RAYFORD HAD only an inkling of what Buck must be going through. It had to be different for a husband than for a father. But he couldn't put his finger on it. "Here's what we'll do," he told his soninlaw. "I have arranged with Lionel to leave us a twoseater. It's fast, but it holds only so much fuel. We'll have to take on more en route, maybe in Cypress. We'll help get everyone else out of here; then we can sit at the airstrip for all I care. Fly to the Midwest somewhere, the South. Wherever you think we'd be closest to Chloe." "And do what?"

"We can take that little satellite TV and keep in touch with Mac and Otto and Krystall, see if we can get a clue," Rayford said.

"You just want to be on the same continent when she dies, is that what you're telling me?"

"Well, uh, no"

"Dad, think about it. I don't fly planes. You don't have a backup pilot. Neither of us is military. You've got a twoseat plane for two guys, so there's no thought of springing Chloe and bringing her along." Rayford sat and held his head in his hands. "I don't know what else to do, Buck. I'm not leaving the States with her still in custody. But unless we find out where she is, I'm not putting a crew on it either." "Where're we going to go?"

"How about Wisconsin, where Zeke was? He tells me the GC never nose around. It's fairly central, so if we do get word, we can be on our way quick."

Jock led Chloe to a dimly lit room about a hundred paces from her cell. "It's just you and me tonight, ma'am. No playing off the other cop, no bright lights in your eyes, no pressure." But when she saw where she was supposed to sit, a steel chair bolted to the floor with leather straps on the legs and armrests, she said, "No, it won't be just you and me, Jock." "What do you mean?"

"You alone cannot strap me into that chair." "I think I could, but you wouldn't like it." "And I'd make you wish you hadn't done it alone. I'm not getting strapped down for any reason unless I'm overpowered. Uhuh." "How about we try this the easy way?" he said. "How about we just talk awhile and see if you need restraining?"

"No truth serum?"

"Not if you cooperate."

"I can tell you right now I won't."

"I can't persuade you to rethink this, be nice, help yourself?" "No sir. For one thing, I have to use the ladies' room, and I won't even be sitting, let alone strapped in, until then." Jock sighed and walked her farther down the hall. "As you can imagine," he said, "there's no window in a prison john. The only way out is the way in, and I'll be waiting."

Mac was on the phone to Rayford from high over the Atlantic in the middle of the night. "When is Weser going to be at the palace?"

"By eight A.
