Chapter 160: GABRIEL

“Catalina, I suppose!” The others had left to get things ready for the road, and I was left sitting in the office, still trying to make sense of these latest revelations. Either Lyon was a very good liar, or he really had no idea what his daughter was up to. I didn’t get the sense that he cared enough about what anyone else thinks to hide behind falsehoods, but the alternative is too preposterous to believe.

I’m supposed to accept that a ten-year-old child has the mental capacity to put all these things together? Her assumption that there were underground tunnels along the Silk Road is more than enough to leave me questioning my own sanity, but this this is too close to home. I think the thing that’s bothering me most is the slight inkling that she might be onto something.
