“I would like you to observe dad,” Griz mentioned. “If Ripper has gone sideways on us, he would possibly make a play for him on the hospital, to ensure any opposition to his plans by no means occurs.”

“Proper,” Wyatt mentioned. “I’ll be there. Nobody’s going to the touch Boomer.”

“Okay, then,” Griz mentioned. “Nothing left to do, however do it, then.”

Griz didn’t prefer it.

He didn’t like something about it; not the place, not the deal, not the folks. He and Pony have been standing in the midst of a discipline, in the dark, subsequent to the identical van that had been shot up on their doomed tour into Philly.

Within the distance, he may see two units of headlights making their approach towards him. There was a mud street… extra of a monitor, actually… that went alongside the sting of the sphere, and people two autos have been choosing their approach alongside it slowly.

Out in the midst of nowhere, at one within the morning, ready to fulfill with the cartel. In order that they might purchase military-level weapons.

All of the reservations got here again. Had been they going to make issues worse, in the event that they began going after Dying’s Head with navy weapons? Or was it too late?

And the cartel. Griz’s dad had all the time shunned away from any dealings with them. Lie down with canine, you stand up with fleas, he’d mentioned. And the individuals who handled the cartel had a foul behavior of by no means with the ability to shake unfastened from them. As soon as they’d your quantity, they owned you.

“Two autos,” Pony mentioned subsequent to him.

“Yeah.”

“There was solely speculated to be one.”

“Yeah,” Griz mentioned.

“Ought to we break up?”

Griz appeared on the darkish form of the place the tree line blotted out the celebs. The timber have been 100 yards away, perhaps rather less. They have been caught out right here, within the open, with nowhere to go if one thing went incorrect.

“Griz?”

“I believe we’ve to play this one out, Pony,” Griz mentioned.

“Roger that.”

Griz was glad Pony was alongside. He’d confirmed himself helpful through the ambush in Philly, and his navy expertise would positively turn out to be useful if the battle stored heating up. Nonetheless, he needed to surprise if he was asking an excessive amount of of the person, too quick.

The 2 autos drew shut and eventually got here to a cease in entrance of them. It was two giant SUVs, black, the type that political VIPs drove round in. Griz guessed they have been most likely bulletproof.

The SUVs left their headlights on as 4 males bought out, two from every automobile. Three of them had rifles of their palms and so they fanned out shortly, masking all angles whereas staying near the autos.

The fourth was unarmed and paid no consideration to the opposite three. He approached Griz and Pony with a simple, measured stride and a straightforward smile on his face to match.

Griz appeared him over. Medium top, Hispanic, match, sporting a finely tailor-made swimsuit. He appeared like he’d simply had his hair lower that day.

His demeanor appeared nice however Griz’s alarm bells have been ringing. Three males with navy rifles, only for a easy meet. He and Pony solely had their pistols with them; they’d be at a severe drawback if issues went sideways.

“Good night,” the smiling one mentioned as he approached along with his handheld out. “I’m Main Navarro.”

“Griz,” Griz mentioned by means of introduction. “That is Pony.”

“Griz. Pony. Such great names,” Main Navarro mentioned. “And your good friend, Ripper, as properly.”

“You may have an attention-grabbing title your self,” Griz mentioned. “Main.”

Main Navarro shrugged. “Retired. Now I’m a businessman. Talking of which, Ripper had performed all negotiations up up to now, however I perceive you, Griz, are going to take it from right here.”
