“You may have the most important role,” Carpio said to Soh. “We will be firing the missiles from the water, and the targeting must be precise.” He handed Soh a device that looked a little like a large garage door opener. There was a button at the top of it, and when he pushed it, a red beam came from the clear portion at the top. “This will paint the target and allow the missiles to strike where we need them to.”

“I understand,” Soh said, slipping the device into his pocket.

“Do you have a place identified where you have line of sight?”

Soh nodded. “Bond Drive is right off Courthouse Way, and it has a view of the garages. They will have some security to keep cars and the crowd from the courthouse, but there will be fewer, and they will not shut down the street some distance from the building itself. I will have a clear line of sight.”

“Good.” Carpio seemed satisfied for the moment.

“What happens after the missiles hit?” Suarez asked.

Carpio and Soh looked at each other for a moment, and then Carpio shrugged, giving Soh permission to share the rest of the plan.

“We have a man on the inside who will free Vincente,” he said. “All he has to do is make it to the shore and Javier and his men will be there to pick him up.”

“What then, though?” Suarez pushed. “How will you escape on the water? They will be able to follow you.”

“We have arranged for there to be enough traffic on the water to make it impossible to keep us in sight. And we will have another boat in the harbor that we will be able to transfer to once we are lost on the water, so that by the time the police locate our attack boats, we will be gone.”

Suarez raised his eyebrows. “That seems risky,” he said.

“It is,” Javier agreed. “But it is the only way. And he is my brother. If you both do your jobs, there will be such chaos on the shore that the likelihood that the police will have a boat on the water in time to catch us is very low. If they do manage it, we will fight our way through.”

Soh nodded. “We will do our jobs. And when this is over, you will make good on your end of the bargain.”

Javier Carpio nodded. “I am always true to my word,” he said. “You will control the harbor.”
