blushing.
    Dan barked, “So we’re just going to let Ian and Evan go in alone?”
    “With the police,” amended Amy.
    “Come on! They can’t go to the police,” said Dan. “What will Ian and Evan tell them? That some maniac named Vesper One is planning on blowing up the world and all they have to do is search an entire mountain range to find the hostages and a device that Archimedes made centuries ago? And, by the way, that’s why the sky is purple? They’ll lock   them   up.”
    Atticus said, “I think Dan has a point. It would be hard to believe. And by thetime the police got up to speed andactually did anything, it might be too late.”

    Amy  considered  this  and  said, “Okay, I’ll call in reinforcements.” Shepicked up her phone and punched in thenumber.
    “Hamilton? It’s Amy.” She quickly explained what had happened. “I need you and Jonah to fly to Washington State right now. You can fly into Seattle and then get to the motel and meet Ian and Evan.” She
    paused, her mouth breaking into a grin. After all the bad news it felt terrific to be
    able to convey something positive.
    “And I’ve got great news,” she said. “Phoenix is alive. And free. He got away from the Vespers. He’ll be with Ian and Evan.”
    “That’s awesome, Amy,” Hamilton
    said.
    She heard Hamilton say something to

    Jonah and the international superstargrabbed the phone from Hamilton.
    “Amy, is it true? Is Phoenix reallysafe?”
    Amy heard Jonah’s fab voice crackand she could almost feel the waves ofemotion across the ether.
    “He really is, Jonah. You’ll be able to see for yourself soon.”
    She heard a little sob escape from Jonah and he said, “Thanks.”
    Hamilton came back on the line. “Okay, Amy. We’ll be ready to go right away.”
    “When we’re done in DC, we’ll fly out there. Phoenix will lead you to the location of the hostages. Do whatever you can to rescue them and stop the Vespers. We’ll meet you there as soon as

    possible.”
    She clicked off and looked at the
    others. Dan was watching her with a dark expression.
    “It’ll be too late, Amy,” he said accusingly.
    “I don’t think so. If Vesper One believes he’s won, he’ll have a false sense of security. And if we can capture Isabel in DC, we’ll have a hostage that we can bargain with. I’m tired of Vesper One holding all the cards.”
    Dan shook his head stubbornly. “But why would Vesper One give up anything for Isabel? According to you they’re probably competing for the top spot of global megalomaniac.”
    “Because she might have valuable information about Vesper One that he

    won’t want us to learn. And Isabel has resources we don’t. If we can force her to
    work with us, we can employ some of those assets to help us.”
    “I still think you’re wrong,” said Dan hotly.
    “Fine. Do you want to lead this operation?” Amy said, staring at him.
    Under her gaze Dan finally looked down. “I just hope you’re right.”
    “Me, too,” Amy said under her breath. “Me, too.”

    The plane ride was incredibly turbulentand Ian, Evan, and the rest of thepassengers on the flight, and maybe eventhe pilots, probably thought they wereactually going to crash. When theyapproached the airport, the turbulencebecame so severe that several passengersfainted while others grabbed barf bagsand filled them up with their stomachcontents. When the plane finally bounced

    down on the runway and stayed there, everyone cheered.
    Ian and Evan looked at each other, their faces pale and their bellies wriggly.
    Ian said, “If we survive the Vespers, perhaps we can drive back East. I don’t think my stomach can manage another jaunt like that one.”
    “Yeah,” said Evan, holding his stomach. “It must be really windy today. Only reason why it would be so bumpy.”
    They hustled toward the exit with their bags. When they got outside of the airport they found, to their
