Chapter 10

Cooper

When the taxi pulls up in the parking lot beside me, I

wait just a second, watching my wife and her sister walk

away.

I haven’t even left her and already I’m wishing that

duty didn’t call so strongly these days.

I can’t believe that I’d actually told my wife about the

unlimited credit card. It was always supposed to be a last

resort.

The private airstrip is nearby and it only takes a few

minutes outside the city by taxi with someone who knows

all the back roads.

As I pay the man, the pilot waves at me in greeting, but

he doesn’t look familiar.

To take attention away from the gun I need to draw out

of the bag, I put it down, acting like I can’t get it adjusted properly.

Upon closer inspection, none of the men around me are

acquaintances, which is unusual because I’d been with the

company for a really long time and should have at least

recognized them, even if I didn’t know their names.

One of the mechanics holds out his arms to take my

bags from me, but I wave him off.

It’s was only going to be me and the pilot on this helicopter so that it would be a quicker trip, and we could

stay under the radar.

“Hi, I’m James, your pilot for this trip.” He holds out

his hand.

I ignore it and simply dip my head in acknowledgement

of his introduction. I walk around to the other side, and as I open the door to climb in, I can see the confused looks on

the mechanic’s faces.

James hops in and starts flipping switches.

“Have you ever flown before?” he shouts above the

motor.

“A few times. Enough that you don’t have to worry

about me.” I smile at the thought of secrets known only to

mostly dead men.

I buckle up and place the backpack on the floor with

my leg through the strap so if I have to bail out, it can go

with me. The duffle I have on my lap covers the gun

pointed at James.

He makes small talk as he goes through his preflight

rituals.

I mostly make non-committal noises, waiting until

we’re in the air to see what his game plan is.

A few thumbs-up later, all the mechanics back up and

we’re lifted off the ground.

The navigation system is right there in plain sight, and

the direction that we’re heading starts out toward the west.

When we reach flight altitude, he starts to shift slightly

southwest as I watch him slyly adjust the controls little by little.

I wait for my moment, about twenty minutes into the

flight, when we’re past any cities or urban areas, in case

this goes fubar and we crash.

“So, James, where exactly are you taking me? I know

we’re not going to Salt Lake if we’re flying in this

direction.”

James’ face looks a little pale as he realizes I might not

be just a pretty suit sitting next to him.

“I was given different instructions just thirty minutes

before you arrived.” He flicks the auto pilot on and reaches

into his jacket. “They said to show you this if there were

any questions.”

He holds out his phone with a picture of my kids and

Linc, out in a pasture.
