CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Mitch
âWhat the hell, Sam! I told you I didnât want Abi on this trip. Why did you convince her?â I snarl into my cell as the limo pulls up to the posh hotel smack in the middle of Miami Beach. I donât think itâs a coincidence that Sam waited until Iâm already here to break the news.
âShe volunteered, Mitch. She insisted.â
âWhat did you say? Because it mustâve been something.â Iâd gotten her to quit. Iâd finally driven her away.
âDonât ask me. I told her it was a mistake asking her to protect you because your life isnât worth saving.â
âHar bloody har. Youâre a fucking riot, mate. But this is no time for jokes. She canât be a part of this.â
âThen change your mind. Go home. I can get you on a flight back to Houston at noon.â
If I did that, Iâd get sued for millions instead of receiving my final paycheck. And the last thing I need is more headaches. My focus needs to be on swimming and winning. âIâm not breaching my contract with Weeno, Iâm not going to hide like a coward, and Iâm not altering one single day of my life for those greedy Kemmler bastards.â
âThen at this point, we need to stick to the plan. And I need Abi. Sheâs the only one who can blend into the crowd or look like one of your Weeno girls if I need her to. By the way, for the record, I really hate saying Weeno girls. It makes me feel dirty.â
âJoin the club. Which is why after this weekend and my contract is fulfilled, Iâm done with them.â And, hopefully soon, Iâll be given the date to testify against Kristoff. As for the Kemmlers, Iâve given that cluster of a situation a lot of thought. I have one and only one option to get them to back down, but itâs a risk.
âI just hope whatever this sponsor is paying you is worth it,â Sam says.
âIt is.â But on the inside, I know thatâs a lie. There is no amount of money worth someone getting hurt. âWhat I meant to say was itâs worth it for me. Which is why Iâm firing you, Sam. Call back the guys who came with me. Send them home.â As I speak, I look directly at the two men who flew in with me, now sitting in the back of the limo. Theyâre dressed like a boy band. I have no idea why.
âExcuse me?â Sam grumbles through the phone.
âIâm terminating your services. I thought I could justify having your team on this trip since youâre all ex-commandos, but thatâs the asshole I used to be whoâs speaking. This new asshole couldnât live with himself if anyone got hurt. Especially you.â Sam is about to get married. Heâs got a little monkey at home. Heâs a good man.
âIs this because Abi is coming?â
Yes. And no. âI meant what I said. Your services are no longer needed, mate.â The hotel valet opens the passenger-side door.
