Wolfgang didnât know how long heâd been out when consciousness finally returned. His head pounded like a drum, sending pulsing agony ripping through his skull, down his spine, and to every end of his body.
Screw me.
He sat on a rock-hard floor made of wood planks fit close together, with his arms wrenched behind him and fastened to the wall. A metal roof blocked out the night sky, and brick walls surrounded him. So, he was inside a shack, then. Tied up and left alone.
Megan. Whereâs Megan?
Panic overcame him. He sat up, and his vision cleared, then he jerked at the bonds that held his arms against the wall. His muscles ached, and his head swam, but the fear he felt overcame all of that. He imagined Megan in the mud again, pinned down by the Red Command, stretched out andâ
âWolfgang! Be still, dammit.â
Wolfgang froze and shook his head to clear it. His mind still felt fuzzy, but he recognized the voice. He turned toward the voice and saw Megan sitting directly beside him, her hands tied behind her in similar fashion.
âOh God,â he said. âI thought they had you.â
Megan smirked. âIâd say they do.â
âYou know what I mean.â
He leaned back, resting his pounding head against the bricks. The best he could tell, his hands were bound with wire ties to some kind of metal ring or maybe a pipeâsomething mounted to or running out of the masonry.
âHow long have we been here?â
âFew hours. The Lego dude had them throw us in here, then they all left.â
âThe Lego dude?â
âI believe you called him Brazilian John Cena.â
Wolfgang forced a little laugh. âI thought you were unconscious.â
âFaking it. Itâs not a lot of fun to rape an unconscious woman.â
Smart girl.
âYou have to admit,â Wolfgang said, âthe dude kinda looks like a Brazilian John Cena.â
âSure. But I like John Cena.â
Wolfgang grinned. âAnd I like Legos.â
âHa. You never despair, do you?â
Wolfgang shrugged. It wasnât much of a gesture with his hands bound. âWhatâs the point of that? Anything could change.â
âRight . . . but it doesnât look good.â
No, it doesnât. It looks like weâre neck-deep in quicksand.
Wolfgang decided to change the subject to a slightly more hopeful topic. âI wonder if Edric and Kevin got out okay.â
âIâm sure they figured something out. Iâve been thinking about that, and I think I figured out why our radios failed. When the Brazilian police stormed the favela, they mustâve run some kind of radio jammer to inhibit the Red Command. It locked us up, too.â
âMakes sense. Which makes you wonder . . .â
âWonder what?â
Wolfgang sat up. âIt makes you wonder if this whole thing was a setup. Whoever kidnapped Rose had to know weâd make a play to recover her. By setting the deadline for their demands to be met, they established a window wherein they could predict the time of our rescue attempt. Assuming they knew about the GPS tracker in Roseâs necklace, they could also predict the location of our attempt.â
Megan nodded slowly. âRight. All they had to do was plant the necklace someplace where weâd be caught in the crossfire.
