“Polynesians?” Nikki asked.
Rami nodded.
“I can go in.”
“Why you?” Seth asked.
“I can play lost little Hawaiian girl. If they’re big and stupid, they’ll fall for it.”
He weighed the idea.
“And, if they don’t, they will at least be distracted enough for you all to come in.”
“Okay. Do it.”
She took off some of her gear, handing it over to Kap, standing beside her. Seth glanced at Ryan and Maya, who watched from a few feet away. The German Sheppard was antsy since they weren’t letting her go further. Her mission was to find Autumn, a person she knew by scent.
“What the hell?” Rami said, drawing Seth’s attention back to the group.
Nikki was standing there with just her sports bra on.
“Listen, I don’t have time to make you understand this, so I will say heterosexual men always lose their train of thought around boobs. Works every time.” She grabbed her water bottleoff the ground and poured some into her hand before flicking it on her face.
“This is unacceptable,” Rami said, and Nikki laughed.
“Let it go, Rami. She’s right,” Seth said, his temper starting to fray. “We need a distraction. We can’t use Maya because she will lose it if any of those assholes have Autumn’s scent on them.” He turned to Nikki. “Let us all get in position. The rest of TFH is on their way, but since we aren’t sure what’s going on in there, we need to get in there ASAP.”
“Is that what Del said?” Nikki asked.
He didn’t answer because he didn’t ask his boss for permission. He was ready to burn the fucking world down to save Autumn. “Let’s go.”
“So, you are saying you’re my half-brother?” Autumn asked. It was the same shit that Joseph peddled out to everyone. They all believed they had a connection to him, and that’s why they were always ready to die for him.
Peter’s features lit up. “Yes. Although, I do understand that you are above me.”
Good God, theseTrue Believerswere definitely lost souls. She understood that most people who ended up at Joyous Wave were, including her mother. But this…Joseph was a sick son of a bitch. He found these people and told them he had fathered them. Autumn was pretty sure Joseph had been shooting blanks for years. She was involved with a few survivor groups, none of whom had familial connections. All had different fathers. Autumn had paid for the DNA tests to give them peace of mind.
“I wouldn’t say I was above you.”
“You are so much older.”
What an asshole.
“Peter? Do you think I could take a shower?”
He sighed. “I don’t have permission for that.”
Dammit. Peter might be a nut job, but he knew how to follow orders. Peter’s phone buzzed, then he read the message. Fear filled his expression.
“Father wants to see you, and you are still wearing those clothes.”
“Tell you what? Get me a washcloth to clean up my face, and I will blame the clothes on myself. Don’t worry.” She patted his hand.
“Are you sure?”
“I know how to handle Joseph. He’ll understand.”
Peter nodded, then hurried out. He forgot to lock the door, but she figured it didn’t matter. Mainly because he made it back in less than two minutes with a wet washcloth. She cleaned off her face, which was difficult without a mirror, but Peter told her it was fine.
