Chapter 110

Jacques leaned against the wall. "How long has it been?"

Eugene shrugged, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm on his knee. "No idea."

"Your wife must have been worried that you're gone for a long time."

"I know. I'm going to be so fucked up when I get home."

"I should have never invited you on a stake out."

"That's fine. I chose it anyway. It's my fault as well."

"No, the blame is mine. If not for my stupid curiosity, we wouldn't be here...in this damn cell." Jacques kicked at the spotless floor.

Eugene stood up, stretching his stiff muscles. "Doesn't matter. Arguing about it isn't going to change our situation."

"You're right," Jacques paced the room. "I wonder why they're keeping us here."

"Probably to prevent us from going to the press and all," Eugene followed his partner's movement.

Jacques paused. "That Jean-Claude guy said something about us having a 'special'...whatever. I wonder what could it be?"
