Another airport. Busy Heathrow. Another customs check. Another car rental—a small SUV. The four piled into the vehicle. Stone drove. And this time they pulled over off the airport property to get their weapons from the luggage.

Stone steered along the narrow streets with Dane navigating in the passenger seat via cell phone map. Clouds were thick but only held the threat of rain. The buildings they passed as they entered the neighborhood were either made of brick or stone and wore weathered patina.

“I could go for some shepherd’s pie while we’re here,” McConn said.

“No time,” Dane said.

Stone pulled over.

“Wait here,” Dane said. He started to get out.

“You’ll need me,” Nina said. She joined Dane on the sidewalk. They entered the flower shop.

“Don’t like my pals?” Dane said.

“She’ll feel better with a woman around.”

The clerk behind the counter smiled.

“Help you, sir?”

The place was wall-to-wall flowers, an explosion of colors and scents.

Dane said, “Crash Dive.”

The clerk said, “We’ve been expecting you,” as he pressed a button under the counter. No buzzer sounded but a door labeled Private popped open on a hydraulic hinge.

“Up the stairs and down the hall,” the clerk said.

“Does she know about her father?” Dane said.

“Yes.”

“Any word on his condition?”

“None,” the clerk said, with a slight shake of his head. “No trouble here, either.”

“Okay.”

Dane pushed the door open. Nina drew her Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and held it close to her leg.

A light bulb hung from the ceiling and lit the narrow hallway. A set of stairs led to a hallway, and at the end was a door with a pool of light spilling from underneath.

Nina stopped against the wall as Dane continued. He knocked on the door.

A bald man in a dark suit answered. He held a gun very loosely, examined Dane. “Who’s the woman?” he said.

“She’s with me.”

“Put away the piece, chrome dome,” Nina said.

The bald man complied and let Dane into the room. He held the door for Nina.

A young woman rushed at them from a corner couch.

“What happened to my father?”

She was shorter than she looked in the picture; her dark hair had blonde highlights. Her eyes burned with concern.

“He was alive when we left,” Dane said. “I don’t know anything more. Neither did the guy downstairs.”

“Nobody knows nothing!” Hana Kader said.

“Anything,” Nina said.

“Who are you two anyway?”

Dane looked at Hana. Her small lips were pressed tightly together, her eyes locked on Nina, breathing steadily. Ready for a fight.

“Hana, look at me.”

The girl snapped her attention to Dane. “What?” She couldn’t have been more than 25 but seemed mad enough to wrestle a tiger. Her brown eyes stood out the most to him. He had to keep this young woman alive.

Steady. Stay focused.

“Your father said you have information about Graypoole.”

“Yeah, so?”

“I need those files.”

“They aren’t here.”

“Will you take us to them?”

“They’re at my Swiss bank.”

Dane said, “Then you’re coming with us.”

“What about the people who shot my father?”

Dane checked his watch. “Should be here any time.”

“Are you serious?”

“I’m surprised they didn’t get here first, considering one of your father’s men betrayed him.
