Chapter 8

His heart beating trip-hammer fast, Jack headed for the conference room, where he had to try three times before he could open the thinner of the two packages. He heaved a mighty sigh as he looked at all the exquisite credentials Bert and Sparrow had managed to get for him and the guys, and Maggie, too. He laughed out loud when he read Sparrow’s note, which said, Whip these babies out and you are golden. What really set him off on a laughing jag was a picture of a golden, happy face behind a set of bars. He looked for his own set of credentials. He was for now Special Agent Anthony Lupine. Ted was Special Agent Andrew Molnar, Espinosa was Special Agent Raoul Samoza, Dennis was Special Agent Donald Ryder, and Maggie was Special Agent Lucinda Collins. There were no credentials for Harry because everyone had agreed that an Asian might be too easily remembered, and Harry’s picture had been in the papers too often, given his martial arts prowess and worldwide reputation in the field.

Jack eyed the second delivery, which wasn’t a soft-sided package but a hard cardboard box. He knew what was in it, but his jaw still dropped in awe as he slid his pocketknife through the heavy tape. Five guns. All Glocks. Disassembled, and wrapped in some kind of mystery packaging to thwart the scanners at FedEx, he surmised. The gun of choice for the fibbies. No ammunition. That was okay; they absolutely were not going to shoot anyone. At least not today. The guns were just for show.

He pried at the special packing and saw the shoulder holsters on the bottom of the box. The holsters looked old, worn, and real. He guessed it was true what he’d heard: If you had the money, you could get anything in Vegas. He supposed it was all in knowing the right people, or knowing people who knew the right people. Anything for a price.

It took Jack exactly fourteen minutes to assemble the Glocks. “Good to go, baby, good to go,” he muttered happily under his breath.

Because he had nothing else to do at the moment, Jack picked up one of the holsters and tried it on. He shoved the gun into it and practiced his draw. He was familiar with guns, had gone to the shooting range hundreds of times when he was an assistant district attorney. He’d always qualified. Thank God he had never had to draw on anyone. He also had a license to carry a gun in his real life but not as Special Agent Anthony Lupine.

Aha, the boys had slipped up. Nah. Not Sparrow. He rummaged in the box and found the licenses in an envelope that was stuck to the bottom of the plastic filler. The envelope read, Just in case. “Sorry I doubted you, Sparrow,” he muttered.

And then he remembered what he hadn’t been able to remember before: Andover’s launch after the New Year with its new rheumatoid arthritis medicine.
