As they attempted to make a plan, well more of Jerome talking and Eddie trying to help, Eddie wouldn't stop sneaking glances at Nina as she listened intently to the plan. "That way we can get across the border." finished Jerome.
Eddie shook his head. "If you do that then-" he began.
"Listen kid. You don't know my team like I do and I know how to use their strengths. You don't. So but out." Jerome stated.
Eddie raised his hands in surrender as he backed away. Jerome looked back at everyone else. "So we're clear on the plan?" He asked. Everyone mumbled in response. "Alright, so we meet back here tomorrow morning."
Everyone began to leave the kitchen as they went their separate ways. Nina picked up the keys to the Dodge and started for the door, but was stopped by Eddie. "Where are you heading?" He inquired.
She raised her eyebrow at him and crosses her arms over her chest. "For a drive."
He smirked. "So you drive?"
Nina looked taken aback from the sheer misogyny of that question. "Yeah, why is that such a shock?"
"No reason just... interesting." Said Eddie as he walked out the door.
Nina's eyes followed him as she walked towards the Dodge. She climbed in and drove off towards the main city Once there, she put the car in park and sat for a minute, collecting her thoughts, before stepping out. As she closed the door, someone tapped her shoulder.
On full alert Nina glanced over shoulder, but relaxed when she saw Eddie. She turned around so that she was facing him and sighed, "What are you doing here?"
Eddie gave her a light smile. "Me? Nothing. Just going for a drive, and then I saw you. I just needed to ask you about tomorrow so what type-"
In a quick second, a bullet shot through the poster next to the pair. Nina's head whipped towards the direction of the shot. "Angelo," she thought. She turned towards Eddie and held his hand. "Get in the car now." She barked.
Eddie gave her a look and Nina replied with a pointed glare and pushed him towards the car. "Just get in the car and shut up."
He finally complied and climbed in. Nina quickly jumped into the car and quickly drove off. While traveling double the speed limit, two black Mazda's followed the in the distance.
Nina looked up into her rear view mirror and cursed under her breath. She took a deep breath and asked, "Where did you park your car?"
Eddie looked over and said nothing.
"Hey!" She snapped her fingers in his direction. "Answer my question."
He jumped slightly and replied, "I parked it over by South Beach, near the main building." Nina just nodded and sped up. "You mind telling me what's going on? I'm apart of what ever this is now too."
"Like I said before, this time we're cutting it close," She simply stated as if she got shot every day and, as far as Eddie know that could very well be the case.
Eddie opened his mouth to say something, but was soon cut off by the sounds of gunshots coming from behind. He turned around to see the two black Mazda's, along with two people with guns peeking out the windows of them. "I see your car," Nina began. "What you're going to do is stay in the Dodge and I'll take your car and drive it away, and place a rock on the gas so that it will keep going. When I come back you do exactly as I say." It wasn't a suggestion it was an order.
Eddie nodded his head, glad to comply. Nina stopped the car and made a sly switch to Eddie's dark green BMW. She sped off into the distance as one Mazda followed her. The other stayed within a 100 foot distance of the Dodge and began to fire shots.
Eddie whipped around as he searched for the source of the shots. Then, he noticed the other Mazda near him. He ducked down in the car and searched for some sort of weapon he could use. As he felt around in the pitch black of the night, he stumbled across an unfamiliar object. When he brought it up towards his face, he recognized it to be a small pistol. "I'll take what I can get," He thought.
He began to fire shots and hit the driver in the shoulder and the shooter in the thigh. They both collapsed but Eddie knew it wasn't over, he stayed armed and walked slowly towards the men. He walked carefully around them and didn't notice when one sat up and armed their gun.
Bang. Bang.
Two shots were fired. Someone lay dead on the ground in a pool of blood. Nina set down her gun and looked over at the dead man. "That's what you get for working for Angelo," She spat.
Eddie stood in shock. "Hey!" She yelled. "Let's go back to the house. We have to tell the others about this."
"We have to move tonight. If we don't there is a pretty good chance one of us will be dead tomorrow morning. So lets move out."
Everyone looked at Nina and nodded. "Okay," Jerome started. "Fabian, go ahead and drive out to HQ and get your stuff set up, and KT go with him. Amber, Nina and I will tie up some loose ends and get the drugs."
Eddie decided to jump in at this moment. "What about me?" He asked.
"You," Jerome began. "Stay out of my way," He hissed.
Jerome walked away from Eddie as the boy shouted, "I'll just go with Fabian and KT."
Fabian, KT, and Eddie pulled up to HQ. Eddie looked around. The building was worn down, and looked like trash. "Wow. What a great place to work," He snarked sarcastically.
"Cool the sarcasm. Just get inside," KT said as she gave him a glare.
The trio stepped inside and Eddie was amazed. Inside was a clean looking, high-tech center. Fabian flipped on the lights. "Let's set up," He stated.
KT nodded her head and walked over towards a wall of artillery, while Fabian walked over to a wall of technology. Fabian spoke. "The systems are up bring a car up from the garage."
"I'm still setting up. Pretty boy." Eddie's head whipped towards KT. "Go get a car from the garage."
Eddie looked around and saw a door leading downstairs. He followed the steps down and was met with five cars.
"Woah," He breathed.
He scrambled into a car and brought it up the ramp leading upstairs. He stepped out and saw Fabian working lightening fast by the computers. He walked next to him and asked. "What's all this stuff?"
"Something way to complicated for you to handle." Eddie just stated at him causing Fabian to sigh, "It's a system where I can track anything and anyone and hack the government servers."
Eddie nodded his head. "Cool. So do you think I could check my email?"
