Race frowned.

It was a list of every communication signal that had been picked up by the BKA’s Peruvian field team.

By the looks of it, they had received ‘status update’ requests from BKA headquarters every three hours from 7:30 last night, plus a few intermittent messages from the other BKA team in Chile.

The tenth message, however—one of the messages from the other team in Chile—seized Race’s attention. It screamed with the German word dringendes—‘urgent’.

Schroeder saw it, too.

He quickly tabbed down to the tenth message and hit ‘ENTER’.

A full-screen message came up. Race saw the words in German, translated them:
