Cassandra and Geoffrey got off the QM2 at Southampton and boarded a private jet for Nairobi, Kenya.

“You look stressed,” Geoffrey said to her.

“I am. Have you heard anything about Prince Richard’s efforts with the Kenyans?”

“Nothing yet,” said Geoffrey as he sipped a glass of Scotch. “Don’t worry. He said he would talk to them so he’ll talk to them.”

“There is a lot riding on that talk. I sometimes get the impression that you are taking all of this a little too flippantly.”

“Cassandra, I know very well what is at stake but learned long ago that you cannot let yourself get too close to things. Otherwise, you’ll break.”

Cassandra stared at him until he had given her his full attention. “In my experience the only place to see things clearly is close to them. Detachment is often an excuse to abdicate moral responsibility and a convenient shelter to hide cowardice.”

“Is that supposed to be directed at me?”

“If the shoe fits. Do you mind if I plug my laptop in and send a few messages? I presume you have a secure link on this plane.”

“Of course,” he said. “It’s in the back.”

“Thank you,” she said, getting up and retrieving her bag. In the rear of the plane, she hooked into their secure data stream after placing an FC security dongle between them. Cassandra didn’t think the Brits would try to download the contents of her laptop or install a backdoor, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Then she carefully composed a message to her deputy back in Colombia. She ordered him to give every bit of intelligence support he could to the trapped Edens. To hold nothing back, even if they didn’t have a secure link in Ethiopia.

After sending the email, she closed her laptop. As she turned, she caught Geoffrey staring at her.

Cassandra could have sworn he looked sad.
