Syn

I was mildly upset that Queen didn't have better security at her office. I was easily able to pick the lock and walk into her office late last night. Hades was right about the map being where he said it was but I didn't know it would be so helpful.

I sat up on the chair and moved the golden map around the path I was planning to take. The more I studied it, the more I could envision it in my mind and teleport to it. I'd still have to deal with the guards and the barrier but at least I wouldn't have to walk through Heaven?

A loud burp distracted me from the map and I glanced over at Bezy who was on his third milkshake. He tossed it into the trash and the bed freaked when he lazily laid back down on it.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Me good," he said with a large grin as he sat back up.

I didn't know why he insisted on coming when he was doing nothing. I couldn't imagine how bored he was just being stuck in this hotel room and watching TV. I'd take him with me but I needed to be undercover. Something that seemed impossible for him.

A knock at the door sounded and Bezy practically ran to it and held it wide open. I shook my head in disappointment as he welcomed our guest and let out an annoyed groan.

I spent the last day or so teaching him not to open the door without asking who it was but it wasn't working. Every time I thought he understood it, a housekeeper would come and he'd immediately open it and greet them.

"Cay!" Bezy yelled as he lifted him from the floor and pulled him into the room.

"Cain. It's Cain," he groaned as Bezy gave him a tight hug. When he set him on the ground Cain fell to the floor with heavy breaths. "I sorry." Bezy helped him up from the floor and pat his back to comfort him but Cain started coughing.

"Bezy! I'm good stop slapping me," he begged.

With a loud laugh, Bezy moved away from him and went back to his bed. Cain looked over to me in pain as he adjusted the strap of his duffle bag and rubbed the shoulder that Bezy had hit.

He set the bag down on the table I was sitting at and he slumped down in a chair opposite to me. "So you're really doing this?" He asked.

"I am."

"Why?" He questioned curiously.

"I'd like to remember the woman I married," I answered obviously.

"Well, I hope you know I'm coming with you," he added.

"No. You're not."

"Yes, I am," he argued.

"Why?"

"Queen would die if you died again. I'm going to make sure nothing happens to you," he admitted.

"Okay, but what's the real reason?" I asked dryly.

"I want an apple from the garden," he said with a shrug.

"How do you plan on getting into the garden?" I asked.

"Well Hades told me that you're somehow getting in...so I was thinking you can just grab one for me too."

"Why do you want one?" I asked.

"That's none of your business."

"It is my business if you'd like me to get you one," I countered.

"Ughh, since you want to be so nosey...I'd like to find someone."

"Who?"

"My brother."

"Why?"

"Why so many questions, Syn? I just need to find my brother for personal reasons."

I sighed and nodded at his cage response and looked back at the map. "Fine."

"I brought the weapons, so I'm ready when you are," he said.

"Do they work?"

"Well we'll find out soon, won't we?" He laughed.

"I guess so," I began. "How is Queen?"

"She's okay, I suppose. She visited Dimitri in prison earlier today."

Surprise dug its claws into my body and I looked at Cain in shock. "Are you fucking serious?!"

"Wow," Cain said with a laugh as he held his hands up in defense. "Don't shoot the messenger. But yes, she went to see him after some things we found out yesterday."

"What did you find out?"

"I think I should tell you after we go to the garden. Queen is fine, just concerned for him."

"Why the hell would she be-"

"I'll explain later," he interrupted as he stood up. He looked around the room and paused when his eyes fell on Bezy. "What are you reading there, buddy?"

I looked around Cain to see what he was talking about and I rolled my eyes when I saw Queen's novel in his hands. "Why the hell would you bring this with you?"

"Funny," he said with a loud rumble of laughter.

"It's upside down," I pointed out.

"No," he argued.

Cain laughed out loud and I shook my head and sat back in defeat. "You realize this will be a long trip, right?" Cain asked.

"I'm aware." Especially if I was stuck with these two.

"Well, let's get on with it then."
