“Questioning her will not get us anywhere.” Locke shook his head and closed the door behind him. He had hoped Bonebrake’s sister would be a reliable source of information, but it was not to be.

“Are you certain? I could use some more... intense techniques.” Shears ran his hand over his shaved scalp. He wasn’t prone to the excesses that made Fisher so erratic, but efforts were not needed.

“No. She told me everything she knew, which is not much.”

“With all due respect, where’s the harm in making certain?” Shears didn’t quite meet his eye as he spoke. Clearly, he had more on his mind than gathering information.

“Torture only motivates the victim to tell you whatever they think you want to hear.” Locke kept his tone patient, though frustration was wearing on him. He dreaded his next call to Morgan. He needed a breakthrough. “Besides, if we keep her largely intact, we might possibly make use of her.”

“How do you mean?” Shears asked.

“Never mind. Just keep an eye on her and let me know when she’s fully awake. She and I are going to make a telephone call.” He left Shears to guard the cell. Dane Maddock had stolen the prize out from under his nose, but now Locke had a bargaining chip.

Returning to his office, he logged onto his computer and performed a search on Angelica Bonebrake. He had not expected to find much, perhaps a social networking page from which he could glean a few bits of useful information, but the pages of hits that filled his screen took him aback. The girl was a professional fighter and a minor celebrity.

He stroked his chin and smiled. He did not yet have a treasure to give to Morgan, but this girl’s unique set of skills would make her a perfect plaything for Morgan’s little games.
