CHAPTER-25

He’d anticipated this. It wouldn’t be long before the Feds and their new super team put some pieces together and made a few educated guesses about what was to come. They had been easily manipulated to this point, but he suspected that was about to end. New teams take a while to gel—he knew that from experience.

No matter. He’d keep following what he knew to be the proper path toward the goal of balancing the scale of justice. His scale.

Lifting the old chrome handle, he exited the Chevy and stood in the ever-waning light of the late New Orleans afternoon. The heat of the day dissipated with the light.

“Ahh. What is life if not constant evolution and change?” he whispered.

Looking up and down the street for a fourth time, he saw only a couple of young kids riding their bikes away from where he stood. Other than that, he was alone.

Leaning back against the car, he resigned himself to wait a few more minutes to make sure his solitude wasn’t an illusion. Caution eliminated mistakes. Cases in point were the people in the warehouse, dear Lucretia, and all of the others over the last four years.

While killing was still on the unsavory side for him, doing what was necessary was not.

Rhodes’s thoughts shifted in another direction as he continued to wait for the right moment.

His final undertaking needed to be handled with effort and concentration, particularly with the advent of invasive technology over the last few years. He had to stay careful. Focused.

He hadn’t enjoyed expending effort on diverting law enforcement. But it had to be done. The less they discovered, the less time they had to discover it.

Were they sometimes incompetent? Perhaps. Easily mislead? Yes. But fools? Certainly not. Especially Agent Manny Williams. He’d have to watch that one, at least for another day and a half.

The other members of the ACTU were talented in their own rights, including their leader, Agent Joshua Corner. Some were even dangerous, but Williams was the straw that stirred the drink. Yet, Williams had weaknesses that would lead to his downfall, his failure to catch a killer. He would finish his task, and the media would explode into their usual uninformed frenzy, telling the world what he’d done and the Feds would be left holding their dicks. Including Agent Williams.

The profile regarding the profiler extraordinaire was straight forward.

The man was tireless, a true workaholic when turned loose, and he was most certainly out of the cage now. According to the research dating back from his days as a detective, he had “the gift.” Williams understood people, their motivations, and their anger. Which probably led to a few expressions of rage of his own.

All of that came in handy in Manny’s line of work. However, for all of his assets, Williams also held two explosive intangibles. One made him dangerous; the other was his Achilles heel.

Manny believed in the existence of God, the afterlife, Heaven. This outlook could lead him to be a little lax in regards to his own personal safety—he was saved, after all.
