“The bearded man, who was he?”
“I do not know. I took an image of his face and searched. No match.”
“Send it to the Clan in Mongolia; ask them.”
Fizz’s eyes flashed amber.
“Done.”
Nat looked over at the silver-framed photograph on her mother’s dressing table. A normal family photo – Nat on her mother’s knee, her father standing behind on the deck of the Junko. Everyone smiling. Zoinks! Yet nothing was as it seemed.
She took a deep breath, turned and headed for the door.
“One sword down, another to go, Fizz.”
