I feel Vincent’s hand reach the small of my back, gaining my attention as I look up at him to find his eyes scanning our surroundings.

What has gotten him so paranoid?! I wonder what was in that damn envelope…

Seconds later when the men finish up, he hurries me out and into the car, as both men slam the doors and climb in the front before starting to drive off in to the night–wasting no time at all.

I follow Vincent up the steps of the jet, as the staff onboard make a move to fix things in preparation for us flying.

I immediately find a recliner seat and sink down into it, chewing my lip in thought as my body aches against the leather fabric.
