Chapter Twenty-Two

Lincoln

The doors of the transport truck finally opened, filling my lungs with fresh, clean air.

It had been a bumpy ride the entire way seeing as how Braydon drove the truck the same way as he drove his bike: reckless.

“Still in one piece back there?” he asked.

I leapt out the back and landed on the soft earth outside of a quaint looking farmhouse.

“Where are we?” I asked.

“Meeting point,” Braydon said. “We’re just waiting for the others to arrive.”

“Is it safe here?”

“Should be. It’s one of the safe houses for my club.”

In the distance, I heard the sounds of another bike fast approaching and sure enough, Beau found his way to us as well.

He dismounted from his bike and pulled his helmet off. “Others show yet?” he asked.

I shook my head.

Beau frowned. “How long we giving them before we move on?”

Braydon shrugged. “I don’t know. The original plan was to get in touch with the command center once we got here and then figure out where to rally. The line on the other side has been dead for the past thirty minutes. I can’t get a hold of Cairo or Isadora either.”

A feeling of cold dread engulfed me. These days, I couldn’t help but expect the worse.

“You have a phone?” I asked.

Braydon shook his head. “We abandoned our phones for this mission. Too easy to run a trace on them and pinpoint their frequencies. All we have are our headsets.”

“And you haven’t heard anything form either Shadow or Aria?”

“Nothing. As I said, the other side went dead.”

I grimaced at his words. It almost seemed like Braydon placed an emphasis on the word ‘dead.’

“So now what, bastard?” Beau asked. “We sit on this place and wait? We still don’t know if Cairo made it out. And I assume the crazy witch went and got herself killed.”

Braydon shrugged. “Until we get a hold of someone on the other line, we don’t have any place we need to be. We can sit here for a little. The location is remote enough that I figure we can spend a few hours before we need to move on.”

We were interrupted by the sounds of another vehicle coming towards us, a storm of dust clouds trailing in the distance.

Instinctively, both Braydon and Beau reached for their weapons.

“Shit,” Braydon said. “For sure I thought we lost the tail within the tunnels.”

“Maybe you’re losing your edge,” Beau suggested. “All your time out there living in Canada has made you soft.”

“Shut up and look for cover.”

My hands felt glaringly empty.

“You guys got a weapon for me?”

Braydon shrugged. “I packed light. There’s a wrench resting atop of that old tire over there?” he said, pointing to the black rubber a few yards away.

I shook my head and addressed both brothers. “You two are more alike than you’d ever believe.”

The black Mercedes soon appeared into view. Those were the same cars the Chinese were driving.

“Let ‘er rip?” Beau suggested.

“No,” I stated. “The car’s slowing down. Let’s see how this plays out.”

Beau sighed.
