Chapter Fifteen

Adam wasn’t sure who out of the two of them was most nervous. But unlike Lenny, he remained calm—at least on the outside. Inside, his nerves were out of control and his stomach had pulled into a tight knot. So much so that he didn’t touch the tray of sandwiches Tanisha had brought to their room.

Lenny, on the other hand, devoured most of the platter—evidently, he ate when he was stressed. But truth be told it was nothing more than him currying favor with Tanisha after his previous slip-up.

Tanisha’s gourmet platter of sandwiches had nothing to do with catering to their every whim. That was a smokescreen to maintain her cover—“one can never be too careful,” she’d said. The real reason she was there was to run them through a safety sequence and to ensure they were well equipped and prepared for any unforeseen incidences at the warehouse.

“Remember, you’re not there to confront anyone. Only to gather intel. Stay out of sight at all times. And if anything does happen, use the safe word,” she said in a stern voice as she secured a tiny microphone to Lenny’s chest.

“So, are you like a secret agent or something?” Lenny asked her.

Tanisha ignored him.

“I’m just asking because I kinda feel like I’m being used for bait or something. Microphones, hidden cameras, what if they catch us?”

“They won’t, as long you don’t do anything stupid,” she said, her voice steely.

“But you’re watching my every move though, right? Who’s gonna be there for us if things go wrong? Everyone’s watching and listening, but who’s got our backs, huh?”

“We’ll be fine, Lenny. We’re not the FBI trying to bust a drug-smuggling ring. We’re trying to get Carrie back. Keep that in mind. We’ll find someplace safe to hide, find out who’s running this meeting and why. That’s it. If they have the package, we let Gabriel know and they’ll take it from there,” Adam assured him.

“Do we even know where this warehouse is?”

Tanisha spread a large city map out on the bed and pointed at the red circle to the east of the city.

“How can you be certain that’s the right one? There are a million possibilities scattered all over the city.”

“It’s the right one,” Tanisha said.

Lenny’s nerves got the better of him.

“What if you’re wrong? Then we’ve wasted all—”

“It’s the right one. We don’t make mistakes,” she said again.

Lenny raised his arms as if a gun was pointed at him.

“Okay, okay, I’m just saying. I mean who am I to doubt a secret spy?”

He was intentionally mocking her and she knew it. The look in her eyes told him she wasn’t impressed.

Adam, who had been quietly poring over the coded message in that day’s paper, looked pensive. He had gone through several more backdated newspapers and found further clues. Something nagged at him. Something he just couldn’t put his finger on.

“What are you so deep in thought over, Preacher?”

Adam didn’t answer. His mind was trying to work through the problem.

Tanisha moved to stand next to him, her arms folded at her waist as if she was waiting for him to give her something.
