Batiste rubbed his temples. Fucking migraines. This was a strong one. He unlocked his desk drawer and took out two bottles of pills—one for the pain and one for the nausea. He hated taking medication. Americans were so used to taking pills to fix their every little pain. If he were at home, he would try and tough it out, but at work he needed them. It was difficult to have the appropriate amount of fear for your boss when he was vomiting all over his shoes.

There was a knock on the door that sounded like a whole zydeco band playing in his head. “What?”

Saunders walked into the office and handed him a manila envelope. “I’m sorry to disturb you, boss. I thought you’d like this background information on our man as soon as possible.”

“You are correct.”

His man knew better than to linger. When he was gone, Batiste opened the envelope. Inside, there was a single sheet of white paper. He took it, turned it over, and read the top line. Valentino Paxton Solares. He read further and his lips spread into a grin so wide it uncovered his teeth in spite of the pain it caused. Well, well. This was unexpected. The New Breed in question was a fellow islander. He was Puerto Rican not Bajan, but Batiste took no pleasure in killing off citizens of his native Barbados anyway. Cat luck ain' dog luck, as his merr would have said. Just because you got away with something didn’t mean it wouldn’t screw somebody else. Batiste made the sign of the cross in memory of his mother and slipped the paper back into the envelope. He popped a pill from each bottle, leaned back in his leather chair, and closed his eyes. He would have the rest of the Intel he needed in a short time. The Caribbean was the only place that rivaled the number of connections he had in Boston. He would have it in a very short time indeed.
