It was definitely about to be a long night.
Chapter

Creed
Getting off the plane, Kieran and I got into the car that was left for us on the tarmac and began the two-hour drive to the location we would be meeting Torin and Merric at. It was a shit rundown bar on the outskirts of Miami where no one would think to ever look for us.
Pulling up to the bar, I scanned the area around us to make sure we had no eyes on us as we got out of the car and made our way inside. Finding the two of them at our usual table, Kieran and I strode over, taking our own seats. “You know, I don’t think this was a good idea, you coming down here with all the heat on our operation right now.” Torin was always the most paranoid about me meeting them down here in public, and it was good to see he still showed that concern. It helped to put my mind at ease a bit.
“It was a necessity. Did you find any bugs?”
Merric had a look on his face that told me the answer. “Two at my place.”
Leaning back in my chair, I scrubbed my hand down my face. “How long?”
“I’d say it was probably this chick, I picked up in a bar about three weeks back. She was the only one I let out of my sight, when I had to run out to my car for my phone, realizing I didn’t have it with me.”
“Do you know where to find her since I’m sure whatever name she gave you was bullshit?”
“I could go back to the same bar and see if she shows up. As far as she knows, I haven’t found anything.”
And that gave me and idea. “Put the bugs back where you found them.”
Merric looked at me as if I was saying I wanted to kill myself. “Why the fuck would I do that?” It only took a few seconds for the reason to sink in. “Are you sure you want to do that?”
“The way I look at it our rat in Santiago’s outfit is probably either dead, or under heavy surveillance to see if there’s a chance he meets up with one of us. Then they get more for the bullet.”
“So, what’s the plan,” Torin asked.
A couple hours later, everything had been hashed out in our plan, and I was feeling a huge weight lifted off my shoulders that it wasn’t one of my three who had betrayed me. For the next few hours we sat, drank a few and talked bullshit, catching up on everything that was going on before going our separate ways.
Getting back onto the plane, I looked to see what time it was, noticing it was only nine o’clock in the evening, putting us back in New York no later than 11:30 or midnight tonight. I didn’t think I could wait until tomorrow to see Clarice, so I sent her a quick text, checking to see how the girls night was going.
Me: Hey my little vixen. Looks like I’ll be back in New York by midnight. Just wanted to check on how that girls night of yours was going?
