Hot Revenge Box Set 2
Chapter 20

But downstairs in my playroom, Klempner is nowhere to be seen. Neither is he in the laundry, the boiler room or anywhere else.
Finchby has vanished too.
Michael regards the empty spot. Clicking a thumbnail against his teeth. “There’s only one way he could have gotten out.”
“Yes, there is. Michael, Klempner knew the tunnel existed. How long d'you think it would have taken him to find it if he was seriously looking?”
Hissing through his teeth, he marches across to the hidden exit at the far end of the chamber.
A click, the concealed door opens and he vanishes inside.

“Such as?”
“I have a hard drive to clean up before I deliver it to the police.”
Michael scratches at forty-eight-hour stubble. “I suspect Finchby may not be our problem anymore.”
“I suspect you’re right. Klempner wanted to question him some more. I doubt he’ll survive the experience.”
“And Klempner?”
“He'll be back.”
“You think?”
“Mitch.”

“James, Michael, sorry to leave you so precipitously. I'm sure you understand why.”
He’s changed, wearing fresh clothes which look new and fit him well; trousers, a roll-top sweater, jacket and shoes. And he carries a pair of bags, offering one to me.
“Yours. Thank you for the loan. I had them laundered of course.”
“Finchby?” I ask, cautiously.
