Chapter 35

After Mitchell and I arrived at Concorde Marina on the east side of Porlamar Bay around three o’clock, we stayed hunkered down inside our rented Nissan for over an hour.

The whole time, though, we had our eyes on El Mano Fierro. It had anchored in Porlamar Bay along the sea wall approximately two hundred yards away from our location.

We were waiting for the arrival of the port captain, a man named Miguel Cobos. As soon as Cobos arrived and boarded El Mano Fierro, Mitchell and I would get on a fuel boat and make our way over to the yacht to begin the task of refueling—not to mention the task of leaving behind some electronic listening devices.

Earlier, Wylie had made arrangements with Juan Ortiz, the owner of one of the refueling stations, to use his boat and deliver fuel to the yacht. I wasn’t sure what kind of story Wylie had told Juan, but I knew it involved a great deal of cash—American dollars, not bolivares.

As we sat there observing the yacht, I told Mitchell about watching Hernando come aboard El Mano Fierro in Limón while I was at the Holiday Inn Express in Grand Blanc, Michigan.

Mitchell made a joke about my lounging around a hotel room in my pajamas while he was out doing all the work. I smiled, but all I could think about was saying goodbye to Nikki Saxon in that same hotel room.

I’m not closing the door; I’m doing everything I can to keep it open.

“Does it make you sick?”

For a split second, I thought Mitchell had asked me a question about my relationship with Nikki.

I tried to refocus. “Does what make me sick?”

“Being so near the water; seeing those boats bobbing around out there on the waves like that.”

“No, it doesn’t make me sick. I got sick at the boathouse that night because of something I ate on the plane.”

“It’s nothing to be ashamed of you know. A college buddy of mine had the same condition. He got sick every time he got near the water. In fact, he always took a Dramamine whenever he went to the beach.”

Even if a pill would take care of my nausea, I wouldn’t take anything that would make me drowsy—especially when I was about to be in the same neighborhood as Ahmed.

Once again, I told Mitchell I didn’t have a problem.

I don’t think he bought it, and I felt sure, when we took the fuel boat out to the yacht, he’d be watching me for any sign I might be ready to empty the contents of my stomach into the waters of the Caribbean.

That wasn’t going to happen, though, because I’d found a way to deal with my situation.

Earlier in the day, when Olivia had first announced Carlton’s plan to use the fuel boat to get aboard the yacht, I’d experienced a few moments of panic at the thought of being out on the water. But then, I tried what Javad had once told me he did whenever he thought the Iranian secret police had him under surveillance.
