“Tiago?” I lowered my voice as I was headed for the gates.

“Ti-”

I could barely finish my sentence as a hand had already covered my mouth. “Not so loud!” Tiago whispered in my ear as he pulled me to the back.

Seconds later, he finally removed his hand from my lips. I created a distance between us and looked at his face. “T-Tiago.” I smiled awkwardly, still unsure about why he would force me out of my house in the middle of the night.

If anything, he seemed even worse than he did before. I shamelessly observed the bags and dark circles around his eyes. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days. What did he even want from me?

“S-so, I’m leaving tomorrow,” Tiago spoke after a silence. I blinked my eyes a few times, unsure of what to do. “Yes, I know.”

“So why did you want to see me?” I asked, “Do you want me to get Ma-”

“No!”

I flinched at Tiago’s cold tone. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to yell at you…not again.” He took a breath. That’s right. This wasn’t the first time.

I carefully moved my hand to Tiago’s check and looked into his eyes, showing him he could trust me. “It’s okay. I’m here to help.” I nodded desperately.

“I know, and I trust you-that’s why I came to you,” Tiago said.

“Do you want to tell me something?”

Tiago’s eyes turned big as he shook his head. “Is Marvin inside?” He asked in a hurry.

“Yes.”

“Is he alone?”

“No. He’s with Lucas and Panther-”

Tiago stepped back, lowering his head. “He can’t be here. He can’t be here!” He paced back and forth. He slammed his fist against his forehead and released a frustrated sigh. “This was a bad idea. What am I doing?” He muttered. “He’s going to hurt me.”

“Tiago, who can’t be here?” I pushed for answers. “Is it about Marvin?”

“No.”

“Lucas?”

“No.”

“

Tiago stopped in his steps and shot me an angry look. “It’s Victor, isn’t it?” I asked. “Why can’t you just give me a name and tell me what this is about?”

I waited for an answer. “I-I remember you telling me something about you doing something Marvin can never know?”

“Is someone in the house threatening you?”
