Chapter 42

It was sunset when the jet touched down on the runway at the Santorini Airport.

Elaine had been able to see the island from a distance as they approached. From the west, it looked like a massive tree stump that had been thrust up out of the water by Mother Nature, with a flat top and rugged cliffs along the coastline that sloped in a J shape down to the sea.

As they moved closer to the land mass and flew over it, however, she could see that her initial impression of the island’s geography was an illusion. It was not round but crescent-shaped. And although the “top” of the tree stump was flat, the green plain slanted gently downwards to the eastern side until the land smoothly melded into the sea.

The jet made a gentle landing and Elaine, Spyro and Costa descended the stairs of the aircraft. They were met by a lone immigration and customs officer who barely glanced at their documents. The man was obviously a close friend of Spyro’s and exchanged a few casual words in Greek. The officer stamped Elaine’s “Patricia Carter” passport and handed it back to her, smiling. In a thick accent, he said, “Welcome to Greece, Ms. Carter.”

Within a few short minutes, the three of them were riding in a chauffeured limo that wound through a scrub-covered hillside. Elaine thought the terrain looked a bit like Croatia’s, at least the area around Dubrovnik, where Giorgio Cattoretti now made his home.

When the sleek black vehicle pulled through the gate and she saw the beautiful white-washed “cave villa,” she oohed and ahhed appropriately, though it was a challenge. During the last few minutes Elaine had grown quite anxious. She didn’t like this wild card of having to win over Alexander—she had not prepared for it and really had no idea what the boy was like. It had never occurred to Elaine that Spyro would let the eight year-old boy have so much say in the hiring decision, and so she had not grilled Kathy much about him. She really had no idea what Alexander was like or how she might charm him.

She was even more worried about her “first” meeting with Spyro’s wife, Kathy. She could already see that Spyro Leandrou was a perceptive man, and she hoped her mother was a competent enough actor to make it appear that they did not know each other, let alone were actually mother and daughter, and that a close visual inspection would not reveal too much similarity.
