Chapter 12

The plane landed, and I stretched to get the stiff ache out of my limbs. Kylee did the same from the couch near the back. Levi did an upward facing dog followed by a downward facing dog. It was the damnedest thing to see a dog doing yoga, but there it was.

I headed back to the bathroom to freshen up a little. The washroom was a little bigger than mine at Tom’s house. The plane itself amazed me with its luxury. Of course, I didn’t know any different.

When I came out, Kylee took her turn.

She came out a few minutes later and opened one of the duffel bags. From within the canvas, she pulled out an oversized tote and dropped some weapons inside before shifting it to her shoulder. She stood and glanced around the interior as we slowed to a full stop.

“This is the way to travel,” she said and smiled when the cockpit door opened, and Josh stepped out.

He looked at the sheet in his hands. “I am going to get some rest before our next jaunt. The plane will be here in this hangar for whenever you are ready.” He looked at Kylee. “You have the number to contact me if the plans are changing, correct?”

“Yes. I do. I don’t know how long this will take, but we will let you know when we are on our way back,” Kylee said.

Josh folded the paper and slipped it in his shirt pocket before he undid the door and unfolded the stairs. He stepped aside and smiled as we passed by.

Just outside the hangar sat a town car, and Kylee led me to it and opened the door for me. I slid inside and scooted over so she could get in.

“Freedom Tower, please,” Kylee said, looking at the coordinates on her phone. She glanced at me and sighed.

Just from her expression, I knew this wasn’t going to be easy. I opened my mouth, but she shook her head and sent a wary glance at the driver. I got her meaning immediately. No talking about the mission in front of strangers. The drive from the hangar at LaGuardia took a little better than a half hour.

I climbed out of the car, awed by the tall buildings that strained my neck when I tried to see the tops. Glass and metal monsters surrounded us, and I didn’t know where to look. It was as magnificent as it was scary.

Kylee smiled as she caught me staring. “Never been to a city before?”

“I’ve been to Augusta,” I said louder than I anticipated. The massive din of strangers’ thoughts assaulted me all at once. I focused on Kylee, and the rest of the world faded into the background.

She snorted a laugh. “Honey, that’s not a city. This is a city.” She waved her hand at the hustle and bustle around us. “And this is calm compared to midtown.”

I scanned the crowds. It was more people in one place than I had ever seen before.
