Chapter Sixteen

Jax wandered the shops and stands of the bazaar, idly examining the items being peddled while his attention focused on the reports coming in through his earpiece. The team had planted listening devices on several crew members, and Cia was nearing the captain. He regretted for the first time during the trip that Juno hadn’t come along because her deft hands would’ve had the best chance at planting a bug on the pirate leader without detection. The plan was for the pilot to bump into him and attach it to his clothing—an oldie, but a goodie. Marshall was nearby, ready to intervene if something went wrong. Still, Jax wished it could be him there, either delivering the bug or backing up his friend. Can’t have everything, I guess.

Athena replied, “This is true. I’m sure it will all work out fine.”

He laughed inwardly. That’s very optimistic. Kind of rare for you.

“I have a good feeling about it.”

Her faith was rewarded a moment later as Cia reported, “It’s on him. No issues.”

Jax nodded and walked toward Cia’s location, following Athena’s directions. He picked up the pirate captain as the man entered a long hallway and dawdled at the entrance to allow his target to gain a solid lead. Rachi was headed toward one of the hotels, which seemed strange given that he and most of his crew had bunked aboard ship, and spoke of potentially interesting goings-on.

He ensured a substantial batch of people remained between him and his target. Despite what he’d said to the others about his stalking prowess, the scar would make him more noticeable. The bandana that covered his blonde hair and a casual shirt and denim pants rendered him very different-looking than he’d been at their previous meeting, and he was confident he could remain undetected. His pistols and the belt that held them were back on the ship, and while he felt naked without the weapons, they were too identifiable to wear on an operation requiring any measure of subtlety.

The man went into a hotel called Smugglers Respite. Jax walked past the entrance and stopped three businesses down while pretending to look at the bar’s menu. Athena, any surveillance access inside?

“No. Everything is wired into the main system, which I cannot get into. Believe me; it’s as frustrating to me as it is to you.”

Marshall sauntered down the hallway toward him. Jax covered his mouth with his hand and muttered, “Let’s leapfrog. You go in, find out where he’s going, then I’ll follow them.”

The other man nodded an affirmative and turned into the hotel. After several minutes, he said, “Dude’s walking in the direction of a large conference room on the first level, and a lot of the people here seem like they’re headed there too. A lot of people who look like pirates.”

Cia suggested, “Could be a clan meeting. If so, they’d want neutral ground, which could explain why they didn’t choose a ship. Maybe doing it there guarantees them some level of privacy. You
