It’s early evening when Stain and I reach the copse of banyan trees near Outpost Tharsis Two. The master and mistress are waiting at the rendezvous spot, and Riki-Tiki is nestled in the branches of a tree, keeping watch.

She hops branch by branch to the ground. “What took so long?”

“It’s his fault,” Stain says.

Vienne’s brother, huh? It’s hard to see the resemblance.

Like before, we hide the motorbikes deep in the foliage and use a leafy branch to scratch away tracks. This time, I’m keeping my armalite, and I put Vienne’s in the bike’s storage box, wrapped in burlap, ready to return to its owner.

“That is assuming,” Mimi says, “that Vienne is in Tharsis Two.”

“Affirmative,” I tell her. “That’s exactly what I’m assuming.”

Raindrops the size of bullets start falling, making dents in the loose dirt. A deep bass roll of thunder shakes the tree leaves as I lay out the master plan, then brief each of them on their jobs.

“Got it?” I ask them when I’m finished. “There’s some wiggle room built in, but if things go fig-jam, we abort the mission, right? Nobody gets hurt if we can help it.”

“Shah.” Shoei waves off the suggestion and points a thumb at Yadokai. “Thirty years I’ve been battling this knucklehead, you think I’m worried about a few little boys with guns?”

“Right,” Yadokai agrees. “You survive this woman for just a week, and you know you have stones of steel.”

“Me?” Shoei gives his ear a hard torque. “What about you?”

“See what I mean?” Yadokai says. “I am battle tested.”

“And I’m bored,” Riki-Tiki says. “Can we go get Vienne now?”
