Excerpt
Southern Comfort Flight 213 landed smoothly at Miami
International Airport around 6 pm. Luna left the plane and walked to the
baggage area. While she waited for her luggage to arrive, her first thought was
to call Hector Luz’s cell. But, if he was corrupt, Luna’s call—even if she
tried to hide her number with a star 67 code—might tip him off that Charmed
Life increased its search for him. So she didn’t call.
When Luna’s luggage finally arrived, it wasn’t hard to find.
Nor, it appeared, was she.
A dark-skinned man in a tan cotton suit and black tie
spotted her. He folded the newspaper he’d watch Luna from behind and rubbed his
goatee thoughtfully. Then he began to move.
Luna gathered her laptop, slung her purse, and extended the
handle of her rolling duffel bag. Just as she was about to start up, the man
with the goatee slowed her down.
“Luna Nightcrow?” the man asked.
“Yes,” she answered.
