There was added security after the Krakenite attacks, so Zoey had sneaked back into the hive before lockdown and had hidden in room 1D. If an agent came by, she would use the excuse that she had homework to catch up on. To make her story more believable, she logged on and did actual work until the numbers at the bottom right of her screen said 12:00 AM.

With her gold boomerang fastened securely to the bracelet around her right wrist, she logged off and quietly closed the door behind her. Holding her breath, she tiptoed on the marble floors and along the dark corridors. She shifted her weight carefully so she wouldn’t make a sound with her sneakers.

The moon shone through the tall windows and turned the walls and floors to shades of silver and blue. The darkness and eerie silence were gloomy.

Footsteps echoed down the hall.

She pressed herself flat against the wall and waited, her heart banging in her ears. The footsteps neared. She stopped breathing and stole a peek.

A young agent patrolled the hallway. He had the determined expression of a rookie who took this job very seriously. Simon and Tristan would be stepping out of the mirrors in the main hall any second now—the agent would see them. It would be her fault if they got caught. They might even get suspended. She needed to distract the agent.

She ran back down the hall and slipped through the door of Room 1D. She hurried over to the weapons table and grabbed a metal ball for one of the slingshots. Then she sprinted back to the door and peeked through to make sure the young agent was still patrolling the hall near the mirrors.

She pitched the tiny ball down the opposite corridor. It hit door 1B with an echo. Then it bounced off the adjacent walls, making even more of a racket as it rolled down the passageway.

Zoey hid behind the door and watched the agent charge into room 1B. While he was occupied, she sneaked down the corridor in the other direction—just in time to see Tristan and Simon step out of a mirror.

“We don’t have much time,” she said catching her breath. “There’s an agent patrolling the corridors. I distracted him, but he’ll be back any second.”

“Oh, man, we’re going to get caught!” whined Simon.

“SHHH!” Tristan put a hand on Simon’s mouth.

“Quiet,” he said in a whisper and then let him go.

Zoey surveyed the end of the hallway. “The coast is clear,” she whispered. “He didn’t hear us,”—she glowered at Simon—“But we have to hurry. We need to find the mirror that will get us to Troll City.”

With Tristan and Simon on the left side, and Zoey on the right, the three of them began to examine the walls of mirrors, searching for the one they needed. Within seconds she found an inscription that read United States of America. She knew that Louisiana was a southern state. This was the one.

“Found it,” she said. Tristan and Simon moved next to her.
