Tucker pulled the Rocky into the Sunset Cliff apartment complex and parked near Jake's front door just as they entered the foyer, the phone rang and the three men looked attentively at each other wondering if it meant news about Anna. Jake snatched the receiver off the hook and urgently said hello. I've been waiting for you to get home. Jake. A familiar voice echoed on the other side of the line. Jake nodded to Tucker who leaned in to hear the conversation. Jake pressed the speaker button and sat the handset on the counter. Where is Anna? He demanded you'll know in due time right now. You just listen to me and do. As I say, I'm listening, Jake could tell that Peterson also had his phone on speaker. He sounded distant so he was some feet from the phone, Anna is safe and unharmed. Say hello to her. Jake yelled Anna and I heard her voice cry out, Jake. He shouted back, Anna, are you? He started but he heard a click as Peterson picked up the receiver, taking the call off speaker, I told you she was fine. Now it's my turn. You will call off your two friends. You already know. I mean, business. Jake huffed and said yes I do. Why is Bill Tipton helping you? Todd? He couldn't get better help these days. Peterson laughed menacingly. Mr Tipton has been helping me recruit you, Jake. He is my influencer. Has he not influenced you today? Jake grimaced angrily and making a fist and baring his teeth. Peterson continued. You need to calm down. Your head injury will get worse. I'm sorry, Andrews hit you so hard and it was much easier to subdue her being a girl and all that girl can kick Bill's lazy, fat ***. Jay could hear her voice on the phone. Cry out. Bring it on dirt bag is that Willie Ja killed sarcastically. Yes, it is said Peterson Tipton took the handset from Peterson and said I will settle my score with you later. Jake having forgotten what you did to me. Tucker held Jake's arm and shook his head. Mouthing the words don't engage. It was sound advice. Jake said, what do you want from me? Todd? Well, that's a loaded question. I want you to join me and don't say you will not because you no longer have a choice. You touch Anna and I will rip you apart limb from limb. More laughter echoed from the phone. I don't blame you for your anger. Jake, it's all right to project it on me. But in all honesty, this is your fault. You didn't accept my offer. You trespassed on my property too. I'm going to call the cops. That's ok because they are right outside your door. Why don't you allow them in the doorbell rang and Jake twitched in response. Peters had said calmly answer the door. Jake don't hang up because I need to speak to Commissioner Regent about your interrogation. Keep our call on speaker, Jake obeyed and turned to Tucker for advice. Tucker didn't speak but nodded and pointed to the door. When Jake opened the front door, Commissioner Reg was flanked by two large constables. He allowed them into his apartment. Mr mcloud, I am police Commissioner Clint region. I know who you are. He answered curtly, there's no need to be alarmed. We just need to speak with you about some accusations you've made against Mr Todd Peterson. He turned to Dan and Tucker and said you are Dan Nicholson Peterson dive master, but who are you? He raised his chin toward Tucker who was one step ahead of the commissioner. He wasn't going to give his true name, which could tie him to the US military and alert Peterson of that fact, Cal Rogers, Jake's friend, Jank wrinkled his brow at Tucker turned back to Regent and said, I want you to arrest Todd Peterson for murder and now for kidnapping, he has Anna Capano, a dive master who works for his. It is you. We have come to talk with today Mr mcleod. Please take a seat. Does Mr mcloud. Need legal representation. Asked Tucker as he sat at the kitchen table next to Jake. That depends answered Regent. Let's see how he answers our questions. Mr Peterson is on the phone. Yes, he's listening. Why don't you ask him where my friend Anna is being held after his men kidnapped her? We will all have your questions answered after you answer some of ours, the constable stood at the apartment door with their hands casually folded in front of them. We received a complaint that you trespassed Mr Peterson's property care to explain your purpose. Jake paused and looked at Tucker who nodded, allow me to start from the beginning. Commissioner. That man on the phone is a cold blooded killer. Why do you say that Mr mcloud asked Regent, I saw him kill men while we were at sea region's eyes widened. He wasn't aware that Jake had witnessed