Eighteen

Lucy had spent an hour in the agency’s warehouse, or, as it was better known, the dungeon. It encompassed the whole floor of the sub-subbasement, with metal shelving reaching up to the tall ceiling. From one room she was able to get everything she needed, as Agent Charles, the man in charge of the floor, followed her, questioning her decisions. Lucy ignored him as she found her black, battle dress uniform, the best in tactical weaponry, electronics, and keys to a new car, plus a few unique items she figured might come in useful. The car’s GPS had made it an easy drive to Daugherty Airport near Long Beach.

Driving up to a chain-link gate, Lucy took out a key-card and passed it across a box suspended on a metal pole. After a subtle beep, the gate slid sideways, and she drove through to a private parking area. Beyond were huge hangars. All but three were closed and dark as she drove to Hangar 8.

There were two men leaning against the fuselage of a small jet aircraft. “Impressive,” Lucy said as she turned off the car’s engine. She reached for the small bag next to her hip and froze—Johnny’s image floated in front of her mind’s eye. His presence physically pushed at her, nearly embracing her in warmth and security. She looked in the back seat at her other bags to make sure he hadn’t somehow slipped inside the car. Lucy rubbed the back of her neck and tried to rid the feeling of him being near. She needed to concentrate on her mission and not on how much she’d like to hold him again.

Opening her door prompted one of the men to come over and greet her. His blue jumpsuit suggested to Lucy that he might be a pilot.

“Agent James?”

“Yes, I’m Lucy.”

Holding out his hand, he said, “I’m Special Agent Adam Sanderson.” Adam motioned toward the other man flashing a white, toothy smile at Lucy. “That’s Special Agent Gerard Summers. We’re your pilots.”

Lucy shook his cool hand. He had a solid grip, but it was his intense stare that caught her off guard. He had soft blue eyes, and they were taking in every aspect of her anatomy. His hair was the same shade of light blonde as Sunny’s. He was shorter than Johnny, but he looked as muscular. “Nice to meet you.” Lucy motioned toward the aircraft. “Pretty plane.”

“Thank you,” Adam opened the car’s back door. “She’s a fully loaded Beechjet 400A.”

“I bet it needs a smooth runway to take off and land, huh?” Lucy asked. “It probably has a fairly small gas tank, too.”

Adam reached in and took out the first black backpack. “She’ll go five hundred miles an hour, so we’ll be in Nassau in about six hours, taking in a little extra time for refueling.”

“Nassau?”

“Yes, ma’am. We can charter a boat from there.”

“We?”

Summers spoke up. “Assistant Director Brockway suggested we stick close to you on your mission.”

Lucy noticed Summers’ smile never wavered.

“I think we’re going to need a bigger plane,” Johnny said.
