They never expected Tarquin's parents to be tangled up with those kinds of people.

If they'd had any idea, they would've dug up every bit of information about them

ages ago.

Tarquin frowned, his voice steady.

"I honestly don't know exactly why my folks got on their bad side. What | do know is, before my parents died,

they left behind something that's really important to them."

"They've been watchingall these years, hoping I'll lead them to it."

"Whatever beef they had with my parents, it probably revolves around that thing."

Tracey's eyes widened. She leaned in, her tone urgent. "What is it? What did they leave behind?"

Tarquin shook his head.

"I wish | knew. My parents died so suddenly, and they never mentioned anything suspicious to me. I've gone

through their stuff a hundred times-nothing stands out."

Tracey frowned, pressing further.

"Were your parents scientists? Maybe in the medical field?"

Tarquin shook his head again.

"No, not as far as | know. Their work had nothing to do with medicine-they were both more like literary buffs,

really. My mom did work for OE News Agency for a while, though."

Tracey blinked in surprise, staring at Tarquin for a moment.

After a pause, she asked softly,

"What do you think this thing is? Any guesses?"

Tarquin's shoulders slumped.

"I have no clue. I've thought about it over and over. | keep replaying every little moment we had as a family,

but... nothing. Maybe they were just trying to protect me. Or maybe they never got the chance to tell me."

"They never even hinted at something like this."

"But one thing's for sure: whatever it is, it means a lot to those people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent all

these years followingaround."

"And | think it must matter to the country, too. Before my parents died, they reached out to the Ministry of

National Security. It even got the top brass involved."

"They sent in the military to try to get my parents out, but it all went sideways. They couldn't bring them

thing, either."

Tracey let out a long breath, rubbing her temples. After a while, she suddenly changed the subject.

"Tarquin, do you think it's tragic, what happened to your parents?"

"They managed to reach the Ministry

of National Security, and the

ministry went straight to the top. The government even sent the military. That has to mean thei deaths were

linked to national security, right?"

"If they really did die for their country, do you think it was worth it?"

"How do you feel about someone sacrificing their life for the greater good?"

She rattled off her questions, one after another.

"But if you lose your country, what's left for your family? Or your own dignity?"

"People living in war zones can barely survive, let alone talk about pride or happiness."

"Our peace, our comfort-it all comes from the strength and prosperity of our country."

Tarquin wasn't the type to go waving flags or shouting slogans. He was just a businessman, through and through.

But before he was a businessman, he was always a patriot.
