At that moment, the black Mercedes that was carrying Dominick Farha pulled into a dark airfield, somewhere in the south-west area of the city. Looking out of the window, Dominick saw a sleek, familiar private jet parked on the end of the runway, facing the tarmac stretch, ready to go. The car moved over the grass and came to a halt on the runway beside the 'plane. Faris nodded, and the pair of them stepped out. As soon as they were outside the vehicle and shut the doors, the car did a 180 and left the field, moving back onto the road and off into the night. The field was completely empty, save for the two men and the shadow of the pilot in the cockpit of the small plane.

It was time to get into the air.

The steps to the jet were unfolded. The two men walked up them briskly and boarded the aircraft. Inside the jet, Dominick was surprised. There were stacks and stacks of bricks of cocaine piled neatly at the back, tightly bound and keyed. He guessed around four or five million dollars-worth. He couldn’t take his eyes off them, as Faris withdrew the steps and pulled the door to the jet tight shut, locking it. It had been a while since he’d been around so much cargo. ‘Like I said, he had business to attend to,’ said Faris, as he moved into the cabin, noticing Dominick’s reaction to the cocaine. ‘You were just the cherry on top.’

Dominick swallowed and turned, taking a seat in the cabin directly opposite Faris. The engine to the jet started to whine, as they prepared for take-off. Dominick checked his watch. 8:20 pm.

Three hundred and sixty five days of waiting.

And finally, he was getting out of here.
