“No,” Evan sighs, looking defeated. “Renato didn’t talk much before I killed him. He laughed, mostly. But Renato was nothing. As soon as he was dead, we found more just like him. More and more kids, the further we went.”

“And those others that we put down, none of them had ID on them,” McCoy added. “I think word spread that we were coming, and they tried to hide.”

“Renato was Lawson’s contact, though,” Cara says. “This much we know. Once you killed him, he made sure Ingram kept you guys in Cuba.”

“Yeah,” Rask says. “I don’t think we were meant to find the Chesley girl at all.”

“No, we weren’t,” Evan adds.

Cara stands with them, staring at the wall. “I’m sure he’s involved, and I’m going to figure out how. His photo didn’t end up in the box by accident.”

“Nothing in this mess is an accident,” McCoy says. “Someone’s behind it, and I fear the deeper we dig, the bigger the target is on our backs.”
