G ive me the shotgun, Gabriel said. When Maya hesitated, he turned and looked directly at her so she could feel power in his eyes. Its all right He reached out slowlyas if he were dismantling a bomband took the weapon out of her hands.

Theyre going to kill us, she whispered.

Who are you talking about?

See the man sitting on the bench and the two people over by the fountain? Tabula mercenaries.

Youre wrong, Maya. Theres nothing to worry about.

Gabriel continued across the square, and Maya followed him. He had no idea if anyone had noticed the incident. Perhaps they looked like lovers having an argument. They reached the curb together, but Winston wasnt there. Mayas head was whipping back and forth as if they were surrounded by enemies. Finally the white van came around the corner and Gabriel waved frantically. Hurry up. Get us out of here.

Theyre going to follow us.

The van pulled up to the curb and Gabriel yanked open the side door. Get in, Maya. I promise youwere safe. Those people in the park are just ordinary citizens.

They climbed into the back of the van. Maya looked dazed and unhappyas if shed just been awakened from a bad dream. When they reached Camden Market, Winston parked on the street. The drum shop owner knew that something had gone wrong, but he had become cautious after a few months of dealing with Linden and Mother Blessing. He waited for a few minutes, and then spoke softly while watching his two passengers in the rearview mirror.

Perhaps we could go back to the shop and have a nice cup of tea?

Just leave us here, Winston. Maya and I are going to talk.

Winston got out of the van, and Gabriel and Maya sat together, listening to the traffic noise. When he tried to take her hand, she pushed it away.

Are you going to tell Linden what happened?

Why would I do that?

Im not a very good bodyguard if I go completely tonto in the middle of Russell Square.

Its not easy to come back from the First Realm and act like nothing happened. Its probably best if you just stay in the secret room and guard me. That wont be difficult. Ive decided to cross over again.

Now youre the crazy one, she said. Everything will fall apart if you leave.

I have to go, Maya. I need to find my father. Hes the only person who can help me figure out what to do.

He might not have an answer.

Im not even sure if I can find him. But that doesnt make any difference. Almost every important choice in our lives is really just an expression of hope.

You need to know that A strange look passed across Mayas face and then she stopped talking.

What?

Nothing, she answered with her cold Harlequin voice.

Gabriel took her hand and squeezed it tightly, then he got out of the van. By now, he knew the location of every surveillance camera in the area and followed a complicated route that avoided their scrutiny. A minute later, he was entering the catacombs.
