CHAPTER EIGHT

THE INTERROGATION

“Remove the tape from their mouths,” Tia said.

Furukawa did as instructed, ripping the tape off of our mouths.

“Christ, that hurt,” I said, shaking my head from side to side. “Care to tell me what this is all about?”

“Damn, that stings,” Leecy added. “What the hell, lady? First, we’re tazed and now what? You’re going to torture us?”

“Hey,” Val said, “I think you need to be aware of something. You need to review the CCP Human Resources manual, ‘cause I’m pretty sure you’re violating every code in the book.”

“Shut up,” Tia said. “That’s enough.” Walking toward me, she added, “I’ll do the talking from now on. And the first thing I want to talk about is you, Peter Heely.”

“What about me?”

“I’ll tell you what I now know to be true.”

“Well, as you can see, I’m not going anywhere so take your time.”

“Always with the jokes. We’ll see who’s laughing soon enough.”

“Sure,” I said, “let’s hear the truth as you know it. But first, tell me just how much crazy should I factor in.”

Smiling and ignoring my comment, she said, “You, Peter Heely, are with the CIA.”

“Really, since when? ‘Cause last time I checked, I’m Peter Heely, mercenary for hire.”

She began circling me slowly. “Peter Heely is what men in your line of

work call a cover identity.”

“My line of work? I’m a mercenary for hire. We’ve been over this. What are you talking about, anyway? Where’s this coming from? Don’t you remember? You ran my fingerprints. You know who I am. I’m Peter Heely.”

Grabbing a fist full of hair and pulling back on my head, forcing me to look at her, she said, “Stop lying to me, or I’ll lose my temper and kill you like I killed your man at the train station.”

Looking at her upside down, I said, “First off, threatening to kill the person you want to make talk is counterproductive. If the prisoner thinks there’s no chance of walking away, what reason does he have to be cooperative? See, it’s mistakes like the one you just made that make working with amateurs futile. And now you tell me you killed someone at the train station? Why? Because you thought he worked with me? You met my team, and I’m the only man on the team. Sorry, lady, but you killed a bystander. You murdered a tourist or a local, not anyone I know. Where’s this line of questioning coming from, anyway? Why do you think I work with the CIA?”

“Stop lying,” she seethed, letting go of my hair and slapping the back of my head before spinning me around in the chair to face her.

Facing in the opposite direction, I could see Leecy’s face. She was now on my left. I winked at her, trying to assure her everything would be okay as Tia continued.

“Did you search them, Mr. Furukawa?” Tia asked, walking toward Leecy.

“Yes.”

“And what did you find?”

“The women were carrying guns, but we knew they’d be armed. We expected to find weapons. Heely isn’t carrying a weapon.
