Chapter 8: DoldrumsTHE NEXT WEEK WAS brutally slow. They had the local network mapped out as best they could and continued to follow the petty crime each night, but it did nothing more than confirm what they already knew. Claire labored over her laptop more and more each day and spent considerable time in the early hours of the mornings up on the roof with a satellite phone. Matt had given Cole the go-ahead to try and give Isabella a call, but she had been out both times he tried. Her father had recognized his voice and asked a series of questions, all in French. Both times only served to raise Cole’s frustration with the whole ordeal. Harley and Matt, on the other hand, worked out harder each day, and that alone seemed enough of an outlet for whatever frustration they may have held.
