Red Hook

WELL, THIS IS inconvenient.” Bones settled back into one of the plush velvet couches in the Broken Land’s atrium. “Would you stop that, please?”

Walker stopped pacing and rolled his head on his neck. “We only have until tomorrow night.”

“Yes, Walker, I’m aware. So we come back tonight for the fireworks show, and we talk to Burns afterward. It’s inconvenient, but it isn’t world-ending.”

“I don’t like this place,” Walker said, casting a dark-circled eye around the room and sizing up the guests strolling in and out in their summer finery. “There’s something off about it.”

“Stop fidgeting.”

“It feels—”

“Walker,” Bones hissed, “you’re attracting attention.”

Walker followed Bones’s gaze to the foot of the wide marble stairs, where a blond man in a suit was watching them. He returned the man’s stare with an insolent tilt of his head until the fellow stalked out of the hotel.

“This place is getting to me,” he muttered.

“We’ll have to come back here tonight for the show.” Bones stood and stretched. “In the meantime, we need to speak to Christophel.”

Walker groaned.

“There’s nothing for it,” Bones pointed out. “Hawks has disappeared. Sawyer has disappeared. Overcaste doesn’t know who the fifth is. We need Bios again. It’s worked so far.”

“So far,” Walker repeated shortly. “And we still have a long way to go.” But he shrugged and followed Bones out of the atrium to a waiting carriage in the driveway.

Frederick Overcaste looked down from the driver’s box. “Where now?”

“Red Hook,” Bones replied. “The docks.”
