Chapter Nine

Once they were away from the crossroads and onto the interstate, Jamal forced himself to dial back the speed he was driving to a reasonable pace. Malik was moaning softly in the back seat and had been for some time. Moving him first to one car then the other had jostled his wounded leg and it had started to bleed again. Taking a chance that this car was not yet out there on a watch list, Jamal stopped at a convenience store and had Kasim get more supplies plus some small bottles of water.

“We have to change cars again,” he told Kasim. “They will be looking for this one. We need to steal one that won’t be missed for a while.”

“And exactly how do you propose to do that?” he snarked. “Maybe now is the time to finally call that number again. Or do you plan to just steal one car after another and run from place to place?”

“Shut your fucking face.”

Jamal was in no mood for attitude right now. Everything was going to hell and he had to figure out a way to stop it. He had gotten back onto the interstate, but now he exited and pulled into a small shopping center with a crowded parking lot. He found a space in a row farthest away from the stores and pulled into it.

“Go do your thing,” he said over his shoulder.

“Oh, now you want my help?”

No, I’d like to shoot your head off but I can’t. And I need to keep my shit together to get this done. And to get help for my friend.

He ground his teeth. “Yes, now I want your help. And please hurry. We need to do this before the owner of the car returns for it. Try the one on the right first. It’s black and fairly anonymous.”

Grumbling, Kasim climbed out of the car, taking with him the tool they used to jimmy the locks on car doors. On assignments, they often had to switch vehicles—and not with the owner’s permission. This had turned out to be one of Kasim’s natural talents. In seconds he had the other car unlocked and the motor started. They transferred Malik along with everything else and, that fast, they were pulling out of the parking lot and heading down the access road. When they came to another convenience store, he pulled in, opened the briefcase on the seat next to him and extracted one of the phones. He took a moment to gather himself before pressing the designated number, listening while it rang on the other end.

“Yes?” The same uninflected voice answered he’d gotten every time.

“This is Jamal. We have a crisis.”

There was a moment of silence so long Jamal wondered if the man was still there. He forced himself to wait but it wasn’t easy.

“What is your problem? You were told to wait at the little house and someone would come for you.”

Jamal gripped the phone so hard he was surprised the plastic casing didn’t crack.
