“Ballsy,” Carla said while she worked.
“Fuckin’ right it’s ballsy,” Carter said. “What’s your plan for getting past security?”
Rain looked annoyed at Carter. “Carla hasn’t told me what the plan is yet. When she tells me, make sure you’re listening so she doesn’t have to repeat herself.”
“No pressure, right?” Carla said.
“Take all the time you need, Carla, but the bitch dies tonight.”
“Like you said, Carla, no pressure,” Carter said and made himself comfortable.
“Nobody asked you to come and you can get the fuck on anytime you feel like.” Rain exhaled and turned to face Carla. “Well?”
“There is a way for you to walk through the lobby, take the elevator up to her floor, ring her doorbell and put two in her head the second she opens the door, but we can’t do it tonight.”
“Why not?”
“I can get you past the cameras no problem, and you can wear a good disguise, I mean something stronger than your blonde wig and sunglasses, so no witnesses identify Rain Robinson at the scene. I can even unlock her door so you can walk right in, there is just no way to get you past the security guard and the ID scanner without valid ID and that will take time.”
“Told you. I checked the place out. Even with ID, there’s a better chance that the police will be able to identify you even with a disguise.”
“There are a number of good buildings for Monika or X to set up on with a clear shot of her unit,” Carla said. “I know her routine and there are plenty of opportunities to hit her away from the building.”
“Find me a way to kill her tonight,” Rain demanded.
“You’re being unreasonable,” Carter said shaking his head.
“I’m gonna tell you this one more time. Nobody asked you t
o come and you can damn sure get the fuck on anytime you feel like.”
“Wait a second,” Carla said.
“What?” Rain asked and Carla tapped one of the smaller screens. An image of the lobby came up on the main screen. She pointed.
“Kirk and Dawkins in the lobby.”
“What are they doing here?” Carter asked.
“Black said that Kirk was assigned Doc’s murder,” Rain said.
“Maybe they’re here to arrest her,” Carter said.
“If that’s the case, I’d love to know what he knows,” Rain said.
“What do you want to do?” Carter asked, hoping that under the circumstances, she would become more reasonable than she had been.
“Let’s go.” Rain folded her arms across her chest like a pouting child. “If Kirk is on to her, I’ll get Black to talk to him. And you get to work on that ID for me.”
“Ain’t no way we can hear what’s going on in there?” Carter asked and Carla just looked at him like he should know better.
“No. Not from this distance,” Carla said as she disengaged from their security. “I need to get a whole lot closer than this or we need to get somebody in there to set up surveillance.”
“What’s it gonna take to get eyes and ears in there?” Rain asked.
“It will be difficult, but not impossible,” Carla said as she got behind the wheel and started the van.
Rain looked over at Carter. “You were right. I was being unreasonable.” She paused. “And that’s all I have to say about that.”
