“You weren’t the one holding the knife,” Eli said.

Adriane said nothing.

But I could tell from her face. She finally got it. That we weren’t crazy. That the past was relevant to our present. That the Hledacˇi 217

and the Lumen Dei and Chris were all tied together, somehow. That it was all because of me.

That I was to blame.

“We can’t change what happened,” Max said. “But if this is really the map the Hledacˇi are looking for, it means we can beat them. If we could find the Lumen Dei ourselves, before they do, we’ll have leverage— we can force them to clear my name and leave us all alone.”

Eli snorted. “Right, or instead of negotiating with potentially imaginary killers, we could get the hell out of the country and go to the cops.”

“Like anyone would believe this— especially coming from me,” Max said.

“Eli smiled. But it all sounds so convincing.”

“Eli’s right,” I said. I didn’t look at Max; it felt too much like a betrayal. “This is too big. We came here to find you, Max. And you’re here, you’re safe— we have to get out before anything else happens.”

“You mean like angry guys in hoods trying to slit our throats and throw us into a river?” Adriane said. “I think the anything-else ship has sailed. What’s next, ninjas?”

“Not if we leave first. I said.”

“You mean if we run away,” she said. “From what you

started.”

“Adriane— ”

“If we go to the cops and they don’t believe us, they throw Max in jail, what then? What happens when these guys come back for more?”
