She dropped me at the Airport just outside Little Rock, Arkansas. It might seem like over kill but I didn't mind at all. I had a plane ticket to North Carolina where I would be met by a Marshall would become my permanent handler. Lucy was just a transient custodian for me. Since I changed planes in Atlanta, I found time to pick up my zip drive with the information I would need to claim my ill gotten gains.

It took Less than a half hour for the flight, Of course it took over two hours to get from the Atlanta terminal's entrance doors to the Charlotte terminal exit doors. I made it from the passenger luggage pick up to the terminal exit before my new handler found me.

"Eddie Wilson?" the young man in the well cut suit asked.

"That depends on who is asking," I replied.

"I have your picture Mr. Wilson, so let's not play games."

"Wouldn't think of it. Do you have a car or should I rent one?"

"I have a car in the parking lot."

"I hope it doesn't have government plates. You know just in case,"

"It isn't a government car not does it have government plates. You know we have done this a few times."

"I'm only interested in this time," I replied with a serious look.

"Right, so lets not waste time chatting lets get you out of town."

"So where to?" I asked.

"There is a little place her in Charlotte where we stash guys like you till we can move you down the pipeline."

The little place was indeed little. It was a two bedroom condominium with a living room kitchen combination. It looked a lot like what it was, a safe house.
