and angry in place of Maggie. They’d found the men in the Ascaro hills. Something about a kidnapped girl in the mountain tribes. He couldn’t make it out, with what sounded like the constant flap of wind across the words.
    Lani pulled on his arm. “What is it?”
    “My friend called and left a message, but I can’t understand it.” He touched the next line.
    Alex again. More garbled talk about little girls and checking in and coming down from the mountain.
    “Can you tell them to meet us so we can search for my mother?” Lani asked.
    “Just let me listen to the last message.” He selected the most recent voicemail. Only forty minutes ago.
    “Tomás, call me right now.” Maggie’s voice wavered, though the call was clear. “You should’ve checked in hours ago. Alex said you were meeting your guide in Choaca, but... Adrian. He’s there. We’re worried you might’ve run into him. He owns a hotel on the beach. A tourist resort called the Puerto Villa . If you get this message, meet us there. Otherwise, we’re coming up the mountain after you.”
    A lump formed in Tomás’ throat as Lani’s wide amber eyes stared at him, expectantly.
    Her father. The monster. He was in Choaca.
    “What about the Puerto Villa ?” Lani asked in Spanish.
    Tomás realized for the first time that Maggie had been speaking English, so Lani couldn’t understand her. Thank God.
    He shook his head. “Nothing.”
    Zolin grabbed Tomás by the shoulder and yanked him backward. “Your face is ashen. She told you something. What did she say?”
    “Nothing,” he repeated. But he was at an impasse. He couldn’t take Lani to the Puerto Villa , or even get near the place, in case her father could sense her. But he also couldn’t convince her that they could find her mother elsewhere.
    Maggie wouldn’t have known about Lani’s mother, and he couldn’t think of a convincing lie. But he had to get her out of Choaca as soon as possible.
    “You’re lying.” Lani touched his chest, just above his heart. “I can feel your deception, you forget.” She pushed on him with just the slightest touch. “What about the Puerto Villa ?”
    “I told you, it’s nothing. It’s just where my team will be. But I’ll call them and have them meet us up here.” He hit call back on Maggie’s message and the phone rang twice before she picked up.
    “Tomás? Gods, where have you been?”
    He looked at his mate, walking just ahead of him, and rolled his eyes. “You don’t want to know.”
    “I’ve been trying to reach you for hours. Here. Hang on. Alex wants to talk to you.” A shuffle of the phone and the gruff voice of the Miami pack enforcer came on the line.
    “My battery’s low. Where are you?”
    “Tomás? We thought something had happened.” he said in Spanish.
    “I’m fine. I told Maggie, it’s a long story,” he answered in Spanish. “Can you tell me what’s going on? Where are you?” He covered one ear. “It sounds like you’re in a wind tunnel.
    “Smashed out one of the rental’s windows.” Alex grunted. “Long story. Where are you?”
    “Choaca. When can you meet me?” He reached for his mate as her pace increased. Her fear was mounting. She must’ve felt his uncertainty, because she was more unsettled than she had been. He had to calm her.
    “We’re almost there. Maggie was in Zamora and I picked her up on my way. Did she tell you we found him?”
    “I got the message.” Tomás slowed his steps, hoping for a little distance away from Lani.
    Alex’s tone lowered into a growl. “I found a girl in the mountains. She lived the first nine years of her life in Guadalajara with a man named Mr. Rossi. A man from Ameca dropped her with this tribe after Rossi abandoned her and told them to keep her always with them. Never to let her come down off the mountain, because the man might find her.”
    Tomás’ insides clenched and released. “A familiar story.”
    “You found one?”
    “Sort of.”
    Another growl from
