The next afternoon, I was called to a security briefing.
Katya was there, along with several of Dimitri's top men. They laid out the details of the party, location, guest list, security protocols.
Yamada Tower. One of the most exclusive venues in Tokyo. Sixty floors of steel and glass overlooking the city.
The party would be held on the top floor. Invitation only. Security would be tight, metal detectors, ID checks, armed guards at every entrance.
But Dimitri wasn't taking any chances.
He was bringing his own security. Me included.
"Kairen will attend," Katya said, her voice clipped and efficient. "Along with Dimitri. You'll stay with Kairen at all times. No exceptions."
I nodded. "Understood."
"The Tsukino family will be there as well," she continued. "Haruto and Kaito. Dimitri wants them watched. If they make any moves, any contact with anyone suspicious, you report it immediately."
"Got it."
She dismissed me, and I left the briefing room.
