In the lobby, King and his men listened to Knight’s report, all of them stunned.

‘Pawn and Hearts are dead, sir.’

‘What?’

‘There was a shootout on 22. Pawn bought it in the stairwell, Hearts in the corridor. Both took a burst to the chest. They tore up an apartment and the hallway. Looks like the fight went all over the place.’

‘That’s four of our guys down,’ King said quietly, more to himself than anyone else. Releasing the pressel, he whirled on Castle, Spades and Bishop, who were standing behind him. ‘How the hell are these people still alive?’

‘It’s not that easy,’ Bishop said. ‘This place is big. There’re still residents here, too.’

‘So? Are we all on the same page? Do you understand the consequences if that girl leaves this building alive?’

None of them responded.

‘So what the hell are you waiting for? Get upstairs and find them!’

As they headed off, he pushed down the pressel.

‘Everyone, get your shit together,’ he ordered. ‘Search every apartment room by room; I don’t care if it takes all night. Pull your fingers out of your asses and find these people. Don’t come back down here until you do.’

King released the switch, cursing again. He was left alone with the four gunmen he’d hired for the ambush on the street. They’d all listened to the exchange between King and his men, picking up on what had happened, but none of them said a word. The man armed with the AK-47 was cautiously peering out of the shattered hole where a glass pane on the front door had been, his concerns not on finding the girl, but on figuring out an escape and getting out of here alive. It looked like most of the NYPD were outside. He had no idea how the hell he was going to get out, and the cocaine up his nose wasn’t exactly helping him think clearly.

‘We’re running out of time,’ he said. ‘The pigs are gonna try to get in again soon.’

Furious, King went to reply but Braeten suddenly cut him off.

‘Hold on a second,’ he said sharply.

‘What?’ King spat back. ‘Your brain finally switched on?’

Turning to him, Braeten smiled, ignoring the slight.

Something Bishop just said had given him an idea.

‘I know how we can find her.’

‘What?’

‘I know how we can find the girl.’
