Latest from the Janitors, Asps, Other Books, and More Books - Pool Of Blood (Other Books) - Assassin warned to change hideouts.



Today’s excerpt is from Pool Of Blood, Book #3 of the Becker Trilogy.  The assassin hired to kill Michelle gets a warning about the sale of houses near his hideout.  Enjoy and have a great day.

Newton was on his way there because Hoyer had decided it was a good idea to let him know about the sales.  While he didn’t think it had anything to do with Newton, he knew the man had picked that house to spend most of his time at because of the lack of neighbors.  Of the houses on the block, only the one next door one was occupied—and it was occupied by an older couple.  Their son often visited—in fact, it had been his car that Bob had seen parked in front.  The son had parked in front because he planned to drive his mother to a doctor’s appointment, and wanted to use his parent’s car to give it “some exercise”, since they didn’t get out very often.

When the cell phone used only for contact with Hoyer rang, Newton was surprised at the call, but answered, “Hello—I was about to call you.  A try at her house won’t work.  They’ve got sensors all over the place.  So go ahead and get her court appearance schedule.  I’ll have to make my try there—or set up someplace on the road from the house to Wentzville.”

“I’ll get right on it.  In the meantime, the reason for my call is to let you know it might be a good idea to change your base of operations.  My company that owned the empty houses there has agreed to sell them.  The buyer is a clinic about fifteen minutes driving time away.  They are doing something with bionic limbs for former servicemen who lost them in combat.  They’re running out of housing for those rehabbing.  Seems likely to be nothing more, but there will be all kinds of people coming and going.  They will have former servicemen living there with their families until their rehabs are done.”

“Thanks for letting me know.  I’ll move right away.  Wanted to spend some time at the house with my shooting platform, to make sure everything is working anyhow.  Want to drive it around some, to make sure it’s up-to-speed mechanical wise.”

“I think you moving is a good idea.  I’ll get on getting her schedule right now.  Get back to you when I have something.  Probably be Monday or Tuesday before I get the information.”
