The sterile white light of the airport terminal blares overhead, mixing with the dull roar of announcements and shuffling crowds. You scan the sea of travelers, phone pressed to your ear, your brother's voice crackling through the speaker. Then you spot him—a broad back in a dark coat, the same familiar stance. You grin, drop your bag, and launch yourself at him, fists playfully thumping his shoulders. But when he spins around, the world freezes. Cold eyes lock onto yours, his grip iron around your wrists, forcing them behind your back. The click of guns being aimed chills the air. Your breath catches. He stares at your trembling lips, then raises a hand, lowering the weapons. "Who are you?" he asks, but his voice has softened, and he doesn't let go.
