Laszlo looked around for something to tie up his prisoner. “Have you got some rope, something effective to tie him up? Even zip straps?”

She walked to the kitchen. “In the hardware drawer, there was a bunch that somebody was using for something.”

He heard the drawer open as she pulled it out. A moment later she was back with the ties. He laced several together and quickly secured the man’s hands and feet; then he did something so they were secured together.

She studied them. “That’s pretty efficient. I can’t get zip straps off packages when I buy them.”

“Where the hell do you buy packages that have zip straps on them?”

“At the bulk-food store. They prepackage various flours and grains and put zip straps on them so they don’t leak. Twist ties are never quite so secure.”

He nodded. “Not a bad idea at that.” Using the table, he straightened up. He hated to admit it, but whatever the hell this guy had done had set his body back at least a day. It was Laszlo’s first rough fight since he’d returned from Afghanistan. There had been plenty of fighting there. He thought he was over it. But apparently not quite. He stretched, letting his body settle in again. He glanced at her. “Did you get any sleep?”

“Until I woke up with this asshole choking me, yes. Where did he come from?” She glanced at the apartment door and then the couch. “The guy would have had to walk past you. Did you not hear him?”

“No, I didn’t.” Laszlo walked toward her bedroom. “How does this apartment attach to the floor above?”

“It shouldn’t, should it?”

“There should have been stairs originally.”

There was a utility room in the back with the hot water heater and a fuse box. She’d taken a cursory glance from the doorway, but she hadn’t gone in.

When he went in, he found another door. “He came in through the upstairs.”

She followed him to see the door upstairs was open. “Shit. I didn’t even know that was possible.”

“It also means he did know. He’d done his homework. When he could, he came in and attacked.”

“Are we assuming then the man who trailed me is outside waiting for his partner?”

“It’s possible.” Laszlo already had his phone out, calling Geir. When the sleepy voice answered, he said, “We had an intruder. Managed to come in from an entrance we didn’t know about. I caught him strangling Minx while she slept.”

“Is she okay?” Geir asked, his voice harsh as he snapped fully awake. “Do you want me to come?”

“It’s six o’clock. And she’s fine. I have the intruder tied up. I thought maybe you’d like to join in the fun while we talk to him and see what he’s up to.”

“I’m on it. I’ll pack up the rest of our gear and grab some coffee somewhere and then head over.”

“See you in thirty then.” Laszlo hung up his phone, put it into his jeans pocket and started rifling through the intruder’s back pockets. He found a wallet with ID.
