Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 9
Diamonds in the Dark Margus’s voice came through the phone again, calm but edged with steel. “Don’t hurt the girl,” he said. “Let her go. That was the deal.” The abductor laughed, low and bitter. “The deal changed,” he snapped. “I want the rest of the diamonds. Or a huge amount of money. You think I tracked her through the woods, held her for hours, for nothing?” Emma lay tied to the chair, her cheek pressed against the cold concrete floor where she’d fallen when he hit her.…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 8
Miko Emma woke to the sound of voices, muffled but sharp, drifting through the thin wall of the concrete room. Her head throbbed, her cheek burning where the man had hit her. The air tasted of dust and copper—her own blood, dried at the corner of her mouth. For a heartbeat she didn’t remember where she was, only Liina’s face, her pink scarf, the spray of red across the back door. Then it all crashed back: the woods, the factory, the diamonds, the rope biting into her wrists. She blinked,…-

Six months had passed since the blood-drenched night in the misty hills outside Seoul. Li Wei and Li Mei had burned the old hanok house to ashes, scattering Zhang's twisted secrets to the wind. The penciled will had held in court, granting them a fortune vast enough to erase the nightmares—or so they thought. They lived now in a sleek Gangnam penthouse, far from the gabled roofs and barred shadows. Li Mei, radiant as ever, laughed often, her skin glowing with the vitality of youth reclaimed. "It's…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 7
Veiled Greed Emma opened her eyes to darkness and the smell of damp stone. For a moment, she didn’t know where she was. Then it crashed over her—Liina’s body falling, the spray of blood on the back door, the gunfire, the woods, the hand over her mouth. Her chest tightened, breath coming in short, panicked gasps. She sat up slowly, wincing at the ache in her muscles. The room was small, lit only by a single bare bulb hanging from the ceiling. The walls were bare concrete, the floor cracked…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 4
Shattered Ice The room exploded. One second Emma was crouched by the door, trembling, the diamonds still glinting on the table like cursed stars. The next, Liina’s voice cut through the stunned silence. “Miko, get her—back door, now!” Her tone was sharp, no trace of the laughing sister from minutes ago. Miko didn’t hesitate. He grabbed Emma’s arm, yanking her up. Her legs wobbled, vision swimming. The diamonds, the vodka, the warmth of the stove—it all blurred into a sickening smear.…-

Li Wei swung his leg over the sill, found himself in a bedroom. But he wasn’t alone. Stretched out on the bed, in cheap, imitation lace-trimmed step-ins and the flimsiest of net brassieres, was a young girl with bobbed platinum hair and intensely red lips. She seemed to be sleeping. One rounded arm was bent above her head. The other lay across her gently curved stomach. For a moment Li Wei watched her small, half-globed breasts rise under the brassiere cups. Her eyes were closed, their long, dark…-

When he awoke, his head throbbed as though a million needles were piercing his brain. It was day. Light seeped in through a small skylight window in the sloped roof that formed the ceiling of the room to which he had been consigned. Recalling his last ghastly moments of consciousness, Li Wei gingerly touched his throat, fully expecting to find the flesh torn from the beast’s fangs. It wasn't. Had it all been a mad dream? No! He could still feel the hot saliva drooling down on his cheeks, hear the…-

The man's face, as if someone had placed imaginative tourniquets on his veins and arteries, seemed to freeze the blood that flowed through them. It was a twisted, disease-eaten mask of humanity, the lips thin and bloodless, drawn back over caries-yellow teeth; the nose two gaping, black nostrils beneath small, rheumy eyes. A lock of sand-gray hair fell over the man’s temple. Otherwise he was bald, the skin of his skull drawn up like that of a prune. A sound came from the creature’s throat, passed…-
