Chapter 9

The day passed in a flurry of tracking information. Tasha settled into her routine, one that she’d thought she would never get back to. When she had found out that the government would be closing them down within days, she’d been heartbroken and yet almost euphoric because it meant a change in her life, one that she was ready for. This scenario was far from the change she’d expected though. It felt like the same thing to a degree but without the official compass, without the umbrella of protection, without the full team. Nor did they have the same resources. Although, as she was finding out, they had plenty of money. “How come we have money?”

“Because we still have access to the bank account. We always did, since it was set up under my name,” Terk said.

She looked at him sharply. “And they didn’t change that?”

He smiled. “I never gave them access. I didn’t want them digging in and removing money when we needed it.”

She burst out laughing. “Oh my, that’s perfect.” Then she frowned. “But that also means, if you use any money, they’ll know that you’re alive and well.”

He nodded. “Which is why I changed the name to something else.”

“Interesting,” she murmured quietly. “What did you choose?”

“A mock name. One that nobody knows and one that doesn’t lead anywhere.”

“So then you think we’re safe?”

“We’re safe. We have access to the money, and we’ll pull it as we need it.”

“Good enough because I highly doubt you have much for weapons, do you?”

“We have some, as you’ve seen, but we’ll get more.”

“And yet we can’t use the same supplier.”

“We can, but we’ll need a middleman.”

“Great, and who will that be?”

“Merk is on his way over.”

“No way,” she said. “He’s your brother. Surely he’ll look like you to some degree.”

He stopped, shook his head. “He’ll be in disguise.”

She withheld a comment on that because Terk had very strong features. She highly doubted that Merk would look anything less. But she’d been wrong before, so who knew? “If you say so,” she muttered.

He chuckled. “Have a little faith.”

“I kind of lost that a while back.”

“I know. I see that, but don’t be so lost that we can’t pull you back.”

“I don’t even know what that means,” she muttered.

“Anything else on the tracking?”

“No.” She shook her head. “I did track down little bits on the vehicles seen around Wilson’s and Mera’s places. But I never did get sight of them on the cameras around mine and lost them a few blocks away in car parks.”

“What does the time stamp show for each of the three hits?”

Tasha knew he would ask that. “Wilson first, Mera second, me last, with a quick in-and-out assassination and the allotted travel time in between.”

“As expected. Still doesn’t mean the same person was the killer for each, doesn’t mean that they drove the same truck, doesn’t mean that they drove a truck at all,” he reminded her.

“I know. I know,” she said. “I was looking for something definitive that would tie to the three of us.
