As we walked to the car, I asked Trisha to wait a few seconds. I decided to crank into Jane, because if she thought the heat was off this kidnapping—and I could tell she’d eased up a touch in her mind—I wanted to make sure she reconsidered.

“A straight kidnap for ransom,” I said. “Probably with help from inside.”

Jane narrowed her eyes, said nothing.

“Pay up, and the crooks will spit up. Simple, job done. Is that it?”

Still the detective said nothing, but I sensed her fear returning.

“Unfortunately it doesn’t always work that way, does it? Think about it. What would happen if—”

“You don’t have to spell it out.”

But I did, because sometimes fear sets in only when the words are spoken, so I sallied forth. “I hope Brandy is bright enough not to let on if she knows who her captors are. What do you think would happen to her? What if Trisha Liam pays up, and Brandy’s body is found in a ditch? Or six months from now, her bones—”

“That’s enough!”

“Remember what Trisha said about ruining you. And she can, too.” I held up crossed fingers. “I know she and the chief are like this.”

My good deed done for the day, I walked back to Trisha’s car. But my words hung in my head. I mean, what would happen to my sanity, let alone to my business, to me and Denny, if, in fact, Trisha Liam paid up, and her daughter was found dead or never found at all? That would surely happen if the kidnappers thought the teen recognized them, or if they felt our heat. The Brandy Liam case would gnaw at me forever. In short, all our titties were in a sling.
