He was researching the place, and wanted to get them everything he could.
Just.
In.
Case.
“This is exactly his new property venture,” Blackhawk admitted. “This was supposed to be renovated, and turned into vacation condos,” Ethan added. “There’s a news article. But unfortunately, it floods, so that’s why he needs approval from the local council.”
Oh, someone was in some trouble.
He’d bet on it.
“And the mob man owns it with his now dead business partner?”
Ethan nodded.
“Yeah, it’s not even hidden in a shell corporation. Could this be what kicked it all off?” Ethan asked. “We were told gun running, but what if Rodrigo is covering his ass, and this is more about not having to share profits with Jared Medin? We don’t have proof he was running weapons or that this was someone he’d double-crossed.”
Ethan was one hundred percent right.
They only had what he and Esmeralda had said, and criminals were good at lying.
“Let’s scope it out, and see if we can find something.”
That worked for Blackhawk.
Together, they moved down the road, leaving their car behind in case they had to duck into the trees.
It didn’t take long to get there, and thank God it was daylight.
Gene saw a bunch of spiders, a few snakes, and what sounded like a monkey screaming.
Were there monkeys in Puerto Rico?
He wasn’t sure, but when you heard screaming from the woods, you didn’t go into them.
That was for damn sure.
He was Mid-West white, but not that white.
Together, they walked around the building, and once there, they saw the dock.
And it’s theONLYthing in good condition.
“This person could have absolutely pulled up in a boat, and dumped the bodies onto the sand,” Gene stated.
Ethan got down, and he found what he was looking for, and that helped them out.
There was something sticky on the sand. Like old sugar had congealed and had been dragged here.
“We have the sugar. It’s small traces of it, but it’s everywhere,” Ethan admitted, poking some with a stick so Gene could smear it inside an evidence bag he kept in his pocket.
“Well, that can be traced,” Gene admitted. “We’ll see if Ben, and his team, can match this to what was on the victims.”
This was turning out to be a good find.
“Let’s head in.”
