He smiles.

“You can’t promise that.”

“Yes, I can.”

His eyes move past me.

For one second, I think he sees Kane.

Then I hear Sage’s voice through my receiver.

“Dad, left!”

Navarro has a second weapon.

He pulls it from behind his back.

I fire.

The bullet hits his shoulder.

His first gun falls.

The second remains in his hand.

He raises it again.

I shoot.

Navarro drops to one knee.

The weapon strikes the dirt.

Kane and Holt reach him from the west.

Trent and Arthur appear on the opposite ridge.

Navarro presses one hand against his chest.

Blood spreads between his fingers.

I kick both weapons away.

“Where are the other girls?”

He laughs weakly.

“Too many places.”

“Give me the locations.”

“No.”

“Where are they?”

His gaze lifts to mine.

“You’ll never find all of them.”
