Excerpt
The next morning, Decker sat in his black
sedan hidden by its tinted windows. The information he had received from the
tablet led him to the Garden Way Hotel. The hotel was new in the city on the
Lower East Side of Manhattan. Decker held a camera in his hands like a
photojournalist on assignment. He had taken pictures of everyone who had
entered the hotel but only construction workers had entered.
Decker had been in place across from the
hotel since dawn. Earlier that morning he had managed to place security cameras
near the other entrances that fed directly into his computer. His laptop sat
next to him in the passenger seat. Decker had views of the docking and loading
area as well as the other entrances of the hotel. It was past eleven o’clock
when Decker finally saw activity that interested him. A silver sedan pulled up
in from of the hotel. The driver hurried out and opened the rear passenger
door. The man who emerged from the backseat was tall, thin and had blonde hair
that had been neatly combed back. He wore an expensive suit and a gray long
coat. He looked to be in his late thirties and wore dark shades. Decker
immediately recognized him and lowered the camera away from his face. His mouth
gaped slightly.
“Linus.” he said aloud to himself as if
to confirm what his eyes had just witnessed. He quickly raised the camera and
rapidly took pictures. The driver led Linus inside. Decker made sure to get a
picture of the car and
the plates as well. Decker was certain
that whatever was going to happen would take place in this hotel and soon. He
quickly turned his attention to his laptop and saw guards taking position at
the entrances and securing the perimeter of the hotel.
Decker reached into his pocket and
retrieved his cellphone. He hit a speed dial number and the phone picked up on
the second ring. No one spoke on the other end. They didn’t have to.
“Confirmed. It’s Linus alright. The
Garden Way Hotel.”
“Roger that. Over and out.” replied the
deep male voice on the opposite end.
Decker disconnected the call. Now, like a
predator hunting its prey, Decker would play the waiting game with his target
until it was time to strike.
