Andy told the guys everything he knew, then hurriedly left the office. He looked like he didn’t want to be in the office any longer than he needed to be, given the reaction we all had when he identified Dr. Moretti. The guys were in deep discussion about a plan for what to do about Dr. Moretti.

Viktor’s phone rang. He answered it, a puzzled look on his face. He looked at me, now on the couch in Adrik’s lap to try to help him remain calm. He ended the call, saying, “someone is here to see you, sestrichka. They’re in the lobby.”

I looked at him, completely confused. “Who is it? Nobody comes to see me.” I felt Adrik’s arms tighten around me.

“He said it was a guy, Tall, blonde hair. He said he knows you.” Viktor said.

“It has to be Max. He’s the only guy, outside of this room, that would know me and know where to find me. Although I don’t know why he would be here, unless he broke up with Tori,” I said.

Misha and Andrei stood up. “We’ll take you down to see him,” Andrei said. This wasn’t going to end well. Neither of them had any love for Max.

Adrik, who was already struggling to keep his cool, let his hatred for Max finally come out as he said, “I don’t want him up here, but I won’t keep you from seeing what he wants.” I tried not to laugh. I turned to look at him. He saw the amused look on my face, which caused him to soften just a bit. “What? That guy is a fu cking mo ron. There. I said it.”

I couldn’t keep it in. I laughed. “I mean, you’re not entirely wrong,” I said, kissing his lips.

On the elevator down to the lobby, I pulled my hands inside my sleeves again. I sighed. “As if this week couldn’t get any weirder.” I leaned back against the wall of the elevator. I felt Andrei’s hand pulling me off the wall so he could wrap his sizeable arm around me. I leaned against his shoulder, thankful for the comfort as I watched the numbers on the elevator descend. Right before we got to the lobby, 1 looked at them both. “Just promise me you won’t ki ll him in front of everyone, because I can almost guarantee there’s going to be some du mb shi t that comes out of his mo uth.”

They both smirked at me. “We’re not savages, spider monkey. He won’t see it coming when it happens,” Andrei said, his mischievous grin across his face.
