Alex smiled. “Then the turning worked out. You came home to them.”

Mason shook his head and his eyes saddened with pain. “Nah, it didn’t work out. My wife rejected me when I told her. She told the kids I had died, and she asked that I never see her or them again.”

“I’m so sorry.”

Mason looked away. “I am too. It wasn’t exactly the homecoming I had hoped for. Raymond compelled them to believe I died in combat, and I spent my entire existence as a vampire away from them.”

Alex flinched. “That must have been difficult for you.”

He shrugged. “I loved them enough to let them go. Raymond regrets turning me, but he helped me through the pain.”

Alex could sense his loneliness. She thought back to Daniel’s words of making the best of a bad situation. “I guess I never thought about the negative effects of being turned,” she said in a reflective, solemn tone.

Mason shrugged his shoulders and looked away just as Brandon pointed out the window, and announced to no one in particular, “Marine One.”

Alex craned her neck to look out the tiny porthole. Not too far in the distance she saw the three marine helicopters, two of which were decoys and one, the real McCoy, approaching. She thought back to when she had boarded the plane. A small contingent of Marines was standing guard, obviously waiting to greet the President so that the Air Force soldiers could escort him aboard the airplane. Everything ran with peak efficiency, and that impressed her.

“I best be going,” Mason said just as Matt reappeared looking for his seat.

Saying a quick good–bye to Mason, and allowing Matt access to his seat, Alex stared out the window for any image of the President she could see, but she wasn’t able to see where Marine One had landed. Moments later the announcement came over the intercom. The woman’s voice sounded confident and firm. “Attention on board the aircraft. The President is on board. We are now Air Force One.”

Alex sat straighter in her seat, her head held high, and her lips curled into a satisfied smile. She could get used to this life.
