up? Everything’s not always about money.”
    “Oh, is it now?”
    Ignoring Andrew, she glanced down at her watch as she made a beeline for the bath. “I need to shower before we head out.”
    “We’ve only got thirty minutes,” he shouted at her back.
    “I can tell time,” she retorted. “And if you weren’t such an ass, maybe you could find a girlfriend of your own.”
    As Antonia retreated down the hall, she heard him chuckle and mumble something to himself.
    She loved her twin brother deeply. He was the only family she knew on this Earth because their parents did not want to be known for some reason. However, she didn’t know how much longer she could stand living with him.

CHAPTER FIVE
    A ntonia couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt her veins pulsing frantically against her skin. She was used to quick jobs that resulted in fast money where she knew exactly what to do. There was no room for failure or hesitation. Besides, when was the last time she or Andrew had ever botched a job? Never.
    She could see her brother’s back as he clutched a pole in the middle of the bus about ten feet in front of her. He stood between an elderly gentlemen and a woman who was holding on tightly to her rolling luggage.
    The city bus rocked and jostled all of its passengers as it progressed at what seemed to be a snail’s pace toward the next stop.
    Antonia repositioned the strap of the backpack on her shoulder and pulled her hoodie over her head. The bus came to a screeching halt and her body moved forward then back as the driver parked the vehicle curbside.
    She rose immediately with the crowd, ready to get lost in the herd of bodies on the street.
    During the night, the city district became the place to be for bar hopping or touring the various eateries along the three-mile strip. With the university only fifteen miles away, this area was also a prime location for college students to celebrate the nightlife.
    One would think their liaison would have picked a more desolate place for them to make the drop, but they were given opposite instructions. She partly understood why. No one would be paying attention to two college students in their own environment. Antonia and Andrew weren’t strangers to the strip, in fact, they fit in quite nicely with the backdrop and demographic of the area.
    As Antonia looked out of the windows of the bus on her way to the exit, she could already see the rowdy and drunken students prowling around in the streets.
    The lingering thunderstorm and pending rain also served as an effective distraction to unknowing bystanders. Of course, she didn’t have the luxury of packing an umbrella either. The hoodie she wore would protect her recently styled hair from the rain. It had taken her an hour to curl it and make it look halfway decent for the date with William, and she expected it to remain presentable for another few days. Between finishing up her last year of technical college during the daytime and busing tables at night, she barely had any time to pamper herself at all.
    Having no time was really a blessing in disguise. Ever since she’d started taking a full load of classes again once the semester began to complete her degree sooner rather than later, she’d managed to save up a substantial amount of cash. But what was substantial to her was probably not substantial to anyone else, especially her brother. He’d most likely blow the two thousand dollars she had in a savings account in a day on frivolous things, like the latest gadget. They had shared the same womb but they were complete opposites. Like night and day.
    The one thing that she had decided was that this was the last time she would do something this risky with her brother. It had to stop. Plus, they were doing perfectly fine making ends meet legitimately for just the two of them. If she had to cut the ties from her twin brother, she would. This was not the life she wanted. Not anymore…
    As Antonia exited the bus, the crowd
