Her eyes snapped to mine, her voice sharp and cold.

"Don't touch it."

I nodded. No way was I going to argue with her.

"We need to get to the Caribbean," Nathaniel announced.

"I think if we ship out from Puerto Rico, we'l be able to sail pretty far out over the Puerto Rico Trench to the Milwaukee Deep. It's the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean--almost as deep as Mount Everest is tal --and if dropping the sarcophagus overboard there doesn't crush it to oblivion, then at least there's no way anyone could dive in to retrieve it."

"Sounds like a good plan," Wil agreed.

I raised my hand. "Uh, guys, I can't leave for a week in the Caribbean during school. How would I explain that to my parents?"

Wil frowned. "You can't tel them it's a school trip or something?"

I laughed. "Yeah, and not give them any other information? There is a lot that goes into field trips. I don't think I could get away with them just signing a permission slip."

"Isn't Thanksgiving break coming up?" he offered. Light bulb. "Right. That would be perfect."

"Can we fly?" Nathaniel asked. "Fly down on Wednesday night and be back by Friday at the very latest? Shipping the sarcophagus wil be expensive, but we don't have a choice otherwise. I'l have to get El ie a fake ID, since she's underage. I'l make one for you too, Wil . I think you'l need a seat on the plane to protect El ie instead of traveling through the Grim. Fakes won't be that much trouble."

"I like this plan more," I said. "I can tel my parents I'm going up north to Kate's lake house for Thanksgiving."

"I won't be going," Lauren said. "I can't defend myself and I don't want to be a liability."

"That is probably for the best," Nathaniel agreed. Wil nodded firmly. "Nathaniel, can you arrange it?"

Nathaniel nodded. "Yeah. I'l look into it immediately. We should get going, Lauren."

"I'm sorry I freaked you out, El ie," Lauren said. "I needed to feel what you were feeling. You're a fearless girl."

"I don't know so much about that," I assured her with an uneasy laugh.

"Braver than I am." She smiled.

Nathaniel and Lauren left, and I listened to the car drive away.

"Are you okay?" Wil asked, laying a gentle hand on my shoulder.

I nodded. "I'l live."

In truth, I was terrified. I didn't know how this was al going to work out, or if it was going to work out. I was pretty sure I could lie to my parents about the trip to Puerto Rico, so long as they didn't talk to Kate's parents. Kate would cover for me in case they questioned her. The lying part--that bothered me. It felt like everything that came out of my mouth was another lie to my parents.

"Yeah, but are you okay?" he repeated.

I looked up at him and met his gaze. "I'm scared out of my mind. That thing freaks me the hel out. Wil , I don't want to just end like that.
