Easy girl, you'd still have to kill him, remember?
Five million drachmae was a lot of money to pass up. She'd been through all the files, and she'd found nothing that would be useful against Minos. If she took the job and Pithos only had money to give, she'd use up that five million just trying to hide from Minos's wrath.
Ariadne woke at dawn, as the cell phone started to ring. She'd fallen asleep at the table, still reading.
"Spindle, what is your decision?" the voice demanded.
"I don't see anything on this laptop about Minos, so this job isn't worth the risk to me," she replied, stifling her yawn.
"Look again," said the voice. Ariadne moved the mouse, so the screen lit up, and sure enough, there was a new folder.
"How are you doing this?" she demanded. The laptop wasn't connected to the internet. She wasn't sure this part of Hellas could even support the network.
"Howdoesn't matter. That folder is only a small part of what we have hacked off Minos's laptop. You'll get the rest when the job is done."
Ariadne opened the file, and her jaw dropped open. Client names, targets, successful hits, ongoing bribes. She already had enough to burn Minos, but not enough to destroy him.
Feeling as if she could see the first glimpse of her freedom in years, Ariadne whispered, "I'll do it."
