Training

Tanner and Romeo entered the office building after traveling through the tunnel connecting it to the pizza parlor. He and Romeo were dressed alike in jeans and leather jackets.

Sammy Giacconi greeted them as they stepped off the elevator. He had an AR-15 hanging from a sling.

“I see you’re expecting trouble,” Tanner said as they started walking toward the conference room.

“Uncle Joe had a close call last night, and there are still two groups of gangbangers out there looking to kill him.”

“So I heard. Who else is here?”

“Finn and Rico. Adamo Conti is out on the streets with a few guys trying to hunt down the Primeros. If they find them, they’re to call here and let us know where they are.”

“If they don’t find them, we’ll make sure that the Primeros find us.”

“Uncle Joe told me about your plan. I like it. Those bastards will be stepping right into a trap.”

“Let’s hope so. But we’re relying on Joe’s tipster to come through for us. If he doesn’t, we’ll have to try another plan.”

“Do you have one?”

“Several.”

“I figured you’d say that.”

They reached the conference room. There were two men standing outside it with rifles of their own. They straightened a bit when they saw Sammy, then appeared to tense up when Tanner met their eyes.

Tanner had seen them before but didn’t know their names. If Pullo had them guarding him, that meant that they were all right. He sent them a nod and the men relaxed.

There was food available in the conference room in the form of Chinese take-out. Tanner and Romeo declined it and settled for coffee. They had both eaten back at the penthouse with their families.

Pullo pointed at Rico. “He knows this cartel hitter that’s on his way here. Get this, the guy used to work for Alvarado.”

“He was one of Alonso’s favorites,” Rico said. “And he had known Morelos for many years.”

“Why didn’t Alvarado send him after me when I was in Mexico to kill him?”

“Morelos had been shot just before you and Alonso faced off. He must have been still recovering from his wound back then.”

“That makes this more than a contract for Morelos. He’s also out for a taste of revenge. Maybe that will make him careless.”

“Don’t count on that,” Rico said. “Morelos is no hothead. He’s smart and he’s been a sicario since he was about fifteen, or so Alonso said once. I’m not surprised he was chosen to go up against you, Tanner. He may not be in your league, but he won’t be easy to kill either.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“One more thing, back when I knew him, Morelos often worked with a crew. They were all killed when he was injured, but it’s possible he won’t be alone.”

“Thanks for the info, Rico. For now, we need to deal with the hit teams. Joe, is your informant certain they weren’t gunning for Tyrese too? He was with you last night.”

“I’m sure they’ll go after him eventually, but he’s not their main target. They want us dead, Tanner.
