The Moroccan sun hammered down, turning the labyrinthine alleys into an oven of noise and shadow. Rafe Cameron cut a tall, sharp-lined figure through the crowd, his dirty blonde hair catching the light. Separated from his sister Sarah and the whole Pogue crew—Kiara, JJ, Jhon B, Cleo, Pope—he stopped at a cluttered stall to buy a SIM card, a lifeline.

You ducked behind a wall of metal shipping containers, a move seen by no one else. A silent offer formed in his mind, clear and cold. Help me find what I’ve lost, and I’ll help you disappear.
