Scanning the room for Jia, failing to find her or her brother or Pain, Kato shrugged. She had been here, he knew, but she was not here now. “Uzzi made it out too…and a fellow called Aman…” “Fenway?” asked Maz. “What was he…?” “Same as all the rest…does she know about Donn…General Warby? “Captain Ortega came back with her,” Liam assured him. “She knows. She’s in LaGuardia, trying to get things under control before Donn…take it he made it…” “As far as Kennedy. I need to get a message to her. It is urgent” He patted the breast pocket of his coat. “Stopped long enough to get her care…get Eddie home…” “You can’t go,” Candace squeaked, listening to the conversation from the place where she lay under Trill’s care, the medic treating her external wounds and washing away the dirt from the day’s travel, while Vanya tightened her grip and begged, “You just got here…you can’t leave…I want to hear about the castle. You have to tell me everything! I have things to show you!” “You’ve been on the road long enough,” Deuce agreed. “Liam can take the message to Jia.” If Liam had made the offer, Kato would have refused, despite his efforts to accept that there was no need for rivalry. Whatever the reason for Deuce’s recommendation, Kato had to agree that he was tired of running, of riding, of traveling. He owed Vanya a few days of his time at least, and the message he carried could not wait that long.
