“Indigo, what do you think they’re going to do to us?”
Jordy’s question interrupted her thoughts.No sense in worrying him more than he currently was.“Nothing.He’s not a murderer.”That she knew of.“I’m sure they’ll let us go after his meeting with Abdullahi.They’ll probably drop us off in Miami.”
“Do you think so?”
Indigo swallowed.She hated lying to him.She and Griffin would do everything in their power to get them all out of this mess, but there was no guarantee they’d succeed.
“Uh, Indigo, can I speak to you over here?It’s urgent.”
“Sure.”Griffin’s request saved her from having to respond to Jordy’s question.
Her eyes had adjusted to the darkness, so she spotted Griffin standing a few feet away.She stood and shuffled over to him.“What is it?”
“We have a problem.”
“Just one?”
“Look.”
She followed his gaze to see several large plastic barrels connected by coils of wire.
“Is that what I think it is?”
“If you’re thinking it’s a bomb, you would be correct.”
Chapter Twenty-Three
Griffin stared at thebarrels, wires, and devices rigged up to blow the boat to smithereens.He certainly hadn’t expected to run across a bomb when he went looking for something to use to get out of the cuffs.It had been a shocking find.
“He’s going to lure Abdullahi on here and then blow it up,” Indigo surmised.
“My thoughts exactly.The big ass-kicker is that we’re on here too.”
That’s why Van Houten had instructed Gordon and Garcia to take Indigo and him with them.He planned on locking them in the hold so that they would perish in the explosion.No one knew where they were.Their parts and pieces would never be found, and with no body, there was no crime.
“We need to get loose and commandeer that speedboat to get out of here before it blows.”
