I was able to get a few hours of sleep before the early morning sun streamed through the blinds of the windows and the glass door of my bedroom. I must have forgotten to tighten them for the blackout effect, but that was fine for this morning. I had too much to do, and I needed to get up and get started with the day.

I called LaShawn and left a voicemail, telling him that I was planning to come by to check on him after noon today. I figured that would give him plenty of time to let me know if that wasn’t a good time for him. I also didn’t want him to feel bombarded with guests and well-wishers. Getting out of the hospital was bound to get his co-workers and friends to rally around and go help him out. I just didn’t want to crowd him too much.

The next piece of business was to contact George and ask for his help in identifying the substances that I’d removed from the boat last night. I wasn’t about to try to figure those out on my own. And while he may not be able to tell me everything or exactly what they were, he’d still have a better idea than I did.

I also texted Xavier to let him know that I was on my way over to George’s and asked if he wanted me to swing by and pick him up. The answer came in while I was getting dressed.

If you don’t mind, yes. I would like to catch up on the facts of this drug situation. I have been going through all the information that you’ve sent, and I have some theories. I’ll be waiting at the office.

Seeing that I was on a schedule now, I hurried to finish up at the condo and head to the marina. My marina. That was taking some effort to get used to. But it was a necessary thing for the protection of Wraith and the secrecy of the team while in Miami.

There still was no response from George, but I was going to drop by anyway, whether he replied or not. I had the goods placed in a cold-storage icebox trunk with a locked clasp. I wasn’t taking any chances with them at all. I had also brought along the notebook from Detective Musik, and I was hoping that Xavier could shed some light on the more curious aspects of the details and notes.

I pulled into the parking lot of the marina and saw Xavier already headed for me. He had dressed in a tee and shorts, armed with his trusty laptop per the usual. His hair was wild and messy, with the brown, wavy locks going every which way. It looked to me that he was growing his hair out. Or maybe he just hadn’t found a barber that he could trust outside of Puerto Rico yet.

I had planned on stopping in and checking up on Lael and the place just in general, but I supposed that I would have to wait until later when I dropped Xavier back off.
