“A few hours ago. You boys were tired so I made myself useful.” I should be pissed that they started without me, but I was still feeling the glow. I’m like a fucking woman, if I’m not careful she’d lead me around on that leash the way my sisters do my brothers.
Plus Mancini didn’t seem the type to give much of a fuck anyway so why bother? This wasn’t the time for posturing even if I was bent that way, and I’m not.
“Oh yeah, what did you find?” Before he could answer the phone rang. “Yeah?” Lo answered as the rest of us waited. Lately every time that thing went off there was nothing good on the other end. “Hey Law hold on let me put you on speaker.”
“We’ve got a problem boys. Lyon escaped his damn cage. I tried to stop him but no dice. They went after his family.” Law sounded at the end of his rope.
“Where is he?”
“WE are heading out of Arizona.”
“Shit, what’s the status over there?”
“Two down one to go, and if somebody doesn’t come up with something soon this crazy fuck is headed to D.C.”
“Tell him to stand the fuck down, we’re getting our shit together. He moves too soon and we’re FUBAR.”
“Ah, Logan, I don’t know how much you know about him, but that’s not gonna fly. I’m taking him back home now but I suggest you boys get on the ball. I can’t babysit this fuck.”
“Fuck! What did you do with the packages? How long before someone sounds the alarm?”
“I don’t know about the alarm, but there ain’t nothing left of the packages to find.”
“What the fuck are you talking about?” Lo looked around the room at the rest of us with a questioning look.
“Can we save this until we’re face to face? I’d rather not go into that shit over the phone no matter how secure it is. And Lyon swears there’s eyes on us, we need to book it.”
“Law haul ass I need to get home to my nosy ass wife.” That was Lyon in the background, and if what Law had just hinted at was true, there was no stress in his voice to give away the fact that he’d just offed two people; most likely the Porters.
Law’s long drawn out sigh told the tale. “Get a move on brother he’s in one of his moods and I’m not the man to keep his ass in check.” Law grumbled some shit that was unintelligible but we got the gist.
“What mood is that?” It was my turn to ask.
“The kill zone, fucking guy.” He rang off and the room was silent except for Mancini who was already on his phone talking in code. We waited until he was done while the news we’d just learned settled in our minds.
“What was that?” I asked Mancini as soon as he hung up. He put the phone away before looking at me. “I had men on Lyon. He called me, said they’d contacted his daughter on line. I’m sure you all know I ran you just as you ran me. I figured it wasn’t long before he popped so I thought it wise to have him watched.
Yesterday, three men showed up at his door under the guise of government workers. The men he has on his house sent them packing, but Lyon followed and let’s just say the Porters weren’t the first casualties. My crew wasn’t in time to stop him. By the time they caught up, his crew was doing clean up and these boys are so good even with our training we couldn’t stand up in a court of law and swear to shit. There was nothing left to find.”
“What the fuck is this guy doing?”
“The same thing you’re thinking of doing, only he got a head start. As to the Porters and the other three, our friend pulled a Hitchcock. They were dissolved in a mixture of acid and Lye. Fucker didn’t even leave the bones. I figured unlike you, he wouldn’t be thinking about the consequences, so I just made some arrangements. As far as anyone knows the Porters have taken a trip. That should buy you a couple weeks. The senator will buy that, his brother and sister in law are known for taking off when the mood strikes.”
“How the fuck do you know that?” The fucker gave me that smirk of his.
“I told you. I know everything. Now, did you call Masters and Summers?”
“Not yet, we were waiting on that.”
“Good, because we have to move.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If we’re gonna move against these people we have to move, you can’t stay here.”
“This place is secure, trust me, they’re not getting in here.”
“You would think so, but there’s always a way. Besides, they taught you everything you know didn’t they?” From his sneer I’m willing to bet he wasn’t part of any government organization, so that answers that.
