Chapter 28

We fall into silence again.

After a minute Klempner touches his ear again. “Michael doesn’t sound very happy,” he comments, his voice dry. “He can’t find them. Nor Ben.” He checks his phone. “Nothing from Marco either.”

Has someone warned them?

Richard?

Has Charlotte got them out of sight?

“You won’t find them, Klempner,” I drawl. “When Charlotte goes to ground, no-one finds her. She had a lot of practice at running when she was younger. If you had trouble keeping tabs on her as a child, what do you think your chances are now?”

He scratches at a cheek-bone, fixing his gaze on me. “It occurs to me that I have the ideal hostage to draw out my daughter.”

I’m keen for a change of conversation. “How did you do it? Get a bug on Michael’s car?”

He hesitates, as though deciding whether to answer. “The very first time you visited me in the prison. You have to hand the keys over when you sign in. From there…”

“All you need is a corrupt guard. And we already know you have one of those.”

That something flickers over Klempner’s face again.

Yes, regret…

He removes the earpiece, plugs it into his own phone and lays it on the tabletop. “We might as well listen in comfort. You can keep up to date with events too.”

Fuck you…

But the speaker gives out little other than a grinding sound which I assume is Michael’s car engine.

Is my car bugged too?

Did we ever travel to the prison in it?
