"You are nothing if not persistent," he said to Ellison.  "What is it this

Julia touched Derek's arm, speaking quietly before Ellison could answer "He
wants to know what happened to Claire."

hurt in his eyes as she answered "They separated us so none of us knew who

Jim kept the majority of his reaction at bay.  He could tell that Julia was
telling the truth and that whoever did this to his niece had been a sick
enough bastard.  But had to know...

"The person... that.." he couldn't finish that part of the sentence.  The

meant and then continued "Tell me what happened to him.  Where is he?"

Julia looked at Derek.
