CHAPTER 24
SLOANE HAD CLEARLY been busy, because when we landed at Silver Springs, a local private airfield, there was a convoy of SUVs waiting to pick us up. We took the weapons and any sensitive equipment off the plane with us and left the rest. Everything else could wait until tomorrow.
Akari rode in the back of one of the vehicles with Black again, but this time I didn’t mind. I was just pleased she didn’t look as miserable as she had on the first leg of the journey. I hopped into the second car beside Jed, practising my anti-interrogation technique once more. It was a good plan until I remembered he snored worse than Evan, although a well-placed elbow to his ribs soon solved that problem.
The grandfather clock in the hallway was striking midnight when we got back to Riverley Hall.
