Kate was about to draw the attention of the guards when they stopped, turned around, and walked back toward her. She ducked behind the corner of the bat house as the men passed. She could hear an animated conversation, in German, being conducted over their radios.

“They’re leaving,” Kate whispered. “I don’t get it.”

When they were gone, she came out and ran down the pathway to the polar bear exhibit. Quentin was lying on the ground, soaking wet and breathing like he’d just set a personal best in the marathon. Jake was unwinding his line from the rail posts.

“Where’s Nick?” she asked.

“Top deck,” Jake said. “He might have taken a swipe to the leg, but otherwise he’s in one piece.”

Kate ran around to the back of the exhibit, up the stairs to the top deck. Nick was still stretched out on the concrete platform. His right pant leg was torn and soaked with blood, just above the knee.

She kneeled down next to him. “How bad is it?”

“Hard to say,” Nick said, pushing himself to a seated position. “I’m so cold, I don’t think I have any blood flowing.”

“Can you get up? We need to get out of here, fast. I saw two guards turn around and leave their beat. I have a bad feeling about what’s coming next.”
