I grabbed the map and laid it on the table. We went over all the red dots and devised a plan. I was sure Hector's compound wasn't on this half-torn piece of paper.
There was going to be a lot of bloodshed as we forced him out of hiding. Most of these places were closer to my home than I thought. What rich criminal didn't like a warm climate all year round, plus cartels can't run a shady operation in populated areas.
I looked over at Jacob.
"Grab some sandwiches for the road. We won't have time for takeout."
He nodded and headed for the fridge.
My phone dinged-
Yara-
Tony dropped me off about an hour ago. He left as soon as I got into the house. I am in one of the guest rooms on the top floor. You need to update me on the job, so I know what the hell I am doing. Be down in a couple of minutes.
What the fuck? I had no clue she was even here. I'm surprised Maria said nothing.
I shook my head, amused.
She tried to tell me when I arrived, but I brushed her off.
I really didn't give a shit either way.
Now that Yara has arrived, we can move quickly.
Jacob threw a few sandwiches and a six-pack of energy drinks into the small travel cooler for our trip.
I glanced at him.
"Yara's upstairs. She'll be down in a couple of minutes."
Jacob grinned as he yawned.
"Oh, Yara, the tall, blonde warrior? Will she accompany us on this adventure? She's pretty hot."
He's aware of who Yara is and that I had texted her for help with the mission. Jacob always had a way of making light of the dark. Anytime I was down or losing my mind, he used his fucked-up sense of humor to cheer me up.
He was keeping me from sinking into the dark abyss. I appreciated the effort, but the anger was still seething just beneath the surface. Going nuts wouldn't help right now, so I welcomed his dry wit to keep me grounded.
Yara finally walked into the kitchen. She was dressed in jeans, a muscle shirt, and she actually wore a bra. That's a first for her! I remembered Kitten would get upset when she was around. It didn't matter how hurt my pet'sfeelings were; Yara was excellent at her job, and she was going to help me rescue her and Becca.
She shrugged, looking amused.
"I went straight to Tony and told him to drop me off here after I got your text. You didn't tell him about the trip, so I had to show him the message because he didn't believe me. Imagine the nerve of the bastard? Like I would randomly just fly to your house without your knowledge."
She looked at us both, grinning.
"So, who are we killing today?"
I raised an eyebrow while rubbing my chin.
"For starters, we will be taking out a man named Hector and two of his sidekicks, Juan and Julio."
"Traffickers?" she asked.
I nodded.
"Yeah. They kidnapped Kit and her friend Becca at Kit's house early yesterday afternoon."
