Io used to say that we'd be either rotting in an orphanage or starving in the streets if we weren't in the syndicate. He said no one would want us -- just two kids without birthright or pennies or talent. He said we could be dead right now or even worse -- and that we're really really lucky to find ourselves in the syndicate. He used to burn things just because he could.
We're better off this way, he promised.
And I had to believe him. He's my brother.
And I had to believe him. He's my brother.
He believed that the syndicate was law,
the boss the king,
the money was god.
But I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. And it's not in seeing backyard black cats or in the sidewalk cracks spelling out the future -- maybe I already knew because he'd call me bitch, fingers curling in my hair, down to the crescent between collarbones, and I had never pulled the trigger in that year, was never the person who believed in syndicate religion that they wanted.
