	"How about it, Lisa?" Trifford said to the girl on the floor. "Wouldn't
you like to kill your brother?"

	Lisa's only answer was a soft whimper.

	"I asked you a question, Lisa," Trifford said sharply. "I want an
answer. Think about it, Lisa. This is your brother Avery, who did all those
terrible things to you that you told us about. Making a slave out of you. Tying
you up, giving you to strange men. Beating you and burning you with cigarettes
and sticking you with needles. Terrible things. You told me how much you hate
him, remember? Well, now you have a chance to get even. Would you like to kill
him, Lisa?"

	"I--I can't--No," Lisa said brokenly. "No..."

	"That's the wrong answer, Lisa," Trifford said. "Try again."

	Lisa looked up into his face, then down again.

	"Yes," she whispered.

	"I think that's a wise decision," Trifford said.
