Page 248 of Allegiance

Aiden was sitting in the van, waiting for the call to come in.

That’s how it always worked.

You went to the location, and a call would come in. Then, and only then, you’d receive your orders.

This would be no different.

As soon as he turned off his lights, then back on again, his phone began ringing.

Aiden answered it.

“Chevy?”

“Yeah, do you have everything?” he asked. “Is the Addiction there?”

“Yes, Sir. Tate packed it up with me last night, along with a shit ton of guns and money. We thought you’d like it.”

Chevy laughed.

“Oh, I would. Those clean cops took what was left of my stash. Let me ask you this. Were you followed?”

The man laughed.

“Hell, no! I drove around for an hour like you said, and I even stopped, got some coffee, went the backway, and made sure I didn’t see lights.”

“Are you sure? Because I’m telling you, Aiden, Jagger Armstrong is not a slacker. He could be duct taped to the axle of that vehicle. I’ve seen him do crazy shit to handle a job, and he’s hellbent on killing me.”

Oh, they all knew why.

Chevy had offed the man’s wife.

“Sir, I’m telling you, he’s not here.”

“Good. Sit still, and do me a favor. Pull the sim card from your phone, toss it in the back of the vehicle, and then get out. I have a transfer vehicle for you. Your money is in the back of that vehicle.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Sir?”

“Yes?”

“What about Cecil and Stellan. Someone killed them, and that sucks. They were instrumental.”

Oh, he was aware.

“What do you know about it?”

He told him.

“Some vigilante is on the move. His name is Z, and he’s making The Hunters look friendly.”

That didn’t make Chevy happy.

He had his plate full with The Hunter assholes. He really didn’t need more.

“I’ll look into it. Just do what I asked, and get ready. We have to move fast. I’m not risking getting caught by Armstrong.”
