With her peripheral vision, Regan saw Cole open the purse.“Well?Is she armed?”
Cole held up a taser.“Yes, I’d say she’s armed.”
Eyes wide, Jerry tensed.
Wanda looked at Cole and then at Regan.“It was just for show.We never would have used them.”
Regan huffed out a laugh.“Yeah, I bet the police will want to hear all about it.”She leaned forward and whispered, “Jerry, you better hope the police are more forgiving than I am, because I don’t believe you, at all.”
Jerry grimaced.“It’s true.We only wanted to talk to him.”
“In the middle of a musical?Sorry I still don’t believe you.”Regan gave his neck a little squeeze.“What were your actual plans?Tell me now.”She squeezed harder.“Are you getting a headache yet?It’s because I’ve almost cut off the blood to your brain.Do you want me to shut this side completely?Let’s try it shall we?Maybe then you’ll start telling the truth.”She squeezed a little harder this time.
“Okay.Okay.”Jerry started to pull his hands from his pockets.
“Don’t.”Regan narrowed her eyes.“You try that again and I’ll make you very sorry.”
His eyes widened.“Okay.I’ll be good.”
Regan was not in the mood for anymore lies.“Now, let’s start again.Why did you want to kidnap Mr.Kincaid, if not to kill him?”
“We wanted him to make a statement about how he was at fault for the oil spill.”
“But Mr.Kincaid says he wasn’t at fault and you know that, so, why do you really want to kidnap him?”
Jerry moved to stand straighter and stared at Regan with his eyes narrowed.The look he gave her told her it was not just about getting the statement.He definitely wanted to kill Cole.He was the one who wanted to make a statement.“To get more people to our cause.We don’t want anyone hurting the environment.”
She stared back.“I don’t believe that for a minute.You wanted to kill him; I can see it in your eyes.I would suggest you get a very good lawyer.”
Finally, the police arrived and took Jerry and Wanda into custody after confiscating their weapons.
An officer approached them.“Mr.Kincaid, what’s going on?”
