CHAPTER 2

The pilot in the glow of the helicopter’s interior bore an uncanny resemblance to Jan Michael Vincent, who’d played a rogue chopper pilot in a television series called Airwolf. It was one of Chelsea’s guilty pleasures and she’d purchased the DVDs and watched them whenever she was home alone and wanted to feel good.

JJ nudged her. “I know,” she whispered. “He looks just like him, doesn’t he?”

Chelsea nodded.

“Ladies, let's get this show on the road,” said the pilot. “I take it the pretty lady is the package everybody’s been looking for?”

“She is,” JJ said with a grin.

The pilot helped both of them on board and into the troop portion of the helicopter. Once he was sure they were belted in, he got them airborne, turned on the stealth mode, and flew low over the terrain. Chelsea felt like if she leaned out of the chopper, she could trail her hand along the tops of the bushes. Once they made the short hop to China, where a private jet was waiting for them, Jimmy radioed back to London. “Dark Angel and package are safe, getting off the chopper and heading to the plane.” He turned back to them. “Safe journey, JJ.”

“Thanks, Jimmy. I appreciate the help.”

Chelsea ran with JJ to the plane and boarded. Once they reached international air space, Chelsea took a long, cleansing breath. “I had no idea you had this kind of equipment at your disposal.”

JJ laughed. “Well, they’re not mine. Both Jimmy and the plane’s owner support my efforts at getting women out of bad situations. They sent the cutest male flight attendant. He’ll have something hot, nourishing, and easy on the stomach.”

“I don’t know how to thank you, JJ. I don’t think I would have made it out alive without your assistance.”

“Oh, I don’t know about that, you looked like you were well on the way to rescuing yourself. I’m just glad I got there when I did and could help out.”

“If you ever need anything, just ask. And I’ll start sending regular contributions to your slush fund that goes towards these kinds of projects.”

“Thanks, Chelsea, but not to worry. I have some rather wealthy clients who keep me well funded. Some of them are happier about that than others, but the money all spends the same.”

They lapsed into silence as they ate, and sometime later Chelsea realized she must have fallen asleep. She woke to sunlight pouring in through the plane’s window with a pillow under her head and one of Baker Street’s cashmere blankets wrapped around her.

“You’re awake. Good. How are you feeling?” JJ asked solicitously.

“I’m alive, and I’m headed for London. I couldn’t ask for more.”

“Look, I know Baker Street isn’t the Savoy…”

“There’s no place I’d rather be, or where I would feel safer.”

JJ grinned. “We’ll sneak you in tonight, but tomorrow evening a lot of people want to see you. You don’t need to play. Just hang out in the lounge.”

“I think I’ll probably sleep for a long time, but then I don’t know that I don’t want to play or at least have some kind of session.
