THIRTY-SIX

“Jon Warren’s dead,” Joshua Taylor said. He and Caine were on the street in a neighborhood the elder terrorist had chosen at random. It was after midnight, and a light snow was falling. “The reporter survived and is in the hospital.”

Caine’s voice was low, derisive. “We don’t know what Warren told her. Why didn’t you finish the job?”

Taylor’s muddy brown eyes blinked. He was a half foot shorter than Caine, with thinning brown hair. His voice pitched higher. “Warren fell on top of her, and some men came running. They must have been cops. I had to get out of there.”

“It was a setup to get him to talk.” Caine’s gray eyes swept over the street. “There’s no telling what he told her before he died.”

“I don’t think it was much, if anything. Jon was a screw-up, but he knew when to keep his mouth shut.” Taylor blew out a frosty breath, glanced around the street. “How do you want to proceed?”

Caine barely resisted the urge to shoot his companion. “We move ahead. Hollister’s on schedule.”

“I’m assuming the delivery went as expected?”

A nod. “It’s in the warehouse behind a secure perimeter.” Caine looked up the street, seeing a car pull to the curb. He doubted anyone had followed him but couldn’t take any chances. He motioned for Taylor to follow. They moved down a side street and up an alley, where Caine told him what else was on his mind. “I made a promise that needs to be kept.”

“What kind of promise?”

“I told Hollister, when he was close to completing the assembly process, if everything went as expected this time, he could talk to his daughter.”

“That shouldn’t be a problem.”

“How is her companion?”

“Under control. I think she’s still shell-shocked from her boyfriend’s death.” He smiled. “Maybe I should keep her company.”

The decision Caine had been struggling with was in that moment made. What his old friend’s son had said sealed his fate. “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

“Why not?”

Caine pulled the 9mm from his waistband. “Because you’re dead.”

As Joshua Taylor lay dying in the alleyway, Caine moved back up the street. He had two things on his mind: Eliminate anyone who might lead the police to him, and destroy the city.
