HYACINTH

TWENTY-FOUR

We put together a plan to get off the island. We’ve got an hour or two before a sitrep of zero becomes odd, and we make the best of it. Mere calls the front desk to check into the next flight going east. We’re booked on the midday flight to Santiago, Chile, in four days, but if we show up at the counter at the airport and make enough noise and wave enough cash around, we can probably get our flight changed.

Especially if we play up the disgruntled newlywed angle. No one likes to see relationships go sour that quickly.

Mere leaves first, heading out the front door since E was probably the only one watching from the lobby. I linger, mainly to get the body out of the maid’s closet and up to our room. I slip the tracking chip into the pocket of E’s pants, along with everything else I had taken from her.

I keep the phone. I send one more progress report on the way to the airport and then I shove the phone down behind the seat in the back of the cab.

Mere is waiting for me next to the security check-point. She’s wearing a large hat and dark sunglasses, and she’s got a handful of wadded tissue. Her glasses are big enough to hide the fact that she’s been crying, pretty heavily.

“What happened?”

“I had to put on a real show,” she says, offering me a boarding pass. The flight leaves in forty-five minutes.
