CHAPTER 8

Lawson thanked Kari for the coffee as he took the cup from her, and then watched her as she walked back towards the kitchen.

“That is a very lovely girl,” he said.

“Woman,” said Tyler, “And she’s mine,”

Lawson sat the cup down and raised his hands.

“I was simply admiring her, Professor.”

“Szabo,” he said, “Get back to telling us about Szabo, Lawson,” and Tyler nodded in agreement.

“There’s not much to tell really, he’s missing again, and now so is his supervisor, but the DEA—”

Lawson’s phone rang.

“I have to take this, sorry,” Lawson listened for a moment, said the word, “dead?”, and then told the person on the other end of the line that he would get back to them. “Szabo’s supervisor, Curt Baker, he was found dead at the safe house in Westland. There was no sign of Szabo.”

“Darnell has him again, and this time he wants him dead.”

“He most likely is dead, and you can bet that Darnell now has the laptop.”

He stood and paced for a moment, and then looked down at Lawson.

“What is the DEA going to do about this?”

“They’ll launch an investigation into Baker’s murder and Szabo’s disappearance, and after a period of time they either will or will not arrest Darnell in connection with those crimes.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes, that’s it, that’s all they can do, given the laws, restrictions, and limitations that they have to work within.”

“That’s insane,” Tyler said.

“Yes it is, Professor, but it’s also the way things are, which is why they created my department, because, sometimes gentlemen, the government gets tired of taking shit from people like lowlife drug dealers.”

“What are you saying, Lawson?”

“Take down Darnell Hopkins, dismantle his organization, and I’ll back you up with whatever you need.”

Tyler smiled. “Now we’re playing by my rules.”

***

They discussed strategy over dinner, and he made a request of Lawson.

“I want someone guarding this house while Tyler and I are out searching for Szabo.”

“That’s not a problem; I’ll station two men at the front door.”

He shook his head.

“That’s not good enough: I want someone I know can handle themselves, I want Jace.”

Lawson chuckled.

“What is it with you and that kid?”

“What do you mean?”

“He asked about you the other day and told me that he wanted to be paired with you whenever possible.”

“Well, now is his chance, but I don’t want him out in the field with us. I want him here, standing guard.”

“I guess that won’t be a problem, he’s fairly close and I can pull him off of what he’s doing; he’ll be here by morning, okay?”

“Yes, and thank you.”

“Who is this Jace, and why does Lawson call him a kid?” Tyler said.

“He is a kid compared to us, but no less deadly, and he’s smart. I trust him to keep Jessica and Kari safe.”

“That’s good enough for me, and I’ll feel better knowing there’s someone here if trouble shows up.”

Kari laughed.

“I still have the gun that Darnell’s bodyguard gave me; it just needs bullets.”

Tyler stared at her. “Just how friendly did you get with that guy?”

“Are you jealous, Professor?”

“Yes, and a little insecure,”

Kari smiled again.
