Book Excerpt
The next morning, Decker
sat in his black sedan hidden by its tinted windows. The information he had
received from the tablet led him to the Garden Way Hotel. The hotel was new in
the city on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Decker held a camera in his hands
like a photojournalist on assignment. He had taken pictures of everyone who had
entered the hotel but only construction workers had entered.
Decker had been in place
across from the hotel since dawn. Earlier that morning he had managed to place
security cameras near the other entrances that fed directly into his computer.
His laptop sat next to him in the passenger seat. Decker had views of the
docking and loading area as well as the other entrances of the hotel. It was
past eleven o’clock when Decker finally saw activity that interested him. A
silver sedan pulled up in from of the hotel. The driver hurried out and opened
the rear passenger door. The man who emerged from the backseat was tall, thin
and had blonde hair that had been neatly combed back. He wore an expensive suit
and a gray long coat. He looked to be in his late thirties and wore dark
shades. Decker immediately recognized him and lowered the camera away from his
face. His mouth gaped slightly.
“Linus.” he said aloud to
himself as if to confirm what his eyes had just witnessed. He quickly raised
the camera and rapidly took pictures. The driver led Linus inside. Decker made
sure to get a picture of the car and
the plates as well.
Decker was certain that whatever was going to happen would take place in this
hotel and soon. He quickly turned his attention to his laptop and saw guards
taking position at the entrances and securing the perimeter of the hotel.
Decker reached into his
pocket and retrieved his cellphone. He hit a speed dial number and the phone
picked up on the second ring. No one spoke on the other end. They didn’t have
to.
“Confirmed. It’s Linus
alright. The Garden Way Hotel.”
“Roger that. Over and
out.” replied the deep male voice on the opposite end.
Decker disconnected the
call. Now, like a predator hunting its prey, Decker would play the waiting game
with his target until it was time to strike.
