Trajan and Evander were in unimaginable danger and Danc .

Dane looked as defeated as Id ever seen him .

I sat opposite him in the dark cell , my knees to my chest .

I could not bear the silence any longer .

My voice cracked but I didnt care .

Youre the only one whos ever outsmarted him .

You have to come up with something .

Dane exhaled heavily , pressing the heels of his hands to his face .

Its like hes always three steps ahead .

I inched closer to Dane , desperate to reach him .

Then we have to find a way to surprise him .

There has to be something he doesnt expect .
