time. Hell, I couldn’t even tell you what the movie was about. Afterwards, we got in the car, and Mona asked what was up with me. I tried to blow it off as nothing, but you know her. She wouldn’t let it go. I told her everything.”
