“Obviously, we have to stop the shipment,” I said. Kippy, Rosa, Xavier, and I were back at our hotel room, having left Luz to skulk in her office and Adella to try to dig up some more information on when the boats would be leaving tonight and where they were headed.

I sat on the back of the couch, my feet on the cushions and my elbows propped up on my knees. I was excited that we finally had a chance to run some interference and mess with the Yabut’s plans, but I was working hard to sit still and think things through all the way.

“That might blow our cover,” Kippy pointed out. “We’d have to make sure that they either don’t see our faces, or they don’t make it back alive.”

“We can work with that,” I said. I checked the time on my phone. It was about six p.m., so we still had several hours of sunlight left, though we’d need time to make it down to the private boathouse we’d left Wraith in. “We can take Wraith out and keep an eye on the port, and once the boats leave, we tail them until they’re far enough out that they can’t escape back to Barranquilla, and then we take them out.”

And figure out what they’re shipping, Rosa added. We need to make sure this is related to the Judge and not something else entirely.

“Even if it’s not, we’re still interrupting their plans, which is good, but Rosa’s right,” I agreed. “If we can figure out their route, too, all the better.”

“I texted Doc to ask if he’s heard of any movement on his end, but he said no,” Xavier said. “He’ll keep an ear to the ground, though.”

“We should get moving,” I said. “I want to be out on the water before it gets dark so we can make sure we’re in place to catch the boats leaving.”

The others nodded, and we quickly gathered up anything we thought we might need—weapons, mostly, but we also changed into darker clothes to better blend into the night once it fell.

“Can we get dinner first?” Kippy asked as we headed for the door. “I’m starving.”

I was also hungry, I realized, and food was probably a good idea since we didn’t know how long we’d be out on the water.

“We can get takeout,” I decided, figuring a fifteen-minute delay wouldn’t break the mission so long as we kept things efficient.

We headed down to the first floor and crossed the lobby to the exit, fixing sunglasses on our faces as we stepped outside. Rosa had snagged the keys off the coffee table, so she got to drive, grinning as she slid into the vehicle and wrapped her hands around the steering wheel. Xavier was our GPS, so he took the shotgun seat, and I grumbled, but I got in the back with Kippy. She rolled down her window to air out the faintly stale smell that always seemed to hang around our borrowed car.

We swung through a drive-through first and picked up some fast food.
