Chapter Fourteen

Daniel had disappeared again.

The irritation that threatened to unhinge Miguel rose to the surface. He had no doubt his son would return. The boy was too bold and full of himself not to.

So he would wait patiently. First for his son to return, and then for Stacy to return. Though nothing would have killed Hawk’s will and pride more than having his wife choose Michael, Miguel could be flexible. His original plan to bring her to her knees might have been more satisfying. Revenge was funny that way. It wasn’t picky. Miguel would use another method.

Daniel would help. Miguel had learned a lesson about Daniel’s growing independent streak, and in the end, he would use his son’s new-found passion so they would both get what they wanted.

Ten years had given him such an ache.

Finally, he would have his day. He would take from Hawk what had been taken from him.

Miguel sighed as he went to the back porch of the old property on the north side of Punta Gorda and flipped the electrical breakers on the box at the back of the house. The kitchen and the bedroom lights shut down. He emptied his vehicle. Brown bags of groceries for the next week. His own small bag with extra clothes. And then finally, his weapons cases. Two Walthers, ammo, a set of knives, and last but not least…

Miguel lifted the lid of the box compartment at the bottom of the case.

Two bars of C4. Three detonators.

His fingers brushed the roll of wire, shook a little at the anticipation of the fireworks to come.

It was time to narrow the field, bring the players to him.

The backdoor slammed shut. His son had arrived.

“Where have you been?”

Daniel shrugged. “I had business.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Yes,” Miguel corrected without even thinking about it. He scowled. “Your business is here now. Anything you feel needs to be done goes through me first.”

The mulish gleam in his son’s eyes predicted the fight on his tongue. Daniel merely scoffed and made his way to the fridge. “There’s nothing to eat.”

“I have the room at the hotel for a few more nights. It wouldn’t do to disappear without a trace, yet. That would only raise questions.” Miguel zipped the case in front of him.

“Nathan Hawkins and Stacy are on vacation with no care for you.”

Carefully lifting the case, he brought it through the doorway and into the living room. A folding table and two chairs sat on the opposite wall under a window. “Daniel,” Miguel called out to him, ignoring the disdain and the underlying bitterness of his son’s tone. “I need a chair. Go get one.”

“What the hell do you need a chair for?”

“For our visitors,” Miguel answered with the patience of a saint. Daniel had learned obstinacy during his time in the States, with his aunt. He regretted those years. Desperate without Nina, he had no one but his sister to turn to. He hadn’t known what to do with such a young boy. He’d had a business to pull out of the barrel.
