“Hey, we’ll get them back. I promise,” Brook said. Lola glanced at him with a spark of hope, which was good. We needed as much hope as we couldget.

I flipped the pen I was holding between my fingers, under the pointer, over the middle, followed by underneath the ring finger, and back. “We need an element of surprise. We’ll ambush them. We’ll be exactly where they want to endup.”

“Wait – you know where the money is?” Brook asked. “The fifty million?”

“I’m going on a hunch, but right now I’m going to trust it. I also don’t have anything else, other than to search the whole town. If we do that, they’redead.”

“I’m ready.” Lola reached behind her back and removed agun.

As soon as I heard her giggle in the back, I put on my headphones and turned on the music. All I needed now was to findKate.
