Inside the Cups charm we find a miniature flashlight, the tiny kind you’d keep on a keychain. Then, inside the Pentacle charm, we find a folded piece of paper listing the four Minor Arcana suits, with corresponding symbols. I instantly recognize these symbols, because each Major Arcana card in our deck is painted with a unique one. Looking first at Wands, I recognize the symbol for The Magician: a tree branch wand.

Feeling set on fire, I rifle through the tarot deck as quickly as I can until I find The Magician. Looking over the card, I spot the familiar symbol.

“Amelia, the flashlight?” Cleo suggests.

Nodding at her, I grab the mini-flashlight that was hidden inside the Cups charm. Squeezing it to shine on The Magician symbol, I gasp all over again.

I quickly learn this is no ordinary flashlight—it’s a black light. Shining it on The Magician symbol on the card, it suddenly reveals writing that must have been printed in invisible UV ink. Then, looking closer, I see this writing is actually two sets of numbers. No, not numbers…

GPS coordinates.

Once I fill the others in on this finding, it only takes Cleo a few seconds to search the coordinates on her phone. Sure enough, she pulls up a general location: the Joshua Tree Inn, which happens to be only a few miles from this diner.

I could scream, I’m so excited. I wonder if Maggie knew about this hidden function when he gave us this toolset, but I suppose it doesn’t really matter—the clues hidden inside would be useless without our Magician card. I then realize we can repeat this process to find the locations of the other three missing cards, using the toolset and the card symbols that they designate in our deck.

I raise my eyes to look at Chase grinning. I might have been the one to make this discovery, but his research led us down this path. Complementary halves.

“Okay, now I am legitimately freaked out,” Cleo says.

“There’s no reason to be freaked,” Logan responds. “We’re obviously meant to find this card. The universe’s signs are just particularly clear in this case.”

“Well, I don’t think we’re meant to do anything,” I finally say. I’m no longer reading Logan’s cards, so enough is enough. “I think us seeing signs everywhere really just shows how much we all want to search for the cards.”

“Amelia, come on,” Logan deadpans, as if already expecting this reaction. “The Empress pull leading us to Maggie’s shop. The Four of Wands in the qualities required position. The Prince of Wands, the closest missing card, in the achievement position. Us already heading east to Joshua Tree. How can that not all be somehow connected, somehow meant to be?”

Listening to Logan, passion explodes in me, shooting sparks across my mind.
