Ethan postulated how it went down.
“When we went toBull’s, we knew they were trafficking humans, but we couldn't break cover. I’m going to say the person taking the victims is supplying the drugs. That puts the victims in the biker’s hands to have some fun,” he said, watching Corbin.
He flinched.
Gene knew what they needed to do.
“If we take down the bikers, that will likely make the supplier panic, and if the FBI is watching someone, and they likely are, we might be able to find them easily, but only if we interview them first and they up and bail.”
Corbin was confused.
“Will the FBI tell us who it is?”
Greyson was honest.
“It might not be the FBI who is watching. It could be the CIA,” Greyson admitted. “If CIA operatives are working it, the FBI is getting minimal information. They don’t play well together.”
Corbin wasREALLYconfused now. That sounded stupid for two agencies not to work together.
“I don’t understand,” he admitted.
Gene kept teaching.
“This takes us to rule four, Corbin. The CIA doesn’t work in the US, but the CIA absolutely does work in the US. They just can’t let anyone know what they do. They help the FBI out all of the time, or they cock block them, depending on the director in charge. If they like the guy, they are copesetic, and in good order, then they’ll be helpful.”
Corbin was honest.
“Why does the US government now scare me?” Corbin asked.
And that led them to rule five.
“Always be afraid of the government,” Gene said. “If you’re not, you’re going to get burned.”
Well, that was terrifying.
Ethan was to the point.
“Anyway, what we have to do tonight is eliminate one part of the cycle, and it might stir it up enough that someone pops out as the lead suspect on who is handling the drugs coming into the country. Because if our government is damn sure it handled thedrug pipeline in Colombia, that might mean that someone still has access to the supply line, or it’s already here.”
Corbin just listened.
Saying nothing.
Gene had a sneaking suspicion that it was going to be interesting tonight.
“If Gabe wants us to have an alibi, that means Ethan and I are about to do sketchy shit.”
Ethan grinned despite how dangerous this was likely going to be.
“I love sketchy shit. It gets the heart pumping,” he joked.
Gene just shook his head.
Ethan was probably the only one who liked it. What he knew was sketchy shit was dangerous.
And danger might get them killed.
