In the basement of the Ridgeway safehouse, Raymond watched Mikey in the special room through the two-way mirror. A TV with a game console stood against one wall. The toilet and sink were in the far corner. A McDonald’s bag sat on a shelf in front of a small sliding door. But Mikey wasn’t eating or playing a game. He just sat on the sofa fidgeting.

Raymond spoke over the speaker. “Relax, kid. No one in your family was hurt. You don’t have to believe me. Turn on the TV and look at the news.”

Mikey glanced around until he found the speaker the voice was coming from. “Let me out of here.”

“I know you’re uncomfortable, but no one is going to hurt you. You’re too valuable. Your gramps will pay, and you’ll be back with your family tomorrow. So relax, eat, sleep. Tomorrow will be here before you know it.”

Raymond turned to Hernandez. “We need to make sure someone is down here watching this kid all the time. Nothing happens to him.”

“He can’t get out.”

“What if he tries to hurt himself? Somebody watches him all the time.”

Raymond went up the stairs. Koenig was sitting in the dining room, working at his laptop computer, double-checking the routes and details for the exchange. “How is he?”

“Quiet. He hasn’t eaten anything.”

“Get a pint of ice cream out of the freezer. The one with the chocolate swirls. I bet he’ll eat some of that.”

“Good idea.”

“There’s nothing to worry about, Raymond. The kid’s not going to get hurt. Before the end of the month, he’ll be bragging to his friends about how tough he was.”

Raymond nodded toward the computer. “Everything check out?”

“We’re set. The exchange site, the next safe house, all the details in between have the usual redundancies.”

“We lost two guys on the island. Plus Lulu and JB. And three guys are missing.”

“It was to be expected. None of them can talk because they don’t know anything. We still have five guys, as well as you and Hernandez, moving forward. Tomorrow we make the exchange. Then everything gets easier.”

“I’ll take Hernandez to make the exchange. The kid trusts me, and Hernandez is our best guy.”

Koenig shook his head. “That’s why Hernandez has to stay with me. Anything goes sideways, I might need him. You take Sanchez. The kid’s already seen him.”
