Chapter 44: The Plant

It was an eventful night for Germaine Fuentes. Probably one of the most eventful he’d had since he built his empire. Tiny called him to let him know a S.W.A.T. team was surrounding the now abandoned motel. He was watching from the woods as they barged into every single room to look for any trace that the gang was operating out of the building. They wouldn’t find anything but some smattering of pig’s blood. The men had cleared out everything including the crappy furniture.

On another side of town, he and Diego were sitting in his car, staking out a park bench. They’d taped the fake product under the bench, as had been planned with the group. Germaine planned the drop for midnight, and it was nearly 11:45.

The car was parked a block away, but still in good sightline of the bench. Germaine and Diego were both reclined, watching the bench but unable to be seen by anyone passing by. The clock ticked closer and closer to midnight, but all was calm.
