Sin was sweaty and grimy by the time she made it back to Tumbleboat. She didn’t spot Russo’s car, but something told her he was there. As she rumbled past the house, she spotted the security lights on by the front door. Someone’s in there, she thought. It’s the only reason the security lighting would be triggered.

Sin parked two blocks away and made her way back to the house. One block away, she spotted a black Cadillac pulled into the neighbor’s driveway. Knowing that the car didn’t belong, she pulled her semi-automatic from her waist and went around the back of the house. Not seeing anyone, she stayed hidden behind a bunch of Palmetto bushes that separated the beach from the homes.

With her stance low, she crept behind the cover of the Palmettos, until she was one house away from her own. Sin took a deep breath, gripped her pistol tighter, and made her way up the back porch steps, making sure not to cause a creaking of the hardwood. She peered through the windows of the French doors and spotted Russo sitting on the couch with Lancaster beside him while someone with his back turned towards her was pecking way on her laptop. She used her free hand to jerk the door open and took them by surprise.

Her actions drew the attention of the man at the computer who jumped to his feet and began to pull a gun from his shoulder harness.

“Freeze,” she said, “or I’ll put a bullet in your head.”

With your off hand, use your thumb and index finger and slowly remove your weapon and slide it towards me.”

She watched as the agent looked to President Lancaster for permission. “Hey asshole,” she said, “don’t look at him for an answer. I’m in charge.”

“I have jurisdiction here, O’Malley,” Lancaster swaggered.

She eyed the agent who waited for permission from the president. Shifting her weapon in the direction of President Lancaster, she emitted a guttural growl.

“Do as Agent O’Malley said,” Lancaster said.

She kept her eyes on the group as the agent cautiously lifted his gun from under his suit coat, knelt as he placed it on the hard-wood floor, and slid it in her direction. She stopped it with her foot, then using the heel of her boot, kicked it onto the back porch. Using the barrel of her gun, she waved the agent toward the couch. “Go join the other two on the couch.”

With all three men in front of her, she relaxed a bit, but never lowered her weapon. “Care to explain why the president of the United States would break into my home and have some monkey try to break into
