Chapter 21

“Are you ever going to tell me what you want with Elias Locke?”

His use of Eli’s full name went unnoticed by Sandora, though Eli seemed to pale in the closet’s shadows. “You ever going to get your ass out here so we can go get him?” Sandora mocked.

Reluctantly, Jarrett stepped away. Once they left the apartment, his odds plummeted. “Loyola’s not exactly around the corner.” Mentioning the university would at least give the police a direction to go in if they didn’t get here in time. “It’ll be light by the time we get there.”

“He’ll be easier for you to spot, then. Hurry up.”

“You have a fast car?”

“I’ve got your car.”

“And what happens if we find him?”

“You better hope it’s not an if. Because if we don’t…”

Sandora didn’t need to finish the sentence. Jarrett understood the threat. He hoped the police did, too.
