The Hunt (A Case for Frey & McGray) Page 5

  I thought he was going to punch me. ‘It’s not a bloody joke, Frey.’

  ‘You owe your loyalties to Clouston and I understand that. In fact, I understand it too well. Which makes me think it would be best for everyone if you were not involved in this case.’

  ‘How could I not be?’ McGray rubbed his face in frustration. ‘When my sister and me were in the worst way he stepped in. Haven’t ye just heard? He even saved the bloody house where yer staying now!’

  ‘Not because I want to, I may add –’

  ‘Of course I bloody owe him!’ McGray banged his fist on the wall. ‘Now that he needs help, I’ll do anything I can, even if it takes me all the way to hell.’

  Then he turned and went back in, slamming the door mightily.

  ‘I’m sure you will,’ I said with a sigh, ‘and you will drag me with you.’
