Fenton and Frank Hardy sat in Chief Collig's office with Con Riley.
'Are you sure about this?' Fenton asked worried.
'Almost' Collig answered.
'Almost is not enough' Fenton said.
'There is no life under those trapdoor, except insects. The new roentgen machine is very good, it doesn't lie' Collig said.
'But there might be life there when you explode it' Frank pointed out.
'We'll just make sure that there won't be' Collig said calmly.
'The protection of the environment is not going to be happy about this, it's a huge area' Con Riley said.
'I can't find any other way' the chief said.
'Why don't you let us take a look at this, Frank and his friends can be very useful when it comes to something that the police can't do' Fenton said.
'You've been sneaking around there for a week now, Fenton! Nothing happens, what makes you think it's going to change?' Collig raised his voice in impatience.
'I don't know' Fenton answered. 'All right, you're right. But make absolutely sure that there will be no mistakes with the roentgen scan.'
'Of course, what do you think we are?' Collig said.
'Yes, yes, sorry' Fenton said.
Collig nodded. 'Riley, call the local government and protection of the environment and ask for permission to do this. They can answer in matter of a day.'
Con Riley stood up and went out but came back right away.
'Frank, Tony Prito is asking of you' he said.
Frank excused himself and went out.
'Hey, Tony. What's up?'
'I was about to ask you the same question' Tony said. 'Is there nothing new?'
Frank shook his head. 'Nothing except they're going to explode the place by the river.'
Tony's eyes went wide open. 'I think that's quite much.'
'Shit!' he thought.
'Oh, well. We'll just wait 'till that's done. Then we can search there' Frank shrugged. 'I'm just worried about that there could be someone under it.'
'Right' Tony muttered. 'Hey, you know what, I really should get going, see ya later!'
He ran to the door but nearly got it in his face when someone opened it from the outside.
'Ooo, geez, I'm sorry! Are you all right?' someone said.
'Yeah, fine' Tony answered.
'Hello, Randy' Frank said to Randy Cline who had almost broken Tony's nose. 'How are you?'
'I'm all right. Have you found out who...?' Randy asked but didn't finish the question.
'I'm afraid not, this is getting kinda complicated' Frank answered.
'Bye!' Tony said and rushed out.
'I need to tell you something, I'm sure you won't like it but...' Randy began.
'What is it?' Frank asked. They sat down at an empty desk.
'Just so you know, I'm not lying, but when Sarah was killed I saw...' he took a deep breathe. 'I saw your brother with her, they went up to the second floor where the beds are, just before she was found...' Randy looked at Frank and tried to see if he thought he was lying.
'But she was found in the restroom...' Frank said but suddenly remembered that Doctor Miller had said that the body had been moved to the toilet booth from some place.
'And I also saw Luise go there soon after them, though she was working that night. But she looked very much like her, I've heard she has a sister, maybe...' Randy added.
Those new information were confusing. Frank didn't want to believe it but it fitted too well, and besides Joe had been acting strange for a long time and what was he doing with the Walker sisters, anyway? Frank shook these thoughts away.
'Thank you, Randy. How come haven't you told me this before?'
'I...' Randy took another deep breathe. 'I was threatened to keep this to me. He said he'd hurt my family if I'd tell someone...' he blinked a few times.
'He?' Frank repeated. 'Any idea who?'
Randy Cline shook his head. 'He just called and told me to share no information, and when you came to talk to me in the factory they put wires to the office to guarantee I wouldn't blab anything. They stalked on me for a while but then they stopped and I haven't heard from them for some time.'
'I see' Frank said. 'Would you mind telling Collig and my father this?'
'I'd prefer not. I'm sure they're listening to us now and I'm in enough danger and my family too so I think I should go, let me know if I'm right and I'm sorry if I'm wrong' Randy said, stood up and left Frank confused.
When he was out of the police station he was relieved, better later than never.
He looked at his watch. Oops! He had an appointment at his psychologist and he was late.