the incident with the Cuban drug runners. Do elaborate. How would you have seen such an atrocity? Were you a guest on Mr Peterson's boat? Jacob observed Regent and asked, who said it was on his boat? Regent hesitated appearing to want to take back what he said. I assumed that is all continue. I saw Todd and his goon Steve Palos open fire on those defenseless men and I saw the boat they were in explode just like the boat. Rick Haynes was on today. I have a question for you, Mr mcleod said Peterson on speaker phone. If you saw this happen, then that means you trespassed on board my yacht as well. Please explain how that came to be regent, raised his thick brows and looked at Jake. Yes. Please explain. Tucker placed a hand on Jake's arm to quietly support him. Go ahead and tell them Jake it's ok. I saw Bill Tipton and another man board Todd's yacht, the local motion I wanted to see what they were up to. So I boarded, I had every intent of leaving the ship, but Peterson and Palos came aboard and I had to hide. He looked at Regent's blank expression and felt he needed to elaborate. They would have killed me if they had seen me on the ship. That's ridiculous. Shouted Peterson on speakerphone. Why would I want to harm you, Jake. It was an honest mistake. The room fell silent. The Regent remained stoic and Jake was short on a response. Continue Mr mcleod Regent finally directed, I had no idea the ship would rendezvous with a Cuban cigarette boat and Steve Palos would shoot them down in cold blood. I have no idea to what he is referring. Mr Regent. They heard Mr Peterson say Regent blinked hard and said to Jake continue. There was an argument with the Cubans. I think it was over drugs and money. Regent asked who else witnessed this? Well, I was alone. Just me admitted, Jake. All right, we will revisit this alleged incident later. In the questioning. Now, tell us about the second trespassing incident. The structure, Jake began to stand but Tucker held him down. Jake sneered at him but understood the premise beyond remaining calm. He said that man has a drug processing plant on the island. I saw it with my own two eyes. Silence took over the room and all parties focused on Jake Tucker glanced at Regent to read his thoughts, but the man gave no clues. Peterson said, Commissioner, I can assure you I do not have a drug processing plant on Grand or anywhere else in the world for that matter. I own a couple of businesses and that structure is part of a marine conservatory. Regent nodded and stared at Jake. Tell me, Jake, who else saw this processing plant? Jake whispered just me. Regent said no other witnesses again. How about your girlfriend, Miss Capra Capano? Jake continued in a soft tone. She was outside waiting for me. Reason said, ok. No, so no witnesses. No. Todd said Commissioner Mr mcleod had multiple traumas in the past couple of years. One as recent as two weeks ago when he threw himself off our dive boat and resurfaced face down and unconscious after hitting his head, I see said Regent, it seems Mr mcleod is prone to head injuries, ok? Enough of this dog and pony show yelled Tucker. My client has been found to be in a sound state of mind just last week. He was cleared by a Kian physician, your client Mr Rogers or is it Brodie Tucker retired us Navy Seal. Asked Peterson from the phone. Tucker's face went sallow but he regrouped and stood strong. Peterson continued. Isn't it true that, you know, Mr mcloud from Long Island and that you insisted him through the trauma of losing a scuba student while on an open water dive conceding but not giving Peterson any credit. He said, yes, that's correct. What does that have to do with anything Peterson continued? It shows that you have a personal attachment to Jake. You're not here as his legal advisor, you're here is his friend. I also thank you for your service to our country. Mr Tucker Regent adjusted his body in the chair, reacting to the information. He remained silent and listened to the conversation with interest Tucker was about to say something when Jake stopped him. It's ok. Tucker, I have this region said what we have here are two separate events that Mr mcleod claims Mr Peterson was involved in illegal events yet there are no witnesses to collaborate with his story. There are numerous documented incidents in which Mr mcleod experienced trauma which could all lead to irrational thinking that could even cause irrational thoughts and lead one to believe he is seeing something that indeed never occurred. And then there is Mr Tucker who has mis misrepresented himself to