CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Wilder and Evan strode off to the Expanse, leaving Sophia alone in the Castle. She was waiting on Mortimer to give her leads on the Rogue Riders. She knew that tracking down criminals was a long shot, but Plato had reinforced the plan, so she figured it had merit. Other than that, she didn’t have other ideas for how to deal with the Rogue Riders.

With all the guys out on the Expanse training, it left Sophia alone in the dining hall, looking at all the artfully arranged food Trin had laid out. She pulled out her phone and messaged her sister.

“Evan is on board to retrieve the genie’s bottle,” Sophia typed. “I have the map from Ru. Let me know what you want to do next.”

“Jump into a ravine,” Liv responded a few moments later.

Before Sophia could reply, another message from her sister came through. “Oh, you meant about the genie’s bottle. Yeah, let me get back to you on that. That’s too stressful for me to think about right now.”

“Is everything okay?” For the second time, Sophia sensed that things weren’t okay with Liv.

“Well, there’s an avalanche of rocks speeding in my direction, so not really,” Liv responded.

“So when you said you want to jump into a ravine…”

“It was literal,” Liv replied.

“Be careful,” Sophia warned.

“I will, but I have to dive right now.”

“Isn’t jumping into a ravine going to get you buried?” Sophia had to ask.

“No, it’s how the fairy godmother I saved earlier told me to get out of danger. There’s a tunnel down there. I have to get to it…”

“Okay, message me later when you’ve survived.”

“Copy that, Love Bug. XOXO.”

Sophia lowered her phone, feeling like everyone had a job right then but her. She often found herself in the middle of these lulls between missions where she waited for a lead to come in. Sophia knew it would be smart to use the time to conserve energy, but it was difficult for her to sit around when she sensed that she could help the world to be a safer place.

Suddenly, something that Liv had mentioned occurred to Sophia. She didn’t know why she hadn’t thought of it before. Yes, Mortimer was a godsend. Yes, she had eyes and ears looking for signs of the Rogue Riders. Still, she didn’t know why she hadn’t thought of this option until then. It should have been a no-brainer.

Sophia eyed the little cakes and confections on the dining room table before her, tempted to grab one for the road. However, she remembered that where she was going, she wouldn’t need to fill up on dessert. That she could do once she got there.
