“Well, I won’t stand in your way, but I don’t want to lose you either.”
There was no sense in even thinking about it until she talked to Griffin.Instead, she asked, “How did you guys track us down in the middle of the ocean?”
Evangeline gave her a rundown on how they flew to Van Houten Island when they couldn’t reach Indigo, and then traced Abdullahi’s helicopter, leading to the yacht seconds before it exploded.
“Do you remember the first day I met you?”
Indy smiled wistfully.“Like it was yesterday.”
“I told you that the information I was going to reveal was classified.Do you recall what you said?”
“I asked if you would toss me in Gitmo if I blabbed.”
Evangeline spread her arms.“And here we are.”
They were both laughing when Jackson returned with a man and a woman in dark suits.
“Ms.Adair, these agents want to get your statement about what happened,” Jackson said.
“Okay.”
Jackson and Evangeline leaned against the wall and listened while she recalled everything.She gave Griffin all the credit, downplaying her role since they thought she was Jinger’s beautician.
Once they left, the doctor came in and released her to return home.
“We’ve got a flight waiting for us.”
Panic tore through her.“No, I can’t.Griffin ...”
“He’s not here anymore,” Jackson informed her.“They whisked him away to Washington, D.C.”
Misery like nothing she’d ever felt before washed over her.“He didn’t say goodbye.”
