In less than five minutes Jason found three bugs, including one inside the phone that listened to both sides of a conversation.When Jason was finished...he unlocked the door and led Gade to the Council Chambers. The entire council looked up when they entered the room. Jason looked at Austin and held up three fingers.

Marx here is going to untie your gag and you are going to tell us where the book is. If you scream, dear, it will be the last sound you will ever make.
