“You and your crew aren’t slipping through our fingers this time. And if I’m not mistaken, you were behind those other kidnappings too. If we tie you to those… death penalty. No question about it.”

His voice was flat, but the weight of his words hit hard.

Rachel felt a jolt of fear, but she quickly masked it. She was a veteran at this. She knew how to handle the heat.

Penelope, on the other hand, was crumbling beside her.
