TWO DAYS before Christmas he was in Chicago, sighting through his rifle scope on a little apartment closer to the projects than the river, but in decent repair when all was said and done. Troy Gonzalez sat at his window, working on his laptop, apparently planning how to cash out all his cryptocurrency and buy a house in the suburbs to support his wife and unborn child.

Burton felt bad for the guy—such a simple want, really. And he’d earned the money legally, fair and square, during his free time from his job as an IT guy at a local bank. Jason could get the kid and his family protective custody, and they could get them a small house somewhere besides Chicago where Troy could have a new name and a new job—but he couldn’t let Troy keep the money. As soon as the hit was faked, they were going to have to close down Freedom Tuba, the cryptocurrency company, anyway. All the money Troy had earned would be useless—but he’d still be alive.

Burton scanned the area restlessly, not liking the feeling in his gut. He’d monitored Lacey and Hamblin again to make sure Lacey wasn’t sending another shadow after him like he’d first planned. But just like with Rivers and Cramer, there were lots of opportunities for the two of them to discuss relevant business when Burton wasn’t listening.

The idea of one of Lacey’s bullies scoping out Troy Gonzalez and his pretty wife, Tisha, made Burton itchy.

He checked on Troy again, trying not to smile as he watched him bob and weave to the music through his earbuds. At first Burton had assumed he was listening to R & B tracks, but after two nights of monitoring in between bouts of setting up the decoy plan, Burton had caught some strains of American musical theater through the boy’s system.

Hamilton today—but yesterday it had been Jesus Christ Superstar, and Burton was still humming it. The kid reminded him a little of his younger brother. The hair shaved on the sides and growing into spring curls on the top of his head was James’s style, and so was the narrow face and high cheekbones. But the build and the moves were all Ernie, liquid and boneless, like he was slinking through life. Troy’s wife adored him, and the day before he’d caught them dancing, the choreography pure AMT, which was where their jacket said they’d met.

He liked to think that he wouldn’t have completed this contract even if he’d never met Ernie, but Ernie had pretty much clinched it. Burton could never take out another target on his handler’s say-so alone—he was about to become a royal pain in the ass.

Burton scanned the area again, startling when he caught sight of a flash in a window two floors below him, to his left. What in the fu—

Leavins—he saw the dark egg-shaped buzz cut first and the hands pumping a bullet into the chamber next. Oh fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck—

A shot like this, at a shallow angle, should have taken him a week to prep.
