"I'm only going to ask you one more time." I say firmly. "Who are you and what do you want with me?" He frowns, and I tense, waiting for a blow, but none comes. I really need to shut my big mouth. "Apparently, I'm not nearly as famous as I thought I'd be. The name's Alix. Alix Black." My mouth drops open. The Alix Black? World-famous thief Alix Black? "Yep, and you're going to help me," he replies with a smirk. "What?" I protest. "Relax, Fireball. You're much too pretty to kill. And you're wrong about some things. I am a man of my word. I will offer you a deal. We're both after the information about this locket. I'll help you get the information and find your parents, and in return, you keep my identity a secret." I think about it.
