Nexus nodded and looked in his pocket. “Here’s the key.”
Emma took it and frowned. “Good. Listen to me. If Nik and I are not back by daylight, you leave no matter what.”
“Are you insane? You’ll get caught.”
“I’m a CIA agent, remember?”
Nexus shook her head. “How are you going to help me if something happens to you?”
Okay, this goes against my better judgment. Emma took lipstick out of her pocket. “Take this.”

Emma nodded. “Wolfsbane tranquilizer.”
“Worked like a charm.”
“Can you locate Nik?”
Nexus took her phone out of her pocket. “Hold on.” She swiped. “I have to look at a million cameras.”
“Try Saskia’s room.”
Nexus nodded and gasped, “Shit.”
“What?”
