Within thirty minutes, the four of us were in a motel room in a town that didn’t even have a traffic light. Cutter went out to lose the car, and we changed into casual clothes before sitting down to eat. I kept a clock ticking away the minutes in my head. They should be almost to the storage unit by this time. They should have everything loaded and swapped by this time. The first group with Peyton and Sarah should be on the road by this time, and so on. I finished my food before Cutter returned and while he ate, I paced, phone in one hand, bottle of juice in the other. When my phone rang, I startled and squeezed my juice bottle, nearly spraying orange juice all over myself. Kane laughed at me as I set the bottle down and wiped my hand before I answered the phone.

“They’re on the road and all is good. I’m on my way back. Where are you?” I gave him the address and he said “I should be there in about an hour and a half. So, what the fuck was that earlier?”

“The mansion blew up. Rico did it, we think. He swam off away from us. He didn’t know any of the plans other than we weren’t going to kill the ones we were told to kill. Seems he had different orders.”

“I told Z not to turn on the news, just in case. I’m glad I did.”

“Why, Gideon?” I asked.

“Sarah was chattering away and said that her father was at home tonight. He had to go to some meeting earlier yesterday and wasn’t supposed to leave for Geneva until later this morning.”

“Oh, fuck,” I breathed. Everyone in the room sat up and looked my way. I shook my head to them and held up a finger to let them know I’d tell them in a bit. “Who else was there? Anyone you know of?”

“Senator Hansen stayed over as they were going to fly out together. Sarah was saying how happy she was they weren’t going to be there around Handsy. I hope Z listens and doesn’t turn on that radio or they’re going to have a hysterical teenager on their hands.”

“Yeah, Peyton can tell her once she’s at the compound and safe. Thanks, Gideon. Hurry if you can, I’ve got a feeling Rico isn’t done.”

“Understood,” Gideon said and disconnected the call.

I turned to the room and sighed. “Vice President Wilson and Senator Hansen were at the mansion when it blew up. They were supposed to fly out to Geneva later this morning. Someone turn on the news on the television so we can see what’s being said?”

Kit rubbed a hand over her face. “Poor Sarah. This is going to fuck with her.”

“Yeah, it will, but she’s got Peyton and us,” Cutter replied.

Kane reached for the remote and turned on the TV to CNN. A line of fire trucks were on the bridge to the island, police cars interspersed, while helicopters flew overhead to get footage.
