The red-headed singer looked frightened, but determined. "She's my ace in the hole!"
Jaro took a step toward her.
"Don't touch me," she cried, "you'll never get her if you do!"
He halted in mid-stride.
Landovitch said: "Turn State's evidence. I can guarantee you complete amnesty."
"Not just a light sentence?"
"Complete amnesty," he assured her.
She hesitated, said, "Your words."
"You've my word," said Jaro. His voice was cold. "I don't threaten, Red, but if she's been harmed you won't come to trial."
