    Kat is on her way out of the building when she runs into Jace and Maia.

    Cade sighs, "How unlucky are we."

    Kat rolls her eyes and turns her attention to Jace's smug look.

    Jace chuckles, "They finally let you move about again."

    Kat stares him in the eye, "Yes if you want, you can take my place."

    "No thanks, only people like you house sit."

    "The only reason we were house sitting is cause you were occupied with small fries."

    Maia takes a step forward, but Jace puts his hand on her shoulder, smiling, "At least we were doing work."

    Kat ignores the statement, "I thought you guys were out searching."

    Jace shrugs, "We were, but I heard Magus was planning on throwing a party so a lot of hunters, including us, came back."

    "You guys are packed to leave so I take it you won't be going to the little get-together," Jace observes.

    "No, we will be searching."

    "Good the party will be better without you, now if you'll excuse us, we need to make a report."

    Kat and Cade watch them leave. Then Kat continues for the exit, and Cade runs to catch up.

    "Do you think they found the queen?" He asks, relaxed.

    Kat shakes her head, "No, there would be more commotion if they did."

    Cade nods, "Where should we begin looking?"

    "A map can only tell us so much. Let's get a look at the real locations and figure it out from there. I downloaded the information on the map into our glasses so we should be able to avoid any unnecessary searches."

    Cade sighs and they come to their bikes. Cade and Kat leave, and there isn't any conversation until they come to the abandoned town they checked out with Adalia.

    "I've been thinking," Cade begins.

    "What about" Kat asks

    "This queen probably doesn't live in something she made or something that humans have abandoned, someone would have noticed the thing she made or the up keep of what ever she was living in"

    "Ok"

    "So she probably lives in something people wouldn't notice. But from her title and the way Alterations have talked about her, I don't think it is something small."

    "So underground or in a big natural structure"

    "Yes, I don't think she lives with many other Alterations either"

    Kat nods "I agree, but there aren't many natural structures that people don't notice"

    Cade sighs "True but this should at least narrow our search for the time being"

    They go silent as they look at the terrain around them overlaid with the colored lines of the map on the glasses.

    Halfway in between the two towns Kat stops "Cade?"

    Cade nods "Its a definite possibility"

    Kat stares at the small mountain. It seems out of place being to small and far enough from the mountain range behind it, but bigger then the hills around it.
