Time passed real slow.It seemed like forever before she saw the airport.She asked the taxi to drop her off to the arrival gate.She paid the driver and got out of the cab.
Rebecca looked around for a payphone.It was getting cold.Her ankle was beginning to feel stiff.She saw airport security near the gate.They directed her to a payphone.She dialed Danny...silently praying that he would pick up.
"Hello..Danny?, its Rebecca..."
Danny didn't let her finish..."Are you safe, you were not there when I came by in the afternoon.Are you okay?Where are you?"
Pushing back tears, she narrated the whole story to him.Danny was stunned but composed.
"Go home, that is the only place that is safe for you.."
"but, what about you and I cannot go home.I will be putting my family in danger, Danny.Azov will not let you live.He will hound you till he finds you, alive or dead..That way he wins and we can never bring him down."
"Then Rebecca, what do u suggest we do, give up our work or run for our lives so Azov can flourish and millions of innocents die.."
"No Danny, I am not saying that, we need to lay low for a while,we need to live if we are to finish what we have started, maybe go out of the country but not home or anywhere in America...we need to go where no one will ever think we went.I am at the airport.See me there in 30 mins.Take ur passport, cash, some clothes ..don't withdraw from the bank or use the ATM...I am waiting at the Arrival lounge."
Danny was silent at the other end, after a few seconds , he replied, "Ok...I will be there."
She looked around, went to the Airline counter and booked two tickets for Paris.Both of them had an American passport.So, going around Europe would be easy. She would have to go there and then with the help of her friends, plan her next step.She had to do it fast.
Meanwhile, Vladimir was beginning to get scared.Fear that Rebecca had got away was eating him up.His men had searched the length and breadth of the shantytown with no luck.He had thought of all the places Rebecca would go to, the university, her Professor's office, research lab, the police station...
Just then something struck him...he shouted out orders to his men to get his car.He got in ..
."В аэропорт, быстро" (To the airport..fast...")
His huge black off-roader swerved dangerously in the small space.He was on his way.
