“No shit.”
A set of headlights flashes around the corner, cutting off as the truck coasts up the driveway. “What the fuck?”
“That any way to greet your superiors?” Max and Robbie materialize from around bushes as Finn steps out of the truck.
Talon and Major appear at the door, eying the men. “This is you?”
“Somewhere secure?” Robbie cuts to the point.
“Media room is secure, but the house is full of people. Didn’t know we were having a party,” Talon answers dryly.
“Not a party when it takes me out of bed with my pregnant wife,” Robbie. counters. “We have a situation.”
“Obviously.” I motion to the side of the house. “Pool house is empty. Do we need equipment?”
“I have it covered.” Finn holds up a duffle bag. “Let’s roll.”
We head to the pool house without a word.
Finn makes quick work of setting up his laptop. There’s a chorus of hums when we recognize the advanced device he links into for a secure connection.
“What the hell is going on?” My attention is on high alert, knowing this type of setup is used in hyper-confidential military operations.
“In approximately six hours, FBI, SWAT, NMPD, and Hayes Security will be in position to accept a range of shipments. Drugs, weapons, possible human trafficking—the interception could be the largest in Nashville history,” Robbie explains.
“Interstates, air space, railway, and the port are all involved.” Finn takes over, motioning to the map of the city already outlined with location identifiers.
“Fucking hell. How did Hayes get caught up in this?” Talon bends in to examine the screen closer.
“FBI requested Dad to work this.”
“You said accept and intercept. What does that mean?” I process his words.
“We’re letting them go.”
“The fuck?”
“This has been an operation in play for months. We just got read-in recently. The theory is Nashville is being tested as a hub. We’re operating on the assumption there will be a transfer plan to distribute around the city.”
“So, drugs, guns, and possibly humans being forced here are being released into the city?”
“Not exactly. Once the shipments are here, there are teams assigned to trace and track. End game is to seize once we know where they are going and who’s bankrolling.”
“If all goes to plan,” I concur.
“All will go to plan. That’s why you’re here. We want you on our team.”
“We’re NMPD,” Major informs him sharply.
“You’ve been re-assigned for a little while. Unless you’re not interested?”
Asshole is goading me. “Captain Boyd approved this?”
“Reluctantly,” Max chuckles.
“I’m in,” Ace throws out. “This fucking shit is not taking over my city.”
The four of us have an unspoken conversation. “We’re all fucking in.” I stare at the screen, itching to get my hands on the intel.
