wasn’t in the mood for Magda’s less than subtle verbiage; the mosquitoes were
eating him alive. “I’m outside. So our guy rents a vehicle at 3:00AM. What’s your take on this, Mags?”
“He’s doing something at this time to
minimize his chances of getting caught.”
“Yes rookie, he is,” Nick said. “John Howard or what ever his real name is
came back for two reasons. He ran out of
cash. He took some with him but not
enough. He blew through what he took,
that’s why he used the credit card. Now
he’s back for the rest of his stash. He
didn’t put it in a bank – to many reed flags.
More than likely he put it in a storage locker, someplace innocent and
out of the way.”
“So we need to saddle our horses and
find this guy.”
“We will. But we’re not gonna spin our wheels looking
for his stash locker. There’s just way
too many of these things. By the time we
find it Howard will be long gone or Sonia finds him first and kills him. We lose both of them.”
“Alright, so what’s the plan, boss
man? What are we gonna do?”
“Not we. Just me.
The second reason he came back is in Kemah. I’m gonna go check out the roller coaster in
Kemah.”
