“How long has it been since you’ve lost contact?”

“Three days now,” Lewis Greene said into his cell phone. He stood outside a rundown gas station. The place had an air of desperation about it. The scarred pavement was broken in several places, and the only cars that arrived to fuel up wore more rust and dirt than paint.

“They’re looking for you, did you know that?” the dark voice on the end of the line spoke softly. Lewis felt chills run up and down his spine. He hated talking to the boss. He’d much rather have called the go-between, but now that the heat was on, he’d been forbidden the contact.

“Yeah, I know they’re looking for me. Shit, I did what she told me to do. For what you’re paying me, I’ll leave behind a signed confession if that’s what you want.” He referred to the .38 casings covered with his fingerprints that he’d been ordered to leave behind. “You want me to find Savage and the woman or keep leading the others in circles?”

The voice remained silent a moment. “I know where Savage and that bitch are. I like the fact they’re together now. Things are getting much more interesting. They’re at Savage’s house in the historic district. But I don’t want you to do anything until I give you the go ahead. Understood?”

“Understood. I won’t move a muscle in their direction ’til I hear from you.”

“Very good, Lewis. Now in the meantime, copy this down and follow my directions. Go there and you’ll find the files I left for you on the table.”

Lewis wrote the information down on his hand and disconnected the call. He looked around, and seeing that everything looked clear, moved to the car he’d stolen yesterday.

He drove to an auto parts store near a deserted strip mall and parked in the back. At this hour, no one neared the closed shopping venue. He quickly gained entrance through the unlocked employees’ door. Once inside, he entered a four digit code to unlock the door to the stockroom and moved through the back to another door, this one painted black and locked as well. Per the instructions he’d been given, Lewis unlocked it and relocked it behind him.

Turning, he studied the multitude of computers and boxes of paper scattered around. It looked like a mini war room. He could just envision his boss standing with a pointer on an overhead map, dictating their course of action. A lot like Lewis’s own time in the service.

Suddenly, the lock behind him rattled. He stepped back into the shadows and fingered his gun, waiting. The door jerked open and a sleek brunette entered the room. She started when she saw him but made no overt move to leave.

“I hadn’t realized you’d be here.”

But the boss had told him to arrive. Apparently, the go-between didn’t share the boss’s confidence like he did.

The smile she gave him didn’t reach her cold, green eyes. “Hurry up and get out. I have a few things to do that don’t need an audience.
