Maces POV

Pulling into the underground parking lot, I parked next to Kalen and John before hopping out of the car. Kalen also gets out, and we quickly go over the plans again while John plays with my phone and pairs it to his and Kalen‘s so they can track me. 

“We will be right behind you. John will grab Ava from the meeting spot, and I will follow. Derrick and Dion are waiting for the call. Once we have your location, we ambush him.” Kalen tells me and I nod. My heart was thumping rapidly as nerves kicked in, and I was stressing over leaving with Carter, even if only temporarily.

“Here, but just in case this disconnects, take this,” John says, handing me something that looks suspiciously like a suppository. He‘s pulling my leg, right? I hold it up, looking at it.

“And what am I supposed to do with this?” I ask, and they both mumble and look away from me.

“Oh, hell no! You shaft it!” No way was that going up my butt. 

“It‘s just a precaution,” John mutters. “I don‘t see you shoving anything up your ass! Do I look like a drug mule?” I snap. 

“Always the other …” Kalen starts to say, but I hold up a hand to stop him before he can tell me his suggestion. 

“Nope! Definitely not.” I growl, annoyed at how easy they were discussing my nether bits. 

“Geez, woman, just swallow the damn thing!” John says. I growl but swallow the rubbery device.

“You better hope that comes out. And easily. I am not going to the damn hospital and explaining this shit!” I tell him and John sighs. 

“Hey, you wouldn‘t let us get anyone involved but Derrick and Dion, so we need backup plans. That is the backup plan,” Kalen tells me. 

I rolled my eyes before snatching the water off him and sculling some. The damn thing felt like it was lodged in my throat.

Pulling my phone from my pocket, I glanced at it knowing it was getting close to the time. We quickly went over the plans once more. Carter said Ava would be dropped to the old mine tunnels where he dropped Micah. 

Once I was out of the city with him, that was where John was heading first.

Kalen was following behind me to the borders in one of the delivery trucks that came in this morning. God knows how much he had to pay the driver to the truck over and wait around, but a random car would look suspicious.

“Okay, where are you meeting Carter again?” John asks. 

“The train bridge. Then once we leave the city limits, he said he would make a call to whoever has Ava.”
