They turned onto Route 50 going east and headed out of town. It didn’t take long, because Seth was driving. Good thing it was flat here. Maybe they wouldn’t get killed. But flat meant easier to spot from a helicopter. She wasn’t the only one peeking at the rearview mirror, checking for followers.

As the car ate up the miles and the inhabitants sat in silence, Blue replayed the conversation at the hotel room.

What Kitty said changed everything.

If they were suffering from physical problems, then none of them—not even Jack and Luke—could afford to run. They probably should be checked by a doctor. But they couldn’t exactly show up at a hospital.

She gritted her teeth. Goddamn Goldstone. What had they done to them? It was all so unfair. No one in Glory caused problems for the corporation. And now they were all dead. Hell, with her health issues, she could be dying, too.

Seth had a point. She’d come to rely on his judgment. If they went to the army, as he’d suggested, they would have access to medical care. Goldstone wouldn’t mess with the army.

Would they?

While a kernel of doubt niggled at her stomach, she couldn’t deny that the nosebleeds and headaches were unsettling. She hadn’t connected her headache and nosebleed on the train to the drug, but if Seth and Kitty had side effects, too… She couldn’t ignore that. They should stay together.

That she wanted to stay with him, that leaving him now hurt in a spot she didn’t want to poke too hard, well, that wasn’t important, was it?

His voice cut into her thoughts. “So, who did it?”

“Did what?” She glanced at him in the rearview mirror.

“Someone tipped them off.” Seth met her eyes, his brow low, and she nodded, amazed again at how easily she understood what he meant.

Of course. It was the only possible explanation. How else would they have known they were there? “Someone used a phone or their credit card. Called someone. Something.”

“No one called. You made us all take the batteries out of our phones, remember? You said batteries make them traceable.” Next to her, Luke looked genuinely confused. Not him, then.

“Yes, but someone had to have reached out,” Seth pushed from the front. He didn’t bother to signal as he wove around a lone car on the empty highway. “I didn’t see anything. There wasn’t anyone following us. We’d lost them. Then suddenly, they were there.”

“I’ve never even had a cell phone.” Kitty stared out the window. “And I wasn’t allowed my own credit cards.”

Not Kitty, either, then. Blue turned to Jack in the passenger’s seat.

“Oh, so it has to be me?” Predictably, his chin jutted out, and he glared at Seth. “Maybe you’re not as good as you think you are, Seth. Did anyone consider that maybe he’s giving us away for his own purposes? You guys are so quick to trust him, but what if army boy here is involved in this?”

Blue opened her mouth to light him up when Kitty cut her off.
