“I don’t need any gadgets to get me off when you’re in bed with me, Mac,” she said quietly with a suggestive smile at him. “What she just experienced was nothing compared to what you do to me.”
All of Mac tingled, and it wasn’t just from the porn show they’d just watched, though watching something like that definitely aroused him, aroused most men. But it was mostly due toYvette’s words, which sounded genuine, and from his memories of each and every time they’d fucked, had sex, or made love, he knew she was being honest. Yeah, they’d done all three at different times over the years, and their coupling had always been spectacular.
They watched the women dress and then they left. Ruiz turned the lights off and went to bed.
The women exited the elevator. Roth transmitted their location, and that they were heading towards the center area where Lambchop and Laura Lee were still having drinks with the New York couple. As they approached, Lambchop made his apologies that he had to use the restroom. He followed them as they made their way towards the outer reaches of the resort grounds, exiting into the parking lot. He watched them get into a waiting car and it drove away, but not before he got the plates.

Once Moreno and Christy entered their building, number six, not one of the buildings with club level access, Cooper and Madison disengaged from their surveillance. They went to their room and on comms. With Mother still in their room, they made a full report of what they’d heard and seen.
“I’ll get the info to the Digital Team to search for who Christy, and her father are,” Yvette said.
“From the context, I’d assume an American who’s been in or possibly in and out of Colombia for some time,” Mac added. “Diplomat or security force, possibly CIA or DEA.”
“This changes everything about Moreno. It sounds more like he’s setting Ruiz up for something or trying to play him,” Garcia said. Then he relayed to the team what they had just witnessed in Ruiz’s room, with no graphic details. “The three of them had some very kinky sex.” That was all he said.
“The one notable item was that the women, before Ruiz entered, hid a camera in one of their purses to catch the action in the room. As far as we could tell, Ruiz didn’t know it was there,” Yvette added.
“Could they have been sent by Moreno?” Lambchop wondered out loud.
“Anything’s possible,” Mac agreed.
“The Digital Team is pulling together a file on him,” Garcia said. “I think once we know more about him and exactly who Christy is, we’ll have a better understanding of what could be going on.”
“Agreed,” Cooper broadcast. “Let’s pack it in for the night. Mother is going to stay here and sleep on our couch. He’ll man the camera and super mic all day tomorrow if you don’t need him, Mac.”
“No, that’s a good plan,” Mac agreed.
“I’ll be up all night watching the cameras inside Ruiz’s room for any movement,” Garcia said.
“We’re going to stay out a while longer, watching Ruiz’s muscle. He’s still sitting at the Preferred Club bar,” Roth broadcast. “I want to know the location of his room.”
“Roger that,” Yvette acknowledged.

“Our boy’s an early riser,” Garcia broadcast at just before zero seven hundred. “I’m not sure if he’s getting ready to go to the gym, for a run, or just to breakfast but he’s getting ready to leave his room by the looks of it.”
His transmission woke Cooper and Madison. Mother had been awake for an hour. He sat out on the balcony drinking a bottle of water and watching the resort slowly wake up while he texted with Annaka, his fiancé. The resort was beautiful, and he would love to bring her here for a long weekend getaway sometime.
“I’ll head down and get ready for a workout or a run,” Lambchop replied. He and Laura Lee had been awake for some time as well. They were already dressed, and they too sat out on their balcony.
“And MP and I will head towards the coffee shop and breakfast,” Roth said. They’d been up for several hours. Roth had alreadymade a trip to the coffee shop and taken a brisk walk around the resort, which had been quite vacant with most guests not up and around yet. They also sat on their balcony, enjoying the early morning quiet and the incredible view from their third-floor room.
“Roger that, Crash,” Garcia replied.
Woods and Roth grabbed their room keys and exited their room right away.
“Give us ten minutes and we’ll be out of our room. Just let us know where he is and we can move to surveil him wherever he ends up,” Cooper added.
“Roger Coop,” Garcia acknowledged.
Breakfast at the buffet turned out to be Ruiz’s destination, even though he was dressed for a workout in the gym or a run with athletic shorts and running shoes as well as a T-shirt. Bringing their specialty coffees in with them, Roth and Woods were seated near Ruiz.
“Coop, you and Xena can stand down for now,” Garcia broadcast after Roth transmitted Ruiz’s entry into the breakfast buffet. “He saw you last night. It’s unlikely he will recognize Crash and MP this morning. In about fifteen minutes, the two of you should go get coffee at the coffee shop and camp out with a view of the buffet exit to report where he heads next and follow if necessary.”
“Roger that, Razor,” Cooper said. He switched his comms to receive only as Mother came back into the room.
