Hatter’s South American Safari Chap. 6

Printer-friendly version

“I can’t believe you burned his genitals and penis off.” Shade looks at Hatter.

“I had orders to leave a bloody message behind. Why do you think I craved the hat size I have on my calling cards on his chest?” Hatter made
sure any cartel member that saw the body will remember her message.

“At least she didn’t leave his head on a pike as her uncle does.” Terry glances over towards Shade.

“Wait a minute, did you just say he leaves cartel leaders heads on pikes?” Shade was watching Terry.

“Yes, Jack likes to leave messages informing his enemies what he will do to them. That’s why he is known in South America as the Devil’s Bounty Hunter.”

“So, he was the one responsible for that street gang heads being display a month back.” Shade had seen pictures of the heads and body left
on display.

“Yes. How’s our passenger?” Terry was concerned about the girl they rescued.

“She’s completely out of it and she needs medical attention.” Coyote was checking on her.

“Do you know of one nearby?” Aylin looks at Coyote for an answer.

The thing was, he was hard to read, because of the way his face looked. Since they teamed up with Coyote she has been wondering what he was. Also, how was he connected to one of her uncle’s friends?

“I know a place we can take her to get medical attention. It’s only a day’s drive from here.” Coyote figures the medic at the convent could help the girl.

“Alright, give me the directions to this place.” Terry was driving Rhino.

He wanted to put as much distance from the cartel stronghold they just blew-up as possible. So, for the road they were on was clear, according to the radar on Rhino.

“Show me on the GPS map.” Terry brings the satellite terrain map up.

Coyote walks over and looks at the satellite map. He saw where they were “here!” Coyote points on the screen where the convent is.

“Alright, we’ll head towards the convent.” Terry brings the coordinates up off the satellite feed.

Aylin looks at Coyote “so, what is your connection to this convent?”

“I have a friend that lives there.” Coyote just looks at Aylin with a straight face.

“How long do you think it's going to take for Vicente’s people to come after us?” Shade looks towards Terry.

“It will take them a while to locate us. Since you guys dropped most of their people. Also, their leadership is in shambles and they have no idea who did it.” Terry figures they might have a few days before they come looking for them.

Since it was going to take them at least a day to get to the convent. Aylin sits on the floor of Rhino to mediate. Shade cleans his weapons and
reloads his magazines.

Coyote sits in the co-pilot seat, while Aylin is meditating. He watches as they travel down the road leading towards the convent. When it gets
dark, Terry turns on the front running lights.

“Coyote, what is your connection to this convent?” Terry was curious.

“As I said, I have a friend that lives there. She helped me when I needed help.” Coyote watches the road through the high impact front window.

Terry glances at Coyote and wonders what he meant by the statement he gave. Terry turns on the autopilot and heads towards the back to relieve himself and grab some iced coffee. Rhino could drive himself if he needed too.

Coyote watches as Terry flips two switches on the left-hand side of the steering wheel. He saw the autopilot engage on the dash as Terry got up from the driver seat. When Terry walks past him, he wonders how the autopilot worked on Rhino.

Shade watches Terry as he comes walking past him, heading towards the bathroom. He hears the exhaust fan turns on when Terry walks into the bathroom. He looks towards the front and notices it was just Coyote up there in the co-pilot’s seat.

When Terry comes out of the bathroom, Shade looks at him “hey Terry, who is driving Rhino while you are back here?”

“Rhino is driving Rhino. He has a self-driving mode I can put him in.” Terry fixes himself an iced coffee.

“Do all the vehicles you build have that function?” Shade was thinking maybe he asks Terry to put it in his town car.

“Yes, Wraith has it, so does The Black Knight, and Noble as well.” Terry found giving the vehicles he builds the ability to drive themselves,
allow the driver to do other things.

The program that controlled the vehicle in self-drive mode, was better written and reacted better than the ones being written by most other companies. Google’s self-drive program was close to how perfect his program was. After he finishes his coffee and snack, he heads back to the driver seat.

Coyote leans back in the co-pilot seat and closes his eyes for a while. He was still aware of everything going on around him inside Rhino. He thinks about how he was going to switch from his Coyote identity too his other.

Shade looks at Coyote and notices he was out of it. He gets up and goes to the cargo bay to check on Hatter. He knows from experience that when Aylin was mediating, she tunes everything out. He leans down and places a kiss on her cheek.

He turns around and heads back towards the front. He sits down behind Terry and leans the comfortable seat back.

“Going to sleep, Shade?” Terry noticed Shade leaning the seat back behind him.

“Yeah, my girlfriend is meditating, Coyote looks to be catching some Zz’s and I finished cleaning all the weapons.”

“Missions like this can be boring and excited at the same time. When do you want me to wake you up?”

“When we are getting close to this convent.” Shade figures Aylin might be awake before him.

“Alright. I’m going to shut the inside lights off. Also, you can turn the heat on the seat, if you get too cold.”

“Thanks.” Shade locates the controls to the seat.

The internal lights turn off. It gets pitch black inside Rhino, except the lights on the dash, which dim. Terry leans back in his seat and listen to some music coming from the concealed speakers in the headrest.

Hatter always leaves distinct messages while she's playing with the bad guy. Messages which she makes sure are easy to read.

Coyote could use the toilet to change, but only if the others are allowed to see the other self. And maybe she should wait until she gets to the convent where she could change in her own room? If Coyote is she.

Others have feelings too.
