"Fine. Austria is yours." They left Budapest at twenty past eight, the city sliding away behind them in its amber and gold — the bridges over the Danube lit from below, the Parliament building blazing white against the dark sky, the whole ancient and enormous shape of the place receding into the background like something that had briefly allowed them to exist inside it and was now returning to its own business. Elian watched it go with the window cracked two inches, the cold April air threading through. "You know what I keep thinking about?" he said.

"I know you are all wondering why were are here tonight as we, the Blue Moon pack, don't do many of these pack meetings. We are a peaceful small pack after all."

We will have to find an untraceable way to get there.” “Do they have rideshare there?” Mary asked. “I don’t even know what country that is.” “It’s the Czech Republic,” Ella told her, not blaming her for having never heard of the town. “They might, but it will be difficult to get a vehicle large enough for us and all of our luggage.”

It is just a place where rubbish is being disposed of.”

Her insides quivered as she took in the leafy trees and a sliver of clear blue sky. She whispered its name: Belle Vue. An exotic sound so full of promise. Then came the first view.

"Item 13 is at somewhere called Haodong commercial centre." Quickly, Ricardo synced the SUV's GPS with the tablet and the coordinates popped up. "Everybody, hang on," he said as he revved the engine and the car shot through the road like a speed demon. "You know, I don't get something," Jay said as they went, "why would the Nameless choose to bring Item 13 all the way to Shanghai to deploy it? And in a commercial building no less."
