Chapter 5

Colin had been trained for situations exactly like this, which is the only reason he remained outwardly calm. Inside, he was pissed he had taken his eyes off Sophia for one minute. This was his fault, damn it!

A mountain of a man held Sophia in a one-handed chokehold. With his other hand, he dug a modified P90 into her temple. She was ghost white, naked, and from the looks of her, about to faint.

“The boss ain’t gonna be happy when he finds out you been dipping into the family assets,” Guido said.

Colin shrugged it off like it was no big deal, wondering where Guido’s partner was. Probably waiting outside with the car running. “We both know you won’t pull that trigger,” Colin said. “So I guess the question is, are you going to make a break with just the girl or are you going to try and be a cowboy and take me with you for the extra Brownie points?”

Guido nodded and pointed the mini machine gun at Colin’s chest then lowered it to his dick. “We got room for you.” He pulled the trigger just as Sophia dropped to the floor, elbowing Guido in the balls on her way down. It was enough to throw his aim off. Colin pulled the Glock and capped off a single round, hitting the guy right between the eyes. Guido’s three-hundred-pound body buckled to its knees, then toppled forward. Sophia screamed and rushed to Colin. He pulled her behind him and leveled the barrel at the unmoving heap on the floor.

“Get dressed,” Colin said as he grabbed the P90 out of Guido’s hand and rifled through his pockets for another magazine. Jackpot! One fifty-rounder. He kept the P90 out and stuffed his gun and the magazine into the duffel bag.

Sophie dressed in a rush with Colin right behind her. Together they dragged the dead assassin into the bathroom, hoisted him into the tub, and tossed all of the towels on top of him. Colin grabbed his duffel bag and Sophia’s hand, then moved toward the door. Cracking it open, he looked down the long hallway before he pulled Sophia out and toward the stairs. They went up two flights. Urgency gripped him. If the other half of Guido’s team wasn’t already looking for him, he would be soon, probably via the service elevator.

“Back down the stairs to the lobby floor,” Colin said evenly. He kept his voice level, his movements precise, and his breathing even, hoping to keep Sophia calm. If she lost it, they’d be in big trouble.

Sophia followed silently. At such an early hour the lobby was graveyard quiet. Colin pulled Sophia along and into the ladies’ room. After he made sure they were alone, he pulled out the throwaway cell phones. She gasped when he smashed them against the counter and then did the same thing with his iPad. “Why did you do that?” she asked as he scooped up the pieces and dumped them into the trash can.
