After a while the Warrior tells me,

“Relax. You’re going to be fine. Everything will be okay.”

I’m remembering the taste and the heat of his cock.

Trapped in closer quarters than ever between him and the Mastermind, my head keeps throwing up images, fantasies of what I could do with the two of them. Even with all three of the smoking hunks.

I know that, as much as anything else, this is just my mind searching for distraction. Yet it seems like such a real possibility.

The Emperor calls back to the Warrior. “Did you talk with our friends on the dockside earlier?”

“I did,” his mouth twists. “No sign of either consignment. They’re convinced it’s all been intercepted and purloined.”

“Me, too.” The Emperor nods slowly. “And no good news from our trusted allies in the precinct?”

The Mastermind’s head shakes. “They all plead total ignorance.” He takes out his phone.

With an eye in the mirror, the Emperor says, “That would usually be the gospel truth.”

All three men share a hollow laugh.

“This one time,” the Warrior says, “They’re lying fuck-pigs. I know it.”

“We all know it.” the Mastermind speaks through his teeth. Studying his phone, he looks up and says,

“One of our chickens came home to roost.”

“Which one?” Now the Emperor’s voice is quiet and serious.

“You remember how we set up the road sign for Turtle Rise?”

“Thatone?”

“The spy cam at the foot of Turtle Rise just recorded Hummers speeding up the hill there.”

“Fuck.” The Warrior bunches a fist.

“Seriously.” The Mastermind nods

I ask him, “That was one of the canary traps?”

He nods.

“Which one?”

He says, “The doc.”

“Shit.”

The Warrior reaches for his own phone. “I’m calling somebody right now.”

I tell him, “Wait?—”

Over his shoulder, the Emperor says, “We can’t let this go unanswered. Anyway, he’s no more use.”

I tell him, “You’re wrong. Wait.”

“What?”
