Chapter 28 - Shipping our moves

Unknown

I sat at my dining room table and tapped on the table impatiently.
I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips, before breaking the ice; " So.. where is it then?" I ask my 'assistant'.
They took out a piece of paper from inside of their jacket and handed it over to me.
I scanned the paper and raised my eyebrow at them. I was returned with a smirk as my assistant said, " I know, it's a big shipment right? The first batch will come in a matter of days, the rest will come in a matter of weeks on a much bigger boat. Not a bad way to mask a drug deal is it? I think they did it quite cleverly, but not cleverly enough".
I nodded and replied with a wide smile on my face, " It's settled then.. We trick them into thinking the shipment is going to go through".
The assistant furrowed their eyebrows and noted, "But the shipment is already going through".
I wagged my finger at her and chuckled, " That's your new assignment.. your going to hack into the computer and cancel it. But.." I dragged out, before stating, " It's also in my best interest to make it appear the shipment is going through. You need to change the location where it is being delivered and you need to pretend to be the dealer, do you understand? Hack into the system, change coordinates with the other dealers, give them to me I’ll sort the rest out, but you need to change the location for the others to trap them. Do you understand?”I purred the last bit as though it was more of a command than a request. I was replied with a nod.
Suddenly, my right hand man stepped in by saying, " And what do you want me to do?".
I shrugged and replied coolly, " Cause a little hell, heck I don't care , so long as you keep tabs on everyone, when the night comes. I'm guessing you heard the news about the other night.." I lingered for a couple of seconds. He nodded.
I smiled, " Well, it's just perfect don't you think? It could work to our advantage and then that's another one of our toys in our trap", I giggled slightly at the thought and was returned with laughter.
" I need to attend to Lilith" I announced as I walked out of the room and headed up the stairs. I searched the room for one of my children's books I had bought for Lilith,  and rummaged through them all. Suddenly, I felt a presence enter the room.
I turned to find my man at the door.
I gave him a weak smile and turned to Lilith.
I felt his arms wrap around me, and his breath on my neck.
He mumbled into the corner of my neck as he spoke, " She's so beautiful. She looks just like her mummy".
I laughed slightly," Yeah she does".

He swayed me in his arms and asked softly, "Do you want me to read her a story?".
I shook my head and replied in barely a whisper, "No. No it's my job".

I fumbled through a random book when I was suddenly turned by him. I looked him square in the eyes and he leaned in to kiss me, however his lips never touched mine.
He asked softly, "Do you trust me?".
I caught my breath and replied softly, " I'm half way there.. you did your tasks it's the end game that makes my decision final".
He smiled and leaned in to kiss me, but I quickly placed my finger in his lips and whispered, "Lilith comes first" I purred and turned my back to him.

"Hey baby, It's time for a bed time story" I whispered excitingly.
" This is a book I made for you, about how we make the bad monster go away.. I know you'll love it".
