“Okay, okay, we get it. She’s perfect. So why the fuck won’t you ask her to dinner?” said Garr.
“We work together.” The others tried to control their laughter, but it was difficult.
“We all fucking work together,” laughed Brix. “All of us. That never stopped anyone, damn sure not any of us. It won’t matter if she’s the one, brother.”
“I guess. I just don’t want to fuck it up. I’ve never felt like that before. You know what I mean? I don’t want this to be a fuck around and leave her situation. I don’t want it to be a one-night stand. I don’t know anything about her other than what I just told you because I get so fucking tongue-tied I can’t speak to her.”
“Alistair, relax, brother. She already likes you. We see the way she smiles back at you and waves when she walks by. She’s sending you signals as well. You’re just missing them,” smirked Major.
“What? When the fuck did that happen?”
“Shhh,” said Brix, nodding toward the door.
Another police car pulled up, and two officers got out, opening their trunks. They were laughing and grabbed two large plastic bins and then closed the trunk, knocking on the door.
“If I were a criminal, now would be when I jump their asses,” said Alistair.
The door opened, and the cop inside smiled, waving them inside. They waited patiently, watching for any signs of activity. Twenty minutes later, the two cops came out, got in their vehicle, and drove off.
“I don’t think this is our location,” said Brix.
“I don’t either, but we need to give it a little longer,” said Major. “The best we can hope for is that the others see something, and we can get there in time to help.”
“And what do we do with the seniors when we find them?” asked Garr. “I’m so conflicted by all of this. I’m struggling with what we’re going to do with them.”
“They have to be arrested, brother,” said Major. “The law is the law. We all agree that they were trying to do the right thing. It’s all so fucking shitty, and I can’t believe we haven’t changed the system. But it is the system, and until we can make it change, this is what we have. I’ll do my fucking job, as awful as that will make me feel, and we’ll try to help them in another way.”
“What about The Silencers?” asked Garr.
“They’re fair game. Those bastards have been doing all the wrong shit for decades now. Killing, trafficking, dealing in drugs, weapons, anything that would make them money. If they fire, do not hesitate to fire back.” Garr nodded.
“Roger that.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Chief, Hex, Jalen, and Tiger sat at the top of a landfill hill, staring down at the warehouse below. It was a clever location, probably keeping out a lot more people than they originally thought. The entire property was surrounded by razor wire.
“Is this D.C.’s or Baltimore’s?” asked Tiger.
“Neither. This one belongs to the DEA. One of many. Major said there was only one cop at the Baltimore warehouse. I guess they don’t think a lot of their stored evidence,” frowned Hex.
“You’d think these guys would learn to have better systems. This one is good, but it’s not impenetrable. Obviously, since we’re sitting our big asses on this hill,” frowned Chief.
“Yeah. Our big assess on a hill of trash, and God knows what else,” said Tiger, crouching on his heels. “I refuse to sit on this shit.”
“That’s probably a good idea,” said Hex, doing the same. They heard his knees pop and crack and smirked at the man. “Fuck y’all. You’ll start popping and cracking soon, too.”
“Do you see any guards?” asked Chief.
“Three. Two are on the inside, according to thermal, and there’s one on the outside. If this were holding the shit from The Silencers, I would bet there’d be more than three. I’m not sure this is our place.”
“Maybe not, but it’s the place we have to be right now,” said Tiger.
“You two must be happy as shit,” smirked Chief. “Brix and Major seem happy as fuck.”
“They are,” nodded Tiger. “I worried about Brix with Daphne and her parents accepting him. Turns out I didn’t need to worry about who we thought were her parents at all. Her biological parents are amazing. They’re planning to come for the holidays for like six weeks. They even offered their chalet for anyone who wants to use it as a vacation spot.”
“That’s awesome, brother. Major and Elena are happy as shit to be expecting. We worried at first but discovering that the doctor in England fucked up was good news.”
