Larry cleared his throat.
“Interestingly, both a man named Nico Kostas and a man named Milo Sanchez have the same exact tattoo. I’m talking identical, on the left forearm, and both got the tattoo at a shop in Snow Creek. Do you find that odd at all?”
“Can’t say that I do.” He cleared his throat again. “Listen, I don’t have to talk to you.”
“No, I suppose you don’t. But I’m not done here, so you stay seated.”
“Why should I? What will you do for me?”
“How about this? I don’t talk to the guard over there, and you don’t get murdered in your bed tonight.”
Larry widened his eyes for a moment, but only a split second. A-ha. That got to him.
“I see you’ve already been having some trouble with your fellow inmates. Trust me, it could get worse. Much worse.”
He pursed his lips into a thin line.
“So you will sit here and talk to me until I’m done.”
He nodded.
“So far you’ve been a huge help,” I said sarcastically. “Are Nico Kostas and Milo Sanchez the same person?”
“And I told you I don’t know.”
“Was Milo Sanchez one of the abductors?”
His mouth remained closed, his lips set.
“How about this? Whose idea was it to take Talon?”
“Talon was never meant to be taken.”
“So you say, but we’ve come into some new information. From Wendy Madigan.”
His brow l
ifted slightly again.
“Wendy seems to think Talon was taken on purpose, for ransom, by enemies of my father. Tell me, Uncle. Who were these enemies of my father?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He sounded genuinely confused. “Talon was never meant to be taken.”
“That’s your word against hers, then. You’re a psychopathic child molester, and she’s a respected newswoman. Who should I believe?”
“She’s not who you think she is.”
I’d already decided that for myself, but now my uncle had confirmed it. “Who is she, then?”
“Nobody. She’s nobody.”
“What was her role in all of this? Was she my father’s lover?”
Larry’s brows nearly jumped off his forehead. But he said nothing.
That was all the proof I needed. I’d be investigating Wendy Madigan further. However, I did know one thing for certain. Wendy was not one of Talon’s abductors. They were all men. So this line of questioning wasn’t going to get me any closer to the two we hadn’t caught.
Time to try a different avenue.
