Just before the bus came rolling up, a taxi stopped and he ran to the taxi. He got into the back seat and gave the cab driver the address to the Bowman home. His vehicle was there. From there, he'd drive to Kentucky and Addy. It was an eight-hour drive, eight and a half with gas stops. He'd be there by five in the morning barring issues.
He sat quietly in the back of the cab, he watched as Washington D.C. sped past his window and he wondered why he wanted to live here. It was filled with criminals and spies. He didn't want to associate with either. Yet a couple of weeks ago, he was proud as hell of himself for living here. For rising to the top. But the top of a pile of shit is...shit.
The cab driver dropped him in front of the Bowman home, he paid with cash, a large tip for the cab driver that would hopefully buy him silence should anyone ask.
He brusquely walked through the backyard, got to the garage, and wondered how he'd get inside. The house was dark, Catalina was gone for the day. He called Addy.
"Hi, Rafe. What's going on?"
"I'm at the Bowman's to get my vehicle, but I don't know how to open the garage door. Any ideas for me?"
She was quiet for a moment, then the door began to open. "I have the garage door programed into my phone now. Did it open?"
"It did. Thank you."
"What happened with Andrews?"
"He's putting things in motion. I have to lay low."
"Okay."
"Let me call you later. I want to get out of here."
"Let me stay on until you back out. I'll close the door."
He hurried around the garage and jumped into his vehicle. He started it up and backed out slowly. "Okay. Close the door."
He watched as the door slid shut.
"Where are you staying tonight?"
"On the road."
"Rafe..."
"Hey, baby, I promise. It's all good. Can I call you later? I want to focus so I can get out of town without being seen."
"Of course. Drive carefully, Rafe."
"I will. I'll talk to you later on."
He ended the call. His gut twisted but he wanted to surprise her.

Addy woke, her back hurt because she'd been so tight all night. Her nerves were on edge. She'd waited for hours for Rafe to call and he didn't. She got out of bed, went to the bathroom and took a long shower.
Leaving her room, dressed, somewhat refreshed, and a bit hungry, she went straight to the kitchen. Helissa was making breakfast. She looked at her watch and saw it was seven forty. She'd slept later than she thought.
"Good morning, Ms. Addy."
"Good morning, Helissa. As usual, everything smells so good."
"Thank you, Ms. Addy."
Helissa set a cup of coffee in front of her and Addy sat at the counter. "Did everyone eat already?"
"Mr. Vickers, Mr. Lawson, and Mr. Sager have eaten."
