I needed to do. If Nadeen is there I will get her and any other girls out.
I quickly hail a cab and make my way to the house that Seamus, Cian, and I are staying. Since the Cale, Ken, Sunny, Crow and Chip can at times seem to be competing for the title of Man Whore of the Year , I thought it was best for me and the boys be close but not too close. Tonight it also allows me the freedom to do what needs to be done and not have to play fifty questions.
As I jump in the shower to quickly wash off the makeup and smoke, I start making plans and lists of things that I need. The best way to get in undetected is to create a diversion. Yasser will go to the door and ask to speak with the head of the operation. I will tell him to let them know that he isn’t going to do business unless it is with the man in charge; this will cause the strongest of the men to have to act as bodyguards, which should leave the other doors and entrances lightly guarded.
They told him before to not involve the authorities, so my guess is they have some girls at the house waiting to be sold. That means that the strongest of the me n not acting as bodyguards will be guarding their payday. Now this is where it could get a little tricky. I will need to get at least two smoke bombs from the warehouse to mess with the guards vision and perception and a mask so the smoke won’t mess with mine.
Planning a mission took my complete attention and focus. That was one of the reasons I took so many dangerous missions after the fallout between Wyatt and I. I had to give my total concentration to the mission, which meant I could not dwell on how hollow and empty Wyatt had made me feel. Finding out I meant nothing to him had destroyed me, and planning missions became my escape.
Once again, Wyatt is the reason that I have to run away from my emotions. I can’t believe that he would approach me with the intent of us reconnecting when he was here in Morocco with someone else! Damn it! If I am going to survive tonight, I have to put him out of my mind.
I lose myself in the motions of getting my Glock 17 and my 11 inch Outback Bowie knife out of the lock box under my bed. I repeat and repeat what is going to happen as I reload my Glock and strap my knife in a leather sheath around my leg. Repetition will become my savi or in more than one way tonight; it will save my life and save me from my memories.
I use my Harley to get to the warehouse. It’s quick and it’s agile, and those are two qualities I think I might need tonight. After getting the necessary equipment that I need from the vault, I make my way to the address that Yasser had given me. As directed, Yasser is waiting half a block away in a dark ally.
Walking over to Yasser, I begin without preamble. “Look Yasser, I want you to give me five minutes; then I want you to go to the door and demand to see whoever is in charge. Don’t talk to anyone but him. They will try to deny you, but after they see you won’t budge or be intimidated, they will try to use decoys. I would figure that they would try at least two or three times before the real deal comes out. The only way you can tell who the real one is if you stay alert and pay attention. Watch and see when you see one of the goons discretely leave, the next one in will be him.
To say Yasser was confused showed on his face. The shock that showed on his face would have been highly comical in any other circumstance. “How do you know that Prenses ? What is it you have been doing since your engagement that would teach you how to read a situation such as this ?” Yasser obvious concern over his sister’s dilemma seems to be temporarily diverted. Too bad it was now all aimed in my direction; oh joy.
“Yasser, when I left Oxford, I went back to the States and worked in the Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA. The people who peddle drugs are just as bad as the people who peddle flesh, often times they are peddling both. So I have seen humanity at i ts
