Capítulo 233: Chapter 233: Ivy

Monday. National Mall. Washington, DC.

IVY GLANCED OVER HER shoulder, but Piers was gone from view.

She knew he would be. She'd stuck to her path, striking off diagonally across the green while Piers had taken off at a jog to get to the other end of the lawn before time ran out.

Time.

There wasn't enough of it.

She picked up the pace, scanning the wide path. There were slightly fewer people, which made it easier to go faster. The further she went without spotting the car, the more nervous she got.

Where was it?

Had Piers been wrong?

She pushed the mask up and slowed her step, peering through the people.

They couldn't be wrong. They just couldn't. The other two cars had to be here.

"Ivy?"

Her gaze focused on a woman standing all of six feet away, gaping at her. Ivy opened and closed her mouth. She knew the woman, but she wasn't supposed to be here. This was all wrong.

And then it all made sense.

Kelsey.

The Task Force.

They were here.

The upload must have worked.
