Chapter Thirteen

Steve stopped the car in roughly the same place as earlier in the morning. Again, they were going with only a rough plan. It wasn’t great, but they didn’t have time to waste. Not with the crew on the planet’s most wanted list.

According to Nicole, their faces haven’t been sent off planet yet. That was at least a small blessing, but one none of them thought that situation would last. They needed to get Todd taken care of and fast, which was why Steve was going without a detailed plan yet again. He couldn’t believe he was doing this, but it was needed.

Before they had left, Nicole had found a list of people who were in the inner circle. It wasn’t big.

“Why not just get Todd?” Lindsey asked.

“Eric would step in. We need to find his team and the rest. Find all the people they are enslaving. Then let everyone see that Todd was part of it. Not just kill him,” Rea said.

“Oh, I just want to kill him,” Steve said.

He really did, but he knew she was right. They needed to remove him and find the slaves. They needed to have someone in the building, in the chain of command in place to run the system. A person who isn’t corrupt.

None of that would be easy and typically took time. Unfortunately, time was a luxury they didn’t have, and that meant taking a risk, one Steve wasn't pleased about.

“I’m hoping Eric is the first one out,” Steve said. “I want to kidnap him.”

Steve couldn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth. The worst part was that he meant them. This planet and job were hurting him, so much so that he truly fitted the mold of a smuggler enforcer. That scared Steve more than anything. For most of his time, he had envisioned himself better than most of the other crews out there and their enforcers.

Now, he was stooping to their level, and that infuriated him even more. The Marine vowed that after this job, he would revert back to his normal self. That had to happen since the Rossi needed him to help keep their heads on straight. Or was it the other way around? Either way, it didn’t matter.

They sat and watched the exit, waiting for someone on their list of men to exit. Nicole couldn’t say for certain if they were there or not. The building had blind spots as did other parts of the city. Her access was still amazing to Steve.

An hour passed, and the stream of people leaving the building were all low-level politicians or workers. One of them might well get a big promotion soon, but none were ones that they needed.

“There,” Rea said. She pointed, and sure enough, the slimeball Eric had left the building.

Steve couldn’t help but smile. It made his day that it was Eric that he would get to have some fun with him. “Nice.”

Eric walked to the parking lot, climbed into a sports car, and drove away.
