Hull glanced at the photo in his hand, then looked back at Derek, his smile turning cold. "Well, if Mr. Murray says so, then I guess it must be true!"

All that careful analysis, and now if he said 'no,' he'd just look ridiculous.

The moment Hull finished speaking, Derek's face darkened instantly. His breath quickened. "So, what the hell are you guys looking for at Black Gate? What do you really want?"

His jaw tightened with every word.

Hull shrugged. "What if I said-we want the whole of Black Gate?"

"So, Mr. Murray, are you going to give it to us?"
