that.”
“What? What do you mean he talked about that?
“When I met with him. He mentioned how you used your sexuality to get him interested in helping your sister.”
“Really?! I wasn’t aware of that. You never mentioned it before,” stated a very surprised Liliana.
“I didn’t think I needed to… it never came up. Look, he’s a two-bit sleaze ball. I don’t care what you had to do to get the money from him. I know what your motivations were. So yes, I agree.
“Agree? Wait, I’m getting more confused by the minute,” muttered a puzzled Liliana.
“I agree that you should speak to Barchano, but only on the phone, not in person, too dangerous.”
“Okay Garrett, and thank you for indulging me. I told you I would have some good ideas to help in our plans.”
“Just remember, Barchano is a butcher, and he’ll do anything to hurt anyone if he thinks you’re trying to fool him. We have to stay on track and create a strong front that will not be questioned, agreed?”
“Agreed.”
“Now, let’s get you over to Cherise, and create a new you.”
“I’m all yours, but of course you already know that,” said Liliana with a cute smile.
Garrett and Liliana spend the next few hours with Cherise, preparing Liliana’s new physical appearance and fitting her with a wardrobe that shows off Liliana’s womanly athletic build, but very different than her normal wear. After finishing off the nose prosthesis, Liliana became physically exhausted and wanted to return to the cottage to get the rest she so needed, knowing what she had to face in the days to come. Garrett and Liliana became almost catatonic during the drive back, both immersed in thought, readying themselves for something they were both meant to do… both meant to accomplish together.
The next day came very quickly and Liliana showered and dressed before Garrett woke up. So many thoughts were streaming through her head… how was she supposed to keep Garrett from finding out who her father is while she masquerades as an assistant to a drug lord? And her family… when will she see them again? Will they be safe from harm while she tends to her new life? Too many problems to worry about, she thought… total and complete focus is what she needed the most now.
“Hey, I woke up and found you missing… I thought that maybe you had second thoughts about our new venture,” stated Garrett with strong concern.
“Not in the least. I just wanted to get a quick start on the day is all.”
“That’s a good thing because I just received word that Stagnoli needs to hear from me. So it’s best that I get to the office to begin the process.”
“Alright, it should only take me a couple minutes to be ready, but I’m not putting on that ridiculous fake nose you had done up for me. I look like a drag queen or something, not gonna happen.”
After Garrett stops laughing, he gets quiet and looks Liliana squarely in the eye… “Remember what I said about listening to me, what we created for you was a new identity and you need to adhere to the plan as close as possible at all times.”
“Even on this island?”
“Yes, even on this island. You never know when Stagnoli may have someone around to keep tabs… it could be anyone, the local baker, house boy or bar tender. If there’s one thing I learned about him is that he’s very cagey and pays attention to detail. If you do everything I tell you, especially when dealing with Barchano, then there should be no problems.”
“I still don’t understand why we couldn’t do everything from your private island Garrett.”
“Presence, we have to establish a presence. Additionally, I have a couple of close associates opening an office in Newark, near Barchano… they’re setting up work space as we speak.”
“Isn’t that dangerous Garrett? I mean what if they get the idea that we’re a fake organization; wouldn’t that put your men in danger?”
“Don’t worry about my men, they know how to
