"You must control your anger."
"Like fuck I do!" I yell back, "The one time Lee goes on a mission without me and they fucking lose him!"
"He's not dead."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better? He didn't die so he can be taken to a a camp." The garbage can lights on fire, "Which one?"
"Caledonia"
"Fuck." I whisper under my breath.
"It could be worse." Is he really trying to make me feel better?
"IT COULD BE WORSE?" I try to take a breath, "you lost my baby brother."
"He's 13."
"Exactly! He's only thirteen! What if he dies? What if I have to tell my mother another one of her kids is dead?!"
"You realize you are the one of the youngest leader agents right?"
"And yet he would be safer with me!"
"The fire powers probably help."
"Nonetheless I'm 18 and still better than most of your trained full adults."
"Well we have a new agent coming."
This catches my attention, my eyes glance to the file.
"Her name is Cate, she is 20, and a social worker." He explains to me.
"Awfully young to be a social worker."
"When IAAN first started out they could use all the help they could get. She's bringing a kid with her too."
"How old?"
"13. Blue." A replacement. "Let me guess you think we are replacing Liam?"
"Aren't you?"
"We have known about them since long before today."
"Ok."
