Behind the Mask Ch. 14

... face-to-face," Alain replied.

"Yeah, I'm just dying to meet a guy called Death," I muttered, and August snorted. "Alright, I want everything we can get on Muerte. Same goes for the other three Horsemen."

"Lexi..." August cut in before apparently reconsidering. When I waited for him to speak, he decided to continue. "Are you actually gonna meet this guy?"

"It's what the background check is for," I pointed out before turning back to Alain. "Our best bet for information is from rival gangs, probably other cartels. And Alain, I want this quiet. I don't want this guy knowing we've been sniffing around. If he's not even on FBI's radar, I'd rather not spook him." I thought for a moment. "How'd he send the invitation?"

"One of our men was approached by a member of the 'Inetes, asking for La Cazadora."

They knew where to find us because of our dealings with Hambruna. That put us at a tactical disadvantage. "Tell our guys if they can't get the intel quietly, disengage. What are the possible consequences of not agreeing to a meeting, Alain?"

"Unknown,mademoiselle."

"Shit." I groaned and buried my face in my hands. Once again, potentially walking into a situation -- likely a highly dangerous one, at that -- without any intel. This just wasn't my month. I only knew of one person who could possibly shed some light on the Jinetes without tipping the gang off. Not like I had any plans today anyway. "Alright, get on it." Alain nodded and left, and I turned to August. "I need a favor."

"You want me to go through FBI records of Jinetes activity," he guessed. I shrugged. Pretty good guess. He sighed and deliberated for a moment. "Fine. I'll see what I can do... fiancée."

"Smartass," I muttered, smirking wryly.

He smiled and stood, moving to leave. Suddenly stopping, he turned back to look at me. There was too much emotion in his eyes for somebody I'd only fucked once. "Lexi... be careful."

"You know me," I said with a grin, and he managed a small smile before leaving. I took a deep breath with my eyes closed, then watched Artemis for a while, letting my mind clear. Then I picked up my phone and dialed. "Hey Drew, it's me. You free today? 'Cause I'm about to ruin your whole week."

--

"You're right, week ruined," Drew noted as soon as he was in my car.

I shrugged. "I figured I should ask, since it's your business too."

"Yeah, yeah." He gazed intently out the window as I drove, arms folded. "You seriously get up to some weird shit, you know that?"

"Nobody knows it better than me," I said proudly, and he actually chuckled. He turned to look at me curiously, at one point scratching his chin. "If you wanna ask, ask."

"Eh, it's nothing. Just wondering how the club's doing." Ooh, he was going there.

"How'd you know I golfed?"

"C'mon, Lex, skip this," he growled. "Yeah, you're probably the smartest of us, but that doesn't make us idiots."

"Who knows? Maybe I'm the idiot, 'cause you're gonna have to spell it out for ...
