They emerged from the earth at dusk and washed off as best they could with the water jug they’d bought in Palm Desert. Brigid called Beatrice to check on Lupe’s phone and see if there was any activity.

“I was able to grab a location yesterday morning,” Beatrice said. “Just a rough one. It looks like she’s back in the Palm Desert, La Quinta area again.”

“Okay. And she’s still calling?”

“Short calls only. She’s careful. No texting.”

“Someone has to be helping her,” Brigid said. “We found out they were going to try to rescue a group of kids from a detention center.”

“As in a government detention center?”

“Kind of? It’s government but run by contractors. Daniel said that the girl told Lupe they had the kids in this old military base or something, and one of the children had disappeared. That’s why Lupe was determined to find them.”

“This is a nightmare. Let us know if you need any help. We have contacts in the area.”

“I’ll let you know, but for now we’re still trying to find her.”

“Kind of impressive,” Beatrice said. “She’s accidentally avoiding two of the best investigators in the world right now.”

“Sheer dumb luck and technical naivete?”

“Yeah.” Why was it so hard to track Lupe? Probably because she wasn’t following any of the rules of avoiding detection. She wasn’t trying to stay hidden, she just was hidden.

“She’s turning the phone on and off as she needs it,” Brigid said. “Probably trying to save battery.”

“Which makes it a pain in the ass to track too. Where are you right now?”

Brigid sat on the tailgate of the Bronco and looked at the lights of the Springs in the distance. “Some odd anarchist, counterculture, off-grid settlement in the middle of the desert. She was here three or four days ago.”

“Let me know if you make any progress.”

Carwyn emerged from the cave after settling the ground back into place.

“Will do,” Brigid said. “I better go.”
