"But-but Sebastiana-Sebastiana-" "Sebastiana Cortez." Tanner laughed. "She was a decoy, to throw people off the track. I made sure that everyone at the office knew about her. Princess and I couldn't afford to let anyone become suspicious." Andrew said vaguely, "Oh, I see." "Come over here, Andrew." Tanner led him to the control center. They stood in front of Prima.
Tanner said, "Do you remember this? You helped develop it. Now it's finished." Andrew's eyes widened. "Prima…" Tanner pointed to a button and said, "Yes. Weather control." He pointed to another button. "Location." He looked at his brother. "See how simple we made it?" Andrew said, under his breath, "I remember…" Tanner turned to Pauline. "This is only the beginning, Princess." Tanner took her in his arms. "I'm researching thirty more countries.
"You got what you wanted. Power and money." Pauline said happily, "A computer like that could be worth-" "Two computers like that," Tanner said. "I have a surprise for you. Have you ever heard of Tamoa Island, in the South Pacific?" "No." "We just bought it. It's sixty square miles and unbelievably beautiful. It's in the French Polynesian islands, and it has a landing strip and a yacht harbor. It has everything, including"-he paused dramatically-"Prima II." Pauline said, "You mean there's another-?" Tanner nodded. "That's right. It's underground, where no one can ever find it.
Now that those two nosy bitches are finally out of the way, the world is ours."
CHAPTER 43
KELLY WAS THE first to open her eyes. She was lying on her back, naked, on the bare floor of a concrete basement, her hands handcuffed to eight-inch chains fastened to the wall, just above the floor. There was a small, barred window at the far end of the room, and a heavy door leading into the room.
Kelly turned to see Diane next to her, also naked and handcuffed. Their clothing had been thrown into a corner.
Diane said groggily, "Where are we?"
"We're in hell, partner." Kelly tested the handcuffs. They were tight and firm around her wrists. She could lift her arm four or five inches, but that was it. "We walked right into their trap," she said bitterly.
"You know what I hate most about this?" Kelly looked around the bare room and said, "I can't imagine." "They won. We know why they killed our husbands, and why they're going to kill us, but there's no way we can ever tell the world. They've gotten away with it. Kingsley was right. Our luck has finally run out.
