“I told you already, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was alone in the house.” The man—the others called him Fuller—smiled grimly and shook his head. “His suitcase was there. We know he was with you.”

“I stole it,” she lied. “He’d been hounding me for months. I thought I might find out why if I took his things and went through them.” She tried to keep her chin up, defiantly. She forced her sagging spine stiffer. She had to be strong, but she couldn’t help but wonder where Ramsey had gone. Maybe the dogs had come early. Maybe he’d found them and run away from her while she’d slept. God, she hoped that was the case. She’d arranged with old Kirkland to turn the dogs loose on the third day, knowing they’d make a beeline for her home. If Ramsey found them, if he knew how to use them, he’d be okay. They knew the way to Kirkland’s hangar as well as they knew each other.

Fuller turned to the thin, dark one. “What do you think of that, Whaley?”

“I think she’s lying.”

“I’m not.” She blinked and tried to think of a way to convince them, but only came up blank. “Why are you after him, anyway? I thought he was one of you.”

“So did he—” Whaley began, but his reply was cut off by a swift look from Fuller.

The third man sat in a chair, silent. He didn’t appear to have the same stomach for abuse his two colleagues shared.

“You’re going to have to tell us, Miss Jade. We can’t go back to headquarters without him.” She sagged inwardly. They were taking her there. And if they did, she’d die. She could have called mentally, begged others of her kind to come to her aid. But with this tranquilizer in DPI’s arsenal, any who tried to help her might end up sharing her fate. She didn’t want to die with that on her conscience.

God, if only she knew Ramsey was all right.

Fuller’s hand disappeared into his pocket. It came out with a big, shiny pair of pliers. He opened and closed their ridged teeth slowly, right in front of her face. Then he handed them to Whaley, who moved around behind her.

“Begin with the little finger of her left hand,” Fuller said matter-of-factly. “Crush it.” She felt the cold instrument touch her finger. “Wait! All right. All right, I’ll tell you the truth.” The tool moved away from her hand. Fuller looked down at her, smiling grimly. “That’s more like it.

Where is he?”

Kirkland brought the plane in expertly at a small airport.

“This is it? This is where they landed?”

“Nope.”

Ramsey drew a sharp breath and waited. Kirkland had already explained that he’d been able to track the other plane with the sonar equipment back at his hangar. But the guy was a man of few words.
