Chapter 40

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

AFTER A FEW minutes, Rex thought he had the answer, but he needed to know that he had Margot’s buy-in. She’d had enough trauma tonight that her acquiescence to his demand that she does what he tells her might have been on the spur of the moment and not what she really felt.

“Margot, what do you want to do now? What would you do if you became aware of all this, but I wasn’t here to help you?”

“Knowing what I know now, I would’ve been in a panic. Maybe I would’ve phoned, no couldn’t do that… I don’t know Rowan. I really don’t know. I guess I would’ve been sitting there in a corner crying my eyes out. Maybe I’d follow through with my plan and go to the convent where my brother arranged for me to stay during my pregnancy and the birth. But… now that I know what’s going on, that might just put those people in danger.”

Rex nodded.

“Rowan, what can I do?”

Now he was convinced she was sincere. “How about we get you out of this country and to another safe place instead?”

“That seems to be the only logical option. But how can I do that? I can’t contact my brother for help. What…” she paused and looked at Rex, and it was clear she had just realized something important. “Did I hear correctly? You used the word ‘we’ when you suggested to get me out of the country?”

Rex grinned and nodded.

“You can do that, too?”

Rex scoffed. “Of course, I can.” He winked.

“How… okay scratch that. Not important to know for now. But you must have other responsibilities. Why? You barely know me. I can’t ask you to do this for me. I’ll just have to take my chances.”

Rex heaved an exasperated sigh. “Woman, try to get this through your head. If I didn’t want to help, I wouldn’t be here.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to tell me how you can do all this?”

“I’m sure.”

“What do you want me to do?” she asked. “While you make the plans, I mean? Should I go to a bank and withdraw some money tomorrow? Do I need cash?”

“You don’t need anything. I’ll take care of it,” Rex answered. “Just stay put while I get things started. Right now I want you to pack a small bag with your absolute necessities, with the emphasis on absolute necessities. Nothing else. Whatever you need we will get you when we get there.”

“Where is there?”

Rex smiled.

Margot knew that look by now and answered her own question, “Not important to know for now?”

“Yep, you’ve got it.”

“Rowan, I insist on paying. I have the money to arrange everything, just not the skill.”

“Margot, stop! We don’t have time for that now. We’ll sort out the money later. Go pack your stuff and get ready to leave, and wait for me to come and get you. I’m going to take Digger and scout our options for getting you off the yacht. I’ll be back soon.
