Brothers-in-Arms

“Chase, you and Ana take the car to the Sheraton. I’ll take care of this mess and meet you back at the hotel in a couple hours. Your bags from the plane are in the trunk.” Clark handed me his room key and patted my shoulder.

I didn’t know that he, Anya, and Porter were standing behind me when I’d pulled the trigger on Micky seconds earlier.

I took his key and walked silently toward the car with Anya at my side. We drove to the hotel without saying a word. After a shower and a fresh change of clothes, I paid for a room two doors down from Clark and left him a note with our room number.

Anya and I sat on the edge of the bed staring out the window across Smathers Beach toward Havana. She placed her hand on my leg and laid her head on my shoulder.

“I didn’t have to kill him,” I whispered.

As if she didn’t hear me, she said, “How did Clark know where to find us?”

“I don’t know. But I’m glad he showed up.”

She hugged me in silent support of the battle raging inside me. I winced and let out a childish whimper when she squeezed my ribs. I was hurting more than I’d realized in both my body and my mind.

A rap on our door jolted us, and Anya pulled her pistol from the nightstand.

“Relax,” I said. “It’s probably Clark.”

Telling her to relax was like telling the wind not to blow. Through the peephole I saw Clark standing in the hallway. I opened the door and motioned him inside.

“Are you guys okay?” he asked.

“We’re fine,” I said. “How about you?”

“I’m good. So, are you going to tell me what tonight was all about?”

Anya forced her lips into a thin horizontal line and kept quiet.

I poured each of us a drink from the mini bar. “First,” I said, “we need to know how you found us tonight.”

He’d either practiced his answer or he was being honest when he confidently said, “Believe it or not, it was dumb luck. I was closing up the plane and noticed your bags still in the back, so I grabbed them and set out, hoping to find you on Duval Street. I’d given up and decided to head back to the hotel when I saw one of those bicycle cab guys pedaling like a maniac with the two of you in the back. By the time I made it around the block and tried to catch up to you on Truman, the cab was empty and headed back toward Duval. I chased him down and bribed him to tell me where he’d dropped you. When he told me, I knew something was up, so I pulled into the parking lot and checked out the exits from that, uh . . . place.”

Anya set his mind at ease. “It was strip club.”

“Yes, it was. Thank you, Ana. Is it Ana or Anya?”

I started to answer, but she beat me to it.

“I was Anya, but now Ana.
