Revenge
Chapter Nine.
Pier 62.
Alonzo Quinn stood and looked out over the Hudson river. He was livid. Elias had betrayed him. He knew that Elias was behind the murder of Adair.
He needed to grab the initiative and find a way of joining forces with Elias and his men. He turned and saw Simmons walking towards him.
He hated these face to face meetings. They were too risky.
Simmons lent on the railing next to him. " I have arranged a meeting with Marconi for later this evening. Are you sure that you want to join forces with Elias?"
" We have no other choice. Tell him to tell Elias that I agree to his terms. Are you sure that Goren and Eames have been taken care of?"
Simmons nodded. "Fusco showed me the photos of their corpses."
" What the hell happened with the Deakins hit?"
"We are not sure. It would seem that the man in the suit got in the way. Now Deakins has disappeared. I thought that with Adair dead, that there was no longer a reason for us to still be interested in him?"
Quinn waited until the couple walked past them and were out of ear shot.
"You thought right. I have no doubt that he will soon miraculously reappear. I have another job for you to take care of. The prison guard has become a liability. Only he could have gotten Matic into Adair's cell. Get rid of him. Tell Stoat's to get one of his prison friends to kill him. In return I will make sure that his appeal runs smoothly." Quinn went to walk away then turned abruptly back towards Simmons. " I almost forgot. If Marconi tells you that Elias has turned our offer down then kill him. Then make sure that Elias gets taken care of also."
Simmons watched him walk back to his car then walked away.
Carter stood and watched them until they had both left. They hadn't seen her filming their meeting. After all this time they had now found out who was running HR. Alonzo Quinn chief of staff for the NY mayor's office. Which meant that he also had his own godson killed. Now she had the evidence she needed to bring this organization to its knees.
Safe House.
Shaw had quickly learned that playing Trivial Pursuit against Bobby was a very bad idea. The guy was a walking lexicon of knowledge. Bobby had found out that Bear responded to Dutch commands. So he was teaching him some new tricks that made Harold frown. All Deakins could do was observe and laugh at some of the antics going on.
Alex was finally catching up on some much needed sleep. A lot of things were happening all at once. Harold was waiting for Reese, Carter and Fusco to arrive they needed to organize a plan to entrap Quinn. Carter had already spoken to Carl Elias and it was good to know that he was on their side in this and had placed the corrupt guard under his protection whilst he was in Rikers. On the outside they were tailing him and providing protection, should HR get frustrated and try to kill him themselves. They needed him as a witness.
Several hours later Bobby had managed to fall asleep on the couch. Much to Shaw's annoyance. She had tried to persuade him to go back to his bed to rest properly, he had refused claiming he only needed a nap.
This is how Alex found him when she returned from her rest. Sprawled on the couch with Bear sleeping on his lap. She let him rest for the time being and went into the kitchen and reheated the food that had been left for them.
She found Deakins and Harold sitting at the kitchen table. Deakins informed her that he would be flying out to San Francisco to join his wife there. Until things had settled and HR had been eliminated. Reese had arranged for a old special ops friend of his to protect them, just in case HR were to try anything.
There was a small commotion as Reese and Fusco arrived, and when Bear jumped off of Bobby's lap to greet them, it woke him with a start.
Alex rushed to his side and helped him to sit up. He was still a bit groggy and in pain.
"What's going on?" He was disorientated and grouchy.
Alex smiled reassuringly at him. " Everything is OK, Reese and Fusco just got back. You need to eat something so that you can take your pain meds OK?"
Bobby nodded and Alex returned with two plates with meatloaf and greens.
He wasn't all that hungry but he accepted his plate and fork from her. "Thanks."
Alex watched him start to push his food around on his plate and then startled him when she held a fork full of meatloaf to his lips. " I said eat and not play OK."
Deakins had watched the interaction between them as he approached. He sat down on the other side of Bobby.
"You want some advice Bobby? I would do as she tells you, it is pointless to argue with your other half. I speak on authority. In the 30 years of marriage with Angie I never once won an argument."
He watched as Bobby acquiesced to Alex's wishes and smiled. It brought back so many happy memories of his time as their Captain. Alex had always had Bobby wrapped around her finger, Bobby knew it too but he never made it easy for her.
Alex smiled at their former Captain.
"When are you leaving us Sir?"
Deakins shook his head. " I told you both it is just plain Jimmy now OK. They said that as soon as they have talked about their next move, that Det. Fusco was going to drive me to JFK. I want to stay but I'm worried that they might try to harm Angie. Promise me that you will both help them to put a stop to these mutts OK?"
Alex looked at Bobby and smiled. " You can count on it!"
