"Come join me," Costa said, raising a glass to the trio. "I am good," Nathan said, noting that Cost was either drunk or he was trying to portray himself as drunk."Don't worry," Jackson said, one hand raised. "I am okay just sitting here and not drinking," replied Jenny."I see...well, that's no fun," Costa judged. "We did not come here for fun," Nathan retorted harshly. "We came here for information. And somehow we've not gotten anything from you. And now you want to have a drunken toast?""You came here because I threatened you there, smart ass," Costa said. Now it was most obvious he was nearly carried away by the alcohol. "Did you always know about the Lobbes neighborhood? Did you know your friend went there the same day that happened?"Nathan was quiet. Jenny was shaken quite obviously. Costa put his hand in his suit, drew out a gun, and pointed it at her. "And you, you better start talking before my finger slips and your brains become splurged right behind you. Of course you

"But something happened, didn't it?" Costa noted, his eyes intensely fixed on Jenny.Jenny's lips moved but produced no sound. Nathan frowned at this. He did not like the methods Costa was using to extract information. He did not trust the man, as after all his goals were still unclear, and he had them right in his palm at this point. Still, he was not the type to keep shut when he was confronted by something he did not like."Don't treat her like that," he blurted out. "What did you say?" Costa asked. His voice sounded like hell. "She isn't well, can't you see?" Nathan said. "She is sick. You're only making her feel worse. She doesn't know anything, as she said.""Okay, okay." Costa raised his palms; a charismatic smile stained his face. "I am the bad guy for wanting to help. Well, of course I am, but she knows something.""And how do you know?" Nathan asked. There was no lack of curiosity in his voice. "You haven't given us any reason to trust in anything you say. If you have ac

From the gate came a man in a body-hugging suit. He had the look of a god. His hair was black and curly, and his eyes were the color of clouds. Ash gray. He seemed to have been born to intimidate and be jealous.All three of them stared with their jaws dropped low as the man came forward. They wondered if he was the caller. They doubted it. They were imagining a rough-looking man, one that would have the appearance of the voice that had thundered from the phone. Well, if they were being honest, the man in front of them had the look of thunder and lightning fashioned into human form. A Greek god. It was Costa. One of the sons of the Gambinos. Again he found himself deep into the business of Isaiah. Now he was close to the car; raising his hand, he tapped on the roof of the car. Nathan, wind down. He managed to smack off the stupid look on his face before it made him come across as dim."Follow me," Costa said and began walking back inside."Maybe that's not him. Maybe that's the body

The thirty minutes was over soon enough. In its duration, the trio had spent the time trying to speak to one another but only found themselves in a bind each time. Jenny and Jackson still did not trust Nathan, and Nathan was getting tired of pretending that he needed them to trust him. "It's time to go," the blond said at once, parking his laptop in his bag."Finally," Jenny said. "Any extra second and we would have killed ourselves," Jackson said. It was as if he was trying not to laugh, and the air kept piling itself in his throat, forcing him to wheeze. Jenny and Nathan said nothing. In a few minutes the trio found themselves in Nathan's car. It was a Lexus. A car no doubt less expensive than Isaiah's Rolls Royce. Jenny nearly asked, "By riding such a car, is your father basically the richest man in the world?" She knew him to be. But she kept her questions to herself. She wanted to avoid at all costs the blond's intuitive ability, which would have led them into another bout

"Where is the location?" Jenny asked. Her voice was sheathed in much seriousness. "And how far is it?"Nathan turned back to the laptop's screen to see the location that was shared to him by the strange caller. "It's a neighborhood called the Zincs. It's close to another neighborhood called the Lo—" Nathan stopped as if his tongue had become frozen cold and unusable. His mind seemed as though it was being shattered by new information downloading into it at a phenomenal pace."What happened?" Jackson asked, dropping a hand on Nathan's shoulder. "Cat got your tongue?" Nathan's shoulders seemed as though they were vibrating under Jackson's hand.Jenny rolled her eyes. "It's not that," she began in her deduction. "It's that Nathan here did not want us knowing about what he wanted to say."Nathan shrugged Jackson's hand off his shoulder and eyed Jenny. "I guess you know everything going on inside of my head now, Elena," he said, sarcastically. "If you do, then explain why I stopped talking

"What do you want?" Nathan asked. For the first time Jackson and Jenny could hear a shadow of fright in the blond boy's voice. They never thought they'd hear it from him. They would have laughed if they were not scared to bits themselves. "That's better," the terrifying voice from the phone said. "I want your full cooperation on this. You see, I am an acquaintance of Isaiah." Jenny and Jackson flinched at these words. "And just this afternoon we saw an article posted by a blog that we traced to you, saying that he was missing. I and my family have been around the city looking for him. At first, we came to think that you were lying and wanted to punish you for it. We changed our minds on that when we traced Isaiah to the last place he had been. "Jenny was terrified but curious. Who was this acquaintance of Isaiah's that she did not know of? An acquaintance that found no qualms in shooting a bullet into the room of college kids. Her mind was engulfed in much pondering. She now remem
