Chapter 573 Planning
"
Carl sat in his leather desk chair at the desk in his home office and tried to relax as he looked at Eric. It wasn't that he was a control freak; it was just that he didn't like depending on the competency of others especially when he knew they were not exactly top of the line brains. Eric could perform simple duties, but Carl had doubts about his ability to think much beyond that, but he was stuck with him. He should have found a smarter henchman, but those types always wanted to be the boss. Eric had no such ambitions.
"You've got the men lined up?" Carl asked. "Run through the plan again."
Eric sighed.
"Yeah, I've got the guys. Real dependable. We use the tracker that was put on Knowles' car and follow her from a distance using two cars. The first call will hit and kill her and then it will be ditched a few miles away. That's where the second car comes in and it picks up the guys in the first car."
"What do you do if she uses a different car?"
"We follow and wait for a chance to put a tracker on the car. If we can't do that, we follow her and look for a chance to place a tracker."
"OK. Look, Eric, don't fuck this up."
"Should be easy," he said, but Carl thought he heard a note of uncertainty in his voice.
"Text me from the burner when it's done. Hitting someone with a car is tricky. Make sure you kill her or at least destroy her hands so she can never hold a scalpel again."
"We'll kill her no problem. You're going to give the two other guys an extra ten grand and me fifteen when she's dead."
"Yes, you know that," Carl said impatiently. "Just get it done."
"You can count on me," Eric said.
Carl saw him to the door so he could lock it behind him. It was a simple plan. What could go wrong?
