Chapter 70
THE CALL CAMEat midnight.
Before Decker could answer it, Jamison had snatched the phone away.
“I want to hear Amber and Zoe’s voice, right now,” she said into the phone.
“Who is this?”
“Alex Jamison with the FBI, and the seriously pissed-off sister and aunt of the people you kidnapped. Putthem on the phone. Now!”
“You’re making demands?” the person said.
“No, I’m makingonedemand. Put them on the phone.”
There were a few moments of silence.
“Alex?”
It was Amber. She sounded exactly as she should: terrified.
“Are you okay, Am? Have they hurt you?”
“No, they haven’t.”
“And Zoe?”
“She’s righthere with me. She’s okay too, just scared.”
Jamison turned to Decker and mouthed, “They’re okay.”
Amber continued, “Only I don’t know what they—”
The other person came back on. “Okay, you’ve heard them. Now hear me. You want them back, you will do exactly as I say.”
Jamison handed the phone to Decker.
“I’m listening,” said Decker. “What do youwant in exchange for them?”
“We want Fred Ross.”
“I don’t know if I can make that happen.”
“You better hope you can. Or else the next time you see the woman and the kid, they’ll be corpses.”
“Where and when?”
The man gave Decker the location and time. “You bring anybody with you, they’re dead.”
“And you’re just going to let us walk outwith Amber and Zoe?”
“You bring us Ross, we have no reason to harm any of you. We just want the old man.”
“I didn’t think Ted was that fond of his father.”
“Just bring him! One minute late, they’re dead.”
Decker put down the phone.
