Maverick:Let me bring Alessa into this chat so I don’t have to relay it.

**Alessa added to group chat**

Alessa:Hey, Star

Lodestar:Hey. There’s no need to run that DNA test anymore.

Alessa:You’re not related?

Lodestar:No. Her father was a high-ranking Sparrow, Alessa.

Alessa:What?! That’s impossible!

Lodestar:It isn’t. It’s the truth. He was killed in a power grab and Kat almost died as a result.

Maverick:Jesus Christ. Has this been confirmed?

Lodestar:Yes.

Maverick:Fuck. What’s your next move?

Lodestar:I’m coming back to the US. On a plane now, heading to New York. Conor’s going to arrange for one of his men to collect Kat. I need him to bring her to the city.

Maverick:Why?

Lodestar:I want to see her. I don’t know how long I’ll be stateside and if she finds out I’ve been here without visiting her, I’ll never hear the end of it.

Maverick:Lol.

Alessa:I’ll make sure she’s ready. What time?

Lodestar:Five okay?

Alessa:Sure. You’re certain she will be safe?

Lodestar:Conor’s men mean business.

Maverick:I can have a brother ride with them.

Alessa:She’d love that.

Lodestar:Lol. She would. That would be great.

Maverick:Sin? He liaises with the Five Points anyway.

Lodestar:No. There’s nothing to liaise with as of yet. Link would be fine. He doesn’t have to stay once she’s dropped off.

Maverick:Will you send her back the same night?

Lodestar:Very likely. But she’ll be fine without Link. Conor would never let anyone hurt Katina.

Maverick:That much faith in him?

Lodestar:I love him, Jameson.

Maverick:You mean business if you’re bringing out my real name.

Lodestar:I just wanted you to know it’s serious. When things are settled down, I’m going to move in with him.
