CHAPTER TWELVE

Derek

Being Derrin Calway was becoming harder and harder. I messed up once, telling her about Minnesota when I should have said Winnipeg, but I don’t think she thought anything of it. But other than that, it was getting increasingly hard to pretend I was just an ex-soldier. She knew I was something more and I knew in the future I was going to have to tell her the truth.

The question was, how much truth. It’s one thing to say you have experience in “getting shit done” for people. It’s another to say you’re a professional assassin, one that put a bullet in Travis Raines’ head at the request of her brother. It’s another to say you were the vigilante who shot the driver in the head, only after you failed to kill her to begin with.

Where did the truth end and where did I begin? When did the lie end and I begin?

I’m not sure if I would ever figure it out and not come out even more of a shell than I was going in.

I didn’t trust her brother at all. I knew Javier enough that she did mean something to him but a man changes when he comes into power and I’ve seen him change a lot. I wasn’t even expecting him to show up to meet her. He was the man in charge of the seedy underbelly of half the country, he wouldn’t want to risk anything by going after his sister.

Then again, there was the chance that his marriage had softened him. That’s why I wanted Luisa to be there. Alana would be able to get a better read off of her. She wanted to believe the best of Javier a little too much.

While we drove around looking for a cheap, simple motel that I could pay cash out, I thought about how Javier could be behind any of this. The man who had called me and ordered her hit definitely hadn’t been him. Javier’s voice and mannerisms were far too distinctive. But could it have been someone working on his behalf? Perhaps it was the man Alana had talked to on the phone, even though he pretended not to know who she was.

Who was Javier’s right hand man these days? Esteban Mendoza. Could it have been him on the phone? I wasn’t sure. I never paid too much attention to Este back then because he was a bit of a chump, a surfer dude that didn’t do shit but wanted to weasel up the ranks. He was proficient in survelliance and electronics – when we did the raid on Raines’ house, we were able to all because of him. But Este didn’t seem to have the chops for much more than that.

Then again, being second to Javier meant doing a lot of dirty work. An order was an order. But why would Javier want his own sister assassinated? That’s what didn’t make any sense at all. I didn’t trust him and with good reason and I thought if she went off with him it would do her far more harm than good.
