  “Did you find out who owns the house where she held Annie?” Jake asked.

  Hank shuffled through the papers and withdrew one. “The Nortons were housesitting for a family on a European vacation. She took the liberty of using it as a safe-house, so to speak.”

  “And where’s the money?” Jake asked.

  Hank shrugged and looked at King. King shrugged back. “It might turn up in the search of Tammy’s house, but who knows? It could be locked away in a safe deposit box somewhere.”

  “I bet Rocky Shaft would love to get his hands on it,” Annie said.

  “It might never show up,” Hank said. “But if it does, it’ll be confiscated.”

  Jake looked around the precinct. “I hope it’s found. You guys could use a few upgrades in here. Half a mill might get you a new desk, Hank.”

  The cop laughed. “I’d be happy with a new chair.” He cocked a thumb over his shoulder. “Maybe we could replace that useless air conditioner over there.”

  Jake stood. “If we’re done here, I have a very important client I need to see.”

  “What is it this time?” Hank asked. “A smuggling ring, or maybe international art thieves?”

  “Something more important,” Jake said. “I have to find a lost dog.”
