Leave No Stone Unturned Chp. 10

Rachel’s and Maia’s Apartment:
Aisha looks at everyone as they sat at the dining room table. Some of the people she knew, but she didn’t know the Native American or the other woman. It turns out that the other woman was Maia’s roommate. Also, on the table was the pile of money that had been in the boxes she was supposed to deliver.

When Warewolf counted the money, it came to five hundred thousand dollars. Most of the bills were in bundles of hundred-dollar bills. There were piles of fifties, and other nominations bundled together.

“Who would pay half a million dollars?” Cora was looking at the money.

“Someone who wants me, and the others left of my unit dead.” Rachel was looking at the money and figure they could do something with it.

“Why would someone spend so much money to kill you, Rachel, and your old unit?” Maia looks at Rachel with a puzzled look on her face.

“Some people over in the Middle East believe in honor killing and such. Since members of my unit and myself have killed religious extremists.
They want revenge in the name of their god for the killing. The problem is, this has been going on for centuries and it needs to come to an end.”

“It never will, Rachel. You have too many people who love power and don’t want to give it up.” Warewolf did a study of the Middle East back in his college days.

“Then, I’ll be more than happy to keep sending them to Allah or hell. Either place is fine with me.” Rachel didn’t like religious extremists or how they treated women over in the middle east.

“You really hate them, don’t you?” Maia looks at Rachel.

“If you saw what they did over there Maia and what they did to the woman who saved me. You would feel the same as I do.” Rachel still felt responsible for what happened to Dr. Sindi.

Warewolf looks at Rachel and knew she’ll never let what happened to her or the doctor that saved her life go. He knew that was why Patton wanted her to take some time off. She needed time to let things go before he would let her go on another mission.

“So, what are you guys going to do about this money? Also, do you think there is anyone at the warehouse I was supposed to deliver this to?”
Aisha was curious if the people were still expecting their delivery.

“I doubt they are still there, Aisha.” Warewolf had a feeling that since the place has been compromised. That it wasn’t being used.

“Why would you say that?” Cora was curious.

She has been sitting and observing everyone. She noticed Maia was just a citizen caught up in whatever Rachel was involved in.

“Because I left several small cameras there and I have been monitoring the place.” Warewolf figures it might be a good idea to bug the place.

“That was smart think.” Rachel liked it.

“I thought so.”

Aisha noticed what time it was. She had to get back to the office and give Chuck some money for the delivery she made up. She reaches towards the pile of money and takes a few dollars from it.

“I hope you guys don’t mind, but I have to get back to the office and pay my boss for this made-up delivery.” She only took a fifty from the pile.

“That’s fine. Why don’t you take a little more for yourself? I figure you might have missed out on some deliveries being here with us.” Warewolf grabs a few hundred bills from the bundle and gives them to Aisha.

“Thanks.” Aisha tucks the money into her pants pocket.

“Why don’t you give me the address where this money was supposed to be delivered and I’ll do some snooping around.” Cora figures she might be able to find something.

“I’ve already looked around the place. What do you think you’ll find?” Warewolf looks at Cora.

An evil smile appears on Cora’s face “let’s just say I possess unique abilities.”

That got Rachel’s and Maia’s attention. They wonder what Cora could be talking about.

“Are you talking about your detective skills?” Maia figures Cora must be talking about her skills as a detective.

“You can say that.” A smile forms on Cora’s face.

“Well, I got to go guys. Call me if you think I can be of any help.” Aisha starts walking towards the door.

Maia follows behind her. She was worried that the people who were after Rachel, might come after Aisha.

“Aisha, watch your back and call us if something doesn’t feel right.”

“Thanks, I will.” Aisha waves go by as she walks out of the apartment.

Warewolf writes the address down of the warehouse and hands it to Cora. He wonders what she’ll be able to find that he missed “here’s the
address.” He hands a piece of paper to her.

“Thanks.” Cora tucks it into her pouch.

“Let us know if you find anything, Mrs. Black.” Rachel wanted to know if there were any more Isis assassins out there.

“I will.” Cora follows behind Aisha as she walks out of the apartment.

Maia looks at Rachel and Warewolf “do you think she’ll find anything?”

“I don’t know, but she did find out a lot of information about Rachel. All that information she had on Rachel, should have been classified.” Warewolf knew that Rachels’ former name would have been changed, after her operation.

“I have to agree with Warewolf. It would seem she has some connections in high places. Did you find anything on her?” Rachel looks at Warewolf.

“She’s who she said she is. She’s registered in the four states that border where she lives and has been done work for the US Marshal service in that area. Her home address and office address are the same. It’s located on the Navajo Indian Reservation.” Warewolf did some digging around about Mrs. Black.

Aisha heads back to Global Courier Services to pay her boss. While she is riding towards her work. She thinks about the situation she has gotten herself in and wonders if anyone would be at the warehouse.

Cora heads towards the address to start snooping around. She was thinking about snooping around at Mr. Davis resident to see what his security system was like.
