Peter

"I'm the only person who heard him call for back up aren't I---yeah of course they're not responding." Of course they aren't. I look up at the big house. Where even is Jason? Why could he not give more precise directions? Why did that girl call him her pet? And why am I the only one still listening to the ear pieces?

I probably won't get answers to any of those questions. But I heard him.

"No, you don't."

"Alex???" my half nephew person who is actually Cassian's half quarter nephew person. "What are you DOING here?"

"Actually, I'm Anise, and I'm messing up your heist," he says, not letting me up.

"No, I have to go in there," I struggle to get away but he's inhumanly strong, "I think something bad is happening."

"Yeah. Us rightfully stealing what you were trying to steal. Stole. Steal—,"

"Oh my god."

"Yeah. You're waiting out here."
