contact with Mrs. Kolovos. Once he made contact, he would tell her about our encounter and then everything would be ruined. I hadn’t yet failed in a mission, and I was determined that this wouldn’t be my first.
I hurried over to where someone had parked their newly bought motorbike and jumpstarted the engine. Hopping on, I gunned the machine and entered the busy streets of New York .
Looking at my tracker, I noticed that Kevin’s movements had increased and it looked as though he was heading out of the busiest part of the city.
I veered through traffic and zoomed through red lights in an effort to catch up. The tracker slowed down and then, to my surprise, I noticed that he had entered Central Park .
There was only one reason that he would go there. And that would be to meet a contact. I would have to take him out before the meeting took place. That was the only option. And, as the motorbike would attract a lot of attention in the park, I would have to exchange it for something else.
I tore down Fifth Avenue , slowing down as I reached one of the many entrances into the park. I climbed off the machine and glanced around. Seeing a young man riding a brand new red bicycle, I smiled and waved.
The man stopped beside me and offered a cheeky smile. “What’s up, lady?”
“I need to borrow your bicycle,” I said.
The man frowned. He ran a hand down the side of what might have been his most prized possession. “I don’t know if—”
“I’ll swap it for this motorbike,” I broke in. I held up the keys. “You have five seconds to make your decision.”
The man looked stunned. He quickly reacted and grabbed the keys, smiling. “You’ve got yourself a deal.”
I smiled back and hopped onto the bicycle. I had ridden quite a bit while training for Sexy Spies Incorporated, and I was happy to see that the bicycle was one of the newest models, this years in fact.
Clamping the tracker to the front of the bicycle, I rode into the park. The red dot had now stopped near the lake. I cycled as fast as I could, zipping around mothers with strollers and elderly people walking slowly.
I wanted to avoid any policemen, but I didn’t want to slow down. I knew they patrolled the area and looked out for anyone traveling super fast, but I had a deadline to meet. Besides, while I may not win the gold medal at the Olympic Games, I do pride myself as being fairly athletic .
I grimaced as I saw a policeman up ahead. I turned sharply and tore across the grass, hoping that he wouldn’t see me.
Damn. Hearing a yell behind me, I knew that he must have seen something. I headed for the nearest clump of trees and rode right through them.
The uneven surface jarred me from left to right, but I clamped down hard on the handlebars and didn’t let bicycle get the better of me.
As I emerged from the trees and onto a path, I glanced back. The policeman was nowhere to be seen. Satisfied that I had gained myself some time, I looked at the tracking device.
The red dot is still in the same place. Enlarging the map, I see that he’s standing on Bow Bridge . I grimly smiled. It would be an easy place to dispose of him.
I continued riding, hoping that the contact wouldn’t show up before I got there. As I approached the area, I slowed down and climbed off my bicycle. I now wanted to attract the least attention.
Seeing a clump of bushes, I pushed the bicycle into them, covering it up as best as I could. I then headed toward the bridge. Seeing a couple kissing on the grass, I walked toward them and stole a blue jacket which I quickly put on, along with a New York Yankees cap.
I shoved my hands into the pockets and strolled onto the bridge, stopping when I saw Kevin standing near the other end.
I leaned against the side of the bridge and pretended to gaze down at the calm, blue water. However, I was secretly keeping an eye on him. I had now two choices to make. Do I take him out now or wait until his contact shows up? I was pretty
