SUMILIP si Lila sa bintana ng private jet na kinaroroonan. She could see towns below them, the houses and buildings were like tiny boxes from where she was sitting. Ito ang kauna-unahang beses na nakasakay siya sa isang private jet. Tiningnan niya ang wristwatch. They will probably reach Portland an hour. Halos dalawang oras kasi ang flight time between Las Vegas and Portland. And it has been already less than an hour since they left Ruthledge.
Naalala na naman niya how she ended up travelling in this private jet. Bago tapusin ni Nate ang tawag sa kanya kagabi, sinabi nito na gumising siya ng maaga. By six ay nakaligo at nakabihis na siya. She was a bundle of nerves while waiting for Nate to call her. Umaasa na nakaisip ito ng paraan para maresolba ang problema patungkol sa singsing niya
