“Wanda?” Kelvin’s voice brought her back. “Sendyour location. I'll cab over, or you can cto me- whatever works for you!”
While chatting, she kept the line open and flicked through her phone, sharing her live location with Wanda’s cell.
“Amber!”

They zoomed off to the airport in the flashy red Porsche.
At the exit of Ol’ Mare International Airport.

“Kelvin!”
Wanda burst t out of the Porsche before it had fully stopped, her face alight with happiness. “Got our tickets? When's our flight? Oh! What happened to you? That's a nasty bump on your forehead. Did Marcus do that? That Ledger is the worst!”
“I'm okay.” Kelvin tensed up at the sight of Wanda, his hand instinctively going to the bump on his forehead, the shadow of guilt passing quickly from his eyes.
With a forced cheerfulness, he said, “It’s too late for a flight to Zabaleta tonight. Let’s catch the high-speed train instead!”
He shot a wary glance at the Porsche, then, with a sense of urgency, took Wanda’s hand and led her toward the line of taxis waiting outside the airport.
“Wait.”
The two stood there when the driver’s side door of the Porsche swung open smoothly. Alexander strode up quickly, his gaze locked on Kelvin’s eyes.

“Con, out with it. How much did Marcus pay you off? Or is it...you’ve been threatened?”
