Chapter 51

* * * *

The next day, Derek heard back from Johnson. Mr. Torres had agreed to the conditions imposed by Derek’s superior. The first shipment would be ready to be picked up the following Tuesday. As soon as he got the news, Derek left the hotel, heading to a park he’d discovered five blocks away. It was empty except for the area around the playground and a few older people taking their morning walks, with or without dogs in tow.

Finding a vacant bench, Derek sat and took out his phone to make a secured call.

“We’re in,” he said, when Larson answered.

“When?”

“Next Tuesday. They expect you to be with me, with a truck and a driver.”

“Perfect.”

“One added bonus. Mr. Torres will be there. Apparently he wants to meet you to discuss our increasing the order. I told him you were very secretive and would not meet him anywhere but at the manufacturing site.”

“And he bought that?” Larson asked, sounding surprised.

Derek chuckled. “I can be very persuasive when necessary.”
