He was in a meeting, but he left immediately when I told him. Rachel was with him and she insisted on coming.We met at my apartment. Marcus paced the living room while I sat on the couch, my phone in my hand, waiting for a call that might never come. Rachel made tea that no one drank. Victor arrived twenty minutes later, his face pale and his hands trembling."I have people looking," he said. "Every contact I have. We will find them.""You should not b
