Where are they...Covenant Series, book six...
“Where are they?”
"He still has nothing to say to me so I grab the faucet handle and I crank it on, ice cold water starts flooding the shirt, soaking through the material and running down into his upturned nose and mouth."
"Torture:
1.The infliction of severe physical pain as a means of punishment or coercion."
"A word made dirty by centuries of needless religious persecution and despot dictatorships. An action made officially illegal by a century of drastic misuse and incompetent media representation."
"I’m here to tell you though, after agency training and time spent trying to save good people from very bad ones, putting the screws to someone will eventually get you exactly what you want. That goes double if all you want is information. It’s not pretty, it’s not romantic, it isn’t right and it won’t sell any best-selling novels when freely employed by the protagonist."
"Well guess what, this isn’t a fairy tale. This is the real deal and this piece of shit knows where they are."
"At the risk of sounding like David, no, no it doesn’t make you just as bad as them, it doesn’t compromise your integrity because integrity gets a hell of a lot more people killed in the dark than doing something like this. No one who has lost a loved one to a serial killer will tell you that exacting information from the guilty is wrong. No one on the losing side of a gang rape will ever tell you that hurting a perpetrator is wrong. Polite society exists on the backs of those who suffer the indignities of that society. Polite society suckles at the teat of those who make others do their suffering for them."
