 "Mendii!Wake up!Mendii!!"I opened my eyes to find myself back in my own room,sitting straight up in bed with Iro sitting in front of me.
 "What the hell?"I put my hands on my forehead and sighed.It was just another dream.
 "Are you okay?"Iro asked.I nodded sheepishly.
 "Yeah.It was just another one of those dreams."
 "You know he's okay,right?"
 "No,Iro.I don't know that.He's been missing for a month and I don't know why.And you're hiding something from me."
 "What?No I'm not.Why would you think that?"
 "Because you havn't been able to look me straight in the eye since Joskii went missing.You pass off any of my questions to what happened while I was gone.You're hiding something."
 "Oh."
 "What is it?"He started rubbing the back of his neck.His eyes darted in every direction.
 "I can't."
 "Why not?"
 "Because then you might ask for a transfer away from me."
 "What are you talking about?You didn't kill him did you?"
 "I almost did."
I gaped at him.What the hell!You almost what! I thought.The darkness was silent for a moment as i tried fruitlessly to process that.
 "What do you mean?"
 "One day we were hiking the Obtradsii Trail.We were looking for mine flicks."
 "Mine flicks?"
 "Defective mining rods.Anyway,we were checking one rod out and one of Jaro's men came out from behind the bushes.He had a gun.But he didn't hold it up to me,he held it up to Joskii.He wanted Joskii dead.He fired,but Joskii ducked out of the way.He ran up behind him while the guy was reloading and knocked him down.But before he could do anything else,another guy shot out of the woods and grabbed him.I asked them what they wanted and held up my own gun,ready to fire.
   "They said they were here to kill anyone who loved you.Felt any compassion toward you.They said it was by Jaro's orders.That you were the key to some big plan to finally put Jaro on top.That taking everything you have would make you more willing to comply.That the pain of loss would make you an empty shell easy to mold.Then I shot him in the face.I couldn't take hearing anymore crap.But the guy on the ground turned over and shot Joskii in the stomach.I shot him too.Joskii was bleeding so much.I got him into the speeder and broke just about every driving law on Rostana to get to the hospital."
   Iro looked close to tears.He sighed and turned away.I couldn't believe what I was hearing.Jaro wanted to use me.Why?It made no sense.He's been after Iro for 5 years.What changed?
  "We got there and he went into surgery immediatly."Iro was still talking."He was so close to death.The police arrived and asked all kinds of questions.I told them everything.All of it.I didn't leave anything out.A few days later,Joskii was out,fully healed and you were coming back the next day.But then the police came and took Joskii away."
  "Oh no.This means I was right."
  "What?"
  "That wasn' the police that took him.It was Jaro's men disguised."
  "How do you know?"
  "Well for one,you weren't in danger in that situation in a way were Joskii had to save you.You had to save Joskii.For two,Joskii and I can't be sepperated.It's law."
  "Law?"
  "Twin Siruths can't be seperated.They have to serve together. Vacations are the exception.Jaro kidnapped my twin brother."
  "You're twins?"
  "You didn't know?"
  "Guess not."
  "Well,when daylight breaks,I'll have to call Misga.We have to go save my brother."
