Chapter 9

“Cole, are you there?” Parker asked.

Without getting a response, she waited a minute before trying again. She wasn’t overly concerned at this point, since she knew it was possible he was in a position where he was close to his target and couldn’t speak without risking giving away his presence. Her and Turner had just left Misty’s residence and were driving to the Santa Monica address where Cole was supposed to be.

“Cole?” she asked again.

She still got no response. It was about a twenty minute drive, depending on traffic. Worried that her partner may be in trouble, Parker put the pedal to the metal.

“He’s OK,” Turner stated, trying to clear his girlfriend’s mind.

“I know he is,” she replied, not totally sure she believed it.

“He probably just can’t talk right now. You’ve been there.”

“I know.”

“So don’t worry.”

Though they didn’t know it for a fact, Cole was actually not in any imminent danger. He was inside the house that belonged to Arsenyev. It wasn’t the biggest house on the block but it was a nice piece of property. A small, white picket fence lined the outside of the white house, with green trim and green shutters. He heard Parker trying to communicate with him, but didn’t want to give his position away. He was in the corner of the living room. It was pitch black in there. Not a single light on except for a digital clock on an end table. In fact, most of the entire house was dark. A small light in the kitchen was on, but not much else.

As Cole slowly walked through the house, he heard noises coming from the bedroom. From the sounds of it, it appeared they were having a good old time. Walking down the hallway to the bedroom, Cole almost tripped over a shirt thrown on the floor. He first went into a couple other bedrooms, just to make sure there was nobody else in the house that would throw him for a surprise. The rest of the house seemed to be clear. It was just Arsenyev and Misty going at it in the bedroom. Cole stood just outside the bedroom door and listened for a minute. He wanted to make sure he’d get the jump on his Russian friend. Deciding it was time to make his move, Cole forcefully pushed open the door, slamming it into the wall. Arsenyev was on the bed, straddling overtop of Misty. He jumped up at the sight of the intruder and threw his arms in the air, knowing he wasn’t able to get to his gun on the side table. Misty pulled the sheets up to her neck so only her face was showing, afraid of the stranger with the gun.

“Who are you and what do you want?” Arsenyev asked.

“I’m the boogeyman. And I’m here to kill you,” Cole replied, somewhat energetically.

Arsenyev puffed at the bravado of his counterpart. “Well then do it. What are you waiting…”

Cole didn’t let the Russian finish his sentence. With his gun pointed right at the man’s chest, Cole let his pistol do all the talking necessary.
