Chapter 12

“You’re one awesome dude.” Reid slapped Weasel’s back with approval. Not only did the genius hacker find the connection to Boss, he’d found a secret agent that reported directly to Senator Grant. The agent was hired by the senator to keep tabs on Boss and most likely all of ETE 7. With a phone number, Weasel was able to trace the agent to an address in Washington D.C. If they couldn’t find Boss, maybe they could find agent Fuller.

“Good job, Weasel.” Julianna smiled and lit up the otherwise mundane apartment.

“Thanks guys. You know, I think I may need to get a gun. This hacking you’re having me do seems pretty dangerous.”

Reid looked at Julianna and she nodded.

“Hey, we were thinking, it’d be a great time for you to take your mom on a cruise.” Reid took the tickets out of his pocket that they’d purchased for him. “Think of it as a perk.”

Weasel groaned. “A cruise… with my mom?”

The kid didn’t know how lucky he was. Reid would give anything to take Julianna on a cruise to get away from everything. “It’s for the best. The ship’s so big you won’t even know she’s there.”

Julianna nodded and placed her hand on Weasel’s shoulder. “Just for a couple of weeks.”

Weasel sighed and looked at Reid. “Is this payback? For me begging you not to kill my dad? Are you sending me to my death, too?” He paused and whispered, “You know, he died from a car accident a few weeks later.”

Julianna drew her brows together. She opened her mouth and Reid stood up. “No, I didn’t know. Sorry. Kid, if we were going to kill you, we wouldn’t be sending you off on a vacation. I’d remove my Glock and shoot you in the head. No need to be sneaky.”

Weasel glanced at Julianna with wide eyes.

“Time to go, Jewels. Weasel has a boat to catch.” He hadn’t exactly told her about how he had met Weasel.

Julianna shrugged apologetically. “Have fun.” She followed Reid outside. “You scared him.”

Reid sighed. “That wasn’t my intention. I was just being honest. I guess you want to know what that was all about.”

She eyed Reid as they walked down an alley. “I think I got the jest of it. Weasel’s dad was a hit that you chose not to go through with, but why? And how did you not follow instructions and live to tell about it? Or did you? Car accident?”

Reid kept his eyes peeled for Boss or anyone suspicious. “About three years ago, Boss gave me a name, told me the man was a traitor—” He rubbed his face. “When I got to his office parking garage, I was ready to pull the trigger. Until a kid, came out of no where and called to his dad. He’d seen me pull the gun. The guy and the kid both begged me to let him go. The kid told me he’d do anything if I let his dad live, that he wasn’t a bad man, he’d just made a mistake.
