After a brief pause, the voice returned. “Mr. Graves, I’ve just inquired–Kaia went out on business.”

“Jerry,” she said quietly, careful not to provoke him, “did we know each other before?”

“Doesn’t matter.” His voice hardened. “If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t be where she is now. So even if we’d never met, you’d still deserve to die.”

A flicker of recognition cut through her panic. She took a chance.
