After two more turns, Warren saw the lights of the bait shop a block away. “That’s where I met my CI. He’ll help us.” They crossed the street and slammed through the door, Warren casting one last look back to make sure the two men were still a turn behind them.

SG was behind the counter, cashing out the register. He didn’t look up. “We’re closed!”

“Need help,” Warren said. “This is Cole.”

SG looked up. “What the hell?”

“You got a piece?” Warren asked, jumping behind the counter. He scanned the shelves under the register.

SG grabbed his shoulder. “What in the hell?”

“Two guys. Following us.”

“I don’t keep a gun here.”

Warren leapt back over the counter and jogged across the store. Poking his head out, he saw the two men about a block away. They were turned, each looking into the window of a different storefront. He pulled his head back inside, pretty sure they hadn’t seen him.

They had two options. Assuming they’d lost the men, he and Cole could hide in the back and let them pass. But something in him wouldn’t accept this. He turned to Cole. She had that hard-thinking look he’d come to recognize. “Let them go or lure them in and find out who the hell these guys are?”

A slight smile moved across Cole’s face. “I’m tired of running away.”

“L-l-lure them in?” SG stammered. “What in the hell?”

Warren took Cole by the shoulders, then nodded toward the door. “Make sure they see you, then get back in and stay behind the counter. SG, I recommend you head to the back.”
