His eyes flicked to the screen but darted back just as quick. “You won’t do it, Morelli. Not them. You’ll kill me, sure. Burn me, gut me, feed me to your dogs.

Let me enlighten you.”I leaned in, my words venom.“I will have your wife watch as we strip the skin off your bones while she screams into her gag.
