Rescuing Atticus

Back in New York...just another job

Song: Savages- Royal Deluxe

I know she told me to stay away but it is so hard. Lucky for me we have job to go to and will keep me out of town for the rest of the week. Before leaving out I make my way over to the café but I don't go in. I just want to see how she is doing. She is dancing behind the counter and she seems to be doing rather well. I leave before she has the chance to look out the window to see me.We board the plane and head out to New York.

The last time I was there it ended up being a disaster. I lost my first love over something that was so stupid. I should have done things differently and then my Sara would still be alive. Sara was my first at everything and maybe that is why I was having such a hard time being with Stella. I loved Stella but I could not let her end up like Sara.

The plane lands and we all get out and get in the car that is waiting for us. It takes us to the hotel and I'm glad that I am in a different room than before even though it looks almost the same as the other room. I think about the last time we were together. Shit I need to get her off of my mind. I change clothes and head downstairs to the lounge. I order a shot and sit there waiting on the guys to get ready to go out.

We are on standby at the moment. Once we have the orders we will go out do the cleanup. In the meantime we go out for lunch. Zane requested that we try out this Cuban restaurant that supposedly has the Cuban flare to it. The Latin jazz music floats in the air and it has a nice tone to it. We sit out in the very back patio where they have trees and it's all open to the sky above us. It's a nice sunny day and it's like we escaped the busy life of New York to a remote paradise.

The staff is mostly all Cuban and I love listening to the cute waitress that takes our order. She is petite and has the right curves in all the right places. She has her hair pulled back in a slick ponytail and I have thoughts of wrapping my hand around it and then pulling her head back to kiss me. I was in mid thought when Zane grunts. "She is waiting on you?"

"Oh...sorry...uhm...just give me the Ropa Vieja." I tell her while rolling my 'r' sound and she glances up at me and politely smiles back at me.

 As she walks off not only do I watch her walk off but the guys do as well. We all start to smirk at the thought. When she comes back the food looks amazing and not only that but it taste like a bite of heaven. Zane is right again...he always is.

I wasn't shocked at all to see Draven walk out onto the patio to meet with us. He shakes Zane's hand before sitting down. "Hope you guys are enjoying the meal."

"It was very appetizing that's for sure." He stops and smiles at the waitress as she hands him another beer. We all stop and stare as she walks away. "And the view...I wouldn't mind having a little more."

"I can take care of that later for you guys." He smirks. "First let's talk about the job. There is the speaker that is to make some kind of speech at the International Conference building. Apparently he is stirring up a lot of trouble and needs to be taken care of. The mission is to take him out before he even makes in up on the platform. He is staying at the Hilton not to far from the Conference building. I am planning on being there close to four. I will notify you once the job is done."

"Great...sounds like you have everything all planned out."

"I'm just glad that I have you to take care of all the cleanup. Hopefully it will be an easy clean and then we will meet up later tonight." He stands up and shakes his hand again before leaving.

A little after four we get the call; we head out to the location and look around to make sure everything is calm. We go up to the tenth floor and the door is unlocked as he said it would be. However when we walk in...it is not only the guy but three other guys as well. I guess he thought he would have been alone. We go start setting out the plastic wrap and dragging the bodies to lay on top. The one guy is shot right between the eyes, the bullet went in and stayed in there are no signs of where it would have exited. Two of the guys are shot twice to the chest and the last guy is found near the kitchen area face down, he as well as a gun wound to the side of the neck. The blood there was splattered all over the floor and he laid in a pool of blood.
