“Understood,” Doc said, and knew exactly who he planned to assign this task to.
“Carter, you’re with me. We’re going to take the number bank and kill Coleman.”
Carter nodded his head, glad that he was going with Rain and if he wasn’t, he’d insist. If she won’t keep her ass still, I need to have her back, and her front, Carter thought as the buzzer chimed.
“I have Monika here to see you,” Yarissa informed.
“Send her in,” Rain said. “That’s it everybody.”
When everybody but Wanda stood up, Rain looked at Carter. “You stay, Carter,” she said as Yarissa showed Monika into the office. After speaking briefly with the Captain’s as they exited, Monika sat down.
“What you got for us?” Rain asked when Yarissa closed the door behind her.
“Bautista’s snitch was Jadonna Marrin,” Monika began.
“Who the fuck is that?” Rain asked.
“She used to be one of Simone’s women.”
“One of Jada’s women, you mean,” Wanda said.
Both Rain and Monika glanced at Wanda before Rain nodded her head and then Monika continued. “I’m not sure how Bautista got her hooks in her, but she was involved with Lucus Hill.”
“He’s one of my guys,” Carter acknowledged.
“She put Bautista on to a deal they had set up with El Decreto de Guerra to buy weapons. Her plan was to catch Hill after he did the deal, flip him and work her way up to Rain.” Monika looked at her. “She wants you bad, Sunshine.”
“Wait a minute,” Carter said, not believing what he was hearing. “This guy had a deal with the same guys that killed Reese and shot Geno and Smoke?”
“Yes. But it wasn’t his deal.”
“Whose deal was it?” Carter demanded to know.
“Jab Baldwin.”
Carter’s eyes narrowed. “That mutha fucka.”
“He had conspired with Kenard Turner to set it up so you’d go to do the deal and then they would tip the ATF.”
Carter shook his head. “Anything else?”
“That’s it,” Monika said.
“Ain’t that enough?” Rain asked.
“What about Hill and his deal with El Decreto de Guerra?” Wanda asked.
Monika looked at Wanda. “Jada ordered their termination. Me and the X-man took care of Hill and his partner before they got anywhere near the meeting at Salsa Con Tarifa.”
“And Jadonna Marrin?” Rain asked.
“Jada killed her per
sonally.”
“Thank you, Monika,” Rain said.
“Anything for you, Sunshine,” Monika said, and then she left the office.
