Kat was still trembling when they all walked back into the suite she and Mike were sharing.

“Kitten, you have to eat something,” Mike insisted. “You’ll never be able to get through a remote viewing session if you’re not at full strength.”

“At least Brent Fontaine won’t be bothering you anymore,” Faith pointed out. “Thank God for that.”

Kat blew out a breath. “That’s the truth.” She looked at Mike. “I know I should have told you about him before. But we had just connected again after all this time, and I wasn’t sure—”

“Hush.” He smiled at her. “We can talk about it later. And let’s see what Wagner finds out about him, too. Meanwhile let me order you a sandwich, take a minute to relax, and then we’ll lay out the pictures and see what happens.”

“Message from Andy,” Mark told them. He’d been checking his cell while they talked. “What’s up?” he asked into the phone. “Uh-huh. Yeah. Holy shit. Okay. Send them to Mike’s laptop. It’s already set up. Do it now.”

Three sets of eyes turned to him.

“Give,” Mike said.

“Andy cracked the code on the emails sent to the three men. He said . . .” Mark stopped and looked at Kat.

“Tell me,” she demanded. “I don’t care how bad it is. It’s worse not knowing anything.”

Mike put an arm around her and pulled her tight against his body.

“Okay, here it is. There was video attached to the email, showing the Wrights and Mari. They were holding a newspaper so the date was visible. The first message told them the hostages were unharmed and to watch for the next email.”

“They’re alive.” Kat couldn’t hide her relief. “Thank God for that.” But then she saw the tight look on Mark’s face. “That’s not all, is it? There’s more. You can tell me, Mark.”

“The second video showed them, but this time . . .” He stopped, then started again. “This time Sydney Wright had a long cut on her face, and Mari sported a wide bruise on her temple.”

Kat leaned into Mark, determined not to show any weakness. Whatever threats she was facing, Mari was strong and would hang on until Phoenix could rescue them.

“What did the second message say?” Mike asked.

“They want ten million, cash. Watch for the next email with instructions.”

“You can bet they won’t ask to have it dropped off in a large suitcase. They’ll want a wire transfer, and that may be what leads us to them.”

Mark dropped his phone on the small table. “Possible, if Andy is ready to track it. He tried tracing the email back by hitting Reply and attempting to send them a message, but it just bounced back. I think they’re shutting it down on the other end once the email gets through. But I say we need to find them before the ransom drop. We have no assurances that . . .” Again he paused.

“That they won’t kill the hostages,” Kat finished for him. “I’m well aware of that, Mark. And I’m going to do what I can to help you pinpoint their location.
