“Only someone annoyingly rich would refuse to answer it,” she retorts.

I’m not going to tell her. It’s enough that the computer and all of her new outfits went on a credit card with no limit, that I can pay off without blinking, in a heartbeat.

I don’t answer.

Instead, I turn the computer on and plug it in. Connected to my secure Wi-Fi, I put the USB drive in.

The screen goes black.

“Fuck,” Gia mutters behind me. “Did it come pre-loaded with a virus?”

“Maybe.” It’s a good thing this computer isn’t connected to any of the usual servers, and just the Wi-Fi that’s localized to the house.

The screen flickers.

It’s security footage.

Gia and I both lean in.

The footage is grainy, but we can see. It looks like it’s inside a bar of some kind. No, a pub. The ceiling is low, the room is dark, and it looks exactly like many of the pubs I’ve been in across the British Isles.

It’s definitely a cell phone video. The video jostles around, and I can see that whoever is holding the camera is trying to do so without showing their hand.

Interesting.

The camera is blurry for a minute before finally focusing on something.

A person.

Two people.

A man and a woman, sitting together at a table. The man reaches forward, holding the woman’s hand…

The camera finally focuses.

Next to me, Gia sucks in a breath.

I know why.

The man in the video, looking happier than I’ve ever seen him look in his entire life?

It’s my brother.

Marco.

Sal and I stare at the computer screen for a solid ten seconds before either one of us speaks. The video cuts out right after Marco and the unidentified Irish woman hold hands, so when we finally do speak again, it’s to the blank computer screen that’s reflecting our shocked expressions.

“I told you he wasn’t dead.”

I throw up my hands and walk away. “Seriously Sal? That’s what you’re getting out of this?”

He shrugs. “I’m just saying.”

“You’re saying nothing! That’s not the point! Where the hell is he? Why is he holding hands with that woman? And who the fuck is she?”
