Kala’s eyes went wide, and she leaned toward her sister. “I think Aunt Grace might know too much.”

Her mom’s eyes rolled. “Oh, child, I know far too much, but this is just me speaking spy.” She shifted her gaze to Tasha. “Was it your old fiancé? The dead one?”

It was Tash’s turn to be surprised. “Uh, yes. He set up a long-term kind of revenge on me. He thought it would look bad if TJ was connected to this guy, and no one turned it off when he died. In this case his organizational skills kind of bit us all in the ass.”

“Then why would they try to kill TJ?” Carys didn’t think the twins’ explanation made sense. “They need information out of him. It would feel like it would be better to kidnap him.”

Kala waved her off. “They already tried to kidnap him.”

“Hey,” Kenzie said. “Classified.”

“Aidan had to examine him after you came back from…wherever it is you went since you couldn’t say.” They’d both known something had gone wrong. TJ had been okay, but Aidan had told her about the cattle prod burns on his body. “It’s not a hard leap to get to he got kidnapped and tortured for information. You see doctors have to put together many puzzles. Patients lie a lot. Out of shame or to hide something, and in this case out of the information being highly classified. I get it. But this happened here. It happened to me and Aidan. We have a right to know. Maybe not legally, but I have walked into enough sketchy shit to know legal isn’t always the family way.”

“How about we wait for the inevitable debrief,” her mother advised.

“Because I don’t usually get invited to debriefs.” It was well known in their family that if you found yourself sitting in the conference room at McKay-Taggart, you were in serious trouble and likely to find yourself in some form of lockdown.

If they got sent to Sanctum and locked in, Aidan would miss his once in a lifetime chance to meet with surgeons who could help his career. He was the youngest invitee to the conference, and it was a huge opportunity for him. She couldn’t let him lose it.

“I’ll make sure you get an invite to this one,” her mother promised.

It would be best to avoid getting involved further. She knew how her uncle handled these things. It could be hours, and she would have to sit there with Tris the whole time. “I think I’ll pass. This seems to not be about me and Aidan, so it’s likely best to stay away. It makes it way easier on you guys.”

Tasha joined her sisters, all of them staring at her with suspicion. “Not what you said mere moments before. I thought you deserved to be in on everything.”

Kala nodded. “She totally did.”

“And then Kenz pointed out all the problems with being in on everything, and here we are,” she said, hoping she sounded confident. She hadn’t exactly mentioned her honeymoon plans beyond they were going to be spending some time in Canada.

Her parents might not like knowing their “honeymoon” was more like a work trip. They didn’t understand the needs of a resident.

She didn’t mind. She was actually looking forward to it, but her parents would say it was one more reason to put the wedding off. One more way they thought she was screwing this up.

She hadn’t needed to screw anything up. Tristan fucked things up for all of them.

Lou looked at her, blinking, likely because she wasn’t used to wearing contacts. She’d insisted on them, though Carys had told Lou her normal glasses looked great with the dress. “She’s hiding something.”

“Ooo, I love a mystery,” Kenzie said with a smile and a clap of her hands.

Sometimes Kenzie’s weird positivity was scarier than Kala’s…well, scariness. “Not hiding anything. I simply don’t want to get involved in something that isn’t my business.”

“Or you want to avoid Tristan since he’s apparently back.” Tasha frowned. “I thought he was in DC meeting with Drake and Taylor. He didn’t call any of you?”

“He didn’t want any of us to know he was going to be skeeving on the wedding,” Kala replied with a shrug. “Which is weird because that’s something you’re supposed to do when you weren’t invited to be an actual part of the vows and shit.” She held off her sister’s admonition. “I’m only being honest. The dude could literally be enjoying his honeymoon right now if he’d wanted to.”

“Oh, I forgot about the honeymoon. Carys has been a little secretive about it,” her mom said. “All she’ll say is it’s a surprise and she’ll send pictures. I’ll be honest. I hoped she was so quiet because Tristan was going to join them.”

“No, he’s not.” She hadn’t considered her mom might think she was keeping a secret. She wasn’t really. More like trying to avoid a minor argument.
