After hanging up with Fiske, Amy checked in with Dan.

“So we think the Outcast has a broken arrow that he found and fixed somehow,” her brother said. To anyone else, the wobble in his voice would have passed unnoticed. “And he’s going to detonate the nuke tomorrow during this huge national outdoor party. When the spray hits land, he’s literally going to rain on the Netherlanders’ parade. Can you believe it? That Outcast is one demented old dude.”

Amy’s breath caught in her throat. She felt a throbbing knock against her rib cage. “Dan.” She whispered his name like a lifeline tossed across the ocean that divided them. “You can’t stay there. You have to go.”

The smile on Dan’s face dissolved, allowing her to catch a glimpse of the fear he’d been trying to mask. “I can’t leave,” he said. “All these people, this beautiful city.”

Saladin must’ve recognized Dan’s voice. He meowed plaintively in the background.

“Whoa! Please tell me that was who I think it was.” Dan bounced back to life on screen.

Amy pulled herself together for Dan’s sake. She caught him up to speed on what was happening on her end and stopped asking him to vacate the Netherlands. As much as she wanted him to be far away from the danger, she knew her brother. He would never walk away.

A bolt of shame speared her. Was she just going to accept the risk to her brother’s life? Perhaps she was as ruthless as Grace. But what other options were there? Ian was smart, capable, and strategic, but the pressure of leadership was getting to him, causing him to make mistakes. The Netherlanders needed someone who also possessed tried-and-true instincts.

They needed Dan.

“I can’t believe we’re this close to Grace’s house—make that your house, Amy—and we can’t even stop in for a snack or to use the toilet,” Ham said as he slid back in behind the wheel of the Ghost.

“I know, right? Gas station bathrooms stink. Literally,” Jonah said. “Why do you think I’m holding it until we reach the hangar?”

“Whatever, man, it was worth it. Now I can sit in comfort while I eat my Funyuns.” Hamilton cracked open the bag of onion-flavored rings that he’d picked up inside the convenience store.

“Not while you’re driving, you can’t,” Amy said, snatching the bag from his hands and tossing it into the backseat with Jonah.

Jonah scooped it up and started munching on the rings.

Glancing back at him in the rearview mirror as he pulled out of the gas station parking lot, Hamilton cried, “Hey! Leave some for me.”

Jonah took another ring out of the bag and popped it in his mouth. “Consider this payback for the Shakespeare clip.” His eyes narrowed. “Payback number one, that is. You’re not getting off that easy.”

Within minutes, they were pulling up to a large grassy field surrounded by a high-security fence. Amy held her breath as she punched in the code to open the gate securing access to Grace’s private hangar and airstrip.
