That was hella confusing.
Merry was already tracking any attempt to access the cryptocurrency.
Gene had been using the names of the dead soldiers who had been on that base to find anyone connected toThe BlackStone Group.
They began working on that already. Now, they were to stop?
Even Jagger, who never questioned the Major a day in his life, was standing there, and he was confused by all of this too.
“What do you want us to do then?” he asked, staring into his wife’s eyes.
She was upset.
He knew Maura the best.
His woman was doing battle with this, and he didn’t like that she was worried.
She was, after all, pregnant.
Elizabeth was to the point.
“Your new directive is this. You’re to find Von Donore, and end him. Put on the Marine fatigues,” she said. “He’s got paramilitary, and so do we. We’re going to play the same game he is. He wants to send out mercenaries to infiltrate this city, well, he’s in for a surprise. This place already has them.”
They waited.
“Take out the head ofThe BlackStone Group. You’ve been authorized by the President of the United States to get the job done.”
Well, shit.
That said it all.
You knew it was bad when the President of the United States was authorizing a hit on a non-citizen. That meant that Von Donore’s own country was offering him up to the US as a target.
The UK and US were bed buddies when it came to shit like this.
Elizabeth was to the point.
“There’s a bounty on his head. Figure out a way to get to him. While you do that, the people here will be working on connecting the dots to see what this missing money andBlackStonehave in common. They’ll start tying up the loose ends.”
Well, it looked like they were playing‘kiss me fuck me’with the bad guys.
AGAIN.
As they were talking, the massive steel door opened, and in came Zayn. He was with his wife and children.
Apparently, they wanted to get back to a safe place.
“I couldn’t get the nanny back in time,” he said. “Tag, you bitches are on baby duty while I work,” he said. Then, he pointed at Elizabeth.
“I am checking your bag and pockets before you leave. You can’t be trusted,” he said. “Go ahead. Coo over the baby. Then, put her down and back up. You have three minutes. Anything past that is kidnapping.”
She snorted.
Oh, he was funny.
Because he was going to let her, there was no way Elizabeth was missing out on that.
Elizabeth practically vaulted over the couch to get to the baby. She nearly took out Gene in the process.
