a fantastic day.

After they had
all checked into the motel, Harry carried a briefcase down to Neil’s room and
entered. He opened the briefcase and
took out a set of pictures identical to the ones Mark and Dan had found. “These are your targets. The original plan, as I told you, was for
Morris to simply blow them both up in their homes. The plant is well guarded and very
secure. Their homes—or travel between
them and the plant—are our best chances.
I should be getting additional information shortly. In the meantime, please try to come up with a
plan.”
Neil
grunted. “You said they are now
alerted. Are they likely to be well
guarded?”
“Yes. By both local police and probably FBI. Maybe outside help as well, like full time
bodyguards.”
Neil looked at
Ben, then at Harry. “You sure are a
doozy, Harry. This is a messed up deal…the
damn FBI no less. What in the hell are
you getting us into here?”
“I told you they
were alerted.”
“Yeah, fine,
alerted. You didn’t tell us they’d have
an army guarding them. Who are these
people? And what are they?”
Harry lied,
“They’re industrialists, or at least he is.
The woman is his assistant. They
cheated my principal, and must be killed soon, so he can recoup some of his
losses. I’m not sure just why speed is
necessary, but I’ve been assured it is.”
“Then why is the
FBI involved?”
“I don’t know,
but was told to expect that they would be.”
“Jesus, Harry,
you’re a wealth of information. Well, at
least we’re warned.”
“Good. Study the deal and see what you can
tentatively come up with. Also, make a
list of weapons you think you’ll need.”
“Damn tank would
be nice,” growled Ben—without smiling.
Neil
grunted. “First thing you had to say,
Ben, and you hit the nail on the stinking head.
Get outta here, Harry, and let us think.”
