Three men.
A van.
A hood over my head.
It happened in less than thirty seconds.
When I woke, I was tied to a chair.
Victor Marlowe stood in front of me.
"Where is the ledger?"
"I don't know."
"You have the key."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
He smiled.
"Your grandmother knew."
"My grandmother is dead."
"Dead people leave secrets."
He leaned closer.
"Daniel will come."
"He won't give you anything."
Victor laughed.
"He doesn't have to."
Then my phone rang.
Victor answered.
Daniel's voice came through.
"Touch her and I'll bury every person you've ever loved."
Victor smiled.
"You're emotional."
"I've never been emotional."
"Then why does your voice shake?"
Silence.
Victor looked at me.
"That's your weakness, Daniel."
The line went dead.
