As Recker waited for news from Tyrell, he paced around the room, as he often did. Jones sighed as he passed him a few times. The pacing drove him crazy, and sometimes was distracting for him, though he knew it often calmed Recker down.

“Will you just sit down and work on something?” Jones said.

“How can I work on something when I know Tyrell might have the answer to this whole thing now?”

“He’ll call when he has something.”

“I didn’t even get a time. I should’ve asked what time he was meeting this guy.”

“Or woman.”

“Whatever. You know what I meant.”

“You said he was waiting for someone to contact him. There might not have been a specific time. Maybe he’s still waiting.”

“Why don’t you try calling him again and see what’s up?” Haley asked.

“Tried a few minutes ago,” Recker said. “Went to voicemail. Whenever his phone goes straight to voicemail, that usually means he’s tied up with something.”

“Well then just wait for him to call,” Jones said.

“That’s what I’m doing.” Recker continued walking around the room.

“I meant by doing something else.”

“This calms me.”

“You don’t say?”

When Recker’s phone started ringing on the desk, he stopped his pacing and dashed for it. He was slightly disappointed to see that it wasn’t Tyrell. But maybe Malloy had something useful for him.

“Hope this is short,” Recker said. “I’m kinda in the middle of something.”

“Does what you’re in the middle of involve Tyrell?”

“How do you know?”

“Just got a message from him.”

“What? Why would you get a message from him?”

“I don’t know. Apparently he’s in some kind of trouble.”

“What kind of trouble?”

“I don’t know.”

“What’s the message?”

“It came into one of my guys, who passed it along to me. Looks like he’s been taken.”

“Taken? By who?”

“Message doesn’t say,” Malloy answered. “Just says to give this message to you. Says if you want Tyrell back unharmed, to come to the Doublemint Hotel, room 648, alone.”

“What time?”

“Tonight. Eleven PM.”

“Who sent it?”

“Apparently it came from Tyrell’s phone, so whoever grabbed him must have known his connections. What’s going on? What was he doing?”

“Working on the Sadko thing. Said he was close to figuring out who was behind it all. Was supposed to be meeting with someone and then he’d know.”

“Well, I’d say he found out now.”

“The message say anything else?”

“Just says to come alone, no tricks on either side.”

“Sounds like they just wanna talk.”

“If you believe them at their word.”

“Not sure if I have a choice.”

“There’s always a choice.”

“There isn’t when someone’s life is at stake.”

“Sure there is,” Malloy said. “Just depends on how much you value it.”

“There’s no choice to make on this one.”

“Well, if you need me on this one, you know where to find me.”

“Thanks.” Recker put the phone down and looked at his partners. “We got a problem.”
