Chapter Two Hundred Seventy-One

Adrik

I heard Sephie chuckle quietly behind me. I could feel her relaxing more now that she’d seen him speak. Andrei spoke up to answer his question. “Bombs. The two smaller warehouses are easily accessed. You guys will take care of those. The warehouse at the docks is crawling with Sal’s people. It’s going to be harder to get close enough to that one to plant explosives, so we’ll take care of that one.”

Oscar looked at Andrei. “You can make them all go boom at once. We can still plant the explosives on the smaller warehouses, but then be available to help at the docks. I’ve seen firsthand how many of Sal’s guys are at the docks. That’s a big job. You’re going to need extra help there.”

“Remote charges aren’t as reliable as I’d like,” Andrei said.

“You can confirm with Trino, because you shouldn’t take my word for it, but I figured out a reliable system in Colombia for remote charges. Worked like a charm every time. I’ll show you how. That’s why Trino sent me here,” Oscar said. “Then, we can set the smaller warehouses to go boom at exactly the same time as the one at the docks. Maximum chaos. That strategy is what helped Trino rise to power in Colombia.”

“Of course Trino would send us his explosives expert,” Sephie said in Russian. “If it turns out I was wrong about him, I’m going to ki ll him myself for making me like him so much.”

We all laughed, which

put the dealers at ease. “We’ll check with Trino. No offense, of course,” I said to Oscar.

“None taken, lefe. He told me to tell Sephie that my flair for the dramatic was almost as good as his should you question whether I was telling the truth,” he said.

“Point in your favor, Oscar,” Sephie said in English.

I called Trino to confirm Oscar was telling us the truth. This time, he picked up on the first ring. “Jefe,
