Danni and I slept late the following morning. A huge storm had moved in while we’d been asleep and rain lashed against the bedroom window. It was Friday and we’d planned another mission for that night. I quickly checked the forecast on my smartphone while Danni continued to sleep. The cold front was expected to produce storms until late the next day so I decided to scrub the mission. After sending a text to everyone concerned, I was just settling back into bed when my phone rang. It was Teixeira and I decided against my better judgement to accept the call. He informed me that he was on his way to the hotel and had something important to show me. Cursing quietly to myself, I told him to meet me in the bar in twenty minutes. I grabbed a quick shower and greeted him with my hair still wet.
