SEVEN â THE TAKEOVER
The rain still comes down in the city of Birmingham and the family is all gathered around the dinner table. Laura assumes control of the discussion with her words.
âIf anybody has any regrets or wants to back out, now is your time to do it. Once youâre in, youâre in all the way.â
They all look at each other and know for sure they have a difficult task at hand.
âGood. Letâs just hope I can count on all of you.â
Porter feels like thereâs been a jab thrown at him.
âWhat the fuck is that supposed to mean?â
His voice gets loud and Daniel, having a problem with that, stands up right away.
âWatch your mouth around my mother.â
Laura grabs his hand.
âNow baby relax, just relax. Porter here has a right to speak his mind when he needs to. He didnât mean anything by it.â
âLetâs all just come down and remember why we are here,â says Raven.
Laura concurs.
âSheâs right.â
Daniel takes a deep breath and sits down.
âOur main goal is to get to Simon and get some answers. Some of us want to do more than that but that only happens after we get all of our answers.â says Raven
âHe has hired hitmen all over the country so we really have to watch where we go and keep our moves very quiet,â says Porter. âItâs not going to be hard getting back to the agency. The problem is that we canât all travel together, it will look very suspicious.
âHe makes a very good point. At some juncture we have to go our own separate ways for us get everything in order.â
No one disagrees with any of the suggestions being made, so Laura just continues to speak.
âThe number one thing we have to do is get Simon alone. Now that he is aware of the fact that you didnât go through with your assignment, he should be traveling armed to the teeth with security at the moment.â
Porter looks at Raven. Laura takes notice.
âWhat was that look for?â
âOh nothing really.â
âAnyway as I was saying, we all know he will walk around with at least two armed men at all times. His house will be guarded and so will the agency.â
âThatâs where Porter comes in,â says Raven.
âWhat does that mean?â
âHe knows and has all the blueprints to the whole facility.â
Porter rolls out all the blueprints he has brought with him. He starts to point all over the copies.
âIt would be easier for us to go through this sewer entrance. Itâs been blocked off for years but a good set of bolt cutters will take care of all that.â
Laura has to take a closer look.
âTrust me they wonât see it coming.â
âTrust is a big word,â says Laura.
He gives her a slight smirk, but continues outlining his plan.
âIâll take care of all the logistics. Obviously she wonât be there because ofâ¦â
âBecause of what?â asks Laura.
âBecause you just had a baby and someone needs to be with him.â
âI was just making sure we are on the same page,â she says.
