The next morning, Katlian gets a text from one of her snitches. He has the location of where Murder Inc. was working out of. He was willing to give her the location for a price.

She wakes Kelli up to let her know she had a lead. Once Kelli is awake had her coffee, Katlian text her contact back to let them know she’ll meet up with them. She’ll pay a little more what they wanted, if the information is good.

Katlian knew most of her snitches were good people who were just misunderstood. She didn’t deal with drug users, because they could always be used to set her up. That happened once to many times, and she almost got herself killed.

Kelli looks at Katlian once she was ready “do you trust this person?”

“Yeah, I do. They know if it is a setup, and I survive. I’ll come after them and make them pay for it.”

“Okay, how do you want to do this?” Kelli looks at Katlian to see if she had a plan.

“I want you to be my overwatch. If they plan on ambushing me, I want you to disable them. Don’t kill them but disable. They will still have information that is valuable.” Katlian has used this tactic before when she didn’t trust someone.

“Alright, let’s go and do this.” Kelli checks her guns.

“We have one stop before we do this.” Katlian leads Kelli out to her wrangler and get in.

“Okay.” Kelli wonders where they were going.

Katlian drives to one of her secretive warehouses. She bought a few new buildings and has been renovating them for some of her more valuable vehicles and illegal weapons she has managed to get her hands on. She presses a hidden remote in the wrangler as she gets close to it. By the time she arrives in front of the new bay doors. She drives inside and parks her wrangler.

“We’re taking the beat-up Maverick over there.” Katlian points to a beat up looking dark color 1972 Ford Maverick.

“Are you sure about this?” Kelli walks over and looks at the thing. In her opinion, the thing should be in a junkyard.

A smirk appears on Katlian’s face “there’s more then meets the eye.”

“You do know that is from Transformers, don’t you?” Kelli transfers her gear to the Maverick.

“Nope! I didn’t know that.” Katlian has never seen any of the movies or even read the comic books when she was growing up. She was to busy learning about cars and stealing things.

Katlian double checks the Maverick to make sure it still had her sniping rifle in it. She also makes sure all the other weapons and gear she kept in it was there as well, before leaving. She makes sure the garage door is sealed and locked before leaving.

Katlian leaves Kelli with the Maverick and walk towards where her contact was supposed to be meeting her. She walks into the dead-end alleyway carefully, watching everything.

“Tyrone, are you here?” Katlian continues to walk into the alley carefully.

“Yeah, I’m here, Kat.” Tyrone steps out from between two large dumpsters.

Katlian notices Tyrone was wearing a dirty military jacket, camouflage pants and several worn t-shirts. His full grey beard covered the bottom part of his face.

“So, what do you have for me, Tyrone?”

“I have the information you want, but I want all of my payment up front, first.” Tyrone knew he was sticking his neck out to help Katlian.

“Just give me the information and I’ll make sure you get paid the full amount. You know how I operate.” Katlian has worked with Tyrone before and trusted him.

“I do know, but this time it’s a little more dangerous.”

“For whom?” Katlian steps closer to Tyrone.

“For the two of us.” Tyrone knew if the people at Murder inc. found out that he helped Katlian, they would come after him.

Katlian thinks about Tyrone’s request. She knew he was sticking his neck out for her.

“Fine, but this information better be good.” Katlian pulls a prepaid card out of her pocket and hands it to Tyrone.

“It is. I’m going to disappear after this.”

“All right, lets have it.” Katlian listens closely to Tyrone.

Tyrone starts talking telling Katlian everything he knows. The location of the headquarters of Murder Inc. Itself and where the members of the company like to hang out. He gives her the names of some of the top hitters in the company.

“Thanks, Tyrone.” Katlian watches as Tyrone walks away from her.

Katlian turns and walks out of the alley. She makes a motion with her hand to let Kelli know to meet her at the car. She makes sure she isn’t followed. Just as she is about to make the final turn towards her car, she spots someone following her.

An evil smile appears on her face, as she takes a different turn and hide in the shadow. A few seconds goes by and the person following her turns the corner. She steps out of the shadow and knock the person down to the ground.

“I wouldn’t get back up if I were you.” Katlian had her gun out and pointing at the person.

Jacob couldn’t believe he had been outsmarted by a white woman. He turns over and spots the woman that he knew was marked for death.

“Why were you following me?” Katlian looks down into the young man’s face.

“Why do you think?” Jacob wanted that money placed on this woman’s head.

“You made a big mistake coming for me.” Katlian knocks the young man out and secures his hands behind his back.

Katlian calls 911 to have him picked up. She moves quickly and heads towards the Maverick.

“It took you long enough. What happened?” Kelli was waiting for Katlian.

“Some young punk thought he could take me.” Katlian gets in the car.

“So, what now?” Kelli wonders what Katlian’s next move was.

“Now, we go knocking on their door.” Katlian puts the car into gear and drives towards the location of the headquarters.
