Sutton left the diner and drove to Jack Riley’s. Just as Leslie said, he found Howie sitting near the bartender, hunched over, downing a shot of whiskey. Sutton left the bar, then sat in his Tesla to wait.

According to the sign posted beside the door, the bar stayed open until two a.m. Sutton sighed, leaning back against his seat. He couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of the situation. He’d planned this day down to the detail, thought he’d be long dead by now. He never dreamt he’d be sitting outside a bar waiting for some bozo to come out so he could take care of him.

He pulled out his phone and dialed his trusted friend, Landry Stevens. They’d served in the Royal Navy together and had an agreement. If one of them ever needed a favor, the other would return it without hesitation. Landry ran a private security firm and was so well connected that Sutton knew he could help with any situation. Sure enough, when Sutton explained the problem, Landry had an immediate solution.

“I’ll get in touch with my friend and tell him to expect your call,” Landry said. They spoke for a few more minutes, Landry expressing his condolences about Doug, before Sutton ended the call.

Sutton couldn’t explain it, but something had changed after his conversation with Leslie. Now that he was focused on helping her, his own problems weren’t as painful. Almost like … a miracle. It was empowering to know that he could make a difference in someone’s life—give Leslie and her son a shot at hope. This problem was within his power to fix. “Bet you didn’t see this one coming, did you, Doug?” he said aloud with a chuckle. “Well, it’s okay. Neither did I.”

It was after midnight, and Howie still hadn’t emerged from the bar. Sutton figured the man was so drunk by now that he wouldn’t put up much of a fight. Shame, really.

Sutton’s senses went on full alert when Howie stumbled out of the bar. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his mind racing through the process. He wasn’t sure where it would go down, exactly, but he’d meet the objective. He assumed Howie would get into a car, but was surprised when he walked down the sidewalk instead. That must mean that Leslie lived nearby. This would be easier than he thought.

Sutton inched behind Howie, his Tesla moving soundlessly at a snail’s pace, the headlights turned off. When he bought the car, he’d figured out how to jailbreak it to get rid of the annoying whine at low speeds that was supposed to alert pedestrians. Who knew it would turn out helpful in a covert op like this?

He had to make sure and keep enough distance between him and Howie, so he wouldn’t get suspicious. He glanced at the storefronts on either side of the street. Even though there wasn’t another person in sight, there were too many street lamps to make a move here and risk being seen or picked up on a random surveillance video.
