"You're asking the wrong questions,"  Butcher said.  "Likely they've been doing this for a while only one of the girls that got grabbed was somebody they knew.  When they approached the boss, they were told if they wanted them so badly, they could bid on them.  Clearly they didn't have enough cash to come in with the high bid and so they're looking for a little payback.  Likely they have some knowledge of your activities and figured you'd be a good choice to draw in by taking your sister.  That way, if you get shot up, it will look like you were trying to pull a solo rescue, rather than working for somebody on the inside with a grudge."<br/><br/>What Butcher didn't add was that the loyalty of an insider who had already changed sides once was always questionable.<br/><br/>He reached for the pad.<br/><br/>IGNORE POINTLESS QUESTIONS.  I KNOW WHY HIS SISTER IS IN THIS.  MAKES IT HARD FOR HIM TO SAY NO.  ME?  NOT SO MUCH.<br/><br/>I TAKE IT THAT HALF OF THE ADDITION TO DAMIENS ACCOUND IS MINE?  IS IT FULL PAYMENT UP FRONT OR A DOWN PAYMENT?<br/><br/>Butcher shook his head.  "Shit, this thing is so old it doesn't even have autocorrect.  Who's on the other end of this, somebody's grandmother?"
