The Roman Lee Series "Crimson Rows" promises to be the hottest read for Summer 2017 Look for it next month.




Pulling out his thin laptop from a leather satchel Jaxon entered his password as the cover screen vaporized.  Using his right index finger he tapped on the file icon.  Pressing his thumb on the screen once more the processor took a moment to recognize it.  Seconds later the architecture plans appeared with the coordinates down at the bottom right corner. Quickly looking back and forth from the laptop to the device in his hands he rapidly punched in the location pressing firmly on the green send button.  Jonas Paez was critical to the next phase and his lack of communication was concerning.  Tapping out another message he sent it as a supplement.

Jaxon dressed throwing a sheet over the lifeless form before walking out of the bedroom.  Two tall figures stood outside the sliding glass door of the patio looking out at the Mediterranean.  The only presence of light were burning orange glows of cigarettes being smoked as the early morning sky darkened indicating a pending thunderstorm.  He cracked the door which caused the tightly rolled tobacco sticks to drop instantly extinguishing their smell which Jaxon always found repulsive.

“We have a problem that needs your attention.”

The door opened wider making way for the additional occupants.

“Where?”

“The bedroom, no traces this time.”

It had happened only one other time in Antigua.  He had accidentally killed another woman while having sex in the bathroom.  Long legs had been wrapped around his waist while he sought a position against the wall of the shower.  Slipping from his grasp she fell at an awkward angle  snapping her neck.  After a report of what looked like a body was removed from his bungalow he had been followed to the airport where his private jet was stopped on the tarmac boarded by the local authorities.  A thick band of United States currency persuaded them to discontinue their investigation into the allegation.

He could ill afford any mistakes now.
