458 Chapter 458

My panic was interrupted by Tara's next statement. "By the way, while you were sleeping, one of Holland's planes took off. We tracked it to Fiumicino."

"Fiumicino?" my sister repeated. I wondered if she knew where that was. She seemed to. "All right. Did anyone get off of it?"

"Yeah, but no one we recognized. Italian LIGHTS is in pursuit."

"Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to go talk with Ward before I interrogate Stewart. Keep up the good work, Tara." My sister flipped off her IAC and faded from my mind.

"Why would they be in Rome?" I asked Tara.

"No idea. But we should think about going there, too. It seems like they're always a step or two ahead of us on this thing."

"I guess. But then if Holland knew the portal opened every six hours, why did she bother to put them in there? She must've known they could get out."
