Chapter 82

Four hours is not nearly enough sleep by any means to function. I don't know how Everest is doing it. With the right amount of coffee, on the other hand, can help you make it to the airport and get on the plane so you can nap. The plane ride was going to be an eight-hour flight. We would be landing two hours away from where Dexter was hiding out. It was a kill on sight and kill anyone who would be standing in our way from here on out. The only time we would not kill on sight is if I found something in them, like being forced out of fear of family members being hurt.

I woke up a few hours later on the flight about three hours from us touching down. I wrapped the soft blanket around my body as I walked out of the bedroom on our plane. All eyes turned to me as I walked out. I smiled at them as their heads bowed to me out of respect. I made my way to Everest, and, of course, he was at the front of the plane discussing a new plan. When he smiled at me, his arms opened for me. I leaned into his arms as they wrapped around me tightly. Oh, I could be here forever.

"You woke up just in time babe." His voice was like velvet.

"I did? What are you guys discussing?" I asked him as my eyes darted between the men and women that were around.

"How we are supposed to be going about things, of course! Brent, Miranda and a few of their men will be meeting us at the airport. They will be aiding us in finding Dexter's hideout. Apparently, over night he hired someone to try to breach their castle. They, naturally, failed. When they questioned him, he informed them he would be paid a large sum and to bring Cassie to Dexter for a ransom. Brent took his head shortly after that. He is angry, rightfully so. Miranda is ready to murder anything and anyone who stands in her way." Everest sighed just before he placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Well, I do not really blame them. If someone was to threaten my family and loved ones, nothing would stand in my way. I hope this doesn't get in the way of them marking one another later this week. She was so excited about it." I sighed while thinking. "They could always move it and change the date. Honestly, I am surprised that they haven't already marked one another yet." I shrugged and moved out of Everest's arms.

"Where are you going?" Everest was wearing a sad frown, upset that I was leaving his side.

"To freshen up, we will be shifting soon after landing, yes?" I raised my brow as I turned back to look at him.

"Well, yes," Everest answered.
