Edward Carley’s luxury cruiser was gently rocking in the harbor at the Montauk Yacht Club, in an erratic wind that caused the numerous vessels berthed there to sway, their fittings clanging.

Dark skies and sleet had sent most of the boats’ owners scurrying back into the holds of their vessels or onto dry land to lunch in five-star restaurants. Carley had no desire to eat. He’d ordered his crew to leave him in peace as he sat in his boat’s office and cut out segments of the Washington Post.

What had happened at the Granges’ place had been front-page news; the subsequent NYPD briefing had been too late to make today’s papers, though Carley had watched it on his laptop. If Cochrane was able today to get hold of a copy of the newspaper, it would be interesting to see how he reacted. If successful, it would be the end of matters for Cochrane or would keep him on the run in a world of pain.

The former battlefield surgeon wondered how Cochrane was feeling—no doubt mentally and physically exhausted, utterly alone, and driven to help Tom. The latter was important. His yearning kept Cochrane moving. Without it, he’d hand himself in or kill himself. That could still happen, but Carley was hoping that the kidnapping would keep him on the run and in agony.

That was the objective. Prison and death would be too easy a way out. A life on the run would be a life of misery.

He called Viktor Zhukov. “The latest classified ad is now in print. We must anticipate the possibility that this will break him and he will call the police. I hope that proves not to be the case. It’s essential his voice is heard and equipment is then removed.”

He ended the call and smiled.
