Chapter 560

Deep into the night, Elmsworth International Airport was a hive of hidden activity beneath its tranquil facade. Dangers lurked in the shadows, unseen but palpable.

Aaron had teamed up with the Customs Chief to hunt down their elusive prey, operating with utmost caution to avoid causing public alarm or disrupting the regular flight schedule. They had initiated the highest level of scrutiny, casting a dragniet across the airport’s expanse.

Plainclothes officers mingled with the crowds in the airport terminal, while members of the Ashbourne and Fairhaven groups stood guard beyond the customs checkpoint.

Tonight, the airport was a spider’s web, meticulously woven and waiting for Eden to blunder into its threads.
