Grilling Martinis Hank Hart Series 2 – Alexi Venice

Sean asked. “Wait—let me guess. A Hummer?” “Too cliché,” Buck said. “I’ll take a Denali over anything else.” Sean chuckled. “I can’t picture that car, but I’ll be sure to Google it.” He gestured toward the compact Renault Clio. “It doesn’t go very fast, but it holds more than you think it does. The windows are tinted very dark, so no one can see what you’re doing inside.”

Crystal waggled her eyebrows at Hank. Sean moved to the back of the vehicle and opened the hatch. He removed the floor section where the spare tire was customarily stored, and before them lay an arsenal—handguns, AR-15s with scopes and silencers, and enough ammo to fight the Hezbollah. “For your protection.” “Impressive,” Buck said. “We don’t want to advertise that.” “Especially if the police are nearby,” Sean said.

“Gun laws are much stricter in France than America. You need a license to transport rifles, and this AR obviously isn’t for hunting, which would pose a problem for you. So keep the guns hidden or you might be arrested, and that would require hours o diplomacy and paperwork.” “Don’t our black passports operate like get-out-of-jail-free cards?” Buck asked.

“Psitt,” Sean said like only the French can. “You would be subjected to al kinds of interrogation and my neck would be on the line because the car is registered to my business. I’m counting on you to stay out of trouble with the police and run your mission in a covert manner, no?” “Of course,” Buck said. “I was just messing with you. We specialize in dark ops.”

“That’s what Elizabeth told me,” Sean said. “Now, here’s my card. When your mission is complete, call me at this number and we’ll arrange a meeting time. If you run into any trouble whatsoever, feel free to call me as well. I you do have an unfortunate interaction with law enforcement, tell them to cal me at this number.”

“Got it,” Buck said. “The key fob is in the center console,” Sean said. “Who’s driving?” “I am,” Crystal said. “She’s a licensed pilot,” Buck said. “And she drives a car like Danica Patrick.” “I put her to shame,” Crystal said. “Formula One is more my style.” Sean’s soft, brown eyes opened wide. “Please return my Clio in one piece It doesn’t corner like a Mercedes, no matter who’s behind the wheel.” “I haven’t damaged a Clio yet,” Crystal deadpanned. Hank stifled a laugh but just barely. Buck rolled his eyes and said, “Thanks for everything, Sean.”

Once they were on their way, Hank observed that Crystal drove fast and smooth, just like she made love.

She eased her modes Toyota Corolla along the circular drive and stopped in front of a glass and steel multi-story structure looming over the lakeside. She was dumbstruck This couldn’t be their new family lake cabin—a cold, impersonal fortress tha looked horribly out of place in the Northwoods. Dad reimagined our old cabin into a fucking office building? A cozy log cabin had once occupied this knoll where she and her parents Mavis and Bob Hart, had spent summers during her childhood through he college years.

Bob had told her a few years ago while she was busy practicing law in Chicago that he was tearing down the old cabin and building a new one but never in a million years had she envisioned this atrocity. She gaped at the sleek lines, custom windows, flat roofs, all connected like Legos into a sprawling ultra-modern configuration.
