CHAPTER 31

The Hard Rock Café was jumping.

Eva fought her way to the bar as Guns N’ Roses exploded from the speakers, and when she caught the bartender’s eye she ordered a loaded burger and a mineral water. His look told her she was out of place among the predominantly young crowd, and Eva felt the same way.

After landing at Atlanta Airport, she’d taken a taxi straight to the venue, touching up her old-woman makeup on the way. She’d have to continue wearing the disguise until she had a chance to buy some new clothes, but first things first. The British operatives she’d hired would be here within a couple of hours, and as soon as they arrived they’d all set off for Louisville to pick up Colback and Farooq.

After that, she expected things to get interesting.

Anton West was her first target. If he’d been in touch with the ESO, he would have a contact number. That should be enough for Farooq to trace the owner.

Hopefully.

If the ESO had the power to prevent their numbers being recorded in government databases, they would probably have other security measures in place. But then again, she’d never expected it to be easy. Taking on an entity that had unlimited resources at its disposal was suicidal at best, but the alternative—sitting around waiting for someone to put a bullet in her brain—was even less appealing.

Eva found a booth and used the maps app on her phone to look up the town Anton West called home. She’d already ruled out a strike on his place of work: it was bound to be guarded, and she didn’t want to announce herself with a vicious firefight. She wanted West alive—if only initially—so it made most sense to hit him at home or in transit.

The township of Olney was in Montgomery County, Maryland, twenty miles north of D.C. West’s house was one of just eight on a quiet leafy road near the country club. The surrounding houses were set back from the road, all of them with trees out front, which would help shield her and the team from nosy neighbors. The next step would be to set up reconnaissance on the place and determine the best time to strike.

Her food arrived and Eva tucked in, her eyes on the exits. She’d scoped out the place before flying to the UK, to know her options in case anyone suspicious entered the bar.

Eva managed to finish her meal without being accosted, then took her phone out again and pretended to be interested in it while waiting for her hired help to arrive.

About forty minutes early, two men entered the bar. They didn’t seem the Special Forces type. One was small with short blond hair; the other was much taller and carried a little too much around the waist. She turned her attention back to the door as the newcomers disappeared into the crowd, hoping her new recruits would get there without any issues. There was no reason to think they would be stopped at the airports, but flights often got delayed or canceled.
