Part 22
'Caine! Where are you?'
'Right here, Kermit.'
'Have you seen Peter?'
'Yes, I have. And there is something...'
'Yeah, I know. It wasn't Peter and I had him locked in my office before SHE let him out. Now, there's no way for me to find him. What do they want Peter for anyway?'
'As a ransom? You call it?'
'Money? Is that what they want? If that's it, they sure got...'
'No, they do not want money. The man I spoke to, the one who looked like Peter, said that they wanted me to perform a task for them.'
'What task?'
'I do not know.'
'Damn. If I get my hands on that SOB...'
'Tsk tsk, such language, detective...I'd be careful with that gun if I were you. Shoot me, and your friend, his son, dies.'
'Whaddaya want?'
'Why, I'm just a messenger. No point killing me and besides, it's Caine that I want to speak to.'
'Where is my son?'
'Somewhere safe from you and his friends.'
'What do you want from me?'
'Good question priest, the instructions are in the envelope. Whatever you do with the information is your problem as soon as the task is done, you'll have your son back. Have a nice day.'
'Who is it? What is it they want you to do?'
'Peter...They want me to kill him.'
'WHAT? Why would they want you to kill him when they can do that themselves?'
'I do not know...'