the R C IP S which is a punishable offense. If Jake says he witnessed these atrocities and illegal activities. I believe him shouted Tucker and I heard Dan Gas from the den. He had remained so quiet during the interrogation that he had forgotten he was there. What we seem to have here is a good case of confabulation. What the what Tucker exclaimed. Regent said, it's quite clear. The word refers to someone who actually believes what they say is true. They've convinced themselves of it. It is usually caused by memory loss but it can be brought on by head trauma. Tucker twisted his face and said, what a bunch of malarkey. I'm not here to prove anything. Mr Tucker, a judge will hear both sides and he will hand down the sentence sentence, bark shake. Am I being charged with something? Regent drew in a breath and blew it out slowly, Mr Peterson has requested your arrest for the trespassing charges. Dan suddenly stood raising his arms in anger that man killed Rick Haynes. There is no doubt that what Jake is saying is the truth. I've been keeping an eye on this entire scenario and wholeheartedly believe him, Tucker turned to Dan and made a shush expression with his lips, but Dan ignored him. That man should be arrested on the spot. He continued, Regent raised his voice for the first time during the interrogation. We will handle this the correct way, sit down or I'll have you arrested for defamation of character and slander the constable stepped forward toward the kitchen and Regent held his hand up to stop them. Peterson began to speak again and all turned to the phone to listen. It is not my intent to lock you all up. I just want the truth and I don't want my reputation ruined. I'm an important part of these Cayman Islands and my reputation speaks for itself. Often people like me become targets of slander. As Commissioner Regent explained, Jake bit his tongue. He wanted to say that Regent and Peterson were partners in crime, but he knew it would certainly result in his arrest or worse. He had to consider Anna who was still being held captive by Peterson. I would like to speak to Jake privately. Peterson said we will be outside, said Regent and he rose and mentioned his constables to the front door. Are we forgetting that Peterson is holding our friend hostage? Jake yelled and stood fist tight. She went with Mr Peterson on your own will said Regent this time showing his bare teeth, he was steadily growing impatient and the facade was beginning to break. Jake Drew in a breath to calm his nerves. He said to Dan and Tucker, wait outside with the cops. When the apartment was clear, Jake said, I'm alone. I assume you are as well. I am. I wanted to speak with you to cut a deal. Jake said or to admit that everything I said to region is true. Peterson laughed and said we can discuss that later. Jake right now. You should be thinking about your girlfriend. The sound of Todd's voice made Jake's blood boil but he, he held himself under control for Anna's sake. I need you to join my team. Jake. I will make it worth your while. Someone has to fill a rich shoes and you are quite worthy. Do I have a choice? He screamed into the phone. Of course you do. I'm a reasonable man. Right? I will make a switch you for the girl. Jake asked and then what I become your robot and help you with your illegal activities and murders. Peterson snickered and said, I never use my dive masters to hurt people. Jake. Now you will follow Mr Regent outside to the squad car. Well, he will ****** you to me. Where will that be? Jake asked? Peterson chuckled. You think I'm going to let your military friend know where you'll be taken? A dark cloud ran through Jake's mind. He didn't see a way out of the situation. The priority was to get Anna and his friends to safety. He knew it was temporary because he would eventually take Peterson and his business down. He had to Peterson left him with no choice. No one he knew would ever be safe while the man was free. I'll do as you say, concede it. Jake, the line went quiet and Jake hung up the headset, he opened the door to allow the others back into the apartment and said, please walk with me to my police cruiser. I won't embarrass you by putting you in handcuffs to his friends. He said please reach out to the R C IP S anytime you need our help, we are proud to serve you. Yeah. Right. Jake thought but he held his tongue. The commissioner and constables led Jake by the upper arm to the police cruiser and secured him in the back seat. When the apartment was cleared, tuck her *** down. I need to make a stop. Can you go with me?
