"Does he want to see us?"

Jackie nodded. "Yeah. I think he'll take us off the bottom job. We proved ourselves tonight. Give me five, Vegas. Come on, don't leave a man hanging."

Hudson grinned at his partner and high-fived him. "You really know how to get under the boss's skin, don't you?"

Jackie puffed out his chest. "Yeah. There's no one like me when it comes to that. I bet it's because of that he wasn't harder on us for losing Jasper. But how could I stop the guy from leaving, with his momma and all?"

He couldn't allow himself any feeling of victory, as this was only the beginning. Soon, he would be able to step into the big boss's inner sanctum, and that showed trust. And trust, in such circles, was hard-earned, which meant that he had serious reservations about what Watkins really thought about him and his involvement in the night's events.

The place was a modern mansion, perched on the top of a hill, as if to show the mere mortals that no one could afford living higher in the area. It was an impersonal monster of concrete and steel, with floor to ceiling windows that created the illusion of an all-seeing eye glaring down at them as they climbed the hill.

The lights were on downstairs, which meant that they were expected. Jackie gushed enthusiastically about the place, although Hudson couldn't see the guy ...
