. . .

The first thing Chey did was to pull her phone out, apparently prepared to call Sander herself.

“You can't get a signal here,” Leander said at the same time as Nathaniel and Wynn.

Chey didn't hesitate. She pushed the phone back into her pocket, face drawn with worry, and stepped across the living area to use the same phone as Leander. Plucking up the handset, she put it to her ear after dialing a number.

“Urmas? It's Chey. I need you to raise Sander on the phone. Or however you have to. Him or Mattias. If you can't, or don't have access, then call in one of the Generals. Also, I want you to lean on the military and find out where Ahsan Afshar's private jet is right now. I don't have time to explain, just do it, please.”

Leander listened to Chey give her orders, secretly impressed with her reaction to the news. That was her husband and brother in law up in Ahsan's plane, lives at risk, and she handled herself with calculated calm that he'd watched grow in her time as queen. She was learning quickly how to tackle even the most difficult problems and use the connections available to her.

Which, he had to admit, were a lot stronger than his own in this particular situation.

“No, I'll call you back in fifteen minutes. Time is of the utmost importance here, so put this as priority one,” Chey said, then ended the call. As thorough as she'd been, and in control, her hands shook when she set the receiver back into the cradle.

“How long do you think it'll take to know anything?” Wynn asked Chey.

“They'll look into it immediately, I'm sure.” Chey wrung her hands together and looked from Wynn to Leander. “I wish you would have told me sooner.”

“I didn't want to panic anyone and besides that, it's very possible that everything is fine and they just hit a blackout point. I didn't want to say anything until I knew more,” he said. And, he admitted to himself, he'd wanted to avoid harder questions from Chey. Ones difficult to dismiss and ignore when it was only the two of them on a plane. The devil on his shoulder insisted that if he had trusted her with the information, then perhaps she would have already been in touch with Urmas and the Latvala military, and they might have an answer to what happened to Ahsan's jet.

Leander rubbed his jaw, too restless to make himself comfortable on a couch. The women also remained standing, agitated and probably as restless as he. “How will it happen?” he finally asked his father. The death. He wanted to know just how painful it would be and how it would progress...just in case.

Nathaniel sank down into a chair, sitting on the edge while he twisted the wedding ring he still wore around and around his ring finger. Left a long time ago by Leander's mother over the very same things that drove father and son apart, Nathaniel chose to cling to the past.
