We start walking back to the cars knowing that we have dinner reservation. In two days we will have to make a drop in France, but tonight is our night, so we are going to enjoy it. As we back to the car Nicky tugs on my shoulder, I turn and look at her. She pulls me aside.
"What's up Nichols?" I asked concerned.
"Look under the bush." She whispers.
I do, there is a package of some sort. "What the fuck is that under my car?"
"Looks like a bomb." She says it and my heart races. Piper is to close to it and my feet think before my brain. I grab her hand and pull her away from the door handle and cover her. As soon as she attempted to open the door the car explodes. I get up covered in dust and wipe myself off. I help Piper up and look at Nicky. She looks at us.
Lorna pops out of the Jeep, "Are you guys okay?"
I look at Piper and nod. "Scorpion is getting better. They must have an inside man this time."
Nicky nods and looks at me. "Looks like you're driving with us and we need to get you guys cleaned up for dinner. We will deal with him tomorrow, tonight is your night. "
I agree to go to dinner though I am pissed. Scorpion's men had fucked up the one thing that was suppose to be perfect and he was going to play. Nicky and me both knew it. But first we all needed a change in clothes and a shower. Besides dinner reservation wasn't for another hour. I had time to treat Piper to a shower she would soon not forget.
