CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE OF DOOM
"Here you go," Fred said, handing over the money. "Sorry for the delay."

"No problem at all," the man said. "I'm used to being delayed. Bye." He started walking away.

Fred climbed back onto the deck of Noatak and started waiting for Dana and the others to return. After a few minutes, Dana climbed aboard.

"Fred, I can't find the others anywhere," she said. "I'm going to grab a drachma to make an Iris message. Don't follow me."

"Hey, I want to find the others too. I may not have been here that long, but I'm part of the team just as much as you are."

"Fred, Iris messages go through Iris. Iris is a goddess. The gods have twenty million on your head. So just stay away from the message and then we can find the others."

Without listening for Fred's response, Dana went through a couple doors until she found another golden drachma. "Oh, Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering." She tossed the drachma onto a set of oil paints and watched it vanish. "Show me Roy Gold."

The message opened and Roy became visible. Caitlyn and Rune were both beside him. All three were tied up, albeit separately.

"Dana!" Rune called out. "Where's F-"

"Hush," Dana said. "Ixnay on the Edfray, oronmay. Where are you guys?"

"With all due respect, we are underground, in a large building about forty meters north of where Noatak is stuck," Roy said. "An old foe of ours, a cyclops named Trachius, is here and it was he who captured us for both revenge and to take Rune out of the running for Eternal Destiny."

"What?" Dana said. "You mean the Trachius? From the Skylar Squad? Why on Earth would you get him on your bad side?"

"Long story," Caitlyn said. "You think you can make it?"

"We're on it," Dana said. The Iris message ended and Dana rushed back up to the upper deck, where Fred sat.

"So, what's the deal?" Fred asked.

"The others are in trouble," Dana said. "I have a location, there's a known enemy, and I told them we were on our way. So let's be on our way."

Fred nodded. The two of them left the Noatak and went northward.
