It was sort of strange to see my cousin Evan take charge after that. He’d been mostly quiet as we tried to explain to Zoe what had happened during our ill-fated foray into Santiago territory, but as soon as it was clear that we didn’t have a lot of answers left to give, he thanked us for the explanations, then guided his wife into the kitchen so he could pour her some iced tea.
After that, the phone calls began. The de la Paz clan was a big one, but they clearly had some kind of phone tree set up to spread the news, just as we McAllisters did, if not on such a grand scale. In between two of those calls, I murmured to Evan that we needed to get Levi home, but we’d be in touch, and that in the meantime, he and everyone else in the clan needed to stay on guard.
Evan didn’t bothe
