what’s up?” he said cheerily when he answered.
“I’ve got something you want, Whelan.”
Travis almost rear-ended the car in front of him. “Who is this?” he demanded, an uneasy punch of foreboding lurching through his blood stream.
“Roman Birkenfeld.”
Unease gave way to panic. “Birkenfeld? What the hell are you—”
“Shut up,” the man on the other end of the line demanded, giving Trav no choice but to obey. “Just listen. It’s like I said. I’ve got something you want, and you’ve got something I want. I’ve got your sister.”
“You son of a—”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re one tough Texan, but I’m in control here. You want her back, you’ll do exactly as I say. No questions. Do you understand?”
“I want to talk to her,” Trav demanded, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He heard a muffled cry—of pain, of surprise—and it damn near ripped his heart out. And then he heard her voice. And the tremor in it undid him.
“Trav.”
“Carrie. Oh, God, bear. What’s he done to you?”
“N-nothing. Yet. I’m…I’m okay. I’m…I’m tough. Come from good…stock.”
His heart clenched at her bravado. “Where are you, sweetie?”
“I…Nathan…I mean, Roman…he blindfolded me. Trav…I love you. Always…remember Fort Worth—”
Birkenfeld yanked the phone from her from her hand. “This is all very touching,” he broke in, cutting her off, “but now we’ve got business, Whelan. And so you know…she’s dead or as good as if you don’t follow my instructions to the letter.”
“You put so much as a bruise on her—”
“You are not in a position to be issuing ultimatums!” Birkenfeld yelled, sounding on the edge and on the brink of toppling over. “One more word and you will never see her alive again.”
Trav bit his tongue and swore that he’d rip the bastard limb from limb when he found him. If he found him. Until he did, he had little choice but to play Birkenfeld’s game.
“Better,” Birkenfeld said. “Now, this is what’s going to happen.”
