The small Albanian girl bit her lip. This wasn't like her home country, she had to remind herself, or any of the war-torn countries surrounding it. The police in America were fair and not corrupt. They had rules. But still her hands twisted in her lap, shredding and reshredding the self-repairing cloth of her gloves. "That boy," she said, trying to focus on something else. "He was the boy who was fighting with Julian in Malibu."
Valentines day is cut short by the sudden appearance of Julian's old friend and new nemesis, Simon Gutierrez, in Salem Center.
Part 5 of the Wayward Sons arc.
