Had it been only the policlubbers, Chase doubted he and Cara would face any real problems before actually reaching Seattle. The group looking for Cara had no American chapters. Chase knew about local political cells of Der Nachtmachen, but he'd never heard of any connections between Cara's Alte Welt and his old enemies. For Alte Welt to have any hope of intercepting them before Seattle, the group would have had no choice but to involve Fuchi. Chase had no idea how that particular relationship worked.
