Nick just nodded. “Okay, so the star thingy is a map.”

“A star map!” Kelly said, grinning widely at Nick. “You

treasure, and with it, the actual golden and rosy cross.”

“That’s great, but the star is gone too,” Nick pointed out.

“By?”

“I don’t know,” Julian snarled.

“So you’re hunting this treasure for someone else?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Julian merely stared at Nick with black eyes that gave

“That’s all I have!” Julian practically shouted.
