godforsaken job, they had something else to do that still expounded on their skills. KB Securities served the high ended client with whatever they needed. Bodyguard, security system, secure transportation 34
Ian Kinncaid couldn’t wait to get back to the real world … or would that just be the civilian world? A world away from shadows and sanctioned killings would be nice.
He’d settle for drug and murder free, but Utopia was a bit beyond most. Hell, he’d just settle to be Ian Kinncaid again.
“John.” He stood and walked to the fridge pulling out two bottles of water and tossing one to his partner. “Viktor wants it done as soon as possible.”
John took a deep breath.
“What made the bastard finally turn on her?”
Ian took a drink and set the bottle very carefully on the counter. “The fact she went behind his back and opened up negotiations with the American ring he nixed last year.”
“Woman was never one to back down.”
“No, and apparently her new clients are of a special breed of depraved humans.
She supplies them with children.”
John, in the process of taking a drink, paused and then lowered the water bottle, his eyes weary. “Well, we both know she’s not one to start up an adoption ring.”
“No.” He washed the sour taste out of his mouth with a slow drink of water and watched his friend.
“Son of a bitch.”
“Yeah.”
“You should have let me kill the woman years ago.”
“Should have, but we’d both have been in a brig and you know it.”
John shrugged. “We wouldn’t have left any trace. She would have just disappeared.”
Ian held up a hand. “I don’t want to know anymore. You do what you have to, let me know how I need to help, but unless you really think I need to know, I’d rather not have the details.”
John took a long drink of water before saying, “You mean like you kept the details from me of one Nina Fisher and of course our dearly loved Congressman Burbanks?”
Ian ignored the references to the times he helped rid his family of those who would have harmed them.
“When?” John asked.
Ian looked at his friend “As soon as possible. I’m supposed to find her and get the deed done.”
“Wonderful.”
Ian thought about how to phrase his words. “I don’t want to just take her out, John. If she’s into kids, I want to know who, where, when and where the hell she picked them up. I won’t leave any child in the kind of hell Elianya would provide.”
“Agreed.” John took a deep breath, then sat and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I suppose now would be the time to inform since it came up, I wasn’t sent to just watch your back, there’s more going on here. What exactly do you know about the child porn ring going on?”
Ian shook his head and stood, the water roiling in his stomach. “What ring? Or should I say which ring?” When he’d first come on this sting, he’d been opened to a world he’d rather have just heard about. Pornography in surplus in dark shadows better 35
left alone, murder, enforced prostitution.… He’d mentioned once to his superior how he didn’t know how he was supposed to make a difference here. Pete had told him it wasn’t about making a damn difference, but following orders and getting the job done. Mr.
Dimitri Petrolov’s job was to move up the ranks in one Viktor Hellinski’s organization.
No one cared about the girls, no one cared about the dark aspects. They were all worried that Mr. Hellinski was tied into fronting terrorists.
“What about the porn ring?” he asked with a sigh. “The one Viktor’s just learned of and is so pissed about?”
“One that has a strong base of supplying here in Prague. We think the kids are being taken from low income families, though that’s still undecided. Some cop in your Connecticut stumbled upon a murder that apparently led to sex crimes. The victim had a computer and all sorts of info on the financial end of a child porn ring. Dots are leading back