He walked to his car and went in. When he was going to start the car he realized that the keys were missing. Odd. Before he could do anything else he felt a cold, sharp, tip sung in the back of his head. He felt something liquid stream into his neck, his head got heavier, his thoughts got cloudy and his eyes closed.
'That was a wrong thing to do, Randy.' -------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony went out of the car. He opened the trunk the pulled the limp body out of it.
'Uuh, wow. You're heavy!' he said to Randy, who, of course, didn't hear him. He walked to the hidden trapdoor and kicked it.
It opened and strong hands attuned Randy and carried him down and Tony climbed down and closed the trapdoor over him.
'Ah, Drew will be happy to have company, don't you think?' Luise's voice said when they were all the way down, but she had obviously been waiting.
'He talks too much' she said. 'Make sure he can't escape.' ------------------------------------------- He took the pill and put it under his tongue, then he took a bottle of water and was about to swallow when heard someone come in.
Julia entered the room quietly. 'They don't do any good, Joe' she said.
He looked at her. 'You don't know, you don't take it.'
'It's just like any other drug' she argued.
'I need it. Otherwise I can't sleep' he said.
'It's a long time since you've tried to sleep naturally. Do it for me, try' she begged.
He looked into her eyes. 'All right, for you.'
-'And yourself.'
He snorted but spit the pill to the dustbin.
She looked at him with flirting eyes. 'Now that your awake, we can have real fun' she said as she stepped closer to him.
'I should have known you'd...' he didn't get a chance to finish the sentence because she attacked him with her lips. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Nancy had been trying to loose the chains that held her down. They were safely molten into the walls and all she could do was getting her wrist red and bum. Eventually she gave up and laid still and hoped that Frank would find her soon. Now she heard some noise and stretched her head to see what was going on.
Some men came into the hall with a limp body between them.
After them Luise and Tony came in.
'Hello, Nancy. We brought you a friend, what do you think?' Tony said cheerfully.
Nancy didn't answer. She looked at the man. Randy Cline!
'He doesn't look like a vivid company' she said dryly.
'No, not now but when he wakes up I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about' Tony said.
Luise finished chaining Randy. 'Stop this gibberish! Now, you betrayed us, so you must pay. You must watch everyone you love go out, you'll have to watch them helpless, I'm looking forward to see your face then, Mister!' she said to Randy and kicked him in the chest, not hard though.
'Is this necessary?' Nancy asked quietly.
'No, but I enjoy it. You want some too?' Luise was about to kick Nancy too but Tony grasp her and hauled her away from Nancy.
'Take it easy, Lu. Come on. You've got work to do.'
He turned to his men. 'Take care of them, guys. Have enough space between those two so they can't help each other get away. Good night!'
Then he pulled Luise out of the hall. 'Be a good girl' he reminded her. 'I'm going to sleep.'
After he was gone Luise shook her head and went to the control room where one of her favourite employee was on his shift.
'Good evening, miss Walker' he said politely when she entered the room after doing all the security tests.
'Good evening, Jerry. How's going?'
'Good, not one single car has passed for an hour' Jerry answered.
'And inside?' Luise asked.
'Even better. The captives are asleep, Mr. Prito is getting ready to sleep and Mr. Hardy has disconnect the surveillance camera in his room bur he must be there with your sister, everyone are in their places including me and you're here, this is going perfectly, almost too perfect!' Jerry described.
Luise nodded. 'Don't you ever get sick of Hardy? He's acting like some king in his castle and we're his slaves.'
Jerry shrugged. 'Well, I don't care as long as I get my share' he said.
Luise grinned. Unbelievable how many people there could be bought so easily.
'Jerry, I have an offer for you. I'll double your wage if you do something for me, help me to get rid of Hardy, we'll share his part, I think it's half million, each...'
He nearly drooled. 'I'm your man.'
Luise smiled. 'Good. I thought so.' --------------------------------------------------------------------
