“Colson,” the corrections officer said, voice tight with barely contained rage. “Get those fucktards under control or I damn well will.”

When the convict answered, he said something that made Parker’s blood run cold.

“Look, Warden Spencer,” the convict said. “I know pulling the girl along with us is stupid. But these are guys who’ve been a minimum of ten years in the slam; we barely have control of them. That girl is getting fucked whether it’s right here, right now, or at the house. These fools think this is a goddamn cartel hit! Hell, I don’t even know why I had to recruit them in the first place, and they’re looking to me for answers.”

Warden? Parker thought; it made him feel sick, and a little scared. This wasn’t a CO gone rogue, as the uniform had seemed to indicate. This was a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility administrator running around and helping a band of the worst of the worst run amuck. The realization was almost as disconcerting as stumbling across the JSOC Little Bird.

“Jesus Christ,” Warden Spencer snapped. “You think I know what to say? I was told to expect a power outage during the transit, that that was the signal. I thought they meant they’d tampered with the vehicle!” he said, and then he waved his hand around to indicate the darkened city. “But then this shit happened and the ride went out, too.”

“Who the fuck are these guys, and why the hell do they care about hitting some dealer’s house?” Colson demanded.

“I don’t know,” Spencer admitted. “I have a contact whose name is ‘you-don’t-need-to-fucking-know,’ who used to get stuff inside the facility. He came to me, the money was good, and he promised the diversion would be big enough to cover my ass when it was over. But this is too big,” he said. “This is so damn big you know you don’t want to fuck with whoever can do this. So I don’t think getting laid is at the top of the priority list.”

“Then you shouldn’t have used these guys,” Colson said. “These aren’t pro hitters from goddamn Juarez or Kiev, or vets gone bad. These guys are street animals. I have no idea why they’d be picked if this is such a big gig. But that ain’t my problem. My problem is that they’re not exactly what you’d call forward fucking thinking individuals. They’ve got a piece of ass in hand after a long time in the slam. They’re not giving it up for a hypothetical reward later. It’s not how they’re built, so give them the girl and let’s go hit the mall already.”

“Goddamnit!” Spencer swore. He looked around, muttered, and then turned back to Colson. “Go back and tell them to bring the girl. There’ll be plenty of time, all the time in the world, to play with the girl after the hit is done.”

“Wise choice,” Colson said.

“Just get them moving,” Spencer said. “I’ll catch up.”

Parker remained still as Colson walked back to his group.
