Gunter shuddered.

I leaned forward. “Gunter, why did you tell him about us? We didn’t do anything to hurt you. Why did you want to hurt us?”

“I didn’t. I swear.”

“But you did. He attacked us.”

“I didn’t know he was going to do that. He said he wanted to talk to you that’s all, I swear.”

“And what did you want?”

His face went so pale that the spider veins on his nose looked like a disease.

“Answer me.” Kane’s scowl was terrifying.

Gunter’s chin quivered. “I wanted . . .”

Kane gripped Gunter’s shoulder. “What did you want?”

Gunter shook so much his jowls shivered. “Your map.”

“Why?”

“Because of the lion.”

My heart skipped a beat. “The one drawn on the map?”

His gaze darted from me to Kane.

“Tell us!” Kane kicked his foot again.

“You don’t know. Oh wow.” Gunter’s jaw dropped. “You don’t know.”

“What don’t we know?”

Gunter’s gaze fell to the floor.

“Gunter.” I eased forward on the chair. “We know about Goering’s gold and the lion emblem.”

His eyes brightened. “I can help you find it?”

“How?” I said.

“No!” Kane barked at the same time.

I glared at Kane.

Shouts rang down the hallway.

Gunter’s eyes shot to the closed door.

“Don’t even think about it,” Kane hissed. “What did you see on my map?”

Gunter sucked air through his nostrils. “The teeth.”

“What teeth?”

The shouts got louder outside the door.
