“THEN WHAT ARE WE DOING standing here?” I asked. “Darkness or no, we have to find them now. Maybe I can help—if we get close enough.” I’d already cast my mind as far as I could into the jungle and had found nothing except animals.

Cort shook his head. “Uh,” he said, pausing to clear his throat, “we’ve discussed it thoroughly and we’re reasonably certain the Emporium will test the drug here in Mexico—and probably on Senator Bellars, since they seem to want so badly to kill him. But there is a bit of good news. The drug has an incubation period. Even with the base they stole from the lab, they’ll need eight hours to prepare it. They’ll also have to find supplies and a place to set up a lab. That means only a handful of villages within driving distance, or maybe even Palenque itself. If we wait until light, we can be sure we’re on their trail, especially now that Ritter’s here to track them. What we can’t risk is going past them or the wrong way because then we would find them too late. As far as we can determine, we don’t think they know we’re here.”

Ritter nodded. “We leave at first light then. I want everyone ready a half hour before.”

“No.” Keene shook his head. “I understand that we can’t risk losing them, but we have two vehicles. Barring the possibility that they have a secret headquarters, which I admit they might have in some remote village, Palenque is the closest and likeliest place. It’s also where Senator Bellars is. We need to warn him. He’s done too much good to leave his safety to chance. Whether they try out this new drug or go with their original assassination plan, Senator Bellars is still at risk.”

Ritter’s black eyes glistened and the coiled strength in his body gave the impression he was about to pounce. Silence ticked by, and then he nodded. “You start now for Palenque. We’ll give you enough ammo to protect yourself. Even with how slow you’ll have to drive in the dark, you should make it there in a few hours. It’s pretty much southeast of our current position. You’ll probably need to do some backtracking until you find a good road.”

Keene nodded, his gaze now going to his brother. “You could come with me.”

Cort tilted his head as if seriously considering the offer. Finally, he spoke. “They have a large contingent of Unbounded. When we run into them, it’s not going to be pretty. I’d better stay to help. But you’re right that you shouldn’t go alone. You may need backup.” He looked at Ritter, his arched brow a question.

“We need Dimitri.” Ritter’s gaze hesitated on Jace for the merest instant before passing to me. “Erin, you go. And take Hertenstein and Mari. Stash them in a hotel somewhere before you check on the senator.”

“What? No way,” I said at the same time Benito whined, “What about me? I want to go.”

“I’d like to stay,” Hertenstein said.
