Alex, however, got a rush of emotion himself when he went into his bedroom, and around to his bathroom, and saw Kari, with Jordan sitting on the edge of the tub, cleaning his bruises. It was all she could do on this plane, Alex knew, but at least she was doing something. He never dreamed he’d want to have children again after the fiasco he had with the two he had fathered, but he would love for Kari to be the mother of any child of his. She knew how it was done.

He leaned against the doorjamb and folded his arms. Jordan looked at him and smiled. “Thanks for rescuing us,” he said.

Alex smiled too. “I had to,” he said, “before your mother took control.”

Jordan laughed. Even Kari managed to smile. “Whatever, Alex!” she said.

“A doctor has been contacted. He’ll meet the plane in North Carolina.”

Kari nodded. “Thank you,” she said.

“Although I don’t need a doctor,” said Jordan.

“You know that, and I know that. But your mother doesn’t know that. And, as you know, your mother is never wrong.”

“Please don’t tell her that, Mister D,” Jordan insisted, and Kari laughed.

Alex smiled, too.

“Since a doctor is going to look after me soon,” Jordan asked his mother, “can I be relieved of your exam?”

“Boy, go on,” Kari said and allowed him to get up. “But if you start getting a bad headache, don’t come running to me!”

“I won’t,” Jordan said with a smile and was about to hurry out of that bathroom. But then he looked at his mother, and his smile was gone. “But for real, Ma,” he said, “they didn’t hurt you or anything? They didn’t . . .”

Jordan couldn’t finish his sentence, and Alex stared at Kari too.

Kari knew what Jordan meant, and she exhaled. “Physically? No,” she said to her son. “They didn’t lay a hand on me like that. But they don’t always go for the physical. People like that want to break you down mentally. That’s the victory for them. But you can’t let them have that victory. Not ever. You can’t ever let them break you down.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Jordan said with all sincerity, and then left out of the bathroom.

Alex smiled. “I see they lost that battle with you,” he said.

“Damn right they did,” Kari said as she turned on the bath water. And she frowned. “They had to,” she added.

Alex walked over to her, and he turned her to him. He placed his hands on either side of her small shoulders. “Good,” he said. “And you were right what you said to Jordan. Never let those bastards win.”

Kari nodded. She and Alex had that same kind of rough mentality. But what was unspoken was the fact that they couldn’t do anything about it. Whatever way Alex got them out, either through bribes or coercion, they had to be grateful just to be out. All those blacks they saw in those holding cells weren’t so fortunate at all. Kari knew that.

And when Alex went in to give her a passionate kiss on her lips, she turned away from him.
