The Following Ficlet Takes Place Between 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM

1:04:01 AM

Marcos turned onto 6th Street, looked into his rearview and waited for it. Suddenly, a white van sideswiped the Caravan. Dr. Reeves hopped out of his BMW and sprang into action, dragging the driver of the Caravan into the street.

Marcos was tempted to turn around and pickup Reeves, but he didn’t dare upset the Mastermind. At least, not yet. Instead, he drove back to the warehouse, a smile on his face. Victor finally did something right.

1:05:38 AM

Victor hopped out of the white van and limped over to Reeves. “I didn’t see him coming. Will he be all right?”

“Yes, but it’s not a he,” Reeves said, testily. “It’s a she. And you better have a damn good lawyer because her husband is a very well connected man.”

“You know her?”

“I’m having an affair with her, but you probably knew that, didn’t you? Tell me something, who do you work for?”

“Excuse me.”

“Somebody told you to take us out,” Reeves said, pulling out a gun. “And I’m willing to bet it’s the same person who has my son.”
