We stared at the dot for a couple of seconds.

Then Cameron said, “Where is that?”

Suzana zoomed the map out a little.

“It’s near the Capitol,” she said. She switched to satellite view and pointed. “There’s the Capitol dome, see?” She zoomed in. The green dot was on the roof of a smallish house to the east of the Capitol in a neighborhood made up of a whole lot of smallish houses all squeezed together in blocks.

“How far away is that?” I said.

She moved the map and pointed. “Our hotel is here.” She zoomed partway back out. Now we could see our hotel and the green dot.

“That’s not that far,” I said.

“Maybe a mile,” said Victor.

We stared at the map a little more, nobody talking. Then Suzana looked at me and said, “Ready?”

“For what?” I said.

“To go get Matt.”

“You mean now?”

“Yes, now, while we know where he is. You ready?”

The truth was, I didn’t feel ready at all. I felt like crawling into bed and pulling the covers over my head and closing my eyes until this whole mess went away. But there are some things you just can’t do, and one of them is tell Suzana Delgado, who you are discovering is basically a Navy SEAL disguised as a hot eighth-grade girl, that you’re afraid to go with her to rescue your friend.

“Yeah, I’m ready,” I said.

“Okay,” she said. She looked at Victor. “You stay here.”

“Why?” said Victor.

“In case Wyatt and I get into trouble,” she said. “You can help us get out of it. If we’re all there together and something goes wrong, we have no outside help.”

My stomach did not like the way that sounded.

Victor nodded. Cameron said, “So I’ll go with you guys?”

Suzana looked at him, and I could tell what she wanted to say, which was something like, We’d really rather you didn’t go, because you’re kind of an idiot and a lot of the time you smell like a badly maintained public restroom. But—give her credit—she didn’t say that to Cameron. What she said was, “I guess.”

“What’s your plan for getting Matt out?” said Victor.

“Depends what the situation is,” said Suzana. “We’ll figure that out when we get there.” She seemed really confident about that.

We made sure everybody had everybody else’s phone number. Suzana snuck back to her room and told her roommates she was sneaking out and they should cover for her, which of course they would because she was Suzana. Then she came back to our room. We turned out the room lights and I opened the door and peeked into the hall.

“Nobody out there,” I said.

“Let’s go,” said Suzana.

The three of us stepped into the hall; Victor closed the door behind us. I started toward the elevator.

“No,” whispered Suzana. She pointed the other way. “Stairs.”

We trotted down to the end of the empty hallway, past a bunch of rooms full of sleeping kids who were having a normal class trip and not sneaking out of the hotel in the middle of the night to try to save their friend from Gadakistani terrorists planning to attack the White House.
