The Meeting

Chapter 60

Halloway and Griffin were on another call from the Guardian via their speaker phone.

“So, what’s the plan Mr. Guardian man?” John wanted to know.

“Don’t be sarcastic with me. I don’t particularly think this is a joking matter.” The Guardian said. He had little patience, and loosing more by the minute.

Laura jabbed John in the ribs, “Okay. I’m sorry, just trying to lighten things up a bit. Go ahead.” He said

“Go out on SR160 towards the Red Rock Canyon Recreation area.”

“I know that, go on.”

“A ways out there’s a look out area on the right. It’s fairly large you can’t miss it.

“Park your car as close to the street side of the lot as you can. This time of year there should be heavy traffic. It may be busy. Walk to the rail as though you’re there to site see. Keep your hands were I can see them at all times.”

John knew the area very well. It would be a bit difficult for him to have Singletary and Smythe and the Guardian not see them. They’d have to be very creative. There was nothing past the railing at the far end of the parking lot. There was only a drop off. Then open desert going out to the Red Rock.

“I’ll call you on your Cell phone so make sure you have it with you.”

John looked at Laura, a puzzled look on his face. “How’d you get that number?”

“Does it really matter? Once I am sure that the area is secure I will call you and we can discuss a plan.”

“What time do we need to be there? It’s about a forty five minute drive from here you know?” Laura asked.

“Be there early, 10 AM sharp, tomorrow morning. Don’t be late.” The phone went dead.

“Well, there you have it. Tomorrow morning, 10 AM and don’t be late.” John mimicked.

“Try to be civil John,” Laura said. “He’s only trying to help.

“I know that. I’m having a little trouble trusting him, know what I mean?”

Halloway caught Singletary’s eye through the window to his office and motioned for him to come in. “Get Smythe and come in here.”

A few moments later, the two officers sat in front of John’s desk.

“Laura, John” they both greeted them.

“Okay, here’s the plan. We are to meet this Guardian at the look out area at Red Rock off SR160 tomorrow morning at 10 AM. You two will need to be there ahead of us. I don’t know. Somehow you need to figure out a way to stay out of sight.”

“No problem. We’ll get there plenty early. He won’t even know we’re there.”

“Don’t bank on it.” Laura said. “This guy’s a pretty sharp number.”

“Ya okay. But if he wants to work with us, it shouldn’t matter that we’re there, just like you said.”

“You’re right and I agree.” John said. “But we don’t want to spook him off either. At this point, like it or not, we need him on our side.”

“Well, that’s all I have, either of you two have any questions?”

They both shook their heads and said no, stood up.
