they hell are they going?” Leo muttered as they followed the truck. Lima 6’s territory ended at Cathedral Mountain Road, about halfway between Vallecito and Alpine.
“I don’t know. I figured we were stopping in Alpine.”
“Yeah. Me too. I wonder if Kat has sent us onto a wild goose chase?”
“Maybe, but I don’t think she would do it on purpose.”
“No. Me either. But I have no idea where we are headed.”
As they headed north, they bypassed Fort Stockton, the next most logical destination, and continued all the way to Odessa, Texas, before stopping.
“I wonder if they are stopping for gas or if this is where they are handing off the drugs?” Leo wondered as he followed them into a large truck stop off Interstate 20.
“Beats the hell out of me. We’ve driven halfway across Texas. Why stop now?”
Leo snickered as he found a place among other cars to park but could still see the truck they had been following. “I think this blows the whole ‘we’re just escorting the drugs through our territory’ claim all to hell.”
“No kidding. Listen, I gotta go. I didn’t expect to be in the car this long.”
“Go. I got this. But hurry. I need to pee too if we hit the road again.”
Jamie leaned over and give him a quick kiss before opening her door and hurrying into the store.
When she returned a few minutes later she was on her phone talking with Rachel to have her open the bar. “Anything?” she asked as she sat down and finished her conversation.
“Nothing yet.”
After Leo returned from his trip into the store, they sat for another thirty minutes before another vehicle arrived. Gigolo and Carson greeted the man warmly as Jamie snapped pictures.
“No colors,” Leo observed.
“So?”
“So, nothing really. Just one more thing. You’re always supposed to be in colors on club business.”
The three men spoke briefly then Gigolo and Carson got into the SUV the other man arrived in, and the man crawled behind the wheel of the truck they had followed.
“Now what?” Jamie asked as Carson and Gigolo headed for the interstate.
“Now, nothing. They’ve obviously turned over the drugs to the next leg. So I guess we’re done. We’ll never make it back to Vallecito before you have to open the bar—”
“Already taken care of.”
“—so how do you feel about a night on the town in Odessa? It will be nice to not have to spend the entire time with one eye on the door.”
“I think that sounds like a wonderful idea. I didn’t bring a change of clothes, and neither did you.”
“I guess we'll just have to take care to not get them dirty or rumpled so we can wear them again tomorrow.”
Jamie purred. “I like the way you think.”

After picking out an Italian place on the Internet, they stopped at a local grocery store and picked up a bottle of wine to enjoy with their meal. The restaurant was nothing fancy, but the food was good and the company was outstanding. They lingered over their meal, just talking and enjoying each other’s company.
After their meal they did a little pub crawling, making a stop at Graham Central Station and Lost Coyote Saloon. Being that Odessa was four hours from Vallecito, and a much larger market, the bars didn’t compete with He’s Not Here , but Jamie enjoyed checking out “the competition” anyway.
They finally checked into a mid-range motel near the local university. As they settled in Jamie sent Kat a text, telling her they had followed the drugs and that Leo would like to meet with Copper and discuss the future of the club and his role in it.
As they drifted toward sleep with Jamie wrapped comfortably in Leo’s arm, Kat had not responded to her text, but she wasn’t worried. If Kat wanted Copper to meet Leo, there was little doubt in her mind he would be there. It was only a matter of time.
