“I’m confused.” It was Hannah this time. “Were they fleeing in a helicopter or on foot?”“Both,” Andrew clarified, “though we didn’t know for sure at the time. I thought it was unusual that a helicopter would be taking off during an emergency situation like that, one where the police were on their way. So, I assumed Giovani had something to do with that. And Aaron told us there were four men trying to make an exit down the back stairwell.”

Cadence hesitated a bit in boarding the plane. After all, the last time she had been on one, her exit had been hasty and painful. But once the G5 took off and they were up in the air, she began to relax. And her stomach had finally begun to calm down as well. Now, sitting in the front of the airplane with Aaron, who no longer chose to sit in the back now that Elliott was gone, Cadence found herself able to fully concentrate on the task at hand.“Are you doing all right?” Aaron asked, squeezing her hand.
