"The cellular company proved intractable. We're still working on it."

"I think you have the records. I think you know where Lynski is right now."

"And not tell you and Ogden?"

"Where is he?"

"Really, Ishmaru, that would be very foolish of me. I know how badly you want—" He inhaled sharply as he felt the blade of a knife dig painfully into his nape. "Don't be hasty. I was going to tell you eventually. I was waiting for the right time. Lynski's using a digital phone now. We can't listen in on digital, and I haven't been able to gain access to his new phone records yet. We don't want just him. We want Smith and the woman. If you blunder right now, you'll mess up everything."

"I won't blunder. He'll tell me what you want to know. Where is he?"

Blount broke into a sweat. If he told him, Ishmaru might think his usefulness over and cut his throat. If he didn't, the crazy dick might still do it. "Perhaps you're right. Maybe waiting isn't the way to go. But there's always a chance that Smith and Dr. Denby have split up. If they have, you'll need my help to locate the woman." He could feel the blood dripping down his neck, and he added quickly, "I'm working on a few leads now that look promising. Naturally, I'll be at your disposal. After all, we're on the same team."

"Where is Lynski?"

"Brenden Arms Hotel. Georgetown. He's registered under the name of Carl Wylie." The knife in his flesh was not withdrawn. His hands clenched on the steering wheel. "Yes, by all means, go to Lynski, but keep me informed. In the meantime I'll work on the other lead I have. Okay?"

Silence. "Okay."

The knife wasn't there anymore. He felt sick with relief and rage. Damn the bastard for making him feel this weak and ineffectual. "But give me a few days to see if I can find out any more information from the phone company. It won't hurt you to just watch him for a day or so. Will you do me that favor?"

"Maybe." Ishmaru was getting out of the car. He stood beneath the harsh lights of the parking garage, staring without expression at Blount. "Don't lie to me again."

"It wasn't really a lie. I was just waiting to—"

Ishmaru walked away, ignoring him as if he were a fly he'd just swatted. Rage tore through Blount. He'd have the fucking asshole killed. He'd call his father and tell him to—No, that was his father's way. Blount knew that you didn't kill because of anger. You killed because it was smart.

He took out his handkerchief and dabbed at his bloody neck. How had Ishmaru gotten into the garage anyway? He'd fire that incompetent jerk in Security. He felt a little better at the decision. After all, his power was still intact.

This was only a setback. He'd regain control. He'd find a way to use Ishmaru to get RU2.

And then he'd castrate the fucking jerk and have him tossed in Puget Sound.
