CHAPTER 4
"OK, Ike here's an idea. What do you know of these mercs? What can you tell us to help you fight them off? See these mercs will go after Barry, he witnessed them, and he's a liability. So we must deter them." Mike says analyzing as he speaks.
"Listen I'm not worried about that. They could care less ok. My pursuers are well connected, well armed and their mission is eliminating me." I said trying to see if they did their homework.
"OK, so are they ex-military, ex-intelligence? What we need more to go on." Mike says very convincing.
"Look, you all did your homework right? You know that was pure bull. So cut the charade ok, you know as much about them as I do." I stood to stretch out and now the pain in my head was gone, I was ready to move about. "Can we get a bite to eat? I'm famished we can talk then too."
As we sat down, Mike and Sam discussed with me the team of thugs chasing me. They were well connected with underground syndicates. Through a Miami congressman, the government had funded them to eliminate my father's congregation, I as far as I know one of the last survivors. This was the fourth attack. The second attack they took heavy losses I had thought they'd stop, but the government pumped more money. The third attack supposedly they got my father. I don't know, I kidnapped the leader and gained quite a bit of information from him. I left him in a shack in the swamps on the outskirts of town, he's probably still there. He was locked down pretty good, but I did leave food and water to keep him alive a few days. It's not been quite a week yet, but unless he dehydrated he's still alive. Mike theorized to check on his body first, then Mike would infiltrate the group, Sam would play crooked politician, they'd splinter the group then we'd have enough evidence to expose the government involvement I'd be left alone as long as I don't cause too much trouble. Fi was to escort me to the shack while Mike and Sam fought did their thing with the mercs. I was observing the surroundings. I had my belly full and the headache gone my shoulder still sore and all but not enough to handicap me. I caught Mike and Fi chatting, Mike was not so sure about the plan. He was not thrilled about me and Fi in the swamps together. But he volunteered and devised the plan.
