16.1

Around 2:00 that afternoon, Alvin and I drove slowly down the street of the kidnappers' house. I had rented a Toyota pickup truck and some gardening equipment -- a leaf blower, lawnmower, hedge trimmer, and pruning shears -- to use for a disguise. MACE: That's the place. ALVIN: You sure we can do this, just the two of us? MACE: If we act quickly and surprise them. This is where I'm counting on all those years of experience you've had as a cop. Besides, there's only two of them. They shouldn't be a match for us. ALVIN: How do you know there's only two of them?
