Chapter Thirteen

The plane was luxurious. There were soft leather seats, a table and six chairs where normally you’d see rows of seating, and a galley to make any cook envious. Darin was told when they came onboard to help themselves. Though the FBI undoubtedly wanted the scam to succeed they didn’t provide a steward. Still, Peavy had jumped at the chance to let them use the plane. “This will make you look more legit when you fly into Hobby as the Farleys,” he’d said. When Darin asked about the flight plan Peavy had told him not to worry, there would be a fake one stating the plane flew in from Dallas.

They were set.

They were also nervous.

Gina looked more gorgeous than ever in pressed jeans, a red T-shirt, and boots. Her matching jean jacket hung on a vacant seat. “What did you tell Captain Wells?”

“Told him I had a family emergency and would call in when I could. The team will back the lie. One or the other will hear from me from time to time with an update on my sis. The story is she was in a car accident and is home recuperating.”

“Plausible. As long as no one puts the two of us together.”

“They won’t.”

“You sound confident. What if he calls?”

“I told him I would be busy with my sister. If this isn’t over by next week I’ll call him with a reasonable excuse.”

“The bases are covered.”

Darin’s prepaid cell phone rang. Did they have a problem already? If not, who was calling?

“It’s Leya, Darin. I have an update—one I wish I didn’t have if you want to know the truth. I just found out my cousin, Jose, has been dealing drugs for a guy we think is on Chavizi’s payroll. They know a big buyer is on his way into town. Jose is nothing but a peon in the organization, but he overheard a conversation you might like. The big boss is interested. Thought you might want to know.”

“I do. Thanks.”

“Should I pick up Jose and slap his butt in jail? It’s what he deserves. I’ve told him a million times not to get involved in drugs.”

“Hang loose. We don’t want Chavizi, Ramiro, or anyone in either organization to suspect anything.”

“Good luck.”

He closed the cell, gave Gina the information. “Sounds as if Chavizi is looking forward to meeting us. Makes me wonder about his competition.”

Gina looked way too enticing sitting next to him. Involuntarily, he leaned closer. Inhaled. Her scent was different. Bolder. Brasher. He smiled inwardly. She wasn’t Gina now. She was Meg Farley and Meg used in-your-face perfume. He preferred the subtler wildflower, outdoor scent of Gina Carlson. But hey, he wasn’t going to complain. She looked up. Her lips parted. He dipped his head and kissed her. A spark of electricity shot through him. The woman was dynamite.

And he was way out of his depth.

“What are you doing, Callahan?” she gasped.

“Practicing. We have to be believable as husband and wife, don’t we?” It was the best he could come up with.
