An hour and several arguments later, Shanti, wearing a horrible monstrosity that hugged her breasts and then exploded out into a sea of fabric to the floor, had her hair dyed black and styled. She was the only one, though. While having Rohnan disguised as a woman was a good idea, his shoulders were much too broad and muscular for him to pass as one. He’d have to stick to the sides and try to get around as best he could in broad daylight.

“I don’t have a good feeling about any of this,” Shanti said as she finally stepped outside. Molly had left after getting her dressed, not having an excuse to hang around any longer. At least none that her guard would buy.

“Neither do I, but we don’t have any other options.” Rohnan slipped in behind some shrubbery as the pretty young woman from the night before came walking toward them.

“Good, she’s on time.” Valencia pushed Shanti forward. “That’s Alena. She’ll be taking you around the prison. Okay, I have to run, girls. The kids make a horrible mess when someone isn’t looking over their shoulders. And remember, keep a low profile.”

Alena approached with an angry bruise across her cheek. She glanced at Rohnan in the bushes before focusing on Shanti. Her face turned a light crimson. She opened her mouth, probably to utter a greeting, but closed it again when Gracas stepped up.

“I’m ready, S’am.” Two of the oldest orphans were with him.

“You know what to do?” Shanti asked Gracas.

“I got it, S’am. I can do it.” He motioned the silent orphans forward. His body was much larger than theirs, stacked with muscle. He still had the youthful, floppy, and goofy way of moving, but he was a young man now, walking among boys. Hopefully the Graygual guarding the army in the park wouldn’t notice his older age. She was counting on Gracas to get some information about how that system worked, and distribute more poison if at all possible.

Ruisa came out of the house next in a puffy pink dress. Orphans scurried behind her and then out to the sides. They each carried a purse filled with a potent version of the poison the women had devised. With their time running out, they needed to start affecting the Graygual now. Ruisa would distribute that poison to everyone she could, working it into food and water. The effects wouldn’t be entirely noticeable for days, but the start of the damage would be quick—fatigue would set in only a few hours after ingesting the liquid.

Shanti had been dead set against involving the orphans. Children should be sheltered away from danger, not thrust into it. Unfortunately, they’d stolen some of the poison for themselves, and made it very clear they’d be helping Ruisa. She was one of them. And they all stuck together.

“Be careful,” Shanti said as they left the house.

“I like using the orphans least of all,” Rohnan said quietly.

Shanti sent a mental kick his way. That was supposed to be a secret.
