47. Lost

His sturdy hand vanishes behind his back and the next moment it appears with a smartphone in it. He fidgets with it.

“What is your PIN to unlock the thing, Chloe? It is time to invite Hunter for a little visit.”

It is her smartphone he has in his hands! He wants to force her to lead Hunter into a trap! Her Plan A was to surprise him by suddenly asking Hunter’s help, but this option has gone to ashes because the pig has just divulged that he plans to get rid of Isaac. If she doesn’t do as he orders there is a real chance that he will do so now. It means Plan B is now the only option. She’ll have to wait until the last moment to warn Hunter when he opens the door.

So, Chloe complies: “1964.”

He fidgets and nods. “Good, Chloe, I see it. Keep it up and you two will live happily ever after. What do you call Hunter on your contact list?”

“Plain Hunter.”
