for a moment before Johnny broke the silence. “Have you considered anything else with the Channel Islands’ Mother Ship near San Luis Obispo? You mentioned Fernando Carone after our interrogation where we initially extracted Al-Kadi’s Pilot Hill location. When do you think we should move on him?”
    “Before he recruits another bunch of ‘bangers to pick up where the crew Jay ran left off. He’s aware of the huge gang fight leaving his ‘banger explorers dead by now. Fernando may or may not believe there’s a more organized crime syndicate here establishing a presence. When a guy like Carone believes he may be getting challenged, he might send a few pros here to soften up the situation. We may have to do some detective work before we move on the ‘Mother Ship’. If he sends pros, they’ll be thinking to look for other ‘banger types. They’ll be leaning on local punks and frequenting seedier hotspots in the area, hoping to get leads on non-existent threats.”
    “Where would you go for that, Muerto?”
    “If I was an out of town thug, I’d check in Salinas first, but then I’d have a drink at Carbone’s on Lighthouse in Monterey,” Nick answered. “They wouldn’t expect to find anything there, but they’ll probably stay in Monterey, even though they’ll be looking for connections in Pacific Grove. Carbone’s is one of the top rated ‘Dive’ bars in the area. It’s a great bar. Chasing unknown thugs would be a waste of time. We’ll take turns checking the place for the next week. Believe me. When the pros don’t find any leads, they’ll hit Carbone’s some night soon if they haven’t already. I’m hoping since Jay’s crew’s bodies were only found at the abandoned warehouse a short time ago, it will take Fernando time to decide about a follow-up check.”
    “Do you think Jay called Carone about the foiled roller rink heist?”
    “I doubt it, Cala. I’m sure Jay and his buddies figured just like we heard before they met the Unholy Trio – they planned to terrorize me and the kids on their own.”
    “Okay, so we take turns having a few at Carbone’s,” Gus said. “What then?”
    “We’ll have to take them at their motel or outside the bar. We’ll have to be discreet.”
    “How will you know if we find them, Muerto? They won’t have nametags.”
    “I’m surprised at you, Johnny. To think you don’t believe I’ll be able to pick them out in a crowd is very hurtful.”
    “Are you going to the bar every night?”
    “Nope. We’ll take turns with our cams. If it’s not my night, I’ll be here at home with my iPad handy for live streaming. I’ll do the first few nights to establish a presence.”
    “This sounds awfully flaky for the number one assassin in the world,” Gus kidded him.
    “You’ll eat those words, Payaso, when I find our pros.”
    “Let me go tomorrow night with Tina. She and I haven’t been out on a Saturday night for quite a while. This Carbone’s sounds interesting. We’ll take a cab there and back.”
    “If you find the pros, Payaso, just have the T-Rex eat them,” Johnny said to much amusement.
    “When do you think we’ll get permission to start on the Pilot Hill mission,” Gus asked, ignoring Johnny.
    “Paul authorized at least a week of satellite surveillance,” Nick answered. “We can’t attack on a quiet basis without complete plans of the house and all information we can see from the surveillance. I want this place more than I want to reduce it to ash. That will take patience.”
    Johnny put a hand on Cala’s. “Have you kept track of Jay’s crew who they did put in jail? When they get free, they will be unpredictable.”
    “Neil claimed they’ll be in custody awaiting trial. He’ll update us if they get free on bail,” Nick answered. “You can rest assured they will stay quiet for a time. We have their names and the addresses they’re staying at. Let me give that some thought. We don’t want to piss off Neil, but those guys in
