CHAPTER SEVEN – Lukas

My senses were on full alert. There was something in those pictures that had been missed. Or maybe it wasn't that it had been missed, but it had been seen. When Billy pulled out the bear trap that didn't have the symbol etched into it, I knew something was wrong. Someone was concealing the evidence of who was involved with Markus’s death. I wasn't going to stand for that. Maren trailed behind us as Billy and I approached the cells.

"I want to know where Joshua is," I said. I didn't even give the scumbags a chance to stand up and come to the bars.

"We need to be a bit more subtle about this, Lukas," Billy said. Maren had given me the clue I needed to push forward. I was glad that she convinced me to let her help. She might have her own questions for her kidnappers. But right now, I just needed to know a couple of things. Why were they in town? What kind of trouble were they up to? Were there more than the two of them and Joshua?

"Patience, Lukas," Maren said softly. I knew she was trying to keep me calm. It wasn't my strong suit, but I knew that she was right. For once, I had to think first. I couldn't go barging into the cells demanding answers as much as I wanted to. I had to start with a bit more of a subtle hand. It was an approach more like Billy’s, even though I hated to admit it. I decided to hang back and let Billy take the lead.

There was one man in each one of the cells in front of us. It might have been hard for people who knew me before to believe, but I hadn't spent a lot of time in the cell block of the Greyelf Police Department contrary to popular belief. Greyelf was a small town, and there wasn't a lot of trouble on most days. So it looked odd to even have two of the five cells occupied. Neither one of the men stood up when they saw us standing there.

I finally had a good look at them. The details of their physical appearances hadn’t registered in my mind the night before. I have been only concerned with getting Maren away from them and off to safety. Now that I could see them up close, they looked rather… ordinary.

They couldn’t have been more than kids, in their early twenties at most. But the thing that gave them the initial appearance of being older than their age was their size. I was tall. But even sitting down I could tell that these two were almost as tall as me. I could see why they would have been able to easily keep Maren in line.

They looked at me, and I looked them. It was obvious that the feeling of contempt was mutual based on the expressions on their faces.

"Tell you what guys, you'll get out of here a lot faster if you cooperate and answer the man’s question," Billy said.
