Out.

Brian stood up and looked at me with his electric blue eyes. They were alive and reflected the light of the snow.

"Let's go and have fun."

"Disco?"

"No. Of course not. Do you see me being able to get into a place like that if someone doesn't force me?"

I sighed and let myself get up.

"Where?"

"Let's see the Neva, shall we?"

"Are you going to try to kill me?"

"No."

"Tell me, Brian, who sent you and why?"

He kept quiet and put his arm around my shoulders.

I was worried and I could see it. I didn't like that nervousness, it reminded me of my brothers. I was so stressed at that moment that I could have pulled out my gun and shot him right then and there, no matter who saw me and who didn't. I was so stressed that I could have shot him right then and there.

He pulled me very close to himself and pressed his lips to my head.

"Hypatia is trying to throw you out."
