CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
COLE
––––––––
It’s starting to getdark and, legally, all we can do is sit outside the ports waiting for Chen to come out so we can stay on his tail and hope he leads us to Scarlett.
And the rest of his operation.
When the BHS team left, we sat further away in the hope he thinks we have pulled back.
Josh and Aidan have agreed it’s too dangerous to send Nathan in, and so they are getting the authorities involved.But paperwork takes time, and we are not letting him out of our sight.The good news is that the shipment is not leaving for another week.
“He knows we’re on to him now, so he has to be pivoting his plans,” I say out loud.
And fucking waiting.
Scarlett and my child are in North Korean hands.
Jesus, I have no idea how I’m just sitting here.
“He’ll fuck up.Scarlett is not here, so all we can do is wait for him to move,” Marshall says from the backseat of the SUV.
Liam is also with us.
“I know.”I let out a sigh and thread my fingers through the front of my hair.
Or he might simply go home, and she could be dead or starving to death.
I feel like a ticking time bomb.
Thomas and their team are still tracking the van’s path and may find a destination.Slowly.
Too fucking slow.
My leg bobs up and down, my weapon on my lap.
“How big do you think his team is?”Ryder asks.
There’s no way I can answer that.I’ve had seven days inside the organization, and only today could I confirm he’s the mole.
