Minutes later, the driver pulled in front of the Lutsk Railway Station. Beautifully built, the long building with its many arched windows and entryways glowed a creamy yellow under the illumination of strategically placed lights. A dome with a towering lightning rod sat atop the roof as though watching over the dozens of people walking in and out.

Duke fished a one hundred Ukrain hryvnia bill from his wallet and passed it to the driver. He didn’t wait for the change.

“You paid that man eight times what the fare was,” Mila said once they’d exited the cab.

“Yep.” He grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs to the station. “If anyone comes looking for us, I want our trip here to be easy to find. That cabbie won’t be shy about telling others of the big American idiot who didn’t know where he was going and left a great tip tonight.”

“You want us to be found?”

He held open one of the building’s big glass-paneled doors.

“No. I want people to think we went to the railway station, bought tickets to where you live, and then we left town on the train to get there. Exactly the story your father and Laramie are telling Mazure.”

“Do you think we’re being followed?”

“I don’t think so. Not right now. I’m guessing Mazure will check up on us though. I don’t know what his angle is, if he has one at all. But if your dad doesn’t completely trust the man after working with him for a time, then there’s no way in hell I’m going to. Yure strikes me as a smart man.”

“He is. Very.”

It was still early evening, and several people sat on long wood benches or stood outside near the platform, waiting. The place smelled of cigarette smoke and oil, as well as the mouthwatering aroma of fresh coffee from a tiny café in the far corner of the building.

Her stomach growled. They hadn’t eaten since lunch. Who knew when they’d have time to catch a bite before taking off again.

“Sandwich?” She gestured to the coffee shop.

“Not yet. We’ll eat after a bit.”

They stood in line behind a woman holding an infant on her hip at the ticket window. When it was their turn, Duke once again pulled his wallet from his pocket.

“Where to?” he asked Mila in terribly broken Ukrainian.

Apparently, they were acting for the benefit of the woman selling tickets. Another link to their feigned trip away from Lutsk.

“Smila.”

“Smila,” he repeated to the woman behind the counter, horribly mispronouncing the word. Just as he had with the cab driver, Duke handed the cashier a one hundred hryvnia bill. “Two postcards, please.”

The woman, who couldn’t have been much older than Mila, giggled.

“Two tickets,” Mila corrected, nearly rolling her eyes. “He wants two tickets for the next train to Smila.”

The clerk batted her overly mascaraed eyelashes. With ruby-red lips, she offered Duke a flirty smile as she plucked the money from his hand. She typed on a keyboard just beneath the counter and looked back, shamelessly raking her gaze over his body.
