Chapter Eight

Felix Barrera took one of his specially blended cigars out of the humidor in his den, inhaled it for a moment then lit it with his sold gold lighter. He took a moment to blow perfect smoke rings while he waited for Ruben Vidal to arrive. Lately his specially ordered, hand-rolled cigars seemed to be the only thing that calmed him down.

There was still no trace of Melinda Clayton, which royally pissed him off. He’d had men following every member of the Albado family and that had led nowhere, which pissed him off even more. He was sure the bitch was in that house somewhere, but the question was, where? His men had gone through it top to bottom, but there hadn’t been a trace of her. How the hell had the Albados managed that?

His men should have done it tonight. A good way to start the weekend. Except everyone in the Albado family had been out. He didn’t want to raid an empty house. It was important to him that the people who lived there, who had committed the sin of protecting an enemy, should witness the search and be punished for it. The fact that the house was empty frustrated the fucking hell out of him.

“Still nothing?” he asked as Ruben walked into the room.

Vidal shook his head. “Not even a sniff. And let me tell you, I’ve had people looking everywhere.”

“The checkpoints are still up?”

“Si! And I just did an all-points check and they are now all in place. We’ve pretty much locked down the city as far as they’re concerned, although where the hell would they go, anyway?”

Barrera shrugged. “The marina. The airport, maybe trying to sneak onto a private plane. Depends on how stupid they are.”

“Okay, I’ll change the teams at eight in the morning. How long do you want to keep them going?”

“Until I find that stupid bitch. Whatever it takes.”

“Well.” Ruben shrugged. “There’s no way she can get to the water without us knowing it. Every single road out of town, even the narrow ones, has a checkpoint.”

“The airport is out. She can’t get on a commercial flight without my being notified and I have men watching every private plane leaving here, even checking the inside before clearing them for takeoff. I keep telling myself we’ve got her, but then why don’t I have my hands on her? How has this bitch made herself so invisible?”

Ruben frowned. “I’m still not so sure why you have such a hard-on for this female. I didn’t see anything about her that stands out.”

“It’s my instincts, Ruben. Instincts I’ve developed over all these years. There’s something about her that smells like trouble, and I’m going to find out what it is. Then I’m going to find her and peel her skin off one layer at a time. We have to find that Clayton woman.” He bit down on the cigar. “I can’t believe she got off the island without any of us knowing. We keep a
