He told them he was going for a walk into town, and maybe pick up one of the whores. When they told him they could get one to come there, he said he needed the exercise. Someone sniggered and murmured something about was the exercise the walk or the sex, but they went quiet. They’d forgotten the kind of man they were dealing with. Diego Rivera strode outside. When he was sure no one was looking, he went to the vehicle park behind the main house and opened his supercharged convertible Jaguar XKR sports car. A vehicle he cherished above so many things, and it’d be perfect to make the journey in no time. He drove to the main gate. They waved him down to stop, until they saw who it was. Immediately, they stood aside. Rivera had a reputation that made even murdering thugs cautious about crossing him.

He drove fast, not even stopping to snort more cocaine. When he reached the crossing at Ciudad Juarez, he was flying. They saw him two hundred yards before he reached it. A combination of money and fear prompted them to wave him into the staff parking lot, and he slipped a guard ten one-hundred-dollar bills. The guy waved him to the front of the queue, and he was out of Mexico. Driving to the U.S. side, he produced a passport that carried his photo, but the name inside was Carlos Lopez. A businessman with extensive connections throughout the Americas, and they waved him through within minutes.

He didn’t know where he was going, only that he had a job to do. Something Paco had told him was important, and he accelerated onto the highway, heading north. Not sure where he was going, only that he had to go there. He drove for three hundred miles, looking around for something familiar, and then he saw it. The sign at the side of the road, ‘Welcome to Lewes.’ He grinned to himself, a friendly town, and it would be a pushover.

How can they know I’ve arrived from Mexico to kill a woman with dark hair and her two sons? There’s no way. It’ll be a complete surprise, and when the task is done, I’ll return to Guadalez, and Paco will be pleased.

There was one thing missing, his Panama hat, and when he’d parked the Jaguar, he found a store, and bought one that was a reasonable fit. Smiling to himself, it wouldn’t do to be anything other than smart and well-dressed to carry out a hit. Besides, the brim of the hat would hide him from the gaze of the CCTV cameras.

He went into the bathroom, found a store, and checked his Beretta. The tiny pistol that had never let him down, and the magazine was full. He tucked it into his waistband where he could access it in a flash, adjusted his hat in the mirror, and stepped back out into the busy mall. After a few minutes walking through the crowds, he found what he wanted.
