Meanwhile, safe in the confines of the taxi, Rebecca took in a deep breath.She leaned against the seat and putting her head back she closed her eyes. For a moment, her mind went blank.It was as if nothing had happened and she was back home with her family sitting around the dinner table smiling and having a good time with her parents.She felt warm and comforted.She could feel the aroma of hot chocolate waft through the kitchen and her father decorating the tree...here away from home, she just felt cold, felt emotionless.
"Are you okay?"
"Miss, are u okay?"....Rebecca opened her eyes.It was the cabbie.
"Yes, I am fine, just had a long day."
Looking out of the window, she saw the city was rushing by.It was almost 6 o' clock and outside it was dark.She prayed that she could get to the airport unnoticed. Taking out a kerchief from her purse, she wiped her face clean, tied her hair back in a tight ponytail and sprayed on her favourite cologne.It made her feel better.She hoped it would hide all that had transpired with her since morning and would help her blend in the crowd.
"You are American, aren't u?, the cabbie asked...Rebecca did her best to smile..."Going back?"
Rebecca realised she had no luggage with her, so she said she came to pick up her friend from the airport.The airport was still 15 minutes away.She began to plan in her head what she would tell Danny.She had to hatch her escape plan and that included him.Sooner or later Vladimir would catch up with him too.If her research papers were found, Danny would automatically be next on Vladimir's hit list.She could not let that happen.
A plan was beginning to take shape in her mind and she was sure she could convince him to escape......
