Reggie fumbled the keys to his big Ford truck while he was trying to transfer his coat and his briefcase to his other hand. “Shit.” He squatted down to retrieve them from the ground and as he felt the strain on his legs he told himself that he needed to get back to the gym soon. Too many long hours behind a desk and too many donuts had been replacing his regular visits to the gym. With a huff, the large man stood up again only to see a woman in a black business suit standing on the opposite side of his truck.

“Agent Burns? I’m Nancy Timmerman, Homeland Security. Is there somewhere we can talk?” She was on the short side, Reggie guessed she was about five foot two with a short afro cut and ebony skin. She was built like a fire plug and looked tough as nails, Reggie was a big man but he knew that he did not want to get on the bad side of this woman.

“Sure.” With his key fob Reggie unlocked the doors to his truck. “Hop in.” Once he had tossed his files and his coat into the back of the cab he turned back to face her. “So what’s going on that Homeland wants to talk to little old me?”

She opened the file folder she was holding and pulled out a sheet of paper along with a photo of a woman he did not recognize. “You’re friends with Kelly King.” She stated, it was not a question, she already knew the answer. “Formerly of the FBI, did a little time and now works as a bounty hunter for the mob.”

Reggie frowned as he looked at the report, why was Homeland interested in Kelly? “You seem to know all about her, what are you talking to me for?”

“King has gotten herself involved with a woman named Sonja Moretti. We have been trying to make contact with Moretti for a long time now but haven’t been able to. We want you to relay a message to Moretti through King.” Her tone was all business and her brown eyes never wavered from his. “Homeland is interested in a meeting with Moretti we would be grateful if King would arrange it.”

Reggie chuckled and Nancy raised an eyebrow in response. “What’s so funny?”

“It’s just that if Kelly heard you calling her King she would refuse on general principle. She hates that.”

Nancy gave him a humorless smirk. “Well, I’ll keep that in mind. When you get the message to her, have her call me here.” She handed him her business card with her number printed on the bottom.

“That’s if I get in contact with her, she’s a very busy woman.”

Suddenly a piece of lint seemed very interesting on the leg of her pants as Nancy busied her hands. “Yes she seemed to be very busy with that shootout at Ivan Popov’s nightclub.” She looked up to see Reggie’s eyebrows raised in surprise. “Oh you didn’t know, well I’m sure she’ll share it with you when you speak again.
