The Breakthrough (2012)
“Mannock,” Jack said as he helped DeWayne out of the backseat in the underground garage at the 11th.
Mannock looked wary to Boone, who assumed the man was both struggling to adjust to the low light and keeping an eye out for shenanigans from Keller. He was still quiet when they reached the elevator, Keller on his left, Boone on his right. When it opened, Mannock mince-stepped aboard, careful to avoid the door.
“Can I talk now?” DeWayne said. “’Cause I—”
“I wouldn’t,” Boone said, nodding toward Jack as if the last thing he wanted to do was get that man riled. DeWayne shook his head and puffed out his cheeks.
Boone himself was in crisis mode. It was all he could do to keep from slamming Mannock against the wall of the elevator and demanding to know where Max was. If he was sure of anything, though, it was that DeWayne did not likely know. Who in their right mind would trust a scumbag like him with that kind of information?
