I peered out at the skyline, taking in the cityscape of Melbourne emerging through the dense rain clouds. The towering skyscrapers pierced the misty shroud, their silhouettes softened by the steady drizzle. The Yarra River wound its way through the city, its surface rippling under the weight of the downpour.

As we descended lower, the streets below glistened with rain, traffic moving steadily despite the wet conditions. Meanwhile, I held myself tightly, refusing to tap my foot. Three more minutes and we’d be on the tarmac of the small private airstrip. Three more minutes and we’d be heading north out of the city, each kilometre we travelled taking me closer to Valeria and Ethan.

The rain-slicked windows distorted the view, giving the city an almost surreal quality, but even through the dreariness, the plane descended smoothly. I gripped the armrests, barely listening to the conversation between Tarka and Liam. All I needed was to be off the plane and in the car.

Tarka’s “No one’s left the site” grabbed my attention. With his gaze on me, he offered an up-nod as I managed a relieved smile.

There were seventy kilometres between me and my girl, and with eyes in the sky, Tarka remained confident that was still the case. Having that confirmation helped the final couple of minutes pass by.

It helped to not think about the unknown. There’d been no contact from Maya. No threats or ransom notes. No demands.

One thing we were all now certain of was that Maya was responsible. That knowledge should have had me calling Durrant immediately, yet I hadn’t. Tarka and I had a plan. Durrant coming in now, getting the SIA involved, would hinder that. Their priority would undoubtedly be capturing Maya or possibly making a second attempt at wiping her off the face of the earth.

Not a chance I’d put Valeria or Ethan at risk like that.

As soon as the wheels were down, we were up and grabbing our gear, ready to dive out of the plane and jump into the waiting cars.

Tarka sidled up to me, his voice taking on a friendly lilt. “You know, when all this is over, there’s always room for you and whoever you trust on the team.”

I angled a glance his way.

“It has its perks, working in security.”

A small smile pulled at my lips. “It does appear lucrative.” I arched my brow. “I always figured you’d find your feet when you jumped ship.”

“Damn straight.” He chuckled, his large hand clamping on my shoulder and squeezing lightly. My gut clenched at the gesture, as it reminded me of Ethan. “But in all seriousness, think about it.”

I studied his expression as the engines powered down. “I’ll think about it.” I just didn’t know how I felt about the possibility of leaving the SICB. Just the thought of the break in my routine, not having so much to focus on that would keep me distracted, put me on the cusp of a cold sweat breaking out.

The single cabin crew aboard the plane opened the door, and the stairs descended.
