“The Mountains?” Helel asked me to be double sure he heard me correctly.

“Yeah! The mountains that everybody is talking about,” I said, and he kept staring at my face in silence.

“Not everybody, only Zane. He is the only one who decid- ed the entire trip with Mr. Mykel. None of the other brothers agreed on it.

I rolled my eyes at his desperate need to not sound needy.
