Vaughn scanned the crowd in the Miami airport. There was the usual complement of TSA agents and cops. No one seemed to be paying them particular attention.

She insisted that Justine and Sabastien go through security first, a full two-and-a-half hours ahead of the scheduled flight. Vaughn and Sedona would go next, an hour and forty-five minutes before the plane took off, and Peter and Lorraine would go last, half an hour after that, in case anything went awry. In that case, Peter and Lorraine would have an opportunity to break off the plan and find an alternate route to Kuwait. Under that scenario, the rest of the mission would fall to them.

Sedona walked beside Vaughn, and Vaughn noted that she seemed perfectly at ease. Vaughn knew she couldn’t be, but she admired the acting job just the same. Neither one of them had said a single personal thing to the other in the two hours they’d been alone together since arriving at Miami International.

“All clear so far,” Vaughn whispered into the coms. The tiny piece of plastic in her ear was almost too small to see. The transmitter on her hip appeared from the outside to be an iPod. Next to her, Sedona bopped to imaginary tunes on an identical iPod, her headphones tuned, instead, to the com frequency Sabastien had set for all of them. They made the decision not to give Sedona a microphone, since that would be difficult to explain if they got stopped.

To facilitate her ability to defend Sedona, Vaughn had Sabastien spoof the identity of a Deputy US Marshal transporting a high-value protectee to witness protection. This enabled her to carry her Glock-40 on her hip and her Walther .380 in an ankle holster. It also made it legal for her to check the rest of the group’s weapons, and resulted in a decreased level of scrutiny for her. In addition, it forced the TSA agents to give her and Sedona a wide berth.

“Ten-four,” Peter answered. “Everything still looks quiet outside security.”

“All is well in the gate area,” Justine reported.

“See you all on board,” Vaughn said, signing off. She lightly grasped Sedona by the elbow and steered them toward a Starbucks. It was a red-eye flight, and she was going to need some help to stay vigilant.
