One of my contacts was able to find us blueprints of Mendez’s compound and another contact had a schedule of guard rotations. I didn’t ask either of them how they got that information.

Just when I think this would be easier as a one man show, my brother points to something on the blueprint.

“What’s this?” Baratta asks.

Taking a closer look I see what looks like a tunnel. After flipping through all the documents in front of me I realize it’s an underground escape route that leads to the beach in an area blocked off to the public and it doesn’t seem to be guarded except through electronic surveillance.

If I had more time I could hack into it, but I don’t want to give anyone a chance to discover we are there.

I start to dismiss it, when Timber suggests he can have it hacked and under our control before the plane even lands.

“Brother,” I call out expecting Baratta to answer.

But when the club members answer instead he just grins at me. How the hell did I suddenly obtain all these brothers? Looking each man in the eye, I just shake my head.

“I meant Baratta.” I laugh. “I don’t dare call in anyone else, I don’t know who I can trust. You got any local connections to arm us?”

“Yeah. Think I know someone.”

By the time we land, we have transportation, weapons and a plan.

Getting a call from Baratta for a favor that I still owe him was a huge surprise. After sending him the coordinates of where to meet me, I borrowed a boat from a certain gentleman that won’t be needing it any time soon.

I spot him and his men as soon as they get to the dock. Scanning their faces, the only one I recognize is his brother, Giovanni who spots me immediately and says something to his brother.

Jumping down to the dock from the boat, I walk towards them, meeting them in the middle.

“Jay.” Giovanni says and I nod back.

“Did you get what I requested?” Baratta asks straight to the point.

“Everything is already on board.” I nod towards the boat.

Looking over at it, his smile surprises me as I’ve only ever known him and his brother to be blank of all emotion. Never showing a single weakness regardless of the situation.
