The driver was pacing as he talked.

тАЬTell him about the other kid!тАЭ the short man badgered.

тАЬYes, sir,тАЭ the driver said.

тАЬWe understand. She wonтАЩt be harmed unless you give the word.тАЭ The driver hung up, and the short
man exploded.

тАЬI canтАЩt believe you didnтАЩt tell him!

WhatтАЩs he gonna do when he finds out we got two kids instead of one?тАЭ

тАЬHe doesnтАЩt need to know,тАЭ the driver said.

тАЬHe wonтАЩt pay us,thatтАЩs what heтАЩll do!тАЭ

тАЬListen, by the time theyтАЩre ready to release the girl, weтАЩll have taken care of the other kid.тАЭ The two
went into another room. Ryan wondered what тАЬtaken care of meant. He went back to the mattress on
the floor.

Darrion was right. He needed a plan. And fast.

Vicki felt drained. Bruce, the man who had helped change her life, was gone. Her friend Chaya had lost
her mother in the bombing. Another Young Tribulation Force member, Mark, had nearly been killed, and
where was Ryan? Vicki was hanging by a thread, but there wasnтАЩt time to think about that now.

Judd was taking them, along withPhoenix, back to the road where they had found RyanтАЩs crumpled
bike. Lionel had been on the cell phone with John.

тАЬJohn canтАЩt find any kids transported by helicopter or anyone fitting RyanтАЩs description.тАЭ
тАЬItтАЩs crazy right now,тАЭ Vicki said.

тАЬThe records are probably incomplete. People arenтАЩt concerned with keeping record of the dead. They
want to help the living.тАЭ

Lionel looked hard at Vicki.

тАЬHeтАЩs not dead,тАЭ he said.

тАЬStop talking that way.тАЭ

Phoenixpicked up the trail from the road and took them through tall grass near the hill overlooking
NorthwestCommunityHospital. As they neared the top, Lionel shouted, тАЬLook at these tracks!тАЭ

In the grass, Vicki saw two sets of deep tire marks.

Phoenixcame back to the tracks and barked. He sniffed through the area and whined, tipping his head
this way and that.
