“No,” Nathaniel growled in frustration as he cleared the passageway. It simply went into the other room, and it was empty. “NO!”

“Nathaniel,” Desmond snapped at him. “You will control your emotions.”

“And if this was Mariah?” Nathaniel snapped right back. “How would you react?”

“I would look for her,” Desmond said calmly. “And I would find her. Just as we will find Eliza.”

Sienna looked between the two of them, the tension thick in the air. She had thought this was going to be a boring quest, but it was turning out to be anything but that. It was as she was having that thought that a wave of dizziness hit her. Her knees buckled, and she fell against Desmond as the darkness overtook her.

Chapter 11

When Sienna awoke, they were still in Eliza's bedroom. The guards had left; it was quieter, and she was on Eliza's massive bed. She was lying on her side, and she was awoken by a terrible cough that shook her entire body.

Desmond's large, comforting hand clapped her shoulder. He was sitting in a chair by the bed, a stack of paperwork in his hands.

“It's all right, little one,” he said. “You're all right.”

She sat up, brushing the hair out of her eyes. Her lips felt chapped, and her mouth felt dry. She was grateful for the water glass that he handed her, and she sucked it down.

Nathaniel burst into the room then, his eyes frantic. His gaze lay on Sienna for one moment, and then he turned to Desmond.

“We have to go,” he said.

“Nathaniel,” Desmond replied patiently. “I have explained this to you already. We are not simply charging off when we have absolutely no idea where she is. Her guards are already searching the city, and they know it better than you do. In addition, Sienna is not ready to go anywhere just yet.”

“Eliza could be dying, and I have to wait?” he snapped in disbelief. “This is ridiculous. If she can't keep pace with us, she stays here.”

Any warmth that the two of them had shared was clearly dissolved. He was once again angry at being saddled with a Tiro who was not as strong as he liked. He was practically bouncing on his legs, ready to bolt.

Desmond was right, of course. He didn't have a plan or any clue what to do. They had scoured the room but had not found as much as a thread out of place. The rebels were being interrogated, but not one of them seemed to have any clue. Nathaniel had searched their minds, but they seemed to be completely confused as to what was happening. They may have had unequal intentions, but capturing the queen was not one of them.

“That is not how training goes,” Desmond replied. “And I won't hear another word against it. Please finish that glass of water.”

Sienna sank against the pillows, feeling small and sheepish. She closed her eyes to drown out Nathaniel's anger, which hung in the room like a thunder cloud. She felt guilty for not being able to keep up with them, but she was used to this.
