CHAPTER 23 - Deny, deny, deny

Tanner excused himself from the card game he was in, as Sara pretended to nag him about his drinking, and afterwards, they returned to their suite after a day spent playing rich and clueless tourists.

Sara locked the door and let out a sigh.

“I think the guests and the staff certainly know we’re here, but what do you really think the odds are that we’ll be kidnapped?”

“I’m not sure of the odds, but I say we give this some time before trying something else.”

“Fine, but Jenny has been gone for days and I can only imagine what she’s going through.”

“It’s the best I could think of, but there are no guarantees.”

Sara stifled a yawn.

“I’m tired, do you mind if I shower first?”

“No, and I’ll be out on the balcony enjoying the quiet. Today was noisier than I’m used to.”

Sara smiled.

“I don’t think you stopped talking for more than a minute.”

“Yes, Robert Coleman is a big mouth with too many dollars and not enough sense.”

“And what part was I playing?”

“You’re my trophy wife.”

Sara made a face.

“I suppose that’s better than being called the old ball and chain.”

Sleep eluded both of them for a time, as they waited to see if their playacting would bear fruit. If it did, that meant that they might be attacked and abducted at any moment.

“Tanner.”

“Yeah?”

“Remember, don’t fight back, just let them take us.”

“Don’t worry, and try to appear afraid.”

“I won’t have to act, trust me.”

“You’re the bravest woman I know, Blake, and you’re smart, if you weren’t, I’d have killed you the first time I tried.”

“I was just driven by hate and it made me too stupid to be afraid.”

“We should get some sleep.”

“Right, goodnight,”

They became silent, but neither of them would fall asleep until more than another hour had passed.

***

After their visit to see Krupin, Tamir and Justina visited the Cabaret Strip Club, where Sammy Giacconi escorted the FBI agents into the office and offered them seats in front of Joe’s desk.

Sammy was about to leave when Joe told him to stay, and the young man grabbed a folding chair and sat beside Joe behind the desk.

Tamir made a show of looking around.

“Where are your lawyers, Pullo?”

Joe smiled.

“Knowing those bums, they’re probably out playing golf.”

“Michael Krupin had six lawyers with him, what do you think of that?”

“I think I should have went to law school with suckers like Krupin around.”

“I did go to law school and let me tell you, you didn’t miss anything. Now, as you probably know, I’m here to ask you about the pipe bombs that went off inside the warehouses earlier this week, because we have reason to believe that you were behind it. That also makes you responsible for the deaths of eighty-two men.”

Joe said nothing and Tamir and Justina looked at each other.

“What do you think, Justina?”

“I think that Mr. Pullo is too smart to open his mouth and he doesn’t need a lawyer to tell him to keep it shut.”

“I agree.”

Joe smiled at them.

“You two want a drink?”

Tamir waved the offer off.
