I’ve been sitting in the hotel bar for two hours, drumming my fingers on
a cocktail napkin and drinking an endless succession of ginger ales to make
it look like I’m drinking booze. Gotta keep my head. This could get bad in a
hurry.
Nervous shivers shoot down my arms and legs and my head is on a
swivel. Clandestine meetings between luminaries of the criminal underbelly
of society aren’t supposed to happen at the Sheraton, but, as the man said,
well, there you are.
By my watch it’s 9:36 in the morning, and my contact is over an hour
late. Mornings make me edgy. I don’t know the contact’s face either. That
makes me nervous. I’ve been edgy ever since I called in and confirmed
completion on this one. I did everything I could. Now we wait.
Everything in the room sets me off. I’ve checked the windows and exits
fifty times already, studied every patron in the bar until they stare back and
I force myself to look away.
I’m supposed to be low key here, keeping a
low profile. Fat guy at the bar is on his third Mai Tai and he’s got a gun;
most people wouldn’t notice. He’s a big guy with a little piece in a shoulder
holster and he’s left handed, so it’s under his right armpit where most
people don’t look.
He’s probably not here to kill me but I have to be ready to drop him
anyway.
I jump when my phone rings and bring it to my ear before I remember to
check the number. Goddamn it, I’m jumpy as hell. This is going to be bad.
“Hello?” the other party says, before I can.
Interesting. Female; her voice is silky, seductive, and totally unfamiliar.
“Hello.”
“Now that we have that out of the way,” she purrs, “your employers are
about to send the agreed-upon payment and a bonus.”
I flinch. Bonus. That has me nervous. I never negotiated any bonus, and
I’ve never gotten one in all the years I’ve been doing this. When you charge
as much as I do, you don’t get bonuses, and don’t seek them.
Something is definitely off.
“Good. I’m in the bar as agreed.”
“I’m waiting for you outside room 426. That’s yours, is it not?”
I lick my lips. That’s not cool, lady.
“Yeah. I’ll be up. Give me a minute.”
I don’t wait for a reply. I tuck the phone back in my pocket and head for
the stairs. Elevators are too enclosed, no easy way out once you’re inside
one. Makes a poor opening move to ride one up. It’s only four floors, and I
take the stairs two at a time.
