Reply To: Exit The Shadow: Djinn And Tony

“There IS no upper hand. Lean back in your chair. I think I’ll kill you with ultraviolet light.”
The Shadow leaned back, “I would rather watch Tony work, but—”
“Tony is his name? Tell me the rest. What’s his last name?”
“I’ve no idea. I don’t want power over him. He’s saving me.”
Mike paused, his hands on a desk lamp. “You didn’t try to find out?”
“Of course not. If you had freed me or given me some reason to believe you really would someday, I wouldn’t have tried for yours. I’ve betrayed you several times now. Just nothing WORKED before. If I knew his name, it wouldn’t matter. I could tell it to you, and you still couldn’t win.”
Mike rolled his eyes, then frowned. “How did you find this person I stand no chance against, if you don’t know his name?”
The Shadow smiled, relaxed, desk lamp inches from his face. “I found your old publishing company. Tony’s was the office the receptionist sent me to.”
