We landed in Cayman six hours later. Iâd contracted Hanji to lift us, and to standby in case we needed an emergency air evac from Misteriosa. From my crew, I brought Tipsy, Squish, a shark shaman named Bytes, two gunners, Dondy and Shank, who werenât heavier-than-water chromed, Tweaker, an intrusion specialist, and Pak, who was a physical adept. Sadlyâand against her protestationsâIâd sent O.C. back to Montego Bay with the rest of my people. Swimmingâs impossible with a hundred kilos of metal melded to your bones, and we might end up in the drink. This wasnât her type of op.
We were met at the terminal by Hendersonâs personal assistant, a fellow named Blake who looked skeptical, but had been ordered to be helpful. He walked us around customs and immigration, even though our papers, albeit forged, were in order. I donât know if the tourists actually believed we were a reggae band arriving for a gig, but we looked the part. Weâd even traded our duffle bags for instrument cases, but if theyâd been X-rayed, the tech would probably have had a heart attack.
Hendersonâs man escorted us out to the bustling curbside. A sharp whistle caught my ear, and I espied Ice Cream, garbed in her usual white Armorani, waving from the running board of a roll-up panel truck. How she kept so spiffy clean, Iâll never know. Since weâd been using her fixer, Skeeve, to set up most of this opâs talent outside my own crew, Ice Cream had volunteered to come along. Aside from her contacts, she was one of the best Iâd ever run with, a welcome addition. I thanked Blake and we hefted our bags.
Ice Cream hopped down as we approached and rolled up to the back of the vehicle.
âGood ta see you, Tiya.â I shoved my bag into the back and scooped her up in a hard embrace. âTâanks for cominâ. No profit on dis one, and we wadinâ into a shitstorm.â
âNo problem, mon.â When I put her down, she greeted the rest of the crew, then turned back to me. âTwizzler and Goombay are already aboard. Weâre good to go.â
âRaja dat!â The two hired shamans were non-combatants on this run, as were Bytz and Squish. They would stay aboard our ride and provide cover and recon, magical and network, respectively. I waved my crew aboard and took a seat up front with Tiya. âYour riggerâs online, I âope.â
âReady and waiting just north of the sound. Waterâs too shallow for Deep Rose, and itâd be best if nobody ashore saw us board. I chartered a fishing boat to ferry us out. Local guy. Solid.â She jammed the rental truck in gear and pulled into the traffic. âYou look tired.â
âDidnât sleep much. Too many air miles, and I donât fly so good. I be alright once we on de wata.â We would have a few hours aboard Deep Rose in transit, and I planned to burn a spliff and get some quick shuteye. âYa sure Rose okay with dis run? She tryân kill ya once already, anâ she worked for de Kofo ta boot.
