Chapter Six

Jack had a hell of a headache. He hadn’t been drunk the night before, other than maybe off of victory and pure, unrelenting adrenaline, but he felt like he’d been on a bender of epic proportions—complete with bleary eyes, sore muscles, and yes, the headache.

He stumbled out of the shower, which hadn’t helped one bit, and grabbed a few ibuprofen to hopefully numb the pain. He got dressed before he stumbled back into the main room of the suite and sank down onto a couch. Brad had turned in their rented van the night before. All that was left to do was check out and they’d be on the way to the next location. Everyone else would be up and moving in a couple of minutes. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the silence.

Jack decided when he was done with this whole thing, a raging night out probably had to happen. He was already paying the price for it. Might as well have a little fun too.

Once everyone else was up, dressed, and in the lobby, Jack let Brad take care of checking them out while he secured train tickets to Munich on his phone. The ride would take a while, at least half a day, so they wouldn’t get there until early evening. It would already be dark, so the best they could do would be to check into their hotel and get some dinner.

Jack was both relieved to have some downtime, and nervous to be stuck with his thoughts—and worries—for so long. They’d gotten away with a hell of a lot in Berlin. He hoped none of it came back to bite him in the ass. Jack reminded himself to go over the film with Brad. They had to make sure there wasn’t a single moment where you could clearly tell where they’d been. A shot of the bottom of a desk drawer wouldn’t hurt. Anything else would probably get them in more trouble than it was worth.

Alo was the last to meet them in the lobby. He looked nervous, and rightfully so. With potentially millions of dollars already stored in his suitcase.

He looked a bit bashful as well, maybe as though he was remembering what he’d said to Jack the night before. Jack tried to give him a reassuring smile. Poor kid didn’t need to be worried about a little harmless flirtation in the middle of all that stress and worry. It was good to decompress, and what better way, right? Plus, it had been Jack who’d started it. He thought, at least. Either way, he certainly hadn’t minded. If Alo had been a lot more sober, Jack might have let it go further.

“We’re all checked out and ready to go,” Brad said when he got back to the group. “There’s a shuttle getting here in about ten minutes that stops at the.... Berlin Hauptbahnhof.” Brad shrugged like he wasn’t sure he’d said it right. Jack didn’t have a damn clue either. Alo was too preoccupied to correct them like he usually did.
