“No. It’s back in the room.”
“You can’t go back to the hotel.”
“Why not? I haven’t done anything.”
“I booked your reservation. They’ll be waiting for you to get to me.”
“But…”
“Just as well you left your phone there. They can track it.”
“Spencer, why would the police want to track my phone?”
Spencer grimaced. “To find me, of course.”
They emerged onto a boulevard teeming with vehicles, and Spencer waved down a green and yellow auto-rickshaw. After a halfhearted negotiation, he and Drake climbed into the back just as a drizzle began pelting the fiberglass enclosure. They sat in silence as the driver battled through the impossible traffic, the chaotic current of vehicles apparently random.
“Where are we going?” Drake ventured.
Spencer eyed the driver and lowered his voice. “More toward Old Delhi. It’s sketchier up there, but also less likely to be plugged in. Our odds of finding someplace discreet are way better.”
“So we’re going to an area that’s worse than what we just left?” Drake whispered, looking around at the squalid buildings and crumbling cinderblock dwellings.
“Oh, that was nothing.”
Drake sighed in exasperation. “You need to tell me what’s going on, Spencer.”
“I will,” Spencer promised, inclining his head at the driver with a raised eyebrow. “Later.”
Drake got the message: he was to stay quiet until Spencer felt it was safe to talk. The rickshaw continued on its stuttering way, and the men fell silent, the events of the last hour obviously weighing heavily on them as they motored through the New Delhi night.
