False Horizon - Alex Archer [108]
Mike started the engine and drove back out onto the street. “Look, I know it might take you a while to get through what I’m asking you to do, but I’ve got something that might take your mind off of that.”
Annja almost laughed out loud. “And what, pray tell, is that?”
Mike tossed something into the backseat. Annja picked it up and saw that it was a laminated map. She unfolded it. After a moment, she looked back up. “Is this what I think it is?”
Mike nodded. “Yep.”
Annja smiled. “I don’t know if I should go looking for another Shangri-La so soon after this one.”
“Annja, this is the real thing! Honest! I got this map from a friend of mine who swears the real Shangri-La is in the Kunlun Mountains. Hey, it’s better than the Himalayas, right? Not nearly as cold there. Well, maybe it is cold there, too, but you know…”
Mike kept talking, but Annja just stared out the window. She was headed to the airport, that much was certain.
But beyond that, she had no idea.
