Explaining that lunch would start soon and they needed to be early to avoid the lines, Cobee talked the others into heading for the commissary. There was something about Steemball, too, but Will was too bothered by a gnawing pain in his gut to pay attention. Why had he let everyone down by rushing and somehow messing up that timer? Now they were stuck and in grave danger!

Even worse, the boy who’d mentioned “hidden in plain sight” was Bram Rasmussen, the son of their leader. Will wondered how he’d known something from his father’s journal. Also, why was someone so dangerous even allowed in the Steem Museum? Tante Stefana had made him nervous, so he’d forgotten to bring these things up.

Turning, he went back down the hall to see if he could locate her, but she was gone. When he trotted to catch up with the others, he found the hallway empty.

“Cobee?” Will called.

He’d only gone a short distance back, and he didn’t see how he could have lost them.

“Hey!” he shouted.

Thinking he heard them, he ran and found himself at a four-way intersection.

“Giselle?” he called. “Angie-bee?”

Again he thought he heard them, so he ran that way, hoping to catch up. As he neared a door, he realized to his alarm that the noises he’d thought were footsteps were really the sounds of combat.

Feet shifting this way and that were followed by the muffled thuds of a metal weapon contacting something. Fearing they were under attack, he jerked open the door and froze with fright.

“Shadovecht!” he cried.
