Colin wasn’t going to wait for the ex-cop. The farm was in the countryside, in a decimated town, perfect cover for all kinds of illicit activities. This reeked of Solien’s handiwork. He’d like nothing better than to kill all three of the hired henchmen. Yes they were human but on the wrong side. Therefore, fair game. But maybe a little chat first.

Dematerializing to the northwest corner of the farm, Colin appeared directly behind the first man. He’d just rounded the building out of sight of the others providing perfect cover for what he had in mind. Lifting the man up by the back of his coat, he cranked his other arm around the guy’s windpipe cutting off any call for help. “Answer my questions and I will let you go. Nod once if you understand.”

The man nodded.

“I want to know about the children held captive here.” Releasing his grip enough to allow his feet to touch the ground and for him to speak, Colin waited.

“Yeah, there were kids here. What do you want to know?”

Excellent. Cooperation was a good sign. “Tell me about this place, where the kids were moved to and if you’ve seen this child in particular.” Colin pulled Mark’s photo from his inside coat pocket. Releasing him, he faced the minion, pushing the image into his face. “Look closely.”

“Aye. I seen the lad.”

“Before you tell me about him, answer my earlier inquiries.”

The man put his hands on his knees, taking great breaths of air into his aching lungs. “We were sent here to guard the kids. It’s a temporary holding location. Once we have a good number they get sent someplace in Edinburgh. That’s all I know about this place, I just work here.”

“Of course you’re not responsible for anything. Tell me about Mark.”

“I didn’t know his name, but I seen the kid in the picture. I remember because he and another boy got shot—” Colin punched the man in the gut, doubling him over.

“Not by me!” He gasped. “Was one of the others. Happened yesterday. The kids were hit trying to escape, they’re dead. We told Solien we checked but it was raining and none of us wanted to go out in the muck. By the way they fell when shot, was obvious they were gone. Why traipse all over to tell them what we already knew?” He pointed away from the building towards a house in the distance. “Please. I told you everything you wanted to know, let me go.”

Minions. He hated them. If he let this one go, he’d tell Solien about this little visit. Couldn’t do to have word get out. Colin blasted an energy bolt through the man’s spine, killing him instantly. The man’s body went rigid, then limp. Dragging him out of sight, Colin dematerialized to the front of the farmhouse where the second man was standing guard. Manifesting an ice dagger, he stabbed the man through the eye, the blade penetrating into the brain, dropping the man like a stone. A mobile rang.
