CHAPTER
11
Mr. X
My phone going off woke me out of a dead sleep, and when I saw the name that flashed across the screen, I took a deep breath before I answered, knowing that it must be bad if he was calling me in the middle of the night.
Moving into my office, I shut the door behind me before I answered his call. "Luciano, to what do I owe this late-night call to?"
"I'm tired of waiting, and I need to move now. My plans can no longer sit on hold. My sources say Jensen is in D.C. with Watson's daughter as we speak."
"Are you sure?"
"Take a look at your phone, that picture I just sent to you was taken last night at the airport as he got into a taxi."
When I pulled up the picture on my phone, sure enough there was a picture of Porter leaving the airport. "Shit! I knew it was him that she called."
"What are you talking about?"
"My guy was tracking her calls and said that she had made one to an unlisted number, I just fucking knew it was to him, though, I still had my guy checking into it to see if it really was. This development does put a kink in our plans."
"Yes, and I'm afraid I can no longer wait. And as I'm sure you know; she will need to go as well. Who knows if that drug my brother gave her even worked. We can't have her putting you, my brother, and I together or it will spoil everything we have worked so hard to cover up."
"No, no I know you're right. But with Jensen in town, getting to her just got a hell of a lot harder. He will protect her with his life."
"Well then that works out perfectly for me because it's his life that I intend to take for his part in my brother's death."
"Have you already sent someone to do the job?"
"Indeed, he's the one sending me the photos. I will not waste time when it comes to seeking revenge for my brother's death, I'm sure you can understand."
"I do. I’ll call my guy and let him know the wheels have been set in motion." After Luciano and I hung up, I called my contact.
"Hello?"
"It's me. Luciano just called and it seems that he found out Jensen is already here in D.C. with Keira, he has a man tracking him now."
"So you were right, it was him that she called. This is really going to complicate things for us with him here watching over her every second of the day. What if she remembers what she saw?"
"I don't think that's going to be a problem. Luciano doesn't want to wait any longer and he’s moving ahead with his plans."
"You do realize that if she’s killed so soon after her father the FBI will have more questions about Watson's death as well as hers. We won't be able to hide behind the terrorist plot against him, it's not a smart move, sir."
"Don't you think I know all of this? It's out of my hands. Luciano is not the kind of man you say no to. Besides, if my plan goes the way I've set it up to, he will go down for everything in the end if it all comes to light, not us."
"I hope you're right."
"Yeah, me too." I chuckled. "Get some sleep and let me know if the status on the Senator's case changes."
"Will do."
After I ended the call, I poured myself two fingers of scotch and tossed it back, praying like hell that all my back-up plans, I'd worked so hard to put in place, kept my ass out of prison. God forbid if things went sideways on us.
With Jensen in the picture now, though, the chances of that just went from slim to very fucking possible.
