THERE'S A WORRYING LACK OF RESISTANCEwhen they take Reid's wrists and bind them with Kiernan's belt. Reid's not doll-like; his muscles are tense and his breathing is shallow. He's biding his time, waiting to pounce.
Kiernan whispers, "Gabriel's here." He rises, and if Kane didn't know better, he'd think Kiernan was shaken. "Your girlfriend is keeping him in the kitchen."
