Given her size and strength in comparison to mine, she easily wins the brief tug-of-war and the leash slips from my grasp. "Damn it, Trixie, come back here," I exclaim, but it's too late. Trixie dashes away, her diamond-studded collar gleaming in the sunlight. Mrs. Morales is planning to murder me. I chase after Trixie, cursing loudly under my breath. She weaves in and out of the parked cars and heads to the alley. I inhale and exhale, measuring my breaths as I kick my high-school track star talent into high gear.

"Eighth. The third pearl is the only piece of good news this prison has. It is hidden. The Silver does not know where. The Black does not know where. *I* do not know where. The Tide Mothers buried it so well that not even the prisoners can find it. As long as it stays hidden, the entity beneath us cannot wake. Find it. Hide it better. Do not let her near it. That is your work, eighth. Not vengeance. Not your purple boy. Not your rose cousin. The third pearl. Everything else is — " She fades.
