I follow his directions all the way to a shady area of the city which sits derelict, a place for homeless people, junkies and criminals. I make sure my gun is loaded and in my hip holster before I get out of the car. This is dangerous. I stand a very good chance of finishing the day dead.

There are men waiting for me inside an old warehouse. Five of them all standing around a parked and blacked out van. Jaques says it contains Agent Lee, but I’m not so sure about that. This seems far too simple. It may be that this is a test, to see how far he can push me, to see what I’ll do in the name of love. If it is a test, it’s a good one, because I don’t know any more than he does.

I approach slowly, warily, my hand relaxed by my side, but ready to go for my gun. Jaques isn’t here, of course. He’s sent his henchmen to do the dirty work for him.

“Rico?” One of the tough guys calls my name.

“That’s me.”

“Shit,” one of the others laughs. “Jaques really got himself a pet agent.”

I’m nobody’s pet, but I know better than to rise to this kind of teasing. They want me to lose my temper. They want to humiliate me. This is a power game to them, a sick and twisted one that can only end in death.

“I believe you are holding an agent of mine. Agent Lee.”

“Yeah. We got her. You gotta do something for us first.”

“And what is that?”

The leader of the pack of idiots smirks and sticks out his foot which is clad in a dirty old yellow Timberland. “Lick my boot.”

My expression doesn’t change. I’m not going to react to these juvenile games. “How about you give me Agent Lee now, and I don’t put in a special request for your prison file to be tagged for solitary.”

“I’m not going to jail.”

Oh yes he is. Jaques Francoise might be able to manipulate his goons into doing his bidding swiftly and efficiently, but he has nothing on the FBI. I might look as though I’m alone, but I’m not.

The presence of Colt’s unit is announced by a little red dot right in the center of the criminal’s forehead. He can’t see it, but the others can. They panic, start flailing around to see where the light comes from. It’s deeply amusing to watch them all shit themselves, these staunch gangster types squealing like little girls.

“Get down!” Colt shouts the warning.

Fwomp!

A flashbang grenade makes it impossible to see or hear a thing as the immediate area is filled with smoke. Colt’s unit is small, but devastatingly effective.

In less than a minute, Jaques’ men are down and cuffed. The agents pop the lock on the van and Colt dashes in to pull Sonya out. She’s there. Thank god she’s there. And she’s still breathing. Doesn’t mean she’s in good shape. She is such a delicate little thing usually. Right
